lion as to the course Of Mr.. Buchanans ad-
mnistration, as it will be controlled by the
South, but public opinion has advanced SO
much upon the question that new Democra-
tic administration may be forced to take some
action upon the railroad within the succeed
ing Two years.
As for the now American and Republican
parties they never ought to have been doubt
ed upon the ISSUE They were made up most
ly from the old Wing party, and it was al
ways orthodox upon the question Of Internal
Improvement and the Pacific Railroad, North
and South, We did our best to impress this
fact upon the minds Of the people at Califor-
MIA four years ago, but could not succeed. A
majority of them voted for Pierce and the De-
mocracy, and were deceived; they have voted
this year for Buchanan, and will more than
likely be again deceived.
In the campaign which has just closed, tho
Republican leaders and papers in this State
pounced upon the Pacific Railroad as the
most popular Of all measures, in California,
hoping by its aid TO do something handsome
for John G. Fremont in this Pacific Railroad
community. To accomplish this end, they
travelled over the same ground that the Viii
gs did in 1859, and with results still less fa-
vorablc They opened upon the railroad trail
as if the track has been struck for the first
time on the Paci6. But the people believed
their newborn zeal was put on for political
purposes and, consequently, did net take the
railroad into the estimate in making up their
minds TO vote against Fremont And now,
il the Republican were acting in good faith
when they incorporated railroad resolution
into their political platform. those members OF o,
the party elected to the next Congress Will
advocate and vote for railroad bill as ear
nestly and faithfully as they would have done
had Fremont been elected.

The Recon. Massacre in Kentucky.

FURTHER PARTICULARS The telegraph
announced briefly, few days ago. that 4
family of four persons Of the name of Joyce,
living some miles from Louisville, were all
brutally murdered, aud their dwelling, with
their bodies. consumed by FIRE. The fol-
lowing additional particulars We gather from
the Louisville Courier:
The house was the property Of William
Joyce, u young man; who was fortunately
away from home on the night of the murder
to attend wedding. He had, however,
left a brother, Richard Joyce, aged 10, at
the house. to take care Of his property and
the family during his absence. The in
mates of the house We're Mrs. Lydia Joyce,
her son Richard Joyce, young man of 10,
Mrs. WEIGH, her daughter, widow, and
the lattcr's little daughter, a child Of three
years. The oldest son, William Joyce, the
owner of the house, as before stated was
away from home. The house was burnt to
the ground late Thursday night, and the
next morning an investigation led TO the
horrible belief that the entire household had
been murdered The charred remains CT
the two women were found near The fire.
place, while those Of the young man were
lying i'll the place supposed to have been
occupied by the bed
Mr. Vim. Joyce returned to his home to
find il 4 'aass Of snlopldering ruins, and
with the assistance Of the neishbors, insti-
tuted vigorous Investigation Of the prem
ises, aud the cause OF the disaster. Suspi-
eion at once fastened uroa several Of the
negroes in the vicinity, and, on searching
the premises of Mr. Pendleton, c watch,
coat, pants and other things, the property
OF Mr.. Joyce, were found secreted under ne
house. Bill, slave of Mr.. Pendleton, WAS
then arrested, and confessed that he and
three others murdered the family plumber
ed and then fred the house. A this reye-
lation the greatest excitement prevailed,
and lynch law was about to be enforced at
once, but calmer judgment overruied the ac-
ton of the most hasty and the three other
negroes implicated were caught and tied to
stakes to make them confess, which they f.
nally did, and were committed to Jail. They
stated that they went 10 the house about
midnight. broke open the door, and encoun-
tered Richard Joyce, the brother of William.
He was Drained with club in the presence
of his mother and sisier. The aged mother
seized pair of tones TO rush to the defense
of her son, but on the instant was attacked
by the negroes, one of whom knocked her
senseless In club. The daughter, Mrs.
WEIGH atteal pied to escape out Of a window,
but was caught by the iaet, dragged back,
and then beaten to death. The ipfuriated
ruftians then sacked the house, tooa the lit
tie girl of Mrs Welch, threw it upon the
bed, set fire to it and fled, the child being
actually burnt alive.

Collision On the Central Railroad,
We learn from tl,a A,svanar., Sa,t;

We learn from the Alexandra Sentinel
that the up passenger train from Richmond
at ! O'Clock, under Conductor Goocll, and
tic down passenger train from Ssaunton at
six, undor Conductor Swift, came ii, collis-
ioll on the Central Railroad Thursday, a
few minutes after twelve o'clock, about two
miles East Of Gordonsville, near the new
turnout known as Melton's.
The up train was moving very slowly.
The down train, at the rate Of 80 miles an
hour
Both engines were badly wrecked, and
i've passenger aud two mail AMI baggage
cars, were utterly demolished.
FIVE negroes, passengers, were most dam
gerousiy injured, several Of them having
arms and legs broken, aud one of them,
from fracture of the skull, supposed NOR
tally wounded.
Zach train, consisting of three passengers
and two mail cars, was we'll filed with pas
sengers-number in both estimated at be-
tween 250 and 500. Notwithstanding seve-
raj Of the passenger ears, i'll the shock, were
driven into each other some ten or twelve
feet, astonishing to relate, no white p assem-
ger vas seriously injured.
The engineers aud iremen Of both trains
were all, more or less, though not very
materially, bruised and otherwise injured
the engineer Of the up train receiving the
worst injury in spgiugiug from the locomo-
tive an instant before the collision
Doctor Grimes CT Gordonsville, and two
other physicians of the neighborhood whose
names We have hot ascertained, were soon
at tie scene of the disaster, ninistering to
the necessities Of the wounded, who were
subsequently, conveyed to Gogdousville, and
were well cared for.
Engines and bands we're secured, and the
wreck sufficiently removed from the track to
permit two trains, specially made up from
the equipment at Gordonsyille, to leave re-
spectively for Richmond and Charlottesville
at . O'clock, Thursday evening.
