Drea dful Accident on the Illinois Central
Railroad.

We learn ffom gentleman who ar
rived Yesterday from La Sale that
frightful accident occurred on Thursday
morning on the Illinois Central Railroad,
near La Sale. The particulars are as
follows
About o'clock in the morning, the
gravel train, loaded with laborers, who
worked along the line, started from La
Sale southwark. The train crossed
the bridge all right, and as the engine
came on the embankment on the other
side of the bridge, it all at once gave
way, and the whole train was precipita-
ted distance of probably twenty-five
feet. Four men were killed on the
spot, and one died few hours after
forwards. Eight others were severely
injured, some with broken legs, arms,
&c. The engineer and fireman escaped
with their lives, though somewhat injur-
ed. The marvel is that so many escaped.
The heavy rains of last Sunday, along
with the general thaw that enSucd, had
so softcned the embankment, that it mp
peared as soft and as incapable Of bear
ing up train as the softest kind of mud.
When the engine came of the bridge,
it seemed as if it had fallen over preci-
piee.
But disastrous as the occurrence has
proven, it seems proyidcntial that it is
not much more fatal. The passenger
train that ought to have passed over the
road at that point on Wednesday night,
! by some trivial accident was DELAYED.
and did mot arrive at the fatal spot till
after the gravel train was wrecked. As
it was loaded with passengers, boxed
up in close cars, the sacrifice of life thai
would have attended its attempt to cross
must have been much larger.
/. Our informant did not learn the names
of the dead and injured. They We're all
Irishmen at work on the road, and prob
ably all have families. Chicago Press

Gov. Geary ard Kansas.

The New York Courier and Enquj-
rer remarks as follows in relation to the
account given by Gov. Geary, on his
return to St. Louis, in relation to mat
tiers in Kansas.
! What will the smooth spoken optim-
lists, who have all the while been hold
| ing out that there is no need of making
fuss about Kansas, it being sure to be
a Free State, say to Governor Geary,
/ who declares that the establishment of a
slavery constitution is inevitable? What
have the pitiful witlings, who have been
accustomed, III their poor way, to sheer
about "bleeding Kansas" to say to Gov
ernor Geary, who AYERS in relation to
the outrages committed by the Pro
Slavery men, that onc-half has rot vet
been told! What have the quetists,
who have been apologizing for the bor-
der-ruitians and preaching forbearence
towards them, to say to Gov. Geary,
who asseverates that from the time he
entered the Territory, fifty men were un-
der oath, to assassinate him unless he
governed according to their will? The
reason assigned by Gov Geary for his
resignation, ought to make this whole
tribe ashamed 20 show themselves in
the light. In view of the truth, as he
now presents it, the only wonder is thai
human nature has been able to endure
such system Of yillainy as has been
practiced upon the Free State men of
Kansas, without exterminajinn its au-
thors from the face OF the earth. viii
any Northern man say that Gov. Geary
has not gone sufficiently far in his ef.
forts to propltlate the border ruffians?-
Did he not slgnalize the commencement
OF his administration by stopping, DELAY
ing, and harraSsing the free state emf
grants at the northern borders, who.
driven from the Missouri river, had been
forced to take the tedious and toilsome
pilgrimage through Iowa? Has he not
refused to pardon the Hickory Point
prisoners, SO UNANIMOUSLY found guilty
by Lecompte and his creatures in the
Ijury-box, for taking up arms in defence
OF themselves and their families against
border rutfian invaders? Did he not
recognize the spurious pro-Slayery Leg
isiature which has just adjourned at Lee
comton, elected without law, and eclip-
sing even the first Shawnee Mission set
OF usurperS, in the abomnaible character
of It's enactments? Gov. Geary has
SACRIFICED thousand times more than he
ought 10 have done to buy his peace
with the ultra pro-slavery party, and vet
because he has refused to surrender
every thing - their unlimited control,
and has eAerted himself to preserve
some degree of order, and some sem
blanee or Justice, he has been spit upon
and spurned, and driven from the terri
tory III the fear OF his life. More com
plant than Gov. Rceder, he vet shares
the same fate.

THE BERGEN TUNNEL.-This mag
nifcent work, now in construction by
the Long Dock Company for the New
York and Erie Railroad, will be, when
completed, the largest work Of the kind
in the United States, with the single ex-
ception of the Hoosac Mountain Tunnel.
1t is intended to connect the Long Dock
in Jersey City with the depot of its Erie
Railroad at Bergen, thus obviating the
necessity for the trains Of the latter road
to run over the track Of the New Jersey
Railroad.
About 14oo men are employed, day
and night, on this tunnel, which will be
about 1900 feet in length, and runs in a
due East West direction through sol
id mass of Graywacke, rock harder
than Granite. The height fromthc grade
to the roof is twenty-five feet, and the
width twenty-eight feet, which is suffi
cient to admit the laying Of double
track.

1t is already known to our readers that
the negotiations for consolidation of
the Kenosha interest in this Road with
the Rockford interest, have been finally
closed, the terms agreed upon, and the
question of consolidation unanimously
acceded to by the stockholders. In
pursuance of this decision of the stock
holders, the articles have been signed,
sealed ana delivered in due form of law,
and the line from Rockford to Kenosha
| is now a combined interest. We con-
graduate our citizens upon this ausplc-
ious result, and upon the prospect OF the
speedy completion oftheRoad, which IS
The terms upon which the consolidation
has been effected are as near an equality
for both companies as it was possible to
make them. The Machine shops of the
consolidated company are located at
Rockford, and the general offices in Ke-
nosha. On the first Monday of October
next meeting of the stockholders OF
the entire line is to be held at the Court
House in Kenosha for the election OF
seventeen Directors, which will consti-
tute the Board of the consolidated Com
lpany. Until that time the work is to be
prosecuted with the utmost vigor at each
end of the line, by the existing officers.
/ During the past week the contract
rom Rockford to Harvard, the point OF
intersection with the Chicago, St. Paul
and Fond du Lac Railroad, q miles,
has been let upon the most favorable
terms to Messrs Field, Gaggin 81 Walk
err, st. Louis firm OF established repu-
tation, wao have been extensively en-
gagged in Railroad building in this State
and Missouri. They have a reputation
of the highest character as men OF re
sponsibility and energy in prosecuting
the various works they have undertaken.
They are to complete the road ready for
the iron by October next, to accomplish
which they propose to sub-let 1t in short
sections Of one mile or more i'll length,
and as will be seen by our advertising
columns invite proposals for contracts.
! We shall expect to hear in a few weeks
the merry sound of the spade and pick
along the line The other end OF the
line is also to be hurried forward TO form
an intersection, and it is not anticipating
TOO much that i'll one year we shall be
able to shake hands with Kenosha and
new union be formed between Lake
Michigan and the Rock River Valley
by the ever stretching iron rail. Speed
the ''good time coming"
| AS to the future success Of the road,
or its influence upon the prosperity OF
our city there can be no reasonable
doubt. Not Rockford alone is interest
ed in its construction, but the people
and towns through the whole Valley be-
low us; and its continuation down the
River is a necessary consequence and
fixed fact.
Much credit is due to the Kcnosha
people and officers Of their road for the
energy they have displayed in pushing
forward their enterprise in the face OF
the numerous obstacles which have in
terposed to discourage and Illustrate
their designs, and we congratulate them
that at last they are tout Of the woods,''
and railroad project on a safe t0uliid-
alton.

Gov. KING AND RAILROAD PAssEs.-
The Albany correspondent of the Ere
ming Post mentions an incident to illus
trate the high-minded and independent
course which Gov. King pmsues even in
small matters: He received from the
President of the Hudson River Railroad
a free pass over the road. Such has al
ways been 5he custom, but Gov. King
returned the pass, with a polite note, ac-
llnowledging the attention, but declining
to receive the ticket upon the ground
that no member of the government, to
whose hands is confined the discharge
of delicate and important duties, ought
to rest under any of the many little OBJ
legations which may affect the judgment

The New Administration.

Whatever hope or expectation TIE

when they We're electioneering and vo-
ting for Mr.. Buchanan, that he would
administer the government on just and
free principles, is evidently doomed to
be blasted. All of his appointments.
thus far, where there was any chance to
discriminate between Freedom and Sla-
very have been altogether in favor of the
latter. The most ultra slavery propa-
gandists and sjmpathizers with Kansas
border ruffianism, have been appointed
to offices, where national and impartial
feeling andiudgmentwouldhave suggest
ed the appointment of northern men, at
least imbued with northern sympathies'
Take, for instance, the Goyernship OF
Kansas. 1t is known and universally
conceded that settlers from the North
ern States form large proportion Of the
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. three-fourths of the
bona-ide settlers-and yet Mr.. Buchan-
an goes all the way to the State of Mis-.
sissippi to findaman ofsuficiently strong
Slavery proclivities to satisfy his south
ern task masters, to govern that already
mserabiy mis-goyerned Territory. Oh
| the same character have been the minor
appointments that have been made fol-
the Territory. From these indications
| it seems plain, that the New administra
ton is to be distinguished, ike its pre-
decessor, for trucking subserviency tc
