Senator Wallace on tha Laiie3.
Wc were pained to read the following ex
tract frtn the Harrisburg Tf'tjniph of the
24th inst. We had expected better things
of Mr. Wallace, and we sincerely hope, for
the honor f our town, that he may le able
to explain or disprove the charge that he
was guilty of such a wholesale slander against
t he ladies employed iathe Departments at
Washington, among whom is the accom
plished widow of the late lamented Stephen
A Douglas.
'"A Base Slander of the Ladies Kx
gaold i the Departments at Washing-tox.s-The
Government has seen fit to em
ploy a larec number of ladies in various ca
pacities in the Departments at Washington
ity. These are mostly the wives, daugh
ters and sisters ot soldier. In allusion to
t his fact, Senator Wallace, during the de
livery of his studied tirade of treason on
Tuesday evening last, in the Court House
in this city, deliberately and emphatically
declared that such employees were nit wo
jnen of doubtful characters, whose presence
in the Department might be regarded as a
mere assignation for the aeeoumr dation of
Lincoln's hirelinas or words to this effect.
The gentleman who communicated this fact,
listened carefully, to Serator Wallace's
speech, and he is certain that the Clearfield
copperhead intended delilterately thus to
impugn the character of the ladies in the
o iii ploy of the Government at Washington.
THE COPPERHEAD MEETIKG.
The Copperhead Meeting last night, as
as to be expected after -so much prepara
tion, waa well attended. The usual display
of flags,-and no-little halloing and scream
ing, were indulged in. The most prominent
feature, however, of the affair, and the one
iij on which they prided themselves most,
was a transparency bearing the likeness of
their distinguished "friend" John Johnston,
iuperaunated uegro. If the photograph
of gome of the family of a "Democratic''
Ki-Vice President of the same name had
been added, the picture would have been
complete. .
Tie oratory waa varied. The first per
formance was that of a young man named
Ui-.ik oly, whose profane and outrageous lan
? -ige disgusted even his own party. Sena
te Latta, of Westmoreland, indulge ! in the
classical, and Wm.TL Witte, Esq.. of Phil
a'Wj.iiia. attended to the discussion of the
lsai and historical aspect of the case. All
of them seemed to think that Mr. Lincoln
was a great tyrant and usurper ; and as they
had nothing to say against Jeff. Davis and
the traitors South, they probably regarded
'he latter as a patriotic and deeply injured
c'i's of peoplel - Many of their statements,
to speak mildly of them, were extravagant,
and must have borne heavily upon the cre
dulity of their admiring hearers. -
The performances were concluded by Sen
ator Wallace and Representative Boyer, in
eir usual style. - ; -: " '
regret that our limited space and
hae this morning prevents ua frpm fully re
'win the speeches made on thia occasion.
rr.Iu3irULEAILP.3AD ACCIDENT.
A Luge cumber of Persona killed an 3 tlieir
Bodies consumed.
About four .o'clock on Wednesday morn
ing of last week, the last line train going
Euston th-3 Pennsylvania Central Kail ltoad,
ran into a coal train at ' lhompsontown, US
miles west of Harrisburg, causing a fright
ful loss of life, besides severly injuring a
large number of other passengers. The re
sponsibility of the accident seems to rest
with those having charge of the coal train,
which Lad stopped at the fetation for water,
for the usual precaution was neglected ot
sending a signal-man to the rear to warn the
approaching train. Whether he was run
ning under orders, or was ignorant of the
fast line train's time , is a question not yet
decided.
The passenger train consisted of one bag
gage and seven passenger cars. Owing to a
short curve, the engineer did not discover
the coal train until be was within fittj- yards
of it. lie immediately reversed the engine
and applied the patent breakers, but the
check came to late to check, the momentum
of the heavy train.
Scarcely more than a second elapsed be
fore the locomotive had leaped entirely
through the coal car, and half the next,
shivering them to fragments, and dashing
their contents in ever' direction, and turn
ing over almost bottom up. The engine was
badly shattered in the encounter, and the
top of the steam chest having been broken
of, the steam and water rushed out with
great violence, tearing -an irregular jagged
hole in the ground from which the earth
roe like a vast geyser, and settled in f howr
ers of mud upon the tops of the highest
trees within a radius of .sixty or seventy
feet. The tender did not leave the track,
and was but little injured.
The baggage car was elevated at the rear
end from the fruek. when he whole momen
tum of the rest of the train was instantly
expended in driviugthe baggage car so com
pletely through the first passenger car that
the frame work of one fitted clo.-ely and en
tirely within the other. Mr. Mc-Greggor,
the baggage master, was the only person in
this car. escaping with but a few slight brui
ses. The first passenger car was however,
quite full, containing at least fifty persons,
manv of whom were women and children.
iht-.-e were, irotu the nature of the collision,
either crushed under the " baggage car. or
driven in a mass to the rear o.' t lie car, the
doors of which were locked, as if to make
dea h doubly sure, and escape, so to speak,
the more impossible. But most horrible to
tell, the crash of wood, iron and glass were
scarcely over when names were discovered in
the rear of the car, and within four minutes
had enveloped this holocaust of dead, dying
and mangled human beings in one common
funeral pile.
It is notkuowu whether the fire origina
ted from the stove or from the gasometer,
the latter being most probable. However,
it started so quickly, and spread so rapidly,
that the passengers, who immediately on the
collision hurried from the rear cars to the
front, only reached it in time to find the
names already under headway, and be cmu
pelie.l to listen to the horrid chorus of the
crackling flame of the cars, the agonizing
groans of men, and the rending shrieks and
screams of women and children,' powerless
alike either to quench the flames or r kcivj
the hapless victims from their prison of
tire. But one axe could be obtained, al
though little or nothing was accomplished
even witli th.it, one or two openings being
cut through only to find an inner wall made
by the si. le of th-; trausSxjd baggage car.
ix persons, in all. were rescued from the
car, the remainder, being estimated at
least forty persons, were either crushed
to death, or having ix-cn vvoundeu we-ie
burned aiive.
Une young lady, some sixteen or seven
teen years of age, they snuggled to drag
from a 'window, but being fast under the
baggage car, she at latdrew herself backa-
gyiu and perished within. A man who had
dragged himself partly through a win. low,
found himself fast also, and laying himself
on the side of a window, was consumed be
fore the eyes ot the horrified spectators.
On the left side of the train a soldier with
one leg succeeded in getting it through the
window, but was unable to force his way
farther, and perished as he was, his charred
remains,after the wood work ha t sufficiently
burnt away, falling a headless, armless mass
upon the other track. One woman, with
four children, are known to have been a
mong the number of victims.
Conductor John Mullinoii and first biake
uiau Emory, were la.st seen sitting in this
car by the stove, and as they have not been
pinuc, no hope is entertained of their escape.
How many and what persons were buried in
that fiery tomb, may never be told, as every
thing was literaliy consumed to ashes, and
utterly beyond recognition; the only teli-tale
to waiting hearthstones being the unbroken
absence .of looked-for footsteps, - and the
voiceless, endless vacancy of missed faces
and remembered voices.
Meantime some of the passengers suc
ceeded in getting out some dozeu trunks
from the forward part of the baggage car,
whilst others uncoupled the rear three pass
enger cars, and pushed them back out of the
reach of the fire. The forward platform of
the third passenger car having been driven
into the rear one ot the second, it was made
impossible to detach them ; they according
ly took fire, and were ragidly con-umed.
There were a number o wounded in these
oars, but none ki led. All were gotten out,
although it was by almost herculean efforts
that the doors, which as the first passenger
had been locked, were broken open, and the
inmates rescued.
The .scenes which now ensued beggar
words and defy description in the sickening
and harrowing character of their details.
The dense mass of baggage matter and hu
man remains which the wreck of the two
forward cars contained caused them to burn
a couple of hours longer than the two follow
ing. On the right of the train, early in the
progress of the fire, a charred, shapeless
and headless mass rolled smoking into the
road down by the side of the track. High
in the air and resting upon a tangled mass
of iron rods and tin sheeting was auothcrone
with arms drawn up upon the heart, and
legs burned of to stumps, from whose ex
tremities the femoral bones stood out with
a horrible distinctness and nakedness into
the air. By its tide was another equally
charred and. disfigured- -
Just under, and lying upon the flange of a
wheel, was another black mass, which, with
the encircling springs of a hoop-skirt, were
all that remained of a woman. The small
er ribs and other bones of children getting
out from' the bnrning iuass, presented, if
possible, a more sad and lamentable t-ight.
Ou the leftside, jesting between the wheel
and ou the after truck, the fire soon reveal
ed a human head, about which the flames
lapped and licked until the white skull shone
out, and thesatures gaped and grinned as it
in mockerv ot the horrid carnival.
What with the hissinsr, steaming, frying.
masses of shapeless humanity, and the
white, calcined forms of ribs, vertebra?, hip,
and femoral bones staring out from the ash
es and smoke, with the other harrowing de
tails of the calamity, we pray never again to
be confronted with such a bight.
Of the wounded the most seriously hurt
was Mr. Books, a mail agent between Phila
delphia and Harrisburg, who resides at
Mifflin, and got on the train at that place.
His injuries are internal, and thought to be
severe. He was taken home on the west
ward train. A lady who had been rescued
from the first passenger car, and taken to
the station house, suffered very severe in
juries. Surgical attendance was procured
at an early hour, and all the rest of the
wounded were doing well. -
Great indignation and strong feeling was
evinced by the passengers against the cus
tom of locking cardojrs, as preventing all
efforts at escape in the event of such a ca
tastrophe. The railroad company doubtless
consider that they have good reasons for
pursueing such a course. Be this as it may,
we are of opinion that the accident yester
day points out most conclusively the neeess
ity for having a fuller supply of buckets and
axes for each train, as in the present in
stance but oue axe and no buckets could be
found.
M'Clellan'a History in Three Seutenc es.
McClellan's failure as a commander, and
his bankruptcy in every quality of a soldier,
are history, the most shame i'ul in the annals
of American politics, and the most humilia
ting in military biography. Attorney-General
Hanna of Indiana, recalled it recently
at JndianaiHilis, in a speech, whose brevity
and truthfulness make it a compendium.
He said that "Old Abe!" exhausted every
appliance known to Jiumiu ingenuity to
make him a gallant and successful warrior.
While the people cried out to the President
in the bitterness of their woe, "For God's
sake, give us a General who will do some
thing, who is equal to the demand upon
him. who will not dig the grave ot the na
tion within the sound of the enemy's can
non' while the patience of Congress and of
the-Cabinet was wearing and t'naily wore out
with the inordinate cost of vain display and
of the failure of movements. Old Abe clung
to him, through evil and through good re
port, hoping and praying that he might do
better. By day and by night he cun ied and
pampered hint, kicked and coaxed him,
scolded and praised him, tickled and lashed
him, bathed and blanketed him, physicked
and nursed him, patted and rubbed him,
b.'gged and cursed him, until finally, in the
agony of despair, the worn-out President
exclaimed: "He is great on dress parade,
but not worth a curse in action !"
We beg leave very respectfully to suggest
to the Peace Democracy that they try their
hand a lit'le at patching up a peace' in the'ir
own p irty to prove how well they can make,
p.;aco with murderous triators. If they can't
exactly declare their internal war a ' fail
ure," they may with great propriety de
mand an -"immediate cessation of hostili
ties." ValSa'udigham writes the Chicago
plarform, and McClellari is frightened into
it an innocent kick merely by way of keeping
up appearances : but Yal don't play marbles
in the way, and he kicks McClellan over
board, and the Woods. Medary, McMasters,
Mulronv, and scores of other leaders follow
suit. Here is a chance for diplomacy keep
the dissolving institution together at least
until November, so that the loyal people of
the North can tret a fair chance at it
Brethren of the Democratic faith, we say
let there be peace among yourselves!

Special advantages of this Loan.
It is a National Savings Bank, offering a high
er rate of interest than any other, and the kst
secl-ritv. Any savings bank which pays its de
positors in U. S. Notes, considers that it is paying
in the best circulating medium of the eountry,
and it cannot pay in anything better, for its own
assets are cither government securities or in notvs
or bonds payable intgovernment paper.
It is equally convenient as a temporary rr per
manent investment. The notes can alwaTS be
sold for within a fraction of their faco and accu
mulated interest, and are the best security with
bunks as collaterals for discount.
