Sad Accident-The Waterloo Courier of
Tuesday last contains the following =" On
last Saturday evening, while the Republicans
of this place were having jubilee in honor
of the good news received of the election of
Honest Old Abe to the Presidency Of the
United States, an accident occurred which
may long be remembered by the patriotic
citizens of Waterloo. A young man named
JAMES Fay was engaged in loading cannon,
and from some cause unknown it was dis
charged while Mr.. Fry had hold of the ram
rod, tearing and shattcring his hand in a
shocking manner. Dr. HARPER, assisted by
Drs. Bowen, -McFArRlcH, and MIDDLEDIrcH,
from examination of the unfortunate young
mans wounds, found that amputation was
necessary, and his hand was accordingly
taken off. Besides the above damages his
arm was fractured between the amputated
part and elbow, and the cavcal was fractured
on the same side. His left hand was also
severely injured Mr. Fry is poor man,
with small family, and, being dependent Oh
his labor for support, the loss of his right
hand will be sad affection

Hurrahing for LINCOLN, burning powder, and
throwing firc-balls, comprised the order of

performance which consisted in throwing
fire-balls at tho store of brother Democrat,

The prospects of Mr.. Douglas, which
seemed to brighten little, Wednesday night,
were again obseured yesterday, when it be-
came apparent that the facts gave no warrant
or the hopeful speculations which were for
warded in advance. The purely sectional
battle now being carried on for platform is
nearly certain to terminate either in his defeat
or in the division of the convention. which
would render his success in the convention a
fruitless victory. 1t will not be safe, however.
to base any calculations for the future upon the
aspect OF the convention presented by the dis
patches, this morning. The contest is too close
and human nature is too faIlbe, to Justify
any assurance of the result
The disposition of the cotton states toward
Mr.. Douglas has been very much inflamed
during the last twenty four hours, so that

satisfactory platform, or upon the nomination
of Mr.. Douglas seems inevitable The Charles

las statement of his position on the territorial
question, in contrast with the Dred Scott dc.

and the platform of the democracy of many
of the slave states. The publication has con-
tributed much to the anarchy in which the
convention is doomed to be swallowed up.
The Cincinnati platform is visited with
equal denunciation, and the fact of its defeat

convention, if it should ever reach that body.
evidences how deep gulf is yawning between
the sections of the democratic party. "Lct

Mr.. Corwin's favorite topic of the constitu.

ject of interesting discussion in the House of
Representatives, Wednesday. Messrs. Elliot
and Dawes of Massachusetts, participated in
the discussion. The former made an able
speech which elected from Mr.. Corwin col
loquial speech of two hours in length, keeping
the house, of course, in great good humor,
and answering arguments with pleasantly,
sarcasm, and ridicule.

There are accounts of great excitement in

great unanimity, are Messrs Edward II. Rol-

The attorney general of New York is inves-
tigating the prevalent charges of corruption
against members of the last legslatu e, in
connection with the passage of some of the
strange bills which were before that body, and
threatens to prosecute every one of the guilty

herculean purpose, and accomplishes it, he
will deserve the gratitude and applause of
honest men everywhere.

hOHtOn.
At the meeting of the commissioners with
the medical practitioners, in the Council Cham
Der, at the State House, in Boston, yesterday
forenoon among others present by invitation,
was VIM. S. Lincoln Esq, President of the
Worcester County Agricultural Society. AT.
ter consultation, the following pledge, drawn
up by DIR. Dadd, who had, the day previous,
obtained the signature to the same of the nine
gentlemen named in Thursdays Spy, who sub
scribed 500 each, was presented to various
other persons for their signature;
Believing it to be of the highest Importance
that the fatal disease among cattle known as
the "Pleuro- Pneumonia should be at once and
fully extirpated, and that the sum of $4,000,
appropriated for the purpose by the Legisa-
ture, is inadequate thereto, 1.-THE Commissions
ers having no authority to go beyond that
sum-, the undersigned hereby agree to be held
responsible to said Commissioners to the
amount set against our respective names so
that, in case the next Legislature does not ap-
| propriate the necessary amount to meet the
| expenses incurred by the Commissioners atore-
| said, we agree to be assessed pro rata upon our
subscriptions for the balance.
The names of thirty other gentlemen, who
subscribed 500 each were obtained, thus
swelling the amount af the 500 subscriptions
to $4,000. H. H. Peters, Esq, of Southboro'
subscribed $1,000, and Joseph Burnett Esq,
of that town, $500. In addition to this the
Massachusetts Society for promoting asricul.
ture, the trustees of which were called together
| yesterday for the purpose, at the suggestion of
| Mr. Lincoln, pledged the society to be respon.
sible for 81 90 more, making the whole smount
subscribed thus far $1,000, to enable the com
mssioners TO proceed in their work. 1t is
hoped that at least the sum of 900 will be
| speedily signed, as we understand the commits.
| Sioners feel confident that with that amount at
their disposal they can exterminate the dis
ease. 1t is thought that $1,000 will pay
for all the cattle now known to be affected,
leaving $4,000 for contingencies. There is
urgent necessity that this sum should be i'm.
mediately raised, as every days delay adds to
the extent of the disease.
r. b. Fay of Lynn, having resigned his
place on the commission, DR.. George B. Lor-
ing Of Salem was yesterday appointed in his
place, and has entered upon the discharge Of
his duties.
We understand it is the intention of Mr.
Lincoln to call meeting of the trustees of the
Worcester Agricultural Society at an early
day to consider this matter.
The co nmissioners will go to North Brook
field to day, accompanied by surgeons and
others, to proceed further in their investiga-
ton of cattle in the infected district

SHOE ESTABLISHMENTS IN CHARLESTON.
The experiment of establishing wholesale shoe
estabishments-branche OF the large houses
at the north-hIs not proved an entire success
in Charleston, although their trade is consid-
cradle. There are three houses of the kind
here, and other articles besides shoes are added
to the list of articles offered for sale. The
trunk business appears to divide the attention
OF the principal shoe houses here. The strikes
in New England have caused rise of fifteen
per cent. on the price ofshoeS sold in Charles
ton and throughout this part of the southern
country. The principal storehouses here are
those of Durham, TAFT, & Co., E. B. Stoddard
& Co., Force & Mitchell, and Hasseltine &
Walton. Mr.. Dunham belongs in Massachu-
setts. He is brother of the well known Gen.
Durham of Arlington, Mass, large shoe
manufacturer. A son of Gen. d. is also in
business here, where he has been located two
or three years. Mr. Stoddard is a native of
Upton, Mass. +; one of his partners halls from
North Carolina. Mr.. Force is a native OF New
Jersey, and MIR. Mitchell of North Carolina
Mr.. Haseltine is a tall son of HaverhilI, Mass,
and Mr.. Walton of North Carolina. Some of
these gentlemen go north every summer, and
they also visit the shoe manufacturing towns
in New England once or twice a year. The
business OF manufacturing shoes is not carried
on to any extent in South CaroIina.}

This entertaining and highly instructive
pamphlet, The author of which is Mr.. Carl
Heinzen, editor of "Der Pionier," can be re.
commended to all who take an interest in the
study of the characteristics of the different ma
tionalities. In this pamphlet he dwes upon
the habits and customs of the Germans and
Americans with candor and remarkable impair
tiality, and his language is so pointed that
there can hardly be any doubt in regard to
what he wished to impart to the mind, and is
at the same time characteristic of the man.
Whoever has read any of his former writings
will also find him here the same close observ-
er, and, from noble motive, welding the crit.
ical knife of the thoughtful examiner. He
delineates the character of the two nations,
points out the differences between their spirit
ual faculties, the wants of their intellectual and
moral development, and indicates in what
how they might supply each other in many
respects. The following specimens taken at
random may perhaps give better idea of the
merit OF the production. In speaking of the
advice which the Americans" (meaning know
nothings) give the foreigners, saying, "Amer-
icanize yourselves" he remarks on page 15:-
