Terrible Accident on the Lafayette and Indianapolis Rail Road.

Conductor, Engineer and Fireman Killed.

.'We learn, in part, from a citizen of our place, Mr. W. McDonald, of the firm of Graham Brothers, who was on his return from Cincinnati that on last Saturday morning, at about 1 o'clock, the Express train, going from Indianapolis to Lafayette, broke through the Potatoe C.eek bridge, about sixteen or seventeen miles east of Lafayette, demolishing the entire train. The conductor, Mr. Irwin, was not killed instantly, but expired about half an hour after being rescued from the wreck and was not thought to be conscious—the only words he was heard to speak, was, VOh Jesus." The engineer, Mr. Beidingcr and the fireman, Paitrick Malony, were instantly killed, and most honibly mangled. The body of Mr. Irwin, after his death was removed to the house of Mr.

John Mitchel, who resides near the place of disaster. From thence, they were all taken to Lafayette for interment. Mr. Irwin, we understand was an unmarried man the Engineer and Fireman, leaving families to mourn their loss.

Mr. Ivilbourne, of Keokuk, Iowa, writing to the Lafayette Courier, says: "In the rear car were several ladies and children, and through this the passengers in the front car made, their escape. Mr. Lilly, Sup't, of the Road, happened to be on board, and by his presence of mind and energetic action, enlisted for him the warmest commendations of the passengers. He informed me that he passed over the bridge at four o'clock yesterday afternoon, and it then appeared to be safe. I learned from tome of the farmers residing near ttio scene of tlie disaster, that the heavy shower which occurred about that hour appeared to undermine one of the bents of the bridge and they were apprehensive of danger, so much so that they admit they listened for the coming of the train with great apprehension and were not disappointed when the crash came, the noise of which was heard for the distance of a mile or more. "Why they built no fire, raised no ilag or the lantern, to warn the engineer, is most unaccountable and is a neglect for which they uiust answer to their own conscience. One nolle lad (and I wish I knew his name, that lie might have the credit he do-

serves) fearing danger to the train propos-

cd to build a fire upon the track near the bridge, and if no one would join him, he wo1:lld keep watch through tho night alone, lut'he was dissuaded from it. Had he been ullowed'to follow his own generous irnpnlse this sad occurrence which has carried unspeakable sorrow to many families, and causing great destruction of property might have been averted'."

Tbo passengers all miraculously escaped without ahy-serious injuries.

Ilewctt the Temporauce Lecturer. On Satnrday evening last, we had the pleasure: of hearing Mr. HEWETT, the oll friend and co-labqrer of John B. Gough, lecture on the great subject of Temperance.

A large crowd assembled in tlie Court House yard in the afternoon, and again at night in Whitloek Hall, and listened with deep interest to the graphic descriptions of the evils of intemperance and the amusing anecdotes with which the lectures abounded. Mr. Hewett is far less abusive of the liquor seller than any lecturer whom we have heard, but he makes the business of retailing the poisonous drinks of the present day, so low* so contemptible, so mean that every one is ready to exclaim, well, the man who would follow such a business with all its dire results, its damning and soul-harrowing influences glaring in his face, must be on a par with his business he must possess a soul so dead ened as to be unmoved by the thunder tones of anguish which come swelling up from a!l parts of the land, and his heart beating in its casement of cast-iron is touch^ ed not with sympathy for others woes inflicted by his accursed traffic. 'Tis an nrtful, ingenious mode of warfare, less offensive and may be as effectual as the red hot cannon-balls of scathing indignation which other orators linrl at the liquor traffic and the men who follow it.

ing against the traffic in intoxicating drinl HP denounced the modern and much extolled larger beer as a villainous compound, impregnated with that poisonous substance Cocculus-Indicus, which crazes the brain of both fish and men. v,r.

Mr. Hewett expects to visit this region of country again in June. We trust and believe that his efforts will push on the great and glorious cause of temperance

Nincompoop Boweu.

The Review of last week, over a little item published in the Journal under the caption of "Query," says: "Our neighbor of the Journal seems to be terribly exercised about the Sheriff printing. If we are not much mistaken, he was in a bad way concerning it in the summer of 1857, so much so that we have our doubts whether our worthy Sheriff will again become reconciled."

We guess you are mistaken, dear Charly, in reference to dates! We were not in any way connected with the Journal establishment, in the year 1857! and furthermore, had we been, we' never would have done printing for him, nor any other man— and at the same time in their debt—been guilty of begging him, or them for a dollar or two, as we are officially informed you have done. We did not make a direct charge, but as your corns appear to have been pinchcd, vou are at liberty to wear the shoe.

Mr. Schooler, we suppose, has a right to go where he pleases to get his piinting done, and we think we have a right to say what we please, in reference to the dirty, unfair workings of you or any other man and we shall exercise that right, regardless of conscquences.

Charley tells us "not to follow too close in the footsteps of our predecessors," nor to. "grieve over departed friends." Keep cool, dear Charley—we don't think you srsecpliblo of grief—no such thing will ever trouble your brain, unless the Legislature of our State should at some time pass a prohibitory liquor law and thereby close up tho doggeries of our town—your favorite places of resort.

Mr. Hewett has great versatility of talent, is unsurpassed as a mimic, personifies the English, the Irish, the German, the French, and the peculiarities of our own countrymen, to perfection. At times he seems to wander far away from the subject of discussion, but suddenly his whole train of remarks is brought to bear with force upon the elucidation of the great cause for which he is laboring. Mr. Hewett seems at home upon the stage has a fine command of language his style is smooth, flowing and at times, rising to the eloquent his illustrations are striking and to the point his lectures on the whole are well calculated to check the progress of intemperance and set the tide of popular feel- appears in another column of to-day pa-

^English the Spy and Traitor.' There is probably no man in the United States so heartily despised and held in such supreme contempt as English the spy and traitor. In a speech at Washington, over the passage of the bill of which he is the ostensible author, he revealed tho fact that all the time ha was acting in concert with the Republicans, he was merely spying out their movements with a view to defeat them. His trick and stratagem met with partial success—r-he hoped for glory in the south, but his glory is turned into shame—they loved the treason but despised the traitor. Having lost the respect of all parties, he seems to have lost all respect for himself, and has swung off into that low vulgarity and disgusting billingsgate which flourishes best in the vilest sinks of European society.' Henceforward he will be known only as tho traitor and spy.— He will be despised by all honorable men, contemned, scouted, shunned as contaminated with leprosy on which it would be almost death to look.

An irish boy by the name of O'Conner, was drowned in Sugar Creek near this place on Monday last. He was engaged in catching drift wood. We understood he had a rope, one and of which was attached to a stone, and tho other end to his arm. He threw the stone over a floating log, which proved too much for him, and was thereby drawn into the wa-ter and drowned. His body was found on Tuesday evening,, a short distance from where he was drawn in. He was about fourteen years of age.

Machine Works.

Messrs.. HASSELMAN. & VINTON, of the Washington Foundery & Machine Works, Indianapolis, are extensively engaged in the manufacture of all kinds of steam works. We take pleasure in recommending these gentlemen to our farmers and mill owners, as manufacturers of Portable Engines which are admirably adapted for any use to which horse-power can be applied, viz: threshing machines, corn-shellers, portable mills, wood-sawing, or for manufacturing purposes generally. They also manufacture stationary engines of all sizes— boilers, chimneys, cast and wrought iron machinery, &c. The citizens of our county who may want anything in the line of Messrs. H. & Y., will find their work unsurpassed east or west, and the freight not so high by considerable as it would be farther east. They deliver their work on any of the rail-roads, or fasten machines on wagons free of charge and attend promptly to repairing of all kinds, and on the most reasonable terms, ,,

MCCORMICK'S REAPER.—Messrs. Eltzroth & Harding, are agents for McCormick's combined Reaper and Mowing Machines, for the counties of Montgomery, Fountain, Boone, and Hendricks. Persons in want of a machine, can have the privilege of examining one set up in woiking order by calling at the store of these gentlemen in Crawfordsville.

Now, if Mr. Wallace, as a Senator of Indiana, will recollect this doctrine, when it becomes his duty to assist in making a new apportionment of Senators and Rep-r resentatives, to the different counties of the State and not make one Old Liner equal to two Republicans, his ideas of equality may be of great practical utility in aiding to relieve the State of her present inequality of representation.'

Answer to Rev. S. M. Houston.

REV. S. M. HOUSTON, Sir: The spirit and letter of your communication have laid a painful necessity upon me thus to address-yon, omitting the fraternal title of brother ^Nor can I comprehend how you can call me brother, when I consider your third proposition. 1 will analyze this in its. proper place.

A

As to those "serious' charges against some one," I simply remark, that, they had no reference to your church as a whole. There is a portion of your church as well as of the Baptist church becoming more ultra and exclusive. I don't mean the Campbellite and Baptist churches

:of

Crawfordsville, but tbe leading organs of those churches in the various parts of the country.'

You know, or ought to know, that there has been quite a discussion in some of tho Immersionist papers of the country as to admitting Pedobaptist preachers into the pulpits of Baptist churches, or having any fellowship with Pedobapsists. Ihese are the ultraists, sir, that I refered to.

I am happy to learn that your church is no longer close communionists. This is an encouraging sign of improvement. Close Communionism is a leaf from the Upas tree of Popery. It says, I alone am ho ly, stand thou there, thou uncircumcised Gentile, while I eat at the tablo of my Lord.

I will now notice your second and third propositions. In your second proposition you admit that the word baptidso has more than one meaning. I would bo quite, glad to know what other signification you consider it to have than immersion. From the restrictions which you throw around it in your third proposition, I think sir, that you will have some troublo in making yourself clearly and fully understo od at this point.

Your third proposition is as follows:— "He that stands before his congregation with his Bible in his hand, and knowing the meaning of tho woid baptizo, and teaches his people that baptizo moans to sprinkle, in its primary or legitimate sense, or in tho neighborhood of it, is gulling the people, and his 'ignorance or temerity ought to be rebuked.' Now, sir, I blush for your consistency and sincerity, when I read such a wholesale allegation and proscription as this against all the Tedobaptist ministers of the world. You know that we all teach that laptidzo means to sprinkle as well as to immerse. And you ought to know that almost every Greek Lexicon of the world teaches the same truth. And you say that we are "gulling the people,"—deceivers, hypocrites, teaching the people what we know to be false! And we "ought to be rebuked for our ignorance«or temerity!" And you will call such a man brother, will you, "in tho good hope?" O. consistency thou jewel! Sincerity, thou art covered with blushes! When I am able to hurl such an a.ccusition as your third proposition is against any man, I shall no longer call him brother. When I call a man brother, I mean what I say.

You call upon me for an explanation, simply because the impression had gone out that I meant your church when speaking of ultraists: But with all the sang froid of a paid pettifogger you can without covsi^r apology tell me to my face that I am "gulling the people," and "ought to be rebukod" for it. And yet you can call me "dear brother!"

It has been a matter of somu surprise to me that I could not in my own pulpit, and to my own people, preach upon any subject in the Bible, without having my sermon taken into another pulpit to bo misrepresented. And even when I write, there aro those to bo found ready to misrepresent me. 1 don't know whether you designed it, or whether it was your want of a knowledge of good English but sir, I would

MR. EDITOR:—Tho letter of Mr. Wallace, which appeared in your last paper, seems to hare pleased many of your readers very much. Tbe spirit of resentment which the Captain manifests at the idea of being considered but a fraction of a man, seems to indicate that he may be relied on as considering one man equal to another politically.

understand that I have written

no letter in which I "excused or apologized" for the sermons I preached on baptism. Mr. Bowls had made some mistatemnnts in his pulpit with reference to my sermon, and I wrote to him to make an explanation not an "apology." I am in very poor health, but in the very best Of humor and spirit. I enjoy richly the baptism of the Holy Spirit. May God bless you, and

you the truth in all things. And may we meet where truth is pure and unmixed. Yours &c.

REMOVAL.-—A. S. AUGHES has removed his Daguerrean establishment to the room in the west end of Empire Block. /Third story, over Cox & Co?' Advertisement came iu too late for insertion this week.

Later from Kansas.

THE DIFFICULTIES AT FORT SCOTT. We learn that Mr. E. B. Whitman, of Lawrence, now in our city, that the ravages of Little, Brockett, Clark and the other murderers now concentrated at Fort Scott, have finally broked up all the settlements on the Marmaton and Little Osage Rivers in Southern Kansas, and that all the families, both Free State and Pro Slavery have abahdoned that part of tho Territory. Mr. Whitman went to Lecompton shortly before his departure, carrying evidences of the state of affairs at Fort Scott to Governor Denver and requesting him either to bring the depredators to punishment, or to remove the company of troops under whose protection the Ruffians were spreading terror among tho settlers.

The Governor stated that the troops were placed there not to be participants in any difficulties that might arise, but to protect tho land office, and that he would have them—-Company L, consisting of the very dregs of the army—removed, and another sent from Fort Leavenworth in its place. At latest accounts no such movement had been made, and the reign of terror was uninterrupted. The probability is that the citizens of the other Free State settlements will arm themselves and clear out the Fort Scott den, troops and all— using the most concise arguments necessary to that end. The troops took the recent flogging they received at the hands of twen-ty-five squatters very meekly, and perhaps they can take another the same way. The Ruffians have ordered Judge Williams, of the U. S. District Court, to leave that, part of the Territory.

LATER FROM UTAH.

ST. Lous, May 16.—Tbe Republican received dispatches late last night, stating that an express reached Leavenworth On the 13th from Camp Scott with dates to April 10th, bringing intelligence that the Mormons had laid down their arms.

Gov. Cummings, on the invitation of Brigham Young, entered Salt Lake City without an escort. .Many Mormons had gone to the southern part of the territory. The women and children were preparing to follow.

ST. LOUIS, May 17.—The steamer Lucas from upper Missouri, which arrived here last night, brings no further particulars of the Utah news telegraphed yesterday.

Gen. Smith had not reached Leavenworth when the Lucas left. The Kickapoo correspondent of the Republican says that tho bandits in the neighbordood ot Fort Scott, Kansas, number two hundred and fifty, commanded by the notorious Capt. Montgomery, and are thoroughly armed and mounted on fleet horses. They defy the United States troops and swear they never will be taken. Upwards of ono hundred and fifty families have been robbed and driven into Missouri.

Three hundred troops composing the first detachment of the 7th Infantry left Jefferson Barracks yesterday for Leavenworth.

Gen.Harney arrived at Leavenworth on the 12th. Secretary Hartwell left for Utah on the 18th.

A dispatch dated Leavenworth 14th inst., states that the news from Utah is unofficial, but a private letter received by Col. Rich at the Fort corrobrates the statement, and it is universally credited at Leavenworth.

Gov. Cumming entersd Salt Lake City on the 1st of April, and the army was in readiness for immediate action, in case of emergency.

Immense Conflagration!

Machine Shops of the New Albany and Salem R. R. in Ruins!!!

LOSS $150,000 TO 8250,000.

NEW ALBANY, IND.,) FRIDAY MOUSING, May, 14. About one o'clock this morning a fire broke out in the machine shop of the New Albany and Salem Railroad Company, in this city, which spread with 6uch fearful rapidity that it was impossible to save anything contained therein, and in less than an hour the entire buildings, covering a square of ground, were in ruins. Thero were seven locomotives in the round-house at the time and were all greatly damaged, probably to at least half their value.

The loss to the Company in buildings, locomotives, patterns, machinery&c., cannot be less than $150,000, and may reach $250,000, with not a dollar insurance, so far as we could learn. Fortunately there was very little work under way in the shops, or the loss would have been much greater.

The fire wa3 evidently the work of an incendiary. The engine which brought in tho one o'clock train, had just been put in the engine house, when, (as we understand the watchman to say,) the flames broke out in several places at the same moment This locomotive was immediately run out and consequently escaped injury.

This is the most destructive firo that has ever occurred in our city, and one from which we will not soon recover. It is most disastrous in its effects upon the company under their already great embarrassments. They will probably not attempt to rebuild at present, but merely establish temporary shops hero for doing the necessary repairs required by the cars and locomotives. At least one hundred and fifty men will be thrown out of emplyment by this disaster.

There aie only two locomotives now at this end of the road, but we loarn that they still have a sufficient number on the road to keep the regular trains moving, though some disarrangement may occur for a few days.7.

The firemen were' promptly on tho ground and worked with a hearty will, but labored under great disadvantages from want of water. They rendered some service notwithstanding, by playing upon the locomotives, thereby preventing their entire destruction, and also succeeded in saving the old round-house. The latter, however, is of very little value, compared with the other buildings. ,.

VIOLENT TORNADO!

Eight Persons Killed!

AND SEVERAL SERIOUSLY INJURED! ST. LOUIS, May 15.—A violent tornado on Thursday night blew tho passenger train on the Chicago, Alton and St. Louis Railway off the track at Lexington, 111.— Several persons were seriously iujured.

The towns of Lexington, Peoria Junction, and Towanda, suffered severely.— Half the houses in them were prostrated, and three men were killed at Towanda.

Yesterday another storm of like character passed- over a region between Bloomington and Springfield, doing^ much damage.

A large number of houses in Elkart and William&ville were demolished—one of them falling on and crushing a family of five persons to death.

Kansas Press on the English Swindle. [From the Quindaro Chindowan, May 8.J The uufair submission of the Lecompton constitution will not shield it the people will strike through the ordinance to bury the lance of their just indignation deep in the heart of the swindle, and thus struck down, it will be trampled into the very earth, whilst its memory, like the ghost of Banquo, will torment the .party which countenanccd its creation and cherished its transient being.

[From the Lawrence Republicnri, May C.] As we go to press, we learn that the Lecompton bill, as reported by English from the committee of conference, has passed both blanches of Congress—in the House by nine majority.

Lecompton is, therefore, passed—provided the people of Kansas vote to aceept a proffered land grant, otherwise we remain in a territorial condition until we have 93,000 inhabitants.

Of course we will remain a territory!

[From the Leavenworth Times, May 6.] Our duty, as it appears to us, is plain though it be painful. With that ilevotion and magnanimity, characteristic of the Freo State party, we should drop all thought of existing State Government go, like one man, into the election under the English bill, voto the land bribe, with its Lecompton appendage, into eternity, and then urge forward emigration, so that before another year rolls around, we may count a population guaranteeing our admission into the confederation even undur the high handed terms of the English bill. [From the Leavemvorth City Ledger, May 6.]

It now remains for the people of this Territory to decide whether they will accept the bribe offered to them by Congress, or reject it, and with it that budget of villainies, the Lecompton constitution. We have too much confidence in the integrity of the people of Kansas to believe that they will accept any such proposition.— We believe that they would rather remain a Territory eternally, than come into the Union under such insulting and degrading conditions. What! be bought up like a flock of sheep? Sacrifice our principles, for the triumph of which we have been so earnestly contending, for a fine slice of the public land? Away with such an idea.— It is a libel alike on the good sense and patriotism of our people—a miserable subterfuge, a flimsy trick for stifling the popular voice. Mr. English and the other professed anti-Lecompton Democrats who favored this substitute have indeed won for themselves a great name. But what a name! Fit only to rank with the Judascs and Arnolds—to be covered with imperishable infamy. We are assured, nay, we are confident, that the people will administer such a rebuke to Mr. Buchanan and his satelites as will make them tremble in their shoes. [From the Leavenworth Ledger, May 6.

Having found that threats alone are insufficient to curb the people of Kansas, our enemies have joined a threat and a bribe, and hope by this moans to succeed in their nefarious purposes. We would inform the administration and its minions that the government does not own land enough to buy up the people of Kansas. The originators and abettors of the movement are boasting that the inhabitants of this lerritory would barter their hopes in this life and the next for a grab at Uncle Sam's domain. What a pitiable mistake! We would rather consign ourselves to eternal poverty, than be the instruments of our own degredation. Who that mingles with the people, bears' their opinions and observes tho spirit in which they are expressed, can doubt as to what will be the result of that election? Our enemies may consider us fools and knaves but give us a chance at the ballot-box and we will return tho compliment.

Tins is A SOIIRY SIGHT.—After Macbeth had slaughtered Duncan, and while contemplating his double treason to his kjng and his guest, thus violating his political and his personal honor, he exclaims, looking at his,bloody hands. "Ibis is a sorry sight!"

The Philadelphia Press says those whoread over the proceedings of Congress of Friday, the report, as they are, of a violation of all honor and faith on the part of the people's Representatives, will be impelled to make the same observation.

Solemn assurances to high functionaries, written, spoken and printed, were ruthlessly broken.

Representatives wero compelled to change their votes and to violate their plighted faith, and where conscience failed to approyo, patronage came in to support them.

So far for the footprints of this unhallowed despotism. They are marked on the historic page as the evidences of a receding morality and a degenerating democracy.'—Madison Cour.

Mysterious Murder.

On Thursday last, tho body of a woman was found in a thicket about two miles from Francisville, in Jasper county, under circumstances that induced tho belief that she was fouly murdered. She was apparently about thirty-five or foity years of age, medium sized, with delicate and rather handsome features, and seven false teeth.— She was dressed with a black velvet waist —such as are frequently worn with a skirt of a different pattern—bnt without any other outside dress. She had on two or three white skirts—one of which was turned over her face—and silk stockings and gloves. She was without shoes or bonnet. Her clothing was of an elegant quality and neatly made. In examining the body at the Coroner's inquest, several shot were found in her breast, which warranted

tho conclusion that ehe was the victim of murder. It must havo occurred several weeks since as the.bady was in an advanced stage of decomposition. One of tho Conductors on the N. A. & S. Railroad recollects something about a well dressed lady getting out of the cars at Francisville ono night a couple of months since, who said she was going back in the country on business, and would return again in a few days. He never saw her afterwards, tho' of course ehe might have taken some otb-. er train. There is no other clue as to who the murdered woman was, and none whatever as to her murderer, or murderers. W» hope our exchanges will make a note: of her apperranee and dress, as above given, in order that it may lead to some intelligence as to who the- unfortunate womaa was.— a a

Dr. Hoback in Cincinnati. The most brilliant success seems to havs attended the practice of this celebrated Swedish Professor since his residence in Cincinnati. The most desperate cases of dyspepsia, scrofula, liver complaint, rheumatism, and cough are reported by tho sufferers themselves to havo yielded to his "Scandinavian Remedies." These medicines it appears, act chemically upon the blood purging it from tho elements of disease, and curing an infinite variety of disorders, by cutting off the supply of morbid matter which forms their basis,. Testimony to this effect, which cannot be impeached, is proffered to all who are hard of belief. See advertisement.

SPECIAL. NOTICES.

DISEASE OF THE LIVES. By this disease we understand an inflamatioa cither in the membrane or substance of the liver, known by dull pain9 in the right side, tho stomach always disordered, tbe yellow tinge of the skin, dry cough, tongue coated, costiveness, high-colored urine, and of a thick nature severe weakness aud severe pains in the head.

The quantity of corrupted humors in the region of tho liver, causes a defective secretion of th» bile. The liver when healthy, scrve3 as a filter to the blood, to seperate all impurity from it, or to refine it. Whpn diseased, it cannot purify the blood, which, when sent.to the lungs, brains,and other parts in a morbid condition, may causo Jaundice, Coustimption, Insanity, &c., and withholding the natural stimulons to the intestines, causes Dyspepsia, Piles, and other oouiplaints,a9 you perceive the direct way to unravel aud tear the whole system to pieces.

A patient, suffering from this complaint, slio'd resort to speed) relief. Yet there are very few medicines worth a cent in curing diseases. "We sny, use Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills, as they are composed of plants and roots they will bo found a sure cure for this painiul disease, because they purge from the body of those corrupt aud stagnant humors, and so dense and renew tha blood, which is every description of disease.— From 3 to 4 of the above pills, taken every night on geing to bed, will in a few days entirely relieve the body of everything that is opposed to herflth.

Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills are sold by 411 dealers in Medicines.
