He hoped tht rote would be reconsidered. The question was taken, on reconsidering the vote and derided in the negative. Mr Crown of K. reported back the bill incorporating the Ohio river, Princeton and Petersburg!) plank road company. Mr Creathouse moved to ley on the table ; not carried. The bill then passed. On motion, Ihe House adjourned. Tragic Affaio. A very deplorable affiir occurred on the 20th iost. in Shrevport, 'between two highly respectable citizens of that place, Dr. Green, and Dr. D. Hester, late a representative in our Legislature, from the parish of Caddo. WeT cannot learn the (rigin of the difficulty, but the facts of the encounter are chiefly these: On Tuesday the 18th instant, Dr. Green, who had been for some time the practising physicinn in ihe family of Mr. Hester's father-in-law, approached Mr. Hester with a friendly recognition, tendering hia hand which Mr. II. declined, and at the same time Mruck Dr. Green in the face. Dr. G. drew back, and asked what it meant, when Hester repeated the blow, and at the same time putting his hand in his breast, as if to lake nut a pistol. Dr. Green then remarked that he wns not armed. "Then go and arm yourself," wa the reply of Hester. Dr. Green retired. A correspondence passed between the two gentlemen with reference to the settlement of their difficulty, but no satisfactory terms for a meeting could be agreed upon. On the Thursday following, (the parties not hain? b'-forc met,) Mr. Hester walked into Dr. Green's lfice, and seeing him sitting at a table, witli other persons in the room, fired a pistol at him the ball taking effect in the DiKrtor's side. Dr. Green then seized his pistol, which lay on the table near him, and shot Hester through (he bodythen threw the pistol at him, striking and fracturing his skull. Dr. Green then drew his bowie knife, rushed at Hester, and buried the weapon in his body, causing intai;l death a result however, whicli would have hern produced by the shot he had received. Dr. Green died cf his wound that night. We have received not the elightest hint of the cause of this savage affliir. .V. O. Dtlla, 25th. Qj- We extract the following from the Green River Whig, published at Hopkinsville, Ky: Self Murder. A man by the mme of Elias Kuigl of this county, killed a man by the name of JStarlett, in Trigg county, in a rowdy scrape, in the iii'iri'h of October last. Process from Trigg was phced in the hands of the Sheriff of this county for the arrest of Knight. He kept out of the way by eluding the officer, and was lurkin? about as a fugitive from justice until Monday night last, when the sheriff summoned several men and proceeded to the house where his family still continued to remain, to arrest hiin. When they approached the house the doors were closed again: them. They at length succeeded in obtaining an entrance. He was not to be found in the room below. It was, however, ascertained that he wns upstairs; and when he saw he was discovered he said if they would give him a little time, he would come down and surrender himself ; and as if preparatory to his coming dow.i nnd surrendering himself up, he handed down a rifle gun. It appeared afterward that he had another gtm with him. Instead of coming down, as it was expected, he deliberately drew ofToritf of his boot, put tin? muzzle of the gun to Lis liiad, his toe against the trigger, and liVrally bl'jw cjt his hrnind. Ths shrieks of his wife and the scene that followed was horrifically appalling. Ska1.ch for Sir Jchm FkamcUx. The editors of the N. Y. Commercial Advertiser learn that a letter has bten received in that city from L-dy Jane Franklin, in v.'hich she asks advice and information from the parly to whom it i addre is-1, as to ihe expediency of her coining over, wi'h a view to the arrangement of an expedition, at her own expense, for he rene wal next Sr'r' of the search for her ht husband. iSlie ineJitate the purchase and r-quipmeiit of two rnall vessel, with which vhc hopes a more successful result may bo obtained than that which has so c molly disappointed her, under the command of Sir James Ross."

Ibe very beauiitui poem, oy ine nun. j.o. ueid, wincn would make a pretty present to ar.y young lady of laute. C.ll at the Counting Room. There are but few copies left. "The Wirc-Puller at work." Under the above caption the Daily State Journal of the 16th, in one of its characteristic article, attempts to misrepresent and nhu-e the recent meeting of the I .- irr w i a Democratic friend of General Jo. Lane. We had I almost determined to pns- by the puerile assault Witbout notice when a friend handed us the following, which vc think is a sufficient antidote to the foolish assault of our neighbor. The Journal's notions of wire working and dic tation. Because some of his fellow-citizens have wri'ten a letter to General Lane, expressing to him. what every body knows, that he is the choice of the StateTor President in 1852, and adding that they be lieve he will, in Convention, be the choice of the Democracy of the Union, the Journal, with its usuil decency and good temper, gets up the eternal slang about wire working and dictation, and winds up with a touch of abue against Mr. Uwen, equally original and refined. As to wire-pulling, somebody, we suppose, must set every movement, however important, in motion And it might puzzle the small brains or the Journal to explain to us what more fitting place or occasion than the present could be found, to move in a matter that we sincerely believe will result in placing a cit izen of Indiana in the Cluu Magistrate s Chair. As to dotation, this was not even a nomination by the Legislature, like that of Gen. Jackson by the Legislature of Pennsylvania, it was a simple letter addressed to the General, lo assertain whether he would return among us. But if the Legislature had nominated him as their choice, what then ! Has not Indiana as pood a right as any other State to place before the Democracy of the Union, the claims of her favorite sou ! Or is he to ask leave of the Editor of the Journs.1 before she ventures on so bold a step! As to Mr. Owen, there never was a strong, one nal mind that did not find small minds to peck at and abtia it. We have nothing to do with Mr. Owen s opinion in matters disconnected with politics and his course as a nuonc man. iNenner nas tue journal. Mr. Owtn, we suppose, is by this time, too much accustomed to such slang to heed lh"e who go out of their wav to have a hi: at hitn. We remember tiiat one John Milton, whom the Journal may possibly have heard of as the author of a certain poem called "Paradise Lost," was subjected bv those who hated his Democracy, to similar abuse for som; opinions of his, on the subject of divorce, which were considered by his cotemporaries very heretical and improper, And that he wrote on the occasion, a well known Ode, of whicli the first verse often occurs to us, on such occasion as this. We quote it for the gratifi cation if the Journal, and hope he wont get angry. No one need ever wear a cap if it does not fit. I did but urge the age to quit their clogs, Uy the known laws of ancient liberty, When straight a barbarous noise environed me. Of Owls, and Cuckoos, Asses, Apes and Dogs." 0-The Richmond Palladium of Jan. 16, does great injustice to Mr. Elder, the Representative from Wayne, in reference to the State Printing. If the cause of this originates in an honest mistake, we ask the Palladium, as a personal favor to us, to exonerate Mr. Elder from the imputation which it rfffvkes against him. 7 Elder voted for by four of the Whig members, (who did not feel disposed to bebtow any measures of grace or approbation upon Mr. Defrees,) was not Mr. Elder the Representative from Wayne, but a person of the same name who resides III 11113 HIT.

Railroads in Illinois. A friend writes to us, from Illinois, under the date of the 14th inst., as follows: "I see by extracts from your papers, that consider able excitement has been gotten up, on railroad ques lions, n your legislature, neing somewnat aK.n io that which has transpired in the two last sessions ot - i i . the I.ris aturo of ih s State, and caused, no doubt as it has been, from the conflict of local feelings and in terests. You can rest assured in your quarter, that the Legislature of Illinois wiil, at its next session, grant n liberal charter for the continuation of the crreat Eastern Railwav. from oDDosite Terre Haute to Alton on the Mississippi, 2U miles above St. Louis this being a continuation and completion of the work originally surveyed, and one third completed by the State. iYo road can be chartered to cross this State, terminating opposite to St. Loxis, maugre all the ef forts that may be made to accomplish it." The foregoing is written by a gentleman who is no doubt well certified of the disposition of the people Illinois. A good many hard things have been said about our Sucker neighbors, on account of the disposition which they have manifested on this subject. If they are wrong we should take care how we confirm them in their errors by adopting their example. ,t7"The Journal is very much troubled because Dr. Siiecrod of the H. of Reps., can't approve of j the dishonest coure of Gen. Taylor. The time wes when the Journal would not have jumped upon the Doctor bo savagely, we mean, about Ihe period when the Journal said that "a regard f r whig principles forbade the nomination of Taylor." "A change has been going on" in the Journal's mind, and it feels like abusing every body who will not be equally in. consistent. But we hope our neighbor wiil be a little merciful to those who can't dance to the music of his hurdy-gurdy. Mints. Mr. Dickinson of tho U.S. Senate, has introduced a bill appropriating $.205,000, for the establishment of a Branch Mint at New York city, which on motion of Mr. Benton, was amended by appropriating $300,000 for a Branch Mint at San Francisco, California. The latter is needed ; but it would l c better, if it could be done, to remove ihe old Mini from Philadelphia to New York, instead of making a new Branch at the l.-ittur place. They don't work very promptly at the Philadelphia mint. C-'fliC Legishture of Mnryland.on the 10th in., elected ex-Governor Pratt United States Seuator, for the unexpired t'Ttii of the Hon.

A Regiment of Austrian soldiers, stationed ot Comorn, had rebelled and killed a large number of the principal officers. There is no other news of sufficient interest to tel egrapli.

X. Alb. Ledger.'' C7lf the above be true, it would seem to us a singular slight of the State Journal. Practiced to wards up, we thouhl consider it a most scandalous insult. The profit of the job of course is of no ac account, whatever, compared with the implied want of confidence which such an act betrays. Perhaps, however, the Regency at Washington conceived that ' a regard for uhig principles forbid" such a mani festation, on their part, as friendship and confidence in the Whig State Organ should have made impera tive. Perhaps this was th reason also, "why the Iv6t of Letters, of our'poälfjffice, was giyen to the litile Bawdy Organ, instead of the State Journal or some other respectable itSwapaper. We certainly admire the philosophic patience of our neighbor under such provoking tribulations. But "principle, my dear fel low, ah I principle is every thing !" Mr. Lane, one of the Representatives from PutDam, conceiving it to he his duty to -his constituents and to the State, made an effort to procure the pass age of a law, giving the public' printing to the owes bidder. For this reason, the last "Sentinel' contains an attack on that gentleman in its usual style. Mr. Lane should congratulate himself that he has provoked ihe ire of that paper, as its abuse is far more valuable than its praise. State Journal, IK7"AH that we said rrlative to JMr. L.ane was merely incidental, and was only said for the purpose of showing I hat he is a "very different person from Col.- Lane the President of the Senate."

The committee of conference, annointed to com- ; i - the disagreernen, lho tm) ,imise9 . r jric.ujr ..c.uWU, .-.. otPi ed, and the bill, passed. The difficulty was, as whether the same qualifications should be required for members of the Convention, as are now required for members of the General Assembly. The House ad i I ered to the requirement tenaciously, while the Senate ' opposed it with equal determination. Fears were entertained by many members of both Houses, that too many present office-holders would be elected, and that their personal interests might influence their ac tion in the Convention. But we think the people wil pf.be careful enough about this matter. They should certainly send no man office-holder or not, unless they feel confident in his ability and trust-worthiness. Hon. John I. Morrison. In our "running commentary" upon the Editors and Ex-editors, who have been present at Indianapolis this winter, we omitted to mention M r. John I. Morrison, the WashingfnQ I county Senator. Had he been named at all in our firmer article, we should certainly have placed him at the head of the list. It would be well for the people, if we had mr-ny more such men in the General Assembly; for while in mental gifts and acquirements he is excelled by few or none of his colleagues, he adds to these qualities an extraordinary degree of in dustry, watchfulness and fearlessness in the discharge of duty. This winter we believe, concludes the term of service of Mr. M., but we hope if he desires to return, that lis constituents will send him back again Without knowing anything about his wishes on Ihe subject, and without knowing whether sny other gentleman of Washington county may aspire to his place, we take the liberty of speaking of him as we now do, simply as a measure of justice to him, knowing, as we do, thnj he ha been a most capable and faithful public servant. 0-&)mebdy groans terribly, in the State Journal, been use in filling vacancies in the Board of Trustees of ihe Insane Asylum, Ihe Legislature elected democrats, instead of reelecling whigs. Il seems to us that there Is no bounds to the impudence or folly of some whigs. If there were, they would be ashamed to talk about such matters, in the face of the gross violation, by Taylor and his Regency, of their solemn pledges against proscription. That they are not ashamed, proves either their blind infatuation, or their utter dishonesty. How can, such men be trusted in any thing I Tax RtroRH is the subject of much discussion in ihe New York ci'y journals. The city pays much larger tax than the balance of the Stale, though it falls upon lese thin one fifth of the population of tbe Stab. The Sun propose to assess Ihe taxable property of citizens at its market value, instead of one half that sum, as is done, and ths taiation of property of non-residents, invested in the city, at the same rates as imposed upon tbe property of citizens. This, it says, would raise tbe lasabls property of ths city from 1375,000,000 to mors than $600,000,000.

The steamer Oregon, due from Panama, has not yet rcacbed San Francisco. The canvass of votes cast at tbe State Election, shows that about 15,0(10 were given in all, a smaller number than that of the citizens entitled to a vote, and much smaller than was anticipated. Peter II. Burnett is elected Governor and John McDougal Lieutenant Governor. The Members ei-ct to the U. S. House of Representatives, ore George W. Wright and Edward Gilbert. , Public order throughout the whole country is complete. Labor is becoming constantly cheaper at San Fran

cisco, on account of the great number of persons j coming down from the mines to spend the winter, and i seeking occupation in every department of industry. The urire tf ecrptnhlea here are enormous, owinf' to their scarcity, end, in fact, the necessaries of lifej generally are much higher than they were at this time last year. Heavy boots arc now selling at San Francisco at the rate, almost unimaginable to any one but a California n, of ninety-six dollart a pair. The growth of this city is still without parallel, even in the records of magic. It now numbers txcenly thousand regular inhabitants, to say nothing of the vast numbers of transient population. Commerce with other ports is growing more and more active, and the Bay no longer presents the spectacle of a desert of inactive ship ing. The departure of vessels during the month of November equalled the arrivals in number; and the trade with all parts of the Pacific H not only becoming active but regular, and is steadily undergoing a vast increase. The last of theoterland emigration thst is tobe expected this year, has crossed the Sierra Nevada. Tho rainy season has set in, and has made the ground among the mines, as well as the roads thither, impassable in many places. A great number of the miners are without their usual supplies, and have no means of obtaining necessaries. There will be much suffering if the roads do not become better. ' Freight From Stockton to the Diggings is seventyfive cents per pound. Flour at Stockton is 1 per pound, and other articles in the same proportion. The qua ntity of Gold dug still continues to increase The yield of the River Bare is great; they are as rich as ever. Companies are now being formed to work the strata of quartz, which are very rich in gold. Tests which have been made in San Francisco, give from one dollar and a half to three dollars' worth of gold from every pound of quartz. The steamer Senator, and McKim, are both now running on the Sacramento. The carpenters at Sacramento City made a strika for higher wages, as they were only paid $12 a day, whereupon the contractors settled the difficulty by raising their wages to 16. The weather here is delightful. Correspondence of the Journal of Commerce. Washington, Thursday, Jan. 3. Mr. Benton made a judicious and temperate argu menf and statement against the resolution of the General Assembly of Missouri, on the subject of the probable passage of a law exeJilding slavery from the territories organized from'.NeAjBIexico, and declaring that the State will, in that-case, seek redress by cooperating with other Southern States in withdrawing from the Union. The Missouri resolutions also pro pose the adjustment of the territorial question, by the adoption of Ihe compromise of 1820 i. e., taking the line of 3n deg. 30 mm. ' " Mr. Benton declared that the resolution did not ex press the sentiments of the people of the State of Missouri; and le claims to know their sentiments from having been recently among.thern. Mr. Benton's remarks were directed against the nullification doctrine that a State can secede from the Union, and he de clared that (lie people of Missouri did not concur in t-hat doctrine they being a law-abiding people. The Assembly, he maintained, had made a mistake in undertaking to speak for the people of Missouri, and in pledging them to an-unconstitutional course. " He argued that the Constitution had provided rem edies for all grievances: and that the object of its tranters was, to substitute a legal mode for the adjust ment of difficulties, without a resort to the sword Mr. Atchison declared in reply, that the Senator's remark, that the Assembly had made a mistake, was incorrect and unfounded; that they had merely repre' sented the sentiments of the State, as the result would prove, should the occasion arise. Wasmsoton, Triday, Jan. 4 Mr. Cass brought forward, today, his resolution proposing an inquiry into the expediency of suspend ing diplomatic intercourse with Austria. The per eonal fitness of Col. Webb he did not take into consideration; but his precipitate departure for bis mission on the eve of the meeting of the Senate, pre sented an insurmountable obstacle to his confirmation He did not understand this flicht from the Senate Mr. Letcher had left Kentucky on his Mexican mis nn the 22d of Dec, and, said Mr. Cass, he shall never have my vote to remain there. The idea that, by in curring expenses, an obligation was imposed on the Senate to confirm appointments, he would rebuke: and he rejoiced that, while we had it in our power to ex press our sympathies with popular progress, we were a ho enabled to rebuke the greediness for office which was never so conspicuously displayed as now. Mr. Scw.rd, while he complimented the liberal and fin Lshed speech of the Senator, regretted that Ihe Sena tor had complicated with its animadversions on the distinguished gentleman who bad been sent on foreign missions. Such att attack was more fit for the secret session, whereat woujd he properly met; and he had it in his power, on a 'proper 'occasion, lo vindicate one of them from the charge of a precipitate night from the Senate. Domestic reasons, which it was not possible to state here at thie time, and could only be stated in a confidential session, had hastened the departure of one of those gentlemen, to whom lie professed the most warm and most devoted friend ship, and unswerving personal attachment. Mr. Cass again declared, that on the score of fitness, there was no objection Vt CoIoneT Webb; but if he were a Frank lin or a Jefferson, he would not continue the mission Mr. Foote made some remarks on Mr. Seward's cham pionship orthe administration, and adverted.'in terms of censure, upoj) JlrToewsrd a consultation with the ' rresident and members of the House, on the las night of the late session on the territorial question Without being a member of either house, Mr. Seward Vndcrtook to control both, and procured the rejection of Mr. Bright' proposition and the adoption of Mr Webster'e. If it should be found that Mr. Seward correctly represented the views of the President, in , approving Mr. Webb's course, in pocketing his outfit m and hurrying out of the reach of the Senate, then the President would be held in contempt by the whole people of the United States. In every print on the Continent, where Webbs nomination was mentioned there was an expression of disapprobation. It was denounced from one part ot the Continent to the oth er, by all parties. The President knWthat the nom ination was 'one not fit to be made;w'h'e knew that it would be offensive to the whole nation ; and yet waa he to approve of Mr. Webb s flying precipitately from the judgment of the Senate flying almost before the very face of the Senate. He commented, too, on the admission of Mr. Seward, that his judgment, in this matter, was swayed by his feelings of fervent devotion to James Watson Webb, the editor of the New Y- rk Courier and Enquirer. The devotion was so great as to prevail over all considerations of public interest, in the immunities, the independence of the Senate. It might bo so that the. Senator from New York was influenced only by a feeling of friendship. But, if censorious, he might say that the Senator, if he felt friendship, owed eratitude too; and he was well Informed that this friendship was of recent origin a reciprocal attachment that had suddenly sprung up between two youthful hearts, that were never suspected of being influenced by cold political calculations. This infantile passion sprnne up on the occasion of the appearance in the New York Courier and Enquirer, of an article commending Gov. Seward as the fittest man in he country for the Presidency in 1852. Prior to a recent day, nothing had ever appeared in that paper which manifested any particular regard for ihe Senator from New York. But the Senator alluded to delicate domestic cir m.f.n wi,;,i.i,.j.n Mr Wehh' den rtnrn. and which could not be stated. If they could not be stated, they ought not to have been mentioned. Unless the Senator can now state them, it must be conaidered by every one, that really Mr. Webb is the most unfortunate man in his domestic relations in the whole country.

Mr. Hale said, as a wide field of discussion was' opened, embracing the concerns of Austria and of General Webb, and as the resolution might be smothered in the Committee of Foreign Affairs, he would move to postpone its consideration till Monday, when he would, have a few words to say. This waa agreed to. For the Indiana Stat SentuuL A Dream. A vision of former jeart. a tale of the times that art fast. OSSIAK. BY .JOHN S. REID. When slrrp had ealed with leaden seal The silent watches of ibe l ight. Afar thro' realms of woe ir weal. My spirit took her seiial flight. The pair, with all i' charm so bright, Tht future, brighter still by far, Roe on my fancy, and thrir liht IlluraTd my dieam like mi'luiht's star. Methooght I plsyed in joyous glee,

Deneath my old ancetial Irre ; I heard Ibe hum of mountain bee. And felt ihe breath of Summer's breeze i Like one who far at oceau ees His long wished pun, snd home so dsar So I entranced, oo bended knees, ' Breathed forth my warm and fervent prayer. With joy I climbed the mountain's brow, And loamed ahme ihe silent gleo. Tbe pat the psl was with me now, That pmt which ne'er can be again. Here lay my Grand-Sire's bioad domain, Hi cattle crey, its frowoin towers ; Once deemed ihe piide of warlike men. When chieftain tuled with lawless powers. Beside me stepp'd a gentle step, A milk-white hand was locked ia mine A lovely eye with fondness wept, A lip that wbUpered ever thine, A lily dipped in io?y wine, Was her yuiing, oit and blooming cheek ; Her form was straight as lender pine, And oh, her eye was mil.l and meek. With lip she wtlcom'd my leiurn. With eye she blamed ray long delay t Yei knew not why shoo Id Moina mourn. Or why her heart was now so gay. We talked and toyed till evening's ray With ciimson punished all the wet And only tore ouroeives away, -When nature hushed the world to rest. The rcene had changed. I dieamed againMethougbt I stood midst cbaich-yard slooci Beneath me slept the foimt of men. My steins weie on their crumbling bones Tbe night bat fliHed thro' the gl.Kjrn. Tbe screech owl round me flapped her wing Beide me yawned a new maile tomb. Awaiting for some flower of piing. I heard the solemn dirge's swell, Tbe lone, low wail of mourning Mends, The dull lolled sound of muffled belt. The moaning of the midnight wind. Dull thru the cloudt pate Luoa beams. Like funeral limps the siais appear. By fits and staits the ligntuing elesms, As uighl assumed bei mantlcdiear. Lonely and lone I sought (he path, Which led me lo the sacied fane To t;aze upon ihe fce of death, And weep with mourning friends again. 'Tis sweet to soothe the breast of pain. And mourn with those who silent weepi Tbe downcast beait with aid otiin. Arid stiew with flowers the bed of sleep. Tw he, 'twas her, my loved my own. Clad in ihe cerements of 'he tomb; Cold weie her lips as winter's stnoe. Her cheek bad lost its roseate bloom Her eye, alas ! was wiant in gloom. Her i ulM ss hind hy by her side. And son the rnx would d-rk entomb. She who I dieamed would be my biide. I could not weep, I could not speak ; Like one enhanced I gazed around j I only saw ber pallid cheek, 1 nly beaid the death-bell sound Grief deep, unmingled grief profound, Ciushel my lone brail and smote my biain I prayed fir teat. but none were found To soothe my woe or ease my pain. Struggling with fear, and g'ief, and woe, I wiithing IobsM in midnight's dieara ; And waked not till tbe orient bow Of Pbcrjbuj shot his earliest beam. I waked but 'twas not all s deam. My tiemblioK beait siill thiobb'd with pain. As Memory painted bill snd stream, I waked but dared not sleep again. Wbat is this subtle, restless thing. Which wakes in man when matter sleeps Which flies as if with angel's wing, And thro the psst her pinion sweeps f Eaith's darkeat gloom, the ocean's deeps. Ate open to her pieicing eye. Alas ! none knows, save be who keeps The secrets of Eternity. Qr The following impromptu lines, addressed by Mrs. A. L. Rütür Defocr to Mrs. S. T.

At an early hour yesterday morning, a the freight train of cars, attached to the great locomotive that is usually kept upon the inclined plane, commenced descending from the Upper Depot, North Madison, the coupling b it, by which the train was connected to the locomotive, broke, and the cars bebegan to run down the plane. The rails upon tha track being wet and slippery from snow aud rain, the wheels slipped, rendering the brakes almost entirely useless, and the train, consisting of ten or twelve heavily laden cars, descended at every moment with fearfully increased velocity. The men who had the train in charge stood each manfully at his post, until the conductor, finding all efforts fruitless, 4nd seeing nothing but the most certain destruction impending, gave them the word to abandon the train and save themselves, which they did without receiving any serious injury. At the curve, near Griffin's mill, some six or seven cars broke from the track, which, after tearing up a side track, used as a turnout, for about one hundred yards, were thrown over the bank, overturned and demolished. They contained some hundreds of barrels of fl ur, whicli, together with their other freight, composed of pork, lard, wheat, apples, chickens, &c formed as confused and mingled a mass as can well be imagined. The balance of the cars, keeping the main track, proceeded with terrible velocity up to Ihe foot of West street, where, corning in contact with another train of loaded cars, they were completely smashed to pieces, iron axles, wheels and strong timbers being broken into innumerable fragments. Fortunately this destructive accident was not attended with the loss of a single human life, and but one man was severely wounded. He was standing near the road, and, as the cars rushed by, some of the timbers, which were flying in every direction, struck him and broke his thigh. The loss of property is great variously estimated at from ten to fifteen thousand dollars. The exact amount will not probably be known for some days. Midison Banner, IS A. A Tough Job.
