ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION.

AlIEmf1ED ASSASSINATION.
PARIS, June GA cowardly attempt
was made this afternoon to assassinate the
Emperor of Russia while driving back
from the grand review with the Emperor
Napoleon. In the Imperial carriage at
the time were the Car, his two sons, and
the Emperor of France.
The attempt was made while they were
returning through the Bois de Boulogne.
y young man, about twenty years Of age,
fired a pistol at the Gar. 1t would seem
that the pistol was Ov, rloaded, and eXplo-
ded, woumding the hand Of the assassin.
1t is said u bystander threw up the arm
of the wretch a. he fired the pistol, and
that he was instantly cut down by the
escort, and made prisoner, severely
wounded.
The Imperial carriage passed on without
halting. 1t is supposed the villain is
Pole, for just previous TO the attempt cries
of - JiCc Ia P0iOgac !n were heard. The
Imperial party escaped injury. \ thous-
and ramurS are III circulation, and there
i great excitement in Paris. No further
facts are positively known than the at
tempted assassination. the escape of the
Gar and the seizure of the assassin.
The Gar will receive universal c0ngrat-
ulat;uns. This is his second escape from
assassination.

Terrific Explosion OF "a Steam
E1iieF---szP E0SS of Life,

y most appalling accident occurred on
Thursday afternoon, between five and six
O'Clock, by the explosion Of a astcam-b0iler
in a large tive-stOry building in the rear
of SAMSON Street, between Tenth and
Eleventh, Philadelphia. The building
was reduced 10 a heap of ruins in less than
a minute, burying from thirty to thirty
five wOrllmcn.
1t seems that the engine wanted pack
ing, and several men were sent from the
nachine-shop Of Mr. VIM. T. king, i'm
mcdiately opposite, to do the work. They
accomplished this in about one hour and
half, and then retired. IN about five
minutes after the explosion occurred. The
engineer had started the engine, and turn
ed the water on to supply the boiler This
caused the explosion.
Upon examining the premises, it seems
that the north foundation wall was forced
from its position by the boiler; hence the
crumbing Of the walls. The iOist that
supported each floor fell uniformly, but
the other material, bricks, boards. bench
cs, and unfinished work, fell in between
them III one dense mass of shapeless mat
ter. The scene is described as appalling
in the greatest degree. The near residents
after recovering from the terrible shock,
rushed TO the Rescue. The piercing shrieks
OF the unfortunate men buried near the
surface OF the ruins, the stifed groans of
others still further down, We're truly
heartrending and appalling, and fairly
paralyzing in their effects.
Presently, amid all this destruction of
matter and combustible material, smoke
was seen curling out from the top of the
pile. The forge used by Messrs. Miller
Il Reeder had fired the rubbish. Now il
was that the shrieks of the doomed men
were more terrible than ever The fire
men were speedily in attendance, and la
bored with hcrculean strength to rescue
the untortunates, and one or two were got
out. But the flames increased fearfullv.
and nothing could be done to save the
buried ahd halt-sti1lcd men.
Besides danger of suffocation. a more
horrible death encroached upon them,
that of fire or scalding water, for il was
necessary for the tiremen to apply the wa
ter to prevent Il more general destruction.
In a short time the entire pile of rubbish.
with its twenty-five or thirty bodies, was
one mass of fire. The probability is that
some of the bodies were entirely DESTROY
ed those got from the ruins could not he
Identified except from clothing.
The machine shop of w. II. King was
used as the reception room of the charrcd
remains of the unfortunate men. A min
gled mass of hcadless trunks-frunke
without arms or legs, were piled uD there
in one hideous mass. The agony of sur
viving wives, sisters, and other relatives
may he imagined but not well described

The Democrat on Projection.

We have no objection to the Democrat
republishing the Free Trade articles of
the \. Y. Evening Post. That paper has
always been a free trade advocate, first as
democratic organ, next abolition, and
more recently as republican, but by 10
means represents the republican party of
this and many other States, which COM
prises a vast body of men who believe pro
lection to American Industry alone can
protect the wages of laboring men, and
prevent them from becoming mere serfs.
as they are in Great Britain and other
European Kingdoms. Neither the Posts
northe Democrats logic can efface one ma
tcrjat fact, to wit, that while the great
body of republicans are in favor of ade-
quate protection, SO that the development
of our iron and other ores can be carried
on with remuneratiYe labor to the work
ingman, the patent democracy has, since
the days of Polk and Dallas, advocated a
system which fostered foreign products at
the expense of home labor. Take iron
and steel for examples: If, the Democrat
would say, British capitalists who pay
from % to 20 cents per day for labor, can
furnish iron and steel in this county for
less than Glamorgan can furnish the for
mer, or Freedom the latter, do not pro-
teot them by sufficient duty, but use
British iron because it is the cheapest.
Such doctrine must inevitably result in
one of two things-either those compa-
nies would have to stop work, and thus
render all the ore banks in this county a.
valueless as they were some years ago, or
the wages of all labor connected with
mining and smelling ores would have to
come down to correspond with British
labor-a labor which knows little ofwheat
bread and meats as food.
One thing in connection with these
subjects is certain, the owners ofore banks,
furnaces, forges, &c. in this region,
will never owe their development and
prosperity to the patent democratic party

There's JefFy Davis raised a war
Against our happy Nation,
But after he was gobbled up

He lived IN splendor Ike prince,
While honest folks were dying
The ,Cldotos he had helped to make,
For bTedd were daily crying.
And while he reigncd as President
Ger all thus tieuting riSiOH,
He starved our soldiers on Belle Isle
And IN the Libby prison.
And over this falr land Of ours,
Where ALL once lived like brothers,
He scattered dcSulation wide,
And murdered wives and mothers.
In horrid dens, and Southern pens
Our men were daily dying,
And from their Southern graves TODAY
Their blood - loudly crying.
Oh may that cry his spirit haunt
No matter where he wunders,
May ghastiy corpses, lean aud gaunt,
Invade his nightly umbers.
Oh may his soul forever dioeH
With friends aud devils clever;
Oh may the dGrkCst pits OF hell
BE heS abode Jorcuer.
And may the winds, in fitfuI gusts,
In fury, sul increasing,
Blow ashes IN his rebel eyes
Forever, without ceasing.
And noY parting wish we give
They've AL been given freely
We hope when Jefiy gets to hell
He'll meet with H G-y.
