Whence this difference of reasoning! The
people, we are told in Northern Texas, are OPP
posed to connection with her Well so are the
people in Southern California opposed also to
q connection with the northern part.
The only solution of this discrepancy of reas-
oning is, that California excludes slavery and
Texas does not.

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT ON THE ERIE RAILROAD
On Wednesday noon most distressing accident
occurred between Mast Hope and Lackawaxan
on the Erie railroad, to a freight train, composed
Of % cars, and filled with cattle and other stock
for the New York market.
Between the two places is an iron bridge, meas,
uring about sixty feet, and of only span, with
supporters, however, from each abutment. The
locomotive itself passed safely over the bridge but
nothing more. The tender broke off, the bridge
having already given way. With the tender fell
fifteen of the cars considerable distance into the
stream below. In these fifteen cars, some por-
ton of which only were on the bridge when j,
gave way, the others being dragged after them
were about one hundred and thirty head of cat
tie, four hundred sheep and one hundred hogs
that four of the employees Of the company were
instantly killed. and two others severely if not IA
tally wounded. One, who was still alive, had
the horn of one of the cattle driven through his
breast, and was Of course, suffering the most in
tense agony. t af
The scene was painful in the extreme. The
mass was wedged in between the two banks of the
chasm over which the bridge passes, the cattle be-
ing pierced with numerous spinters ofthe cars, and
impaled upon the horns of each other. A few
were still alive, and after fearful struggles sue
ceeded in extricating themselves and getting out
upon the adjoining plain.
But those that did thus escape were apparently
all more or less injured. A number of sheep also
escaped in the same way. The loss of property
will amount to about Sl0,0 600.
The bodies of the killed were brought down to
Port Jervis ~ -
The men who were in the rear cars saved them
selves by jumping off.

A MONSTER DTvDEND.-The Pacific Mail
Steamship Company, of which Messrs. Rowland

dividend. The Journal of Commerce states that
this company started with capital not exceeding
100000. 1t has since purchased the steam
ships Unicorn, Tennessee, Cherokee, and Phila-
delphia, for which there must have been paid all
of 100000. This fact, considered in connec-

The last number of the Southern Times.
published in Cherokee county, brings us most
gratifying intelligence of the unanimity which
prevails in that section relative to the @course
and uAimatatm of the Southern Convention. y
We take the following from it:
RATIFICATION MEETMGs.--We notice that
enthusiastic meetings have been held not only
throughout Alabama, but in most Of the South
ern States, where the action of the Nashville
Convention has been ratified and fully endorsed
by the people In these diggings, we need no
ratification meetings., for we believe the citizens
generally regard the course and uAimatum of
the Southern Convention, with silent, but cor
dial approval. We know no party here, upon
this vital and all-absorbng question--we are all
for the Union, but we are for the Constitution,
the rights, honor and interest of the South, at
the same time.

partment -" Running the Apparatus on the Side

gushing Fires - on - Inquiry into the Causes of
