This train, was backing down towards Baltiiiore, the Whom°. live being at the rear, and the two passengerp cars at the head of the train. The locomotive.. on the York train was going ahead in. its usual position, and although neither train ' , was moving at extra speed,the two passenger cats at the head of the excursion train,,offiaretl but little •reiiiitance,. and were completely crushed together, the rear car panting entirely throngh the forams( one, and both b-,ing filled with passengers, the destruction elide and limbs was'almost unprecedented." The centre of the formost car was ailed with the dead,. dy - ihg and wounded, all Wedged together in one mass(with the fragments of the car and the seats, so compact that it requited a half hour's time• and the use of axes to rescue the wounded. A number of females anJ children were taken out from among the dead ticamely injured, whilst through the floor of the car could, be seen the protruding limbs of some who had been instantly tarok dell. Among the dead in the centre of this oar was Mrs. Roborson, named in the list below, a young and beautiful wothan, and - Henry Clay Jeffers, the aon.ot Madison Jeffers, a bright and beautiful boy, the bodies of whom were wedged among the trug• meats of the twn ears, ,which had been run through each other like a telescope that it was impossible to extricate them without liauling'oti the fragments of the upper car by the locomotive, which was also necessary to release the large number of unfelt*. nave creatures who still remained wedged between the forward cars, some still alive and otherer dead In removing the cars, Mrs Roberson's body was i literally torn to pieces, but in the effort to recover those in whom life still remained it b. came neces. sary to disregard the dead. ' tin all the platforms of the wrecked cars the de. stroction unite and limb was immense, and the cars being so zlosely wedged together if was at. telly impossible for more than an hour to relieve any of them, although the screams of the suffers caused the most superhuman exertions for their succour. On the platform al the head of the Excursion train four men were caul a by the tore-part of the engine, two of whom were ins artily killed, and the other iwo fast by their limbs, colleting the moat excruciating agony, and almost roasted by the smoke pipe of the locomotive They both fainted from.eahaustation before they could be rescued, requiring more than an hour of incessant-tither, and one of them subsequently died. Two or three were instantly killed also, on the front platform of the Yak train; nte of whom was Benjamin Merryman, the baggage master, who met death standing manfully at his post at his break, en deavoring to check the destruction. The accident occurred at twenty minutes past .fire o'clock, it was hall past seven o'clock before the last body was taken from the wreck. A powerful built man, one tilthe men connected with the engine, was drawn out froncihe loins at o'clock; with severe bodily injury, but the mo. meat he was relieved from the premium he became insensible, and in his dying agonies hie body fattly bounded Rom the earth . 'Messengers were sent to the city, immediately after the accident, for relief, and a number of phy ticians were 80011 on the ground, as also were a number horn the, vicinity, who labored unrewit tingle io relieve the sufferings of the unfortunate creatures strewn about. The trains from the oily did not, however, reach the scene athe at,'Pident, until alter 8 o'clock, in the morning, at uhich time there was about 3 000 awaiting conveyance home, all the excursionists having arrived frpm the scene of their festivities at the scene of death. The firm train carried in the women and chil dren, and the second the wounded, who were all taken to the ihfiirnary for medical assistance, and .reached the City about 12 o'clock at night, some of them satiating intensely. Not less than a thous and of those that escaped injury walked home by the Fall's Road, many carrying their. children in their arms, through heat and dust, for nine miles. The dead bodies were brought in about one o'clock at night, twenty-four in number, and when spread out on the platform at the depot, presented a spec. tact° of the most horrible character. _An inquest was held' on the bodies by Coroner Rountree, but we believe no verdict was rendered, that being withheld until a thorough investigation can be made as to the cause date accident.

Sir, your senwor is a great liar and a dirty dog, talsifyinst public history for a criminal par. pose. The Missouri Compromise line was not vi plated in annexing Platte county.

We applied to the members personal ly and individually for their consent, which they gave; end without their consent nu movement was made, or would have been made. The journals prove this. There is a full account of it in my "Thirty Years' View," in the chapter headed " Extension 'of the Missouri Boundary' -.-also in my late Nebraske speech it is briefly alluded m, and that is probably all that the dirty dog knew, about 11,-and which helalsified to answer his erim ilia! purposes.

The Recent Hes rib's Murder at Dan drige, Tvau.---Arsest of the Murder er..Baralng Illas,Allve at the Stake. A correspondent of iheithatis Post under date cf June 20, furnishes the following 'particulate of the recent horrible murder int Handl edge, Julierson county, Tenn., and olthe,rirreatund,bOroMg at the stake of the murderer: a A tragedy hasjuirbeen enacled io tlus vicinity, more awful and huiriblellhan has ; ever before oc. curred is any peaceful , Moore and his wile had lived together some ,eight Imo upon *I farm on French Broad River, rtear.the mouth of Cheeky. They'haiftio children: Miss Lotspeech, the sister of Mrs. M was hype; with them. She was a young lady much eareented by her acguain lances, as auniable, prudent and modest. Moore and iris wife were'clever, respectable people He owned a nevi . man named Tum;about 22 years of age, who had been raised in the family, and was adniined to many familiarities and liberties such as are too olieu allowed to slaves , by those who own but few. This slave and two sdnall free ne gro boys, hired by Moore, walked on the farm • The slave Tom had been insolent to the family, and especially to Miss Lootpeeeb, and ought 10 have been arrested, but Moore was desirous of having his labor in the clip at this particular time, and was perhapsiromevrhat afraid of the negro.— He therefore suffered the negro still to bee in the family. On last Wednesday the slave Tom sent away the free negro boys to the4mother's, not , far distant, and in the night etvered the house white Moore and his wife were in one' bed, and Mi ss Lotspeech in an other bed in an opposite eorner9l the same room. He en eied the wont with a lamp and axe. He snuck Moore in the head a blow with the edge of the axe, causing such inStant death that be did not, when first discovered, appear to have moved. Several wound., appearatidy .given with great forge with axe, were found upon and about his head. Mrs- Moore awoke, sprang from the i bed, and contended with the new.) in defence of her husbAn.f. Toe negro inflicted several would upon Mrs. M similar to those upon her hut:rends and lilting tier from the than, threw her upon tab bed, where she died in a few mimeos. While the Crier comes; was pending with Mrs Moore, liereister,'Miss Lnispeech, 'started to her relict The negro struck her upon the aim and brake it ; tie theft threw her upon ►he bed and vi olated her with many acts of barbarity and inhu manity not to be repeated. She resisted and fought to the last. Her screams alarmed him so, den he killed her by a blow upon the back of the bead, and then made his escape. The ilex! day the -whole neighborhood assembl ed, and all who were tbere say that the sighs Lathe murdered dead was the moos awful that could be imagined. The whole neighborhood turned ow upon a diligent: search Istr the murderer, and on Sunday he was arrested; not, however, until he had received a severe flesh wound hom a rifle ball. The monster made a full, though , not voluntary confession, which is confirmed by other evidence. On Monday, after a general public notice through. out the country round, in the presence of au as sembly, and by the expressed approbation of every, individual present, the negro was chained ma stake and burned to ashes.

Mr. Bunting's building was intended as a shop, into which he intended to have mowed the next day. Them was no insurance, and there can be doubt that the building Was fired by an incendiary, as there had not teen any fire in the,building. On Thursday at two o'clock, A.

A portion of the furniture was removed. The building was owned H P. Monet whose lose is about 6200. The origin of the fire is unknown. Tire CROPS.—Our farmers are now busily engag ed in haying and harvesting, but we regret to learn, with less prospect of returns for their takers than in former years. The wheat crop appears to have been injured, in some places, by being wt tier kill. ed, and we hear an almost universal complaint of destruction by weevil. In early fields, this insect has not done so much damage, but late wheat is in many instances, totally destroyed. We should jadge, that not more than half the usual crop will be harvested, in this County. Rye is unusually fine ; grass an average yield, and unless affected by drouth, corn, buckwheat and potatoes will turn out well. If the present high prices continue, though their crops may be somewhat short, farmers will have no reason to complain. BlAr OF NORTH Assartics.—Mi' . D.
