THE VINDICATOR.
STANTON, VA.
MONDAY MORNING, MARCH 81.
Arrival Of the Cars---Distrs. ssang Accaoen'

Arrival Of the Cars--Distr.. s'ns Aco'oen''
The first passenger car that has g,
surmounted the Blue Ridge, and penetra-
ted this portion of the Valley, arrived in
Staunton on last Monday, about sunset
The event was one anxiously looked for,
and was hailed with peculiar delight by
our people. On Tuesday morning, about
seven o'clock, the engine "Jos. R. An.
derscn,' built expressly for the temporary
track, and the car, started on their retul n
trip. There were about 40 passengers
some OF them from this place. When 60.
ing down the mountain on the eastern
side, the engine was detached from the
car. by the Chief Engineer, to try the de-
scent Of the car alone. After the latter
had proceeded about half way down, both
Of the brakes broke in consequence Of the
strain upon them, aud the car commenced
descending a: fearful rate down the grade
Of 300 feet. The engine in the mean time
was proceeding at a slow pace and had
reached the terminus Of the State work
when it was struck by the car, crushing IN
the end Of the latter aud knocking off the
engine house.
The following particulars are taken from
statement in the Dispatch, made by Mr..
Alexander, Of the Charlottesville Jeffer-
sonian:
lr an instant we came together. Those
on the engine were swept off into the
road with the house of the engine, and
fortunately escaped without serious injury.
Those of us who were in the car were
Frustrated amid the wreck Of seats. Miss
Kinney, daughter of lVm. Kinney, Esq,
who was sitting near the stove, had her face
burned. Mr.. George Clemens,an employee
on the road, who was on the platform of
the cars, jumped off, but unfortunately fell
ON the track, and the passenger car passed
over both his legs, aud he will probably
lose his life. After the crash the cars be-
gan to descend with increased speed, when
jumped off from the rear of the car; Mr..
Glll and another gentleman did the same.
fell upon my back, and, thank God, es-
capped with only some bruises. Mr.. Gill
received an injury OH his face. We had
ladies in the cars, and it is wonderful that
they, as well as the other passengers, es-
capped with their lives.
Miss Virginia Kinney the young lady who
was so badly burned, is the eldes. daugh-
ter Of Jefferson Kinney, and not William.
We understand that she has suffered very
much from the burns, and has been unable
to partake Of any nourishment scarcely
her upper lip being cut and burned in
shocking manner. Her escape from burn
ing to death was by accident. for when
found, her clothes were nearly all burned
off her.
Since writing the above, we learn Mr..
Clemens has died.

~ The Senate's Nebraska and Kansas
bill, was rcfer TO the Committee of the
Whole, in the House Of Representatives,
on the 21st inst, by vote of ITO to 95.-
This is considered by many equivalent to
defeat of the bill, at least for this session,
for the time employed in discussing it
will run through the session. The motion
to refer was made by MI. Cutting, Of New
York-an avowed friend to the original
bill, but an opposer Of Mr.. Badger amend
ment. For ourselves, we are Of the opin-
ion, that this course is pursued in order to
defeat the bill. 1t is now considered an
administration measure, and Mr.. Cutting
it is well known, is one of the most inn
placable enemies to the Administration
arising from the New York squabble.-
We trust, however, that we may be DIS
appointed in our suspicious. and that the
discussion on the bill will speedily close,
and the House pass it. Ofthe 40 votes
in favor of the motion, all but nine were
given by non-slaveholding States. Of the
nine from the slave-holding States, six
were given by Wings and three by Dem
ocrats. OF the IS noes, ~ are from nom
States, and 6S from slayehold-
ing States. All from non-slaveholding
States who voted against the motion, are
Democrats. Fourteen Southern Whias
voted against it and SIX for it.

to the front Of the waist, fitting, with the
assistance of raw cotton, neatly over the
