Oreencattle Tragedy.

From Mr. Hough and also from an eye witness of the fatal affray in Green-| castle, we have learned the particulars of the rencontre, which occurred on Saturday last in that city, and which resulted in the death of Dr. Geo. W. Stockton, after lingering 23 or 24 hours

Generous-hearted souls they are sadly alarmed, lest Sam shall die, from wounds received at the late Grand Council in Philadelphia. During the session of the Council they shed crocodile tears over the dissensions that had crept into their midst, and were greatly afraid lest the party would be broken up, and their "dark lanterns" would go out. Don't be alarmed, gentlemen you'll have plenty of fun yet, if ycuited hastily the other way. lire to see Sam die. This very discord Stockton never spoke after he was contains the elements of success.

What was the result 1 The disaffected met in Convention at Buffalo, and constructed a Mongrel Platform and placed upon it this "fallen star" of Democracy, and arrayed themselves alongside of the Whig party to do battle against their former friends. The Election came and passed, and when the smoke of battle cleared away, there was left of the followers of Martin Van Buren scarce a corporal's guard.

Secrest then drew a knife and stabbed Stockton, who turned to get his cane, wfth which to defend himself. He succeeded in reaching his cane, but Secrest followed him up so closely that he was unable to use it effectively. Stockton retreated all the time, receiving a stab at almost every step, until he had been struck ten times he fell just as his brother, Mr. J. E. Stockton, had opened a back door to give him egress. As Stockton fell, Secrest turned and retrea-

The engineer, Mr. Idler, after he found that he could not manage his engine, became frightened and jumped off, and in the fall struck his head against a rail aad was instantly killed. A fireman by the name of Bazeet, who remained on the locomotive was killed, and a Mr. Robinson was badly hurt. We have not learned the extent of the damages done to the two locomotives.

Off the Track—Narrow Escape of a Railroad Train. About eight o'clock yesterday morning, an out train on the Boston and Maine Railroad had a narrow escape of precipitation into the river. Workmen were engaged in relaying some rails on the bridge between Charleston and Maiden, when a train approached, the time of which hid been changed unbeknown to the workmen. Three lengths of rail were up, and before any signal could be given, the train was rapidly approaching the breach, when the engineer discovered it too late to stop the engine. The speed, however, was checked, and the engineer and fireman leaped from the engine, having done all in their power to save the train. .Strange as it may appear, the engine passed over the three lengths distance, and came on to the rail again, without be-
