Subject to the decision of the Amtnc&a reopie TTTI UATLSO AD. Many of our readers will bo glad to 1 lWthit there is a possibility, nay a yrobäbiiity that the Directors of the Valley Road will, for the presentaban- ' don, the road. Tbe question is to be considered oon by the board. There is near 82,000,000 of. good I stock, which, in ordinary times would -Uwfficient to build the road. But, as f nancial matters now arc and must ' h for at least fire years, it would be folly to attempt to prossecutc the work. Tire millions of real estate could not ow command money enough to build the road, except at ruinous rates of interest. Our stockjf preserved, and husbanded, would probably, when times arc better, complete it, and when Wilt it will pay well, not only to stock .holder but to the country better to the country than to stockholders. But it is questionable whether it would b right to require stock holders to lay out of their means so long. It would be better, in our opinion, to wind op for the present, and let each stock holder bear his share of the expenses incurred, and resume the road when circumstanrcs are more favorable., We doubt not that tijjht tr ten percent of the subscriptions of stock would pay off all debts, and give back to each man his farm and money. If times continue as they aro likely to, the stock will not be worth twenty five cents on the dollar in twelve months. We believe a meeting of stockholders should be called. There is a great change in financial matter' kineo the last meeting. There is a downward tendency that can not be stayed. As no work has been done and no unnecessary expenses have been incurred, now is the tine to disband. Were the stockholders all men of wealth, it might do to suspend operations until times are better, but four fifths aro poor men who have invcstedtheirallintheroad, and will be bankrupt if some thing is 'sot done soon.

A pUin old Quaker, wWhing to comply with tha rcquo.1t of tho king, ' called on him in praon, when the following dlalojuo ensued: . . "VU George, what ie theo thankful for, because, thee hast lost thirteen eolonU? "N'o," answered the King." Is it because thou hast sactitlod the lives of some hundred thousand of thy sub!" No waa the reply. "I It then because thou hut spent a hun ' drod million pounds in tho m!"'Xo, William, no, it is because mat . tcrs are no worse" said tho King, cm barrassed. !

bar heard frua him. When last heard from, Indiana had cirtainly elected ain f Aunty Xehraska's friends, and probaly ten, to" tfcogress, and a large majority on joint ballot'ia, the Legislature. The Teoplea ticket carried by some' 1 2000; probably more. In Ohio," Sam has behaved badly.The Peoples ticket has carried by about C0,00O, and they hare elected everv Conirressman. twenty one in number, none by a less majority than 1 600 and some by 7000. Ye t Pugb," the advocate of popular sovreiguty among squatters, refuses to resign his seat in the Senate, when he knows that a majority of 80 0C0 of the votes of Ohio are against him. - Sam has been at work in Pennsylvania also. The peoples Governor has been elected by about 2M0O,'aad 22 out of 25 Congressman are the friends of the much persecuted Aunty, above alluded to. Wo guess sb will feel better after tLU. N. B. We don't care about seeing Sam now till after ht has visited New York, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, New Jersey, and Massechusetts. ' Sara is a great boy. Let 'im rip. Jt" The result in Laurel township, which is the only exception to the general result that Old Liners fell off every where excipt among the Germans is attributable to the indefatigable labors of Dr. OitTorcd. The Dr. prefering the position of the Old Liners on the whisky question, to the position of the Freeman's candidates, gave his entire influence to the support of those whe oppose prohibition. In this he exercised the undoubted right of a citizen, and while we do not think his views are correct, we approve of the frank and open manner in which he operated. We admire tho open and avowed opponent, though we accord not with his views. If we are correct ly informed the Dr. is a Whig yet, and only co-operated w'.th the Demi crats fcr the sake of opposing prohibition. L , ! Toruux sonxnoTT. 1 ! The echo of thU musical phrase has hardly died away, and yet the Old Liners aro hoping they have elected ten menben to the State Senate, i and for what? With ten senators in favor ofroruian soviaiicvir, the senate can and will refuso to go into the electienofa United States Senator , this winter and leave Governor Wright to appoint Pcttit two years more. Let them do it if they dare. Such are the men who favor popular sovereignty among some fifty or a hundred slaveholders in Kansas, but who believe in the one man power in Indiana. " "i MMBACZm. 27. Rising Sun Xetcs, (Old Line) says that when the returns were re och cd in Rising Sun some of tho people yelled nnd howled! Gregory, you ought to hare told your neighbors that none but dqgs yell and howl when beaten, and coaxed them to bear defeat with a bet ter grace. He complains also that the old cannon greatly annoyed the citizens of that city by its noise. Rising Sun is disgraced by such procveding. PEoniBiriojr. In one rcxpect, at least, Prohibition triumphed on election day. At Indian spoils, Lswrenccburh, Cincinnati and eltowhert all drinking honsrs wer closed on that day by authority of the Mayors. This is a complement to tho principle of prohibition. IIukor, to wnusi Iloaoa ia Düs.Dr Paulus, end Rev. Mr. Cordier, contributed more tirtho aueess of the Democratic ticket In this county tlm any two men in the county. Thlr labors moag their enntryroeu were unceasing and eminently successful. Unlike lhe la bors of Messrs. Berry and Jones, thry tolJ In tho direction drslgned, while In every instance thrso gentlemen, In laboring among the Americans, did tpore for our csuie than against us. ;Tho speeches of Dr. Derry were of a different character, and did gooi fur tbe party. Had not Dr. Derry gone out wo would have best a part of the ticket at least, Lrt no one say we blame Dr. Paulus or IWv. Mr. Cordier. They were exer cluing t.ie rights of American cltizeni, autl no one should deprlvo them of those rlihta. Yet It is a little remarkable that the party whose principle- urjju meiita were agalnut preachers ineJJIIsj In politics, should show plainly that their objections are only ajulmt natlvo born preachers. It It right In their sight for foreign born preachers to electioneer, but Americans must be mum. Z"Tho best b.iro In this county, If not in this State, is tho barn of Mr. Heron, of White Water township. It is tCO feet by J0, and ßirrangcd for convenience belter than any bant we ever saw. Wo would say too, that it is kept with old (maldiih prccNon, were It not "the boya,M who manage it tiro ir.corrliblo old bvlicluri, Any one who wishes to build a good barn would do well to travel fifty miles to see this before planning one. für A few weeks sg) w took look through the splendid store of William Lee fii Co, vhoir advertisement appear this week in tbe AwHcan.

These calamities occurred, ono on Lake Erie, the other on the Ocean, 3,000 miles apart, nnd tho news of which reached us within 24 hours of the same time . ß From the beat information wo can obtain,' we judge that some four or five hundred "Old Whigs" voted the Democrat ticketin this county last week. Moat of them were influenced thereto by their lave of free whUky a few of them by their approval of '.he position of that party on the (slavery question The loss thertfore of the Democratic party is to be attributed to the fact that some c!htor nine hundred of their uld friends forsook them. , OT We ,aro aorry to sco lightning rods going up, on the ntw Court House that are entirely Insufficient for tho purpose designed.

hold of a door which had been taken

down to save the passengers. I then got the door to the raft. There were more people trying to get on the raft than it would hold. Some were clinging to tho raft with one hand. There were four ladies on the raft. Altogether there were seventysix persons on the raft when it separated. All died or were washed from the raft at C J o'clock the same night but myself. I was on the raft all that night and the next day. The third officer, after he had discharged his boat-load into the bark, saw me on the raft on my hands and knees, and came to my reT he7T ray'lelf under a rope of one of the fprs, Jo keep from being washed away! 1 i ate nothing from Tuesday nhjlit until I was taken off. I was. jut about throwing myself overboard when he discovered the bark. I was worn down with fatigue, and my eyes were Decerning dim. In consequence of holding on to the raft Mr. M'Cabe's hands were bruised, and his strength was ah but gone. His left le was squeezed between the water cask' and ' the yard arm on the. raft, The water was washing over him mostof the time, nnd the injury to his ankle grew worse. Mr.'M'Cabe' felt easier yesterday, though he is confined to his bed. He says the Arctic had so many passengers that they wanted more men, and he "shipped ut Liverpool for the voyage to New York. ADDITIONAL STATEMENTS. Since preparing the foregoing narrative for tho press, we have conversed with two of the .passengers who arrived here in tha Lebanon. Thev confirm the statement of Mr. Burns in all its parts. It was compiled af ter consul ation nmon the tnved, nnd with .he aid of all the facts within the knowledge of each. It will be observed," however., that we have gleaned some additional particulars. The most , importnt of these tstn relation to some of ih female passengers having been sated. Mr. Thompson, of New Orleans, says that he saw six or ciijht of these in one of lhe boats; one of whom, he wns informed, was Miss Schmidt," who, with her father, was on board ouhc r return from it tour in, Europe. The father was amon? those fee;, on the wreck when it went down. The opinion of both ircnl!emcn is, that all in the boats are saved. The first officer, who had been sent in the boat to see if those on the propeller were in need or relief, when informed that the steamer could not wait for him, was directed as to tho course it was necessary to steer for the land, in the henring of all those who subsequently' took tho other boats, and the inference is that they were fully in strucici on that head. The weather was perfectly calm at the time of the accident, and the ocean was ns smooth as the waters of nn in laud bar. It so continued for about twenty-four hours, when a stiff breeze Fprang up, '"accompanied by a rough f-ca. It is hoped that before this hap pened the boats reached a place o comparative safety. ; Roth the passengers with whom we have conversed were below at the time of 'the collision. They nfterwards heard, however, that the propeller camo stem on to the steamer, striking her about twelve or fifteen feet abafi the stem. It wns supposed that the Arctic had escaped without serious damage, and the only ooncern felt was for those onboard the propeller. This was the. case until the tirst officer's boat lud 1 ft tho ship. . Directly after thu Collis on the steam pumps were in motion, and all tho hand pumpa were manned. Tho former i were . kept going as long ns the engir t worked, nad tho later until the skip went down. Ono holejwas discovered near tho. water line, nt tho spot where the ojnUct took place, but is believed that ether nnd mote sciious injuries occurred below, as it was impossible from tho body of water which gained ingrcKS at this opening to account for thu rapid sinking of the tdiip. i Every effort w as made by those on board to stop these leaks, and up to the lime our informant wenttowoik on. thu rafts on which both were employed, hands wire engaged on the forecastle in tho cndeaor to draw bails under tho bows arounl tho vessel, One of our informants is of opinion that tho lower tiros wire extinguished in half an hour after tho collision, and the upper w ithin an hour. The other gentleman thinks that tho time was a little longer in ench instance. Doth concur in saving that tho ship Gnally suuk in about two hourssay at 4 o'clock. For about nn hour alter the collision the steamer mndo rapid headway toward tho shoie, but alter that her progress was slow until tho tires finally went out, and tho drifted a wreck upon the waters. -Throughout tho terrible scene Capt. Luce was fcelf-poisesscd, preserving his calmness while doing everything in his power to promote the safety oi ihoHtt entrusted to his charge. His own life he might easily have saved had he deserted hi post of duty. When lt seen he was in the immediate vicinity of Mrs. nnd Miss Collins, und other female passenger, apparently giving diiections for their conduct, : ..'The conduct of some of tho r.rcw and other employee. of thu st'ip however, does rot appear to havo been so commendable, und it is probably owing to llivir lirtvio obtMtmd control of the bVit that so lew were sated. The six life-boat i on board were all of thu most approved construction.

One of tho bonis had been detached for duty, nnd wns abandoned by tie stellt r. It in hoped that iho rescued a poill )ii of thoro who were left.on tht in ft or wuo flouting mound in the vicinity on ptvs and fi gments of the Wivck! Another bout, we me in'ormcd, was; seised by those woiking in lhe englni room, and was made instrumental to thu- saving of only some half a dorcn, when.il tuight havo ta ken on boHid nt leatlive t'wuvs ihut iittn'U' r.' ton e of the other boats uppaientlywtre but sparingly filhd. That in which weie thotio rescued by the Huron, had thirty-two on board.

as many probably as she could sustain during the "twenty-four hours which elapsed previous to her being picked op. The reports, so far as we have heard them, speak unfavorably of the conduct of those generally employed n the engine room. The list of the saved snows that a very ' large proportion of them availed themselves of the boats, und the labors of those employed in construction of the raft are said to have been seriously impeded by their conduct. At the time when the ship was about to sink, the rush of this clas over the sides of the ship nearly destroyed tho, raft altogether. Our informants say that neither of

Lthem heard either the bell tolled or the steam whistle used previous la. the collision, notwithstanding the denseness o: the fog. B?th, however, were below at the lime, and it is the opinion of those most conversant with the management of the ship, tbst ihes precautions a2ca:nst accident were not neglected. The whistle n board is so placed as to be at the command of the officer of the deck, without resort to the engine room. He has o?W lo turn an espacc cock, fixed near" his usual post, to sound the alarm. ;,.".: LATER. , Halifax, Thurs Jay. Oct. 12. We have received ewfoundland dates to the 4:h inst. lhe rrench sciew steamer Vesta arrived at St. John's, N. F., on the 30th ultimo, with her foremast and bows shattered to pieces she . being the vessel that came in collision with the ill-fated-Arctic She had on borr J thirtv-one of tha Arctic's crew, which she picked uoat tha caUstnphe. . I lie Yesuiost thirteen of her Das sen ga s in the coliMon. Three more of tho Arctic' hrv.t. have not been heard of. but bein" lifeboats it is supposed they mayVive been picked up by passenger ship. Vessels which were ent in search of lhe boats returned on Tuesday, the 3d inst., without finding th ".1;,.! trace of ihem or any portion of the wreck! ' Umon Cocxtt Ikd. Oct, 16, '54. Mil Editor: Just ssy to vour nu merous readers, that little Union is ri.ihUido tin and no mistake. The eople'a Ticket has made a clean sweep, notwithstanding" the almost sleepless vigilence of the opposition; some oi whom contidently b'asted ot success on the assertion that 400 freshnew voters fiom the Emerald Isle, hud greatly Ptrengtntned theiralready isnguine expectations of victory.But who can tell whata day may bria fortlil ' rro Vhijky-S!aury-"Caiho licim in this county, lias fairly gor.e under. And this is but tl e beginin" the end is not yet merely the Piograme! Rut what adds mostly t fill completely full their eupof sorrow, is, that after having charged the Peoples Ticket, with being allied with Know Nolhingi'm, and denouncing It (Know Nothingism) to the lowest hell, when lo nnd behold, two of their own candidates, for what i hey toiled and labored, and themselves voted, are now known tolbc Know Nothings! One Rcprcsentativcelect, is nn nnti-Nebras-ka, and an old school Temperance man. All rigV. A Jesuit declared here yesterday, that they would be too many for us against the election fur Governor, that arrangements are on foot to import seven ship loadsof Irish into Indiana, and have them naturalized against that time. That f omo mchtal change should te speedily made in our naturalization laws, is a matter that should claim the particular attention of our next Legislature. Let them remain unchanged, nnd Indiana id ten rcais will become a Hotony Ray, nnd tho rervile tools of a 'sensual Preisthood, allied with native born miscreants of tho swill tub, will crush out our fair institutions, and hand our children in return, to the tender tyeioiosof tho Holy Inouisitson! But I only thought to drop you a line, giving you the result of the Election. The majorities range from 17 to97, the Btato Picket's majority being 08. Three" cheers for littlo Union. NAVILLUS.
