Terrible Accident on the Columbia Railroad. ONE PERSON KILLED 4 TWENTY-EIGHT WOUNDED. The express passenger train - which left Phila- -- delphis at 11 o'clock on Monday night last, when near Ilestonville, met with an accident most painful in its consequences. The Ledger says : ---The-train cinisiiiedida -- loco motive; ,fign go car and two passengers cars, and was going up the grade at the rate of about fifteen miles an hour, when a rail broke into three pieces and threw the front wheel of the forward passenger car from the track ; the momentum of the train caused this car to regain its position on the track, but the rear car was thrown off, and the axle breaking, it was precipited down an cm .'bankrnent of about twenty feet. In the descent the. car struck a large tree, which split the car open and enabled the passengers to crawl out of the wreck. This was a fortunate circum stance, as the tire in the stove being scattered about by the descent of the car set the wood work on are almost immediately, and but for the facility afforded for their escape, some-of the wounded would have perished in the flames before relief could have been afforded them.— A uninjure. passengers and the attacheis of the road .did all in their power to rescue the wounded from the wreck. and as rapidly as possible they were removed to the forward car and made as comfortable as the facilities at hand would allow. When all were rescued and the track_ repaired. the train returned to the city, reaching the depot about half past 3 o'clock. A. M. - There were upwards of 40 persons in the car. One of the passengers, Mr. Abraham B. Hart, of Cincinnati, Ohio, was killed. He was found with a portion of the car on his neck and. breast. When taken from that position he was insensible, and remained so until he died, about half an hour afterwards. Everything that could be done for him, under the peculiar circumstances, was done, but up to the time he died he did not appear to recognize any one, nor complain of his situation. The body was placed in ice- to await instructions from his friends in Cincinnati, who were advised of the sad calamity by a telegraphic despatch. Yes terday afternoon an answer was received front the father of the deceased, who directed that the remains should be forwarded to Cincinnati as soon as possible. In accordance with these instructions the body will be sent on by Adams' express this morning. The deceased was a member, of the firm of William B. Hart & Son. merchants of that, city, and in his possession were found the evidences of his having pur chased largely of goods in this city and New York', and among other papers a ticket for a through passage &Um New York tO Cincinnati. He was about 22 years of age, -and is spoken of by Philadelphians who knew him well to be a young man of very exemplary character.— Mr. Cain was with the deceased on Monday evening until a short time before the train started, and advised him to wait for the morn ing train, but he was anxious-to get home as soon •as possible. and preferred going in the train which caused his death. Mr. Thomas 'S.. Watson, merchant, of St. Louis. Mo.. received a severe injury of. the thigh and was bruised in different parts of the body. Mr. D. A. Finney, member of the State Senate from Elie district. received several. bad bruises, and one of his eyes appeared to be injured.— Both were much swollen, but-yesterday after noon were better. ' Mr. E. G. Fahnestock, of Gettysburg, was cut under the right eye and down the-cheek to the'Meck. Nicholas Sheeran, of Paoli. was slightly cut in two places on one arm and burned about the head and hands. John Hoffman, of Washington county, Pa., was slightly bruised about the neck. Thomas Craig, of Carbon county, and Gen eral William Little. of the same county, were burned about the head and hands, and the lat ter gentleman received a cut in the head. Mr. Flint, of this city, and Mr. Sterling, of Pittsburg, were also slightly cut and bruised. Rev. Anson Rood, of this city, was cut in the head and considerably bruised. Mr. Cummings, of Logansport, Ind., was but slightly bruised. • Mr. R. B. Gigely, of Johnstown, Pa., Mr. Francis, one of the employees on the Columbia Railroad, and Messrs. Dunning, Anderson, Jones, Worthington, Roberts. Moore, Kelly, Patterson, Chanibers, Bull, -Search,' Johnson and Washington were also in the car, and re ceived bruises of a very slight_ character.— The most of these gentlemen started for their homes yesterday morning. - The intensity - of the cold heightened the la ferings of the wounded. There was no house near the spot, and the only place of refuge was the remaining passenger car and the baggage car. The scene is described as most appalling. There were no women or children in the car that went down the embankment. Dr. E. G. Fahnestock, of, this place, among the injured, was taken back to the residence of his brother-in-law, Dr. John Cox, in Philadel phia, and his friends here at once informed that he was badly hurt. His father and sister proceeded there with all dispatch, and were happy in finding him doing better than their fears had allowed them to anticipate. The latest accounts represent Dr. F. as do ing very well under the circumstances—so that he may be home in a week. In a letter received from him by his friends, a few days ago, he describes the accident in substance as given above by the Ledger. He says he occu pied the next to the back seat, and was asleep. when a sudden jar aroused him, and he felt that they were going over a precipice. The car struck a tree, and instantly took fire, but all managed to escape. Though severely wounded, he reached the car on the track un aided, and when he entered heard the excla mation, "how terrible he looks." His face was covered with blood, giving the appearance of being worse injured than ho really was. His only injury is in the face—being cut to_i the bone from the eye down to the neck. No other part of the body was injured. fr7ln Somerset county, on Wed s week, one boy was _accidentally killed by another. The tatter was playing with a re volver, by snapping caps on it, some barrels being loaded and others not. Accidentally he snapped a cap on a loaded barrel, and the ball entered his companion's head.

We propose to "start the ball" this week, and will follow it up as time and space may allow. The agitation of the subject of the formation 'of a new county out of the western part of York, must have been of a dozen or more years' duration.

We extract the following from an editorial the Montgomery County Sentinel, printed Rockville, Maryland, under date of January th, headed "The next Presidency." The editor says : We cannot for a moment doubt that the Democratic party not only deserves to be. but will be triumphant. If it selects a sound 'con stitutional 'standard bearer it must succeed. It has principles which will stolid any test— a history that will bear the most critical re-. view. All it wants is a man to carry out its measures. It contains within its ranks many Nvlw are worthy of the honor and who would 'add honor and dignity to the Presidential chair. But who shall be our standard bearer ? We have but to say that all we ask is a ster ling Democrat—a Patriot Statesman and friend of the Union. Such a man shall receive our Support, no matter from, what portion-of the Union he may hail. The old Patriot, General Cass, the favorite of the Democracy of Mary land, has retired from the field, and they will have to INstow their preference on another we hope no less deserving of them. Among the many spoken of, and at present the most prom inent, is the Hon. James BUCTIANJOT, Pennsyl vania's favorite son.. Time after time she has sent an undivided delegation to the Democratic National Convention, demanding his nomina tion by that body, and now again the Democ racy of the Keystone State, having elected a majority of delegates to the State Convention to meet at Harrisburg in March next, which will appoint delegates to the National Conven tion, ask from their brethren of the Union the nomination of their distinguished favorite. He deserves the honor. Apure Patriot, a constitu tional Democrat, and eminent Statesman, he has graced- the councils of the nation at home and has added dignity to our country's name at a foreign court. Popular throughout the country, his nomination would be equivalent to an election. THE Ksow NOTHING MODE OF ELECTIONEER.
