ALBERT S. EVANS.
LATER.
Since the above was received. Mr.. Evans, has
arrived here and furnishes the following par
ticulars, and list of those injured by the catas-
trophe.
p. S. 10 A. M-The sufferers have all been
removed to a large Stone Building on Scott ST.,
and the employees Of the r. |. Road are using
every effort to alleviate their sufferings. When
the engine was thrown off the track. the two for
ward passenger ears were hurled on the top of
it, the steam escaping, was driven with tremend-
Gus force through the dense mass of human beings
packed closely among the wrecks of the cars.
The Engineer, VIM. G. Brown, is fearfully scald-
ed. His brother who acting as fireman, had
his legs broken. A gentleman named Carpenter,
from Poughkeepsie, n. Y, fearfully bruised and
scalded.
j. w. Albin, Sarah Albin, Hannah Albin, and
-Albin, or Mungo Co., Ohio, are badly bruised
and scalded.
Mrs. Cox from Washington Co., Iowa, serious
ly injured.
Margaret Laughlin from Gettysberg, Pa, seri-
ously injured.
Many others injured whose names cannot be
ascertained.
The whole number seriously injured is now
said to be over forty. The conductor, Mr.. Van
Buskirk, escaped uninjured. Several of the scald-
ed were insensible, and others wore writhing in
their last agonies at the time of Mr.. Evans lea
wing Joliet, at 10 O'Clock A. NJ.
1t is but justice to the conductor and persons
having charge of the road to say that the accident
seems to have been utterly unavoidable, and was
in manner the result of carlessness, but that
no human foresight could have prevented it.

gone, autumn is going-winter is coming
Change is written on the face of all things. But
about the quickest and most extensive changes
that have come under our observation, of late,
are those brought about by our friend Frank Col
lins in his professional character. Every Satur-
day he may be seen and heard putting the s'crit-

money change hands to the delight of both buyer
and seller. Frank has, also, a large stock of dry
goods, clothing, &C., which he sells 70 just what

THE WRECK OF CAPIrAL.-The Hartford Times
calls attention to the fact that three of the great
Northern Railroads, whose business is chiefly done
in New England, and concentrated in Boston,
have not only ceased long since to pay any divi-
dends to their stockholders, but have just an
nounced that they are unable to continue the pay
ment of the interest due on their first mortgage
bonds-their second or third mortgage bonds, or
the payment of any interest upon them, being of
course entirely out of the question. This, the
Times justly regards one of the most important
financial events of the day, and quite as remark
able and unlocked for, as the Schuyler fraud
The railroads in question arc the Ogdensburgh,
the Vermont Central, and the Rutland, embracing,
together, ar aggregate length of 4l0 miles of
Railroad The total cost of these lines, including
the Vermont and Canada, which is least to the
Central, has been, taken their stock and bonds at
their par value, $24, 100000. All this vast
amount of capital now turns out, SO far as the
stockholders are concerned, to be complete
wreck, involving hundreds of people in severe and
ruinous losses. @ -1
This corporate reputation is, we believe, great
er than the aggregate reputation Of Pennsylva-
MIA, Indiana, and other States, which have denied
unconstitutional obligations, or refused to fulfil
legitimate ones. .ra

HoRRoRs OF THE CHINESE WAR.,-A friend has
kindly furnished us with an extract from pri-
vate letter just received from DR.. Parker, the
missionary surgeon of Canton, which will be
read with interest. The letter is dated Canton,
July Is, 1854, and rcaAs as follows
Selma is at present the theatre of civil war
and revolution, and within the last fortnight all
their horrors have been exhibited very near us
On the 9th of July, Fiehshon, Il town 10 or IL
miles west Of Canton, embracing nearly NIL
lion of people, fell into the power of the insur-
gents, and the impcrialists have endeavored i'll
vain to re-capture it. The smoke by day and fire
by night Of burning villages have been visible
from my terrace.
On the 18th inst the first blood was she'd on
the north of this city, few miles distant, if we
except that spilled by the sword of the exccu-
toner, the number of decapitations daily averag-
ing 80 or GO, and for the last ten years 50,OOO!
To-day there has been second battle in this vi
c;nity-6S insurgents taken prisoners and 100
slain.
| Day before yesterday the insurgents were VIC
torious, and 800 impcrialists were killed. 1t is
said some of the eaptves to-day were brought in
on poles their hands and feet being tied like pigs;
others who were brought in on thcpoints Of sharp
bamhoos; some have their ears cut off; others
are hamstrung. The panic in the city, as the
gates were closed during these skirmishes, and
the fright of women and children it is difficult to
portray; and from hour to hour we know not
what may become OF the condition of foreigners.
But, most fortunately, at present there is naval
force-British and American-ablc to protect us
| against anY mob. Alas for China.
