sSgn The Democracy Of Luzerne county
are already discussing the merits Of candi-
dates for the State Senatorship. Friend
Adams of the Scranton Democrat has named
several who he thinks would do honor to the
position, and represent upper end' inter
estS faithfully, but these are all home bodies
names unknown to the Democracy of
Monroe and Pike Do the political cormor-
ants of Luzerne think our Democracy are
merely tackled on as a sort Of ornamental
tassel 10 the bob Of their kite. Our Demo
cracy don't care much, personally about the
Sonatorship, but there are some twenty or
thirty patriots in the two lower counties, who
stand ready to sacrifice any amount of per-
sonal comfort for the honor Of the thing.
They think that if Monroe and Pike were
necessary to hold Luzerne secure against
she Vaccinations of the black Republicans,
and Of the corrupt ring which rules the
Democratic conventions il the land Of coal.
and political trimmers, it is just as neces-
sary, and a little more SO, that the faithful,
wiling servitors Of Monroe and Pike should
be paid for their work by liberal share of
the spoils. Our Democracy, being modest
IN their way, are somewhat timid about
speaking out their sentiments on the subject,
but we can assure our Democratic friends of
Luzerne, that, il what we say in this regard.
We certainly speak by authority.
Our Democracy have already appointed a
committee to talk about the matter, and we
presume that little Pike will soon follow
ruit.

This section of country is rapidly filing
up with strangers, from the cities, in quest

which we send them home filed chuck full

Infant DepraVity.

The Quitmau (Ga) Banner tells how
'infants drowned bady," in the follow,
ing manner: "a horrible affair occurred
on a plantation six miles west of Quit
man, on last Friday, by which colored
infant, eighteen months old lost her life
The infant aforesaid was left at the cabin
in charge of an older sister, some FIVE
years of age, whilst the mother went to
work in ne g boring field. Soon after
the departure Of the mother, two colored
children, aged about six and eight years,
from another cabin on the same planta-
ton, put in an appearance and desired the
little nurse to accompany them in quest
of black berries. She told them she could
not leave the baby, but that if they (the
visitors) would take her CHE baby) to the
well, and drown her, she would 20 with
them. They instantly seized the child
one taking hold of its head and the other
its feet, carried it to the well and gleeful-
ly cast it in. The mother soon after re-
ceived intelligence of the affair. but be-
fore she could extricate the child from the
water life was extinct. The children
were arrested, but Immediately discbarg
ed, as it was evident, from the youth,
they were not legally responsible for the
serious crime committed"

Serious Accident on the Lehigh and Sus
quehanna Railroad.

On Tuesday morning last serious col
lision occurred, short distance below
Allentown, on the Lehigh and Susque-
hanna Railroad, through the negligence
or carelessness of some of the employees
of the road, by which some eight or ten
persons were rather seriously hurt.
1t appears that freight train was en-
gagged in switching off or "drilling in"
cars, from the main track to sideling, on
the time OF the passenger train, which
leaves here at 1:45 10 the morning. The
conductor Of the freight train alleges that
be sent fagman down the road to warn
the passenger train, but whether he did
or not it does not seem to have been seen
by the engineer of that train, for he came
on at the usual speed, and as a cure pre-.
vented him from seeing the freight train
he dashed against it with such terrible
force as to send the teader of his engine
almost through the baggage and smoking
car, thereby iujuring every person in it.
The following is list of the wounded ::
Mr.. G. w. Wilhelm, Mr.. Cannon aud
Mr.. Wm. Chapman, of Bethlehem, were
slightly injured; Mr.. John Miller, of
Bethlehem, had leg broken, and ankle
dislocated. Mr., H. e. Wolfe, of Eastou,
had three ribs broken, and was otherwise
bruised about the head aud limbs.
j. Hamp Ward, engineer, and Erwin
Hill, fireman. on the passenger locomo-
tive, were both severly injured. They
were brought to their homes, in Snuff.
town, the same afternoon, in charge OF
DR.. Cavanaush, who is of the opinion
that their lives may be saved, notwith
standing the severity of their injuries.
Mr.. Wolfe was brought to Easton on
the noon train. Under the care of DR..
Fields, he is quite comfortable, although
experiencing much pain.
So many terrible accidents are caused
on railroads by the negligence of en-
ployees that law provided for their
punishment, more strict than any on our
statute books, should be enacted.

Quite party of Picknickers, principally
strangers, made an excursion to Marshall S
Falls on Friday last. A good time generally
was being had until rumbling thunder and
threatening clouds admonished the partici-
pants that it was time to HE towards home
They came into town amid drenching
shower of rain, but appeared to enjoy the
novelty of the thing amasingly AS the
water rushed down, the flow of spirits ap-
peared to rush up, and all was fun.

Gap, were treated in like manner by the
Clerk of the weather, but Notwithstanding
his lack of gallantry the trip and short So

No. $40 WALNUT ST. PHILADELPHIA,
July 80, 1864.

To L. Thomas, Adjutant General .. S. A.,
SIR: have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of communication from the
Secretary Of War, date the 2lst instant
informing me of my promotion to the posi-
tion of Brigadier General of volunteers
This appointment decline to accept. In
order that my motives for SO doing may
be clearly understood, 1 will state that
when those who administer this Govern
meut readopt the original intention of
prosecuting this war for the restoration of
the Union, | together with hundreds of
officers and thousands of men-at present
out of srvice-will be found ready and
willing to return. Until such time, l
consider the post cfhOnor to be the priUate
station VIM. MCCANDLEss.
This letter appeared very brave and
defiant, at the time, and we remember
how the copperheads applauded the act !;
but it bears an entirely different aspect
now. The Democrats desire to impress
upon the soldiers, the idea that McCand
less was a gallant soldier and staunch
patriot during the war. Now, there is
one question which we consider to the
point, on which we desire the soldiers to
ponder and Democratic editors to answer,
viz: What acoutd hare become of the
country, had aUthe o6icers an the Union
army been such patriots O. as Nc Cdnd
less, and resigned IN 1864 as he lid i?
Because the Government did not prosecute
the war to save slavery, McCaudless was
willing to see the Union destroyed. He
considered the "private station the post
of honor" The voters of Pennsylvania
are perfectly willing that he shall cou-
tinue to think so. A man who deserted
the Republic at the most critical moment
of her life, should not be permitted to
serve the State in time of peace.

McCANDLESS AS A PATRIOT.

There has been much said by Demo
cratic newspapers of the inestimable"
services rendered to his country by Gen.
VIM. McCandless, the present Democratic
candidate for Auditor General. We have
10 desire to discuss or criticise the man
for his services rendered while in the
army, but there is a point in his military
career which is public property, and the
valiant General made it such himself
We have heretofore referred to McCand-
less insolent rejection of a commission as
Brigadier General, rendered him in 1861
His letter declining said commission has
been unearthed, and We produce it. Here
it is:
