FATE OF Mr.. FREANER.-'The brave aud ia
Tented Col. Freaner, whose letters under the
signature OF Mustang" were so Justly admired
during the Mexican war, has fallen victim to
savage barbarity near the Southern boundary of
Oregon. He started for the Shasta country in
company with four or FIVE others, some five
weeks ago, for the purpose Of attending the De-
mocfatic State Convention. since which time the
party has not baen heard from, although the ami
mai he rode has strayed into one of the settle
ments. An Indian squaw, who has fallen into
the hands of Americans, reports TINT party of
mon bearing the description Of Freaner's were
murdered by the Pitt River Indians, and the re-
port is in all probability correct. Freaner, To-
BIN Peopes-three men who gained literary
distinction in the Mexican War-all find an ear

THE NEW BOSTON SPEECH AGAIN.

The Democratic press of Alabama and Missis

Gently delivered by Judge Tarpley, Southern

the subject OF the New Boston speech. The
Judge stated that the General assured him that
Nlr. toss's report was tissue of missrepresenta-
tlons' aud that he had repeatedly denounced it.
~ told Foss to his face,'' the Judge reported
General Pierce to have said, ..that he had mis-
represented me wiltully and maliciously."

the contradiction with that addressed to Mr.. De

THE OPINION OF A NEUTRAL JouRNAL.-The
venerable und intelligent editor of the Baltimore
Clipper surveys the field of warfare from an ad-
vantageous position, that of one who has Withdrawn
himself from the excitement of the contest. He
remarks:
Atthe commencement of the Presidential cam
paign, the supporters of General Pierce liked as
though they thought that there would be no con-
test; and we understood that some of them were
foolish enough to bet that General Scott would
not get more than ono State-and even now the
New DIRK Herald gives him but four States
We insisted that this great confidence was based
on deusion, and the result will show that we
We're right The calculation of the New York
Herald is not worth button; and it will be
found, that If General Pierce is elected at all it
Will be by close vote. His friends begin to
open their eyes to facts, aud to discover that his
success Is Dot so certain was supposed. They
are somewhat Disconnected at the discovery. for
they have found that more labor will have to be
performed than was contemplated. Can they
claim the great State of New York with any
thing like certainty! We know that the Whigs
calculate to carry it by fourteen TO fifteen thou
sand majority. Will they get the vote of Penn
sylvania! Even tho New York Herald gives
that State to General Scott. Do they count on
Ohio! The result there is very uncertain. Late
accounts make it very certain for Scott1 Can
they set down either Kentucky, Tennessee, Lou
lsiana, North Carolina, Massachusetts, Connec-
lieut. Vermont, or Rhode Island, as certain for
General Pierce! The possibility is, that he will
not receive the electoral vote of a single one of
tnese States-and yetthe assurance is daily given
tnat General Pierce will be elected President by
an overwhelming VOTE This is absolute non
sense. The battle is by means won by him;
but on the contrary will certainly be lost, if his
friends rely on such calculations as those made by
the New York Herald. They may lead the
Democratic party intoa false security, and cause
large sums of money to be lost upon the ISSUE

HoRaIBLE.-The Augusta (Georgia) Constitu-
tlonallst' speaking ola recent accident on the
Georgia State Road, by which two mon were
kled'.gives the following particulars =
Among the horrible circumstances of this &C
cident isthe following, as we are informed One
OF the iremen was caught by the feet between
the locomotive and the tender, and held fast in
this position, his head hanging downwards, and
his feet dreadfully crushed. Neither the con
ductor, who was unhurt, nor the passengers, had
the presence of mind to use proper exertions to
relieve him, and the poor fellow in his agony
entreated them to saw his legs off. Finally, this
was actually done by some QUE, with common
hand saw, and the man was allowed to drop down
to the ground, and bleed to death.
No effort was made to stop the hemorrhage,
and the poor victim of this more than SAVAGE
stupidity and barbarism soon bed to death. After
the fireman was thus relieved from his position,
bar OF iron was obtained, and the ocomotiv and
tender priced apart, that the feet were rescued
and dropped out from between them. This could
nave been as we'll accomplished before as after
saving off the legs. Do the annals of railroad
travel afford parallel to such story?
