ipm 83 to 100 passonirers, including women
and children, reached Hie river at 11 o'clock
at DiKht, and, the budge looking secure,
jisssed In ; but bo sooner bad tbe locomotive
treasured its length npoo tbe bridge than
some 40 or SO yards of tbe structure gate

abjss below.
All tbe spats In the rmssengar roaches
were torn and shoved in front, carrying men,
women and children in a promiscuous heap
down the declivity aud burying them beueath
tbe crushed timber, or throwing them out of
tbe cars tbrougb the broken sides. .Some
were mangled by tbe machinery tearing
through the timbers; several were caught
between planks, pressing together like a vice.
Others were struck by parte of the roof as it
rams down with mighty force, and still others
were cut with pieces of glass. In the midst
of this confusion the t wo last cars of the train
went down pitching the passengers into the
wreck, or throwing them into the water,
which at this point is about a foot and a ball
to deptb. Only three persons J. W.
Parker, Superintendent of the United States
Express, Mr. Mars, Mail Agent, end Mr.
Hoger were able to afford assistance to the
suffering tbe remainder of those who were
not killed outright being eo disabled as to be
helpless.
After doing all that was possible for those
requiring immediate attention, Mr. Ilager at
midnight left tbe wrecb to go to St. Joseph
for medical and otbor assistance, lie walked
five miles of the way, when be found a band
car. upon which he proceeded the remainder
of tbe journey. Two hundred yards west of
the bridge be discovered a a heavy oak rail
road lie strongly strapped across tbe track,
Bod a fuw miles farther on be fouud the
trestle work over a small stream on fire,
which, however, had oot as yet been so badly
burned that trains could not pass over or
could not be easily extinguished.
Arriving at St. Joseph, the alarm was soon
spread throughout the city, and, although it
was 1 o'clock ot night, seventy five men,
including all the physicians in tba neighbor,
hood, volunteered their services, and, at 3J
o'clock a traio fully equipped, supplied with
medical stores and other necessaries, was at
tbe scene of tbe disaster.
The wounded bad emerged from tbe wreck
and were lying on tbe banks and opon a sand
bar in tbe river. Seventeen dead bodies were
recovered, aod it is believed that tbis number
embraced all who were killed op to this time
Two are so badly mangled that it is not ex
pected they would survive till morning, while
many others were dangerously wounded, and
would have to be well taken care of to
recover. Many wbo will escape with their
lives, will be maimed and crippled.
Mr. linger, our informant, did not remain
to finish the embarkation of the wonnded. for
St. Joseph, bnt was despatched to Brookfield,
which is east of tbe bridge, for another train
to go to the wreck. W ben he left, tbe names
of the wounded were beinc taken down, and
also such or the dead as had papers or other
articles about them by wbicb they could be
identified.
Fifteen miles east of tbe Piatt river, Mr.
Ilager found another bridge over Smith's
Branch, almost entirely burned, having been
fired after the truiu passed : West, thus
preventing assistance being sent from tbe
East.
Lientenant Show, of the Eighth Kbdsbb
Regiment, killed, and Mr. Louusberry and
Sidney Clark, wounded are tbe only addition
al names we bave at present.
Washington, Sept. 10.
To day, after the Seventh Pennsylvania
Keg i input bad returned to their camp, three
of tbe men of Company D were sitting on tbe
ground, examining a pistol, when it suddenly
went oft', the ball passing through the brain of
Mslhew Roche, of the Lock haven Rifle
Guards, killing bim instantly. His comrades
are sorely distressed at the result.
Some two houdred clerks are daily, or
rather nightly, engaged in tbe Treasury De
partment, clipping Treasury notes, while at
least thirty are busy signing them. These
clerks do not receive extra pay lor their ex
tra service, as might bo supposed by tbe unin
itiated. Tbure is some difficulty abtat the new
postage stamps, particularly among the coun
try postmasters. It should be distinctly un
derstood that the old stamps ere good at every
post office until the now ones ate furnished to
tbe Postmaster. Tbe new issue is unavoida
bly delayed.
The Uebela are said to be building a rail
road from Stracborg to Harper's Ferry, but I
cannot vouch for tbe truthfulness of the story.

Perhaps oo Convention ever held in Nor
thumberland county has presented a stronger
ticket tbao tbe Union ticket formed on
Monday last. Tbe Convention, lUelf, wbicb
was fall, mast bave struck all acquainted with
the individuals composing it, as one of tbe
most respectable aod intelligent bodies of tbe
kind ever held in this county. It was com
posed principally of solid, substantial business
men farmers, mechanics, and others men
of character and standing. In the formation
of tbe ticket, political wire workers and
scheming politicians were not consulted, .but
most of tbe men selected to fill the offices
were constrained to accept against their Own
wishes, as a sense of duty.
It is well known that E. Y. Bright, Esq
wbo is our caodidate for Assembly, bad long
since retired from political life, so far as office
was concerned, but all loyal Union men'
Democrats and Republicans, concurred that
he was the man for the times. His enter
prise, business habits, and experience in
Legislative matters, induced his friends of all
parties to insist upon bis numiuation. That
he can be, and will be elected, is already a
fixed fact.
For President Judge, Hon. J. V. May.
nurd, of Lycoming, a highly competent man,
was nominated.
For Associate Judges Joseph Nicely and
William Deppin, Esqrs., were selected. We
need not say to those wbo know these men
tbat a better selection sould not bave been
made. Joseph Nicely is an intelligent and
respectable farmer, of Delaware township,
io politics a liberal minded Democrat. lie
was, at one time, County Commissioner, an
office which be filled with signal ability. No
one will question bis fitness for the office.
William Deppin is well known throughout
tbe county, but particularly in tbe lower end.
Id tbe Mahanoysbis name is fumiliar to every
mao, woman and chile, and it will go Hard
for any of bis Mahanoy friends to vote against
bim. Mr. Deppin is a modest, liberal minded
man, in politics a Republican. lie bas been
a merchant and Poet Master at Mahanoy for
more than twenty years, but within tbe last
few years bas resided in Trevorton. Billy
Deppin cannot be beat.
For Register & Rocorder, Dr. J. B. M asser,
tbe present incubent, was selected. Having
filled that office one term to tbe entire satis
faction of tbe Bar and all who buvo bad busi
ness io the same, tbere was no reuson why he
should be removed. Tbe fact that he was
previously defeated for nomination by the
Breckinridge faction, should operate in bis
favor, as tbe opposition to him was caused
solely because be was a Union Douglas Demo
crat, and refused to commit himself to their
measures.
For Commissioner, Mr. George Chrietman, J
of Turbutville, has been nominated. Mr
Cbristmao is said to be a worthy and compe
tent man. and comes before tbe people well
recommecded by bis neighbors.
For Treasurer, Joseph Vat; kirk, of Point',
has been selected. Mr. Vankirk is an indus
trious farmer, active, and of good business
babits. Those who know bim best, Bay be
will make an excellent officer.

With them the regimental tailor was a
more important personage than a Uroertil

ral tailor required a combination of rare
qualities. In our recent experience, an
army was created almost by tba 'founding
of a bugle. Tbe ' Cameron's gathering"

WHO ARE THR DEMOCRATS?
The Union ticket will be, no doubt, repre.
sented as a ticket in opposition to tbe Demo
crats, aod by some aa a Republican ticket.
Now it certainly cannot be both, and it
canoot be either. The fact is, it is a purely
patriotic ticket, a ticket for our country, and
the only ticket true Democrats should vote,
io wbicb the word party is not to be known.
The difierent parties, except the Breckin.
ridge or Southern party, bave agreed, as it
were, oo a Sag of truce, in which all political
divisions are to be forgotten end buried until
the war is over, and Ihe rebels subdued, and
be wbo now talks about tbe claim of party
aod gives preference to one candidate over
another, oo accouct of party, cannot be a
good patriot or a good Uuion man, and any
professed Democrats wbo renlly thinks the
Democntiu party, after th war is over, is
not strong enough, in the justice of the
principles upon which it was founded by sui b
men as JehVrson and Juckson, to rise agnin
as bright as ever it was before it was corrupted
hy hucu demagogues as make up the Breck-
iurnlge faction, are either too stupid to
understand its principles or too knavish to
pract ice them. Such men are guided by love
of office instead of love of country. In
forming the L'oioo ticket the object was to
select the best men, most of whom did not
want to be candidates. On the Union ticket
there are oo candidates who thiuk tbe party
must first bs cared for, aod the couutry
allerwarda.
It was very oaturai that tbere should bean
honest difference of opinion in tbe choice of
candidates, but we can hardly suppose tbat
any true Union man would encourage by
dissensions the false charges of our Breckin
ridge opponents, who argue that the Lnion
parly was organized merely for the sake of
office. In a great contnst like this, such
course would bo humiliating indeed to every
true patriot.

of the Confederacy by the Powers of Europe,

II. B. Masskb, Esq.. Dear Sir ; In lack of
tbe usual facilities, my writing must be liiiii-
ted and condensed Our Regiment, under
Col. Stevens, though less than 500 effcective
men, wug ordered here on last Tuesday night,
from Camp Hope. Intelligence bad been re.
ceived that the enemy was advancing and had
shown much impudence. Io less thau two
days an immense l-Vderul force was assembled
at this point, ranging atiout a mile uiong toe
banks of tbe Potomac, and extending about a
mile and a half inland. Gee. Smith has com
mand, with his Headquarters on the main
road leading too Lees-burg. Col. Stevens has
command of tbe left wing, numbering 4.000
or 5.000. By Thursday evening formidable
breastworks were thrown op on tbe highest
bill, which is bo admirable military selection,
end commands a wide range of country. In the
Fort, which includes an are of about two acrs,
and io my judgmeut, is superior to Fort Core-ran,
there are many 32 pounders, and one
G8-pounder. Outside there is a trench to be
nsed as a rifle pit. In front there are nume
rous masked batteries, surrounded by foiled
timber, whicb will very materially impede the
enemy's progress. The timber bas been near
ly all felled for some distance io aud around
the mtrenebments.
Iu our vicicily are other forts, ond I under-
staud that all along the line of tho Potomuc
there are ample preparations made to receive
the enemv. Here oo the left, at an elevation
from whicb you can plainly see the domo of
the Capitol, some seven or eight miles dis
tant, we bave also breastworks, rifle pits, and
many pieces of ordinance. It is highly proba
ble that all these preparations, wbicb have
been made in an incredibly short time, operate
to hold the enemy in check. Yesterday and
the day before, a rebel flag could be seen at a
distance of about two miles from our lines, and
we were in hourly expectations of an attack.
But np to this (Saturday) morning we are in
statu quo. The impression seems to be gain
ing ground tbat tbe Rebels are beginning to
see that tbe call for 400,000 Union troops is
a sober reality, and that witb them discretion
would he the better part of valor.
Yoo may rest assured tbat our Government
is truly in earnest now, and that (ioneral
McCletlan is theman for bis work. I can see
the most manifest improvement io our milita
ry operations. Col. Stevens, as well as uen.
McClollan. is a rigid disciplinarian. He told
me the other day. tbat be was "a perfect Oli
ver Cromwell oo tbe subject of religion in tbe
army," and tbat he felt greatly the importance
of a chaplain, especially when going into ac
tion. "If you cannot pray with the Regiment."
said he. "I want von to er.iy in secret, lor I
have the most implicit confidence in prayer,
I have noticed, also, that since the battle of
Hull Run. no movements are made on the
Sahbatb, as bad previously been the case.
Yesterday, a Captain of the 5th Wisconsin
Regiment, quartered oo tbe same bill with us,
went oot some two miles scouting oo horse
back, or.d happened to fall in witb four rebel
scouts. He wss immediately ordered to sur
render. The Captain, putting bis hands be
hind his back, apparently to preseot his pis
tols, cocked tbem, and drawing them round,
ore in each hand, instantly tired tbem both,
and killed tbe two mounted scouts. Those on
foot then fired at bim while he was retreating
in foil gallop. One shot took effect slightly
in his left arm, and tbe other penetrated botb
cheeks, without, however, doiog the slightest
damage too a good set of teeth. Tbe wound
ed Captain is not much burt.
I saw two live rebels under arrest oay De-
fore yesterday at the Headquarters of Geo.
Smith. Tbey had an impudent appearaocc.
God grant that tbis wicked rebellion may
soon be put down.
Yours. Truly,
P. RIZER, Cbaploio 79th Reg.
