Upon one of our Inside papes will be found a telegram giving the details of the disaster at Mast Hope, N. Y., yesterday morning, tvblck Wu first announced in our yesterday afternoon's Ipbuc. This is the description of the catastrophe given by an eye-witness, published in the New York World this morning: SCENE OF THE DISAPTKK. The little town of Mnst Hope, a station on the Erie Railroad, one hundred and seventeen miles west of New York, was the scene about mid night on Wednesday night of a frightful dis aster, resulting from the collision ol the westward-bound passenger train with a freight train also bound west, which had been run npon a siding but not sulliciently far to clear the track U on which the passenger train was running. Iu consequence of this "neglect (he engine of the freight train presented an obstruction ngninst which the express train ran, plunging headlong at a rapid rate, throwing the en gine, the tender, the baggage car, express ear. smoking ear, one prfNscngcr car, and a Bleeping coaeli from the track, and almost demolishing them. The splinters and debris of the broken cars caught lire from the live coals of the loco moth c, nud the (lames thus kindled spread to the wreck, and had attained considerable headwoy before they could be extinguished. The engine was almost entirely destroyed by the lire, and all but the three last coaches of the train Were burned. In the smoking car were a large number of passengers, and those who were dis abled by the shock and unable to escape from the wreck were burned, some of them to death. EFFECT OF THE SHOCK. The passengers were thrown into the utmost confusion and alarm by the accident. The hour was midnight, and the majority had disposed themselves for such rest as could bo obtained on a railroad car during the remainder of the jour ney. The smoking ear was occupied by a num ber who had sought the vehicle for the purpose of whiling away an hour or so, and, by sitting up, enticing that repose which they feared they could not obtain otherwise; the occupants of the remaining passenger cars bad chosen their com fortable corners for the night, or had already sought couches in the sleeping car. Ihc train was dashing along at its usual rate of speed, the engineer probably confident that the track would be kept clear by those whose duty it was to attend to this business, and that his duties were merely confined to running the train. Onward the engine sped, dragging its train with living freight towards destruction. Suddenly the crash came. The engine was dashed against the locomotive of the freight train; the tender, baggage-car, and most of the remaining ears of the train were smashed or telescoped together, and all on board ex perienced the full effects of tliolrcadful shock. A SCENE OF TEKUOli. The sleepers were aroused from their slum bers, and those who were fortunate enough to . escape injury rushed for the doors to learn the I cause and extent of the disaster. The wounded, unable to move, were left without assistance by their fellow-beings, who, obeying the first law of nature self-preservation were almost frantic in their struggles to be first to make their escape, for what terrible fate might yet be in store for them they knew not. The occupants of the de molished cars, surmounted by the debris, and Impeded in their efforts to escape, shrieked loudly for help, mingling their cries with the dreadful groans of the wounded. All was confusion. The oillcers of the train seemed paralyzed, and knew not what to do. Those of the passengers who had reached a place of safety looked on in blank astonish ment, thankful that they had emerged from the wreck, but for the moment seemingly ignorant of what was to be done. THE WRECK ON FIHE. The scene at this moment was illuminated by the blazing debris, which shed at first a flicker ing and then a terribly distinct light npon the surroundings, enabling the terror-stricken spec tators to comprenend to some extent the disas- t Tii- n fl aeotntofl (hnm tf tmcrfiur filtnf wlmn tt was, most Imperatively needed. Some of the men engaged iu the humane labor of removing the wounded and terror-stricken helpless, while the employes of the road upon the two trains devoted their attention to extinguishing the flames. RELIEF FKOM THE VILLAGE. 'The inhabitants of Mast Hope were aroused from their slumbers at the dead of night by the frantic appeals for help proceeding froni the passengers of the train, and humanely responded with alacrity to the summons. Soon the entire village was aroused, houses were thrown open, the most available surgical aid was obtained, and everything was done for the wounded and helpless that could be done. Aid was summoned from the nearest points along the line of the road, and by daylight reinforcements had ar rived and all the help that was needed was upon thefground. After the flames were extinguished, the charred and blackened bodies of some of the victims were found and removed to the depot for inquest. The baggage was either burned or crushed into an indistinguishable mass, and the mails la the express car suffered a similar fate. The safe of the express messenger was removed, which was all that was saved from the express car. the "biding." At the point where the accident occurred, a side track breaks off from the main line, on which "lay over" trains are ordered to wait un til through trains have passed. Owing to the shortness of this track, the freight train whieh was switched off almost entirely filled It, so that the engine (No. 275) slightly protruded over the main track. It Is stated that it would have been possible for the engineer to back a few feet further, but, thinking he had reached the edd of the track, he neglected to do so. As a consequence, when the express train, drawn by engine No. 818, reached the spot, that engine struck No. 275, and was thrown from the track, .Uinost entirely demolished. The train came thundering ou, and as each car reached the wreck it was smashed to pieces. The fire from the engine was communicated to the first car, and thence to the others, and In a few moments Jie scene was ono of the most Indescribable con- fusion. Another Account of the Collision. The N. Y. Herald correspondent writes as follows: While all were wrapped In sleep, or in light, uneasy slumber, on board the train, the emi grants in the smoking car even ceasing .to talk, and the doors openiug only at long Intervals for the conductor or some restless member of the baggage corps to pass through, and while the train was dashing along with that speed of mo tion which leaves the sensation on the car of the passenger that the wheels dance with a deli rious revolution on the rail, the flickering light at the depot of Mast Hope hove In sight around a long and easy curve and on a heavy grade. The engiueer liad his practised eye on the alert at this particular point of the road, not that it Is in anywise as dangerous as other portions, but with an Instinctive dread of that horrible apparition a freight train he felt more approhenslon on the curve than If he bad to crons a shaky trestle bridge a hundred feet high. The second look he cast through the bull's-eye window, an lastant or two after he entered on the curve, revealed the terrible fact (o him that something huge, black, and ungainly was almost In his Immediate front, and that his tiain was running with lightning paco upon it. Another moment and the headlight of his loco motive illuminated the rear of the train ahead, while his car caught the sound of the rattle and jolt of a long, loose freight train. Coolly ho whistled down the brakes, while at the samo instant a piercing scream went up from those who knew too well what that appalling tokcu meant. The precaution was in vain. Tho great, heavy, panting locomotive of the passen ger train, tearing forward in its course at the speed of over twenty miles an hour, struck tho front of the freight train as It shuttled lazily ff on an oblique switch towards tho depot, and, literally rearing up in the air like a mighty lion in his rage, crashed through the foremost Iron wall of opposition and then careened over on the track as though bereft of further strength. Tho tender jumped upon the prostrate engine, the mail express struck against the wreck of iron, the baggage car against the express, thesmokingcar ran pell mell into tho fearful ruin, and in less time than it takes to say it, the entire mass was in a blaze of lire. Tho shock was tcrrilic. It reached to the uttermost end of the train in nil its intensity, shaking the sleepers to their feet, and appalling tho stoutest-hearted men that heard it. No hope at this awful moment for the poor people in the smoking car. Tracks were knocked from under bnggngo aid express cars, and stood locked in combat, as it were, upon the track. The body of the baggage car lay at one side, the express at the other, a passenr coach on top, while thrown in confusion among them all, tossed, torn, and blazing from floor to roof, was the baggage car, with Its living freight, caught In the stem and fiery jaws of death. Jets of fearful flame sprang upwards from tho wreck, or rushed hissing liko steam from an escape-pipe along the track and through the passenger coaches. It was a heart rending and awfully impressive spectacle to sec the big column of fed and roaring flame tearing through the woodwork and melting away a dozen human forms without a soul under heaven being capable of stretching forth an arm to the rescue. Death, however, did its chief share of havoc before applying1 tho torch to finish Its ghastly work; but, horror of horrors! what a late was that reserved lor poor Dr. Hallock! Not a scratch marked him when the collision oc curred. He was in the foremost sleeping coach, and was violently pitched forward into the tan gled mass of broken woodwork, but received no injury. Worse than Injury, however, he found himself, in all his strength and sensibility, locked up in the heavy beams that made the floor frames of the dismantled cars. The dreadful fire from beneath flared up suddenly around him. Men with blanched and bewildered faces stood upon the track or rushed frantically to and fro, crying, "Is there no help for Dr. Hal leek?" The fire shot out with the intensity of a furnace, and triumphantly defied any man to approach and rescue the victims within its grasp. Above the crackling roar the firm and intrepid voice of the doctor, in the midst of his remarkable agony, was heard to exclaim to the men around the scene, "I am not Injured; but I cannot escape." r ACKER.

JVi'&tinof this morning : 'J lie public have not forgotten the Intense excite ment en ated in the spring of 1 6 by the sudden dis appearance of the young and handsome husband and fascinating granddaughter or a lady then well known to lame, and long before noted in the annals of the country. Those intimate In the family of the once handsome and even now extremely fascinating Mrs. Oc ncral Katon did not hesitate to suv, from the day of the ill-sorted match, that " rouble and disaster must necessarily fnuow, thouph no one was wise enough to p tint i ut the pHtdeiilar danger.

The private life of the poor fellow whs rendered desperate, in Washington, during the firnt live or six years or his married life, and the old neighbors of tho "Eaton Hlock" even now tell tales of the furious quarrels between the passional c young Italian dancing-master and the basethlH old dame. The remoustranees of neighbors were of no avail. The war continued witu ui abated vigor, eaeti party by turns ap peaiifg to the sympathy of the Hon. 8. C I'ome rov, United States Senator from Kansas, who Tias, during the first year of his 8juatoiil term a guest ut the Kuchignaui mansion. Whilo here the rotund Senator became much attached to the lair little Emily, who, even at that tender age, twelve, began to show the disposition so soon to be developed, and lie often expressed his intention of adopting her and arming for her future, lie often tolo her he would see that she should have a dower handsome enough for any girl. At this time tho allecildti betwee.. the Senator and his adopted was ol an extremely touching character, she spending the most of her time In his lap when he was In the house, and he la lshlngt upon her gift of every de scription. As time passed on ai lutimacyj-ipruug up bi tween the young husband and precocious grand daughter of a very confidential and tender character, though nothing of a criminal nature transpired until the removal of the family to New York. In the summer of isft, they rented the c( sy little house of I. M. Singer, at Bpuyten Lujvil, and here the intimacy ripened Into a criminal love, and the numerous opportunities ottered ty the shady walks, the deserted and silent burn, the secluded bath-house, aud the convenient sail boats proved too much for their strength of vir tue, and there began that criminal intercourse Inch, when it could no longer be concealed, drove thi m outcasts from the country. After a short resi dence abroad the guilty pair returned to Ne w York, n siding in a little dingy frame building No. 170 West Thirty-second street, where they billed and cooed unknown to their neighbors or to their de serted old relative then residing in Hoboken. WhiM in New York at this time the whilom dancing-muster assumed a new role, that of a successful smug gler of silks, perfumes, opium, etc., which with the sssistanee or certain olllclals In the New Y'ork Custom-House he was enabled to carry on with impunity and success. The private detective (so Uuchiguanl himself states) kept him I osttd on all matters of Interest to him, and finally, when his guilt was discovered, posted him long enough in advance to render his search, when armed with the necessary documents, altogether un successful. This smuggling was carried on in a pe culiar manner, several personB on both sides of the ocean being engaged. Principally here were Buchig nani and William Leiss, a Jew broker ot the CuHtom House, whose sign still ha?gs out on Iiroadway just above Bowling Green, though he himself has been a' so obliged to flee the country to escape the clutches of the Treasury officials. lie is supposed to be hi Europe. On tho other side the principal operator was one V. Arico rignatellt, assisted In Lyons by a confederate who repacked the goods. Alter the discovery the smuggler lied to Montreal, and Webster, who was then Wakeman's Uepiuy Surveyor in the Custom House, was extremely exerclHed Iu my mind. The pretty mistress, Miss Randolph, was sent for, and an Interview held in the Deputy's private room. Though he was extremely gallant, suave, courteous, the young girl was too smart for him. She was a persistent and unalterable know-nothing. To every question her reply was, with a decided shake of the head and a II rm pucker ing of the lips, "I don't know, sir." Webster gave it up as a bad job, and the mistress soon followed the smuggler to Montreal. Here Buehignanl opened a restaurant aud bar room at No. 79 St. Francois Xavler Btrcet, after the plan of Delmonlco's lunch room in this city, and he met with considerable suc cess. Curing ail the time since his return from Europe negotiations had been pending to secure a divorce from the old lady, so that the lovers might be married ami tnut legitimatize tneir uoy which had been born In Europe. Uuce Buehignanl came back to secure some smuggled dllks left in the Custom House at the time of his hurried flight, when he was arrested at the Instance of his deserted wife, and made to give bonds to pay alimony at the rare oi s a ween per year, a snort tune ago, their lawyer,a Mr. Lewis of Wall street.notiucd them that it only needed the testimony of Miss Randolph to secure the divorce, and she came to New York In May last. The examination by Judge I'ierrepont Bhi wed that Buehignanl was more siuned against than sinning in this particular matter, and that she was neuner aouuciea nor seduced. This was, of course, conclusive, and about three weeks ago the parties were sundered by the strong arm of the law. On Thursday, the 80th day of June last, in a little dingy office of a Justice of the Peace, in I he city of Hartford, Conn,, a quiet ceremony was performed, which legally united these two, who hail occupied so prominent a position In the public mind on several occasions. The old lady loses a husband, and gets tsoo In greenbacks all and more than he Is worth. The girl gains a husband, the smuggler, dancing muster and bookkeeper gets a wife. The poor little boy Is the only gainer by the operation. He gains a father and a name, which latter is something, even though ii is uupronouncauie ana sngntiy laruisnea. in tneir cozy rooms on St. Francis Xavier street, in Mon treal, they can now count their customers and make their salads in peace, undisturbed by the terrible vision of the aged dame bearing down upon them. It is reported that they entertain handsomely, and occupy a good position among the society of the "city of saints." Mrs. Buchlguanl i said to be the most elegantly-dressed lady in Montreal, while he is called the "Delmonico of the North." MINISTER BASSETT. IIIh Arrlral In Haytl. l'onr au Prince, June 22. The steamer City of Port an Prince arrived here from New York the 14th I ii St., having on board as passenger Mr. Basset t, United States Minister Resident aud Consul General to Ilaytl. This gentleman being the first colored man ever appointed by the United States Govern ment to represent their Interests In foreign coun tries, his arrival gave rise to considerable excite ment. So far from being badly received here, as waa In advance reported by some of the New Y'ork newspapers, his reception has been very flattering to him and to the great and powerful nation l.e represents, lie has been feted and dined. and nuhllciy and privately received with the greatest distinction and honor. Instead of the appointment proving Insulting, as was foretold, to the colored race occupying una government, n nas oeen con sidered au honor, and foreigners aud llaytiens have vied with each other In extending to him the right hand o: fellowship and hospitality. Mr. Bassett la now the guest of Mr. Hollister, the present lncum l ent of the office, and Is awaiting the return here of President Salnave to present his credentials and take posbcsslon or his olllce. Tlie ISew .lerater Fruit Crop. from the I'renton Gazette, July 14. From all this region we hear very good report of the prospects for fruit. Early in the season it was feared that the yield of apples would be but small, as a large portion of the bloom was Mown on or blasted by an easterly storm, just as the rrult was setting. But these feats have proved comparatively groundless; probably no moro bloom was lost than was desirable for the success of the crop. Peaches are not now so important a product or New Jersey as in former years, but from the reports from the peach-grow lb g districts, there appears to be every nrosmct of a good yield. So far. fruit trees of all kinds have been unusually free from the ravages of worms and Insect. '1 lie berry crops nave oeeu, are, and will be laree. The strawberry season is over. and the growers certainly ought to be satisfied with the result, for the yield was larger than ever before. Raspberries, blackberries, and huckleberries also give unusually large crops, aa large proportionately as that of the strawberries, and the latter exceeded the estimates of growers, dealers, and freighters.

The Spanish force num bered 500 marines, who were surprised by 70 insurgents under Francisco Castillo, ambuscaded behind palm groves. Both sides sustained a spirited fire for half an Lour. The marines, being afraid of the machetes carried by the Cubans, refused to obey an oder to charge bayonets, and the insurgents, despite the supe rior Bumbers of tho enemy, retired across an open field In perfect order, firing in full view of the Spaniards and Indicting severe loss npon them. But one patriot was wounded. The ma rines fell back to Nuevitas, so exhausted by the effects of the climate that many were carried into the city on stretchers.

Nashville, Tcnn., July 10 Ex-Prcsident Johnson arrived In the city yesterday from East Tennessee. He has several appointments to speak in Middle and West Tennessee before the election. He is delighted with tho present situ ation iu the State, and although he says littl about his own aspirations, there Is little doubt that ho has a desire for the United States Seua torsblp. Should there be a conservative majority in tbe Legislature, ns is not unlikely, he will probably have Emerson Etherldge and Bai ley Peyton as rivals for the place. But there is no doubt that Andy will secure the place. In this county there are thirty radical candi dates lor the Hohsc and seven for the Senate. The gubernatorial canvass still goes on briskly. Stokes' strength appears to be somewhat on tho wane, but his friends claim that ho will receive n majority of from 85,000 to 40,000. FROM CANADA. Arrival of KmlKrnntN.
