s4- A horrible railroad accident occur
red at Harrisburg on Friday night last,
resulting in the death of U. j. Jones,
Esq, of that city. The Baltimore accom-
modation train is run into the city ahead
of the locomotive, which is attached to the
rear car. On the evening before men
toned, when the train reached the depot,
the body of Mr.. Jones was found beneath
the "cow- catcher" rolled up in an almost
shapeless mass, terribly crushed, and al
mos. beyond recognition. 1t is supposed
that he was upon the track when the train
came in, and that the entire train passed
over him. The ash box of the locom olive
must have killed him, as it was impossi-
BILE for it to have passed over the body
without crushing it. The body could not
be removed until the ow-catcher had
been taken off the locomotive. Mr. Jones
was newspaper man, and well known in
the interior of the State. He possessed
considerable ability as writer, and was
the author of number of books which
attained large circulation. Prominent
among these was his "History of the Ju-
niata Valley" He leaves family.

Resignation of Mcclellan, and
Promotion of Sheridan.

The mooted question as to whether
Maj Gen. George Brinton Mcclellan has
or has not resigned his commission in the
United States army is at length definite
ly determined. We are happy to say it
is determined in the affirmative; and SO
we have an end of the greatest military
humbug of this or any other age. The
order of the President accepting the res
ignation is as follows:
WAR DEPARTMENT, ApJUTANT-GENERAL's s
OFFICE, WASHINGTON, Nov. II, 1854 Gener-
al Orders No. 2S2: /. That the resignation
of George B. Mcclellan, as Major General in
the United States Army, dated November 8,
and received by the Adju.ant General Oh the
10th irst.,. be accepted of the sth of No
vember.
H. That for the personal gallantry, militia
rv skill, and just confidence in the courage
and patriotism OF his troops displayed by
Philip n. Sheridan, on the 10th day OF Octo-
ber, at Cedar Run, whereby, under the bies-
sing of Providence, his routed army was
reorganized, great national disaster averted,
and o brilliant victory achieved over the reb-
els for the third time in pitched battle within
thirty days, Philip II. Sheridan is appointed
Major General in the United States Army, to
rank as such from the sth day of November,
1864.
By order of the President of the United
States. L. d. TOWNSEND,
Assistant Adjutant General.
a most timely and fitting recognition
of the eminent services to the cause of
Union and Freedom of gallant Phil Sher-
idau He has proved himself worthy to
wear the spurs. Tie circumstances lead
ing to his promotion form striking con-
trast indeed to those which conspired to
induce the resignation of his predecessor.
May his future career prove brilliant and
glorious as was his past

OWING to the fact that in the late
elections the Union party came out victori-
Gus, coupled with the fact that said Union
party. is principally composed of bitter
and malevolent spirits, who would not
hesitate (they having the power) to annoy
and injure, and even to immure in bas-
tile, beyond the possibility, or at least the
probability, of earthly aid for long time
to come, their political opponents, Mr..
James Z. Campbell, editor of the Johns
to,cn Democrat-a very Democratic print
he not courting ''martyrdom," has con-
cluded to suspend for an indefinite period
the publication of that paper. The Office
is offered for sale SO that, anybody who
does court "martyrdom" has an opportu-
nifty which may not present itself again
in a lifetime to be accommodated in that
particular.

independence. This was the "peace"
plank in their platform, but this plank,
with the whole reasonable structure, by
the success of Lincoln and johnson, has
"gone to smash" The union or the States
has been preserved, and the question
whether we are hereafter to have whole
country, or be divided off into revolution
airy fragments, prey to military adventu-
rers, and unprincipled despots, is no longer
open to argument. It has eliminated in
6nality.
In Lincoln's reelection is found the
solution of the greatest problem that ever
agitated the public mind, to wit, whether
the American people are prepared to main
tain self government, based upon the
inalienable rights of man. History records
no instance where Republic made up of
states and municipalities, becoming divi-
oed, maintained democratic form of
government any great length of time after
a successful secession or revolution. Such
country almost necessarily becomes a
prey to military despots, and in the end is
sure to be overshadowed by an absolute
monarchy. The only safety to Republics
is i'll maintaining intact the Constitution
and the enforcement of the laws.
The solution of the question just alluded
to involves another no less vital to the life
of republican institutions. We mean the
great principle that underlies all democrat
ic governments, that the majority must rule.
Minorities have great many rights, but
to set up their authority against regular
majority, is not in the bill. This wicked
rebellion was inaugurated by minority
against the majority. To submit to such
monstrous usurpation is an emu of all
government, hence the efforts of The Ad-
ministration to put it down. The people,
after testing this principle in bloody
struggle of four years duration, have again
decided at the ballot-box that the majority
shall rule. The reelection of Lincoln is
notice to the rebels that this great princi-
pie shall be held sacred, and that all who
place themselves in armed antagonism to
it shall be crushed out.
The success of Lincoln, and the conse-
quent defeat of Mcclellan, is a direct
victory over jeff. Davis and his bloody
cohorts in the field, and they so understand
it. And II is not only a victory oper the
confederate armies, but victory for our
own brave, heroic boys in the field, and
they view it in that light. An overwhcl-
ming majority of our soldiers in the field
have declared that voting for Lincoln was
voting as they fought, and that voting for
Mcclellan was fighting one way and voting
directly the other. Such is their idea OF
the matter, and no man can successfully
controvert the point. We close, as we
commenced, by declaring our honest opin.
ion, that the reelection of Abraham
Lincoln is the death blow of the rebellion
and we most cheerfully submit our humble
judgment in the premises. to the scrutiny
and test of coming events.

The New AbOu Ben-Adam.

Mikel Tub Hasson (may his tribe be curst y
Awoke one night from sleeping off a 'burst,"
And saw within the confines of his den,
Making it light and lurid to the ken,
demon scribbling in book of brass:
Exceeding rum had made Tub Hasson an ass,
And to the demon he said, 'twixt doubt and
fear,
"What writest thou?p The demon scratched
his ear,
And answered, in a tone quite civil,
"The names of those elected by The Devil"
"And is mine one?" quoth Mikel. s'Not just
yet,"
Replied the demon. Mikel spake with pet,
AS though debased in sight of self and men,
Write me a sunna vabitch and slanderer,
then"
The demon wrote and mizzled. The next
night
He came again-this time with book ell
right
And showed the names loved of The Devil
most,
And 10 Tub. Hasson's name led all the host.

About The Cabinet.

We have reason to believe that the re-
ports OF immediate changes In the present
Cabinet, and concerning the composition Of
the new one, are purely speculative. The
rumored succession of DIR. Walker to the
Treasury Department no doubt rests upon
something better; but as to the rest, we
are convinced there is no other foundation
than guess work, and the wishes of some
friends Of the gentlemen whose names are
used.
Mr.. Lincoln has way of keeping his
plans. to himself, and doing things very
much IN his own way. While we may
safely say he will from the 4th of March
next have a new Cabinet throughout, it
will be composed not wholly of men new
to him, but of those of whom he has some
practical knowledge in connection with
the grave concerns that will engage their
attention.
Probably no man has learned more du-
ring the last three and three-quarter years
than Mr. Lincoln. Probably no man has
| realized more fully the mistakes he COM
mitted in making up his Cabinet; and with
his almost unerring good sense he will be
likely to avoid making those mistakes a
SeCODu ClHes lOI hC 10
under no peculiar obligations either to
particular regions of country or classes of
men; but in this respect is free to look for
ability wherever he can find it in harmony
with the policy the election has settled.
Popular favofftes do not always make
good cabinet ministers on the contrary,
it is not difficult to see how they might
sometimes proyevery poor ones. Discord,
whether from personal ambition, imprac-
ticable cast of mind, or other cause, is to
be avoided above all things next to down
right incapacity. Great executive ability
is not unfrequently allied with qualities
destructive of usefulness, and fondness
for power and leadership is quite likely to
be backed by iuordina.e personal ambi-
ton.
Of these things Mr.. Lincoln, whose
experience has taught him the value of
harmony, will be quite sure to do his best
to steer clear. We have no idea that he
has, made up his mind as to more than
one<ef his future cabinet. He goes slow
and sure, aud is not prone to commune
cate the progress he makes in his own
mind
In the meantime, the speculations with
which the public is regaled are pleasant
reading. 1t is sort of commodity for
which there is sharp demand, and there
are enough whose business it is to furnish
more than the requisite supply.

JOSH Billings ON THE DRAFT. Josh
Billings is out with an "6fiicial" on the draft
question. Says he
Wideer winmin, and there only son, Is
xempt, provided the widder's husband has al
ready served 2 yeres In the war, and is willing
10 go in agin; bleve the Supreme Corte has
decided this thing forever.
Once more: IL man should run away with
his draft, he probably wouldn't be allowed to
stand the draft agin; this luks sevear at fust
site, but the moar yn lux at it, tho more yu
can see the wisdom into it.
Once moarly: Xempts are those who hev
been drafted into the Staff prizzen fur trying
to get an honnist Twin BY supporting wives
tn onct; also, all of them peepil who are
crazee. and unsound on the goose; also, all
nuspaper correspondents and tools in general.
3 Once moarly agin: No substitute will be ac-
kceptid who is less than three or moar than
ten feet high; be must know how to chaw to-
hacker and drink poore whskee, and mustn't
be afeerd of the ich nor the rebels. Moral
eharackter amt required, as the government
furnishes that aud Iashuns.
Conclusively: A person cannot be drafted
moar than twice in two places without his con
sent but all men has right to be drafted at
least onct. ] don't think even a writ of ba-
beas corpus can deprive man OF this last
blessid privilege.

distress the dear little birds. One day, after
she had been away some time, down she ran

there were only broken, empty shells.

beautiful eggs are all spoiled aud broken"
"No, Julia" replied her brother, "they are
not spoiled; the best part of them has taken
wings and flown away"
So it is when child dies; its little body
left behind is only an empty shell, while its
soul, the better part, has taken wings and
flown away.
