Mr.. Forrest has seen his best days, and like

disturbance in the country grew not out of
anything republican, bat out ofslavery, which
is u part of the system Of hereditary wrong,
and the expulsion of this domestic anomaly
opens to the renovated nation . career Of un-
thought of dignity and glory. Henceforth our
country has moral unity - the land of free
labor. The party for slavery and the party
against slavery are no more, and are merged
in the party Of the Union and freedom. The
States which would have left us are not
brought back as conquered States, for
then we should hold them only so long as
that conquest could be maintained. They
come to their rightful place under the Consti-
tuition ~ original, necessary and inseparable
members of the State. We build monuments
to the dead, but no monuments of victory.
We respect the example of the Romans who
never, even in conquered lands, raised the
emblem of triumph. and our Generals are not
Aclassed in herd Of the vulgar3 3conquerors, but
are of the school of Timoleon and William
Of Orange and Washington. They have used
the sword only to give peace to their country,
and restore her to her place in the great
assembly of nations. Our meeting closes in
hope, now that people begins to live accord
ing to the laws OF reason, and republicanism
is intrenched in a Continent.

Treasure Discovered--ACu Curious
St0ry.

A correspondent of the Waynesburg PA.
Republican, who gives the following account
of q strange discovery made near Waynesburg
a short time since, vouches for its truth.
''Some time since as Surveyor j. L. McCon-
nell WAS passing down Smith Creek, about
one mile from town, his attention was arrest
ed by some characters On q stone at the road
side. Upon close examination he found
that the inscription on the stone was as fol-
lows. Due east, "a g. Studying a while
over the matter he came to the conclusion
that due east a certain distance to be repre-
sented by the figures "a g., there was some
thing curious. So6xing his compass on the
spot, he measured the exact distance of 2
rods, feet and 6 inches. Striking his com
pass staff in the ground he ascertained tha.
underneath was metallic substance OF sone
kind. Renorng the earth for few fee,

iron box-and what was more surprising he
found on opening it that it was filled With sill

stone which had first arrested his attention
on TURNING it over he found inscribed on the
other side as follows: Due west 46' Sup

[From the New York Post, Feb. 81

A shocking disaster occurred shortly before
eight clock this morning on the Bloomfield
Newark railroad, at o bridge near Bloom
field. The lives Of from eight to one hundred
persons who were on the train were imperiled
| and that only one passenger was killed out
right is one Of the unaccountable facts con-
nected with this affair.
The particulars of the occurrence, which we
give upon excellent authority, show that in
the catalogue Of railroad disasters it has few
parallels. The bridge where it took place was
about three hundred yards above Bloomfield,
and was so old and "shaky' that the pessen-
gers have feared that it would 60 down; and
month ago, it is stated, the engineers
Of the road complained 10 the company in re-
gard to it.
The grade of the road beyond Bloomfield Is
descending, the inclination being about nine
ty feet to the mile. The speed Of the train,
partly on account of the ice on the track, was
comparatively high; though the engineer was
breaking up for the purpose of stopping at
Bloomfield When the engine, which was
very heavy one, went on the bridge, the wood
work began TO break. but the speed
of the train carried the engineer safely
over The tender was caught and injured
somewhat. A passengercar came next The
bridge sunk under it, and the car trucks.
with the wheels, parte i from their iastenings
and fell. By the swift motion of the train AID
by the coupling iron of the tender, the front
of the car was carried to the track at the end
of the bridge. In this manner he was safely
dragged on solid groupd. Scarcely person
in this car was injureA
The second passenger Car was shattered
and hurled cndwise from the line of track.
As it passed upon the falling bridge, the end
of i; was sufficiently depressed to strike the
stone abutment of the bridge. The first effect
was the crashing Of the car; but the car be-
hind it, which was the smoking and baggage
car did not pass through il, and the situation
OF the train vas such, the bridge being no,
more than forty feet long, that the rear end
Of the car that strck the abutment was carried
over sideways, and So the passengers of whom
there were but few escaped with their lives,
with the exception OF one, ayoung man named
Milton Holt, of Montclair. who was instantly
| killed. His head was nearly severed from
his body, and the remains were terribly
| mangled. Afterward, when his body was
dragged out of the wreck, it was mistaken for
that of his brother, Henry Holt, who was
| thought to be on the train. The car in which
he was, is entirely wrecked, apd the escape OF
any person is regarded as little less than mi
raculouS.
