SPECIAL NOTICES.

ERIE RAILWAY.-In our columns to-
day win be found the new Time Table OF
this road, whiel. took effect on the 18th inst.
Several important changes have been made
with which all our readers should become
familiarized, The Erie Railway has long
held leading position in the great chain of
roads uniting the West with the East which
is not alone attributable to the superior &c
commodatiOns afforded passengers, the uni
form eivility of its officers and agents, the
grandeur and sublimity of the section of
country which it traverses, but to the great
vigilance exercised in the running of trains
and providing against accidents.
Despite the closest scrutiny and circum-
spection, however, all great and important
thoroughfares are liable to accidents. In
the case of the recent accident near Carr's
Rock, no human preseience could have avert
ed the sad catastrophe For four years prior
to its occurrence not a single passenger was
injured on this road; and it is generally adj
nitted that no Line went into the past win
ter in better condition, in all respects than
the Erie; but unusually long and severe
was tuC budt tue tlOH III SOliiS PAL Is
of the road yielded to its rigid severity
Yet al this time the road is in as perfect a
condition, as the average of those in the
country. To render it safe beyond a ques-
ton however, the company is substituting
steel rails as fast as pc ssible for the defec-
tive iron ones; laying a double track on the
Delaware division, and doing everything 10
place the road in the most thorough condi-
ton. The s. 100000 which the Company
recently came into the possession of will en-
able all of these improvements to be made.
As showing one of the most prominent
achievements already secured by the work
which is being pushed rapidly forward, We
might mention the fact that the trains at
present experience no detention, but arrive
at New York and the principal Eastern cit
les at the same hour as rival lines
The Erie continues to issue through tick
cts to New York at s. 45 less than any other
route-a fact which our readers will do well
to bear in mind, when visiting the East
either on business or for pleasure

ANOTHER REVOLUTION. Under this rather startling
head the stad and cautious Journal of Commerce thus
speaks It looks if the zeal of those who
for party supremacy than the most vital interests of
the country and who would rather ruin the land We
love than resign their rule overit about to plunge
them headong into course that must end in revolu-
tion Those who have hitherto been the most hope
full are now gloomy and despondent for madness seems
to rule the hour, and the folly of legislators ap
pears to be without restraint. If the country must
pass through the fire before peace and unity can be
restored perhaps it may as well come ever.

of patronage and power. Had he accepted the Radi-
cal offers he might be to-day ore Of the most absolute
desnots on Garth 1t required little honesty and
patiotsm to oppose triumphant majority in Congress
instead Of siding with it when if be had done so, he
might have become its idol. Congress would have
made him an emperor but he has sieadlastly declined
