Sherman, and, from- present ap pearances, it looks as if the debate might be pro longed till the 4th of March- next, being post poned from time to time, to take 'up the appro.- priation bills and other matters which must be attended to. There la no "pre vious question" in the Senate, to stop debate, .o the Senators can indulge In long speeches to their heart's content. The anxious expectants ter confirmation for various positions, whose names have been alumberieg in committees for ateks east, have been flitting around the Senate lobbies for the last few days , looking disconsolate and heart-broken. "Wi ll the Senate hold an Executive session to-day?" is the anxious inquiry put to nearly every Senator who ventures out emu the chamber into the reception-rooms or •he lobbies. to take a lunch or "a hasty plate of -4 , up." ala General Scott. The Inquirers genet ...l,y look woe-begonerwhen they receive a neg a we reply, with the additional assurance that it to utterly impossible to predict when another Executive session will be held. Indeed, lee Senate just now seems in no mood ter "executive business," and theprobability is hat a great portion of the nominations now pending before the body will go over till after Match 4th, to allow General Grant to have a voice in the nominations. This seems to be the unveiling impression at this writing. I never saw so many female "lobbyists" as are 'ally in attendance in the marble room of the senate, waiting for "a few minutes' Interview" with Senators, and sometimes as many as half a dozen Senators are called out of the chamber at the same time to receive the visite and hates to the stories of the fair clatters. fhe magnificent dresses of these ladies chat n age admiration. Almost any day a score of them may be seen reclining languidly on the luxurious sofas and elegant re -1.1 piton chairs, waiting to see the grave and dig nified Senators; and did we not know they were Lean beyond such influences, we would suppose bat the fair lobbyists arrayed themselves in their most costly dresses, to add to 'their charms and operate upon the susceptibilities of the venerable eons. Nearly all these women are seeking flees, for themselves or their friends, male and temale, and not a few ate regularly enlisted to in securing the confirmation of some person, either for trieealehip, or "A consideration. ' Whatever their business may be, one thing is ertain, that there has never been witnessed such a display of femininity, bent on "public business" as the lobbies and reception rooms of the Senate have exhibited daring the, present week. The Same faces may be seen day after day and week after week, as if Intent on succeeding through , perse verance; and it really deed seam as It many do •ticceed through these. means, as it Is a difficult waiter for even a Senator to give , an emphatic "No 1" to a request for "a little favor," mace by a beautiful, fascinating and accomplished woman.

The Pan Handle Railroad &Meat Pa-rticulars by Mail A kRIGHTFUL CASUALTY The Pittsburgh Gazette of yesterday gives the following :particulars of an accident of which we bad a bare announcement by telegraph: ,; . Tuesday morning, while Plueburgh yet, buried in repose, and no sound of life' went op through the thick canopy of fog which over hung it, nor feet, save those of the, solitary watchman patrolling his beat, disarranged the deep, soft carpet of snow which covered Its thoroughfares, a train hurried out of the Union depot, and sped at_usual rate over the "Pan Ran dleniorid. Twenty minutes later there was a terrible'eccitlent at Cork's Run, a station on that line,'only a few , miles distant from the city. A. rail had been moved from its proper position, the engine and four care whirled over the dangerous point in safety; but the fifth and laid car was de tached, and, with its living freight, swinging down an ctobankment some eighty feet high, rolled over and over, until, with tearful crash, it atracklbe earth below, and was changed in an instant to a chaotic mass of broken timbers. From eleven to fifteen passengers were In the ill-fated car, and of these, three were found dead when the debris was cleared away. Three or four °there were more or lees seriously Injured, and two, who are said to have been on board, have since been missing. Below we give a full account of the sad affair, from particulars gathered by our feporter on the ground, a few hours after the occurrence. TILE TRAIN AND ITS INMATES. The regular mail train, known as No. 6, by the officers of the company, left the Union depot at three o'clock, on its way to Cincinnati. It was made up of a baggage car, an express ear, two passenger care and a sleeping-coact'. In the latter it is esud there were from eleven to fifteen per sons. though the General Superintendent, Mr. Dorrington, states that be coald only learn of seven—two gentlemen from Springfield. Ohio, a drover from Kentucky, a student from York, in tbis"State, a clergyman from Clearfield, and two other gentlemen of whose vocations or places of residence, he knew nothing. One of those who occupied a berth in the car claims there were at least twelve on board beside himself, and among them two ladies. Thus far, however, no traces hate been found of the latter and the report Is supposed to be erroneous. The conductor of the train wail John Blair; the name of the engi ot er we were unable to obtain. - Nothing unusual occurred until a point was reached about half a mile from Cork's run, where a flagman on the road signalled and informed the conductor that a land slide had occurred a few feet further on. The earth, he stated, covered the main track, and obstructed it so that it would be impoStible to pass over it. The train was now. sisitthed in on a side track, and anticipating no further delay, proceeded at the ordinary speed, and such of those In the, sleeping-coach as had been - aroused by the halt, resumed their berths and again sought refreshing slumber, ignorant of the fatal trap which awaited them a few perches on. TOE FATAL MAP. There are few more picturesque spots along the whole line than' that where the fearful acci dent occurred; and on Tuesday morning it must have presented a peculiarly striking appearance as it - lay enveloped in its soft, white shroud of snow. The-little stream known as Cork's run just bete rows into, sad is lost 112, the now swollen , tind Inuddy waters of the Ohio. Its coarse lies et the bottom of a ravine, from which ,if t e trotind.rises rather abruptly, on each aide, chaps a 'hundred feet or more, covered with •Ines and The trees, which vary and beautify t view. The railroad crosses this ravine at the he ght of from seventy to eighty feet. It was formerly supported by trestle-work, but lately the place has been filled up, and it now rests on what is supposed to be a good and reliable foundation. When the train arrived at this embankment, no fear was entertained by any of the officers on beard. The locomotive passed over as usual, the express, baggage and passenger cars tollowed. But now there is a sudden snap, a jolting of the forward portion of the train, a great rumbling noise in the rear—a few momeritamore, a fearful crash down below,and then the grim truth bursts on the engineer, who at once stopped the engine, and gave the saved passengers an opportunity to Fee the catastrophe for themselves. The sleeping coach had been detached and lay in the ravine, a wreck, already on fire. THE DEAD AND WOUNDRD The passengers who escaped unhurt descended at men to the run to ascertain bow affairs stood. They found some of the inmates of the car alroaay moving, others lying around the wreck wounded and groaning, and two they discovered dead, though not very badly mutilated. Having extri cated the bodies of the latter from where they were caught, they turned their attention to those who were hurt and found that they suffered chiefly from fright, save one gentleman, who was taken insensible from the debris, and who it was sup posed would scarcely survive. Some hours subse quently the body of a third man was found in the water, into which It had fallen and lain unper ceived during the darkness. Following is the list of casualties, afterwards obtained: John C. McPherson, lawyer, Springfield, Ohio, killed. John Allen a conductor In the sleeping-car, a resident of • Pittsburgh, killed. Rev. J 1 C. Archer, a clergyman of Clearfield, Clearfield county, Pa., killed. Henry 0.. . Barnett, manufacturer of water wheels, Springfield, Ohio, seriously injured; cut on the head, besides suffering severe internal in juries. John Rennike, drover, Cynthiana, Ky., cut on the face and right leg hurt. There were others who suffered more or less, but inasmuch as they proceeded to Steubenville, we were unable to learn their names. The bodies of Mr. McPherson and Mr. Allen were taken to a hotel at Mansfield, whither also Mr. Barnett was carried. Very soon thepeople residing in the vicinity of the scene of the accident hastened there, and before three o'clock a large crowd had assembled. Efforts were made to extinguish the tiro among the timbers of .the car, but they did not prove very successful, and they were burning until six o'clock last evening. There was a considerable amount of money scattered around the-place;bills and fractional currency of every denomina tion being Ricked up, and, if report be true, they. were not in - all.instances handed over tolte;Otfl dale. Mr.: Renniko, the drover noted abcive. , stated that a book containing about $l,OOO felt from his pocket during the. descent of the car, and he failed to find any trace of it. • Two gold, watches and two pocket books were found, all of which wore handed over to the owners. - TERRIBLE.

The Madrid Vos del Silo; of Deceratra 24, con-. tains, an article signed by its chief editor, Don Nicolas Azearate, and addressed to General Ser rano, as President of the Provisional Govern ment, reminding him of the ideas he had ex pressed and the offers head made, durisg his Ica g political career, in regard to the question of Cuba. According to - Senor Azcarate, the following is General Serrano's programme for governing the Spanish Antilles: 1. The African slave trade to be declared piracy. 2. The chlldren born of slave mothers to be de clared free. - • 3. Suppression of military government in , all grades inferior to the superior civil grade, ana al lowing that elevated post to be filled by civilians. 4. Governors of provinces to be named or , pro posed by the civil autierier, so that such offices may be tilled by persons of native birth. 5. The establishment of - a Junta, of Insular Assembly, with Me right to initiate measures of government and local adailnistration, -subject to the approbation of the Governor. • 6. Freedom of the press, and free corporations for municipalities and provinces, entrusting the government of towns to alcaldes or their ilea teepnts, with tho suppression of the military lieutenant-governors and district captains. 7.

By the immediateestablishment of_ these re forms Mr. Azcarate believes that arms will be laid down by the 100.000 'insurgents in the island. Then, he adds General Serrano can add to the title of the "Liberator of Spain" the no less glo rious title of the pacificator of Cabs. DRANIATIO AND NIIIIBIOAL. —The Parepa-Rosa Concert was thrown topsy tur%ey last night, by the driver of a baggage wagon. Ferranti's trunk did not arrive in time, and although ho had-his lungs with him, he hesi tated to venture to sing without his swallow tailed coat. Be the programme was broken up; and although four-fifths of the audience were not much thewper, a number of different pieces w ere substituted for thosee which were announced. Mr. BropkbOuee Bowldr, a One, clear robust tenor, with much facility and expression, began with the ballad "Bewhre." Mr. J. rattison, a New York pianist, and a stranger in this city, next gave a composition of his own, which was pretty, but not remarktdale for originality. -Mr. Paulson's execution is Very brilliant, bathe lacks expression. Illifineore piece, Prudent's/no/oiler, was more satisfatory than the first, but there was the same lacof warmth in the coloring. Mr. Pattleon is more a mechanical, player than a peat artist. But he is a very young man; and may do betterjhings after while., Big. Ferranti came out next in a sack coat, his good ,clothes having not yet arrived. Be aban oned the programme and sang the Lar:o at fuetotum from the Barber of Seville with unusual spirit.: He his a -very good baritone voice; and a manner that finds immediate favor with the au dience. Mad. Parepa-Rosa sang "Nie Nachte mix der &Mummer" from Der FreNschutz, with her old srace, and then gave the ballad "Forget Me Not" as an encore. Her voice is as fresh and beauti ful as ever, and the warmth of her reception last' night must have convinced her that she has not lost any of her popularity with our people. Mr. Bowler forsook the programme again to sing the Haritana air."l-et me like a soldier tall." Mr. Levy, the famous cornetplayer, came next, and; likewise Ignoring the programme, played variations of a ballad air, "The Exile's Lament." As a first encore he gave the "Carnival of Venice;" as the second, very intricate .variations of "Yankee Doodle." Mr. Levy fulfils, hi every respect, the high promise of the manager in his behalf. Re plays with wide expression; and hie it cation is simply wonderful. His manlpula (ion of the instrument in rapid and difficult pats sages last evening was surpassingly graceful. Fie is a sufficient attraction without any of his colleagues. The second division of the programme was ad hered to more closely. Bowler and Ferranti sung a duet. Ur. Yattison played a selection from Liszt, admirably; Madame Parepamßosa sang Slillard's song, "Waiting," and as encores, a little Irish ballad, and "Conlin' thro' the rye." Signor Ft rranti gave the anti-woman song, "Femmine, Femmine !" Mr. Levy flourished through a pol ka of his own composition, and the entertain- Inuit concluded with a laughing trio, by Tantal. On the whole, the concert was one of the, most pleasing ever given in this city, There Will be another to-night, with an entire change of pro gramme. —On Saturday evening next George Francis .Train will lecture at Concert Hall upon the sub, it ct "The English Baetile; or Train versus John Bull."
