NI a You have been talked to on t hi s s ubject, and t o ld S that a speculation is intended by gentlemen aylio have an interest in the country, including the coal mines. We have been mistaken all our lives if we do not know that whites, as well as blacks, look to their self interest, unless among those deficient in intellect. Everybody you trade with makes some thing. You meet with these things here and else where. If such persons have what will be an ad vantage to them, the question is whether it cannot be made of advantage to you. You are intelligent and know that success does not as much depend on external help as self-reliance. Much therefore de pends open yourselves. As to the coal mince, I think I see the means available for your eel`'-reli ance. I shall, if I get a sufficient number of you en gaged, have provision made that you shall not be wronged. If ycu will engage in the enterprise I will spend some of the money entrusted to me. I am not sure you will succeed. The Government may lose the money, but we cannot succeed unless we try ;we think that with care we can succeed, The political affairs in Central America are not quite in so satisfactory a condition as I wish. There are con tending factions in that quarter, but it is time all the factions agreed alike on the subject of colonisa tion. To your race they have no objection. Besides, I would endeavour to have you made equals, and have the best assurance that you should be the equals of the best. The practical thing I want to ascertain is whether I can get a number of able• bodied men, with their wives and children, who are willing to go when I present evidence of encourage ment and protection. Could I get a number of tole rably intelligent men, with their wives and chil dren, I think I could make a successful commence ment. I want you to let me know whether this can be done. or not. This is the practical part of my wish to see you. These are subjects of very great importance, worthy of a- month's study of a speech delivered in an hour. I ask you then to consider seriously for yourselves, for your ray, for the good of mankind, things that are not confined to the pre- . sent geneli*lon; but, as "From age to age descends the lay ' ; •To millions yet to be, Till far its echoe.i roll away, . . Into eternity." The chairman of the delegation briefly replied that they would hold a consultation, and in a short time give an answer. ,The President said, " Take your full time ; no hurry at all." The delegation then withdrew. <c , :r' _ General Pope's official report of the late battle near Culpepper is published. He says the Federal loss was about 1,500 killed, wounded, and missing —a very, large proportion being killed. He is sa tisfied that the enemy's loss was much in excess of his own. The fighting was very severe and mostly hand to hand. He represents that on the night of Monday, the 11th (two days after the fight), the en e my fled from the field, but was pursued by cavalry and artillery to the Rapidan River, over which he retreated. The latest despatches from Pope's command are dated " Near Rapidan River, August 15," and give a report that the Confede rates were still retreating beyond the Rapidan River, although they had a force on the other side 'With guns in position. It was stated that Gene ral Stonewall Jackson'sarmy numbered 60,000 men, and that he had managed to move them all off safely. The correspondepce between General Lee, of the Confederate army, and General HaHeck, Comman der-in-Chief of the Federals, relative to retaliatory measures, is published. The following is the text of General Halleck's closing letter : " Head-quarters of 'the Army, Washington, August. 9, 1862. "General R. E.-Lee, commanding, &c. "General,—Your communications of the 2d ihst., with enclosures, are received. As these papers are couched in language exceedingly insulting to the Government of the United States, I most respect lolly decline to receive them. They are returned herewith.—Very respectfully your obedient servant, " H. W. HALLECK, :"'General:in- Chief United States Army." Some of the American journals think that this correspondence is not unlikely to lead to important events. It is pointed out that the Confederates already hold a number of Pope's commissioned offi cers, whom they threaten to treat as murderers and robbers, and it is suggested that if these threats are carried out, retaliation will become so ferocious that the united European nations will find good ground for interposing and demanding a cessation of the conflict. It is sated that 26 " rebel" prisoners were shot at Macon, Missouri, for breaking their parole, and 12 others were expected to suffer the same fate. Advices from Port Royal state that the negro brigade has proved a failure, and had been dis banded by General Hunter. A fugitive contraband states that there were only 2,000 Secessionists at Savannah. He also repre sents that the ram there was a mere floating battery of little power, with 8 guns, and that its officers were afraid to take it out of the Savannah River. A Washington telegram says :-- " The Navy Department has advertised for pro posals for the construction and completion of vessels of iron for river and harbour defence, similar to those building in New York, having a single re volving turret. No offer will be considered unless from parties who are fully prepaied to execute the work of this kind, having, in their own name, at the present time, suitable shops and tools." The delivery of treasury notes of the denomina • tion of one and two dollars will be commenced on Tuesday next, though in small quantities. The President has appointed R. M.

A collision occurred on the Potomac River last night off Ragged Point, between steamers Peabody and West Point, involving the loss of 73 lives. The British ship Theodore Khoop had cleared from New Orleans for Liverpool, With 1,215 bales of cotton and other merchandise. The ship Alcyon had also cleared for Jane with 472 bales. The New York papers state that a draft in that State will not commence until Sept. 1, the Govern ment having extended the time, in order to allow the recruiting of the entire number of three years' men with volunteers. In Massachusetts, so far as orders had been received, the draft was to commence on the 15th, but as the enrolment was not complete, the enlist ing committees would probably have a few days in which to complete their quotas. Late adcices from Culpepper say that owing to the severe injury that General Banks received in th e lute battle, the com4and of the second corps had devolved upon General Williams. Advices from Canada report a continued influx of persons from the United States with a view to escape the draft. Numbers were making their way over the line on foot or in waggons. The New Brunswick and Nova Scotian papers also announce the arrival of large numbers of Ame ricans in those provinces_ The Quebec timber trade was particularly dull. Little had been done in timber charters, but a N essel had been placed at 325. The commercial intelligence from the United States has already appeared. M.

FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT ON THE 'MID LAN.D RAIL WAY. THREE KILLED-FOUR HUNDRED INJURED. A. fearful accident happened half an hour after midnight on Thursday, at Market Harborough, which, up to yester day afternoon, had iasulted in the death of three persons, and injuries of a taoie or less serious character to about 400 others, , . On Wednesday morning an excursion train left Burton for London, and at about the same time an excursion train left Leicester for London, both being timed to rail - in to their respective places of departure outhe following (Thurs day) night. , Both trains would necessarily pass through Market Iferborough.` In returning, the Burton train was the first heat that station, and it WitestOpped there that water might be supplied to the tender.. Whilst the Burton train was _standing for this purpose, the Leicester train was heard approaching ata speed which'excieed no little alarni. In an instant the worst fears were realised; for the Leices ter train came 'on, it tiis alleged, at full . speed, and dashed into the rear of the l ßurton train. A sceneof indescribable terror and confusion ensued. Alniost superhuman efforts were made to liberate the wounded from the tihritiered car= riagEn• in whiCh ,manyof them at thenieraentof the:collision were - firmly asleep in -what they reasonably supposed was little Ohm; than' perfeCt security. Medieal eurgical 'skill was' ebtainedlrOm -every available dit*ticni; and private re sidents and innkeepersleft their bediahat they might beve cuAied by the unhappy travellers,lifthlng as they wexein agmy, and suffering „from almost e*ery form of injury. So soon as their injurie!l could be attended to, those persons whevere ableytere:4moved to theilhames4 and trains of wounded as fronr4 field of battle :viate. arriving in Burton up to the time of the W *patch of oireitVroklitement both at Brifft;Aiiid - W.Loie3ster * 2lrit`TY be ;noreiiiiidilY con ceived than described. Of the passengers in the Burton train upwards of 330 belonged to that town, and it is to Burton that most of the wounded persons belong. Of course there is the usual diff.renee as to the observance or disregarded of signals on the part of the railway servants who are most interested in the case, which we will not now touch upon until the correct facts are brought out at the inquest. A Stamford correspondent writes :—" Information has reached here to• day (Friday) of a dreadful accident which occurred between 11 and 12 o'clock last night to two Mid land excursion trains. The following particulars have been obtained from ono of the passengers who escaped unin jured, " TWO excursion trains left London last night, one for Burton, and the other for Manton, both on the Midland line of railway. The trains were of considerable length and heavily laden, the one for Manton having nearly a thousand passengers. To pass through the station at Market liar borough the Midland trains were for something like half a mile on the London and North Western line. On arriving at the junction at Market Harborough the Burton train, which started first from London, stopped to take in water. During this stoppage the Manton train came up and dashed into the other, smashing three of the hindermost carriages to pieces. The scene which ensued was of the most appalling character. Owing to the darkness of the night it was impossible at first to realise the extent of the disaster, but the shrieks and groans of the wounded and the dying apprised the survivors that the result must have been very serious. Assistance having arrived, the frag ments of the broken carriages were accumulated in heaps and set on fire, and by the light thus afforded attention was paid to the sufferers. As many as forty, it is said, were removed from the debris with fractured limbs or other injuries of a more serious character, and one dead body— that of a man from Burton. Several of the wounded, we are informed, hava died to-day, and others are not expected to recover. The line all around the broken carriages was deluged with blood, and presented a most sickening spec tacle." Fortunately the Manton train was not travelling at any considerable speed when the accident occurred, or the con sequences must have been even more serious. The engine was thrown off the line by the shock, and it was nearly 4 o'clock this morning before the Manton passengers were enabled to proceed on their journey. With regard to the cause of the accident, it is not yet known whick is to blame, the signal-man at the junction or the driver of the Manton train. The former states that the signals were properly adjusted to stop an approaching train, whilst the latter maintains that such was not the fact. This, however, is a matter which of course will be inquired into at the coroner's inquest. Our Leicester correspondent, who was a passenger by one of the trains, writes : " Cheap ti ains were announced from Burton, Ashby, and Coalville, starting to London on Wednesday morning, and returning on the same or the next evening. A similar ex cursion was arranged from Oakham, Melton, and Leicester. The return journey for the Oakham, Melton, and Leicester train was fixed for 7 30 p.m. on Wednesday or the Thurs day night, and the Burton, Ashby, and Coalville train was advertised to start at the same urinate on the same nights. The Burton and the Leicester trains on Thursday night were placed alongside each other at the King's-cress sta tion, and the passengers were filling them at the same time. It was matter of observation between the passengers of the respective trains as to which should start first. Neither, however. started at the advertised time, but at a quarter to 8 the Burton train was put in motion. At 10 minutes to 8 —five minutes after the Burton—the Leicester and Oakham train started. Passengers in the Leicester train observed this, and expressed fears that the Burton train could not keep out of the way. The journey to Bedford was accom plished without any stoppage, though it was evident that the driver of the Leicester train could not get on in conse quence of the train ahead. On stopping for water at Bed ford the Burton train was seen going out of the station as the Leicester train neared it. On proceeding again the same pace was observed, until within five minutes' run of Market Harborough the Leicester train slackened speed, and a perpetual alarm whistle was kept up, when the eng.;.ne gave forth several short, sharp, rapid screams, and then crash went the Leicester train into the Burton train, which was found standing at the llarberough Station. As may be iLnagined, the greatest consternation spread through out the two' long trains. Screams were hoard at the station end of the train, and although shaken and bruised, the Leicester past sengers were able to leave their carriages, and to proceed to dhe more immediate scene of the disaster. The hindermost carriages of the Burton train were found crushed and smashed by the engine of the Leicester train, al id the unfortunate Burton passengers were thrown about, bruised, and mangled. Fires were quickly made of the fragments of the carriage;tt, and the work of extrication and alleviation promptly set on foot. Two men were known to be crushed under one of the carraiges, and nearly an hour elapsed before the last one could be got out. At least one fatal case was then known to have occurred—the unfortu nate sufferer being Mr. W. Stinson, of Coalville. The light of the fires threw a horrid glare on the sickening scene around. Men with mangled limbs were being conveyed on stretchers; vornen, bruised and swooning - , were lying on the road supported by fellow-passengers, and in some in stances laid on bags and pillows before they could be re-• moved; while the station was crowded with bruised and bleeding passengers of both sexes, and a deathly paler was on every face. Every resource which the limited station and the town could afford was promptly applie:l to mitigate the sufferings, and the worst moveable cases were sent on by train to Leicester. Still, a great number of injured and anxious ones were left behind, and no evidence could be gleaned of a prompt and speedy communication with Leicester. The accident occurred at a quarter past 11, and within eighteen miles of Leicester, with a telegraphic com munication, and without any obstruction between Lei cester and Harborough ; and yet hour after hour elapsed, until it was half-past 3 o'clock on Friday morning before the whole of the terrified passengers in the ill-fated trains from London could get away from the Market Harborough sta tion. At a quarter-past 4, nervously excited excursion ists and hysterical women were drawn up under the tunnel like bridge of the London-road near to Leicester, there to be detained another quarter of an hour while the tickets were collected, as day was breaking and paling the glare of the collectors' lamps. This final presentment of the horrible excited a feeling of revolt; tickets were contemptuously refused to be given up, and passengers were vociferous'in their demands that the train be drawn up into a place that should look something natural. The Leicester passengers, were deposited on the Leicester platform at half-past four o'clock, upwards of five hours after the accident occurred. The cause of the accident undoubtedly was the Leicester train following so closely on the heels of the Burton RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE, t -2 • .t ItigOßlPTit.

On Wed nesday and Thursday last several barges were moored in the river, immediately opposite the newly erected mansion of the Duke of Buccleuch, and gangs of labourers have since been busily employed in driving piles into the bed of the river. It is said to be the intention to bring into opera. tion the steam windlass for working the " monkey," or pile driving machine, by which a great saving is effected, both in time and manual labour. These windlasses may be seen daily at work in driving the piles at the works of the new railway bridge now erecting on the eastern side of Black friars-bridge. How THE STEAMER HERO GOT INTO CHARLES- To.N.—The steamer Hero arrived at Charleston Bar at two o'clock on the morning of the 25th of July. The Hero was drawing 1211 feet of water, having a heavy cargo on board, and was unable to cross the bar at tha t time, ther e not be ing a sufficient depth of water. The engines were ordered to bo eased, but she touched the bar slightly without sus taining any damage. The boats were then lowered, when the passengers, with their baggage ? and most of the crew, left the ship. The captain, chief engineer, and some of the crew, however, remained with her. In about an hour the chip floated, after having thrown overboard about 40 tons of coal and sulphuric acid. The Hero then proceeded up the river, running through the bloc kading fleet, and arrived safely at Charl eston , The crew in the Mall boat. observing the steamer afloat, pulled for her, and were towed safely into port. The chief engineer, Mr. Miller, a native of Glasgow, we regret to learn, died of congestion of the b ra in at Charleston two days after, and was buried there. The Hero is expected (if s uccessful in running the blockade) with a cargo of cotton at some English port shortly. The above information was supplied to us by a passenger by the steamer Au s tralasian, who left Charleston on the 30th of July. STAMPED ....sd. AMERICA. SPEECH OF PRESIDENT LINCOLN ON THE NEGRO QUESTION. The Canadian screw steamer Bohemian, Captain Borland, from Quebec, on the 16th, and Cape Race on the 19th inst., tea Londonderry, arrived yester day at Liverpool. The telegraph wires between Newfoundland and the States were not in working order, consequently the Bohemian brings nothing later than the 16th. The steamships Glasgow for New York, and the Europa for Halifax, passed Cape Race on the 15th and 18th respectively. Special despatches from Washington state that as fast as regiments arrive they will be sent to a camp of instruction across the Potomac, under command of General Casey. The News Sheet office at Baltimore has been taken possession of by the police, and editors and proprie tors were sent to Fort M'Henry by order of Gen. Wool. A deputation of coloured men waited upon the President on the 14th, to hear his views upon their position. The following is a telegraphic report of the President's remarks. After a few preliminary observations, the President informed the deputa tion that a sum of money had been appropriated by . Congress and placed at his disposition for the pur pose of aiding the colonisation in some country of Lu la people, or a portion of them, of African descent, 1 thereby making it his duty, as it had for a long time been his inclination, to favour that course. And why, he asked, should not the people of your race be colonised ? Why should they leave this country ? This is perhaps the first question for proper consideration. You and we are a different race. We have between us a broader difference than exists between almost any other two races. Whether it is right or wrong I need not discuss, but this physical difference is a great disadvantage to us both, as I think your race suffers greatly, many of them by living with us—while ours suffer from your presence. In a word, we suffer on each side. If this is admitted it affords a reason why wo should be separated. You here are freemen, I suppose. (A voice: " Yes, sir.") Perhaps you have long been free, or all your lives. Your race are suffering, in my opinion, the greatest wrong inflicted on any people. But even when you cease to be slaves, you are yet far removed from being placed on an equality with the white race. You are cut off from many of the advantages which, the other race enjoy. The aspiration of man is to enjoy equality with the best when free, but on this broad continent not a single man of your race is made the equal of ours. Go where you are treated the best and •the ban is still upon you. I do not propose to discuss this, but to present it as a fact with which we have to deal, I cannot alter it if I would. It is a fact about which we all think and feel alike ; I and you. We look to our conditions owipg to the existence of the two races on this continent. I need not recount to you the effects upon white men grow ing out of the institution of slavery. I believe in its general evil effects on the white race. See our pre sent condition. The country engaged in war. Our white men cutting one another's throats, none know ing how far it will extend, and then consider what we know to be the truth. But for your race among us there could not be a war, though many men en gaged on either side do not care for you one way or the other. Nevertheless, I repeat, without the in stitution of slavery, and the coloured race as a basis the war could not have an existence. fit is better for us• both, therefore, to be separate-a. I know there are free men among you who °vett if. they could better their condition are not as mac t• inclined to go outof the country as those who, being slaves,_ could obtain freedom on this condition. I suppose one of the principal difficulties in the way of coloni sation is, that the free coloured man cannot see that his comfort would be advanced by it. You may be lieve you can live in Washington or elsewhere in the United States the remainder of your life, perhaps more comfortably than you can in any foreign coun try. Hence you may come to the conclusion that you have nothing to do with the idea of going to a foreign country. This (I speak in no unkind sense) is an extremely selfish view of the case. But you ought to do something to help those who are not so fortunate as yourselves. There is an unwillingness on the part of our people, harsh as it may be, for you free coloured people to remain with us, Now, if you could give a start to the white people you would open a wide door for many to be made free. We deal with those who are not free at the begin ning, and those whose intellect are clouded by slavery. We have very poor material to start with. If intelligent coloured people, such as are before me, would move in this matter, much might be accomplished. It is exceedingly import ant that we have men at the beginning capable of thinking as white men, and not those who have been systematically addressed. There is much to encourage you. For the sake of your race you should sacrifice something of your present comfort for the purpose of being as grand in that respect as the white people. It is a cheering thought throughout life that something can be done to ameliorate the condition of those who have been subject to the hard usages of the world. It is difficult to make a man miserable while he feels he is worthy of himself, and claims kindred to the great God who made him. In the American revolutionary war, sacrifices were made by men engaged in it, but they were cheered by the future. Gen. Washington himself endured greater physical hardships than if he had remained a British subject, yet he was a happy man, because he was engaged in benefitting his race, something for the children of his neighbours, hav ing none of his own. The colony of Liberia has been in existence a long time. In a certain sense it is a success. The old President of Liberia, Roberts, has just been with me, the first time I ever saw him. He says they have within the bounds of that colony between 300,000 and 400,000 people, or more than in some of our old States, such as Rhode Island, Delaware. They are not all American co lonists, or their descendants. Something less than 12,000 have been sent thither from this country. Many of the original settlers have died, yet, like people elsewhere, their offsprings outnumber those deceased. The question is, if the coloured people are persuaded to go anywhere, why not there ? One reason for an unwillingness to do so is, that some of you would rather remain within reach of the country of your nativity. I do not know h ow much attachm en t you ma y have towards ou r rave . It does not strike me that you have the greatest reason to love them, but still you are attached to them, at all events. The place I am thinking about fors colony is Central America. It is nearer us then Liberia, not more than one-fourth as far as Liberia, and within seven days' run by steamer s . Unlike Liberia, it is on a great line of travel, it is a hi g h way. The coun try is a very excell ent one f or any people, and w i t h great natural r esources and advantages, and especially be cause of th e s i m il ar i ty of the &S -mate with your na tive land, thus being suited to your physic a l condition. The parti cu lar place I have in view is to be a great hi g h w ay from the Atlantic, or Caribbean Sea, to the P a cific Ocean. On both sides there are har bours among the first in the world. Again, there are evidences of very rich coal mines. A certain amount of coal is valuable in any country, and there may be more than enough for the wants of the coun try. Why I attach so much importance to coal is, it will afford an opportunity to the inhabitants for immediate employment, until they get ready to permanently settle in their homes. If you take colonists where there is no good land ing, there is a bad show, and s o also where there is nothing to cultivate, and w ith which to make a farm ; but if something is started, so that you can as soon as you reach there it is I get your daily bread _~'*",~ ~~ I ,
