FRlGHTFUL RAILROAD COLLISION.

Yesterday, about half past ten O'Clock, as the
Rail road train, with five cars loaded with the
invited citizens Of our city, comprising the City
Council, Mayor, Judges Of the Courts, &C., &C.,
returning from Springfield, and when just above
where the Railroad passes under the pike, just at
the Yellow Banks, between Plainyile and the
pike, it came in collision with the up train from
this city while both were under full speed. The
concession was terrible beyond description
The greatest CONSERVATION prevailed for a time
ladies shreking, children crying, men inquir-
ing.
Upon examination it was found that the en-
gines had struck square" causing neither TO run
off the track, smashing the locomotives, dcmol-
ishing the tenders and locking the former fast
together. Mr.. Stevens, engineer, was scalded
and fireman had his shoulder dislocated. DR..
Drake was sent for who stated that the wounds
were not dangerous. A locomotive went up
from this city-some ofthe passengers came on
foot home and others by cars and other convey.
ances. 1t was narrow escape. The collision
was caused by the engineers not knowing where
they were 10 meet.

CONGRESSIONAL NOMINATION.

The Convention which assembled in Wells
vile, on Tuesday last, nominated our fellow
townsman, VAN BROwN, ESQ.,, as the Wing can
ddate for Congress in this district. The nomi-
nation was made on the first ballot, and was re-
ceived with manifestations of pleasure from all
the delegates present. The greatest harmony
characterized the proceedings of the Convention,
and the delegates returned to their homes in the
best of spirits.

We have accounts from the Rio Grande to the
Cd instant. There is no news of consequence
Gen. Taylor was despatching the regulars tc
Camargo with all possible haste, and likewise
sending on large supplies of munitions. The
highest point on the river at which any of the
volunteer troops were stationed was Lomta, be-
tween Burita and Matamoras, at which point one
battalion of the Tennessee regiment was garri
soned.
Texas dates to the 9th instant state that the
force concentrating at Bexar amounts to 4,7Oi

FROM MEXICO.


The New Orleans Delta Of the Cd makes the
following extracts from late Matamoras papers:
Agentleman arrived in town yesterday from
MoncOva, direct, and in aremarkablv short time,
passing through Candala, Tlascala, Villa Altama,
Sabnas, Mier, Camargo, and Reynosa, and states
that every thing was perfectly quiet on the route,
and that the people are expecting the approach
of our army. He learned on the road that there
had been no farther arrival Of troops at Monterey.
AT MOnclova letters had been received, stating
that Paredes had arrived at San Luis Potosi at the
head OF 5000 men, but having received dispat-
ches, by express, countermarched his command,
and proceeded TO retrace his steps to the city of
Mexico. The reason of the sudden about-face
is only to be attributed to some pronuncian.euto
at the capital -Matamoras Flag, July "a.
We are indebted to a gentleman direct from
CamargO for the following information:
He informs us that the rancheros are all back
or getting back to their homes, as fast as possible
and going to work on their ranches again, having
abandoned the idea Of conquerng the United
States, and subjecting it to their own will. If
such is the case, Canales and Carrabaial must
have but few troops under their COMMANDERS
port says they have none, as their forces were
made up entirely of rancheros. Rumor saws
there are not at this time in Monterey more than
one thousand or fifteen hundred men, but that they
are ioruiying it as fast as possible. We think
this may be all true, as il is very reasonable to
suppose that no General would order at this time
more than that number of men in the city, before
he had knowledge of the moving of our army
Tor that place, owing to the difficulty of supplying
larger force than that either there or in any 9TH
er part of Mexico for any great length of time.
There are stationed at Camargo about 600 men,
Capts. McCullough's and Gillespie's spy compa-
MES among the number. The troops are all en-
joying good health.-Reveille, July 25.
We ventured an opinion some days ago that
should Paredes leave the city of Mexico at the
head of an army for the Rio Grande, a revolu-
tion in the capital would follow his Departure
Our late news begins to verify the prediction, and
the enemy will shortly be in arms against one an
other If Paredes is overthrown, then will we
look for speedy termination of hostlities for we
know of no chief likely to supersede him who
would not endeavor to restore peace to the coun-
Try, if not as a measure in accordance with his
feelings, at least as one calculated TO establish his
popularity. The Mexican nation cannot wage q
war against the United States and the people are
daily becoming more apprized of it. They can
see the hourly increase of our numbers here, and
know that our means of subsistence are exhaust.
less; therefore, any man who can bring peace to
Mexico can build up for himself monument oi
popularity as high as such things generally gel
to be in MeXico.-Matamoras Flag, July 25.

MAN AND LOVE

OF affection, not many men are capable; they
have usually sort of attachment to the things
they live among, the people who fill their house
and family; that is, they do not very well like to
do without them when they have been accustom-
ed to their presence; but that is all. Take them
away, and replace them by some thing, or some
person else, and you soon learn to measure the
strength of attachment in the ordinary human
heart. As for confidence, that is not the attribute
of little mind, especially if tnged with jealousy
of mind more enlarged and noble than ITSELF 1t
loves to keep its own frivolous plans and ideas
secret, for there seems, indeed, sort of nstinc-
tvedread onthepart of folly to come into contact
with wisdom. Rely upon it, that the man who
loves those higher in the scale of intellect than

August Elections.
3SHS +. ". DcaGGH' COLLIER, Secretaries

NORTH CARoLNA.-The Wings of this State
have acquitted themselves nobly-have come out
of the late contest with undieing honors and un-
fading laurels. They have elected a Wing Gov
ernor by nearly 10000 majority, three times as
great as that given to Mr.. Clay in l844-a Wing
Senate, and Wing House-thus securing the
election of two United States Senator'S. The
State was warmly canvassed by both parties, and
the result is Regarded as the true criterion of
public sentiment. What a whitening rebuke does
it convey to the President and his satelites-in
the first contest, upon their own terms, and on
their own ground, they have been badly beaten.
If the South thus repudiates the measures of the
present Administration, from whence shall it de-
rive its support!
KENTUCKY.-The returns from this State are
no less cheering than those from North Carolina.
So far as heard from the Locofocos have not

OF THE OHIO VOLUNTEERS

We have already alluded to the fact that a
Joint resolution was introduced into the House on
the 7th inst, and passed that body, providing for
the payment ofexpenses incurred in raising the
Ohio volunteers received into service, and also
those who claim to have been mustered into the
service. This resolution is supposed to have
passed the Senate. 1t provides, among other
things, for the payment out of the fund appro-
priated for carrying on the war, of "the comPa-
MES of Ohio volunteers assembled at Camp
Washington, near Cincinnati, and who claim to
have been mustered into service, one days pay,
and allowances for every day detained in SER
