Tho Accident ON the Lehiah Valley Rail
rOQd.

Tho Accident on Inc Acui8n vdAiCJ hAus
road.
EAsToN, Aug 27.-The man killed by the acct.
dent here was q fireman named George Howe, OF
Waterbury, Conn.
John Geary, the engineer, is supposed to be ia
tally injured.
The bridge was constructed of light timbers,
in the usual form, with an arch on each side, and
persons had been employed yesterday in keying
it up and had only partially finished the work.
The whole weight was on few bars, which
The weight of the engines was about ninety
tons
The engines had just crossed the bridge on the
lower track, and were returning to Philipsburg on
the upper track, one pushing the other, when just
as the head one had reached the abutment on the
Jersey side the span gave way, carrying the en-
CINE and tender into the canal below, and leaving
the other hanging on the timbers q third of the
way down. The track of the Belvidsre road
passes at this point on q bridge, some thirty feet
below, and part of this bridge was carried away.
The accident occurred at fifteen minutes before
seven o'clock, at the exact time the Philadelphia
train was due at that point but fortunately it was
five minutes behind time. BY this accident the
connection of the Lehigh Valley and New Jersey
roads is interrupted, and there will be stoppags
of the coal trade to New York until the bridge is
repaired, which will require several month"; The
Morris Canal will also be Uninterrupted for week or
ten days but the connection of the Belvidere road
on the lower track, 10 uninterrupted.

American Meeting in Sewer.
Yours, very sincerely,
HUMPHREY MARSHALL.
Hon. +. BARTLETT.

.Hcssr. Eter d; Mwlcy-
Our little band of Americans met at
the Courthouse in this place to-day
for the purp1se % appointing Sub
Elector ior this county. On motion of
DIR. Lowry, Hon. \. I. PETrUs was call
ed to the Chair In few words he ex-
planned the object of the meeting. JNo
i. TURRENTINE Was appointed Secretary.
On motion of DIR. Lowry, DIR. WM. SIssEL
was unanimously selected as the choice OF
the American party of Sewer as Sub
Elector. Alter which DR.. Lowry not on
Iy paid DIR. Sissel very handsome compli-
ment, but extended his remarks in very
effective and forcible speech of three quar-
ters OF an hour in length, in which he
proved that Democratic pledges were a
perfect farce, as shown by the failure of
.Ir. Pierce in supporting the Compromise
Measures of 1859, to which not only he
but the whole Democratic party were
pledged, forming as it did the main plank
IN the Democratic platform of lS52.-
Tht the Compromise Measures formed
the main issue in '52, no one will pretend
to deny; and that Franklin Pierce and
the Administration party have proved
fiithless and recreant to the principles
contained In these measures, is equally
true. Then, where is our reliance /?
DIR, Lowry gave it as his opinion that our
little band of Americans in Sewer, be
tiey few Or many in number, would not
say that it was upon James Buchanan,
but on the contrary upon Millard Fillmore,
the man who goes for his country, his
whole country, and nothing but his coun-
try.
After Dr. Lowry concluded his remarks
on motion committee of three was ap-
pointed by the Chairman to correspond
with and inform Dr. Sissel of his appoint
ment, viz: John T. Turrentine, Francis
Hopkins, and Thomas Williamson.
On .urther motion, the meeting aiourn.
ed to meet again soon and organize a Fill
more Club.

Something to Think Over.

We take the following paragraph from
letter written to the Memphis INorn.ny
Bulletin. 1t * unnecessary for US to add
anything- 1t will suggest such thoughts
to those interested as will put them ON
their guard. The Free-Soil villainy be-
gins to become fully apparent The wri-
tel, speaking of a camp-mceting, says:
II am disposed to question the propric-
ty OF permitting SD many negroes as were
at that camp-meetlng, assembling togeth-
er for any purpose whatever. There could
not have been less than three or four thou
sand there On Sunday, and they were t.
be seen collected in groups OF from five
or SIX to twenty or thirty, at distances
Ringing from two hundred yards to at least
a nile ,rJm tne tents, and not un requent-
ly Il whIN man with them, with what pur-
pose | know not, but certainly not Il reli
glous one. There Is one thing do know.
however, and that is, that the negroes.
even out here in the country, are much
better pasted up liz the present state o.
political matters than many persons are
aware of. Many Of them are under the
impression that III Fremont is elected they
are free, and vino has put this in their
heads but wnIte men! And where have
they 50 good an opportunity of doing this
as at a caiap-meetlng, Where the slave, for
the time being, Is as free as his master,
ana white men have I'll the chances to
talnper with them
