' informally selected, __but still most strenuous
efforts - are making by the Abolition portion of
i the order .to substitute Mr. Wilmot - in his stead.
The latter gentleman was promised This post
by the Whigs on condition that he would aid
in the election of Pollock, , and also keep the
North steady for the fusion candidate in 1856.
This was the bait which led Mr. Wilmot to
pursue the course he has. But now the fight
is over, the spoils are to be divided, -and hence
the difficulty which looms up in the distance.
The orighild Know-Nothings are for Conrad.
The eleventh hour Abolition converts are for
Wilmot, while the Whigs are endeavoring by
at kinds of tricks to mask their real weakness
from their allies. This is the present condi

nn'lle tone of the Democratic journals of
this state, since the late election, is any thing
but desponding. As for ourselves, we never,
aTter any of the many political reverses we
have undergone, felt .so little like despairing as
we do now. In this county, where so many of
the democratic nominees have been stricken
down, we have established the fact, that it is
peSsible for the democratic party to defeat a
whig,reven though heitave the entire support
of the Know-Nothings—in the state, the addi
tional fact is established, that the union of
whigs, know-nothings, abolitionists and tem
perance men must be merEcr, , to defeat the de
mocracy. , Not one of-the many screws of the
incongruous opposition machinery paust be
loose—not one of the thOusand wheels of the
allies must be out of place, or '!down goes their

Terrible Railroad Accident.
hOrrible accident _occurred on:Abe-NI--
agora railroad, in Canada,' on Thursday after-.
noon week, by. the collision between-a passen
ger and a gravel train, 13 wiles west of Chat
ham, by which 25 then, 11 women, and 11.
children Were killed ; and . 21 , men,, 20 women.
and children badly wounded, one lialf_probably
fatally! Such a wholesale slaughter has been,
rarely equaled in the history of railroads. ,
The Detroit Free Press, of the 28th ult., re
ferring to this accident, says: .
"Up to the hour when we receii , ettOttr latest
inrormation, fiftv-Seven persons had been taken ,
out of the wreck dead. or had died of the wounds
received. Besides these, it is ascertained that
thirty-nine were wounded, and it is feared that
•;Tmany-orthest. will be added - to the &tat
the killed.—About thirty-rive Were men, and
the remainder women and children."
:The Detroit papers contain many additional!
painful particulars of thif terrible accident._
The Advertiser says:
The appearance of the wreck—the mingled
mass of_broken_eari,—and-crushed--bodies---is---
declared by eye-witnesses to have been per
fectly indescribable. The engineer of the gray--
el train,. which had caused the destruction,
- - , - -
frightened almost out of his senses. at tne ruin, ‘;
fled as fast as possible from the Scene. The'
darkness of the night was intense, but by strip
ping boards from, a neighboring fence, and la- .
king fragments of the cars, fires were kindled,
which threw a lurid glare over the scene, re-
veal ing and adding to its horrors.
A few, among whom are those whose names
are mentioned - in our last, applied themselves
to the work of da'verance, and toiled for five
hours, before assi.,Lince came. The patriot
Meagher was 'distinguished for his zeal in the
work. His escape was one of the narrowest.
The sole of one shoe was taken off completely,
and his coat torn from his back, yet he was
scarcely perceptibly bruised. His hat, and
shawl he afterwards gave to some of the wound
ed, and when he arrived with whatever substi
tute fur his lost garments he could procure,
covered with blood and clay, he looked as
though he had conic from a well fought field.
The dead, as last as extricated, were lain togeth
,nd r
er, and covered - With canvass. Their loss seem
ed-happy compared with the wounded, who
were yet. waiting death in agony.
A young man from the East, whose leg was •
terribly-broken, never - uttered a - .sigh while
waiting his turn, and moaned but once when
being. removed. "Must I lose it !" said he,
in a subdued voice, as he gazed on the shatter
ed limb; and that was all. An elderly lady
,of went size, crushed beyond hope of recovery,
wished not to be taken into the cars, but calm
ly await death where she was. "Gentlemen,"
said.she, expostulating mildly, "you will find
it very difficult, I weigh two hundred and forty
pounds!" Tier perfect coolness in such an aw
ful moment was not surpassed on the field of
Alma or on the deck *Attie Arctic. Her remo
val was indeed difficult, but was accomplished.
The conductor, an old and hitherto fortunate
railroad employee, declared that "this was the
last of his railroading." He had done.

over Dan Turter's head. anet—left it hangin'
'round his neck, the handle flying about like a
long cue, and Char it hung till Jake Thurman
cut it off with a cold chisel next day! That
was his share for that night. sure. Another
feller got knocked into a meal barrel ; he was
as mealy as an Irish tater and as hot as a boas
radish : when he hnsted the hoops and came out
he raced a few ! Two fellers it out of the door,
down the hill into the creek, and there ended
it, in a quiet way all alone. A perfect mule
from Stock Creek hit me a wipe with a pair - of
windin' blades : he made kindlin' wood of
them, and I ht on hint. .We had it. head and

She hollered for her tidier, but oh, shaw ho

rubbin first his broken head, and then his blis-

given her a plenty, I pulled her off, and put her
in a good humor by givin' her soft sawder.
Well, I thought at first if I had a drink I'd be

first thing I saw was more stars with my eyes
shut than I ever did with them open. I look

locked horns without a word, that all alone
and Ido think we fit an hour. At last some
of the fellers beam the jolts at the house, and
they cum and dug us out, for we had fit into a
hole where a big pine stump had burnt out,
and there we was, up to our girths, a peggie
away, face to face, and no dodgin'.
