The Unton characterizes the act of the op- position majority, yesterday, in expelling the Hon. Mr. Allen from his seat, as simply an ef- fort to strengthen the chance of Fremont to reach the Presidency. The same paper ex- plains that those who are supporting Fromont under the notion that something may be made for themselves out of his ownership of the Mariposa grant, in case of his election, are throwing away their labors. The Intelligencer says of the current Sena- torial propositions to amend the patent laws: “ The subject of Patents for Useful Inven- tions is one of growing interest in this country, and the inventive genius of our countrymen has even made an impression in the Old World, from which quarter high honors have been awarded. Mr. James, of Rhode Island, in- troduced into the Senate, some time ago, from the Committee on Patents, a bill which at- tracted a good deal of attention. It has not = eome up for final consideration, but Mr. ward, on Thursday, introduced a substi- tute for it, which deserves notice. It omits, as we learn, the radical provisions of Mr James's bill which relate to the extension of patents, the review of decisions of the Com- missioner in granting patents by seire facias, &c., and confines itself to certain amendments to relieve the Patent Office of much heavy labor, and expedite tne transaction of the patent business therein. Inventors will sean al] these movements with a close refer- ence to their own interests, and the public at large have an interest in them scacely less = That the subject is one of great easy is evinced by the est debates which have occurred within a few days past in regard to reaping machines.”” qe. ____ WASHINGTON NEWS AND GossIP Central America —Our columns have been 80 overwhelmed with domestic matters of late as to have prevented us from bestowing upon the last advices from Nicaragua, even a pass- ing notice. The substance of the news is, that, on the 12th ultimo, Rivas and the nsa- tives of his cabinet with a single exception, availed themselves of an opportun'ty to es- cape from Walker’s clutches. Think of it—a President running away from his own Gov- ernment, and setting up another in opposition toit! That thing Rivas and his cabinet did on the 12th ultimo. Whereupon Walker pro- claimed him a traitor! Now these facts com- pletely bear out our persistent representations that the Presidency of Rivas was little more than a forced blind to disguise the fact that Walker was the supreme dictator of Nicar- agua, by virtue of the rifles, revolvers and bowie knives of his fillibuaters. The humbug of the connection of Rivas and a handful of natives with Walker’s fortunes has now come toan end, and he stands countenanced and supported there only by adventurers who flock to him from thiscountry. The solution of the question, how much longer he can maintain his position?—rests wholly with the previous solution of the question, how many more thou- sands from the United States will rush to Nicaragua to die of the black vomit and cholers?—and how many more fools there are among us to advance money on Walker's magnificent promises to pay, with which to keep him supplied with clothing, arms and ammunition? We presume that at least six or seven thousand persons in all from the United States, have joined his army. Perhaps fifty have managed to return to this country, nearly every man of them with ruined consti- tutions. He has, perhaps, a thousand remain- ing, who are half starved and not half clothed, asall his troops have been from the beginning The rest have gone—the way of all fiesh; a few comparatively dying by violence (on the field of battle and in private squabbles among themselves,) while the rest of his other dead have fallen victims to the climate and diseases of the country. Who wantsto go next! Mr. Burwell’s Letter.—The reasons im- pelling Wm. M. Burwell, Esq., late the editor of the Washington Organ, to withdraw from the Know Nothing party, must fall with con- vincing force on the minds of all opposition men in the South who have not made up their minds to be used really to aid the election of Fremont under the pretence of supporting Fillmore. We quote his letter in question as follows, viz : “* The first national action of the party en- couraged the hope that it would realise this patriotic expectation. It announced in June, 1855, that it would maintain the existing leg- islation upon the subject of slavery as a set- tlement of the question. Under this declara- tion some thirty-three members of Congress were elected by the American party in the alain: Tike ‘ ‘InFebruary, , this policy was changed. The pledge to maintain fuiniog legislation bstituted by a creed in which not onl: bject, but the name of slavery is aan ‘© guarantee for the admis- slave States, i the declaration of 1855, s Speed Md ticle which recognizes the right oO i- zens of a territory “to frame te a stitution and laws, and to regulate t! own domestic and social affairs in their own mode sub: only to’’ —, the Wilmot Proviso, or to “ P ions of the Federal Constitatior,” which last phrase, under the interpretation of the dominant majority in Congress, means preeisely the same thing. With this tion, the “ pledge’’ of admission into t! is granted to the territorial State whenever it “shall have the requisite Population for one representative in Con, d _ ‘At the same time, and upon the same prin- ciples of neut: ity, the American party nom- inated for its can, idate a gentleman of integ- rity and patriotism, but did not require him to say whether be would, ifelected, veto a bill re- si the Soesgemr ne restriction or repealin 088 bs soar who have regarde in doubt have tric- nion ¢ Prominent of ¢! acts, we encounter insurmountable difficulties of construction. The friends of the Kansas act contend that it is a legitimate deduction from the compromise of 1850, but thousands Ihe: advocated that compromise assert that the Kansas act isa flagrant violation of that apes If the inference that the Kansas oovle sulted from the compromise is ine eh “i there could be no controversy upon the aaager But there is a radical Dap ieorioan subject, therefore the position of Aina cad nominee upon this question is dou! Joie = those who are disposed to supra oe iy without impugning his integrity, ask his con- struction upon the consistenc, of the Kansas act with the Compromise of 1850, and whether it is his pur to maintainor repeal it Un- tilsome such declaration shall be made, the Americans at the South are wholly without rance against the continued agitation of a aie rous question, or of havi: rights, deem- ed ty them invaluable, surrendered by the act of their own representatives. “The issue upon which parties have organ- ised for the ensuing campaign is: ‘Shall any more Slave States ts admitted in the Union?”’ “Foremost and most formidable in this con- test stands the Black Republican party, a dangerous compound of fanaticiem and polit- cal cupidity. It is numerous and of powerful resources ; it is led by ambitious and saga- cious men ; it intends to employ the numbers of the North to subjugate the South and go ern the country. Its material of warfare cor- sist in impeaching the title of your Property, defaming your character and combining the most despotic and lawless influences in a cru- sade against you. Its plan of warfare is to cut off the supplies and communications of slavery, to invest its citadel and to send ina flag inscribed, ‘‘ Assault or unconditional surrender.” “The Democratic p: has been, by force of circumstances, placed 'n direct an nism to this aa It stands not only pledged, but committed beyond ea wd of recantation or withdrawal, to main‘ your rights as politi- cal equals in this confedracy. - With my opinions, neutrality would be at this important crisis little better than treason. 1 shall therefore vote for the Democratic can- didate at the ensuing Presidential election, because that isthe only committed to assert the rights of the South, and because the opinions avowed by that party upon the subject of slavery represent my own.’’ The Very Last.—Bennett’s Herald is suf- fering almost the torments of the d—d, on ac- count of the shabby manner in which (it says) the friends of Pierce, Douglas, and Cass are treating James Buchanan—plotting, accord- ing to this devoted advocate of the election of the Democratic nominee, to secure the elec- tion of John C. Breckinridge by the Senate to the Presideney. The truth is, that gimlet-eye of Bonnett’s sees about twice as far through a millstone as an ordinary eye; which accounts for his discovery of this terrible plot against the election of the candidate about whose tri- umph he has suddenly become s0 very solicit- ous. Ithappens, unfortunately for the theory of this last quizzical mare’s nest of his, that the friends of Pierce, Dougias, and Cass do not intend to let the Presidential election question enter either House of Congress. If he (Bennett) could for an hour peer with his gimlet-eye into the correspondence received at this point by the friends of the three distin- guished gentlemen named above, his earnest solicitude least Buchanan should be cheated by his own household would vanish; for he could not fail to discover that the Democratic Presidential nominee stands no chance what- ever to be in the situation in which, according to Bennett, he is to be cheated. That is, he can never be a candidate before the House,— insomuch as the fourth day (Tuesday) of No- vember will consign him, directly, to the Pres- idency, with a majority of electoral votes larger than the aggregate united electoral votes received by both his competitors. Mr. Burlingame.—We owe it to this gen- tleman to publish the following appendix, which we find at the end the last speech de- livered by Mr. Brooks, of South Carolina, be- cause, in commenting on that of Mr. Keitt, we were under the erroneous idea that he had refused to admit his personal reeponsibility for personalities spoken in debate. Appenpix.—The imprudence of evil-dis- posed persons, who, by newspaper articles and in private conversations, have done injustice both to the Hon Mr. Burlingame and myself, renders it necessary that the subjoined memo- randa should be ry gear to my speech : Mr. Burlingame, in a fair and manly way, admitted his responsibility for any language used in his speech, and disclaiming any in- tention to reflect upon the personal character of Mr. Brooks or to impute to him in any re- spect a want of courage; but, discriminating between the man and the act to which he was called upon to allude, he had characterized tke latter only in such manner as his repre- sentative duty required him to do. The above is a statement made by Mr. Bur- lingame in reference to the passage in his late speech, which referred to Mr. Brooks. It is in the hand writing of Mr. Speaker Banks and was acknowledged by Mr. Burlingame in our preserce, and was satisfactory to us as friends of Mr. Brooks. W.W Borcs. July 15, 1856. Ta. 8. Becock. Cruel.—The failure of the House to install Mr. Archer in the seat of Mr. Allen, of Iili- nois. It has spoiled a very pretty intrigue, indeed ; one to secure the vote of Illinois for Fremont in the remote contingency-that the Presidential clection may come to the House. Mr. Thurlow Weed, with his particular staff of back bone doctors, were among us during the last contest over this subject matter, laboring like good fellows to carry the Republican par- ty point. But, alas, Dr. Greeley was absent; so their patient died yesterday. Back bone liniment is, to-day, decidedly at » discount, with sueh physicians only to administer it. Confirmed.—We are of impression that yes- terday afternoon the President sent to the Senate the nominations of John Forsyth, of Alabama, to be Minister to Mexico, and Wm. Ferne, of the same State, to be his Secretary of Legation, and that they were confirmed ere the Senate adjourned. If not, there can be no doubt of their confirmation. P.S. The Senate have not yet acted on these nominations. Confirmed —Anselim Arnold, of Nebraska Territery, to be Agent fer the Shawnee and Wyandott Indians, in the place of Wm. Gay, deceased. John A Ashton, of South Carolina, to be Agent for the Indians of the agency for the Ottoes and Missiourias. John B. Robertson, of Nebraska Territory, to be Agent of the Indians of Omaha Territory.

In the Senate, yesterday, after we went to press, the bill for the relief of Obed Hussey was discussed by many Senators until, with- out taking the question on its passage, they went into Executive session. At the termina- tion of their Executive session they trans- acted some business of no general interest, and then they adjourned until Monday. In the House, at the conclusion of the speech of Mr. Wm. B. Archer, the contestant in the Illinois election case, Mr. Washburne, of Me., delivered a speech in favor of that gentle- man’s claim. The question was then put on the following resolution, reported by Mr. W. from the Hileo- tions Committee : ; Resolved, That James C. Allen was not elected and is not entitled toa seat in this Miigreed WiiiyhGiFal, sage 00 yeas 94, nays 90. . The question was also put on the following resolution, reported from the same committee : Resolved, That William B. Archer was elected and is entitled to a seat in this House. Rojected—yeas 89, nays 91. Mr. Clingman moved to reconsider that vote, and to lay the motion to reconsider on the table. Mr Campbell of Ohio, demanded the yeas and nays on that motion; ordered—yeas 90, nays 90—the Speaker voted in the negative The question being on the motion to re- consider; it was not reconsidered—yeas 91, nays 95. tr. Stephens of Georgia, submitted the fol- lowing preamble and resolutions. Whereas this House having declared that neither James C. Allen nor liam B. Arch- er is entitled seat on the floor from the seventh Congressional district of Illinois: _ Be tt resolved, That in the judgment of this House, 3 vacancy exists in said district, and that the election which was contested in this House therefrom be referred back to the peo- ple of the district, and that the Speaker of this House notify the Governor of that State of this resolution of this House. Resolved, That the Clerk of this House be directed to pay to William B. Archer, of Illi- nois, claiming to have been elected to this House from the seventh Congressional district in that State, his mileage and per diem to this date. These resolutions Aerie, bese agreed to by separate votes, shortly rwards they ad- journed. Preceedings of Te-Day. The Senate did not meet to-day. In the House, various reports, embracing private bills, &c., were made from many com- mittees, all of which were committed or other- wise sppropeinialy disposed of. Nothing of public interest transpired in the Hall ere the Star went to press _—_—__oOoOoOO So THE RAILROAD OOLLISION. The Philadelphia papers of yesterday are filled with the distressing accounts of the col- lision on the North Pennsylvania Railroad, by which fifty-two lives were lost, and aboutene hundred wounded, fully one third of whom can scarcely survive. The Ledger says: The excursion train proceeded at a rather slow rate for some miles, owing to the great weight to be drawn. Then, fearful that he would not reach the station in time for the down train, Mr. Hopple ordered an increase of speed, and as the train approached Dewey’s Lane, which is about 12} inlles from the cicy, it running at quite a rapid rate. Still, no accident was apprehended, as the rules of the road required the down train to wait fif- teen minutes at the station, and if the up train did not then appear, to send a man on horse back, with a flag. ahead, to give notice that the train was ene. The regular train for the city, left Gwynned at 6 o’clock and 14 minutes, the conductor being Mr Vanstavoren. At eighteen minutes after 6 o'clock the train reached Fort Wash- ington station. Finding that the excursion train had not arrived Mr. Vanstayoren de- termined to proceed slowly. He was cautioned, it is alleged, that he was ahead of time, but maintained that he was not, and the train wenton. Thus, then, the excursion train was approaching the curve of Dewey’s Lane at a rapid rate, while the down train was coming at an ordinary rate of speed—and neither con- ductor was anticipating any trouble—when there was a sudden shriek of the steam whistle and a turning down of breaks—all too late. The iron horse of the excursion train thun- dered around the curve and plun, into the opposing train with an awful crash. A scene ensued that appals all attempts at description. The three foremost cars of the excursion train, with their precious burden of human life, were crushed to pieces upon the locomo- tive and tender, and whi the occupants were instantly killed and man- gied in a horrible manner, the shrieks of the wounded—and of those who, though unhurt, cried out in agony of dread—sent a thrill of terror to the hearts of all who heard them that can never be forgotten. To add to the horrors of the scene, the broken engine set fire to the cars of the excursion train, and a number of the passengers who were unable to get out, were actually roasted alive! Lines of men were formed, who speedily pro- cured buckets and axes, with which they en deavored to entinguish the flames and rescue the unfortunate passengers The fire raged with fury, however, an utterly defied the ex- ertions of these persons, who were compelled to witness the shocking spectacle of men, wo men and children being burned to death, without having it in their power to extend any aid. At this time the aspect of the wreck of she cars, lit up with the devouring flames, and rendered ghastly by the projection caleu- lated to sicken the sternest heart. The down train suffered considerably by the collision. It consisted of the locomotive Ara- mingo, a tender, a smoking and baggage car, and a passengercar. Not more than twenty passengers were aboard. The locomotive and tender were broken by the shock, and the cars considerably injured. The passengers were either pitched out down the embank- ment—here about ten feet—or tumbled to- eee in a manner to receive severe injuries. he engineer and firemen were badly hurt. But all attention was directed to the shock- ing mass of wreck, death and misery among the remains of the excursion train. As the number of assistants increased, the flames were more vigorously assailed, and large num- bers of wounded were extricated and placed by the roadside. Persons were sent to the nearest farm houses, and the country people hastened, with all the appliances at hand, to the scene of horror. Finally the flames of the burning cars were extinguished, principally through the aid of the Chestnut Hill Fire Company, and then the persons at the scene who were unhurt had ample opportunity to take speedy measures for ateendin to the wounded, and removing the remains found among the ruins. Now came a fresh series of horrors. Eleven me, women and children had been burned to death in one car. They were caught under one of the sides and roasted, so that the re- ma‘us when extricated presented a shocking spectacle. The mangled remains of four men and women and achild were dug from beneath the engine and tender. The remains of an infant were found under the ruins of the en- gine, in the ash-pan, The remains of six other bodies were raked out of the ashes and ranged side by side on the grass. The North American says : At the scene of the disaster, the excitement among the surviving passengers, and those who came to the ground, was at one time di- rected ee: Wm Vanstavoren, the con- ductor of the down train, whose violation of the rules of the road was alleged to have caused the appallingcalamity. That gentle- man bad borne the reputation of being a care- fal, intelligent and reliable man, and many were at a loss to explain his conduct. Soon after the accident he came to the city, and immediately proceeded to his residence, at Tenth and Buttonwood streets. There, it is said, he appeared to be laboring under a gloomy excitement, either proceed! from mental trouble, or injuries received by the ¢ollision. He went out and returned about dinner time, when he retired to bed. About 5 o'clock in the afternoon he was found dead. The story that he had committed suicide by faring arsenic was epread throughout the city, furnishing material for the gossips, who have never a sufficient mouthful when a calamity of this kind ceours. Others said that grief and remorse killed him. But the brother of Mr. Vanstavoren called at our office to inform us that the unfortunate conductor had died from internal injuries received by the shock of the collision. The Times says: Various stories and opinions have been given in regard to the prevention of the eatastro- phe. But a statement in reference to the con- struction of the road will enable our readers to form s better idea in regard to the same than either the stories or speculation farnished. For the distance of about a mile in the vi- winity of the disaster, the road consists prin- cipally of two curves which form the letter 8 ; so that the engineer of a train up be- low the station, and passing the same without stopping, would not be able to discern the down train before coming directly upon it And in this.case, as the cars did not Camp Hill, but were proceeding at the usual rate to Fort Washington, neither the engineer or conductor. discovered the regular train from Gwynedd until too late to avoid the ca- tastrophe. The Ledger says: This dreadful affair, we resume, will be thoroughly investigated. ‘he blame is thrown by many upon the con- ductor of the excursion train, who, it is said, disobeyed the standing instructions of the company by not stopping the train and wait- ing for the down train, when he found that he was behind time. A fearful amount of re- sponsibility rests ore somebody’s shoulders On the other hand, it is said that the engineer of the down train was ahead of time, and that this was the cause of the collision. A gentleman who saw the accident, and was within fifty yards of the spot where the collision occurred, states that the cars on both trains were running about thirty miles an hour. On coming in sight of each other, both whistled for ‘down brakes,’’ but the distance was too short to prevent a collision On com- ing together, both engines struck with a tre- mendous force, reared —— fell over on their sides, the bottoms of both engines coming together. The first two passenger cars per- formed the same cvolutions as the engines, the third car being piled on the first two, making a complete wreck of all, the force of the collision scattering the burning cinders am the cars and setting them on fire. Two freight cars, belonging to the down train, containing milk, were also burnt—making the scene one of the most terrible ever be- held.
