Another Fearful Railroad Calamity.

CHICAGO, Nov. B. The passenger train for
Rock Island, which left Chicago at Ill o'clock
on Wednesday night, met with a most fright
full accident, caused BY the breaking Of an
axletree of the engine, when near the Minoka
station, the result it is said, of running over a
horse on the track. The engine and a por-
ton Of all the cars were thrown with great
violence from the track, breaking the ribs Of
the engineer, and killing or wounding and
scalding from thirty to forty first class passen-
gers. The citizens of Joliet promptly rem
dered all the assistance in their power to the
wounded. Physicians who were present say
that at least ten or twelve Of those scalded
will die within twenty-fOur hours. At the
latest accounts all the sufferers had been re-
moved to a large stone building on Scott street,
in the village of Joliet, and the employees of
the Railroad Company, as well as the citizens
Of the village, were using every effort to allie
viate their suflerngs
It appears that when the engine was thrown
off the track the two forward passenger cars
were hurled on top Of it, and the steam es-
Gaping was driven with tremendous force
through the dense mass of human beings
packed closely amongst the wreck of the cars.
We have been unable 10 learn the names of
the sufferers, but are assured, on what we
have reason to believe, to be respectable au-
thority, that the whole number of passengers
who were seriously wounded, is not under
forty The conductor of the train Mr.. Van
Burket, escaped with but very slight injury.
When our messenger left the scene Of disas-
ter, at 10 o'clock yesterday forenoon, several
of those who were scalded remained insensi-
Bile, and others were writing in their last
apOnies

A Serious T1mh-The Washington Unic

A Serious I1uh.-The Washington Union,

arrogantly defended and never have Tie no

The Danger.

The apathy of the public mind relative to the
danger of the spread of disunion doctrines is
deeply to be regretted. The reason why no
harm, heretofore, has come to the Union from
the election Of members of congress, and even
vice president who became president, is, be-
cause the doctrines which they maintained be-
fore the people were abandoned in legislation.
The Wilmot proviso, once the great object OF
northern doatry, was abandoned for the non
Intervention policy; and a president, who
pledged himself 10 the anti-savery platform
signed the compromise acts. 1t was these
acts-conceived in a wide patti iotism-that
averted the immediate danger 10 the Union and
allayed the storm. 1t was these wise meas
nres that restored commercial intercourse and
made peace between different sections
Propositions worse, far more dangerous than
the proviso, are now before the people and
the spirit with which they are pressed is an
unylelding spirit. Those who can see men,
Der after member Of congress elected pledged
to such disunion proposition as that Of no
more slave states and regard the Union not
to be in danger. if this be carried out, as free
soilers at heart, and no true friends to sound
constitutional principles and we would no
more trust such than we would trust Garrison
treason gets TO head, for every true friend to
the Union and the Constitution to use his whole
influence against the torrent of aboltionism.
The Washington Union has very able ar
ticle relative 10 this subject entitled The Dan
GER 1t states the great fact that controlling
political organizations are committed to the
three startling propositions of. The repeal
Of the fugitive slave law, which involves re-
pudlation of the 1850 compromise. 2. The
repeal of the repeating clause of the Kansas
and Nebraska act, which involves an imprac-
ticable issue. 3. The resistance to the ad-
mission into the Union Of more slave states,
which is one it says, that has filled the
stoutest hearts with sense of Danger Should
it be carried out, the Union says, the dread
tul truth ,ciU rise unbidden to every mind, that
the day on 10hich united north shall refuse ad-
mission Of a nelo state upon the ground that its
constitution recognizes Slavery, ,0iA be the last
day ofthe conederacy'
We are of those who believe the Union
writes the truth The danger can only be
averted by an abandonment of the propositions.

The Fallen " Fusion Star.

Fusionism has lost bright particular star
in New Hampshire, the negro John Marshall,
a sainted abolition lecturer, who was Just en-
tering the canvass for the next New Hamp-
shire election, and was expected to do as much
to reform that State as the lying Dud Palmer
did before him. The New Hampshire States
man notices the fall Of the negro and the fu-
sionists loss as follows g.
A FALLEN STAR-One of the sainted aboli-
ton lecturers, a negro named John Marshall,
who has been teaching the immortality Of
slavery to the people of this State, was recent
ly driven beyond its borders for attempting to
take liberties with the wife of a clergyman in
Eaton, who had harbored the black scamp at
his Preside. Marshall Indignantly denied the
published charges against his character, but
Elder Elias Hutchins, pastor of the FreewIll
Baptist church in Dover, after making diligent
enquiries, informs the friends of the slave that
Marshall has forfeited their confidence and
rendered himself unworthy of their counte-
nance. This is a serious loss to the fusionsts
at the present time, as a colored man of Mar
shall's stamp must have been an effective
apostle of negro rights. He will doubtless re-
enter the abolition field, prepared for new con
quests, in some other state where the doctrine
of practical amalgamation is better understood
and appreciated than in New Hampshire.

MARRIAGE "a LA MODE" A "spiritual mar

on the 18th October. The bride was one Julia
Hurlbut and the bridegroom doctor Of the
same name. The ceremony consisted of mat
rimonial declarations made by themselves in
the presence of the friends, about fifty being
present. The service consisted of the follow
ing poelical announcement: "Have you seen
the morning sunbeam kiss the opening bios
som? Thus did our spirits meet and greet at
the first interview and as the invisible ee-
ments Of nature unite and blend in one har-
monious impulse, so our spirits affinitized
into one accordant living force. Whoever are
thus united by the eternal laws Of affinity,
naught has the authority to separate. We
thus introduce ourselves unto you in the rela-
ton Of husband and wife"
