Almond IN. Y.,) dated on Thursday, gives the fol-
lowing particulars of the king railroad accident
ION Wednesday evening,) IN addition to those pre-
viously communicated by telegraph:
The accommodation train, going east upon its
regular time, into its rear car totally de-
molshed, three persons instantly killed, two more
died this morning, and three more are not expected
to survive. 1t had passed heavily laden freight
train four miles west, and the conductor had drawn
out his watch, and quietly exclaimed that he had
one minute more to wait before his time to leave,
when the freight train was discovered close at hand
He Instantly gave the signal tostart, and sprang on
the platform, but it was too late, and the traght en-
CINE ran entirely through the rear of the accom-
mediation train, which remains inclosing the engine
like she'll.
The killed and wounded are as follows:
| D. KiLLed-Matthew b. Stiman, Friendship, New
York; Ezra Saxebury, Hornelsville; James Neil
roy, brakeman accommodation train, Canada; Thos.

conductor accommodation train, badly injured by a
blow on the head: John McCarty, Catharlne, Che
mung county, N. York, badly; John Clandy, Wa
verify, N. York. .,.. ~ .....a ..
The engineman of the freight train lodged down
behind the fire-b box and not injured. The fire.
man OF that train jumped off and escaped. There
were fortunately but eleven persons on board the
car and YOU see that it destroyed pretty much all.
Those who survived the crash were scalded by
steam from the battered engine, which had literally
gone into the car, and completely inclosed
| by it..
This must have been sheer carelesSness on the
part of the managers of the freight tran since is
not possible that it had any right to leave the pas
sing station soon, as TO run 10 another station
before the proper time of the proceeding tram to
leave it. This is the second fatal accident of tn
same kind. $50 in'-

An Indinn Fight md ''Trenty of Peace" in
Oregon.
| We learn from persons just in from Rogue river,
that regular pitched battle was fought few days
| ago near Table Rock, between large party Of In
dians and the Whites. Tile difficulty grew out of Il
determination on The part of +" SAM the chief,
10 get possession of little child of Dr.. Ambrose,
formerly of Vancouver and upon refusal OF DR.. A.
10 comply with his wishes, the chief demanded
three beef cattle to be given him, or the Doctor
must leave the valley whereapon the Doctor made
the miners at Jacksonville acquainted with the
facts and his situation, who Immediately formed a
company of serentytive, marched down to Big Bar
and sent for the chief TO have tak and make a
treaty. The chief came over, but declined to en-
ter into any TERMS and asked for barley until the
next day, with the understanding that, in case he
did not come with his warriors by ten oclock,
the whites might consderit as declaration of war.
The chief came over, but nothing definite could be
arranged with him, and, after returning, sent over
of these Indians hostages for the good faith
of "Sam,'' the chief. Soon after, one of the prs-
onerS drew his bow upon one of the whites, and
about TO shoot, when the sudden fire of mi
ner killed the Indian instantly. A regular en-
gagement Immediately followed this event, which
lasted about hail an hour, and which resulted in
the whites killing all but three four of the lndi-
ans engaged in the contest, After this party of
whites, numbering about forty men, ma rched down
to Evans ferry, attacked party of Indians en-
camped there, killed eleven, and captured three of
the chief family. The next day two white men
and a Clickaat lndian who had wandered from
the camp, were surrounded by some two hundred
Indians. The Clckatat was shot through the body,
but is now recovering. The three escaped after
killing several of the ed-skns." That night the
whites under the cover of the darkness, surround
ed the whole band of Indians in their encampment,
and on the approach of daylight, made their appear
ance. The Indians, finding themselves complete
ly surrounded, threw away their arms and upon
their knees begged for quarters. The miners COM
piled, and they all marched over to the Indian
agency, when Judge Skinner made treaty of
peace, which was signed by all the chiefs.
