A Faction, not a Party.
It has been observed that in most, if not
ail, of the loyal papers, the political organi
zation which supports the claims of Major
Genoa? McCuELLAN to the Presidency is
styled the "Democratic" party. Such a
term. applied to such a body, is most cer
tainly a misnomer. "A party," says
BlinKE in his Present Discontent, is a
body of men united for promoting by their
joint endeavors the national interests, upon
some particular principle in which they are
all agreed. — (Works, vol. ii., p.Nou - ,
if we apply this definition to the order of
politicians which stands on the Chicago
platform, we shall find that in not one single
particular will it bear the test. The ad
herents of this so-called party are not
" united ;-' for while they are all, indeed,
bent upon doing injury to the Union, and
are all eager for the spoils of office, they
are divided and disputing among them
selves as to the means by which this praise
worthy object is to be attained ; very
much asifa gang of burglars (if we, may
be permitted to dignify the Demobratic or
ganization by such a comparison), skulking
around a house with an eye to the family
plate, should quarrel as to whether it
were better to force the front door,
or sneak in by the kitchen window.
No one, save in the bitterest irony, could
ever assert that this body of men were en
deavoring to "promote the national inter
rests, — unl ,„ ror the jute
or a proud nation to surrender its honor
at tlia bidding of treason, or to kneel and
sue for peace at the hands 'of insurgents in
arms ; unless it be for the nation's interest
to take away two hundred thousand fight
ing men from the ranks of its armies, simply
because they arc black; to loose its zrasp
from the throat of a foe in which the death
rattle is already heard, and to confess that
the millions of money and thousands of
lives which have been spent during the past
four years have all been spent in a bad
-cause, and have all been spent in vain.
The third requisite for a party in the
above definition is; that the body of men
should have "some particular principle in
which they are all agreed)! Has the-so
called Democratic party any - fixed principle
upon which even one-half of its adherents
are all agreed If so, what is it I Is it
the principle of the Chicago platform,
- which demands peace at whatever cost ; or
the principle of General McCLE.Lt.vic's
letter of acceptance, which demands 'Union
at whatever cost ? Is it the principle
of one of its nominees, who asks to
share the fate of his army • on the
field of - battle, battle, or is it the principle of
the other nominee, who refuses to vote a
single dollar to pay a single soldier or
buy a single gun I Is it the prineiple of
their chief candidate - when he dictated the
order for the arrest of the Legislature of a
State, or is it the principle of that same
candidete When he prates in placid plati
tudes about liberty and constitutional
rights ? What is this principle ? Where
is it to be found ? "To hunt for a needle
in a hay-staek" is a homely proverbial ex
pression for a hopeless search, but that is
an easy task compared with the attempt to
find anything bright, sharp, and firm in
that dull and tangled mass of rubbish,
made up of treasonable platforms and the
epistolary effusions of a respectable but
weak-minded ex-rallroad superintendent.
What term, then, shall be used to desi,m
nate the Democratic organization ? We 7
would respecifully suggest that the word
" faction" approaches nearer than any
other to a correct expression of the charac
ter and objects of that body, and that it
ought to be constantly used at all times
when loyal men have occasion to speak or
write about their political opponents. "Na
tional interests," says BOLITRIMILORE, in
his Dissertation on Parties,( Works, vol. iii.,
p. 15, ) " would be sometimes sacrificed, and
always made subservient to personal inte
rests, and that is the true characteristic of
a faction."
As wild, be seen by the statement of a
correspondent, Senator WALL, of New
Jersey, declares that, in the event of the
Democrats being defeated at the polls in
November next, General .7AlcOnErsarr will
place himself at the head of a million of
men, and by virtue of military power de
<-!are himself President of the United
states. As Senator WALL hails from the
iurte State as General MCCLELLAN, he
.would know whereof he speaks. We have
:ooked upon General McGLELLAN as a
weak, timid, and irresolute, rather than as
a disloyal and criminal man, and however
h agrined he:might feel at:the disappoint
ment of his high anticipations, we cannot
Irelieve he would look with favor on any
:cuch revolutionary scheme, notwithstand
ing he has tacitly accepted a platform
pledged to revolution in certain cantin
g
envies. But suppose the opposite case.
Suppose General Meerma...xx should be
uilty of the anomaly of placing himself
tit the head of an army, and suppose that
Any even numbered a million of men,
.c. ,, es anybody suppose that unpleasant con
, quencis would follow ? Does anybody
:5- 11 ppose that General MCCLELLAN, with ten
- 1 imes a million men, would ever accomplish
Anything? Possibly he would organize
- the force, throw up some earthworks, send
FITZ Jon PORTER adrift in a balloon, and
perhaps attempt to approach Washington
parallels. Further than this it is un
likely that anything very alarming would
.occur, and if these things should come to
pass, we may look for the denouement about
die year 181:0.
Tnn communication of " A Voter" should
:have been sent to the Harrisburg Teielpaia.
If he will refer to the paragraph in The
Press, he will find that we do not speak our

Abatement of City Nuisance.,
The ordinance which passed the. City
Councils on Thursday, enumerating va
rious ptthlie nuisances, and imposing pen
alties in the event of their not being abated
is well-intended and generally sensible and,
. practical, but is capable of being im
proved. Tt has sins of omission and
commission, which ought to be removed,
ere the Mayor's official signature gives it
the validity of a local law. We shall
touch on a few of these points, confident
that others, with closer examination, may
discover more.
As to the regulation of awnings, there
ought to be a provision that no awning shall
be so placed as to cover the name of the
street, placed upon some corner houses.
Indeed, the name of a street is so seldom
so placed that strangers ought not be de
prived of the few opportunities thus afforded
of discovering where they may be. It
would also be advisable to have some cer
tainly as to the names of streets. In one
block, "Arch street" may he found in
scribed, and in the next it is labelled
"Mulberry street." So Sansom street and
George street are one and the same.
The prohibition of using handbarrows,
wheelbarrows, or handcarts upon the paved
footways of the city, except before certain
hours in the morning, ought to be accepted
as a special compliment by the fair sex,
whose fine clothes, expanded as they are
by crinoline, balmorals, and odious hoops,
are not much improved by Coming in Con
tact with these vehicles.
There is a very special order against suffer
ing or permitting snow to remain "more
than six working hours after the same may
cease to fall;" that is, to remain "on any
paved footway or gutter of the city, in
front of or adjoining any church, public
building, house, store, shop, stable, or tene
ment of any kind, or the adjoining side yard
thereof, or vacant lots." The occupier, or
the owner, if unoccupied, of such premises,
shall be liable to be fined for neglect in re
moving such snow. Very good—but,
though the Mayor should sign twenty such
city ordinances, this section will scarcely
be effective. The Mayor, certain other
city officials, and some of the judges (who
preside in the law courts), are the occupiers
of the State House, and, not within the me
mory of that venerable myth, " the oldest
inhabitant," has the snow been removed
from the front of the State House, which in
cludes the portion occupied by the Mayor's
own office. Moreover, the footpaths sur
rounding the remainder of the block called
Independence Square never have the snow
removed from them, and the footpaths sur
rounding Washington, Logan, Franklin,
Rittenhouse, and other squares are equally
neglected, when the snow falls. What is
sauce for goose, the old proverb says, ought
to be sauce for gander, and it is manifestly
unfair to fine private occupiers or owners
of property for not keeping their foot
paths and gutters free from snow, when
city property is allowed to remain
uncleared, until the rain or the sun
shine melts or thaws it, and when' even
the portion occupied by the Mayor himself
is sometimes snow-covered for weeks, be
cause no policeman has the boldness to do
his duty and summon the said Mayor be
fore a magNivate, to be fined as " occupier,"
for not having the footpaths before his
office kept dear of snow.
The 14th suasion declares it punishable
"to place or suffer to remain, on Sunday,
any goods, wares, or merchandise, or any
cask, barrel, or other thing, capable of con
taining the same, on any footwaY or high
way of the city." Surely, this prohibition
should be extended to allowing casks,
boxes, barrels, &c., to remain on the
footpaths at any time. It takes not
long to haul in or to wheel out such
articles, but we find thete, standing for
A7l the foot-paths of some of our
principal streets—especially Market, Se
cond, Third, and Front streets—in the
way of pedestrians, and, every now and
then, damaging wearing apparel by aid of
projecting nails. Sections 17 and 18 do
not fully cover the case.
The 10th section declares it unlawful
"To fly any kite in any of the highways
or, public squares in the city." The City
Councils are probably not ignorant that a
great deal of kik-flying is of daily occur
rence in some of our highways—especially
between the hours of 10 and .1, in Third
street, and in Walnut street, between Second
and Fourth_ No prohibition, we suspect,
will abolish that.
Several sections are very properly de
voted to obtain the cessation of the danger
ous and absurd, as well as childish, practice
of having fireworks, gun and pistol shoot
ing, and so on, within the city limits on
any occasion or pretence. It will be very
difficult, but not impossible, if the police
do their duty, and are sustained in doing it
by the authorities, to break down the evil
habit of celebrating Washington's Birth
day and the glorious Fourth of July in this
ißery manner. It ought to be done, how
ever.
The ordinance, though imperfect, is well
meant. Some obvious evils, which may be
easily dealt with, are left unnoticed. Titre
ought to be provisions that the passenger
railiVay companies should keep their rails
on an even level with the causeway; that,
in winter, they should - keep the .s.treet-ero:scs
- swept. clear at their own proper charge,
and that the use of salt as a snow-dissolver,
should be prohibited. The nuisance of
pavement washing, at unseasonable hours,
Fliould have been dealt with in thir- ordi-
nonce. After years of remonstrance, re
proach, and request, from THE PRESS
("alone we did it !") Mayor Iluxox ordered
that, during the five summer months of the
year, May to October, there should be no
pavement washing. This regulation was en-
forced, but in the remaining seven months,
October to April, both inclusive, the
Biddies and the darkies indulge in
the dirty cleanliness of inundating the pave
ments with water, at all hours—kindly pre
ferring from 11 to 12 in the forenoon,
when the streets are most thronged. We
have counted, in that hour, with a hard
frost setting in, thirty-two distinct cases of
pavement-flooding and pavement-scrubbing
in the three blocks in Spruce street, between
Fourteenth and Seventeenth streets. It
was painful to see thinly-shod women, alike
the fashionable lady and the humble semp
tress, compelled, every twenty or thirty
paces, to step off the footpath into the pud
dle(' highway—preferred to be dirtied by
mud to being soaked in water. We earn
estly entreat the Mayor to make some cor-
restive provision for pavement-washing
during the seven months which his present
regulation leaves wholly uncared for.
The ordinance on street nuisances,
though not perfect, is a step in advance,
and should be gratefully accepted as an
instalment. The remainder will be wel
comed whenever the Collective Wisdom
of. our municipal Parliament shall have
brought its great sagacity and wondrous
industry to frame it.
A COPPERHEAD NEWSPAPER raises the
poor little story that President LINCOLN
draws his salary in gold. As a matter of
information to the unsophisticated, we will
answer this petty falsehood. President
LINCOLN draws the money due him for his
unparalleled labors in the most trying pe
riod of our history in the currency of the
country. What is more, he has the whole
of his fortune, the greater part of which is
his salary as President of the United States,
invested in the national credit. It has been
his habit to leave one year's salary undrawn
from the treasury. Will our Copperhead
potemporaries bear this in mind, and re
member that the little MCCLELLAN is draw
ing his salary as a Major General without
drawing a sword or even handling a pen
in behalf of the country and the Govern
ment which has given him precocious and
undeserved honor.
Tam Union citizens of Lycoming, Union,
and Snyder counties have nominated for
the State Senate Mr. OnAuLns ii. SIERINER,
a gentleman of unswerving loyalty, ability,
and integrity. The nomination is generally
acceptable, and should be ratified at the
polls in October next with a handsome ma
jority.
LET US illage Cr.or.r.AN by his friends.
Ile has no more ardent and gifted admirer
than Mr. FERNANDO Wool). That gentle
man, in the course of a recent speech in his.
fhvor, says :
"The Chicago Convention's nominee and Its plat
form were apparently inconsistent with each other ;
and yet, for paramount reasons connected with suc
cess, it deemed such a contradictory position re
concilable with good policy."
"Therefore, haying none ether toimte for but the
man thus selected, and, having been a party to the
snort to select some other person, I am precluded
from opposition to him. Besides, if elected, I ant
satis d ied he will entertain the views and execute the
principles of the great party he will represent, without
regard, to those he may hi2nself possess. He will then
be our agent, the creature of our voice."
i. Mr. WOOD frankly confesses that the
whole Chicago. business is a swindle. He
places it iu a way that would do credit to
that eminent scamp, Mr. AUGUSTUS Tom-
LINSON. Unlike some of our conscience
stricken Copperheads at home, he does not
make any lame and whimsical apology for
MCCIMLAN and his platform. He admits
the scheme is a swindle, and frankly avows
swindling purposes. "For paramount
reasons connected - with success," the.schcme
is arranged. " For these paramount rea
sons," which we all - understand to mean
plunder, office, power—bread and meat for
hungry men—Mr. WOOD is willing to as
sume a contradictory position. In other
words, we will elect 3.IcOLELLAA . by false
pretences, if it cannot be done fairly.
IL Mr. WOOD assures us that the swindle
will not fail from any misunderstanding.
He tells. he is satisfied MeOLF.LLAN will
not allow his own opinions to prevent his
adopting the policy of the Peace cowards.
"I am satisfied," says Mr. WOOD. He has
no doubt, no misapprehension, no fear of
betrayal. WC - LELIA - is will do what these
men desire without regard to the opinions
"he may himself possess."
111. Still further to illustrate what MC
CLELLAN will do to satisfy WOOD and the
Peace cowards, we may recall Mr. Woon's
effort to induce New York to secede from
the Union, and his protest against the
action of the Governor, of, New York pre
venting the shipment of arms to the rebels
in Georgia. As a further evidence of what
the hero of the Chickahominy may be ex
pected to do with a reluctant Congress, we
may recall Mr. Woon's declaration that
the Congress of 1862 should be dismissed ;
that it was "to be done as OLIVER CROM
WELL sent home the Rump Parliament, by
Walking into Parliament and scattering it
to the winds."
Mr. Woon is satisfied ; but does the na
Lion partake of his satisfaction ?
TEE following sentence occurs in General
31 - cCLELLArt's letter of acceptance, follow
ing an exordium upon the many beneficent
advantSges of conducting the war upon the
kid-dove principle : " Thus conducted,
the work of reconciliation would have been
easy, and we might have reaped the benefits
of our many victories on land and sea."
That is to say, we have not reaped the
benefits of our victories, and the war is,
consequently, a failure. - Y et, in the same
letter, E eneral 11IcCLELLA:x has the ef
frontery to say : " I could not look in the
face of my gallant comrades of the army
and navy, who have survived so many
bloody battles, and tell them that their
lithors and the sacrifice of so many of our
slain and sonzoided brethren had been in
THE NEW Yoni Tnanown makes this
public and prominent announcement of
JOHN C. FREMONT'S intention to retire
from the Presidential canvass :
66 There have been many rumors of late that Gen.
John O. Fremont intended to withdraw his name as
a Presidential candidate. We are happy to be able
to state, on authority which we do not question,
that this is. true. A letter from him to that effect is
to be published within a day or two. Of the cha
racter of the letter itself we know nothing, but we
do knew something of • the character of the man,
and believing him to have been governed always
by the highest motives, to have had at heart always
the good of his country, to have been uninfluenced
by any selfish feeling or any partisan purpose, we
do not doubt that he withdraws his name from the
canvass because he holds that men, in
this great
struggle, are nothing and principle everything;
that true masnanimity, true dignity, and true
patriotism demand of every lover of his country
that all personal predilections, and even private
judgment : should be sacrificed where the salvation
of the country itself is in question."
TEE Rev. Dr. BRECKINRIDGE, one of
those saintly gentlemen whom devotion to
the Union is only surpassed by their de
votion to God, thus gives his views of the
peace MCCLELLAN would bring :
"We love peaCti—lOYo it for its own sake. They
love peace because they are afraid we will first whip
the rebels and then punish them. They want peace
that they may makenew conspiracies, and the peace
they propose is disunion peace, which means sepa
ration of the States and endless ruin to the whole
country. Ten thousand times better would it have
been for us to have acquiesced at first, and never
shed a drop of blood, than under these circum
stances and at this time to make such a peace as
that."
GENEEAL MCCLELLAN is now engaged
in an electioneering tour. He was last
heard from at Newark, N. J., where his
friends gave him an " immense ovation."
The Democratic clubs received him, and a
Democratic politician made him a guest.
Drawing the salari of a major general for
parading around with political clubs is a
profitable and cheap occupation. This is,
perhaps, what the ork? would call one of
the " iniquities of the Administration."

has found no means too ignoble or unjust
to aid its policy.

Tilt Boston Herald, a leading jourkal of
New Engla,nd, and among the most earnest
supporters of DouGLAs in 1860, denounces
the Chicago platform, and says :
" The success of the Chicago ticket would be but
the beginning of a series of disasters which would
come upon us, too horrible to contemplate. Forour
selves, we support no such doctrines and no such
ticket as that made and put forth at Chicago, and
which we believe will be repudiated by the people
at the polls,"
WE occasionally find charming bits of
reading In some of the Copperhead
speeches. This extract is from a speech
made in Washington on Saturday evening,
by a Copperhead orator :
In the President's grounds they have negro pic
nics. A lot of pleasant young negro women are
there. They have swings, and Old Abe goes out and
swings them. lam for peace, and lam for.the Oew
etitution and the Union. When we get in power
Clod will take care of the negro and we will take
care of the white man."
We presume that as long as people can
be found ignorant enough to listen to such
trash men will be found base enough to
repeat it.

to Liberty Mills live or six miles above, which they

HEADQUARTERS MILITARY D/FISION
OF THE MISSISSIPPI, IN THE FIELD,
ATLANTA, GA., Sept. 10, 1804.
General J. B. Hood, Commanding Army of the Ten
nessee, Confederate Army
GENBRAL : I have the honor to acknowledge the
receipt of your letter, of this date, at the hands of
Messrs. Ball and Crew, consenting to the arrange
ments I had proposed to facilitate the removal
South of the people of Atlanta, who prefer to go in
that direction.
I enclose you a copy Of my orders, which will, I
am satisfied, accomplish mypurpose perfectly. You
style the measures proposed " unprecedented," and
appeal to the dark history of war for a parallel, as
an act of "studied and ungenerous cruelty." It is
not unprecedented, for Gen. Johnston himself very
wisely and properly removed the families all the way
from Dalton down, and I see no reason why Atlanta
should be excepted. Nor Is It necessary to appeal
to the "dark history or war, when resent and
modern examples are so handy. You yourself
burned dwelling.houses along your: parapet, and I
saw to-day fifty houses that you have rendered un
inhabitable because they stood in the way of your
forts and men. You defended Atlanta on a line so
close to the town that every cannon-shot and many
muslcet, shots from our line of investment, that over
shot their mark, went into the habitations of women
and children. General Hardee did the same at
Jonesboro, and General Johnston did the same last
summer at Jackson, Miss. I have not seemed
them of heartless cruelty, but merely instance these
cases of very recent occurrence, and could go on
and enumerate hundreds of others, and challenge
any fair man to judge which of us has the heart of
pity for the families of a "brave people." I say
it is kindness to the families of Atlanta to remove
them now at once from scenes that women and
children should not be exposed to, and the "brave
people " should scorn to commit their wives and
children to the rude barbarians who thus, as you
say, violate the laws of war, as illustrated in the
pages of its " dark history."
In the name of common sense. I ask you not to
appeal to a just God in such a sacrilegious manner.
You who, in the midst of peace and prosperity,
have plunged a nation into war, 4, de.rk and cruel

sulted our flag; seized our arsenals and forts that
were left in the honorable custody of a peaceful ord

the very garrisons sent to protect your people
against negroes and Indians, long before any
overt act was committed by the (to you) hateful
Lincoln Government ; tried to force Kentucky
and Missouri into rebellion despite of themselves ;
falsified the vote of Louisiana; turned loose your
privateers to plunder unarmed ships; expelled
Union families by the thousands ; burned their
homes, and declared, by an act of your Congress,
the confiscation of all debts due to Northern men
for goods had and received I Talk this to the ma
rines, but not to me, who have seen these things, and
who will this day make as great sacrifice for the
peace and honor of the South as the best Southerner
among you.
If we must be enemies, let us be men, and fight it
out as we propose today, and not deal in such
hypocritical appeals to God and humanity. God will
judge us in due time, and he will pronounce
whether it be more humane to fight with a town
full of women and the families of a brave people•
at our book, or to remove them in time to places of
safety among their own friends and people.

COLLISION ON THE PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD
TWO CARS DESTROYED BY FIRE
The Doors Locked. and the Passengers Imprisoned

PROTEST OF THE SURVIVORS
[Special Despatch to The Press. ]
Heisurenuno, Sept. 21.—A frightful accident oc
curred on the Pennsylvania Railroad at halt past
four o'clock this morning. As the train which left
Pittsburg at 8.35 P. M. for this place arrived near
Thompsontown, which is about thirty-eight miles
beyond here, it collided with a coal train which was
standing upon the same trash. The consequenees
were terrible. The locomotive was thrown off the
track and utterly demolished, the tender was shat.
tered into fragments, and the baggage car was
jammed into the first passenger car, and afterwards
run up upon its roof. It is supposed that Several
persons were crushed to death by this, but the sub
sequent burning of the car leaves this in doubt.
The morning being quite cold, about half an hour
before a fire had been kindled in the first car. The
stove was instantly upset by the collision, and the
hot coals spreading over the floor of the ear, the
flames burst up and soon enveloped it. Frantic ef
forts were made by the passengers to escape. They
rushed to the doors but found them locked. The
key was probably in the pocket of the conductor,
who was on this car, and who must have been
killed instantly. Many of the passengers were
stupefied at theimminency of the danger, and made
but feeble efforts to escape. Some endeavored to
get out of the windows, but this was difficult, and
in some cases impossible. Some, after having
thrust their head and shoulders through the win
doses, were unable to get further, and found a slow
and torturing death from the flames. Others had
their limbs broken while getting out. By con
tinued efforts, to which was lent all the
desperation of dying men, the doors' of the
car Were then finally kicked open, and a few
escaped through. It is thought that not more
than twenty, if that many, escaped from this car.
Probably more than thirty were crushed or burned
to death ; but in most Cases their bodies are utterly
consumed, and it will be some time before their
number and names can be ascertained. The car
was burned to cinders. Of the conductor nothing
could be found, except his ticket punch, His name
was John Dlallison. - He is believed to have lived
in Middletown. A sergeant of one of our returned
regiments was in this car, and succeeded in getting
his head and ShOttldere Out of a %endear, hut meld
get no further. Every effort was made to extricate
him from his fearful position, but in vain, and the
heat of the fire finally driving away those who were
trying to help him, the poor soldier was left to
perish. When the car was so much burned that it -
fell to pieces, a head and arm rolled out, which, are
supposed to have been those of this unfortunate
man.
A lad of is years, from Johnstown, who had re.
cently enlisted, had his leg broken and his head cut.
Some of the bereavements suffered are terrible.
One woman lost three children, who were burned
in this car. Her aunt was also burned. One poor
boy, who was badly injured himself, lost his father
in the flames. Many parents lost their children,
and their agony exceeds the power of words to
picture.
The second car caught fire from the first, but from
this, although the doors were also locked, I believe all
the passengers escaped with their lives, but some of
them were badly burned before being rescued, Two
died after they were taken out. One was a woman•
A man had his legs completely burned otf. This car,
like the first, was burned to cinders. The other cars
(four in number) were saved by the passengers, who
uncoupled them and pushed them back out of danger.
Bad there been axes on the train manymore lives
would doubtless have been saved. As it was, there
were but three or four to be procured, and these
were not obtained immediately upon the occurrence
of the accident, when they would have been of the
most use. The engineer of the train, by some
miraculous chance, escaped. Some of the wounded
were taken to the Thompsontown station, and others
were distributed among a few houses in the vicinity.
Two army surgeons were fortunately upon the
part of the train which was uninjured, and they,
with a physician residing near by, rendered
most efficient assistance to the unfortunate passim•
gers. Other physicians were sent from here. The
coal train, the stoppage of which caused the acci
dent, was bound in the same direction, but had
stopped beyond its usual time, and had Only par
tially observed the precaution usual on such cars.
It is customary to place a man upon the track with
a light at a sufficient distance from the waiting train
t o give the coming one timely warning of the dan
ger. In the present case the man who was stationed
to give the warning was only about fifty yards from
his train, and the morning being very dark and fog
gy the light was not seen till too late. The engineer
reversed the engine, but the collision Could not be
prevented. The fault seems to rest entirely with
the parties in charge of the coal train.
The train which left Philadelphia at 10.30 on Tues
day night arrived at the scene of the accident short
ly after its occurrence. The Conductor of this train
Was very energetic in giving - , assistance, and is high
ly spoken of by the passengers. A train of wreckers
arrived at Thompsontown Station from here a little
before ten A. M., and by two o'clock, by very
active labor, the laborers had succeeded In clearing
the road of all obstructions, and had put it In work
ing order. Some of the cross ties were burned and
had to be replaced with new ones. One rail was
broken in two, and others were so bent as to be ran.

on their way to different places this afternoon, even

The fallowing statement we received from a gen
tleman passenger who was on the second passenger
car, and who reached the city last evening : The
train started from Pittsburg at about half past
eight o'clock on Tuesday evening, end proceeded
without interruption until about half past lour
o'clock yesterday morning, when the engine, having
whistled for down brakes, almost - directly thereafter
a collision occurred. The greatest excitement
prevailed among the passengers. The car had come
suddenly to a halt, and the passengers wore thrown
from their seats, and many of them were considera
bly injured by the concussion. A rush was made
for the doors of the car, which were found to bo
locked, The blase from the burning baggage
car was very bright and alarming, and every
exertion was made by the passengers to get
out. The windows were found quite difficult
means of exit, and many of the passengers were
Seriously injured by felling out of the windows on
their hands. Two of the passenger oars took fire,
and the screams from those within were alarming•
and terrible. The calamity from its commence
ment to its conclusion was but of about thirty ml
nuteS duration, but vne who has never been in a
situation equally dangerous can imagine how long
thirty minutes under such circumstances appear.
The lujered were properly cared for. The rub
bish was removed 55 Senn as pog.3lble, and the bodies
of two men ;one a soldier! and three children, who
had been burned to death, were removed. All the
baggage, in the baggage-car was destroyed. The
accident was caused by a collision with a coal train
going in the same direction In which the passenger
train was moving. The hind part of the coal car
which was struck was knocked Into atoms, and as
may be imagined, little was left of it. Many of the
passengers were asleep at the time of the occur
rence, and their feelings upon awaking to the mise
ry which surrounded them can be imagined. They
cannot be described. A train was sent from Harris
burg which brought the passengers to this
city yesterday afternoon. Our informant is un
certain as to the number killed and wounded.
The engineer escaped uninjured. The conductor or
the train was killed. The blame, so far as our in
formant could judge, rests entirely upon the persons
in charge of the coal train.
ANOTRER ACCOUNT
HAnnisnuno, Sept. 21 —The fast line east on the
Pennsylvania Railroad, due here at six o'clock this
morning, ran Into the rear end of a freight train
ganging on the track at Tlionspsontown Station,
Juniata county, which resulted in the death of six
and the wounding of thirteen of the passengers and
attaches of the train. The morning was excessive
ly foggy, which prevented the endneer of the pas
senger train from seeing the danger, and he only re
ceived the signal when it was too late to avoid the
collision. Efforts, however, to do so were made,
and the velocity of the train was considerably di
minished ere the fatal contact. The imputative of
the passenger train and two of the freight cars were
thrown front the track and perfectly demolished,
The tank of the locomotive remained on the track,
while the baggage and three passenger cars were
wrecked, and immediately caught tire and were con
sumed.
It is supposed that at least six persons, including
the conductor and brakesman, perished in the
flames, being unable to extricate themselves from
the wreck.
Immediately after the disaster became known
here, the Superintendent, S. D. Young, Esq., left
for the scene in a special train, accompanied by Drs.
Rutherford and Martin, with all the necessary arti
cles for the relief of the suffering. Physicians
were also in attendance from Thompsontown
and Mifflin. The wrecked trains wero promptly re
moved from the track and the trains are again run
ning on their usual time.
The following is a list of the killed ; John Malli
son, conductor of the fast line ; L. Imbrie, brakes
man of the fast line. The names of the remaining
four are unknown.
The wounded are Solomon Brooks, mall agent, of
Mifflin, Pa., internally injured.
Wm. Noterstine, of Johnstown, Juniata. Co.,
leg broken ; Catherine Sternden, Indianapolis,
scalp wound ; G. H. Abbott, Chillicothe, Ohio,
shoulder blade injured ; Wm. Jones, Downing
town, leg broken ; Temple Jones, of Downing
town, leg broken John Purpos, of Philadel
phia, leg broken and shoulder bruised ; John
Bruch, of St. Clair, Schuylkill Co., leg broken ;
E. M. Williams, of Baltimore, arm broken; Jones
Henry, of Milford township, Cumberland county,
Pa., bruised in abdomen ; Lehman Goldsmith, of
Philadelphia, leg broken ; Wm. Newmyer, of Alle
gheny City, injured internally; John Haveland, of
Cannonsburg, Pa , Injured Internally.
The wounded have all been forwarded to their
pima of residence excepting Mr. Abbott, who re-
Mine at Thompsontown.
The remains of the killed have been placed in re
spectable coffins, and will either be Interred by the
Company or held to await the orders of relatives.

Since Monday there has been a greater attendance,

REWARD FOR A MURDERER
A Mr. Thompson, cattle dealer, of this clty, was
murdered in Albany, last week, by some stranger,
who has thus far managed to escape the clutches of
the law. The dealers at Bull's head have opened a
subscription and, obtained the sum of fifteen hun
dred dollars, which is now offered as a reward for
the apprehension of the murderer.

applied through counsel, yesterday, for a vacation
of the injunction. Plaintiff's counsel not being pre

tain editorial notes of a pungent character.
THE DEATHS IN THE CITY

the cause of five deaths.

others to witness her control over the shades of
Hades. Periodically, it maytbe said, (without dis-
paragement to the present medium,) these potent
sorcerers appear in our city, tempt from voluntary
immurement the iong•haired and solemn-looking
spiritualists, seduce them into going upon the stage
as committees, and by their tricky ways leave them
deceived and laughed at by an unsympathiging pub-
lc. The new medium is positively genuine, how
ever, and has "no connection with the house over
the way." They are trying to make her the object
of a fresh sensation.
THE KEARSARGE

the receptlkon of her officers and men will doubtless
be upon an appropriate scale. It is proposed to
present Captain Winslow with a painting of the
naval combat in which he was the victor, and to
give the tars a public reception and dinner. The
latter idea is especially in favor among those who
understand what naval hard-tack is.
It is stated that Governor Seymour was not ex
