The execution of the Fenian prisoners,; by the British recently at Manchester, will be the most important re-enforcement Fenianiam has yet received.

". We see it stated that our present Hoss Superintendent of Common Schools, declines being a candidate for that position. A. F. Shobtridge, -Esq., formerly, of this-county, will no doubt,, be selected by the Republican State Convention for that office. .He is a plain, practicaUcom-mon-sense man, and will, if elected, "fill the bill" that .Jefferson made out for office-holding : honesty, capability, and faithfulness. , We gb for him. r r , . . t ' The "friends of Comback, are' very urgent iiT having him as the Republican candidate for Governor.

The Louisville Courier (Rebel) thus Comforts itself with the hope that the National Debt will be repudiated : ; J "In a' Government -where universal suffrage is tolerated,, no debt which imposes such burdens ; upon the masses as ours does, can be secure.

For the Pallftdlura.

Religious Statistic of RicKmondp . Editors JPlladium: The object! 'of my communication, has been -partially answered tly th4 reply of my friend Coffin in your paper f the. 9th, i which, he takes occasipi to aver that ' the re porter for the Cincinnati Gazette, haa, not,.in several respects correctly represented" his .icmarks at.the Indianapolis Christian . Convention. This is wlfliri thought, and said, bat in spiter5 of this1 admission, before he ' gets half thVough with his explanation of what he dUl say on that occasion, he reiterates all that the Gazette's corresnondent charges him with uttering, and gives his belief in them as suostantial facts ! This, for him to use no harsher word, is disingenuously 'fixed ' up a denial and an affirmation coming entirely too close together to be reconciled It may be a lapsuitiwytice, or a slip of the pen. I am credibly informed that my friend Coffin obtained : his visiting statistical figures from a woman 1 by the name of Pray, "who had been converted ' after years of 'sin.' Now, may not this woman have furnished him an exaggerated statement of the number of famil ' ies she visited and their religious condition ? 3 It strikes " me, that it woukl take ' an'active'5 walker and talker, to visit two thousand families and make the proper Inquiries ' r not less than two months to do this 'service, and surely in all that tirre,'my family and that of my neighbors, could not have escaped seeing and listening to this seeker after the religious ' statistics of Richmond ; hence my conclusion, that friend Coffin's basis of '"facts," as he styles them, might be wrong, and that the woman might not yet be "soundly 'converted," for she surely did not, whilst ''spinning street yarn," or gathering carpet rags, arrive at my tabernacle - at least. - No doubt, like some new converts I have noticed during my' time, .she has had abundance of ' zeal, but it has lacked being tempered with knowledge. - There is ' no - man in Richmond for whom I have a higher regard, as a practical - christian, and good citizen, than C. F. C;.but whilst, thus awarding him, his due, I still think him ' human, and liable to be led to an erroneous con-' elusion by relj ing too much on representations made by othere. Whilst regretting the attempt, unwittingly, I must .believe, to reverse the text: "Where tin abounded, grace did much more abound," in its application ,to the present situation of Richmond, I heartily join with him . in the desire to "labor earnestly for improvement," by assisting him to remove so much evil, remedy the statistics, and thus obtain the blessing from-above. . ;. .. ... , ... .,,.' ; !

More bills and resolutions, directing inquiry, have already been introduced than were ever before brought forward in the first two weeks of any session. All the financial bills, with two or three exceptions, are opposed to certain features of Secretary McCulloch's policy. Mr. Julian, of Indiana (Union), offered a resolution instructing the Committee on Public Lands, to inquire into the , expediency of so amending the Homestead law of 1862, as to prohibit the further sale of public lands except on conditions requiring their settlement and improvement.. The most important resolution yet introduced in Congress, was that presented yesterday in the House by Nr. Ross, in favor of the substitution of greenbacks for National Currency. The votes upon it showed conclusively that Congress is willing to entertain the proposition. That Terrible Accident, We briefly noticed last week, that occurred a short distance above Lockiand, on the. Cincinnati Hamilton fc Daj-ton R. R., Thursday morning last, about 6 o'clock, is thus portrayed by the Cincinnati Commercial, from which we take the following extracts : . " The darkness of early morning was, at that time and place, made impenetrable by a dense fog that had held its place the night through. It happened that an extra freight train of thirty-six cars, drawn by the engine "Beckett," was obliged to halt on, and north and south of, the bridge accross the Lockiand station, owing to the breaking of the engine's pilot. The engineer immediately sent back a man to flag the express train that he knew was following him a combined Eastern r.and Northern express, made up of passenger coaches of the Atlantic & 1 Great Western Railroad, through from New York, and of the Dayton fc Michigan road, from Detroit, connected at Dayton. This train left Hamilton at twenty-seven minute? after live and took about twenty minutes to reach this bridge. The flagman's lights for this train was discovered in good time aud it was promptly halted. Here,, then, behind the freight train of thirty .rsix cars, and within a couple of rods of thec-ibo6se,stoo the engine Steedraan, of a train of ten cars, two express, two baggage, two Atlantic & Gr?at Western sleeping coaches, two Atlantic & Great Western passenger coaches,, one Dayton & Michigan sleeping coach and one Da'ton & Michigan passenger eoach. The Dayton & Michigan sleeping car was the last of this second train, and next to it was the Dayton fe Michigan passenger couch. All the cars, save the last, were well filled. In the last car sat (for those who had occupied berths had risen and made their toilette) four ladies and two gentlemen. One of these gentlemen was Mr. Allison, the car builder. The other was unknown. Three of the ladies appeared to be intimate, and sat together. The fourth lady appeared to have made their acquaint, ance, as she occasionlly spoke to them. She, however, sat by herself, in a seat on the other side from them. This car was the death trap, and all these ladies were soon roasted to.death. As soon as this train halted, its conductor, William H. Sliter, gave orders to his flagman, Theodore Cress, to start back witli a light "go as fast as he could and as far as he could," and stop

tne Hamilton accommodation and freight mixed, that was following rapidly,-and would . oon be up wi(h them4 Cress was seen to start back at a rapid pace, bearing a red and a white light-fj While he went on his errandrtho conductor

walked down along the frieght ttainits enure lengm oi nearly i,.uu leet, to see what damage the Beckett had sustained. He then started jbak,f andj had walked only a "third" of the distance' in 'return, when he realized that something was wrong. Three quarters of a mile away, in the darkness -and through7 the fog' was coming a traitrof sixteencars-two passenger and . the balance freight whizzing along with the sreed' of, steam and a steep down grade. ' He heard the whistle for brakes on once, and knew that the flagman's signal had been noticed. He heard the whistle again,, and wondered that it should have been re peated. lie heard it a third time, saw the dim glitter of a swiftly approaching head-light, and knew, although he could not comprehend ; why, that death and destruction were at hand. Whistling the brakes down, turning, its wheels with reversed motion, doing all that it could to avoid - its fate, the Franklin, an unwilling agent of death, slid along the wet rails, propelled by. the momentum of its train, and plunged half its length into the rear "sleeper." The crash was terrible. Instantly nearly all the passenger cars were jammed into each other, and the Steedman was driven into the caboose of the freight train. In two of the cars people were writhing under the tortures of torn limbs and bodies; but in the last car death was reveling. Mr, Allison escaped; but there was four women and a man imprisoned between timbers and pannels, bleeding, and gasping, and dying, one with her entrals torn out, and another with her head cut off. If this was terrible, that which ensued was horrible. While the bewildered aud frightened passengers in the other cars were being released, the steam, scalding hot, waa parboiling these mangled victims, the smoke was i choking them, and soon there was a whirl of fire through car, from the engine's head-iigbt or the car-stove the only fire of the train that had not been extinguished as soon as possible after the accident. The flames swept all over this last fatal wreck, wreathed themselves around five human beings, ate up clothing, skin, flesh, and bones, while the victims shrieked and screamed lor mercj', for pity, for aid and one for water. One of the ladies got her head out of the wTindow, and an effort was made to rescue her, but it was made in vain. Only her head and neck could have been saved from fire for her body was locked between timbers and could not be drawn out. The couductor and engineer procured axes and attempted to cut into the car, but failed in this- Rapidly the fire swallowed this car, and strode through and over even passenger coach of. the train. Its progress . was unimpeded and its triumph complete, save that it could find no more lives to destroy. When the fire had exhausted itself, the wreck was cleared away from the track, and a search for the dead was made. A , headless trunk and a trunk that lacked limbs were found, and three others were found, less mutilated While the dressing of the wounded was in progress, these ghastly remnants of humanity were picked out, all charred and blackened, and still smoking with heat, and carefully laid aside. So far as was possible, the parts were placed together. There were remains of two bodies, however, that amounted to nothing more than several, unrecognizable masses of broijed flesh and broken bones. From an examination of the baggage of the ladies who met their death in this horrible manner, it was ascertained their names were Harriett, Rebecca, Sarah, and Jane Morgan, who resided at New Orleans, and had been visiting in Canada, .and were then on their, way home, intending to stop at Louisville,' Ky.,3and spend a couple of daj's with some of their acquaintances there. The gentleman who was killed was Mr. Charles Jackson, of Boston, who had. acquaintances on the train and friends in Cincinnati. This man was not scratched. He was roasted alive in the full vigor of manhood and he met death in the heroism of a vain attempt to save one or more of the ladies. After the crash he was seen outside the train, oh the ground, entirety unharmed. It was supposed that he was standing on the platform and jumped j but when he saw the head of one and the hand of another of the ladies who were imprisoned, in the car and appealing for help, projecting irora the window, while the steam was scalding them, but before the roasting alive had commenced--he worked his way back into the car, (how is not known, unless through one of the windows) in a noble effort to save life. But he was immediately choked and blinded by smoke and steam, and sank down beside his fellow travelers and sufferers'nd died with them. Cincinnati Markets; , Cincis.v ati, November 28, 1867.

Mission School Aid Society. The Mission School Aid Society

was organised ip the 11th month, (Novemper,) 1865, not as a competitor to "any bther Society, but to fill si niche no other fiUed.L.Oura haa.beW-a two-fold purpose. Whilst bearing to the homes of I poverty and sorrow, sunolies for their physical' wants,' we have endeavored to Jbear to them the greut news of salvation, recogniiing"thatthe' two. goT hand in haud-r-that it is in, vain to endeavor to cheer the poor, and -afflicted, by telling them of a Saviour's love and sympathy whilst they are suffering with cold and hunger. Bat it has- been 'our "aim to make one accessory to the other striv- L ing to make life a blessing by winning them to the service of Christ; "The cause which we knew not wo searched out.", It has been our aim to make the means which we have disbursed, subservient to the elevation of those who have been the recipients. We find that many of them have sunken to the position which they now occupy, for the want of a word of cheer or sympathy, and a little timely aid to place them in a position where the" could be se-lfsupporting. , This has been our mission. Quietly during oar first year we moved along, drawing fromi our purses the supply, but the work increased upon our handa, we found ourselves unable to fill the field, whicLi opened widely before us. We found,, upon investigation, that there werr many who were struggling, silently and aloue, under the weight of poverty, preferring to suffer rather than bew.ome a public charge. We found children remaining at home from Sabbath School for the want of clothing. Otheri. we found far down in sin and iniquity, with none to care for them ; and so grea'L was the field, that we come before the p ablic appealing for aid. The appeal has been kindly and promptly responded to and thesum of one thousand and eighty-three dollars was subscribed. After ' another year's exertion in the various objects connected with ouir So ciety, we make this our Second A;onual Report; rendering to you an account of our stewardship, in which we hope to be able ,to show you, our friends and supporters, that we have applied your charities to the objects for which they were intended, and that' our. labor has not been in vain. ' a .... To you we would return our j thanks for making us the almoners of. you r bounty to the poor and destitute : who have come under our care, and could w picture to you by words, the scenes or events with which we have become fa -miliar, and could we but lead yxu to re -alize the depth of misery and sorrow, both temporal and spiritual, which you r means have enabled us to alleviate, w e doubt not 3rou would be satisfied wit! your investment. A few incidents may show you something of the nature and manner af our labors. . Visited a family consisting of a fatheaand mother and a large number of small children ; found them in a suffering Condition. The father had been sicK the mother with a young babe, both of thei n being unfit for work. The family were suffering for food, had had nothing to er it but bread for two weeks. They wer discouraged and cast down, finding thct no one cared for them. It was a pleasure to minister to them words to checur their drooping spirits; and point tliem no Him, who was himself a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief. . Visited a widow with three children, she had been very ill, unable to work for eight weeks. Her eldest daughter bias also been sick for several, weeks. Amidst all she could bless the Lord, but most for the severe affliction. Paid her rent, furnished her with wood and provision, and shoes for her children. Visited another family which we found in great distress, the mother, being left a widow with a number of children, and finding it difficult to maintain them, she was induced to marry a man, who before marrying, made many fair promises, bnt no sooner had he secured her for a wife, than h.e commenced abusing the children refusing to allow them to remain at home, and in her recent confinement, totally neglected her, and for. days she was without fire. We gave her wood and provision, clothed her children and took them to the Sabbath School. These are, given as examples. We could fill many sheets with similar narratives. Five girls. have been rescued from a life of iufaraj, and wc believe are now leading virtuous and useful lives. .Were it not for the feelings of friends, gladly would we tell of many scenes of harrowing distress which your means hare relieved. .Twenty-four children have been placed in christian homes and with one exception have given entire satisfaction. Since our organization, we have given to children, 500 garments, 100 pair shoes, 30 hats for boys, 40 bonnets and hats for girU, 49 pair stockings and 46 pair of mittens. , Connected with our work is our Mothers' Meeting. In our labor and investigations, we . found many mothers who were struggling hard to clothe and provide for their families, and who, with all their efforts, were unable to do it, and not only this, but so . fully were their time, thought and strength occupied, that they had no time for mental or religious improvements. ( Others we found ;

ignorant or their duties in life. To

remedy these difflcidUes.XthelMQthers Meeting was established, iq wicfcit lias been the aimwhilst aiding these. moth ers to provide for their children, (the goods lor wbicMs Jiirnished to.jUiem at reduced prices,) at the same time to provide for their social, mental aud religions improvement, thereby feeding the mind while clothing the body. Others who have Jess need but little time ,fQI improvement, have availed1 them selves p the prjyilege .of meeting jWiUj us. About 100 have been members, and we believe much good has been the result. ' -j During the past year wc have expended 81,954 00 in the various objects that have come under onr care. It would take too much space to give a detailed account of our expenditures, but our books are open for your investigations at any time you may desire it. Humble and small as has been our efforts, we have realized the blessing of the Lord to rest npon our labors. ' R. M. Coffin, President. Richmond, 11th Mo., 20th, 1867. Appeal of the adiea' Uaion Relief Aso- ' ciation. - . ;;r The KicbmoDd Ladies' Union Relief Association, has been in active operation five years. During this time it has received over fire thousand dollars, which it bas expended chiefly in provisions, fuel bedding, Ac, among the poor of liichmond. It has also donated sonte thousands of garment., roost of which have been made by its members. During these years, the Committee believe no application for relief has been made to it, without its merits having been investigated by the special committees, appointed in each ward for that purpose, and whenever actual waut bas been found it has been relieved. Feeling the need cf a homo for destitute and orphan children, the Committee, through the liberality of the City Council, secured a house the past summer, and engaged the services of a Matron, Thus far the Home has been successful, and feeling it no longer an experiment, the ladies of the Committed are anxious to be enabled to extend its benefits to a large number of children, who seek its friendly shelter. The winter is now upon us j all the necessaries of life, food, fuel, clothing, are extremely high, the applications for relief numerous aud many of thete preming and urgent. Whether or no we can meet the demands upon us, muf t depend upon the liberaltiy of our fellowtownsmen. The Committee would ask, that in the contribution txXen up on Thnksgiviog Day in tha several places of worship, the .Richmond Ladies Relief Association, and its Orphan Home be not forgotten.

Calmly and in peace passed away our friend and brother, J. K. Iliff. During bis long illness he ' suffered greatly, but when the cold waters of Jordan lashed his weary feet, on the dear Savior's breast ho leaned bis bead and breathed .his life out sweetly there. . For more than 30 years he waa a member of church, and a class-leader. In his death the church has sustained an irreparable loss. " He was faithful to all her interests, and especially was be a friend, and advocate of Sabbath Schools. . Indeed, in every rela tion of life, lie was loved and respected for bia unswerving ; integrity and devotion to the cause of Re ligion. The church, of which lie was an henered member, bas lost one of its strongest advocates and , defenders. . He waa dreted and faithful in all things pertaining to an exemplary life and character. Of him it can be truly said , he was an affectionate hus band and devoted father, a kind neighbor and a con- . sistentchristian. : The Church mourns the less of one, a brother beloved, and the community a good citizen ; but in the home, alas ! will he be missed the most. There tha dear familiar face will be Seen no more ; the seat at tie table is vacant, and at the home hearth the voice of love is hushed forever. But, dear bereaved ones, another voice is .attuned to heavenly melody. Weep not 'for the blessed dead. His sufie rings are over he has entered on joys immortal, in that "sun bright clime" by the great white throne, by the rir- . er of eternal gladness he is singing the gushing full ness of eternal glory and blessedness. ' There's an earnest voice in the household band, Whose counsels no more will be heard en earth There's a footstep waited but never heard, - , , And a chair ever empty beside the hearth. , There's an angel voice in the heavenly choir, Chanting the songs of mercy and love, ;i And weary feet are resting at length. ...
