Political Rrmine

Among the principal leaders OF the Lee
compton party, We find the names OF Hon.
john A. Dix, the Free-soil candidate for gov
ernor Of New York. 10 1913; Jno. Cochraue,
the author Of the Buffalo platform resolutions
and a notorious Free-soil leader, until be
found chance of securing good ONCE by
wheeling suddenly into the Democratic line;
and John Van Burep, who few years ago
proclaimed in letters and speeches that no
more slave States should ever come into the
Union.
These men opposed the Democratic nom
ination Of Lewis Cass for the Presden-
cy in 1913, and were mainly instrumental IN
defeating his election, by running an oproSl-
ton candidate About the time these "tFoe-
soier." were battling against Democratic
measures and men in the North, Stevens,
Toombs and others Of that ilk, were denounc-
ing the "vile Democracy" in the South
Now, torsooth, these gentlemen claim more
rights in the Democratic church than they
are willing to concedc to its old and consls-
tent worshippers, and with an unparalleled
sumption assume to read those of the true
faith out of it, through their Black Repubii-
can Fremont organ, the New York Herald.
Go on, gentlemen; we will see presently what
the Democratic masses will have 10 say IN re-
gard to such usurption.- Washington States.

Serious Railroad Accident.

On Saturday night last, nine freight loco
motives left Martinsburg, with their trains
for Baltimore When near the Union dam,
about two miles above Ellicotrs Mills, one
of these trains Stacked its speed somewhat
from some temporary cause, and the engine
following ran into the rear OF 1t before It's
approach could be entirely checked. The
front train so struck was in charge of Mr..
Ebber', conductor, and Mr.. Marsh, engineer,
and the coluding train of Mr.. Hewitt. con-
ductor, and Mr.. Hand, engineer. Ehberrs
train had some twenty loaded cars, including
lot of twenty-four valuable horses and 9th
er live stock in charge of four or five drovers,
who occupied car provided for their accom-
mediation. according to the rule upon the
road. This car was the last one 10 the train,
and was the one struck by the approaching
eogna. The conductor. on seeing the dan
ger, ran into the car and hurriedly awakening
the drovers, warned then to escape by jump
ing off. The only persons, however, who bad
tune to ct out Of The car were Mr.. George
Cave the owner Of the horses, and one Of his
men named Percival Hamilton, who was the
first to attempt bis escape.
Before the conductor and the other dro-
vers could emerge from the car the engine
came up and not having been entirely
checked in its momentum, forced the drovers'
car with violence upon the next car, contain
ing barrelled alcohol. Fa ilton was caught
between thu corners and ends Of the two cars
aud instantly killed, bis head being literally
crushed off Mr.. Cave was mure fortunate,
though also outside the car, and, with the
men inside, was not hurt. though undergoing
fright that a long lifetime can hardly etface.
The two rear cars received some injuries, and
several of the barrels Of alcohol were STAYED
in and contents lost-BuH. Pat

Prayer-Mee,ingsin stores.

We understand (says the New York Tr-
bube) that in connection with the stores and
counting rooms of several of our most promi-
nent merchants, private prayer-meetngs
have recently been organized for the benefit
of the clerks and other employees. They are
held in some retired place IN the building,
secure from public intrusion, and have been
of great interest and profit to those who have
attended. Some years ago, young man
from New England came to this city, and was
employed as a clerk in large dry-goods
house, downtown. Shortly after his engage
mcnt, be came to his employer with the state
meat that some of the clerks we're seriously
interested in the subject of personal piety,
and requested that e small upper room in the
building might be set apart and furnished,
to be used exclusively as place of retire.
meut to which the various individuals con-
nected with the establishment might resort
for religious conversation, reading of the
Scriptures. and prayer. This request was
Immediately granted, and the room was used
for years for this only purpose, resulting In
the conversion of large number Of the per.
sons who, during that time, came IN and
went out Of the establishment. The similar
facts to which we have Just referred are an
indication that the present prevalent revival
is taking an uoususlly strong hold upon the
mercantile community.

Another Move m G mt.

Read this quotation from the the Chicago
Tribune Black Republican paper--in re-
ference to the doctrine OF the amendment
proposed by Senator Pugh, and which is said
to command the acquiescence and approval
Of many Southern members in Congress-
That paper accepts the doctrine OF that
amendment with the utmost heartlness and
cordiaIisy, and thus alludes to its value to
the Abolition party:
1T is now said that the act admitting
Kansas into the Union, under the Lccompton
Constitution, will contain clause declaring
that the people Of the State may amend their
constitution at any time they please, though
in doing so they violate plain and emphst-
ic provision of the Constitution lt5et. with
this power to overthrow constitutional bar
rlers, recognized By solemn act of Congress,
we shall be disposed to abate our opposition
to Lecompton, and help it along; but with
the express understanding, that the rule laid
down for Kansas shall be applied to the Con-
stitution of the United States, and that when
a majority of the legal voters OF the Repub'
lie choose TO demand an amendment OF the
fundamental law, the mode of amendment
prescribed 10 the Constitution shall no,
stand in the way Of their will"

Movement Of the Earth.

The mildness Of the present season has
drawn forth many curious specuIatiOns as to
the causes. A change Of the currents of the
ocean, and the approach of the Cult stream,
ty fifty miles or more towards our coast,
have been announced as remarkable facts,
which may have some relation to the sub
iect. We will now add another sill more Gu
rious fact for the considerati.n Of our read
ers: "The British Astronomer X yal, III bis
last annual report, refers to certain mysteri-
Gus changes of level aud direction of one
of the instruments. one occurring with chan
ges of temperature, the other at the equl-
noxes, and be imaglDes some movement Vi
the earth itself t. be the Cause OF these re-
markable phenomena" Those who are ac-
auainted with the perfection of the instru-
ments used in great Ob,erSatories, the per
manancy of the direction Of the transit and
equatorial instru ments, and the accuracy of
the measurements, depending on their accu-
racy, will understand that these mysterious
changes alluded to, are in the highest degree
important ard astounding. l, the earth

Gov. Wise.

Whatever may be said of the failings, &C.
oentricities and alterations of our Governor,
he is certainly man for an emergency
With an uushrinking energy and an indomi-
table will, he meets his responsibilities at a II
pointe; and if under the excitement OF his
impetuous impulses be frequently overleapS
all bounds and rushes into dictatorial e1trar-
spances, be sometimes, by we'll timed, and
iudicious exercise Of power, proves hlmself
to be worthy of it. In his present ottclnl re
lations with the people there is mixture not
exactly in equal parts. Of good and evil IN his
deeds. His reprehenrible musket proceeding
is partially otf.setted by his commendabIe
Proclamation of Saturday. His sntl-Le.
compton epistes are partially balanced BY
his true Virginisn hog chops and turnlp
tons" effusion which we commented on
week ago. In fact all bis gubernatorial er-
rantres and rampancies are relieved consio-
erably bv those inspi atoms of his better ge-
nius. which breathe in such appeals rs those
which on two recent memorable occasions be
has addressed to crowded gatherings IN Rich
mond. We have no reference in this connec-
ton to his outrageous imposition upon the
public patience in the affair Of the Three

day evening be confesses the sin aGd ailudes

The Topeka Movement Abandoned.

The Topeka huubug seem, at last to have
exploded. As it never had any legal validi-
ty, it has been kept shJas merely because it
served as the raIIyins point Of political
party, But it is now openly abandoned by
those who have hitherto protested to regard
il as the only Legitimate government in Kan.
sas We find in the Missouri Democrat 40
address issued by a joint committee of the
two branches OF the Topeka Legislature, in
which they say:
High executive officers under the State con-
stitutiou have publicly declared that the con-
stiturcn is dead. Discouraged, many mem
bers Of each body have gone home and left
US without quorum. We are still ready to
perform oar duties, should the will Of the
majority desire it. Should trying hour for
the people of Kansas arrive, by the accep.
lance of the LecumptOn constitution by Con-
gress, We shall be at our posts should the
people in convention decide 20 fall back on
their old government We are thus COM
PEELED, by necessity that leaves US no
choice, to adjourn for the present, and to
refer back to the people who elected US, the
question as to whether the Topeka constitu-
ton is dead.
This is probably the last we shall hear Of
the Topeka State government

Correspondence Of the Alexandria Gazette.
RICHMOND, March 9, lS59.-The sessioa of
the General Assembly was closed on Sstur-
day night, at o. O'Clock, sine die. The
House and galleries were crowded to sufo-
cation. A moment after the adjournment
the Speaker stated that be had commuu-
cation from the Governor, which the Clerk
would read. 1t turned out to be Procla-
nation for an Extra Session, which took the
anti-lnternal Improvement party good deal
by surprise. 1t was apparent previous to
the adjournment that they were willing to
sign the call on the Governor. but as the
paper was carefully put away, they could
not do SO; nor was it intended they should.
as it was known that the Governor would
take the responsibility of doing the very
thing they did not expect he would do, and
did not with him to do. This was a bold
move of the Governor, and Wise stock has
advanced from zero up to IS per cent. with

Wings admire him very much, as an honest,

cracy or not, or any body else.
To-day, the House agreed to take up all

think the session will hold till the 25th
or Goth of March, and adjourn finally, or till
the 2nd Monday of January, 1859. 1t is to
be hoped that the internal improvement: bills
will ell finally pass. The prospect now is
that they will; as there seems to be better
temper than prevailed at the close of the regu-
lar session. The Internal improvement bills
will not be acted on till the middle of next
week. Notice was given for the taking up of
the bill for the Covingtnn and Ohio Road, on
Wednesday, the 18th. Agood many mem bers
will be absent this week. 1t is now showing
hard, and as the mails from Alexandria
have failed for the last twenryfour hours,
it is presumed the Potomac has a good deal
of ice in it. LOCKER ON.
