One of the Western Heroes,

Rev. DIR. Hosmer, the President of An
tioch College, told the following story
in speech at Syracuse:
"Eyery day in the history class I see
young clergyman who was settled at Yel-
low Springs some years ago. When the
war broke out he raised a company most
ly in his own parish, and marched with.
IT to the field. For brave and meritori-
Gus conduct he was raised to the com
mand of a aregiment. At the end of three
years he came home with his men, rein
listed, and went back to fight out the
battle with.Grant. He was soon promot-
ed to the rank of Brigadier, and il was
bis brigade that broke the enemy's center
in that terrible engagement near Nash
vile, thereby saving the city. When the
coutict ended, the people wanted TO send
General Mcconnell to Congress, but he
would not go; and then they offered to
make him Judge-of Probate, but he would
not take that Office. He said: 4 was a
minister whenI went to the war; / was
a minister while / was in the war, and
mean TO be minister whilst liws.' He
has resumed his work at Yellow Springs,
and every Sunday I sit, with edifcation,
under his direct and earnest preaching.

All men who are not hopelessly blinded by

few journals are keener sighted, declares; in
view of the popular manifestations, that Presi-

of his term, in all contested questions of do

Congress-.

The Union Congressional losses and gains in
the States where elections were held on 9th inst.
are as follows:
LossEs.-Two in New York city, l in Brook
lyn, New York, 2 in Maryland, making total
of five.
GANs.-One in New Jersey, ip Michigan,
in Missouri, three in New York, making
toiai of9-being net gain of4.
In the United States Senate the Unionists
gain four and lose one as follows: We gain
one in place of McDougall in California; one
in the place of Wright in New Jersey; one in
place Of Nesmith in Ohio and one in place OF
Cowan in Pennsylvania We lose one, Cres-
we'll in. Maryland.
In the present Congress the Unionists have
in the U, s. Senate 81 members, the Democrats
10, Johnsonites 8. In the n9xt or fortieth
Congress, the Unionists. haze 40, the Demo-
Gratis, s, Johnsonites 4.
A fair working majority of the next House
of Representatives, II every Southern State
were fully represented, are already elected of
reliable Republican Unionists. This makes it
certain that Andrew johnson will be pretty
tightly tethered to the end Of his term. There
is no possibility of disputed House, for the
reliable Unionists are more than a quorum OF
the whole House. This auspicious result has
been reached fairly, squarely, and without in
timidation or vi dence. 1t is a magnificent vim
dication ofthe Intelligent patriotism of the peo-
pie. The fruit OF such a victory must be peace.

him an opportunity to employ military

The Union majority in the entire state
Sf Illinois, is Just as likely to be over,
as under 1000. This magnificent result
is due in q great measure to the bold
ness of Union men in announcing and
advocating extreme radical measures.
The leading Union presses in the state
arc all outspoken advocates of equal
suffrage; and the Union orators, like
Trumbull, Logan, Bross,, Ingersoh, and
Farnsworth, did not hesitate to proclaim
themselves as adherents of that principle.
Such is ever the case Respect and
success usually follow sbold, confident
advocacy of, principle, while the contra
ry &C urse oftimidity-a trimming, COM
promising course Of policy and expedi-
ency, brings both the cause and its ad-
vocates into ceRtempt, and leaves as its
reward, modification and defeat. Had
this lesson been learned and practiced Up
on, the sins that have made the nation
mourn, would long since have been so
weakened or wiped out as to have saved
thefearful cost that has brought about the
present position ofthings.
PROCLAMATION. We'll, here we have the doc
ument from his Excellancy that is to set us look

feelings of consanguinty and friendship, and
the going out of the soul in gratitude and de-
votion after the living God, are accompani-
ments common to no other occasion. Let the
fattening of the turkies proceed.

TERRIBLE RAILROAD ACCIDENT.-One
of the most terrible railroad accidents
which have ever occurred near this city
took place on the Buffalo and tSErie Rail-
road on Tuesday afternoon about four
o'clock. A gang of workmen had been
employed in repairing the track about
mile east of Wesleyville, and had removed
two rails in so doing. Although fully
aware that the New York Express train
was due, they took no precaution to warn
the train, which came on at a speed of
forty miles per hour, down grade. When
within few rods one of the workmen
ran back and swung his hat, but was Ell
ther unperceived by the engineer, or it
was too late. Tho next moment the en-
gine struck the track, and the engineer,
who took in the situation at the same in
slant, reversed the locomotive. The
train was instantly thrown from the track
down the embankment, distance of some
ten or fifteen feet, breaking some of the
cars into splinters, and piling them, with
the passengers, into confused heap
For tirle the excitement was so great
that very little help was rendered. The
cries of the wounded, and the certainty
that some had been killed outright seemed
to momentarily benumb the faculties of
those who had escaped without injury.
After short time of indecision the pas
sengers who were able, together with the
workmen, applied themselves to the work
of removing the debris, and rcscuing
those who were buried beneath. -Four
dead bodies were takes. from the wreck
three men and child. The child's moth
er was also taken out SO severely injured
that there is no probability of her survi-
wing. Some forty or fifty-perhaps more
were wounded most of them slightly,
