HE ERRlBLE hAILROAD ACCIDENT -
We mentioned, on Saturday. that terri
bic railroad accident had occurred besr
Eyereit's Tunnel. on the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad, nn Thursday last. at The
point to which the recent opening excuf-
sion extended, where the road winds a.
round the edge of steep precipice,
at the bottom of which runs the Savage
river. The Cumberland Civilian gives
the following additional particulars:
"As the iron train was passing around
Savage mountain. about so yards from
Everelt's Tunnel. The fange Of the wheel
Of the foremost car broke, and the car,
with tons of railroad iron, was imme.
diately preciPitated over the embank-
ment, making several complete somersets
aud falling a distance of 60 feet. Tn.
fortunately, about Is persons were on the
cars at the time, mostly all natives of
Ireland, proceeding to different points Of
the road west. Three men we've killed
outright, another had his skull dreadfully
fractured and is not expected to survive,
another had leg broken. another had
his collar-boEe broken, a woman had her
finger cut off. while FIVE or six others
were more or less injured. One of the
three men killed was a German. named
Henry Mesman. well known at this place.
The names of the rest could not be as
certeined. as they were strangers"
The Alleghanian adds:
"A woman, with an infant in her arms,
was on the car when it went over the
precipice-and. strange to tell, the in
fant escaped without the slightest bruise.
and the only injury sustained by the moth.
er was the loss Of part Of one Of her fn-
gers,

The Cuba Scrip.

Justified by the occasional illusions to
the fact of the issue of Cuban stock or
scrip, founded upon the basis of the
harvest OF wealth expected to be- reaped
in the lately attempted conquest of Cuba,
we have heretofore spoken of it as fact,
but not with all the abhorrence which
must be felt by others as we'll as our,
selves at the very idea of an American
citizens speculating or trading in such
an article; because, though asserted, we
had, from the enormity of the thing,
remaining doubt OF its being literally
true. We have at length. however, evi-
dence in the subjoined article, which we
find in New Orleans journal, received
yesterday, of the truth of the statement
of the existence of such scrip. We
trust-now that there is no longer any
room for concealment on the subject
that some ore will cause to be inserted
in newspaper the form of one of these
"bonds." or certificates, stating particu-
larly, if it be not so stated on the face of
the bonds, out of what funds those bonds
were to be paid.
That such bonds were in market, we
repeat, we have the truth subjoined.
Should they turn out to be of different
character from that which we have sup
posed for them, there are no journalists
in the coun;ry to whom it will give more
pleasure than to US to pronounce upon
the innocense of the transaction. Nat,

To THE PUBLIC At a regular meet
lug of the Cuban Committee, held this
day. it was resolved that Col. S. w, Oak.
ey, l. N. Marks, and George w. Chrsty
be appointed a committee to solicit funds
for the purpose of sending home those
volunteers who are now in this city and
without means.
Whereas many exaggerated accounts
have been circulated in relation to the a
mount of money collected by the Cuban
Committee, for the purpose of correcting
false rumors, they beg respectfully t,
make the following statement.
In entering upon the discharge of thei
duties they found large body of mon il

in the cause of Cuban Independence

LIFE IN THE QUEEN CITY.-The Gin
cinnati Gazette. of Tuesday last, con-
tains the following account of the ad-
ventures of green 'un from Cleveland:
"a gentleman named Walker, recently
from Cleveland, fell among sharpers on
Friday night and was robbed of fine
gold hunting watch. with chain aud
diamond breast-pin. altogether worth
over $300.-Walker met the worthless
in the "Willam Tell" and took drink
or two with them, surprising. to use his
own words, that they knew [ was a
stranger, and felt desrous of extending
a little civility and courtesy" He then
accepted an invitation to sup with them
at house near by; there he drank again,
after which he recollected nothing until
awakening from an uncomfortable doze
or stupor on Saturday morning. in va
cant lot near the Little Miami Railroad
Depot. This was doubtless a 'drugging
case, and should afford warning to
strangers. of no trifiing consideration"
Coon NEws FOR Peach eRowERs.-Un.
der this head, in a recent number of the
New York Express, we find the follnw-

est not only to peach growers, but to
peach. eaters:
1--WE have seen peach trees m the Dis
trict of Columbia this summer having
much larger and more delicious peaches
than our more northern fruit, and the treel
in the highest state of perfection, in con
sequence of being painted near the roo
by cheap chemical paint prepared by J
c. Lewis, Esq, of Washington city
This preparation works the almost instant
destruction of the grub worm. the enemy
of both tree and fruit, and so great IN en-
erny that it is common thing for them tc
destroy the fruit entirely in from three tc
five years. Having seen the perfection
OF the remedy, and the vigor of the tree
and fruit i'll consequence of its applica
, ton, we can recommend il to our friend

not, believe II; yet If theomission Of the patriotic
toast was accidental. the seeming dsrespect is sti
TO be regretted"
Silence was not considered sufficiently de-
monstrative of disrespect towards the Exeeu-
tive Of the United States. Actual insults were
permitted and perpetrated, as appears from the
report of the Epening Post, which inserts the
following amongst the volunteer toasts of the
night:
"TURKIsH IsFIDELs. More liberal than RspubIi-
Prssidsnts, more Christian than Catholic
Kiags.''
'sTHE TuaKnH INFlDEL.--A better Democrat than
Republican Presidents, better Christian than
Catholic King"
We do not advert TO these features of the
entertainment with any view of prejudcing
the movements Of KossUrH, who is of course
altogether irresponsible for the arrangements,
and for the offences of omission and commits
sion connected Herewith But il is impossible
not to feel that they grow almost naturally out
been entrapped since his arrival at New York.
He has been made the victim of handful of
0fficious individuals, who are now using
him to advance their own ulterior ends, and
who, in fulflment of this purpose, are en-
gagged in laboring to place KossUrH in an atti-
tude of antagonism towards both Congress and
the Administration. A few more days may
bring this fact more plainly before the public
eye. In the interim we will only say, further,
that the kissing Of the letters of Federal Off
GERS before they were read, and the other insults
10 those officers and to Congress, excite less
surprise when it is remembered that a majority
of the speakers at the banquet, and of those who
are responsible for its management, are decided
abolitionists, and as such have pretty plain rea-
sons for adopting the course to which we have
alluded. The issue will, we expect, show
that, despite Of all his caution, KossUTH has
been led unwarily into an "entangling alli-
ance" of the very worst description. Once out
of New York, he will be better able to Judge
whether those now most busy about him are or
are not his truest friends.

We find the following statement Of relative ratea
of mortality in circulation in many of the western
papers. We give II as a contribution to an impor-
tant branch of knowledge, and without regarding
it in any other light than q somewhat remote
approximation to the whole truth The writer has
based his comparison merely upon the gross re-
suits of the census returns, whereas there are a
host Of considerations to be taken into account be-
fore obtaining a reliable conclusion. The number
Of births in the decennial period, the ages and
cupations of the parties dying, the diseases OF
which they die, and the proportion of deaths
amongst native born Americans and immigrants,
are points that must be weighed and settled before
we can form any definite idea of the comparative
salubrity of different localities;
"The States Of Ohio, Louisiana, Florida, Iowa,
North Carolina, New Jersey, Delaware, Rhode
Island, G eorgia, South Carolina Alabama Texas,
Arkansas, Virginia, Connecticut, Vermont, Michi-
gan, Pennsylvania, and Illinois, have an aggre-
gate population OF 12.S02, ,495. The mortality for
the year ending with June, 1850, was l69 ,453, or
one in 75.
"Tho mortality of Rhode Island, CONNECTICUT,
and New Jersey in population of / ,907 ,663, was
1898, or one in So; while the mortality for the
same period in Michigan, lllinois, and Iowa, in a
population of AL 1888, was l3 1885, one in 79;
thus showing mortality in the eastern States of
ten per cent. over that of the western States
"Thc mortality in Illinois is one in 72 in Rhode
Island one In DO, ana In connecticut one IN bl CIV
ing TO Illinois advantage Of seven per cent. on
the score of health over Rhode Island and Connec-
ticut
"The average mortality in the States of Florida,
North Carolina, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama,
Louisiana, Arkansas and Texas, is one in II. The
highest NOR talty in Louisiana, beipg in
AZ; and the lowest in Florida, being in 80.
Thus il will be that the southern States hither
to regarded as by far the most sickly portions OF
the Union, in point OF fact enjoy an amount Of
health above the average of all the States taken to-
gether; that while the western States show less
average rate of mortality than the eastern, the
"sickly South" has the advantage of the West of
two per cent, and nine per cent Of the eastern
States.n

The Kossuth Dinner.

KossUTH's speech at the banquet given in his
honor by the Press of New York occupies q
large portion Of our space to-day. For de-
ailed account of the arrangements, and of the
other speeches on the occasion, we are unable
to make room; but there are two or three cir
cumstances which seem to us worth singling
out and placing upon record.
The committee of arrangements, it seems,
had addressed invitations to members of the
National Administration, and letters in reply
were received and read from MIR. WEBSTER,
Mr.. STUART, Mr.. CRIrrENDEN, and Mr.. Post
master General HALL--each couched in cour-
teous terms and expressive of regret at being
unable to attend. In noticing these letters, the
New York Tribune says:
'sThe letter of Daniel Webster was received with
very audible hisses. groans, and other manifesa-
tions Of resentment at its cavierly brief and un-
sympathizing character
The New York Times says of others:
'sThe announcement of the letter from Attorney
General Crittenden received with mingled
.hisses and applause. The reading of the letter,
however, drew forth repeated demonstrations Of
applause. The letter from Postmaster General
Hall was also received with marks of dsapproba-
stion."
These statements are adopted by other New
York papers. The Herald ard Ecening Post,
however, make no mention of any such crcum-
stance; and the Courier, speaking of the letters
generally, says that they were received with
applause
The letters, we have said, were as friendly
and courteous as they could be; and the Kisses
and groans must, therefore, be regarded as pro-
seeding from sim ng party antpathies. In Mr..
CRIrTENpEN's case the disapprobation preceded
the reading of his communication.
This is one circumstance that imparts a
somewhat unpleasant aspect TO the whole affair.
Another is, that in the whole list Of toasts,
official and volunteer, no mention is made of
the PRESIDENT of the United States, of the
Administration of which he is the head or of
the Congress of the country. The country 1t
self was toasted--so were Turkey, Hungary,
France, and England; the Mississippi and her
officers were honored with bumper; but the
Legislature and the Government which had
acted as the exponents of the American will,
and had despatched the Mississippi on her er-
rand of liberation, were passed over without
word or cheer The New York Commercial
Advertiser remarks:
.How happens il that tho President of the Uni.
tod States was not one of the regular toasts last
evening1 Has disloyalty already crept into tho
camp of Young America" Have Hungary and
