The Indutapolia papers continue to be largely occupied with the details of the te-nble disaster which occurred at the ..te Fair on Friday afternoon. The :te Sentinel of Saturday has the fo.-owiris: with reference to the cause of ti e accident: The caute of the accident cancot l-,p; deicrtainc" now. Jt ren:aiD3 for the coroner's inquest to throv light noon that toint. The boiler was a new cue, only fiuished a week ago, but wai leaking badly, it ii said. It was made at the Western ia:hioe Works, of quarter inch irOD, Jrom the Sligo Works, of Pittsburg, and was considered safe at a pressure of three hundred pounds to the square inch. Per0 on who were lookicg at it a few niisutc3 heloro the eiploion say that the water wa3 so low that when the lowest gauge was turned nothing but blue steam escaped; but Mr. Sinker examined the second ironVa fust before the accident, and Fays it wa3 flu witii water. Its con(Ution m this respect wiii uouimess . , - t r 1 1 l L.l he learned at the inquest I he cnginecr and fireman were tryiDg to get ud a pood deal of steam and were 1 kcemca tip very hot fires, and as the boiler is known to have leaked, it may have been that the water escaped much faster than tho engineer was awate oP. The explosion was predicted hv a number of ncrsons, one of whom told the engineer that it would burst before an hour if he did not look out, to which be responded 'fl d d n vou we are running this.' The gentleman walked away, and had fust reached the southern end ot Power Hall when the explosion took place. When our reporter started irom the race track to go over to Power Hall, a man running along re marked, "I'll bet that's Sinker's boiler, 1 told 'em it would explodo if they were ncrt careful." Several others made similar remarks. The same paper of A'onday est! mates tho dead at twenty, mostly from Marion County. It also con tains the following additional details: Thero now remains at Weaver's undertaking establishment one body and parts of three others. The body was saPDOsed to bo that of Lewis Wilson, but as yet no one has claimed it. Some one thought it was that ot Henry Gei.sel. but a dispatch was re ceived from him last night, announc inz his safety in Terre Haute. The fragments have not been identified. One of them has tho stump of an arm attached to it, and was at first thought to be that - cf William Dunninsr. head sawyer at McKendry & Lovecraft'a stave factory, but it was after wards identified as that ot John Slack, of Hob Hoy. who was in the city on Friday, and drew ninety dol lara cension money. JJunning is missing, but it is not known whether Slack went home or not. The other fraarinents are probably unrecogoiza ble. but there can be no doubt that they are parts of two distinct todies, and do not belong to any of the others we have named. Thi3 -ewell3 the dreadful list to twenty, to which one more, at least, will bo added, viz John Kennedy, a boiler-maker, who resides at .No. 215 West South Street, and whom the attending physician thinks cannot possibly recover. . ARE THERE ANYMORE? This is a question which, in all frobability, can never bo answered, t is a little singular that i;mong the dead there have been no children, and the theory has been advanced that such may have been blown entirely to pieces. Coroner Aired has in his possession nearly a bushel of fragments of flesh, pieces of bones, ear3, etc., which were found scattered all over tho ground. Whether these all belong to tho bodies found, is a question which cannot be determined. The men reported missing are gradually turning up, but there are several not yet heard from. AraoBg them is J. Ayr, of Milton, who was exhibiting a patent wheat drill. He was seen near Power Hall a few minutes before the accident by Mr. Lukens, with whom ho was associated during the week, but since then nothing has been seen or heard of him. His machine is still upon the cround, and, as he had been about closely all week, it does not seem likely that he would go away and leave it without saying a word. A young Frenchman, who hssjbeen working several weeks for Claries Ketwell, who lives about seven miles west of tho city, on the llockvillc lioad, came to tho Fair on Friday, and has never been seen since. Ho had partially served an apprenticeship as a machinist and engineer, and it is thought would be likely to have spent most of his time near the engines. His clothes and property are all at Mr. Ketwell's, and if ha had been going away he would certainly have come for them. There are others missing. Some of them may be killed, but we aro inclined to think they will all turn up. Men frequently away suddenly at such times, and do not think to leave or send word of their depirture. And men sometimes get drunk and stay that way for several days, entirely removed from the knowledge of their friends. Tho wounded, with the exception of Kennedy, are generally doing well. At the Surgical Institute there are nine, all of whom aro improving, although some, especially these who had legs fractured, are in a critical condition. Iniiiasm Items. Eight dollars per ton is the of hay at Terre Haute. price The Washington Gazette says there is not a gcoi school houso in that town. Dr. Pierce talked up the Rockport & Chicago llailroad at Washington on the 1st. The Mr. Vernon City Judge has been ousted by a decision of Judge Jones that no suoh office is known to the law. The Ferry franchise at Mt. Vernon has changed handi'. The new proprietor designs suppkntingthe old horse boat with a steam isrry boat. J. V.

burgh, for a short drive, and since that time has not been heard from. The New Harmony <Register> is out in favor of Judge Parrett as one of the Democratic candidates for Supreme Judge. Our understanding is that Judge Parrett has his shingle out for Congress. Twenty-eight head of splendid stallfed steers, averaging 1,400 pounds each, were driven through New Albany, Friday, for Louisville. They were fatted in Orange County and will bring seven cents per pound, the owner thinks, or $98 per head. In Dubois County, last Monday, Joseph Gates was pitched over a high fence by a mad bull. A broken leg was the principal item of damages. That bull was more successful than the Wall Street Bulls "making a raise." Apples are dull at ten cents per bushel in Crawford County, and peaches go slow at twelve cents per bushel in the same county. Immense quantities of fruit are being used in Crawford County for the manufacture of brandy. The Rochester <Spy> says: "The hog crop of Fulton County, for the year 1849, will be very short. The poor prospect for corn has induced most farmers to sell all their hogs but the few needed to make their own meat. Drovers are buying hogs here and taking them to the south part of the State to feed." The Warrick County Fair com- mences on Tuesday, 12th, and will continue during the week. Among the prominent attractions advertised are a balloon ascension and velocipede riding, by Miss Lottie St. Clair, who, the <Enquirer> informs us, is the only female aeronaut in the world. We presume the fair will be largely attended. Tom Boyd, of Jennings County, has just commenced a ten years' engagement in the southern penitentiary. Tom has been guilty of three rapes, He bought his way out of the first, and was court-martialed and sentenced to be shot for the second, but escaped through the injudicious interference of his officers. A WORD OF WARNING.—It is well known to the entire community that the mineral resources of many farms are being sold in our county. Under the name of "lease" the coal, iron and other minerals are absolutely <sold> and privileges granted to the buyer which would certainly, to a great extent, injure the sale of land. Any one wishing to purchase would naturally look to the records,.and finding each an incumbrance would hesitate, if not decline to trade. We make this statement with no intention of preventing a legitimate trade, nor do we wish to prejudice the rights of any one. We simply warn the land owners to look well to the instruments to which they put their names.—<Washington Gazette>. ===== THROUGH THE FAR WEST ----- XVII. ----- THE PACIFIC RAILROADS. ----- The Condition of the Union and Central Pacific branches—The RoadBed, Bridges, &c.—The Prompt Running Time Made from Omaha to Sacramento— The Rates of Fare and Charges—Do the Roads Pay?— The Great Value to the Nation— Attractions of the Route for Excursionists—Personals. Editorial Correspondence. SACRAMENTO, Cal.,Sept. 23, 1869. Having passed over the whole length of the line from Omaha to Sacramento, the readers of the JOURNAL will naturally inquire for my opinion on that mooted question, the condition of the two Pacific Railroads. I am not experienced in railroad construction, and hence cannot give the testimony of a professional expert. Neither have I examined the road-bed, bridges, trestles and culverts, having simply passed over the Roads as all passengers do. But all travelers naturally will form and express opinions in regard to the routes upon which they travel. My conviction is that both the Union and Central branches of the Pacific Road are well constructed, safe and pleasant routes. We left Omaha at 9 o'clock A. M., and four days and four hours continuous traveling, (excepting the break in the trip to Salt Lake), brought us to this city, exactly on schedule time <to the minute>, a distance of seventeen hundred and seventy-four miles; and this is the usual experience. The train is looked for daily in Sacramento and Omaha with more regularity than any of the trunk lines land passengers in New York City from Indiana. Our trip was made over this long line without any important delay in running out of time, with not a single alarm or accident, and the passengers arrive in this city, owing to the comfortable arrangements on the cars, without feeling fatigue or weariness. The bed upon which the track is laid is by nature one of the best, throughout almost the whole extent of the line. It is either sand, gravel or rock all the way, thus having at hand the best materials for ballasting. In the haste to push forward and complete the road some temporary bridges were erected, but these have mostly been replaced by strong and permanent bridges, and the work of finishing and perfecting the entire track has been pushed forward with vigor all Summer, and is still going on. During the trip I conversed with a number of experienced railroad men, in no way connected with the companies, and I found none who did not pronounce it to be in excellent condition for a new road. Passengers who pass over it feel no more fear of accidents than they would in a trip from Indiana to New York, and not so much as by some routes which could be named. On the Union Pacific, from Omaha to Promontory, the Pullman palace sleeping-cars are used, and from Promontory to Sacramento the Central Pacific use their own cars, of different style from the Pullman, made at the Wilmington Car Works, of the pattern used on the New York and Washington City Line, but they are all new and elegantly furnished. The eating-houses along the route are controlled by the railroad companies, and are much better than one would expect, off on the mountains and in the sage-brush and alkali plains. The expense of traveling is considerably in excess of the rates in the States of the East and Central West; but we may reasonably expect that they will gradually approximate to them. The first-class fare from Omaha to Sacramento was, when I came over, $110 in greenbacks, which was a material reduction over the first rate, and a still further reduction is promised. The charges for the sleeping cars, which are generally used by through passengers, are, to Promontory, $8 00, in greenbacks, and to Sacramento, $5 00

in gold, or $6 00in greenbacks, making a total of $14 00 additional.

The charges lor meals are usually from $1 00 to $1 25, greenbacks, and 75 cents to $1 00, coin. I cannot say whether the roads are paying or not. The travel and freights are considerable, but the line is very long, and the expenses of keeping it in order and operating it must be greatly in excess of the eastern roads. It passes through wide regions of very sparsely settled and much unproductive country, but there are tributary to it vast territories rapidly springing up into populous States, and rich in untold and apparently inexhaustible mineral wealth. The railroad is having a wonderful influence in developing this broad domain of the Continent; and the millions which have been expended and the lands which have been donated by the Government have been the best outlay which the Nation could have made. Itfshe is compelled to redeem every one of the bonds of the Union and Central Pacific Companies, and give them the Roads outright, it will be a cheap investment, if we consider what the Roads are doing and will continue to do for the development of this great countryh between the Missouri River and the Pacific Ocean. One of the most observing and intelligent politicians of this State gave me as his settled conviction that if the Parific Railroad had not been built, in a few years the Republic would have broken in two along the summit of the Rocky Mountains. Better it is to invest our hundreds of millions here rather than in spending them to purchase Cuba, or risk a war with Spain. Better develop the country which we have than appropriate our taxes to buy more lands. It would be well for our citizens who are accustomed to their Summer excursions to the east and north, to the watering-places and the large cities, to make this trip across the Continent. By another season it will be little more expensive than the usual Summer excursions to the east; and until it is made no one can have a proper conception of the greatness and glorious future of his Country. For magnificence of scenery, for Summer places of attractive resort all along the line, for intercourse with new scenes, peoples, and customs, and for ease and comfort of travel, there is no other route on this continent, or Europe perhaps, which can surpass it. Col. Hammond, the new Superintendent of the Union Pacific, at Omaha, is putting new life into the management of that branch, and gives promise of doing a good work, not only for the company, but also for the traveling public. At Omaha also will be found Mr. J. Budd. General Ticket Agent, an old Indiana railroad man, and a most genial gentleman, always gratified to meet his Hoosier friends. The citizens of Sacramento are now preparing to give the officers and original projectors of the Central Pacific a grand banquet, in evidence of their appreciation of the great work they have accomplished. While with a few people here there is a feeling of opposition to the officers and a disposition to envy them their personal success and fortunes, the mass of the citizens rejoice at their great triumph, and are not sorry that the men who had the courage to risk their all in the enterprise when it was of uncertain achievement, have realized handsome fortunes thereby. And the whole nation can unite in the congratulation. J. W. F. ===== Kentucky items. Horse thieves are operating extensively in Daviess County. Work has commenced on the Masonic Temple at Mt. Sterling. The Frankfort Public School opened on Wednesday, with 324 scholars. Mr. A. J. Casey, of Carlisle, has patented a roller harrow and cultivator combined. The new Catholic Church in Paducah will be dedicated the first Sunday in November. Northeastern Kentucky is in favor of the Hon. R. H.. Stanton for United States Senator. The citizens of Owensboro are taxed at the rate of $2 on every $100 worth of property. Hon. G. W. Williams, Judge of the Daviess Circuit Court, will shortly tender his resignation. The Owensboro <Monitor> says a heavy frost visited that region on Monday, slightly injuring the tobacco crop. It is proposed to make a new county out of the parts of Clark, Estill, and Madison that lie around the mouth of Red River. Mercer County has purchased the farm of Henry Bonta, situated six miles southeast of Harrodsburg, for a poor-house. George Botts, who killed Scott Johnson, about a year and a half ago at Mt. Sterling, was tried and acquitted on Saturday last. The premiums offered by the Daviess County Fair number two hundred and thirty, ranging from fifty dollars downward. A man named Bramlett was arrested a few days ago near the line of Boone Countv on a stolen horse belonging to Jo. McNees, of Lair station. Bramlett is in jail awaiting trial. A German named Philip Egger, wagon maker by trade, died on the road, near Birk City, Daviess County, on Tuesday last. His body was not discovered till Thursday. It is supposed that he died of a congestive chill. The following, sales were made in Carlisle on Monday last: One four-year-old horse, $124 one three-year-horse, $135; one four-year-old horse, f$130; one seven year-old mare, $110: one cow, $40; one yearling steer. $20 30. The Eastern Convocation of the Protestant Episcopal. Church of the Diocese of Kentucky will assemble in Cynthiana on Thursday and Friday of this week, the 7th and 8th of October. Bishop Cummins will preside, and is also expected to preach. Capt. H. I. Todd has sold the middle block of his extensive warehouse building on Main Street, Frankfort, to Capt. John Walcott, for the sum of $7,500. The eastern end of the building was sold some time since to Philip Swigert, Esq., at the same figures. Mr. James H. Davis, of Boyle County, has recently added to his fine herd of short-horn cattle "Barron Airdrie," by Twelfth Duke of Airdrie, dam Baroness Sixth, by Royal Oxford. Mr. Davis' herd is regarded as the finest in the State, south of the Kentucky River. Mr. Fisbbick. Deputy Marshal of Cynthiana, on Tuesday last shot a man named Berry, a dealer in rags and produce, in the fleshy part of the thigh,

in attempting to arrest him. The affair created considerable excitement on the streets, but no serious harm was done. A singular accident occurred in Maysville, cn Monday. Mr. Ramsey was driving a horse and cart up the

hillside, the cart being full ot coal, some of whicbufell out. Mr. Ramsey went back to pick up the coal, and and while he was away, the horse, which was blind, wheeled around and walked over a bank about twelve teet hizh. The cart and coal fell on the animal. Assistance was soon procured, and the horss, apparently un injured by his jolt, then pulled his load up the bill. The Lexington Gazette of Friday says: xne nnest collection oi 6iock that ever assembled upon a fair grounds in this part of Kentucky has een cn exhibition at our lair this week. Among the cattle breeders we noticed the Bufords. Alexander, Rennick, V anmeter, Richardson, Talbott and Warfield, of Kentucky. Mr McMillan, of Ohio, exhibited his fine herd hero and eot a premium upon it The hogs were ail very fine. Burkshires and Canada hoes seemed to be the favorites. Some of the porkers weighed GOO to C50 pounds, and owners of thi3 stock had the courage to ask more greenbacks for some of the little pigs, hardly old enough to walk, than it would require to make a sheet large enough to wrap themup in. But then the little fellows have a habit ot crow ing rapidly, and getting to be large and huze. Sheep were also present in goodly numbers and of good quality. DTJSXI2IG 3HUSHES.
