GENERAL INTELLIGENCE.

FRIGHrFUL ScESE.-At Wheeling, young
man who was working at j chimney on roof,
lost his hold on the wet roof and slid slowly
down towards the caves. The two or three
persons who witnessed the accident turned
away sick with terror. Although the man
made every effort to get hold, which the fear
of certain death would naturally prompt, he
moved slowly down, and was only checked
from falling to the pavement below by water
spout. against which his feet came in contact.
But for this frail obstruction he must have
been dashed into shapeless mass. Without
uttsring cry for help, the young man kicked
off his shoes and proceeded to ascend, which
he succeeded in doing. and went to work at
his chimney again, apparently taking little
account of an accident which had made the
eye-witnesses heart-sick and dumb with ter
ror. Wonder what he would sell his set of
nerves for?

Loss OF THREE THOUSAND LIvEs-Near
Taranror on the Sea of Azoff, a catastrophe
occurred, about the beginning of February
last. which involved loss Of life unparalleled
except By memorable earthquakes or volcanic
eruptioas. 1t appears that some three thou
sand inhabitants of Taganrog, relying upon
promise of tair weather made by the genial
atmosphere and the cloudless sky, proceeded
to the AZof Sea TO indulge in the sport OF hsh-
ing beneath the ice-a fayoTite past time of
that region. The atmosphere continuing Sc
rene, the party were lulled into feeling OF
security. and ventured further than usual upon
the ice, in the hope of obtaining good aacl.
Suddenly breeze sprung up from the east,
which, growing boisterous by degrees, whirled
the loose snow aud 6ne PARTICLES of ice in all
directions, and before long succeeded IN de-
taching the ice from the shore. The large
ice field then broke into numerous pieces,
which, with their terrified and helpless human
freight, drifted towards the open sea- No as
sstance could be rendered the unhappy beings
by their frantic relatives and friends on shore,
and within two hours not sign of life was
visible on the surface of the sea. On the fol-
lowing day cake of ice drifted in shore upon
which were five of the unfortunates-three of
them dead, and the other two numb and insen-
sible. The two latter-a girl and an old man
were restored by means of the usual appli-
ances, the girl, however, survived but few
hours the man recovered, but lost the use of
his tongue-a consequence, probably. OF the
fright caused by the scene he had passed
through. lie prepared written narrative of
the occurrences of that fearful night on the
Azoff. BY this catastrophe at least thres
thousand persons found watery grave.

DANGEROUS CoUNTERFEIT.-A dangerous
counterfeit has just been detected at the
Treasury Department, in Washington, in the
shape of So piece, the exterior of which is
pure gold, plated upon an alloy, of which
gold seems to be the base. The coin contains
about three dollars worth of pure gold, and
is of such really superior execution to
make it pass readily for genuine. 1t vas de-

AUDITOR GENERAL.-Amongt the names men
toned in connection with the nomination for
Auditor General, by the Peoples party in
Pennsylvania, we see that of Col. S. S. Whar-
ton, of Huntingdon. Mr.. W. is man of good
ability, was once member OF the Legisla-
tnre' and is doubtless well qualified for fhe po-
sliion Tor which he has been named. We
thihk the centre of the State is entitled to the
prominent candidate. Last year, the Eastern
part had the Supreme Judge and the West the
Canal Commissioner; and it is therefore no
more than right that the Auditor General
should, and We think will be conceded this
year to the central portion, and in this respect
Col. Wharton occupies prominent position.

ANOTHER CONVENTION.

We last week briefly mentioned the fact that
the Anti-Lecompton Democrats had issued
call for State Convention, to meet at Harris
burg on Wednesday the 18th day of April,
1859. The object, as set forth in the call, is
s.to vindicate the name, fame and principles
of the Democratic party, outraged and insult
ed'' by the late office-holders' Convention to
resist federal political dictation and despot-
ism to re-assert the principle of popular SOW
ereignty and to sustain Gov. Packer, sswho
has been assailed and prescribed" by the min
ions of the President. This call, as ii appear
ed in the weekly Press, had 25S names at
| tached to it, and we learn that large additions
of signatures are being made daily. The
movement will, matter of course, meet
with bitter opposition from unscrupulous
| partizan press, and interested and venal poll
ticians but the people cannot be SO easily
managed, and the indications now are that the
masses will spurn federal Intervention in State
| politics. There are, however, number of
! Democratic papers that come out 'fearlessly,
with the Press and the State Sentinel, against
the course pursued by the Convention of the
| 10th March. The Huntingdon Globe says:
sWe expected better things from the assem-
/ bled cisdom of the Democracy of the State.
Instead of harmonizing the party, the MAORI
| ty of the convention thought proper to strike
| at Gov. Packer, because he dared to differ with
| the President on his Kansas policy. IF the
nominees of the Convention are not to receive
the votes of the political friends of Governor
Packer, it is easy to guess by what an over
whelming majority they will be defeated
The Doylestown Democrat says =
| ssThe attack upon the Administration of
| Governor Packer we consider the weakest aud
silliest move that has been made on the politi-
! cal chess board for some time. Governor
! Packer has hosts of friends in all parts of the
! State, and it is hardly possible that they will
| be very active in placing men in power, whose
election will be considered triumph over him.
The LycomIng Gazette remarks:-
ssLecomptonism overshadowed everything,
/ and to uphold that iniquity and its adherents
was the sole aim and work of the convention.
! To bestow upOn it and them the most fulsome
! praise, upon the one hand, and to heap upon
! those who had the manlineSS to dissent from it
/ the foulest abuse, upon the other, was the
| great object of the managers of the gathering.
| -. Even common decency was not observed
in the very madness which ruled the hour.
! Never before was the Democratic party SO
| grossly outraged by any assemblage.''
These extracts will suffice to show the feel
| ing that prevails in different sections of the
State; and from them we may readily infer
! that the candidates put in nomination by the
office-holders' Convention, will find that Le-
compton is s.a hard road TO travel"
