we send the products Of our soil and the

FURTHER PARTICULARS OF THE PAoIFIo r.
r. AooIDENT-ANorHER BRIDGE DowN.-We
copy the following from the St. Louis Intelli-
gencer of Saturday:
About l2t o'clock last night, train, consisting
of a locomotive and four cars, arrived at the Sew.
enth street depot
The majority of the survivors, together with the
dead and wounded left Hermann Tor this city at
about o'clock yesterday afternoon in the regular
train. On the way up, upon arriving at the bridge
across the creek known ST. Johns about four
miles above Washington, portion of the train was
left behind to provide for contingencies in case the
bridge mig break down, which was thought 10 be
quite probable, the creek being much swollen from
the heavy rains.
The balance Of the train proceeded to Hermann,
took on the survivors, the wounded, and the dead,
and about o'clock started on its return. About
o'clock they reached the bridge across St. Johu's
creek Before starting TO cross a number of the
unhur at the disaster got out Of the and walk
ed across the bridge; afterwards soon as the 10.
connective started TO cross, the whole structure gave
way, and the entire train of cars, containing the
dead and wounded and most Of the survivors was
left IN the other side of the bridge
Those who walked across got in the cars which
arrived last night and proceeded Immediately TO the
city. How soon the dead and wounded NAV be
Drought w, III i Impossible 10 conjecture. When
our informant left the creek there was no show for
anything cross there being no boats Ct any des.
oription at Land. The only chance woald be TO
send ferry boats from Washington up the creek to
bring down the people. The wounded were all
plac d In one car, and with the Kind attentions Of
physicians and friends, we're doing as we'll as could
be expected. The dead were all boxed up and
placed in a separate car Below we subjoin a list
OF the dead, composed partly Of the list We gave
yesterday:

az Mr.. @. W. Lamorendiere writes TO the
Detroit Advertiser that the Beaver Island Nor
mons have number of small vessels, and carry
on regularly organized system Of piracy; and
that in the Straits of Michilimackinaw and vici-
nifty, they have committed robberies during the
present season, amounting to from $1,000 to
81, 500 worth of pro oerty. He himself has been
one of the sufferers. The Detroit Tribune also
charges that vessels having valuable esrgoes
are wrecked on Beaver Island through the vii
lainy of the lighthouse keeper. This man Is a
Mormon, the former lighthouse keeper having
been removed to make room for him, IN conse-
quence Of the Mormons all having voted fol
certain Democrats candidates. So says the
Tribune.

President PIERcE THROWN 0vERBoARD-The
ouce great and powerful Administration parts, says
the Louisville Journal, little while ago found no
word sufficient to express admiration OF Franklin
Pierce, is now trying to repudate him. Its consti-
tueuts are wrangling among themselves as to who
has brought defeat and hopelessness upon the party
Poor Pierce is made the scapegoat Of everybody's
faults, aud must bear all the blame. This sur.
passing patriot, statesman, and warrior, this second
Washington and greater than Andrew jackson,
has fallen from bis high estate in his party, until
there are now mo so poor to do him reverence"
The Ohio State Democrat, commenting upon the
result of the last election, disastrous to its party
says
The first great cause.-the great folly which pro.
duced this state OF things the casting aside Of
frst rate men aud electing third aud iourth-rate
men 10 the Presidency. Had Gen Cass, Mr..
Buchanan, or any OF the other fret minds Of the
nation, guided the des'iues OF the Republic
since the 4th of March, 1858, these things would
not have been.

Lieutenant General Scott

The President has decided that the distin-
guished Commander-in-C Chief OF the Army is
entitled to pay as Lieut.. General, from the 10Th
of May, 1647. This decision is, no doubt in
accordance with the intention Of Congress in
comforting upon Gen. SooTr the rank previously
held in this country only by Gen. WASHINGTON;
because, high as the complimentary title might
in itself have been considered, the national
heart cheerfully responded to the first sugges-
ton. and would have been satisfied with moth
ing less than a substantial token of the coun-
try's gratitude, and its high appreciation Of the
merit of this renowned officer.
The following is the Executive Proclamation:
"The President of the United States of America,
to all who shall see these Presents, greeting:
"Know ye that do hereby confer Oh Major
General WINFIELD ScOrT, Of the Army Of the Uni
ted States, by and with the advice and consent Of
the Senate, the rank of Lieut.. General by brevet,
in said army, for eminent services in the late war
with Mexico, to take rank as such from the 29th
day of March, in the year of our Lord one thousand
eight hundred and iOrty-seven, the day on which
the United States forces under his command cap
tured Vera Cruz and the Castle of San Juan de
Ulloa'
"And do strictly charge and require all officers
and soldiers under his command, to obey and res
pect him accordingly aud he is to observe and fol
low such orders and directions, from time to time,
he shall receive from me- the future President of
the United States OF America, and other officers set
over him, according to law aud the rules and disci-
pine of war. This commission to continue in force
during the pleasure of the President Of the United
