Fatal Rail Road Accident.

1t is with sincere regret that we learn that
between ten and elevei O'Clock on Monday
night, the Freight night Express train which
left Charleston that afternoon for Columbia,
was thrown off the track at place called Cat.
tie Creek, about SIS mikes from this city. the
engine and four freight cars being plunged a
depth Of 25 or 80 feet in consequence of some
evil disposed person or persons having malici.
ously placed two'bars of old Aange iron in such
position as to lead the train off the track
The engineer, Isaac Winters, and two firemen
named Samuel Willis, and w. F. Sneed, were
taken from beneath the engine, and conveyed
to Branchvle, short distance above, where
they received every attention that medical
skill could suggest. They were, however, so
seriously scalded that Winters died in abuut
an hour, and Willis in about four after the oc.
currence of the accident. The injuries to Snead
are also of a highly ydangerous character, and
we understand that it is not anticipated that
he can survive. -.
The melancholy occurrence took place short.
ly after the train for Hamburg had passed up.
The bodies of the dead were brought to this
city by the train from Columbia yesterday, and
an inquest was held on them the same after.

OrR MEx1cAy PoL1oY --Wbile Santa An

=
Our MEXICAN PoLrcY. While Santa Anna
is preparing his forces, ostensibly to resist
Northern aggression but primarily to crush
all opposition, within Mexico, to his assump-
tion of despotic power, it may be well to state
concisely the policy which the Government Of.
the United States will oppose torhis craft Or
his intrigues. First, twill neither sriHe nor
higgle with him about the Messiila Valley.
The proper boundary line, under the treaty Of
Guadalupe Hidalgo, gives US all Of the Valley
that we want, and, Notwithstanding Mr.. Bart
,lett's opinions, or Mexican bluster, our Govern.
ment will adhere to the true meaning ofsthe
treaty. Second, it will sustain the claim Of
its citizens, sufferers by Mexico repudiaiion Of
the Garay Grant; but, at the came time, throw
no obstacles nor Encouragement in, the way of
the accomplishment Of the objects. proposed
in the Sloo Contract. -. T.
These are the matters, at present, of most
Importance in our relatlonswith Mexico. But
if;it be true that Santa Anna is.intrigung with
European powers, to effect an alliance defen-
sive and offensive, against the United States,
all minor difficulties may be swallowed up in
the one great issue Of American non.nteryen-
ton against European interyention-the, Mon
roe doctrine against an anti.repnblican combi-
nation. In this event, onr Government. will
firmly maintain the policy which REJECTS the
idea Of Interference or colonization on this
side the ocean, by any foreign power, beyond
present Jurisdiction, as utterly inadmissable." Z

FOURTH CONGRESSIONAL DIsrRICT OF KEN

Hon. Mr.. Everett's Speech.

The able impromptu of the Hon. MI. EVE
RErr at the Boston dinner is replete with
maxims Of sound political philosophy, clothed
in language at once nervous and beautiful.
We know no states man who unites with such
just ideas of national policy so wise an appre-
citation Of the value of national progress. We
must confess we have never held in much
admiration the tmid Conservatism" which
sees In any change the downfall Of all that we
most honor in the institutions of our country
Guided by the principles which founded oul
freedom, there is scarcely any innovation thai
is not an improvement. We have been terri
bly, radical. We have overthrown monar
chy. and erected powerful government ou
of the shattered fragments. We have dis
carded standing army, and conquered vet
eran soldiers with ragged militia. We
have dispensed with an established church
and done more to promote religion and educa
tion than any other nation. We have abolish
ed imprisonment for debt, and yet private credi
was never higher in any country. We hav
created public and corporate debts, which are
source of public prosperity. We have extend
ed the right of suffrage to all men, and yet pol
millions of votes without popular disturbance
We have able statesmen without diplomatic
training, successful generals without military
experience, orators ignorant of the rules Of elo-
cution, writers without collegiate study. W.
have shipwrights by instinct, and manufacturers
by imitation. In word, there has never beer
so much innovation in the history Of the world
nor has there ever been so much prosperity ant
progress.

and will unquestionably succeed if sustained from
the beginning as Georgetown is capable of sus-
tanning paper; but if the families and business
men Of the town adopt the not unusual mode of
withdrawing their patronage until they ho,p the
business prospers, it were kinder in them to frown
upon the enterprise at once. 1t is during and
throughout the first year of the existence of pa
per that its friends have an opportunity of rem
dering it service. The ordeal of that period
once passed, it is independent of favors and capa-

From YUCATAN-A SLAYER CAPTURED let
ter from Yucatan, dated June a. narrates the
capture of SLAYER, which arrived at Laguna de
Terminus on the 30th of May. She came in under
Mexican colors, which was, as you may imagine
another matter Of surprise to our people, AS soon
as the captain Of the port 8 boat came ashore from
the customary visit, the vessel was said to be the
Mexican ship Mariana, Captain Juan Gutierrez,
of the burden of about five hundred tons Ameri-
can, though she entered here only four hundred
| and ten tons Mexican measurement. She came
from Cenfuegos, Cuba, had eight days passage,
a crew of about thirty men, and about three hun
dred pipes of water as ballast. She came consign-
ed to a very respectable house here, and brought
letter Of credit to considerable amount. 1t was
soon suspected that she had been OH Shaving cx-
petition, and after some of her crew (who were
mostly all Spaniards) had been discharged, some
of them publicly gave out that the vessel had been
on the coast of Mozambique, East Africa, where
she had taken in above thousand three hun
dred negroes--two hundred of whom died on the
passage, and the remaining one thousand one hun
dred had been discharged at or near Cienfuegos, n
short time before the vessel arrival here.
She had been chased by an English cruiser off
the Cape Of Good Hope. The vessel is now I'M
der seizure of this custom-house, for some want of
formalty in her ships papers. The crew have
almost all been paid off, and most of them have
already left for Campeachy and other points
She answers the description given of the Lady

cenber last, and is, no doubt, the same vessel un-
