CoLLIsIoN.-We learn that collision took place
about four o'clock this morning, near Teachey's De
pot, on the Wilmington & Raleigh Railroad between
the passenger train coming South and freight train
The locomotives, cars, etc., are much injured, al
though we have no details. The colored fireman of
the passenger train has had one of his legs mashed
off, and some three or four others are more or less
hurt, but none killed. None of the passengers have
been hurt to any extent worth naming. The express
train going North has returned being unable to pass,
bringing the passengers of the down train. The
fault was with the freight train

We are pleased to see that the notorious Edison Ods
M c., from Ohio the that the Brigader appoint
ed Special Mail Agent, that he could travel the
Railroads Free and do his eectioneeng for nothing has
been beaten by Samuel Galloway Wing BY 600 majority
This same Edison B. OIds, over whose defeat the
Herald rejoces voted, while 10 Congress. for every
Southern measure, for the fugitive slave law the Ne
braska bill, and the Cape Fear appropriation; and
this Samuel Galloway, Wing, over whose election it
reoices as Wing triumph, is one of the most noto-
rous Abolitionsts in Ohio. Such is the gratitude of
the Herald-such the triumph it hails-such the
men it abuses-such the men it supports Can this
be fair index of Southern whiggery9
While sectional Abolitionism, Know Moth ingism
and every other aSn combined has achieved tempo
rary triumph over the National Democratic party at
the North the South stands true to its friends, and
in North Carolina, Florida, and everywhere else, the
banner of Democracy is proudly triumphant. The
Herald may rejoice the triumph of abolitionism
at the North-aDe choose to look to the ascendency
OF Democracy at the South.
Anti.Nebraska has swept Ohio and Indiana like a
tornado, carrying everything before it; with isolated
exceptions, the regular Democratic candidates have
been defeated by antiNebraska men. 1t makes little
difference what party name the fusonist candidates
give themselves-the effect is the same, and we
would lust as soon have them called Wings as Dem
ocrars. 1t is equally defeatin our eyes.

The loss of the Arctic is too recent to require any
remark. The Franklin and Humboldt were driven
ashore and lost, but without loss of life The loss of
life has been about thousand. The loss of the
vessels and cargoes involved sacrifice of property

II ycud be fllv 10 attribute Che defeat of the Dem

Il would be folly to attribute the defeat OF the DEM
ocrata at the North to the Know-Nothing organiza-
ton, which, by ITSELF is totally powerless to produce
any such result. 1t is simply one element, or one
party in conglomeration of elements The Free
soil anti.Nebraska Fusion of Whigs with portion
of the Northern Democrats, is the real cause. The
disappointed of all factions-the ambitious of all
fsms-the gathering together of the hungry from all
quarters, produced an alliance against which the
Democratic party had to fight single-handed- and
that weakened by secret treachery in its ranks
without efficient organization or concert OF action
was unable to make successful Roadway against the
torrent Of sectional anaticsm and the coalition of
jarring and discordant elements, met together for
once, under the name of "Know. Nothingism," or
any other ism, the mere name being immaterial, the
fact of the coalition or fusion existing The ismS,
having struck their bargain, have triumphed over
their great antagonist. With the victory of such an
ill-compacted horde commences its dispersion and
downfall. The fight over the spos-the struggle
for ascendency in it's ranks-the want of common
bond, founded upon community of feeling and prn'
cple, will resolve the affair into its original Ell
ements and, with the destruction of the substance
the mere shadow, whether calling itself Know-Noth
ingism, any other of the innumerable ismS ''tha
you read about" will pass away, as matter of ne
csssity.
The bubble will burst before the next Presidential
election-disSolve into thin air, and leave hardly
rack behind. The Democrats, taught useful lesson
will be still more national and more united-and, a
the only united and national party, will achieve
triumph equal in extent to, and permanent in it
effects than, that which preceded the advent of tn
present administration to power
