Moran Itodlan Supponed to be Consumed Now Yuan, April IG. • The following particulars of the terrible railroad accident on the Erie road have boon received from passengers on the train who have arrived in this city. The train to which the accident occured left Buffalo yesterday afternoon in charge of Conductor Judd and Chas. Douglass, Superintendent of the Di vision, and consisted of engine, tender, three sleeping, two first class and oneeecnnd class, two baggage and ono postal cur. The train proceeded on time making the usual stop pages until evening when the passengers In the sleeping cars retired for the :night. About three o'clock this morning Ames and Horton, or the General post office its this city, who were In charge of the postal car, saw the bell rope straighten out and break In two, when Mr. Judd immediately re marked to one of the officers that Ito had lost his rear cars. They ran to the platform of the cur when the four rear care were seen rolling down a precipice front seventy-live to one hundred feet high. The scene of the accident Is thirteen miles beyond Port Jer vis on the Delaware Division of the road. the sides of the precipice aro formed of jag ged rocks, and In the descent the care were broken to pieces. At the bottom Is a cul vert through which flows n stream empty lug int.o the :Delaivare. The:disaster was caused by a broken rail which threw the rear car immediately in front, and the whole were precipitated deitvn the embankment. Conductor Judd and Division Superintend ent Douglass were slightly injured. The cars, in going over the embankment, turned several times belore the bottom was reached and were nearly demolished. The sleeping ear was entirely consumed by lire. The passengers immediately began to res cue the wounded and remove the bodies of the killed. Many of the latter could not be recognimd. Seven persons were burned to death and pi.T. others were killed by coming in contact with the Jagged rocks, Ac. The wounded were placation a traits and brought to Port Jervis, whichplace was reached at nine o'clock this morning. Several surgeons were immediately eummonea and every thing was done to alleviate the suffering of the injured. The bodies or the killed were left on the ground. Daniel P. Snow was IrL jured and his wife and one or hie children killed. Three children escaped with only slight iniurles. Mr. Horton, postal agent, appeared at [lmpost office to-day covered with blood, caused by assistance rendered in rescuing the wounded. Among others injured is Furnace, of the Metropolitan Ho• tel, New York. STA.TRUF.NT OF O. 11. lIALLENBACII. Mr Haltenbach, of Morris, Minas, left Cleveland yesterday morning, and while in the first of the sleeping ears, was awoke be tween three and four o'clock this morning by a violent jerk with a concussion and a subsequent rolling of the cur down the em bankment. On the cessation of the motion screams of fright and pain arose front sev eral women and children occupying the car, who had not held as tenaciously to their berths as the male passengers. He receiv ed few contusions but was unconscious of them at the moment, and in company with others, at once left the car and surveyed [he scene. The car bad rolled on an in clined plane down a bank and stopped at a distance of a hundred feet from the road. Fearful shrieks arose from the centre and last sleeping care. Tne former had fallen perpendicularly fifty feet from the culvert into a small stream below, and the latter had roiled similarly to his own car, but had caught fire from cinders front tile stove. Both wore much shattered, and blows from the fragments of the broken cars contrib uted much towards the injuries sustain ed. Attention was immediately given towards extricating the sufferers, and the engine, baggage car, smoking car, and one other passenger cur went to Port Jervis, and transferring the passengers, baggage and mall to another train, immediately return ed for the transportion of the wounded. Hallenbach reached this city about half-past twelve to-day, together with about a dozen others who had been Brightly hurt and whose account corroborated his own. The Division Superintendent of the Delaware Division of the Erie Railway was also among the wounded, Mr. Penman, senior partner of the Elmira Advertiser, was among the wounded. He was on his way to this city to attend a meeting, of the State Associated Press. By the latest despatches received at the Brie Railroad office in this city, it appears that twenty persons are dend,flfty wounded. Of the latter, ten are seriously It not fatally in j ured.

In the order of things, we •re now ap. proachithelaststagesof the ••peachment trial... We have come to the ...elusion of the testimonylor both sides. • - • eloeintron Saturday, the President's con. t el saidthey might possibly'have a few ••••re items to submit; and a similar etaterp :nt was made by the Managers at tbe time th ty dismissed their last witness. But nett •er side has anything further to . offer o any conse quence. We have heard everything I. the nature of evidence that the prosecu .• • 'has been able to bring together to suet • the charges. We have heard nearly every • • g that the defence has been able to collet that would exculpate the accused. The Senate, at the instance of the prosecution, d • lined to re- ! calve a considerable proportio • of the oil dance submitted by thePresid ••• t's counsel. Wo think this was unwise. • o agree with Senator Sumner that the beet way would have been to admit everythin offered by both sides, and trust in the Seato tojudgo d i of its relevancy, weight' and value. In other respects the Senate eparted far enough from the rules of court to permit this. It claimed, to a great iextent the right which Butler asserted for i it , to 'be a "law untoltsolf," and disregarded the rigid forms which, though nocessarylelsewhere, aro impediments to the develop4oent of the truth;in a trial of this nature, carried on be fore such a body. It was almote by acci dent that the President's counsel, after a long struggle, finally succeeded in intro ducing the te stimony of Gen. Sherman; and yet, after Its production, overybo, dy was able to see that It had a most Important bearing upon the charges in the ;first eight articles of impeachment. Everypody was , able to see that its exclusion would have , been a very great wrong to tile defence. I And so of a good deal of the other evidence that was objected to, and got in Qnly after he greatest difficulty. We cannot find fault with e House Managers, as lawyers, for Mt pting to exclude everything favorable o the de -f ' fence. According to the immor 1 advice of Lord Lord Brougham to lawyers,the should be ready to resort to every expel nt to win their case. They had undertak n to con vict; they were determined convict; they doubtless believed the nosad ought , to be convicted—upon " general rinciples," 1 I f not upon each particular cha o brought against him. And if they saw hat, to se cure this cud, ft great part of th testimony fur the defence must be kept fro the Court, it was to be supposed they woo do every thing in their power to have it eluded. But the position of the Benet was di ff er- , eat. As a High Court of Imp clunent its duty was, not to secure cony lion at all hazards, but to administer j s lice,—and that, only alter adopting every eons of ob • Mining light upon the vorious.? features of ; the case. In theory at least, ffpnators en tered upon the trial without, prejudice or prejudgment, as ready to acqt us to con demn, and in each case to ac strictly ac cording to the law and the fact that might 1.1 be developed while the case Wendergoiria examination. This being Mel idea, they' should permit nothing whate rto be ex cluded that was necessary to the elucidation of the deed or the intent. But we imagine that after na there was not mttch material evidence that was not brought to the knowledge oft, the Senate. The President's counsel wrought this port of their case with great skill.l They dls- ' played on amount of patience tact and in genuity, as well us of legal knowledge, that greatly aided their success wit,l the Senate; and when, upon ony point, thbdecislon was adverse to them, they neither flew into a passion about it nor sought by Illegitimate means to secure its reversal. As a conse quence they were able to secure a hearing for perhaps all except ono of the Important witnesses they could call in the nine allot- tod to them. We Imuglno that not n few of those who have taken tho pains to reed the whole of the testimony offered on both sides, have had occasion to modify their opinions as to ' the basis for the charges "Unified in the articles of impeachment. We do not lose sight of the strength of the party bias pos sessed by almost every reader, and wo I know the difficulty with which this is affected. We remember all the things that wont to the formation of u Judgment even before the trial was begun, and wo know how hard it is to efface these impressions. But, ut the same time, the evidence as a whole, and especially that offered during the last fortnight, has thrown so much light upon matters concerning which the public had really little information, that it is not to be wondered nt If things are seen in a new aspect, and If a revisal of previous opinions is found necessary upon many points.' The (int ground of surprise to most of us was at the weakness of the evidence for the prosecution, We confess wo thought they would be able to bring far better grounds for their charges. President Johnson is such a very impudent man, and has pur• sued such a foolish and unjustifiable course during the last two years, that we imngined i it would be only to fasten upon him con• duct and language that could be construed Into plausible proof of the accusations. Ilia we hardly suppose that many lawyers or many lair-counted persons will be aisle to city that they succeeded In this. In fact,' the Malingers seemed to he so badly oil' for anything like tolerable testimony, that they varied up witnesses who, 11)011 the slightest cross•examination guys evidence that told strongly against them. The next ground of surprise to most ot Us hits appeared during the lust fortnight., in the charnctor of the evidence offered by the defence, If, after residing it, any one oats credit the charge that the President en tered Into a conspiracy with Thomas, or the charge that he sought to use force in the ejection of Stanton, or the chug() that he attempted an unlawful control of the public funds, or the charge that ho attempted to "demoralize" Gen. Emory, he must cer tainly do 50 nt the expense of proofs such as are not often brought to bear upon matters capable or legal treatment. As to the other charges, that the Presi dent, in tho removal of Stanton and the ap pointment of Thomas, violated the Tenure of °Mee law and the Constitution—these are questions to bo settled rather by argu ment titan by evidence; and thus far wo have Mid nothing but the argument of, Judge Curtis, who elaborately defended the position that Stanton's case did not come under the terms of the law alleged to be violated. We suppose, however, that this metier will he fully don't with by both sides in the closing arguments to be delivered this week. It Is these arguments from which we ex pect to get the true grounds of judgment. With the evidence alt under review, with the filets ull very well settled, with the ex plicit provisions of the law and the actual conduct of the President before them, there need be no trouble in arriving et a just de cision.-if there is nettling to interfere with the course of justice and its exercise by every Senator.—...V. Y Times. Gold for Greenback. Should ono of our prominent business men, whose word was beyond questioning, announce that for the purpose of complet ing a work of great ya;no to the public, he wished to borrow money upon his notes, paying ti per cent. interest in gold therefor, and, furthermore, that while ho would take greenbacks at par, he would redeem the notes in gold, there would bo but the one question of security to decide favorably be lore the demand for these notes would be so great as to require a banking-office for the reception and accommodation of the gentle man's customers, and the more promises to pay he should issue, the better would the public be pleased. Now, the Union Pacillo Railroad Company is making just suck a proposal to all who have money for invest ment. The Treasurer of that Company of fers for sale the Company's First Mortgage Bonds, at par apd accrued interest in cur rency, but principal anti interest payable in gold. The refitted which is being built from the Missouri river to the Pacific has an as• surance of success such as no other railway of the country can boast. It will be the only avenue of passage and transportation by which the miner, the trader, the farmer, and the capitalist who help to develop the rich interior Territories will reach the mar kets of the East and West. It will also be tbe continental railroad over which the trade betvieen Cl.lun, Japan, Eastern In dia, or Australia, and Lurope, will find its shortest route. To meet theso require ments, and to be an enduring internal improvement, the Road is being thorough ly built and fully equipped. When Congress granted its very liberal aid in the construc tion of the line, it required that each sums.- ve section of twenty miles should be favor ably reported upon by three Government inspectors, as first-cliiss In every respect, before that cifstance should be opened for business. The Road Is, therefore, good of itself, with a certainty of a large and re munerative traffic. Upon this Road, the bonds offered for sale constitute a first 'mortgage. Government donates toward the building of line the 12,- 800 acres of public land for every completed nilfe, and also the right of way through the national domain. It then loans United States bonds to the Company to an average amount of 828,000 per mile. For security for this loan the Government accepts a second lien, giving to holders of the Com pany's own bonds en absolute first mort gage upon the entire Road. The completed portion of the Union Pacific Road extends 550 miles fronaliimaha to the. summit of the Laramie Moufftains. More than two hundred and fifty miles of the line were built last year. Each day saw an ad vance of the end of the completed track. It was built into the wilderness, with its pros pective terminus many hundred miles away upon the Pacific coast. It was the pioneer, not the follower of population and civiliza tion. Naturally, its business would he light, at least until reitchtng the mining centers. Yet, the report of the Treasurer shows the remarkable fact that the net earn hags of the Road from local business, upon the incomplete section, were more than three times the interest upon the bonds which had been issued. This is an evi dence of prosperity which gives assurance of the Rayment of interest upon the bonds, and furnishes a powerful incentive to push the road to the earliest practicable comple tion. Full particulars and a valuable pamphlet may be obtained of the Company's adver tised agents.—Jachangc. More Deuxoeratle Victor Us.

Sergeant Bates called upon the President to• day to perform what be considered a very agreeable duty: That duty, be said, was to deliver to the residentthe kind messages for the Chief te of the nation which he had received In the swamps and in the wtods along the 'stretches of - pine forests through which his route now and then lay, at the lonely farm houses and in the vil lages, cities and towns. "Tell the Presi dent," said a gray haired man,"that we are praying for him. "Say to him," said hundreds, "God bless hlm." Many, very many, begged the Sergeant to tell the Presi dent that their hope was that Heaven would bless Andrew Johnson In his efforts to secure their rights in the old Union. "At Richmond, Virginia," continued the Sergeant, " a fine looking old lady, working a passage through the crowd, came to me as I was making my way out of the oily, and with the tears oonrsingher cheeks said, as she took my hand, ' Tell Andrew John son that ho has the earnest prayers of the matrons of Virginia for his welfare and happiness.' Gray haired mon, trembling with ago, invoked upon President Johnson Heaven's blessings. Just beyond Mont gomery, In Alabama, my fl ag was decora ted with flowers and a laurel wreath by a young lady, who said to her mother, as she returned to me my colors, ' I wish I could send with Sergeant Bates a bouquet to President Johnson l' They would dismiss , schools to meet me, and many of the little girls would want to kiss me and to wave my flag. My rooms have been decorated with evergreens, and in North Carolina girls strewed my way with flowers and pinned bouquets upon my breast. In pass ing through North Carolina and Virginia, ! I had a bouquet in my hand every+ hour of the day, I honestly believe, sir, in every State through which I have passed in my long journey I could raise a thousand men for the defence of the nag as quickly as I could anywhere in the entire Union, I have taken by the hand dozens of ex•confoderate soldiers whose warm grasp, quivering lips and moistened eyes' could not lie. In Georgia, 'for instance, I ?het a man who had served in the rebel armies, and who had bean watching for me along the road. Ho bad been engaged In chopping wood. I accompanied him to his home, distant about two miles. On the way he told mo the grave of his brother, who had fallen in the rebel cause, was not far from the roadside. I went with him to the ppot. Ho stood upon one side of the grave end I upon the other. A plain wood en hand board marked the place, and as I was reading the inscription he asked why such a bad state of feeling should continuo to prevail. Reaching his hand over the grave of his brother, I clasped it; and will any ono say I did wrong in taking by the hand one against whom I had fought, but who now was willing to eland by the old flag.? At the request of the President the ser geant explained the circumstances under which he had undertaken the long lournev whloh ho has just concluded. " Pericons,l' said ho, "made assertions which I believed to bo both foolish and unfounded. I con tradicted them, saying that I did not care far their individual opinions; but as per haps thousands believed as they did I would make a proposition that, if carried out, would disprove their theory. I thereupon made an offer to do what I have done. I did not think my proposition would be se• copied, nor did the principal person of those to whom I refer think I would dare to oarry out my plan. Ho, however, at once ac cepted my offer and dared me to fulfill its terms.. Ifs had declared for instance, that If the government would withdraw the military forces from the South and leave the flag flying the Union soldiers would hardly be out of sight before the colors would be torn down and tram pled in the dust. I replied that I was a poor man, that I was not in a condition to undertake the journey, bht that if he would give me a dollar a day for my family while I was gone I would go to Vicksburg and would alone unarmed, and without money carry the American flag from that place to Washington. I was told that my life would not be worth a cent ; that, indeed, I would never be permitted to leave ;Vicksburg alive. Articles of agreement wore drawn up, and I was dared to sign them. I did so, and thus bound myself to their performance.— I went :home, thought over the matter, saw that was a novel enterprise and would attract some attention, but did not Think it would receive the notice It has. I felt sure I would be treated well, and that the flag would bo respected; but I had no idea the people would take so much pains to show their respect for the ling or that I would receive such an ova tion, There was not, sir during the entire journey a breath uttered against the flag or myself, whether in the rich inane parlor or the poor man's cabin ' whether un the road or in the city, the old flag received the respect and homage of all, and I welcome end hospitality. I was determined to carry out the plan, I have done so, end when I reached NN'anhington I had not n pettily in toy pocket. I did not know where to get a meal or where to lind a resting place, I have hod money enough offered it,,, on the , route to make uto /quit tor Ilro, lajt I have not accepted u cent, nor Kivu I sold it photogreph, es some have Hold, During my journey, Mr, Prodi dent, I recaptured ono of our glop without expending a shot. It was a flag that had boon taken from us at Clinneollorsvlllo, and ; it wits handed to me by an ex-Confederate soldier, who hod preserved it at his home, Before I leave I will call on you to show., you a sash presented to me by the ladles of Montgomery, Ain., and which I promised when I reached Washington you should see. I hope on Monday next to leave for ; my home, near Edgerton, Wls., where I have ti wife and two children. The last , work I did before I loft was the cutting of two cords of wood. I left a tree partially ; cut, and I want to go home to finish it." Why 'I had. Stevens Nada War rpou thy Masons. A Washington correspondent of the N. Y. Herald calisup from the past the following bit of Thad. Stevens' personal history: Thad. Stevens, the long acknowledged leader of the House in Its radical onslaughts upon the constitution, the fiercest If not the strongest spirit of all the radical band, Ito peachtnent's foremost champion, was not always as successful in his schemes and efforts as he has latterly been us au expo nent of radicalism. At the time when the groat anti-Masonic excitement—born to life from the Morgan bugbear—swept over the land, like a tierce simoom, from Maine to Georgia, Thad. Stevens was a member of the Legislature of Pennsylvania. Espousing the cause of the anti-Masons from disappointment, and actuated by feelings of the bitterest ant• mosity against the Masons for reasons that will be made apparent, he introduced a re solution to the effect that the House, of which ho was a member, inquire Into the subject of Masoniy, with power td send for persons and papers. The House, largely anti-Masonic—the members as well as the Governor of the State having been elected upon the then tremendous issue of the day —adopted almost unanimously the resolu tion, and a number of well known Masons were summoned to attend the " high court" then in session at Harrisburg, to give evi • deuce in matters appertaining to the Ma sonic order, A thorough investigation was to be had in the premises and the secrets of the broth erhood laid bare to the world. The " devil," the "goat" and the "gridiron" were to be shown up in all their hideousness ; the fear ful and horrible rites and ceremonials were to be brought forth and exposed to the light of day, and the black monster, Masonry, was to receive its death blow then and there. Thad Stevens was the St. George who was to annihilate the dragon. On the day ap pointed for the commencement of the pro ceedings, which were to consummate the above, every member—and, as we have said, altnajority_ of the House were anti- Masons—was in his seat, anxious for, yet dreading, the uplifting of the curtain that was to reveal the hitherto veiled horrors that darkened the ceremonials of the Ma sonic brotherhood. The House was packed with Masons and anti-Masons, and among the former was a well known Mason, mas ter of a lodge in the State, who had been summoned to Harrisburg in relation to the matter then about to bo investigated in all its details, and him Thad, as grand inquisi tor, proposed to examine arm. When all was in readidess the self-consti tuted champion of the anti• Masons com menced his interrogation thus: "Are you a Mason ?" "I am, sir." "Do you belong to a lodge in this State?" "I do, sir." "What position do you hold in the lodge ?" "The position of Master." "What are the initial proceedings consequent upon the meeting of a lodge?" "The lodge is opened with prayer." "Well, goon, and state what follows." "I am waiting for your ques tions." "Well, what are the ceremonies incident to the admission of a member?" "He is balloted for, and if no votes be cast against him is admitted a member of the order." "What then? Please state the subsequent proceedings. What follows next?' "Mr. Stevens," said the witness, with a mischievous twinkle in his eye, " if, on the of —, 18—, you had been found worthy, you would have become a member of the Lodge in —, and would have been initiated in all the secrets and mysteries connected with the order, and would .have possessed a knowledge that, except he be comes a member, no. man ever will pos sess." The witness eat down. Stevens was thrown completely back upon his haunches by this unexpected thunderbolt coming from a serene sky, and, paralyzed from the effects of the blow, stupefied with astonishment, he ignominiously wilted.— The fact was, he had some years previ ously been proposed for membership, in one of the lodges of the State of Pennsylva nia, but was " black balled," which 'little circumstance" he supposed forgotten. The reminder, hurled at him at this particular juncture, knocked Lim completely off his pins. There was a universal buzz of satin faction from the large number of Masons in the house as the point blank shot of the brother went so true to its aim, and amid the commotion consequent from the mark being so squarely hit the further examina tion of Masonic witnesses was postponed until the next day. Itie needless to say this was the end of the matter. The whole thing, as far as legislative interference was con cerned, was very wisely dropped. Gon. S. P.

OUR SUMMER VISITORB.—Through the kindness of some friends from the Southern part of the county, we met :with tome old acquaintances whom we have not seen for seventeen years. We were glad to notice that these Messrs. Locusts appear extremely well and promise to look much better when they once era fairly prepared to make their debut into the fashionable worldsof 1868. Their present plain brown sults will, in a very few weeks, should the season_prove more propitious, bo thrown aside red they will assume a gayer and more beautiful dress, one more suitable and more becomtpg for the bright Summer days which will Rol be with us. We lost no time in Introduci g these strangers to a friend of ours, on North Queen street, whose extensive and. thorough acquaintance with the habits and customs of tho great nation of insects, represented by this self constituted committee, will enable him to entertain them far butter than we possibly could do and In a manner more befitting their station and deserts. This friend has since furnished us the followin,g interesting article, with reference to our visitors True to their traditional lustinets, the deventoen.year locusts "—cicada sepien dechn—ure working their way towards the light and heat of this upper world. Yes terdny, your " local " kindly placed In my possession live living spoeiniens of this in sect, in its pupal state. Those wore fur nished by Mr. John Wright, who picked thorn up from a plowed Bold, ten miles south of the city of Lancaster, near the Spread Eagle Tavern, on the Peachbottom road, where he soya they might have been gathered in thousands, being only about six inches below the surface, and turned up readily by the ploughshare. This is in ac cordance with the suggestion I made in my communication of last week, that where the frost is out of the ground, they would now be found at about that depth. Many people, otherwise highly intelli gent, seem to find some difficulty in be lieving that the Cicada, above alluded to, requires seventeen years for its full develop ment, only to enjoy a brief life In the upper air of some five or six weeks. It Is true, that the evidence upon which this theory is mainly founded Is of a circumstantial char acter; but then, like many cases in law, it is of such a nature as to be as conclu sive as positive proof. For instance, ever since the year of our Lord 1715, when the Brat recognized record of their appearance In eastern Pennsylvania was made,. just one cicadian cadence before the birth of Washington, they have appeared in vast numbers at the return of every seventeenth year, without fail ; and it will only require a few weeks more to demonstrate this fact to many, who will then see them for the sec ond, third, fourth or fifth time during their lives. But this is not the only evidence that the theory of their septendecenial periods rests upon. It is true, that I know of no observer who has watched their progress through all of the seventeen years—for their operations being conducted under ground, such a series of observations therefore become almost impossible—but I do know that they have been dug up at various periods, three years, five years, seven and ten years atter their regular periods, and they have been found ad hering to the roots of trees, with their beaks buried into said roots—almost up to their eyes—evidently living upon their sap. They have been frequently seen perforating the smaller branches of trees, and deposit ing their eggs therein. The eggs have been noticed again and again, when so deposit ed; and the young, on many well authen ticated occasions, have been observed, when hatched from the eggs, to leave the parent nest, in the form,.nearly, of the full grown pupa, and immediately bury themselves in the earth, beneath the branch from which they may have dropped. 'l%e anterior pair of feet are very much produced, and formed for digging, and therefore they have the power of passing from ono place to another, under ground, with at least as great facility as the common ground•mole, and possibly by this means they may keep down low enough to be be yond the influence of frost. Rut even this may not be necessary for, their preservation. Many hybernating inseets.become frozen as stiff and brittle as icicles, in winter, and as soon as thawed and warmed, become as active again as if nothing of the kind had happened. I have aeon frozen caterpillars revive and commence eating, in the month of January, in a warm room, when all na ture without was clothed in the chill garb of winter. Animation may possibly be suspended, in the' cicadas, during winter. The ground being hard and frozen I believe I have never dug aMy up during the winter season. It is not more remarkable, there fore, that this insect should require seven teen years for its full development, than that it should require a hundred years for some plants to reach their blooming period. S. S. R. • 1 hey were noticed nearly ono hundred years earlier in this county, elsewhere. SHERIFF SALES.—The Express states that the following properties were sold by Sheriff Frey on the Ilth inst.: A lot of ground with none and shalt story brick dwelling house, on the south side of Frederick street, this city, belonging to David F.

It seems that two horse drovers, for whom some car loads-of horses had arrived Isst last night, went out with four hired men to unload the. care; which were standing on Stewart's 'siding. A number of cars were standing on the siding which required to be moved before the bored .cars could be unloaded, and the hired men who went out with the drovers undertook to move them themselves; Peter Mulhattani the man em ployed by Mr. Stewart to take chacf the yard being in bed, but living, a djace nt to the yard. The watchman at the mo tive Works warned them that they had bettor call him up, but they refused to do so. Mulbattan, however, hearing the noise made by moving the cars, got up, and coming down to the siding, endeavored to prevent the party from changing the posi tion of the cars, his apprehension being that, as there were a lot of cars to be load ed this morning with cattle, they would bo moved so far as to make it troublesome to bring_ them back. They refused to obey him. however, and he went to Mr. Stewart's residence and called him up; Mr. S. had nearly reached tho yard when the aouident took place. It seems that the breaks wore taken off the cars on the siding, end when they were pushed down the track they went with such force as to run over the stop.block, and the first car, when the night train came along, projected from the aiding nearly half way across the main track. The consequence was, that the smokestack of the engine was knocked overboard, and the engine was otherwise badly damaged, although it ran on for several hundred yards before the ex haustion of the steam, which escaped from the broken valves, brought it to a stand.— Several of the burthen cars on the siding wore eatirely demolished, but were fortu nately thrown off from the train by the collision with the engine, so that no damage was done to the passenger cars, except to one sleeping Car, the glues in the windows of Which was all broken out on ono side, and the steps and one of the springs were demolished by coming in contact with the trunks of the burthen cars. The passen gers aroused so suddenly from their sium• bera were naturally somewhat excited over their narrow escape, and indulged them selves in the use of some energetic lan guage. They got away from here after a detention of a couple of hours.

It is universally admitted that on the com pletion of the Union Pacific Railroad, its through hURiUCSR will make It one of trio most profitable in the world—but Its way or local buninens is already several times the Interest on its bonds; so that, if not another mile were bulk, they would bo a secure Investment.
