LOOK OUT FOR A CRASH.—The
wholesale merchant and manufacturing spec
ulators of the East have been carrying im
'nose stocks of goods in anticipation.of fur
ther rises in price, and for the purpose of
taking advantage of every necessity which
the vicissitudes of-war - mighTereate: This I
towing signs of uneasiness, and
in the Eastern market, particularly, the dis
position is to get rid of large stocks, and
close up business, at. east so ar as „specula
tion is concerned, for the present. Mer
chants and manufacturers are anxious to con
fine themselves now to the legitimate yen
tare of trade. .Bat the question is, whether
a large portion 'of those men will be able to
do so before the crash which will surely over
take.them. The fall of gold—the steady in
crease of the armies—the healthy tone and
temper of the people on the subject of crush
ing out the rebellion and restoring peace, all
point to a crash among speculators which we
regret, will be felt for a time -among those
who are innocent of the frauds which coo
bled a few men to amass large sums of mon
ey at the expense of the living and business
of the great mass. It is now very certain
that a great fall must take place in the dry
goods and provision market. And when this
change occurs, there will come a -crash a
mong the speculators.,

About four o'clock yesterday (Wednes
day)• morning , a most fearful collision occur
red on the Pnnsylvania Railroad, at Th
s'ontown 'station, about 38 miles west of:Har
risburg. What is called the Fast Freight
had reached Thompsontown running behind
its schedule time, with a, full knowledge of
the fact that the fast line from the west was
momentarily expected at that station. The
' freight train had hardly stopped, and the
flagman bad scarcely reached the end of the
train to unfurl hissignal, when the fast• line
from the west came thundering along. The
engineer of the latter train was running on
his own time, calculating, of course, that the
road was clear; and from the fact of this train
not stopping at Thompsontown, the reader
can imagine the fearfulness of the collision
when it occurred. The engineer ofthe fast ,
line had but a moment to observe the flag
man of the fast freight, when he immediately
put on his patent brakes and reversed his
machinery, coolly and courageously remain,
ing at his post on the engine, there to do
what he could to• diminish the, awful des•
truetion by which he was so suddenly eon-
fronted. '
The effect of the collision was terrfio.—
The baggage and. three passenger cars of the
fast line were littnally smashed together.—
One of the passenger cars was soon discov
ered to be on fire. The baggage car caught
fire from the burning passenger car, and in
the confusion which ensued, the mails . and a
greater portion of the baggage were destroy-
It is not positively known how many were
in the burned aux. The remains of six. were
taken to Harrisburg last evening. These
were in a condition to be beyond recognition
—the faces and arms of all being entirely
consumed.

Can you sharp fellows down there in William

he bought4s,ooo-six per cent. bonds, and
you see he got 81,100 for a years use of his
money. I met him 'the other day, and he
said, 'Poor Richard, you, are right; I begin
to think, the Government_can_take-care--of

• For my part, I mean to
buy some of the 7.30'5. The 'rate of interest

..an ex.-
amine the' facts disinterestedly. They do;
and the result is a' verdiet that the American
Government is stable—its ability and integ
rity in meeting its financial engagements un
fiestiona-ble:---Tiri-s-viir-diet, too, is founded
l on a series of facts which are unimpeachable
and well known to every intelligent Ameri
can. Take two or three of the most impor
tant : 1. The United States doubles its pop
ulation each twenty-five years The popula
tion of the country, which in 1850 was twen
ty-three millions, will in 1875 be forty-six
milliont. But the rebellion ! says some one.
How much has the rebellion diminished the
strength of the United States ? Take this
astonishing fact, that if all the Rebel States
had been sunk in the Pacific Ocean, the U
nited Sates would. in 1875 have a population
equal to that of the whole in 1860 In other
words, fifteen years will supply the total loss
of the eleven original Rebel States ! What
can impede the progress of such a country 7
2. The wealth of th country increased 127
per cent. in ten years I Now let it increase
but 80 from 1860 to 1870, and it will amount
to ten times all the loans of the government.
The German knows what he is about. lie
will get the largest income from loans in the
world, on the safest security. No such op
portunity has occurred before for theinvest
ment of money, and in all probability will
never occur again. If the American does
not know and take advantage of this,. the
German and Frenchman will.—Ex .

War Department, Washington, Sept. Z 4.
—The following official despatch hasrjust
been received from General Sheridan, detail.
ing some of the particulars of the battle and
victory at Fisher's HiA :
HEADQUARTERS MIDDLE DIVISION,
Woodstock, Va , Sept. 24-8 A.. M.
To Lieut, General U. S. Grant, City Point :
I cannot as yet give any definite account
of the results of the battle of yesterday.—
Our loss will be light. General Crook struck
the left, flank of the enemy, doubled it up and
advanced down their lines. Rickett's divis
ion of the 6th Army Corps swung in and
joined Crook. Getty's and Wheaton's di
visions took up the same movement, follow
ed by the whole line, and, attacking beauti
fully carried the works of the enemy.
The rebels threw down their arms and fled
in the greatest conftision, abandoning most
of their artillery. It was dark before the
battle ended. I pursued on atter the enemy
during the night to this point with the' 6th
and ,9th Corps, and liave stopped - here to rest
the men and issue rations. ,
If General Torbert has pushed down the
Luray Valley, accoraing to my directions, he
will achieve great results. _ _
I do not think that there ever_was an ar
my so, badly routed. The valleieoldiers are
hiding away, and going to their homes.
I cannot at present give yon any estimate
of prisoners. I pushed on regaidleßs of ev
erything.. .The number of pieees.of artillery
reported captured is sixteen.
