About o'clock in the morning the gravel

ed ON the spot. and one died few hours after

some with broken legs, nrms. &n. The engineer
md fireman escaped with their lives, though
somewhat injured. The marvel is that SO many
escaped.
The heavy rains of last sunday, along with the
general haw that onsucd, had so scftened the
embaukment that ii appeared a5 sot and rs in
capable of hearing up tain as the softest kind
of mud. Whenever the engine came off the
bridge it seemed us if it had fallen over preci-

But disastrous the occurrence has proven

Old Line wings and the Admins
tratiOn.

The Maysville Express very sensibly
responds to the groundless aud ungener-
Gus charge of certain Know-nothing
papers that the old line Wings recently
cooperating with the Democracy, are
the most rapacious and importunate Of
flee beggars with whom the federal capt.
tai is infested, and that disposition has
beer evinced by the Administration to
distrust the fidelity of their allies. 1.-The
old line Wings" says the Express, so
far from being rapacious or importunatc
seekers after official patronage, are not
applicants for office at all. We have not
heard of single old line Wing making
application for office, nor do we believe
one single such application has been
made. On the other hand, the Admin
istration and the Democratic party of the
country has, we know, entire confidence
in the honesty, fidelity and integrity of
the old line Wings, and that confidence
has been expressed in the tender of the
only foreign mission yet vacant, to ads
tinguished and worthy old line Wing,
Jas. b. Clay, Esq, while another, Philip
Clayton, Esq, one Of Mr. Fillmore's APP
pointees, has been advanced to the hon
orable and important post of Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury. So also has
the Hon. Wm. b. Reed been appointed
to the Chinese mission.
in tne eyes of the Administration there
is no difference between the old line
Wings who voted for Mr.. Buchanan and
the Democratic party proper; and there
should be none. Both rallied around
the Constitution in the moment of its
greatest peril; both defended it firmly,
faithfully and periodically, and to both
is due the credit of its preservation un-
impaired by the fanatical assaults made
upon it. Hereafter their interests are
IDENTICAL and their feelings and wishes
harmonious and the only effects of these
unworthy charges and insinuations will
be to bind closer together those now
united by the strongest ties patriotism
They should be one in name, as they
are in principle. The Wing party no
longer exists.
