"In regard to a revival of the slave
trade the indications of public scnti
ment at the South in its favor are re-
ally alarming. Along list Of papers
which advocate it is even now going
the rounds of the press, and among
these advocates the very question is
now being discussed whether an effort
should be made to induce the Charles

of the slave trade. In alluding to this
subject. therefore. Senator Douglas
only spoke of question that is at this

The citizens OF our town were agree
ably disappointed by the patriotic feel
ing exhibited on Monday Last. the ever
memorable Fourth OF July. 1t was
supposed that the day would be suf-
fered TO pass--as too many OF our In
dependence days have dcne-without
any appointed honors, and therefore
our citizens had gone about their sew
eral avocations as usual. But early
in tho day several Of the young men
began to parade in the streets, and
give visible signs of their intention TO
have a celebration: soon their number
was swellcd till most of our citizens
hal. with a hearty gool cheer, joined
with them. U. S. muskets in abun-
dance were procured. and the soul
stirring music of the fife and drum
were called into requisition. Colonel
Smith took command of the process
sion, and exercised il an hour or two
with marches through town, military
drill. etc. cheered by the frequent dis
charge OF rounds Of musketry. The
people then assembled at the east
front Of the court house, when the
Declaration Of independence was read
by Henry II. Neff. and brief patriotic
speeches were made by Col. Smith,
w. A. Peelle, T. NJ. Browne, James
Brown and John B. Goodrich, Esqs
The reading and speeches were excel
lent, and seldom have we seen more
cheering evidence that our people still
possess much Of the spirit of the
fathers of '76. They all seemed re-
ioiced that there was at least one day
in the year when they could meet and
mingle together their friendly greet
ings, free from partisan stiife and sec
tional animosity. And certainly it is
most beftting us as great aud happy
people TO observe this National Sab
bath, and to call and speak of th'
soul stirring scenes that cluster Sc
thickly around the day. We Civ,
many days to politics, to rail roads
to turnpikes, and TO other things af
fecting only the material interests o
the country. and surely one day in th'
year should cheerfully be given to In
dependence, when the great soul of tn
Nation can free itself from the thral
dom of business and indulge in tn
, patriotism SO belitting the day.
If our people would cherish tn
memory of our fathers. and the deed
Of 1776, we think there is no day il
, which it can so effectually be done a
by celebrating Independence day, a
our fathers did, by orations, festivitie
and military parades. These woul'
, perpetuate the recollection Of the grea
deeds of the past, and keep alive i
us the flame that glowcd in the heart
of the men OF '76, and which has rem
dered their names and their acts i'm
mortal.
At the close of the speaking, it wa
moved by one of our citizens that tn
Fourth of July, 1860, be celebrate
, by the citizens of Randolph Count
in the old fashioned style. which me
ton was carried enthusiastically an
with cheers. This is right.
q The day closed pleasantly and with
out any accident or any thing to il
!. terrupt the general good feeling. w
. bespeak for the coming fourth OF Jul
a general good time.

Eg- Senator Brown of Mississippi,
in summing up the main issues of the
contest in 1860, gives the first and
main as follows:
First, and most important to us,
the question of Slavery in the Terrific
ries. with its concomitants of popular
sovercignty-squatter sovereignty
the rights of the Territorial Legisla-
tures-the duties of Congress to the
States-and, finally, the rights of the
States when aggricved by the affirma-
tive or negative action of the Federal
Government"
Upon this proposition he makes the
following unmistakeablc statement.
which Judge Douglas will not be like
ly to misunderstood:
"Shall Congress, in default of Ter
ritorial legislation. afford adequate
protection to property, slaves inclu-
dcd, in the Territories? That is the
question. To this question Mr.. Doug
las answered no. and he had yet to
learn that any first-rate Northern
statesman in official position answered
yes. Without an affirmative answer
the South should never be satisfied
1t would not do to talk of non-inter-
vention; Congress had interviewed, and
it would intervene again. both on the
seas and on the land, to protect every
other species Of property; and there
was no reason. founded in common
sense, common law, common honesty,
or the Constitution, why it should not
intervene to protect slave property
Who doubted. if a Massachusetts man
went to Kansas with stock of woolen
and cotton goods. and there being nc
law to protect them, they should be
stolen. that Congress would inrerpose
and make law? And if q Western
man went with drove of mules ol
horses, and they stampeded on the
prairies, who questions that Congress:
would give laws to insure their return
to their owner, if the Territory refused
such law? And yet. if a Southern
planter went with his slaves. and they
were spirited away by the underground
! railroad, we were to be told Congress.
cannot interposc, we have erected q
Territorial Legislature for that pur
pose!' Out upon such barefaced ia
posturel IL the South consents thu,
to be hoodwinked, she deserves to b
cnslaved."

Terrible Disaster on the Southern
Michigan Railroad.

On Monday night of the 9th alt,
one Of the most frightinl railroad acci
dents happened on the above named
road that we have seen recorded for a
long time. 1t was occasioned by a
sudden rising in the water, which
removed high culvert \ Mr.. Par
dee of Bloomington. Illinois, who
arrived at the scene of this awful dis
aster on the next train, gives the fol-
lowing account of il. 1t happened
about half way between South Bend
and Mishwauka
At the time of his leaving by the
train 81 bodies had been taken ont,
and he understood that two more cul-
verts had been carried away east of
the one now referred TO, and by the
same rain, after the train on which he
came had passed over them. He call
culated the chasm to be 20 feet deep
and 30 feet across. The masonry was
swept off by the strong current. He
jndged from the mark along the en-
bankment that the water had risen II
feet. but when he left it it was almost
dry again.
The tank Of the engine, the smoke
stack and few splinters were all that
was discernible of the wreck of the
train. A large force of men were en-
gagged in picking up the bodies and
many were excavating the debris. but
considerable had been carried off by
the torrent.
Some nine of the wounded passen-
gers had been carried to Mishwauka,
and were laid out on pallets. arranged
in large room in the hotel. The
dead bodies were picked up and laid
out in the cars, with sheets covering
their faces. The men had worked two
hours to get one woman out of the
water. She was, of course, dead when
recovered. The scene on the banks of
the ravine, Mr.. Pardee says, was truly
awful, as one may well suppose. but
he says the amount of human misery
among the wounded was terrible to
behold. In the Mishwauka hotel he
saw fine little boy about nine years
old, with his left leg broken. and al
most open through the thigh, while
the right leg is cut completely off.
The lad was failing fast, and it is al
most impossible for him to recover.
He was one of a family of five
children, with the mother, who were
going to meet the father and the hus
band of this family. The mother was
killed, a daughter is missing. and
another boy is wounded, but not scri-
ously. He is in the same room with
his wrctched brother, while he saw
another of the young ones, six years
old, dead, having had his face com
pletely cut off. The bodies of the
females were not much mutilated.
One passenger got out of the sleep
ing car into the current, and was swept
along. but in going down he luckily
clutched hold of a tree, and by that
means effected landing.
a Mr.. Schaub of Chicago. who had
his leg broken. got Mr.. Pardee to tel
cgraph the fact to his wife.
