The facts of the case appear to be theserThe citi zens of Staten Island have beep for a con siderable length of time endeavoring to obtain the removal of the Quarantine from the Island, and to this end have se cured an act of the Legislature authorizing its removal. Subsequently it Was indict- ed by the Grand Jury. Still there was n&action taken towards its removal. This insenced the inhabitants living in the im mediate vicinity, but nothing of a riotous or improper character was attempted until the recent appearance of the yellow fever. Men who were supposed to be recking With the virus of small pox and yellow le aver were let;out to attend political meet ings and the latter disease presently broke tout. ' A litfmher of persons now got together jWd framed a set of resolutions which were .posted up conspicuously declaring the Quarantine a nuisance ,too Intolerable to be borne and calling, on the citizens' of i Richmond county to protect themselves . by abating it without delay. . V resolutions were posted through out the'lshmd, and on Wednesday evening a large concourse, of the residents of Staten Island from all quarters, assembled at Fort Hill, one of the forts thrown rip by the «Hessians during-the Rcvolution . The res olutions-were submitted to the meeting, carefully read, and they were then asked if they would or would not support the Hoard of Health. The result was that a procession was formed and proceeded to the jjuarantinc grounds,'where the work of* .destruction commenced. From the statements of both sides, which the Her ald publishes, we learn that a breach was made in the wall after the ineffectual at-. tempts of the firemen to gain admittance. When they did so, not a drop of water was thrown on tho burning mass, but, was per mitted to be destroyed; they, however using their endeavors ' to save and protect .the sick.

The notes of all^ I the interior banks are .now on deposit, as it is considered much cheap er for turn their «hcwrrc«t into coin there, than to he at the risk and ex pense of sending it heme, or of suffering a sftave in putting x it. on the' community The Farmersand Mechanics’Bank has become the agefttnf all the city banks, and for the fixed charge of i per dent, to be borne in proportion to the amount re ceived by each, takes upon itself the risk and (expense of conferring them into spe cie pr its 'equivalent, ntthe respective points of iss«e. ■„/ " X double advantage* continues the Ledger, will result from ’ the working of this new order of things. Th ose who have suffered loss by being compelled -from cir cumstances to take depreciated money at par, will he relieved from that onerous and unjust tax, and the banks sending depre ciated currency here for the profit derived from a paper circulation far from home, will be restricted in their operations, the resolution here to return it home in large sums affording' them,' no profit. The field here will also be loft freer for the, well known bills of ouf own banks, thus les sening the risk of loss from unknown and fraudulent bank notes. We have no doubt that the system will work well for all par ties, except, perhaps, the interior banks and their agents here in keeping the notes as steadily in circulation as possible:— The currency will be very effectually pur ged, and the users of paper money profit ed and-protected. The Interior bank that may show rcstivejiess and opposition un der the new order of things, will only the pibre effectually undo itself in credit* with the public, thereby proving the necessity of abridging its circulation; to the nearest home demand.

Te*iit»le Accident on the AUe ghony valley Railroad. W« copy due following account |<ff the late dia aatet oh the abovenamed Railroad from the Pittsburg Chronicle, of Thursday last-v-^ One of the most serious accidents which it has ever been our' province to recoml occurred last evening on the ' Allegheny Valley ; RailrohcL about two ; miles beyond llulton Station, and fourteen from the : city. It appears that as the Camp Meeting at Tarentum was about breaking up to-day, a number of those'*attending, it con cluded to rettftn some last evening, and when. tbeJexpress train, due here at eight o'clock, came along, an extra car filled With passengers was attached to it The train then proceeded on its way, but when within some two miles of Button, and white running along the edge of a steep de-‘ divity, the brake bar broke, and one oftbede taebed ends falling on the track, caught against the cross ties, throwing the car off the' track and down the embankment, a distance of nearly forty feet The accident was discovered almost immediately by the conductor, i who gave the signal for Stopping the train, and had it backed to the scene of the disaster’. What followed beg gars description. The ill-fated; car had l been shattered' to fragments on the rooks, and of the fifty or sixty ladies and gentlemen who occupied it, some thirty lay scattered at the base of the embankment, more or less injured and groaning with paini, while those who were fortunate en ough to escape without injury, crawled from be neath the wreck, and running’ wildly about, filled the air with their shrieks and lamenta tions. It was quite dark when the accident occurred , and as soon as possible lamps were lit and as sistance rendered the sufferers. Ah examina tion of the wreck showed the diaastei to have been far more extensive than was antic p ted. About twenty feet from the track the body of Miss Kincaid, daughter of Mr J. T.. Kin paid, tinner, of the First Ward, was found, with life extinct, and her afflicted father endeaoring to collect the bra ns of his child, which were i c ti tered in every direction. Mr. K. has been sin gularly unfortunate.' But a few month since his son, a fine young man,, lost bis life while nobly discharging hia duty iat a fire on Fourth street, and now his daughter, a beautiful girl just entering on womanhood, has been taken from him by sudden and violent death. The unfortunate lady's body was shockingly muti lated, and her father, who was in the car with her at the time, was considerably injured.— Lower down the embankment some twenty-five others were found, more or less hurt, but, with one or two exception's, none of them very seri ously. The body of Miss Kincaid was placed ip the baggage ear, and the wounded having been all taken on board, the train started for the city, and reached the station in thc-Kiuth ward about nine o’clock. . , ' Intelligence of the accident soon spread thro’ the city, and the excitement which followed was mOst intense. Hundreds who had relatives or friends attending the camp meeting rushed to the depot, and for some minutes nothing but eager inquiries ns to how many w.ere killed, who was huit, &c., was heal'd. As soon ns the con fusion incident to such a scene had subsided, conveyances were procured, and the injured parties taken to their homes. The body ot Miss Kincaid remained at the depot for some time, and the coroner Teaching the ground soon after wards, an inquest was held. Below wo give the names of those injured by the accident; Mr. and Mrs. Mair, of Alb g’ euy, ppetty severly injured, and were taken home in a'carriage. Rev. ffm. Lynch and wife were tytdly bruised. Edward licazelton, of this city, slightly injured. Mrs. Lewis and Mrs. Kauff man, of the city, also slightly injured. Miss. Lousia Wilson, of the city, had her face badly cut. Jos. Bocksby, of the city severly cut about the face and head. Peter Shots, of Allegheny, was slightly bruised. J. N. McCleary, and wife, of the Sixth ward, severly injured; Dr. John Perchmerit, slightly injured in the spine; Miss E. Wright Sixth ward, slightly injured ; Mrs. Thompson and two children, slightly bruised; Miss Holmes, of Allegheny, slightly hurt; Robt Donaldson, wife and son, slightly braised; Jno. Colwell, and wife slightly injured. Some six or eight others were more or less injured, but as their wounds ore not of a dangerous character we deem it useless to give their names. It is gratifying to know that the accident was one of these occurrences which human foresight could scarcely have prevented, and that it can not 'therefore be attributed to any want of at tention or carelessness on the part of the officers of the train. Border Warfare Between Tiro We copy from the Ducktown Eagle, of Aug. 10, the following letter from the Sheriff of Polk County, Tennessee, giving an account of a small war which seems to be raging between a - por tion of the people along the borders of tbe two States of North Carolina and Tennessee. The letter says: Some time in 1865 a difficulty occurred between sOme North Carolinians and Tennesseeians, living near the State line. Short ly after, one of the North Carolinians was ar rested on the;Tennessee side, who knocked the officer down Vith a stick, and then made his escape. Hostile encounters would occasionally take place. At length, in 1857, some four or five men from v North Carolina made an assault on a man from the Tennessee'side, cutting and stall ing him soveriy with knives. For Seme time after all appealed quiet, when, in the month of Juno last, early one morning, some men from North Carolina came over to Tennessee, went to the house of a gentleman, and attempted to beat him with sticks; he' fled, was pursued to a neighboring house, when a general fight ensued: the Tennesseeans, overpowered by number?, were badly beaten. This excited the whole neighborhood, and as collisions still took place, and as fighting appeared to be the order of the day, tbe citizens of both States decided on a pitched battle. Saturday, 31st July, was the day appointed for the contest, snd they were to meet on the Tennessee side to-fight. The day arrived. Thir ty men on the Tennessee side mode their ap pearance at the place appointed, with rifles, muskets, pistols, &c. Night came and still not a Carolinian was to be scen-i-only a spy or two at a distance. The Tennessee boys got impa tient, and unlawfully slipped over the line, found one of the men they wanted, took him out of bed, and started with him] for Tennessee, Some of his friends rushed to the rescue, and a gen eral battle took place. No one was killed.— One had his thumb shct off, another shot in the hand, and another slightly wounded in the head, whilst several were badly wounded by sticks and rocks. The excitement among the people be came furious. The North Carolinians organized a company to invade the Tennessee fron tiers, and Monday night, the 2d of August, was set apart for the attack. About twenty-five -Tennessee ans, in self-defense, assembled to receive them. Th« deputy sheriff getting, notice of the antici pated frgy, with a sufficient number of men, prepared to arrest the hostile proceedings.— Night came on. Occasionally spies were seen larking around, at whom the Tennesseeans would fire their rifles. About 2 o’clock, while most of the Sheriff’s cbmpany were sleeping ip a house, ah alarm was raised by scntinel’s outside, who fired,their guns and the eaemy. which waa nd vanping wheeled and fled. No arrests we re nutde. There is a bitter feeling, and some fetal consequences will yet ensue, wdess the strong *nh of IftV TOcceWs in srrtslipg tie *affnjf. States. Execution In lowa. A correspondent of the Cincinnati Commer cial horrible account of the Mecuton of Willem Hinkle at Orleans, lowajor ito mur der of his wife, fSotn irhicti*e extract lowing: " After the rriij^ finiehld, and the reading of*rtate*ent mwht* he asserted his innocence, |»e walked *o*™” and stood upon the trap do*)T, mamfestingno trepidation or emotion —he appeared and resigned: The'rope was, fastfened to the beam, a white doth vras tied over his face—ad is now [adjusted. The sheriff bids him a final farewell- : There is not a sound in the vastas scmblsgel Slowly the sheriff retired to the back "fiid of the platform. The prisoner stands with out a motion. The sheriff strikes the fatal blow, cuts the rope, the trap door falls, but alas for the unfortunat man, the rope and be is precipitated forward upon bis face. One ter rible shriek of horror went up from the vast throng; many fainted; one of the guard fell m a fainting fit from his horse. Tho unhappy man lay for a few moments motionless and scnsless, the blood streaming from his nose and nostrils. He then groaned and struggled,, and was soon restored ito conciousness. Again he was car ried upod the platform and upon the trap door, supported, staggering and bleeding, a terrible sight. Again the fatal rope was adjusted, *ncn tie sheriff asked him, “ Do you still adhere to your statement of your innocence ? ” In a clear, a dble voice, he answered, ‘1 do.* The only words he spoke after his fall. He was unable to s;a d this time upon the trap door, and was si: p >orted. When the rope was eut the door fell, and he was suspended between heaven and earth.

After walking some distance, she cam'c to a rope walk. She was familiar with the place", and en tered. At one end of the building she saw a little boy turning a large wheel; she thought it too laborious for such a child, and she came near and spoke to him ‘Who sent you to this place I" she asked. ‘Nobody—l came of myself.’ ‘Does your father know you are here ?’ fl have no father.’ ‘Are you paid for your labor/ ‘Yes; I get ninepence a day/ ‘Do you like this work ?’ ‘ Well enough; but if I did not I should do it, that I might get the money for ray I mother/ ‘How long do you work in the day ?’ ‘From nine till eleven in the' morning, and from two till five in the afternoon.’ ‘How old are you ' ‘Almost nine V ‘Do you ever get tired of turning tills great wheel V ■ '* \ ‘Yes, sometimes.’ i ‘And what do you do then? ; • ‘J taka the other hand .’ The lady gave him a piece of money. } ‘ls this for my mother?’ he asked, look ing pleased. ‘No, it is for yourself.’ f ‘Thank you, ma’am the boy said, and the lady bade him farewell. - She weut home strengthened in her de votion to duty, and instructed. in tnie practical philosophy by the words and ex ample of a little child. ‘The next time,’ she said to herself, ‘that dutyseems hard to me] I will remember the, child, and take the other hand .’ - : Hold On. —Hold on to your tongue" when are just ready to swear, lie, speak harshly, or say an improper word.
