indications are that now the true test is to be applied There is really but great idea about the present democratic party is southern idea It since been very Uke Van Buren the present ic party has gone South after a It has lost sight of every great benevolent patriotic end national principle and through such lilliputian agents as Pierce Douglas Co its entire energies have for the past four

Northern and Southern the South is sure to have the award an appropriation for the improvement of Bivers aud Harbors to be If the South does not have the largest slice then ia the unconstitutional and is accordingly In fact look over the entire logue of national measures advocated by the democratic party for these many years and not one can we find which was not conceived for the more immediate of Southern interests The great principles have been entirely lost sight of The patriotic and doctrines of man freedom upon which our government was based are entirely forgotten The motto of Free

WITNESS Mr Alfred L Armstrong of III the only person reluming to New York George Law who on the train to which the has furnished the reporter of ti e New York with the following us of I was seated in the sev nth passenger car from the locomotive The tram was going at an unusually high rate of speed so much so that the fact was u subject of remark among the passengers in the car which I sat The speed WHS commented upon as from the frequent and short curve in the road I put my head out of window I have rny head out more a minute when 1 saw the front passenger ear as the train was a curve suddenly force the outer rail from its place and darting from the track turn a com- plete side summerset All I recollect from that moment is feeling a sudden crash aud crying out IFe are all killed I the passengers jump to their feet and I m.uiea jump myself but how or where 1 know not I only know that I found myself in an in- stant land upright on my feet in a pond alongside the track The scene that ensued is impossible to describe The locomotive first car having retained their place on the track some distance as if unconscious of the sudden sundering of the ink that connected them with the re- cars of train The seven cars succeeding the first one thrown from tha track were a mingled mass of shattered fragments They had been thrown sideways length ways crossways torn side up and in every imaginable way Portions of the wreck were submerged in the pond of water on either side of the track The cries of agony that rose from the ruins were heart piercing was visible ao arm and there a leg with no other dage In another place was presented tht sad spectacle of a head separated from the body and again the trunk of a human shorn entirely of its head and limbs As soon as possible after the cash those jured turned their attention to discover the of the loss of life and wounds It was found that beyond the fust eight cars the injury to the passengers did not extend except in occasional bruises to those occupying the two passengers cars directly following eight Both of these latter cars from the track and the occupants received more or less contusions The remaining cars of the train retained their places on the rails and the people inside received no injuries other than some slight bruises While those having escaped personal in- jury were seeking to recover from beneath the wreck those still giving symptoms of life the locomotive which had been ed from the train which had come back to the scene of disaster was dispatched to As for help to search for the dead and wounded The place of the accident was near only nine miles from Aspinwall The track for some distance was completely torn up so that the cars still remaining on the track could not be ed to the engine in front About 4 P M a train returned from Aspinwall In the IIK terval tho wounded passengers suffered dreadfully from thirst Many of them from the muddy pond on either side of the track though it was red with human blood Fortunately a supply of water was brought by the train which greatly alleviated their Fifty three wounded gers were placed on the cars and token to medical and surgical ment LATE BY LAST
