Thtrroid being now supposed. to be clear the
York train again took the main track, and 'proceed
_,ed on,. and . , had scarcely got under way, when,
about three•quarters of a mile from the. Relay, and
aboui a mile from Etidees,"a terrible crash, accom
paniedAby 'a rush of steam, brought all who were
uninjured to their teal, • and on escaping from the
wrecked cars,n most bean : rending scehw present
ed iiself, that it were impossible to desbribe in all
its' horrors. • -
Immediately in advance of us was a train con
sisting of two pasiengei cms and the ten: unnhen
-cars, which had beetilued up to carry passeigeta,
all'of Which were Idled to overflow. 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.

Sia Your leiter bestow been received, inform
ing.me that Mr. Pettit, ma publiC speech in your
town, stated that I was the firat man to break the
Missouri Compromise—that 1 had a law passed by
Congress, annexing to the Mille a large tertitory,
&e. 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. Both parties to
the Compromise agreed to it, the free states being
unanimous. There was not even yeas and nays
upon it. The General Assembly of Missouri re
quested it. 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. I send , you some of my Nebraska
speeches, and hope you ,will find the chapter in the
" Thirty Years," and seethe( change in the line
was asked as a boon from the northern states, and
by them granted in a spirit of kindness, and in a
way to prove that they would not suffer anti sla.
very feelings to prevent them from doing an act Of
great favor to the state of Missouri, and for which
all Missouri was thankful at the fiats, and I am
still.' Mr Pettit must (eel that his cause is villa:l
-oos when he can thus stiuid op before bia constitu
ents to falsify public history, and to justify his own
violation of the Missouri Compromise, by telling a
lie upon me.

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.

Otr HON. N. STRICICAND.—•The appointment of
the Hon. Nimrod Stricland of Chester county, as
Warden of the Eastern Penitentiary is at once ju
dicious, and will give satisfaction to a large ciicle
of friends. His nni t uestioneil integrity, Wei moral
character and intelligence will make him an admi
rable officer. Mr. S. was long engaged u editor

Oa Tuesday last at about one o'clock, A. M , a
two story'framed building being erected by Gin.
H. Houma, on Main below Bridgrist. was discos
covered to be on file Being partly completed, and
tilted with shavings and other - combustible matter,
the building was soon enveloped in fismei, and
destroyed. Franklin Fire Company, with their en
gine, were immediately upon the ground; and sae
ed a small building occupied by SAMS= WALL.
BRIDGE from destruction.
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. M., another
alarm of fire was given proceeding from ihe burn
ing of a stiiinty at the; brick yard below town.
The occupants narrowly escaped with their lives
through ihi3 windows. 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. Bullard, an
agent for the sale of Monk's new Map of North
America, is now canvassing ibis section of our
country to obtain subscribers to the work. The
nap is in many respects superior to any one here
tofore published. embracing more territory, on a
larger scale; exhibiting all the United States and
Territories, including Washington and Nebraska,
with their boundaries according to the recent acts
of Congress showing the overland routes to Califor
nia and Oregon, &c., &c., Also on the same sheet
is a new map oftt►e World, on Mercators's Pro.
jection, on a new plan, showing the exact geogra
phical position of our country, surrounded by the
other portions of the globe. the agent has many
testimonials from distinguished gentlemen of the
country, speaking io high mune of the work, bin
the best recommendation it can have is a careful
examination, compared with other recently pub.
fished maps.. We think that no person can exam
ine this work with care, and tail to think it the best
one yet published. We hope the agent may meet
with a large and ready sale.

Second—The proposed plan of not issuing lea

vessels are bound. in the coasiof Africa, is a meta•
sure that does honor !ditto statesmanship and bean
of the eloquent Senator from Delaware, bat it will,
prove to be no remedy for abrogating the treaty, or
withdrawing even apart of our small African fleet
It will be metier-11ml, ; for now , mauy American
slavers still retain : their register, and even if they
did not, tfili Sesser with her sea lever, procured

and when out at sea, shape her course for the Af

very American_ teasel will be prepared to show
her Brazillian of Spanish papers to the American
cruisers, provided one should be fell on the coast,
and be passed on ; while the next day she will pre
sent her sea letters as evidence of American ,

We have carefully examined the report of the
Senate Committee, and read the.debates. We have
on the other-hand, pursued a like course with sew
end newspaper articles prepared by intelligent and
well informed gentlemen, and we perused " Afri
ca and the American Flag." by Commander Foote
who was far two pars stationed on the African
coast strictly carrying not the letter and spirit of
the treaty, and oar conviction is, that while Mr.
Clayton's proposition to issue no sea letters to yes
eels bound to the coast of Africa should be adopt
ed, we do say most positively, that if the United
States are in earnest in their declaration to suppress
the foreign slave trade in American vessels ; that
if they mean to afford protection to the rapidly in
creasing legitimate trade between the two countries
and if they look lavorably on Airman colonization
and the cause of Christian civilization in that vast
continent, they with not listen to the Atitibution
treaty being abrogated or the African squadron be
'mg recalled, balm the contrary,they will increase
that force by the addition of two or three small
steamers. as being better adapted to the supptes

The Girard House caught fire at the cornice,
which was of wood, but was eventually laved with
much difficulty.
From the Museum and Theatre the flames spread
eastward, to the adjoining houses on Chesnut Sexi

Many of the valuable pictures in M Earle's galle

the progress of the flames The Girard House
