A TERRIBLE AcCIpENT,-In the naval work
shops Of Cherborugb, France, there is a foun-
dry for the manufacture of heavy iron castings.
An immense crucble hangs over the furnace
and when the metal is in state Of fusion this
crucible is removed from it by means Of ma
chnery, and the glowing ore poured into mouldl
which are formed in the sand 1t happened
that some twenty workmen were engaged ii
the operation of casting when suddenly tho
screw which held the handle of the pot gavf
way, aud 10 moment the liquid metal flooded
the workshop like lava from volcano. Ter
of the workmen were overtaken by the flaming
torrent, and their feet and legs literally burnt
than their fellows, escaped by climbing up on
the beams which supported the roof, where, safe
themselves, they behed the fearful race be-
tween their unhappy comrades and the molten
iron, which overlook the wretehes, shrivellng
up their limbs with its fiery touch.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE AT SACRAMEYTo-A man
named Josselyn, steward at Smiths garden,
on 28th of Feb, by taking stryOhniqe. Emetics
we're administered, and the man got well. The
Sacramento Union Gays that Josselyn was for
merly employed in mercantile house in San
Francisco, where be was discharged fer ntsm-
ated, n company with Smiths cook, whereupon
the latter was discharged and the former repri
manded, possibly with an assurance that he alsC
would be dismissed from service should the of.
fence be repeated. Having become inebriated
it is presumed that he was led to the commits
sion Of the act under the impression that he
would lose his situation.

INCREASE OF New ORLEANs-The New Or
leans Picayume improves the occasion Of its twen-
ty-frst birthday to indulge in retrospect of
the progress of New Orleans during a score of
years. 1t says:
"Our city. within this period has increased
its own numbers 60 per cent. in spite of all the
adverse circumstances which have, from time to
time combined to depress and retard it. 1t has
spread over twice the area which it then occu-
pied. Swamps have been drained off, avenues
opened, whole lines Of strsets built up, stores
and warehouses, hearing the burdens of the
mighty West, WHICH sends its teeming products
down. increasing in quantity and value every
year, stand where the cotton press or the shan
ty stood, on the outskirts or where the river
ran, in these days, aud along the embellished
streets tall churches and public buildings rise
as monuments of our increasing wealth as a
city"

THE BANKs.-The Philadelphia banks resumed
specie payments on all their liabilities, on the
Sd Of February. The Ledger of the 4th says
The announcement created little or no sur
prise from the fact that coin has been paid tc
all who demanded it for the last two or three
weeks There is no probability that there will
be any unusual demand for it, but, if there
should be, the banks have taken care to provide
themselves against every contingency likely to
occur. We have not heard from the country
banks, but suppose they will generally resume.
The Mauch Chunk Bank, we learn by Morse
graph, resumed yesterday, with our city banks.
The Bank Of Pennsylvania suspended on Fri
day. the 25th Of September, and all the other
city banks the next day. the 2Gth. They have
consequently been suspended l30 days. Coin,
for at least one-thrd Of this time, has eircula-
ted so freely that the Inconvenience of suspen-
sion was hardly felt
The Legislature of Tennessee passed on the
28th Of Jan. a bank bill, designed "tO enforce
the resumption of Specie Payment by the sus-
pended banks; to offer to their acceptance GER
tain amendments to their Charters, and fer 9th
cr purposes" The banks are required to re,
sumo specie payments on or before the lst OF
November, 1858; and they are prohibited after
the lst of July, 1858, from paying out the notes
of foreign banks also, from selling gold and
silver at premium. and from dealing in uncurs
rent money. 1t is also provided that no bank
while in state of suspension shall sell exchange
on any city in the United States at higher
rate Of premium than per cent. 1t is further
required that the banks shall pay out only their
own notes or those of their branches; and ex-
cept in cases of parent banks, they are prohlb-
tied from issuing notes except at the place
where they are to be redeemed This provision
takes effect on the FIRST Of September, 1859.

This is the more particularly needful now, in
view Of the new issues which must arise within
few years, aud which must be the means OF
securing wealth, power, and an extension oil
our institutions seuthward, FOUR statesmen now
look calmly at the facts before they plunge the
North, with the South, into this Lecompten
maelstrom. They should neither sacrifice the
North nor South for Kansas; especially when
there is such incontrovertible reasons Gas given
by Governor Denverl for letting Kansas alone.

AN ILLINOIS GIRL HELD CAPTIVE BY THE INDl-
ANs.-Mr. Achner the Indian trader, who
brought intelligence of the Chan Indians re-
turning from Salt Lake Valley to their villages,
eighty miles southeast of Fort Laramie, under
the direction Of Mormon leaders, gives the fol-
lowing information in relation to white girl
held as captive by the tribe, We quote from
the st. Louis Democrat
"a white girl, about nine years Of age, was
in the camp of the Chiaus dressed and painted
as squaw. BY her own account she was for
merly from Green County, Illinois, and hat
been stolen by tho Indians from her father,
wagon while crossing the plains. She had nc
knowledge whether her parents were living OIL
dead. Mr.. Achner was unable to rescue her by
force, or to buy her. Her Indian captor was
absent on hunt but Mr.. A. expresses himself
confident that he will be able to bring the child
in on his next trip Mr., Achner has been a
trader among the Indians many years, and we
believe his statements entitled to full credit"

Popular Sovereignty in 1887.
CLAY, CRITTENDEN, BENTON, DOUGLAS, CALHOUN,
SIJAS WRIGHT Upon THE SAME PLATFORM

CLAY, cR1rTENDES, BENTON, DOUGLAS, CALHOUN, AND
WRIGHT, UPON THE SAME PLATFORM.
In 1887 more than twenty years ago, Henry Clay
introduced into the U. S. Senate the following
oution, which was warmly supported and voted for
by such Democrats as Benton, Calhoun and Wright.
Read it, and then say, if you can that Stephen A.
Douglas does not stand upon National Union plat
form:
''Resolred, That any attempt of Congress to aRol-
ish slavery in territory of the United Stated in
which it exists would create serious alarm and just
apprehension in the States sustaining that domestic
insttution-would be violation of good faith to-
wards the inhabitants of any such territory who
have been permitted to enter with and hold slaves
therein; and because when any such territory shall
be admitted into the Union as State the PEG
PIE THEREOF SHALL BE ENTITLED TO
DECIDE THAT QUESTION EXCLUSIVELY
FOR THEMSELVES."- Chicago Times.
The above is from the Chicago Times, the organ
of Judge Douglas There is no squatter sovereign
ty-no assumption of the right of the people of a
Territory to exclude slavery by "unfiendly legsla
ton in the above resolution 1t embodies the true
doctrine, that when any Territory "shall be admit
ted into the Union a State the people thereof
shall be entitled to decide that question exclusively
for themselves" But not before. No power less
than sovereign create or abolish property in the
Territories. Congress cannot do it; and if Congress
cannot, then surely the inhabitants of Territory
cannot for their action is subject to the supervision
of Congress.

NoRTn CAROLINA MILITARY INsrIrUTE-Dr. Pritch-
ard, of Mecklenburg, introduced into the House on
Friday last bill to incorporate this Institute, to
be located in Charlotte in this State. e,
The citizens of Charlotte and the surrounding
country have evinced deep interest in this pro-
posed institution, and trust that their highest
expectations in this respect will be realized. The
buildings for the purpose will cost about $4,000
The course of studies in addition to the usual Eng
lsh, will include French, Mathematics, Natural and
Experimental Philosophy, Chemistry, Natural His
tory, Rhetoric Mineraology and Geology, Civil and
Military Engineering, and Infantry. and Artillery
Tactics. Schools Of this kind, having in view the
physical, moral and intellectual education of our
youth should be literally encouraged. These mil
itary schools, by training our youth to knowl
edge of arms, will thus afford nucleus around
which our militia can rally in time of war.

Douglas and the administration.

We copy the following from the Washington cor
respondence of Forney's Press Forney is known
to be bitter and INSCRIPTIONS opponent of Mr..
Buchanan's administration. Time will show wheth-
er this correspondent has defined Senator Douglass
position correctly or not:
jefferson Davis has frightened some of the Nor
thern Lecomptonites dreadfully by his jackson
speech. Any number of protests are sent up here
against the doctrine that Congress must intervene
to protect slavery in the Territories Glass;
himself, being far from ready to agree to the pro-
Presidents message. But the President stands
firm. He assuredly told Davis that he intended to
advance upon his present position, and he will do
it. 1t is odd by the way that the President should
have made two promises-both of the EXTREMIST
kind--to the Senators from Mississippi, Brown and
Davis. He told the first that he would remove ev-
cry offce-hOlder in the North who did not come up
to the odous requirements of the English bill and
he now promises Davis that he intends to advance
upon his delightful experiment of Lecompton.-
Brown said that the President was "weak in the
back" after making the first promise; but he was
holding place in the North under this dynasty is
"weak in the back" or "weak in the knees" since
the frost that fell in October and November; and
now, when Davis brings forth new promise for the
President, [ fear that this weakness may end in a
consumption and rapid decay.
good many of the Southern men, some of them
already here assert that they will not follow Jefer
son Davis in his new chase after fame.
The statement that Senator Douglas has offered
terms to the Administration is weak and shameless
invention. He is expected to get here about the
Christmas holidays, and will take his seat immed,
ately. He has made his mark, and will stand on
the elninence he has won, with disposition to
court his enemies to desert his friends. He stands
to-day where he has always stood; has nothing to
unsay, nothing to repent and nobody's pardon to
ask
