from Maine, by acclamation, will do much to
dispoi the baseless fallacy, that the triumph of
Mr. BUCHANAN decided the great issue between
the North and South. Even Pennsylvania, uhe

her verdict in November last, were supposed 10
be on the side Of constitutional rights, has neu.
trai'xed the effect of that verdict, by sending i.

THE Revolutionary Claim BW.-Wc
would call the attention Of our readers to tile
action Of the Senate on the Revolutionary
Claim Bill. which was, we trust, forever and
effcctually killed by the action of the Sen
ate yesterday, (Fri'lay.) We give the ayes
and nays on this important bill, as we de-
sire the people to see who are aud who are
not their defenders. TO Mr. Toombs, Of
Geo., more, we believe, than any other ore
man, are the people Of this country Indebted
for fle defeat OF this plumber scheme 1t is
well known that most of the pretended
claims. amounting in the aggregate to the
enormous sum Of s3,OO0,00o, have been
purchased by sharpers and spectators, who
are now endeavoring to push the scheme
through Congress. The revolutionary SOL
d'ers, or their heirs even, will never get a
moiety of the sum asked Of Congress. The
most Of it will so to specializing individuals,
who, under plea of patriotism, strive to
rob the Treasury. It's curious, too, to note
the vote on this bill. Every freedom
s''rlckcr," every Senator devoted to the
" elevation Of the negro" favor this grab on
the Treasury, while almost every member
claiming to he u Democrat votes against it.
The people, by observing such votes as this
one, will Le ahle to see who are their friends
much better than by what is said at l,iglfalu
lin speeches during elcctionecring cam
paigns.-NcU York Day Book.

friahr"i Gn"pocetcr Erplosion.-The

dispatch announcing a dreadful explosion
of gunpowder at Naples. The Paris Steele,

"A frghtfnl accident took place here Mt
half past twelve o'clock yesterday. The
magazne at the arsenal exploded. The re-
port and the concussl"n were so great us TO

smell Of powder and sulphur. In few
minutes, however, people were somewhat
more quiet, for 10y IL dense smoke rising
from the new castle it WAS plain that the
dangerous deposit Of the powder there had
exploded. All the batteries OH the mole
had disappeared. The guns, with their SEN

saved some of her crew. Several of these
brave young fellows were wounded by the
explosion. The deck Of the frgate was

OF the human body. 1t was a horrible sight.
The number Of victims is estimated mt about

For the rhnnix
Then and Now.

Nh. EDITOR Some 40 years since. there was
young industrious and thriving mechanic, whose
shop was situated in a New England village. lie
was attentive 10 his business and had accumulated
few hundred dollars, when he had the misfortune
to have his " blacksmith shop" burned over his
head. This a severe blow to his hopes, and
disappointment to his expectations He was dis
ccuraged, but the inhabitants then on the stage
came forward, and raised some 100000 by sub
scription TO rebuild his shop. His " brother me-
chanics, worked, and the day laborer helped
by their days work. His shop was rebuilt with
this aid, and thus encouraged, our then young me
chanic has H0w become man Of wealth and posi-
ton. The blacksmith is nolr Bank President.
.N6p great fire broke out in the immediate VIC
Unity. where this mechanics shop hen STOOD and
caused wide spread ruin round, .Nolc as then,
its effects most seyereand disastrous to young
mechanics" who were just starting in life. BY it
they were stripped in single night of the earnings
Of years, and somewhat discouraged as this young
mechanic" WAS then
Non as then, the inhabitants of the village, by
subscription made an effort to aid the young me-
chanics" who were burned out and discouraged
somewhat
Among others called on was, this same mechan-
c who was burned GU, forty years ago, then young,
wanting aid, How, rich and able to help others,
and no doubt having entirely forgotten what had
been then done for him, he noc refused to contribute
anything to aid the sufferers.
Query-Would it be any more than fair for this
nop worthy banker, no,o to repay what was then
done for him, principal and interest," and make it
fund, for the relief Of the "young mechanics"
who have notc been burned out SEMEN

Locomotive Explosion on the Cheshire
Railroad.

On Friday night about uine o'clock, rs the last
train up on the Cheshire Railroad had gone about
a mile and half above the station in Fitrwilliam.
the locomotive exploded causing the instant death
Of the engineer and seriously injuring the fireman,
though it is believed not fatally The part of the
engine which gave way was the top Of the "hre
box" The steam passed down from this fracture
through the bottom and FROM its reaction in strik
ing the ground the engine was thrown about twice
its length from the track. The vent being Mt the
hind end, that part Of the engine tilted up and
thrown clear over in u complete somerset, as IS ev
ident from the marks upon the ground where each
end struck as the engine went over. The tender
was also thrown from the track though not 80 far,
it having become detached from the engine. The
cars remained in position, several Of the forward
ones being for freigh; with passenger car attach
ed in the rear. Sngully enough none Of the
passengers heard the explosion and they were for
some time unaware that any accident had happen
ed, thinking the stoppage nothing unusual. The
report, however, was heard very distinctly at Ftz-
william village two miles of and in other directions
much farther. 1t sounded like the discharge Of a
six FOUNDER and Jared the earth in the same man
ner. Whether the explosion was caused by de-
fciency Of water or from some defect in the engine
is not known. The engine is the "Manadnock'' it
had been upon the road nearly from its completion
ten years ago but whether that length Of time
should materially impair the part which gave way,
or whether, is frequently done, it had been re-
modelled and renewed, and so like the boys jack

thrown to n great distance. and Corning received
two fragments Of iron in his abdomen, but they
were probably not the immediate Of his death.
