SHOCKING RAILROAD CALAMITY.

A frightful collision occurred on the Michi-
gan Southern Railroad, Saturday evening, near
the New Albany and Salem Railroad crossin g,
about miles this side of Laporte between a
freight tain and construction train, by which
eight men were killed and 90 to 80 wounded.
The facts as far as known are, that the con-
struetion train consisted of all engine and two
caboose csrs filled with laborers. II was about
helf-past six o'clock, and the engineer wished
reach Laporte as soon as possible. Hearing that
the freight train then due was behind time, he
resolved 70 run for Laporte. The freight train
was on time, however, and a terrible collision
occurred as the construction train was running
at greut speed.
The engineers and firemen of both trains
jumped and escaped uninjured. The engineer
of the construction train, who was entirely to
blame, fed to the woods and has not been seen
since The two locomotives we're smashed to
fragments; the tender on thu construction train
was driven back through both the cars filled
with laborers, making fright I'll havoc with hui
man life. Eight were killed on the spot and 20
to 80 dreadtuy manglcd.
Twenty cars on the freight train were broken
to pieces, and three new locomotives in the
train destined for tho Rock Island road were
demolished, with such force did the two trains
come together. The wounded we're conveyed to
Laporte as soon as relief could reach them, but
We are unable to gain further particulars at tn.
time.

Here 10 q specimen Of the way the political
campaign ID carried on in South Carolina The
picture is by correspondent Of the Charleston
Standard, writing from Columbia, Sept Ia
The scene Of action was at Greenvilie, on mus.
ter day:
/ s"Drswing up to a pen Of planks, where a
man with . barrel of liquor, a cask of water.
and tin measures, had introduced himself, we
found ourselves at the great centre aud focus
OF attraction. Col. Orr took the stand very
soon after our arrival, however, and reminding
his constituents that il had been his practice
TO make annul reports of Congressional proceed.
iDgs, went on to tell them that, to the best of
his judgment, all WAS not we'll He could not
say that Mr.. Fremont would be elected. he
thought he would not; but he was constrained
70 say the result of the contest was doubtful:
and as, in the event of his success, the domin.
ion Of the North over the Soutl-of sectional
ism oyer the Republic will have been commen.
ced, he saw the necessity, even now, for prepa.
ration to assert our right to liberty and self.
government.
Sen. Harrison spoke to the same point af.
ter the review was ended, and referring to the
speech Of Col. Orr, and the probabilities it sug.
gested Of the election of Fremont, said that the
Union and the Constitution are trusts commit
ted as well to ns as the North; that we have VIC.
lated none of our constitutional obligations, and
that If the North shall proceed to do so, it will
be our privilege and our duty to march to the
capital, to take the Government under our pro.
lection, and compel the North to obey and res.
pect the Constitution. This raised a tempest OF
applause, and the Colonel of the regiment and
all his officers expressed their readiness to
march upon the FIRST call for volunteers, to any
such object. 1t is mistake to apprehend sub
mission at the South. This has been strong
Union-loving regiment; they have not been pre-.
pared, and they are not now prepared for dis
solution, but they are ready to whip the North
whenever they are assured there is the proper
ground for doing so, and this for all the practi-
cal purposes of our condition is about all that
can be required The experience of Col Brooks
has shown that the popular heart is ready to re.
spond to any act in vindication of the South: it
has also shown that the occasion for such an act
viii certainly occur, if men are prompt to
meet them-in Congress, if not upon our own
soil-and even IN the present condition of pub
lie feeling, l am perfectly assured that while no
Southern State, perhaps, may be ready to with
draw from the Union upon the election of Mr. |
Fremont there is not one regiment in the South.
