The Late Freshets in Indiana and the south
ern part of Ohio have been very destructive to
the Railroads The Cincinnati Atlas of Tues
day says:
The Freight train leaving indianapolis Friday
for Madison in crossing bridge gave way en-
quitting the Locomotive Tender and six of the
ten cars of Barrel Pork, Flour and Wheat, with
three men on the train, in the boisterous waters
beneath. The Engineer and Fireman were
drowned, and their bodies obtained-the Su-
perintendent of the carpenter shop at lndianap-
oils was lost, and his body not yet found. We
have since learned that the bodies were recov-
ered some two or three cars having been piled
upon them.
Three bridges on this road are destroyed the
bridge where this accident occurred, Bayou
bridge, and the ons over Have Creek.
The Jacksonville Railroad which connects
with the Madison at Columbus, has suffered Sc
verely in the wholesale destruction of track and
bridges.
We hear of similar accident to a freight
train going out on Friday from indianapolis to-
wards Lafayette, the whole train running into
Sand Creek, after the bridge had been washed
away, all on board, five in number drowned.

GEN. CAss AND THE PACIFIC RAILROAD
When such grave and digni6ed men as Gen.
Cass, talk thus about this great project, it is
bound to GO ahead. In a late speech the Gen..
said
1t is my decided conviction that one of the
most important measures-thc most important,
indeed, for this government-s the construc-
ton, so far rs our constitutional authority per-
mits ,of railroad from some point upon the Mis-
sissippi, to the Pacific Ocean. say some point
upon the Mississippi, for it is perfectly indffer-
ent to me where it is and ! hope the friends of
this great object will not fritter away their
strength by mere local questions of direction.
and termination. Let those matters be settled
by commissioners, or in some other practical
manner, but let us bend our undivided force to
the great work itself. When completed, as IL
is sure to be- it will bind this great republic to-
gether literally by bands of iron, and by the still
stronger bonds of confidence and interest, and
San Francisco will be practically nearer the seat
of government, than Savannah was at the adop-
ton of the constitution"

The FREsHET.-The result: of the heavy and
almost incessant rains of Wednesday and Thurs
day last which seemed to be very general, has
done much damage in the vicinity of Cincinnati
The damage was considerable to both our rail
roads and canals. The injury to the Little Mi
ami road, has already been repaired, but we are
informed that the Hamilton and Eaton road is in
a worse condition. The Turin Creek bridge
being so injured as probably to cause considera-
BILE delay at that point, but not to the working
of the road. The Whitewater Valley canal,
north of Harrison, is in boating order.

said on both Sides"

The engines Of the Calorc Ship are nearly
completed, and it is now supposed that the YES
sci will be ready for trial in the course of the
next week. AS no outsider is permitted on
board, we must necessarily take other authority
than actual observation for the alleged perform
ances of the machinery. All we can do is to
watch the wheels at distance and see that they
do revolve, irregulary but rapidly enough for
purposes of navigation. 1t is said that the en-
gines by consuming only 42O pounds of coal
per hour, drive the wheels six revolutions per
minute, for any length of time. There is great
anxiety in regard to the natter and we hope
the propretors will take the earliest opportun-
ty to satisfy the eager curiosity of the world.

THEN AND Now.--Fifty years ago steamboats,
were unknown now there are 5000 ahoat on
American waters alone. In 1900 there was not
a railroad in the world; now there are 10000
miles in the United States, and about %, 900 in
America and England. Half century ago it
took some weeks to convey news from Wash
ington to New Orleans: now not as many Sec
onds as it then did weeks. Fifty years ago the
most rapid printing press, was worked by hand
power; now steam prints twenty thousand pa
pers an hour on single press. Now, is a great
fellow, but will be much bigger half century

CALIFORNIA.

The California steamer arrived at New York
on the 2Sth, and brings IL days later news, and
quite as important, nearly three millions in gold
the greatest amount ever shipped by one steam
err. Yet we will not venture To say that this
enormous shipment is the maximum. The news
from the mining districts embraces evidences of
the commencement Of stirring times but the
roads are represented to be in very bad state,
which renders it somewhat difficult for the mi
ners to get provisions, and they are consequent
lv very high. The agricultural resources ofthe
new State are beginning to be developed, ms will
be seen by the census tables, 10 degree which
will soon open the eyes Of the farmers in the
older States, and induce the enterprising tillers
of the soil TO move q little further towards the
setting sun, where prices are more remunerative.
The city Of Sacramento is rising rapidly from its

cts printed, with his name on them for the neg
ected office and thirty of them were slyly voted.
There was but one vote cast against him, and
the consequence is, he is elected by tweEty-nipe
majority precisely. Should the Supreme Court
decide in his favor, he steps into about $4,000
a year. 1t is proposed that application be made
to the proper Legislative authorities for an act
to change the name of "Winter' to that of
" Rainy Season" 1t is thought that the charac-
ter of the season is so entirely assimilated to
tropical conditions, that the new name will be
more appropriate, besides being free from those
terrors which the old one bears with it. The
subject deserves attention.
