The Railroad Accident at Derby.


 The report which we gave last week of fa- tai accident on the Naugatuc road, proves too true. The particulars of the disaster, as we gather from the Valley Messenger, are as fol lows Tie freight train mp on Tuesday noon vas crossing the trestle-work bridge at Derby Narrows, and running at velocity not exceed ing six miles an hour, when one of the braces gave way, and the engine, tender and six freight cars plunged of the track to the ground, dis tance of twelve or fifteen feet, andin an instant were perfect wreck The engineer and fire man were both landed safely in the top of the engine-house, almost the only part in state of preservation. The brakemen escaped al- most mraculously. The conductor. Mir. Hem ry c. Scott, very worthy and highly esteem ed young man, was crushed beneath the broken cars, and so seriously injured, that he only sur vived about three hours He leaves a young wife to lament his loss, and we understand that the news of the disaster caused immediate pros tration, and she is not expected to live. Such a complete wreck of cars iswe believe, seldom seen, as attended this catastrophe. A confused mass of broken trucks and cars, with their cargoes of ffieght were heaped upon each other, and portions scattered iu direction, while one car and nearly all of another, were so com pletely demolished, that it could hardly be told what the original once was, The train was en- deavoriny to break up, which process occasions mach jarring, and had it retained its customary speed this calamity would doubtless have been averted--bat, perhaps, to be followed by one more fatal and fearful in its consequences. A coroners inquest was held, and after lis tcning to testimony, the Jury returned the fol- lowing unanimous verdict
 The deceased, Henry c Scott, came to his death by an accident at Derby Narrows, in the breaking down of bridge of the Naugatuck Railroad Compa- ny, and we agree that said accident was caused by cutpdbe and mcacusadLe negligence of the officers o the Naugatuck Railroad Company in not having with due care examined and repaired the wood work of the bridge at Derby Narrows, the Jury finding upon examination, that some of the timbers of the bridge broken through arc very rotten and in other DOT tions of the same bridge many tmbcrs that are not soand and that the structure generally is unsafe

PHILIP T. HERBEKr, Member of Congress from California, was tried last week in Wash ington, for the murder of Heating, the Irish waiter, at Wiard's Hotel. Hon. Truman Smith was engaged as counsel flor the prose cution, by the widow of Keating. The trial was little better than farce, the Court and the Attorney for the Government, evidently meaning to secure his aequittal. One or two of the Jury, however, obstinatcly refused their assent to such verdict, and a new trial has been ordered The San Francisco Buhetin, received by the last steamer, asserts that Her bert is the representative of tho rowdy and gambling interests" the Bowie-knife and re- volver fraternity" of California that he was never known to be without arms when at home that his antecedents, in short, are of the worst knd," and that murder is in perfect keeping with his past history and present char acter." It also says that number of documents from Washington arrived at the post office by the last mail, addressed to Ned Gowan, Billy Magan, Charley Duane and James P. Casey They were franked by Hon. F. T. Herbert. As these notorious villains have been banishcd from California. the question is, where shall they be sent to3 The fact of an assassin there corresponding with assassins and their associates here, speaks volumcs."

The Nominations.

So far as We are able to judge from the tone of our exchanges, the nomination of FREMONT and DAYTON meets with enthusiastic ap- prosal, and every indication is favorable to the success of the Republican ticket. From every quarter of the North do echoes come thunder ing in our ears: FREE SPEECH, FREE TERRrro- RES, FREE MEN, and FREMONT. Ratification meetings have been held in all the larger cities and spirited, enthusiastic meetings con- posed of men of all parties, who are willing to unite all their strength for the overthrow of vile. imbecile, tyrannical slase-helding admin istration.
 One of the most notable and encouraging signs of the times, is the vast number of Dem ocrats who are renouncing their allegiance to Douglas and Pierce, and the Slave oligarchy, and giving their support to Freedom and Ere mont. Their name is legion and it is this assertion of friends in this particular juncture, when hope is giving way to despair, that so en- rages the leaders of the Slaye-Democracy. They have become perfectly frantic-they quiv- CT with rage and malice. They have the heart to act out the suggestions of the Richmond Enquirer, to hang or put in the penitentary such wretches as Summer and his friends" bat they are withheld by the demonstrations eve rywhere beheld, of the uprising ofthe masses to redress their wrongs and vindicate their rights. The PEOPLE are awake to their real danger they begin to see the shameless perfd;ty of those who would betray their dearest interests and rob them of the most precious legacy ever hcqueathed to man. In their majesty and might will they arise and sweep these usurpers from the high places which they detile,

THE LOST ArIANrlc.-The account given of the finding of beautiful women and chiltren on the deck of the lost steamer Atlantic on Lake Erie by the submarine diver was purely d fancy sketch. No bodies were discovered. in fact nothing could be seen at that depth. l6O feet and the diver was obliged to iiid things by feeling He descended some twenty times, remaining under water from three to eleven minutes each time, and knowing the position of the safe of the American express company, succeeded in reaching it, attaching a rope to one of its handles and breaking through the side of the cabin so as to get it out. At the end of three days labor, the safe was brought to the surface of the water and on being opened, contained 5000 in gold and $3l ,0OO in bills, small portion of which were useless from the action of water and insolvency of banks, six watches, two of which were yaua- ble gold, and papers for which the American express company paid a handsome salvage
 The company of divers, four in number, made about $2,500 apiece by the opcrat;on and the express company saved considerable amount. The bank notes were scarcely defaced at all by the action of the water to which they had been exposed for four years, but a corsid, rablc number were destroyed by careless handling be- fore they were dried. The diver experienced no inconvenience except when by staying under water too long, there was a rush ot blood to his head, making him see stars"

TIE GERMAN PRESS lN THE UNITED
 STATEs.-The number and influence of the purely German papers in this country will sur. prise those who have given no attention to the subject. A full list is furnished by one of the number, and it foots up 34 daies and T6 weckIies, or q total of ll3. Of these l7 are printed in New York, 2S in Pennsylvania. l9 in Ohio, in Missouri, Q in Illinois, 10 in Wis consin, in Iowa, Indiana, Maryland and
 Texas each, in California, Virginia and Lou
 siana each, and ill New Jersey, South Car. olina, Minnesota and the District of Columbia each. In the slave States arc IS, in the frco g5 Of those in the free States, 49 (l5 dai- lies and 34 wet klics) support Fremont for President, and 45 (10 dailits and 35 wet klics) Buchanan in the slave States support Ere. mont and l2 Buchanan. The last comparison shows that greater proportion of the Ger. mans of the slave States sustain the side of freedom, than of the rest of the white ponu- lation. This is natural, for the Germans are all free laborers, and are interested in their comparative responsibility and power as such. The votes represented in the aggregate by these ll3 German papers have never been properly estimated, perhaps cannot be, but they must be very great in number They must equal if they do not exceed indeed the purely Irish vote. The German vote is an el. ement in our elections which We know little of iu New England, but it is an important mat. ter in the Middle and Western States. Its tendencies are now all towards the Fremont and Freedom ticket sa1-

Elm Park Collegiate Institute.

Under this name we are soon to have estab- lished a boarding and day School by Rev. James Richards, D. D. The "Beecher place" in North street has been purchased by Dr. k. and repairs are in progress which will render it one of the most desirable locations in New Eng land for such an institution. Of the qualiica- tions Of the principal as guardian and iustruc- tor, We can chcerfully testify that we have never met with gentleman better qualified to gain the confidence, guard the character, train the mind and impart instruction to youth The high encomums bestowed on his abilities while teaching elsewhere and the success which attended his efforts, are the best warrants that he will lend a strong arm in rcviving the ltcra- " fame of old Litchfeld. As Dr. Richards ill- tends to make teaching his profession and his Institute here permanent affair, and as every School of the kind that is put in successful oper. alton is an addition to the place, we sincerely hope he may at once receive the liberal support to which he is entitled by his rare attachments.
 Our natural modesty forbds the thought of taking to ourselves any credit for this reviving of the educational sprit--but it will be acknowl- edged a coincidence that after presenting some homc!y truths last winter and bringing the resi-. dents of our village to realizing scuse of what LitchGeld had heen, what it then was, and what it might be--there were ill six months time established, on solid foundation and as permanent institutions, three boarding schools capable of accommodating between onc and two hundred pupils.

DISTINGUISHED ARRIvALs.--At least dog. en of the most notorious characters in San
 Francisco, driven out by the Vigilance Com. Inittce, arrived at New York in the Orizabo.

The Alta Californian says, that " by the trans. portation of twenty.seyen men, San Francisco IS at once robbed of probably 5000 votes. for they were all good for a hundred each.

DR. BEEcHEn-The papers give an interest ing report of Dr. Beecher's visit to Lane Sem- mary on the occasion of the late Anniversary. Tue meeting of the good Doctor with the Alumni present, who had passed under his instruction during the many years of his con- nection with the Seminary, must have been one Of deep interest. Rev. Daniel Rice it is stated, addressed the venerable divine in behalf of the Alumni, in feeling and appropriate manner. It is then added; Dr. Beccher made happy response, relating many incidents of his life in connection with the Seminary, and his settle ment at Litchield and at Boston. He con- cludcd, in characteristic strain of encour- agement and assurance, by saying to the Alumni, "Go on God be with you And if you hold on, and others don't whip up, you will be the candle that will introduce the Mil lennium to the world.'
