The Awerican steamship Hermann, @aptain Crabtree, iz in her fifteenth day. Latest News by Telegraph. An important and interesting telegraphic de- | spateh from Charleston will be found in our co- dumps. The moderate membors of the Convention zeem to be in a minority, while the letter of Mr. Langdon Cheves, of which we give an abstract, seemed te have little or mo weight in checking the spirit of the address and resolutions, the character ef which will be learned by our brief report. Our special correspondent states that the speeches yes- terday in favor of moderation failed to have any effect, and that nine-tenths of the Convention are for secession. From Syracuse we have a brief report of the Anti- Slavery Convention in that city. Abby Kelly, Garri- son, Chaplia, Elizur Wright, Fred. Douglass, and ‘the like, were the choice spirits at work, having given bonds to the city in the sum of ten thousand dollars, in case of damages to the hall where they met, should any riot ensue from their speeches. There is nothing very remarkable in the proceed- , except that Garrison, who seouts at all reli- ious denominations, read a few passages from the Bible, and then proceeded to denounce the character ef this city and its inhabitants. Our telegraphic intelligence from Washington eontains an announcement with respect to the visit efthe President und of several members of the cabi- ‘wet, to this city, on the 14th instant. ‘The Agitaters, North and South. We published in @esterday’s Herald, a report of ‘the proceedings of the American and Foreign Anti- Slavery Society, and of the speeches made on the eceasion—particularly Henry Ward Beecher’s. This weciety originated in New York, and up to within a short time had enjoyed the reputation of being Very moderate in its views. It is now as violent as the soviety etaited by <jarrison in Boston, which will celebrate their twentieth auniversary to-day,in Syracuse, in the western part of this State. The former was started in this city by Arthur and Lewis “Tappan, and its newspaper organ was the Jowrna “of Commerce—the fires journal started on anti- slavery sentiment. Onr report of the speeches and ‘Fesolutions, and the terrible denunciations of slavery and of Southern institutions, by the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, {one of the most inflamma- tery orators and ablest men of the abolitionists of the present day,) shows that their views arealinost, if not quite, as uitra.as those of the Garrison aboli- tiouists. We publish to-day, e5 a further corroboration of ‘the doctrines of the -egitators and incendiaries North and South, the famous speech recently de- livered by Mr. Kkett, Senator in Congress from South Carolina, and who is the head of the State Rights Convention new in session in Charleston; and, also, extracts from the last report of the Anti- Slavery Society now bolding ite session in Syra- ie We put these documents in juxtapoeition, not for the purpose of increasing the agitation which at Present exists, but to shew to both North and South, the exact condition of public affairs in re ference to the great question of the day ; and tocon- vince the citizens of both extremes of the dan- gerous prospect before us, aad, if possible, to bring beck within the bounds of reason and moderation the public mind of botir sections. like a candle ignited at both en Sgitation is conseming it at the North and at the South; and ifit be not arrested, the whole fabric ‘of our government wil! be consumed.

The imbe- cility of the general government at Washington, ‘New Orleans, and in the attempt to involve Gen. (Quitman, without sufficient evidence, in a violation of the law, make-the men engaged in these enter- prises more confident in ultimate success, and of not only overcoming the United States government, and of escaping their vigilance, but also of trying their chances in Cube. The rumors of all kinds from the South, coupled with what is taking place in South Carolina and elsewhere, begin to exhibit a very ugly aspect. ‘This may be the game in which Palmerston and Sir Henry Bulwer may try to play trumps. Who knows? Tue Wenster Iyvrrario published, in yesterday’s paper, the signatures to the invitation got up for Mr. Webster, to attend a public dinner in this city. It is stated that he will be here about the middle of the month; and alzo that the Presi- dent, Mr. Fillmore, likewise will come on with him, including three of the cabinet, to share in the occa- sion, and to witners the formal opening of the Erie Railroad, about to be given... Good! Some singular circumstances are connected with this invitation. It is somewhat strange, that such along list of names could be procured—names of persons of the highest respectability, at a time when neither of the old parties can draw a respectable | meeting at their usual places of rendezvous. This shows, we think, the complete breaking up of the two old factions, and proves that they are near the end of their days. Even the attempt to resuscitate one of the old party issues, by the recent explosion of the Legislature in Albany, produces scarcely a ripplé in this part of the State. Another singular feature connected with this sub- | ject strikes our nervous system. On looking over | the list of names, we find it is formed of men of the highest respectability for wealth and patriotism in the city, belonging to both parties; that a cousider- able number of the signers are also the supporters of some of the leading abolition journals and Seward organs in this city and State. If we look over the advertising columns of the daily journals which advocated Sewardism, and still doso, we find, also, a great many of those who have signed the invitation to Mr. Webster. Many of them are likewise subscribers to abolition jouraals, both weekly and daily. These facts present a singular discrepancy in public sentiment, and in the political opinions of the business men of this great community. The abolition movement, in all its various shades, for the last fifteen or twenty years, has been gradually making so much progress in society, as to have drawn within its vortex some of our purest men and best patriots, without their knowing or in- quiring respecting the tendency of the opinions which they had appsrently formed, or that of the newspapers which they supported. The process of correcting this state of things has only begun. Nothing can thoroughly purify the politigal at mosphere but continual agitation of the slavery question within the limits of the law aud the con- stitution, and by supporting and backing such men as Henry Clay and Daniel Webster. The respect- able and influential men of this city, who, intimes past, formed the uucleus and strength and in- fluence of the two old factions, are gradually coming to their senses under the wholesome agita+ion which has been going on for some time past, for patriotic purposes, and for the preservation of the | Union. We have already seen the recantation of | one of the leading journals of Wall street, and the repudiation by the senior editor, of his associate, | who was weak enough to be duped and led astray | by the influence of such men as Wiliam H. Sew- ard and Thurlow Weed, and their cligue of politi- cians. The mercbants, mechanics, and other re- spectable people, who have signed the invitation to | Mr. Webster, are, some of them, in the same posi- tion as the Courter §& Enquirer, and, like that journal, are coming back to constitutional ground, to the principles which were recommended by the father of his country, in his farewell address, after he left the first presidency of the republic. Looking at this invitation, at the circumstances attending it, at the men who have signed it, and at | the crisis into which we have been preecipitated— | the movement which is now going on North and | South—the approaching presidential elestion—and | | the coming of Messrs. Filimore and Webster tothis | city in @ few days—looking at all these matters , together, we think we can see a little light ahead, which, with care and attention, may yet be made | to enlighten and enliven the whole State of New York, heretofore so benighted by the two factions of agitators, headed, the one by Martin Van Buren, and the other by William H. Seward, for a long | time past | | | | Ovrice Srextne.—The death of the late Phi Hone bas created a vacancy inthe Naval Office of thil ‘arly after a certain pardon had been | |, & very warm one, too, up to the time | 1 sures brought about by the great influence of Messrs.

The effect which this the Pacific and the Atlantic—between China and | has produced on the financial affairs and cash ac- ter to their faces, wo shall be much obliged for t'yg counts of the Courier establishment, has so operat- ed on the mind of the proprietor and principal editor, James Watson Webb, aa to induce him to come out, openly and manfully, and repudiate Henry J. Raymond, his asgociate editor, and his doctrines, which had hitherto appeared in that journal. As this is one of the most curious con- versions to the compromise faith that we have heard of in this latitude, we annex the recantation of Mr. Webb, in his own words, excluding some of , the tears, and sighs, and mournings, as matters at ed in the management of the Lopez trials in | which the public will only laugh, but’ for which | fornia, they will care nothing. Here is the political sia- ner’s repentant bulletip and confession:— Now, we sailed from. this city for Europe on the Ist of December, 184 Aud we left the Courier in charge of our asristant, afr. Nenry J, Raymond, who, up io that period, Was G4 Sound upon the question of slavery as could be | esired by any fricud of the compromire measures of the last Congress. He, however, had been elected to the State Legisiuture; and it cannot be concealed that, during our chsence, he gradually became imbued with avery doce trines, the spirit of which unavoiilably appeared or the eglumns of the Courier and Enquiver: although oa the very day we sailed for Europe, we left on record our protest against the Wilmot proviso, and the doctrines which taat protest was intended to sustain. During our absence the whole country became excited upon the question of slavery, to an extent never before known; and on our return, we found a degree of ultraisin existing among men usually cautious aad considerate, for which we were not prepared. But what surprised as more then apyihing else, was the facet that the euemics of the Courier and Enquiver, taking alvantage of the tone of the articles written by our representative, bad suc- eceded in causing its devotion to the compromises of the constitution to be doubted? bd bd . bd * We look upon secession and disunion as treason; aad yet no more treasonable than the advocacy of abolition doctrines. And all who for party purposes, or in the | spirit of fanaticism, advocate sbolitionism, secession, or , @iAanion, are traitors to this country, and to the happi- ness aud prosperity of the whole human race, by endan- gering the glorious example which our ‘great and prosperous Union is constantly exbibiting of the bene- fits cf free governments. And 30 thinking, we commend to our brethren of the press everywhere, to avoid agtta- tion upon the questicn of slavery, by #bstaining from | referring to it in their columns. Do this for ninety days | —refuse to chronicle the follies and the treason of dema- gogues and fanatics, of secessionists and abolitionists, for a few short months—and all danger of future difileulty between the North and South will be at an end. | All thisis very good, very funny, and very curious. | We welcome our old friend and eotemporary back | to the compromise faith, and te the true political church, ae a repentant sinner; and we pronounce over him abcolution—only, however, so long as he willremain true to his presentopinions. Withregard to the advice which he gives to his * brethren of the press,” we think he hed better keep it to himself; for he wants more for hie own consumption than he can afford to give to his brethren. ‘The agitation i has certainly been of some benefit ; for it has made our cotemporary a convert, and compelled him to repudiate his associate editor, Mr. Raymond. ‘There are as many sinners as deep as he in the guilt of abolition and Sewardism, as ever, and we slavery question, so as to bring the rest of these chaps to the same stool of repentance to which we have brought Mr. Webb. We, therefore, pat him | on the head, ana tell him to be a good boy-for the future—to play no more pranks with Seward—and perthance he may recover back the subscribers and advertisers which he hag lost during the last year. At least, we beg those gentlemen to try him again. the press! We, of the New York Herald, remem- ber when every journal in Wall street—the Journal of Commerce, the Express, the Courier and Enquirer, &c., &e.,— were all, more or less, anti-slavery. Now all of them have fi hat course eurreat which the Herat began in May, 1835. Good! En@ianp 1N Trovpie.—Several weeks ago we publisbed some rather interesting speculations on the character of the adventurers, schemers, loafers, gamblers, red republicans, come-outers and go-out- don during the World’s Fair. Looking at the very motley character of a large portion ef those who were hurrying off without any purpose except curi- osity or mischief, we indicated the probability of sympathire, in holding conventions and in entering into conclaves, for the purpose of effecting some trou- blesome work for the governments of the Old World. We stated also that the Irish Directory of this city, who have in their hands from twenty-five to thirty thousand dollars, held by them for no known purpose, might be involved in some way in revolu- tionary proceedings, by several members of it, who were then on their way to London. ‘These very natural speculations, arising upon the view which the motley emigration afforded, it now appears, have created quite a sensation in England, and even in Parliament, several distinguished mem- bers have entered into a discussion upon the subject. Such an extraordinary excitement on the part of the sober, quiet, and brave people, who have existed in a state of comparative peace at home for a thou- sand years, was not anticipated. As soon as the news and the New York Herald reacbed London, it appears to have excited extraordinary apprehen- sions. The prime minister sent off a note instanter for the Duke of Welliugton—the ministers tendered their resignations—Lord Stanley tried to forma new cabinet in vain, and the politicians, so conser- vative, so grave, so self-confident in the yeomaary and in the business population, did not even dare to venture on a general election, to form a new and re- liable government. England trembles from top to toe, and even the Queen, who has considerable and alroady whole flocks of office seckers con- | nected with the whig party, have been stimulated | in regerd to it. We have heard it stated that seve- | lhaif dozens of these ea yed office hunters atched the health of Mr. for several days before he died. ‘ihe moment his last sigh exeaped, | they posted off to Washington, and we believe that | lon efor te have been made in all directions to influence the President and the cabinet in their selection of the perron lo fill the vacancy. We have heard, th who aspire to the of the numerous individuals , only two have any reason ert Benson, well ; he whig rauke, and Mr. Caleb 8. Wood- { ayor of New York, are the two most prominent candidates. The first has the friendship of Mr. Clay; the latter that of Mr. Webster. The chances of both are about equal, aceording to all What a day may bring forth, however, no one can tell. The office of Naval Officer, with accounts teew, or twenty thousand dollars, according to the smartness of the person who holds it, and his apti- herve, was so much frightened, that Prince Albert regretted that an American newspaper, containing such alarm ng suggestions, should have reached the shores of “happy Albion.” Apprehensions of this character sova begat worse fears, and with the speed | which emergency only can create, thirty thou sand brilliant bayonets bristled inthe neighborhood | of Hyde Park; besides we know not how many paris | of artillery were ready at a moment's call. In tho meantime, to fillup the space between the hour of siaim and the probable waste of a good deal of “villanous saltpetre,” the English press brought its batteries to kear on the New York Herald, abus- ing it in the most magnificent language. Tho Times, the thunderer among the small artillery, treeted the menacing intelligence with a terrible anxiety to be cool, aud devoted its serried columns, day after day, to explanations, ailecting to laugh, | and appearing very umes like a traveller in some | | great, dark forest, whistling to keep his courage up, | try togetiier.

It forgb,d.s trouble in that quarter, with the Indians, The co*itinual didliculties that are likely to ensue | with the Indians in ‘Texas and New Mexico, Cali- | and Utah, for many years, will cost the United States many millions of dollars. We pre- diet that they are to occasion an annual drain from | the federal treasury, much beyond any amount heretofore anticipated by our legislators. It is the bounden duty of the federal government not only to fulfil the obligations of the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, in which we engaged to pro_ tect the whole northern and eastern frontier og Mexico from Indian depredations, and algo to cause | the Mexican captives held by the Indians to be | | between our citizens in Texas, New Mexico, Utah, and California, and tho savages near them. The number of warriors of the various tribes within the limits of the United States, probably execeds one hundred thousand. In this estimate are not in- cluded the Creeks and Cherokees, and other tribes who have become more or less civilized, and are peaceably disposed. Governor Calhoun, it seems, does not intend to | rely on the vigilance of the federal government or the efficiency of the regular army, but intends to organize a force for offensive and defensive war against hostile Indians. The exigencies of the case may justify this. But Unele Sam will be obliged to pay the expense. These Indian troubles will probably give occa- ‘ion for an effort at the next session of Congress, to | increase the regular army. ‘This should not be fa- vored. The army is now amply sufficient as stending army in time of peace, and should be re- duced rather than increased. It is not efficient in | Indian warfare. Regulars, from the days of Brad- | dock down to the day the Florida war was “ended,” | never were equal to the frontier rangers in such | wars. The true mode is to raise several regiments of volunteer rangers, to serve for short periods, and give them land ia the country they are to serve in, on condition of settlement there, they selecting | their own officers. Thousands of adventurous | | young men, with their young wives, would join such | corps from the Western States, and the system of | | armed eccupation would, in five years, secure the | country from all disturbance, and our duties to Mexico would bg easily fulfilled. If this is not | done, the entire regular army, staff and all, should | be despatched to the frontiers, and if they cannot | keep the Indians quiet, let the militia of the near- | est States be called upon. We do not need any addition to the regular force. We shall not be surprised if the government dis- 7) to Gevernor Calhoun’s measures. Sach a course will not, however, avoid the enormous ex- pense the government will have to pay, ultimately, on account of the Western Indians." The Flori | chief, Bowlegs, is not yet gone to the West, and we believe the regular army have given the matter up | | as a bad business. | Frenieness Picxixe 17s Way.—Dr. Foote, for- | | merly editor of the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser, | and a strong friend of Mr. Fillmore, has, it is said, assumed the management of the Albany Register, | | with the view of writing down the influence of Win. | H.

Pavixa Broapway.—Mr. Kingsland, the Mayor, | has very properly put his veto on the attempt to pave Broadway on the ridiculous patch-work plan, | | called the Perrine pavement.

During the day our reporter visited the scene of ta- lamify, and the following facts respecting the cause of the explosion, as well as the subsequent circumstances, together with the names of the killed and wounded, were ascertained from the most rellable sources :— It appears that a locomotive of suporior workmanship, weighing twenty-two tona, made for the Rochester and Syracuse Railroad, had just been completed, valued at 8,000, and that morning was undergoing the last test, pert was to have been transported to its destinativa, Yesterday morning a fire was made in the furuace, in order omake the final test of its capacity fur steam ; having been twice before steamed up for hat purpose. As the fire kim@ed up, and the steam was rising, the ‘were set in motion, when the boiler burst, with a fearful explosion. The effects of the explosion’ were confined almost wholly within a compass of thirty feet square, and those without it were consequently uninjured, ex- cept experiencing a shock. 'The locomotive was thrown from the first story to the roof, and in its descent lodged on the sill of the front second story door, having turned a complete somerset, The building itself was injured only within the space mentioned, except by the break- ing of windows, most of which are shattered and broken. There must have” been something like 150 mon in the appears to have been. The accident is attributed either toan imperfection in the iron, or carelessness on the part of those trying the engine, and at prawent it would unsafe to yenture an opinion ag to which was the cause, The following are the names of the killed and wovided: LE D Patrick Dougherty, Amos Whitehead. wouxprn, Thomas Bustard, James MacNamara, William Warren, foreman, Lewis Keuck, John Cook, do., Charles Benjamin, jun Watron Cook, John Ayres, John Brown, Jumes Ayres, James MeClory, Patrick Dailey, Michael Kane, Jobn King, Robert Houstown, Robert Harold.

The other injured persons, laborers and mechanics, were realded and bruised. but no bones breken. It is betieved they will recever, Michnel Kane was thrown by the ex- plosion up with the locomotive, and his leg beeante « tangled in the wheel of the enyine, and there he re- mained suspended on the tottering fragments of the shattered building for a «pace of nearly two hours, e: pectifg every moment to be precipitated to the ground, and crurhed by the locomotive, The walls were propped up, and the sufferer liberated frou Isis perilous situation, and found to have suffered comparatively little, Those named ax dead, gave little or no signs of life, though rescued within @ few minutes after the explosion, ‘The body of Thomas Bustard was extricated trom the ruins dead, Lis wateb, in his vest pocket, was ascertained to be without a buck, Subsequently,a man picked up the back of the wateh in the strect, some fiftwwen yards from where it was blown from the pocket of deceased, It had Deen #trnck from the watch as if severed with a knife. 7 ‘The boiler. it seems. was made capable of sustaining | 1€0 Ibs. to the ineh, and the day previous it had been tried with 120 Ibs to the inch; but on this morning there Was but 70 lbs. on. when the explosion took place, The impression appears to be, that the cause of the explosion Was attributed to the want of wate the boiler, from fact that the iron plates, or crown sheets. on exami- nation, were evidently red hot at the time of explosion. and when the water flowed against the red hot iron, tl steam was generated too rapidly, ttereby causing an pansion more powerful than gunpowder, and the result was tl ursting of the boiler, Coroner Vail was called to hold an inquest on the dead | bodies. A jury was sworn, and the evidence commenced with Mr. David Stoddard, one of the workmen, who tes- tified before the jury, that about 7 o'clock, that morning. about five minutes before the explosion took place, b at the locomotive; he then took particular notice of the safety valve, which appeared to be struggling, and lifting up and down in a dangerous manner; he felt fearful at the appearance of the en and walked away with the two engineers, fearful thi e accident would happen; and scarcely bad he left the locality of the engine, when the explosion tock place. Mr. Rogers. the owner of the locomotive, was next e: amined. e stated that he believed the cause of the e: plorion to have been for the want of sufficient water the boiler; that the furnace became overheated; tl crown sheet became red hot; and the water then flowing pow haga red hot iron, was the immediate cause of the ealumit, ‘The Coroner here remarked, that as many rumors were in circulation as to the cause of the ex) jonkon, he would adjourn any further examination until two o'clock on Friday next, in order to allow sufiicient time to have the valve and other of the demolished engine properly examined ; any further investigation was hereupon with- held until that day. We understand that the Bodies of » deceased persons will be buried this day. ‘The accident is attributed either to an imperfection in the iron. or neglect on the part of those whose duty it was to see that sufficient water was in the boiler before trying the engine.
