A Fly-wheel Ilnrnin, Tearing an Engineer to llece-Terrllle Force Exerted. The 8axony flour mills in St. Louis were the Bcene of a very shocking accident on Tuesday last. The Jlcpublican of the 15th says There were only a few men in the building;, it being dinner time and the machinery was running light, as there was not much doing in the mill. Henry Deitricb, the assistant engineer, was in charge, and was considered an experienced and carelul man. About the time mentioned he was engaged in carrying out cinders, and during his absence on one of his trips the belt controlling the "governor" either broke or slipped off. There was a heavy pressure of steam in the boiler, about 115 or 120 pounds, and the full force was immediately transferred to the cylin der. In a moment the increased speed of the machinery apprised Deitrich of what had oc curred, and he hurried back towards the engine. A little delay of Borne kind seems to have oc curred, and by the time he reached the engine the fly-wheel had gathered a terrific speed, and must have been revolving somewhere about a thousand times in a minute, while the whirl ing rush of the great body of iron and the other machinery shook the building. Deitrich, It is evident, understood in a moment what had occurred, and ran towards the small wheel con trolling the admission of steam. In his haste, and not thinking of the danger, he went directly 1n front of the iiy-wheel, and while quite close the accident occurred. The immense wheel had acquired a velocity that overcame the cohe rency and strength of the iron, and in a mo ment, with a terrible sound, it new into a thou sand pieces. The force exerted by the fragments was something surprising. One large piece of the rim weighing thousands of pounds rushed like a ball from a cannon through the floors of , the second and third stories in a curving line, tearing the wooden joints and other timber like paper, . and striking the front wall of the building about the middle of the third story. This is a brick wall of unusual thick ness, but the iron fragments passed clean through it, leaving an unsightly gap, and fell thundering on the south side of the street. Some smaller pieces of iron also passed through the upper floors of the building, and their effects were manifested even up to the roof. In the direction given by the revolving motion at the time of the bursting, some of the arms of the wheel struck the brick floor in front; one piece buried itself out of sight like a wedge driven in by the hammer of Thor, and another stood with one end sticking out as solid as if the masonry had been built around it. To look upwards from -i-e pluco where the fly-wheel had been enabled oue to realize the awful force exerted. All the floors above were shivered along the course taken by the fragments, and the light of day streamed in through the jagged rent in the walls. The assistant engineer, Dietrich, was instantly killed, but no other man was hurt in the building. TUE WAGES OF SIX. A Buralnr Phot and Killed While Attempting to Break into a Hohmc. Early this morning a man met his death at the hands of another whom he attempted to rob, and was sent into another world while in the commission of an act condemned in this by moral and divine law. The particulars of this case are as follows: Between 3 and 4 o'clock this morning Mr. A. S. Knlsely, who resides at No. 514 West Twalfth street, was awakened from his slumbers by a noise proceeding from the direction of the piazza. His bed-room is on the first floor, and the windows of the chamber rua down to the piazza. Feeling confident that the noise was occasioned by the efforts of some person to break into the house, Mr. Knlsely quietly armed himself with a revolver, awakened his wife and child, whom he placed in an adjoining apartment, and then, with weapon in hand, took his post to await develop ments. It was a burglar, who was without on the piazza, and he was steadily proceeding with the work unconscious .of the watcher within, who was ebon to summon him to his fate. The worker without had cut away the lower portion of the blind which protects the windpw, and was about to proceed with the removal of a pane of glass, and thereby gain admittance, when Knlsely fired his revolver. The shot crashed through the window-pane, aiid with fatal accuracy struck into the house breaker's left shoulder, and lodged, as it after wards appeared, jirat over the heart. With a cry of alarm and pain the wounded man jumped from the piazza to the garden below, and then mounting the fence which sepa rates Mr. Kuisely's from the adjoining place, precipitated himself into the grass on the other side, where he now lies a corpse. Hn ex ¬ pired almost immediately alter jumping the fence. It was found that the man who was so suddenly cut off in the performance of his un lawful deed had removed his boots before enter ing on the plazza.as he was in his stocking feet. and his boots were found below. It was also ascertained that he had in his hand a single barrelled revolver, which was found cocked, also a pair of nippers, such as are used by persons of his profession. The fact of having his weapon ready for instantaneous use shows the character of the man, and if Mr. Knisely's presence had been known te him before he was made ac quainted with it finally and fatally, the result might have been different, for the fellow would surely have used his pistol, and it would have only been a question of steadiness of aim whether it would have been fatally used Chicago P st. THE RED STOCKINGS. How the Detent waa Taken at Home Te nrai t.aino i.oai uai ui nu. The Cincinnati Timet of Wednesday says: lhe proud red-le treed lnvincibles, the pets and pride of the Queen City, have been overthrown. and thousands of strowg men have turned their laces to the wall and taken a "snifter" that they migut near tne infliction with a proper degree of stoicism. Spirits, not tears, understood. No event since the sanguinarr conflicts of the war has excited the population hereabouts as tne game or uuse-oau played yesterday. Jlua dreds.of enthusiastic urchins, merchants, bank' ers, clerks, 'Sa ngerfesters,'' draymen, and lay men were gathered about the Timet bulletin board, and as the innings were flashed oyer the wires and found their way to the eyes of the mighty throng, there was delineated on the many faces hope mixed with anxiety. Nine innlnsrs daved and the score 5 to 5. "Will the Keels beat ?" was asked, and "Will the Reds beat ?" was echoed around and about, in and through the vast crowd. The tenth, inning came, a"d the 0 for each still left the intensity of feeling unrelieved. -C'at'i o'i liwau j a," tail one. "ilujt 3e this through." Working men returning to their hemes augmented the assembly, but no loud demonstration was audible. It seemed to be felt that the Beds were to succumb, and when, in a few moments afterward, the bulletin an nounced the eleventh inning 2 to 3 in favor of the Atlantics the first exclamation heard was, "That's what I tola you!" The Red Stockings, up to yesterday, had played 110 games without meeting with a defeat. THE "LOTHAIU" DISPUTE. letter from Professor tloldwln Smith. To the Editor of the Cornell Era. Sir: I have sent for puolication elsewhere a letter which I have addressed to Mr. Disraeli, respecting a passage affecting my character in his 'Lotlinir.-' If I were in my own country, I should not think It necessary to say anything more. But as 1 am a stranger here, 1 will, with jour permission, address a few words of further explanation to the colleagues and friends on whose good opinion and conilduuce my usefulness and happiness in this country must depend. Mr. Disraeli has been foiled, as such tacticians always will be foiled, In spite of their most laborious artifices, In any country where any vestige of moral force remains. He is angry, and he pours out his anger on all who were in any way Instrumental in his defeat. Probably It was to give vent to his feel ings as much as to raise the "No Popery'' cry on which he hopes to ride back into power, that he wrote "Lothair." A good deal of what he said about me is mere abuse which deserves no notfee. JSut the sting or the attack lies in two Imputations that of having been "a social parasite" In my own country and that of having schemes here, to facilitate whlcli I am represented as paying insidious attentions to Ameri can visitors at Oxford. The first Imputation I can hardly discuss with pa tience. Politically, I stood with my friends in direct opposition to the party of the aristocracy. Socially, my relation to that class would be more accurately described as ostracism than parasitism ; at least If I did not lose old friends in the class, I did not put myself in the way of making any new ones. A cry has or late gone forth that some of the young Tory nobility were turning Liberal ; and as this aillictiug phenomenon could not be supposed to be spon taneous, it has been ascribed, both in prose and -verse, to my sinister Influence. Upon this, it seems Mr. Disraelis imagination nas bunt the further charge of practising the arts of a social parasite. But the foundation as well as the superstructure is a tlctlon. f can truly say that 1 never attempted to proselytize any young man, nobleman or commoner, at Oxford or elsewhere. The Oxford Tories had -an organization, which was countenanced, if the party organs spoke the truth, by Mr. Disraeli, for the pur pose of enlisting young men In the party. Uut -1 always discountenanced any movement or the kind on the Liberal side. I always held it an untuauly and unchlvalrous thing to entangle a young man iu party trammels, when he could not have had a fair opportunity or forming his opinions and deciding for himself. 1 always said and acted on the conviction that it was better for the Liberal cause itself that a man should bo a Tory of his own making than a Liberal of mine. If, therefore, humanity has round its way through the barriers or caste aui privilege to the heart or any young English nobleman, oa general influences, not on my lnttigues, must rest the blame. ir I have any schemes in America, I believe it will be allowed that they have been pretty well con cealed. My tenure or tne reuowsnip wnicn con nected me with the University or Oxford, was, by the roles of my college, at an ena. jjeun nan ter minated my domestic duties. The political contro versies in which I had happened to be engaged that relating to the American conflict and that relating to the reform of Parliament had been settled. The victory of the Liberals in the general election was assured, i count not nave anoraea a seat iu Parliament it I had desired It; and I did not want to pass my days in political agitation. Mr powers of work were the worse lor wear, but still 1 f tit that I had work left in me. I determined to (carry into effect a plan which I had formed long before, but the execution of which had been suspended by Academical and domestic duty, or re visiting America; and I was thinking or settling at Providence, where 1 should have had some special facilities ror ine study oi rsew .ngianu History, when President White offered me a professorship In Cornell, and I accepted what seemed a congenial position connecieu wiiu aa uujuct ui spucim i merest, to one who political life had been peculiarly allied with the working class. The place in which I have settled is scarcely one wnicn a scnemer woum select. I frankly avow my social preference for American Equality over English Privi lege and Plutocracy; but I hope I have never shown a want of loyalty to my native land. I did not hesitate when I thought she was traduced to incur in her defense the anger of the American public, on whose favor my schemes. If I had any, would be based. Any attentions whicn I paid to Americans visiting Oxford were the natural return for the hospitality which I had experienced here; no generous or candid mind would have put any otlier construction on them. I trust this is the last occasion on which my lite rary life at Ithaca and the quiet performance or my duty to the University will be disturbed by any re currence or the political controversies which I have so gladly left behind. Yours, faithfully, June 8, 1810. Gjldwin Smith. LIFE INSURANCE CASE. Suit by a Widow Queer Teatlmony Verdict for 1'latntia. Says the Washington Star of last evening: An insurance case came before Justice Plant yesterday, the circumstances of which are as follows: Mrs. Catherine Roth some time ago sued Mr. A. . L. Keese, the local agent in this city for the Peoria (Illinois) Benevolent and Mutual Insurance Compouy, for a considerable amount of insurance on her husband's life. Mr. Ferdinand Roth, the husband, died last February, from injuries sustained in getting thrown out of a wagon. Mrs. Roth produces the proper evidence of her husband's death, together with the physician's certificate. The defense put in the plea that Mr. Roth's death was caused by intemperance and immoral hubits, which, they claim, annuls the policy, and they bring as a witness to sustain this plea an individual who calls himself Augustus F. Hartke, and who claims to be a "general agent to travel everywhere for the company." This man's evidence is to the effect that subsequent to the death of Mr. Roth he called upon Mrs. Roth, who stated to him that her husband's death was caused by his vicious habits, and that cue made many otner statements in disparage naent of Mr. Roth. Complainant denies this, and says that this man, who was a total stranger to her, called to see her after her husband's death, and stated that be was a very intimate friend of her bus band and condoled with her, expressing the hope that his life was insured, etc., etc.; that he did not disclose to her bis connection with the Peo ria Insurance Company, and further that by his impertinent and iuquisitlve manner he dually excltea tier suspicions mat ne was an impostor, and that she has not seen him since until the cresent time. The case haft been pending for some time, and Iudgment was given some weeks ago by Justice 'lunt for plaintiff, but at the solicitation of Mr. Keese the case was reopened In order to give him an opportunity "to set himself right with the company" as he stated, and yesterday another postponement was asked by Mr. Keese, but re futed bv the magistrate, and judgment given for plaintiff. TERRIFIC TORNADO. Oops Destroyed Houses Kiowa Down, Treea Uprooted, tic. A terrific tornado passed over a portion of Arkansas and Mississippi on Friday last, doing immense damaee to the crops along us path, and it Is believed utterly ruining the cotton. It rose, as near as can be ascertained, in the vici nity of Council Bend, Ark., and passed down to Peter's Landing, crossing the Mississippi at that point, and striking Mississippi at or near Mhoon's Landing, from which it passed down to the head of Beaver Dam, and thence down into Bolivar county, it not beyond, sweeping cabins, fences, trees, etc., and causing, it is appre hended, some loss of life. It partook of wind. rain, and hail, which came down with terrible furv. The rath of the storm was about two miles in width. The crops had been almost unusually promising, but are now- blact and ' prostrate. lue tornado was repeated on , fcuiurtla), faitiii u;arlj over theco'u-se of the day previous, addingcrcatly to the Immense dam age already done. The hailstones which fell on Friday were large and round, one of them weighing four ounces. The stones which came down on the Becond day were jagged, as devoid of form as crabs, and therefore more Injurious. So violent a storm has never been experienced in the section through which it passed. The damnge is incalculable, and so far as the cotton is concerned, at least is irreparable. Immense trees were uprooted. Further particulars ef the calamity are awaited with anxiety. M A G II U D E R. A I-etler from IHnjor-Genernl Ptnrgl In He lioDne to hlit K ere nt Epistle What itlr. Lin coln Thought of Him. Fort Lkavenwortit, KansaO June 12, 1370. To the Editor of the Evening Telegraph: I 1 ave just read a letter from J. Bankhcai Ma gruder, copied from your paper into the Army and Xary Journal of the 4th lust., and I feci constratned, in the interest of truth an J justice, to say that 1 have good reason for believing that Mr. Magrudcr is in error in regard to what , did actually take place between the President and himself about the time he resigned from the army. Moreover, I have every reason to believe that the remarks which he attributes to Senator Cameron are, in all essential particulars, substantially cor rect, viz. ; "lie escorted the President to the White House, and 1 heard him say, to the President that he ad mired him and was going to stand by him during the war. lie said that the evening before he went away." During the summer of 19C2, 1 commanded the de fenses of Washington and had almost daily inter course with the President, who was kind enough to enter into familiar conversation with me on many occasions which I shall always remember with pleasure and pride. On one occasion, at the request of the officers of the 71st New York Volunteers (which constituted a part of my command), the President reviewed that regiment in its camp near Tenallytown. After tne review we rode back together toward Washington, until we reached the road diverging toward the "Soldiers; Home" (where the President was then temporarily residing), and there we separated. During that ride, our conversation being of a casual character, something was said which called up in the mind of the President the conduct of Colonel Magruder at the time or his resignation lrom the servlco, and he said: "Sturgls" (It wits no unusual thing for Mr. Lincoln to adopt this familiar style), "I cannot call to mind now any single event of my administration that gave me so much pain or wounded me so deeply as the singular conduct of Colonel Magruder on the very night before he aban doned us." I said, "Why so, Mr. President?" Mr. Lincoln replied, "Because he came to see me the very evening before he left, and voluntarily said, while expressing his abhorrence or secession, 'Sir, I was brought up and educated under the glorious old flag; I have lived under it and have fought under it, and, sir, with the help of God, I shall fight nnder it again, and, if need be, shall die under it !' "The very next day," the President continued, Magiuder abandoned us! So tnat at the very moment he was making to me these protestations or loyalty and devotion, be must have had his mind fully made up to leave! And it seemed the more wanton and cruel in him because he knew that f had implicit confidence in his integrity The fact is, when I learned that he had gone over to the enemy, and I had been so completely deceived in htm, my confidence was shaken in everybody, and I hardly knew whom to trust any more !" As Mr. Lincoln said this an expression of deep orrow pervaded his features, and for some time he rode along' in silence, as ttioTrgTmrraTrie or unwilling to give further vent to the painful feelings Induced by the mere remembrance of what appeared to him an act of base ingratitude. Now, Mr. Editor, I have taken pains to give you not only substantially what Mr. Lincoln said on tnat occasion, but, as nearly as I can recall them, his exact words. And I Lave done so with reluctance; because, as a general thjng, I am disposed to let those officers who elected to cast their fortunes with the Rebellion have the full benefit of whatever explanation they may choose to offer in justification or extenuation of their course. Bnt as Mr. Ma gruder's letter places the conduct of the Presldont (when we consider the important and momentous issues with which he was then grappling) in a trifling and flippant light before the country, I do not feel authorized In withholding my testimony while so much wrong is being heaped upon the memory of so great and so good a man. 1 am, sir, very respectfully yours, S. D. Stcrgis, Colonel 7th Cavalry, Brevet Major-General U. S. A. TARDY JUSTICE. The New York Rlota of 1S65-ThelCity Com pelled to raj lor a mock ol Jewelry. T O.tHAMln fina T.n1 fll.i.ni 11,.

Ttie plaintiff was one of the sufferers during the riots or 1S63 In this city. At that time ne Kept a jewelers Btore at jno. 29 Tenth avenue, and, whether from en mity to him personally, or as the result of the peculiar inducements of bis stock in trade, the mob paid bim a formal visit on the 14th of July, 1863, and carried off and destroyed property to the value of 81788-81, leaving but a few articles In tne store, which subsequently sold for $30. The cause was once tried, and the plaintiff nonsuited on the ground that he was negligent in having failed to notify the Mayor or Sheriff of the threatened attack on his property, as required by statute. From this an appeal was taken to the General Term, where the Judgment was set aside on the ground that there was evidence in the case which should have been submitted to the jury on the question of plaintlirs negligence under tne circumstances. The testimony was identical with ttiat given on the former trial, which was fully published in the Time, and at the present time has no interest for the public, beyond the statement of the facts made above. Judge Spencer charged the jury that it was for them to determine whether, under all the circumstances, the plaintiff was guilty of negligence in not having notiued the Mayor and Bherur, it up rearing by the testimony of both these officers that they could do nothing to protect the plaintiff. 0 he jury found In favor of plaintiff for the full amount claimed, $2589-99, including interest, and the Judge grafted an extra allowance or five per cent.

Mr. Hdmunds objected, and said therawera nthar lull. to grant pension, to poor widow who had not fifty or silt) tbouaand dollars in their pockets, nor even bread to put in tbeir mouths.

There were in the country 313,1100 widows made such by the casualties of war, each one ot whioh case was as deserving as that ot Mrs. Lincoln. The highest pension paid to tnetu was 3H0, and this perhaps to only half a dozen. Many of this class were suffering yearly for the absolute necessaries of lite. How could Congress be justined in the faeeof publio opinion in extending this liberality to this lady, however worthy, and ignore a large and deserving class whose suf ferings and wants were the direct result of the saorifloes of tbeir husbands and sons in the Government's behalf? At this point the morning hour expired and the Frank ing bill came up.

If the island were put up at auction it would probably bring ( S.MHI.IXHI. and yet it was proposed to give It away to a railroad oompany that had already received If io.ooo.lltHl in bonds and untold millions of acres of land.

Mr. Blair supported the bill, and stated that, in com pany with General Ord, many United (State officer, and some of the most respectable citizen of San Francisco, he had, on the 4th of July last, made an exouraion in ana aronnd the Uay of Ban Francisco, when the subject of building a railroad across Government Island and between it and Oakland was discussed, and tbe general idea wa that it should be done, and would not interfere with tha harbor. He argued that a railroad would not injure the island for military purposes, but, on the contrary, waa Id improve it, and would be convenient to the people and commerce.

Miss Montez states to her lawyers thai on thessth of May she deposited with the lady brokers a three, stone solitaire diamond ring, value fMm, formerly the property of her mother, Lola Montez, and a gift to her mother from Prince Leopold of Bavaria, to gether with two 500 bills. This property, Miss Montez alleges, was depositea ior Bare keeping onlv. On the tsih instant, she alleges that she de manded of Mrs. Woodhull her property, and she was refused. On Hsturtlay last she again demanded ner valuables, and was again denied their possession. Then, in the depths of despair, she sought Howe and Uunimel, who sued out a summons from the Su preme Court, which was served to Mrs. Woodhull vesterday. The summons requires the defendants to appear within thirty day after service, and show cause why an attachment should not Issue against them. Of course Mesdamea Woodhull and c'laitin deny i'ic toto the above extraordinary charges made by the extraordinary princess. a. 1 . 11 orta, juhs u VVtAMVE AMU COnnCKCR.

The general rates were tnree per cent, on uovernmenw, aud four per cent, on stocKs. Towards the close of banking hours balances were offered at two and three per cent., re- BieiiiveiY, oil iub cuimicruiu iirab apuciueu. "The lack of financial knowledge concerning the effect of the Currency bill jnst passed by the House Is certainly curious. Even in quarters supposed to be oracular In such matters there was a wide differ ence of opinion. The fact is the banks are all specu lating In stocks and bonds, and hence they interpret the new bill as inflation. Naturally enough the stock cliques who are staggering under heavy loads of stocks proclaim it Inflation. "lhe gold market was strong In the forenoon In answsr to tbe agitation of the Cuban question In Congress, and the price rose to 113V. In the after noon there was a decline to 113, when it waa an nounced that Bingham's amendment bad been adopted by a decisive vote. Later In the afternoon the price became strong on the report that the Funding bill was again postponed. The reaction to lia had also been assisted by the lower rates for Bterling. "The Government list was favorably affected, both by the advance In gold and by the Impression that any further Issue of national bank curiency. such as contemplated by the Uartield-Judd bill will denude the market of bonds, while the purchase of two millions to-day by the Government was an Im mediate strong Influence."
