"A HUNDRED MILES Hour. The Scientific
American has an engraving of the Railroad which is
Its distinctive principle is that the cars run on sin

is, in fact placed straddle of the rail, running on
wheels, to whose axels the cars hung. 1t is OBJ

by any amount Of speed, and obstruction of suf-
hcent magnitude to do mischief could be made to
lay upon single rail raised six eight feet from

! GREAT COLLISION AND MIRACULOUS ESCAPE. About
| six o'clock, on Wednesday evening, says the Free
City On. " Democrat the express train from Buffalo
came liz collision with tree blown the track
three quarters of mile cast Of Springfield station
| 25 miles west of Erie. The gale from the
| Lake had torn up hcmlock two feet in diameter
and cast it angu!ary the track The tree truck
the rail about twenty feet from its roots. The eve
! ming was dark and stormy. The accident occurred
in the woods which rendered objects less distinct.
The train had been delayed some hour and half at
Eric, waiting for the arrival of the Buffalo train.
When the collision happened, it moving at the
velocity Of forty miles per hour.
The crash was awful The tree, two feet in diam
ter was broken in three pieces and shvered as if
struck by thunderbolt. The locomotive smash
ed to pieces and destroyed. 1t turned and over
three times. The boiler broken, letting the
steam and scaldng water out to add to the alarm and
danger. The tender and two baggage cars were
hurled upon the fragments of the locomotive, and
smashed into one common wreck.
The first three passenger cars filled with people,
were dashed upon the ruins of tn baggage cars and
engine. They were badly broken and turned bot
tom side up. The last three of the train were
not thrown from the track nor very badly disabled
The horror and confusion of the scene were indie
scribabe. The train had over 400 passengers. The
shock hurled them from their seats and piled them
up among seats in terrible confusion. The collision
occurred before the engineer had time to whistle down
breaks let off steam, reverse the motion,
jump for his life. He pitched out head
foremost into the ditch among the limbs The fire
followed suit and the baggage masters piled after
them, all of whom received severe flesh bruises but
strange to saw escaped instant death, and managed
to crawl from under the ruin of broken and
fragments of smashed baggage. But, more miracu
lous still, none of the passengers were killed or even
had broken bones Many received slight Injuries,
and all were more or less shocked and scared.
The train made three four rebounds and adj
vances, after striking the tree before it came to
halt, each of which added 4" confusion confoun
ded to the general crash, and panic among the pas
sengers.
The screams wells and shouts that filled the night
air, after the accident, horrible The men be-
haved with less GOODNESS and presence of mind, in
many cases, than the women.
Immediately after the smash the conductor and
brakeman started for Springfield Station to stop the
Express train going cast, which would be due in
few minutes, and made no stop at that point. They
barely succeeded in reaching the station, and holding
up red light before the train came laundering along
Had it not been stopped, in a minute more another
and more terrible collision would have happened.
This train left its passengers at Springfield and took
those of the wrecked train and proceeded back to
this city Thursday morning

MESSAGE THE GOVERNOR OF GEORGIA. The mess
age of Gov. Cobb, transmitted to the Legislature of
Georgia, last week, is able and interesting dOcu
ment, devoted mainly to State affairs. We learn
from it that the State debt amounts to 81, 635 472
and that the bonds of the State negotiated in Janu
ary last, commanded premium of per cent. No
State in the Union, says the message, has ample
means than Georgia to meet its liabilities On the
goth Of October last, there available balance
of S74 S57 in the treasury. The Legislature is rec
commended to appropriate 900 to pay the interest
on the Central Bank bonds. The assets Of the bank
insufficient to meet its liabilities, by the of
$369, 800, which must be paid from the State
treasury, it is regarded portion of the State
debt. The Governor opposes the sale of the West
and Atlantic railroad, which is under State
management, but recommends that it be leased for
Is years, under act of Incorporation with cap
ital of 100000, condition that scn-annual pay
ments of per cent. on the capital be made to the
State, and that the charter be forfeited the first
failure to make the sem-annual payment.
The building of railroad cars is now carried on
quite extensively in the penentiary, and it is sug
gcsted that the State road should supply the material
in advance for the it may be likely to require
The propriety of providing asylum for lunat;c
slaves, (of which, however, there but few in the
State) is recommended, and the necessity for more
enlarged accommodations for the females of the pres
ent State Lunatic Asylum feelingly set forth. The
Deaf and Dumb Asylum, the Institution for the Blind
and the Military Institute all in prosperous
dition. The cause of popular eduction is ably set
forth by Gov. Cobb, and the necessity Of educating
the poor by appropriations from the public treasury
heartily commended. Biennial sessions of the Leg
slature it is commended have failed to subscrve the
interests of the State and return to annual sessions

mineral resources. The message concludes by re-
fcrring to the Lennon slave case decided sometime
since in New York, and suggesting that in case it
carried to the Supreme Court that the State of eor

ply counsel to be heard before that tribunal upon the

The MOUNTAIN WHITE SULPHER SPRINGS. These
highly valuable mineral springs, situated in the coun

Frost AND TILE CorroN CRop I

Frost AND THE CoTToN CROP. It is now quite
certain says the Nashville Banner, that the Cotton
crop has sustained serious injury from the late rosts
We know from reliable information that such is the
case in this State. Our accounts from Middle and
West Tennessee all agree that in the fresh and in the
rich bottom lands the top crop of bols have been
bitten as effectualy toprcvent their maturing. They
have, in fact to great extent become sodden, and
are rottng the stalk. The is true in regard
to the plant in Georgia and South Carolina, and we
may add, in Mississippi, far as we have heard.
In the Memphis Appeal find letter., from Yazoo
City, which states that the frost of the oath ult
followed by cold heavy rains and that the destruc-
ton of the top crop of bols the main reliance of the
planters in that section has been very great. We
concur in the opinion with the Appeal that there can
be no doubt of the present crops falling, at the least
calculation, quarter of million bales short of the
last crop. The probability, we think is, that the
difference will be even greater than that

TIE CROPS. We have heard but little said of the
yield Of the crop but satisfied it is very
short. Cotton is unprecedently backward in open

which mostly occurred after the termination of the
drouth The weed generally looked, before the frost
judge by the receipts at this place. up to this time,
the crop would appear greatly short of an average.
We have known much cotton sold in week at
since the first of September The small receipts arc
accounted for in part, by the backward growth of
the plant and the easy circumstances of planters and
their confidence in general short crop, and better
prices. Cher0ao Gazette.

Tee Danger of Musical Titles; Oh

lady of fashion (the we'll known Marchoness
of Fnsburry) had been lettering for nearly an
hour in fashionable music shop. She had pur-
chased copy Of nearly every piece of music
that had sentimental title. She had sent into
her carriage whole Canterbury full of "love,.
going through every mood of the feeling, past,
present or future, and was following their exam
pie, when, she paused upon the step, as if medi-
tating whether she would take it, or some other
step that was evidently turning itself over in her
mind. The shopman, who had been somewhat
moved by the tender tone of voice in which she
had asked him, "Wilt thou love me then as now!''
watched her with anxiety that betrayed itself
too plaialy in the adjustment of his shirt collar
and the arrangement of his hair. Suddenly the
marchioness seemed resolved. As with one
bound she. cleared the pavement, and breathless
pale, her auburn ripglets futtering in the wind
stood once more before the admiring shopman:
81 had nearly forgotton," she said, in a voice
that seemed to veil her blushing words" Dear

She raised her beautiful eyes full upon his and
met them boldly, unblushingly' She then, with
out betraying any emotion, repeated her question,
adding as calmly possible, eff you cannot give
it to me now, will call some other time"
He could doubt no longer! Springing over
the counter, he seized hold of the marchioness's
fair form, and then and there gave the kiss so
earnestly begged for previous to departure. To
his great astonishment, the only return the mar
chioness made, to give him tremendous
box on the ears. This followed by volley
of blows dealt by her parasol over his head, which
were accompanied by an equal number of shrieks
that never terminated until the police came into
the shop. The affair was carried to Bow ST., but
was soon dismissed, upon it being explained that
s' One Kiss Before Parting,'' was the title of a
song which the unsophstical shopman, blissfully
green from his native fields, had never heard o
