A ISLANDER NAILED.-The Washington
Union, not long since, published the arti-
Gle asserting that just previous to the cleo
ton, Col. Fremont remained several days
in Philadelphia, in the house of Isaac R.
.Davis-that he had several interviews with
Mr.. Isaac Newton, candidate for electol
on the Fillmore ticket, and that during
these interviews Col. Fremont made use Of
the strongest personal appeals and the mos,
dishonorable propositions with the view Of
seducing Mr.. Newton into his support
The Union was very specific in its details
and for the truth Of its statements referred
to Mr.. Newton himself.
Mr.. Newton, in his reply to this appeal
writes as follows:
81 have never seen Col. Fremont since
last January. saw him then in compa'
ny with Isaac R. Davis, al my store in Phil
adelphia, by whom / was introduced tc
him. But l did not then, nor have / evel
exchanged a word, or had any communica
ton with Col Fremont, on political sub
jects. Very respectfully, &c,
ISAAC NRwToN."

Another HorrOr-.Ten Lives
IxM~f

By dispatch in our teleprapic columns
this morning, it will be seen that terrible
railroad collision took place last evening at
the crossing of the Cleveland and Pittburg,
and Ohio and Pennsylvania Railroads, at
Alliance.
By information derived from the passen-
gers who came from Alliance last night, we
gather the following particulars:
The two railroads cross each other at
that point, and in an acute angle formed by
their crossing, stands the railroad station
and eating house. The time for the arri-
val ofthe train going west on the o. & P.
road is twenty minutes earlier than that of
the Pittsburg train, most of which is given
to passengers for supper. The passengers
had Just returned to the train which was
moving away from the station, when the
train from Wellsville came up, running, it
is stated, at about twenty miles per hour,
and struck the two hindermost ears. The
force of the collision threw the locomotive
and tender of the Pittsburg train from the
track, while all of the passenger cars re-
manned upon it, and in spite of the shock,
passed on the entire length of the train,
consisting Of one baggage, and three pas
senger cars, before stopping. Conductor
Clelland, of the Wellsyille train, was Just
at the car door when the collision took
place, and was somewhat bruised upon the
cheek and right side. Our informant was
sitting in the middle of the hindmost car,
near the stove upon which he was thrown
by the force of the collision, while lady
who sat by his side was thrown half way
down the aisle. Other passengers were
more or less bruised upon the Wellsville
(Clelland's) train, bet no one killed. But
upon the other train, and about the plat
form a siekening sight presented ITSELF
The hindermost car of this train was
thrown by the force of the blow, quite
through the walls of the station house into
the dining hall. Several persons were kill
ed upon the platform, and in the two cars
which were struck. A Mr.. Smith, af Alli-
ance, and his wife had just arrived by this
train, and were standing upon the platform
when this car struck them. killing both in
stantly, the head ofthe woman being entire
ly broken in pieces. We did not learn
that any other lady was killed.
There were very few persons seriously
injured among the survivors. The scene
was one horrible in the extreme, and which
to even detail caused the surviving passen-
gers to shudder. The passengers from
Wellsville came into Cleveland about mid
night, on the train which left here for AL
lance in the afternoon, and arrived there
shortly after the accident had taken place.
We abstain from comment until the
facts are more fully obtained. A horrible
sacrifice of human life has been made un-
der circumstances which give evidence of
criminal carelessnes Uere-

River Intelligence.

The Ohio, at this point, continues to rise
steadily, and has risen altogether, at this
place, two feet and halt. Licking river
was rising rapidly yesterday, and steamers
from above report, Big Sandy, Guyan, and
little Mama running out finely The Lou
isville Journal learns that there has been
. rise of ten feet at the coal mines of the
Kentucky river. Boats from the lower
Ohio report six feet water on Flint Island
bar, and river rising fast.
RIVER AT WHEELINe.-The Wheeling
Times of Monday says:
Yesterday eve there was about four feet
In the channel Of the Ohio, and it is now at
higher stage than it has been for a long
time. A heavy rain fell during the whole
Of Friday evening, and we had an occasion
al sprinkle on Saturday. At the close Of
the day the weather looked favorable for a
continuance. A rise of eight or ten feet is
a "6xed fact" and steamboat men have
commenced their preparatory brush up in
earnest. fFfff ftff
The steamer Belmont when approaching
the city, below the bridge on Saturday
morning, was thrown partly on the shore
by the violent wind which prevailed. II
took several hours to set her 10 RIGHTS again
She sustained no damage.
Dispatches from Nashville report the
Cumberland river still rising, with twelve
feet water on the shoals.
The Nashville Banner, of Saturday, says
The eyes of the boatmen frightened yes

Cumberland, which started down on tn
night previous. At P. M. yesterday,

A NEW misunderstanding to the Bos-
ton Transcript, venerable and distin-
guished professor of theology iu Yale Col
ledge, is about to issue a work that will
cause some excitement, in the religious
world. 1t is entitled "Yaveh Christ; or,
the memorial Name" The Transcript
says:
The main object of the author is to show
that the world has hitherto labored under
a profound mistake respecting tn e Hebrew
word given as "Jehovah" in the old testi-
ment, He undertakes to prove that it was
not "Jehovah," but "Yaveh;" that it does
not mean '1 am" but "He who will be-
in short that the "Jehovah," of the Old
Testament and the "Christ" of the New
denote one and the same being. The point
is argued with great ingenuity, force and
eloquence, on both philosophical and his
torical grounds.

The KANSAS LAND SALEs.-A Chica.
go paper has intelligence from the grea'
land sales at Fort Leavenworth, to the Is!
instant. The writer saws:
Several persons obtained, two three, o,
nine quarter sections, either taking the LAND
in their own name or the names of others
The department. at Washington issued in
structions against such fancy claims, but
Mr.. Eddy, the Special Commissioner, avail.
ed himself of no means to detect them
Quarter sections were on Monday bid of
by persons as settlers at the valuation price,
who gave their resedencs as "Clay county
or "Platte county, Missouri" To this, Mr.
Eddy made no objections. How man
can be settler of Jefferson county, Kan
sas Territory, and still be resident Of Clay
county, Missouri, must be left to Mr.. Eddy
to determine.
