Loss ofThree Thousand Lives.

Near Taganrog, on the Sea of Azoff. a
catastrophe occurred, about the beginning
of Feb uary last, which involy d a loss OF
life unparalleled except by mem rable
earthquakes or volcano eruptions. 1t APP
pears that some three thousand inhabit-
ants of Taganrog, relying upon the prom-
ise of fair weather made BY genial atmos-
phere and the clvudless sky, proceeded to
abe Azof Sea to indulge in the sport Of
fishing beneath the ice-a favorite pas
time Of that region. The atmoSp Sphere con-
tiuuing serene, the party were lulled into
feeling of security, and venture further
THAI usual upon the ice, in the hope OF
obtaining good haul. Suddenly breeze
sprung up from the east, which, growing
bolsterous BY degrees, whirled the loose
snow and fine particles of ice in all di-
rections, and before long succeeded in de-
taching the ice from the shore. The
large ice-feld then broke into numerous
pieces, which with their terrihed and help
less human freight, dntted towards the
open sea. No assistance could be render
ed the unhappy beings by their frantic
relatives and friends on shore, and within
two hours not a sign of life was visible on
the surface of the sea. On the following
day cake of ice drifted in shore. upon
which were FIVE 0. the unfortunates-three
of them dead, and the other two Duub
and insensible. The two latter-a girl
and an old nlan-were restored by means
OF the usual appliances, the girl, however
survived but a few hours; the man re-
covered, but lost the use of his tongue
a consequence, probably, of the fright
caused by the scene he had passed
through. He prepared a written narrative
of the occurrence of the fearful night on
the Azof. BY this catastrophe at least

that had he received our letter last win

accomplish as much good in Pennsylva-

One-Edea Men,

1t is frequently charged against anti
Slavery men, that they are impractical
and allow their ol position to slavery tC
absorb all their attention. A very little
reflection will convince any candid person
that this is great mistake, and is unjust
to the anti-Slavery people of any commu-
nifty, Take this county as an example, or
any township in the county, and who are
the nrst men and women applied to for
assistance in any good work. No matter
what the object-whetiler to help blind
woman, furnish clothing to the children
of some incorporate father, builda church,
start library, or open new road-the
anti-Slavery man Is applied to, with no
doubt Of the result. And this is the natu-
raj result or fruit that every true reformer
will bear We have been led to these
reflections, from reading the action of the
Church of the Puritans Or. Cheever for

churches in the West.
Our readers are aware that Cheever's is
the most ahti-Slavery church IN New
York, and that ttoentg of the richest men
in the church left it, because it was too
anti Slavery for them. But notwithstand-
ing this withdrawal of so many wealthy
memberS, they have borne the legitimate
fruit of living church, as thus stated by
the last number of the ". Y hdepend.

The Church of the Puritans has SET
a noble example in its contribution to the

feeble churches in erecting houses of wor.

Who the {" "Nigger-WOrShI ,


The Hon. Owen Lovejoy, of ILL.,, in a
recent speech in the House of Rcpresen-
tatives, thus tells northern democrats
who they are, and whose milk and care
nourishes the infancy of their southern
e1emplars and leaders There are few
modern democrats in Potter county who
are continually barking " "nigger, worship
ers" at Republicans, and who do SO SIM
ply because they are too ignorant or grow
cling to offer better arguments. Thank
God the light of Republican principles
is gradually irradiating their spoil, be-
nighted circle and the small band of bona
fde "nigger- worshipers " who maintain
a sick y existence amongst our free hills
are yielding to the glorious influence Of
the soul Inspiring rays of Right-of prac
teal Freedom TO the few who yet hide
their lights under the buShel of natural
or willful ignorance, we commend the fol-
lowing view of them at "mammy's' breast:
"The Slavery Democracy prates and chat
ters about negro equality Black Republ-
cans and 'nigger stealing to use its classic
phrases and improved orthography. 1t has,
or affects to have, great horror of niggers.
And any one VIII" advocates the principles of
human Freedom, rs they were enuncated and
aid down in enduring forms by the fathers of
the Republic is a woody head und these same
Democrats have learned tn speak of them with
A peculiar nasal twist. You would suppose
that these gentlemen whose olefactorieS are so
sensitive and acute, never saw Il nigger, ex-
cypt in menagerie. And yet, would you be-
lieve it the very first service rendered him
on earth is performed by Il Niger; rs An in
FAINT he draws the milk which makes his flesh
and blood and bones from the breast of mig
ger; looks up IN her face and smiles, and calls
her by the endearing name of maInmy, and
begs, perhaps, in piteOuS tones, for the privi-
lege of carrying nanny to the Territories
he is undresSed and put to bed by nigger,
and nestles during the slumbers of infancy in
the bosom of a nigger; he is washed, dressed
and taken to the table by a nigger, to eat food
prepared by niger; he is led to and from
school by niger; every service that child
hood demands is performed by a nigger, ex-
cept that chastisement, which, from the alb
sence of good manners in many cases, it is to
be feared is not performed at all. When down
appears on his lip, the tonsorial service is per-
formed by a Niger; and when he reaches
manhood, he invades the nigger quarters to
place himself on the endearing relation Of pa
ternitv to half niggers. Finally, if he should
be ambitious, it may occur that he will come
TO Congress to represent a constituency, three
ffths of whom niggers, and t'rlk abont
Black Republicans amalgamaton,' nigger
equality, Niger stealing, and the offensive
odor of i geriSm."
