Sad Accidents

Frank COolbaugh, of this borough, son
Of Wm. w. Coolbaugh, decd met with
a serious accident yesterday morning, on
the ID. L. & W. Railroad, near the
Stroudsburg Depot. Frank was employed
on the Gravel Train, and attempting to
get on while the train was in motion, got
his left foot fast between tie wheels of
the Locomotive and had it most shocking
ly crushed.
Another lad, named Edward Flannery.
Of Hyde Park, Luzerne Co, Pa, employ
ed on a coal train, met with similar ac-
cident at Bursons's cut, about a quarter
Of a mile above the Depot. We regret
that amputation was deemed necessary in
both cases.

OF The case against Gen. Mcclellan
has seldom been more tersely summed up
than by gallant Col. Quincy, of the Mas
sachusetts 9th, who declares his belief that
Mcclellan aimed at nothing less than mil
nary dictatorship. The evidence of it is in
ais "atten1pt to uncover Washington in 1862;
his hesitation after Fair Oaks; his attsmpt to
incense his army against his Government :;
his fragrant insult to the President of the
United States; his contempt of orders from
Washington his effort to make himself Sc
Parated from cause, country and Government
the idol of his men; and, above all, his re-
slsal to merge himself in a thorough antago-
1ayna 70 the foe" True, every word Of it.

Bay Is there no admirer of the little
man bold enough to take him out of the
hands of his friends That notorious
and noted statesman, Isaiah Rynders, has,
been saying publicly:
'He knew Mcclellan when he was in
deed Little Mac,-when he was bow,
long before this unholy, unnatural, fool
ish war was even thought OFF, TCheer,. I
Unnatural, unholy, foolish
probably. But 'ohy thus denounce war
that Mcclellan conducted himself for two.
years, and which, as he is now major
general awaiting ORDERS" he might at
any time be called upon to conduct again ?
Abuse the war, if you will, but do not do
so In the interest of a man to whom the
war has been bread and meat and clothes
md lodging and spending money.-P-ess.

The Hon. Philip johnson arrived in
town on Tuesday. Philip carried the
COnferees Of Northampton county, for
Congressional denomination, by one ma
jority, but finding the conferees of Wayne,
Pike, Monroe, and Carbon otherwise in-
structed, feels uneasy in his boots, and
hence his landing among US. lie looks
as though his keeping was good, but it is
evident that his tribulations are many.
and grievous to be borne. We have not
learned that his visit here proved of much
consolation to him.

GB~ The Cincinnati Gazette, one Of
most liberal and prudent newspapers in
the West, speaks of the withdrawal Of
Mr.. Vallandigham from the canvass as a
trick. 1t very justly says:
Having deliberately engaged in the
trick, was the fact that Mcclellan played
lit by the semblance Of Union-war letter
of acceptance reason why Vallandigham
should refuse to play it out? On the
contrary, it was all part of the game
1t was to be peace platform, without
coercion to save the Union in any case
with war candidate, whose manner OF
making war has given the submission
peace party its present strength, and who
would be as dough in the hands of the
Peace Democratic managers. McClel-
lans letter was strictly according to the
programme. So was Vallandigham's af-
fectation of scruples about supporting
Mcclellan. His stump appointments
were probably overruled by the party, for
they know that Vallandigham's public
advocacy would injure the ticket. There
fore, he. made virtue of withdrawing
them. They also encourage the repre-
sentation that he has refused to supportl
the ticket. But they could not drive
him from it if they were to try. 1t is ALL
a part of the grand rascaIity which gang
1f party managers has deliberately
planned to cheat great people out Of
heir political rights by the tricks of the
petty swindler, the thimble-rigger, and
he dishonest gambler"

the Vice Presidency. At the conclusion
of his Speech the meeting adjourned.

a@- This is perhaps the best reason we
have seen assigned for the little mans re-
fusal to abide by the decision of the Con-
Vention that placed him in nomination:
Mcclellan having, at one time in that
life which constitutes his public record,
been connected with railroads, doubtless
came to regard it as dangerous to stand
on the PLATFORM from those signs which
are usually found on the doors of passen-
ger cars"

day last: "The first armistice has been

pT Some ofOur cotemporaries seem to be
expecting letter of acceptance from Mr.
Pendleton, our candidate tor Vice President.
1t has probably slipped their memories that
Mr. Pendleton was informed of his nomina-
ton by the Convention itself, with cheers
and acclamations, and to the Convention re-
piled in person, accepting the nomination,
thus rendering superfuous any mediation on
the part of the committee. We presume
TINS to be the explanation of the fact, if it be
a fact that no correspondence has passed be-
tween the committee and Mr.. Pendleton.-
World
No, sir! The true reason why no formal
tender of the nomination has been made, Lies
just here. Pendleton belives in, and has
lived up to, the doctrines of the Chicago
Convention, and would so declare himself if
the party leaders would give him an oppor-
tunity. This they are afraid to do Hoping
TO deceive the voters into The belief, through
the letter of Little Mac, that they are for
the War for the Union, they hesitate lest
their more honorable candidate for the Vice
Presidency should tear the mask from their
faces by frank avowaI of his sentiments,
and thorough Endorsement of The Copper
head platform, which their chieftain feigns
to repudiate. Such duplicity may go down
with dyed-iu-the-wool Democrats, but the
honest masses will refuse to follow these
treacherous leaders in November -Tri-
bune.

HEA Western Ionral Sna.Lcc1

W Western Joural speaks of Sherman
as the friend of Mcclellan, and takes credit
for the Georgia campaign as an inspiration
OF the little commander. General Sherma n
was under Mcclellan, but that sagac ious
officer found no better business for him than
commanding the barracks at St. Louis.

aGr The rebel General John H. Win
der has at last been removed from the
command of a Georgia prison for inhu-
manity to our prisoners. And yet this
man has been in charge of such prisons
since the war began. General Winder is
one of the misguided Southern brethern
whom it is our duty to ''conciliate."

ns~ We are often surprised to find sc
few Sewing Machines in use, in our sec
ton Of the country. La the large cities
every family has its Sewing Machine
and they would not be without one fol
ten times its cost. 1t is certainly the
most useful and economical invention ol
the age, and we advise our readers to hes
itate no longer, but see to getting one oi
these labor aud life saving Machines
There arc great many kinds of Sewing
Machines, and we have taken some pains
to examine into their respective merits
and we have come to the conclusion that
the Wheeler & Wilson. Highest Premium
Sewing Machine, is decidedly the best.
These unequalled Machines are adapted
to every variety Of sewing for family
wear, from the lightest muslins to the
heaviest cloths. They work equally well
upon silk, linen, woollen, and cotton
goods, with silk, cotton, or linen thread
They Will seam, quilt, gather, hem, fell,
cord, braid, bind, and perform every kind
Of sewing, making beautiful and perfect
stitch, alike on both sides of the article
sewed. The sewing will never unravel
or wash out
The Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Ma
chimes are so simple that a child can
work them with ease. Printed instruc-
tons are sent with every Machine, so that
any one can operate them without any
trouble or difficulty. Every Machine is
warranted, and the money returned if not
entirely satisfactory
Over Fifty Thousand Of the celebrated
Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Machines are
sold every year, and yet the demand is so
great that they can hardly be supplied as
fast as ordered Machines are carefully
packed and sent in good order to any
portion of the country.
We hope our readers will write at once
to the Wheeler & Wilson Agency, No.
7O4 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, and
get one Of their Almanacs for 1865, and
specimens of work done by the Machine,
all of which they will send by mail, free
of charge, to any address. We should
be glad to see an Agency for the Wheel
er Il Wilson Sewing Machine established
in our locality. We know them to be
the best, most simple and cheapest ma
chine in use.

Democratic Hatred Of Spoils.

The Democratic hatred for Office and

PLAYED in this Congressional District
Phil. johnson wants to go to Congress, SO
does Geo Il. Rowland, (our friend George }
so does A. G. Brodhead, of Carbon, so
does Gen. Burnett, and so do others OF
the same political kidney. Just now each
aspirant knows but himself in the con-
test, and as each one is apparently acting
on the principle that "the end justifes
the means" they are having sweet time
among themselves. As things now stand
Northampton gives four votes ford Johnson,
Carbon three for A. c. Brodhead, Mon
roe three for Burnett, Pike two for Row

Carbon, and Wayne three for Burnett ;
and it is said that each Conferee will
stand by his man. But he wont. There
will be cahogling, and voting, and swear
ing, and drinking, and buying, and selling;
and as the Congressional COW has but one
teet, but one will be nominated, while
four will go home sadly riled with the
fact that they have been cheated. And
then there will be more swearing; and
there will be promising and the end will
see them joined as band of brothers
who don't care much more for each other

Mcclellan on Arbitrary Arrests,

1t will be remembered that the Mary
land Legislature was arrested in Septcn,-
Der, 1861, By order Of General McClel.
Ian, because creditabie evidence existed
that it was about to pass an ordinance Of
secession and carry the State out of the
Union. The arrest of the members pre-.
vented this revolutionary step, and doubt
less prevented Maryland from becoming
the theatre of civil war at the outset of
the Rebellion The order of General
Mcclellan was fully justified by the e1i-
gencies Of the occasion; and get the ar
rest Of the Naryland Legislature conti-
tatcS tie most ,rho{csale and ''drGdrary"
Of oil arrests authorized up to the pres
cnt time by IKE Administration or any
gf its agents. The order is as follows;

Headquarters Army of the Potomac,
Washington, Sept. u, 1861.
-Hcj. Gen. n. T. Banks, l.. s. 1rmy:
General: After full consultation with
the President, Secretaries of State, War
&c, it has been decided to effect the opo-
ration proposed for the 18th. Arrange
ments have been made to have Govern
ment steamer at annapolis to receive the
prisoners and carry them to their desti-
nation.
Some four or five of the chief men in
the affair are to be arrested to-day
When they meet on the 18th you will
please have everything prepared TO arrsst
the whole party, and be sure that none
escape.
1t is understood that you arrange with
General Dix and Governor Seward the
modus oPerandi. 1t has been intimated
to me that the meeting might take place
on the l4th; please be prepared I
would be glad to have you advise me frc-
quentIy of your arrangements in regard
to this very important matter.
If it is successfully carried out it will
go far towards breaking the backbone of
the Rebellion. 1t will probably be we'll
to have a special train quietly prepared
to take the prisoners to Annapolis.
L leave this exceedingly important af-
fair to your tact and scretion-and hsYe
but one thing to impress upon you-the
absolute necessity, secrecy and success
With the highest regard | am, my dear
General, your sincere friend,
GEORGE B. MCCLELLAN.
Major General, U. s. Army.
So much for General McClellan's re-
cord on that great bugbear of the Dem
ocracy, "arbitrary arrests" If it was
right and necessary for him to order such
a wholesale arrest as that of the Mary
and Legislature, how comes it that it was
wrong for the Administration to arrest
individuals who were guilty of the same
to the Government.
