SERIOUS ACCIDENT AT MOUNT HoLYoKE.-
Recently access to the house at the summit Of
Mount Holyoke has been greatly facilitated by
the construction Of wooden railway, upon which
an old seigh-box, mounted upon wheels, was
made to ascend and descend by means Of sta
tionary steam engine at the top. The distance is
one thousand feet. 1t was thought that ade
quate provision had been made against all posi-
BILE danger, but we learn from the Boston AdUer-
tiser that an accident of a serious nature occur
red on Monday Of last week. As party of ladies
and gentlemen were riding down, the hind wheels
of the Car were thrown from the track, and the
party spilled out upon a rock. Miss Harriet,
aged eighteen years, daughter OF Bryant Chaplin
Of Springfield, fell headlong down a considerable
declivity, striking alternately on her head and
feet.
The Others Of the party were able to save
themselves in some way, so that only Miss Cha
pin was seriously hurt. She was removed to the
house at the top of the mountain, where she now
remains, with some prospect Of her ultimate re-
coyery. The inclination Of the plain upon which
the track is built is sixty to seventy degrees, and
it is mass Of loose rocks. How any human be-
ings could be pitched from the car down such an
inclination, and escape with their lives, is a
marvel.

SOUTHERN PoLTIcs.-The Washington cor
respondent Of the New York Herald states tina
Hon. VIM. L. Yancey, of Alabama, hsa written
for publication letter, in which he charges Mr..
Pryor, editor Of the Richmond South, with having
betrayed the Southern disunion party, and viola
Ell certain conditions with regard to the pfopos-
ed disunion.' 1t appears that Disunion League
was formed, Of which Mr.. Pryor was a member.
The understanding was that the League should
appoint a commission to negotiate certain ar
engagements with England, in the way of pro-
tectorate, free trade, ETC.. and after the perfect
ing Of these arrangements, disunion was imme-
diately to follow. The part assigned in the pro,
gramme to Mr.. Pryor was to make at first hy-
pocrltical show of preference for the North, and,
sitter little lodging, to carry Virginia in favor
Of the disunion project.

ANoTAER SUBMARINE CABLE RouTE.-A
writer IN the National Intettigeneer recon.
mends the connection of bermuda with Fayal
as the main part of the route for another
Atlantic Telegraph. He thus states the ad.
vantages of the route:
''lhe distance from Bermuda to Fayal ia
less than from Ireland to Newfoundland.
These islands are invitingy off the coasts of
Europ@And America. Tney stand as hercu-
lean pillars to which to rest the cable. II a
wire was laid between them, shorter ones
could be carried to the shores of the Old and
New World. One wire between these islands
would serve all practical purposes for a long
time to come. The route by Fayal would
accommodate England with one wire, France
with one wire, Spain and Portugal with one,
and Madeira and Africa with one. On our
side, the Bermuda route would be convenient
for one wire to New England, one for the
Middle States and the West, and one for the
Southern States and California, one for Cuba
aud Mexico, and one for the West Indies
and South America. In time of war, with
the batteries on these islands, we could all
depend upon the main trunk or big gun pluc-
ed between them, aud find available some Of
the small arms pointed at so many nations. ="

ing, as it should have been, to witness the inim-
liable performances Of Mr.. Towards company.
The elegant comedy of "The Youthful King

terminating with the laughabe farce of "Box and

The septemher EIcc,ious.


Elections are to be held the present month in
California, Vermont; and Maine--in the first tv Q
on the 7th. and in the latter on the 18th. Mem
bers of Congress are to be chosen in all of them,
two in California, three in Vermont, and six in
Maine. In California, at latest accounts the
Democrats were about equally divided between
the administr alton and Douglas wings, two sep.
arate State conventions being in session at Sa-
cramento, the latter under the lead of Senator
BroderIck. There was also talk of union of
the Douglas with the Republican forces, should
which be done the administration could not es-
cape disastrous defeat
In Vermont and Maine, which choose mem
bers Of the Legislature and State officers, well
as members of Congress, there can be no ques-
ton as to the triumph of the Republicans, by as
large majority last year, although we may
possibly lose member Of Congress in Maine, in
the 9th District, now represented by S. G. Fos
ter, the only doubtful one, but those best posted
have confidence in Mr.. Fosters re election.
The election in Maine is of double importance
this year, as the Legislature about to be chosen
is to elect United States Senator, the term of
William P. Fessenden expiring next March. His
reelection is due alike to his talents and past
distinguished services In the cause of freedom.

PoLITIoAL.-The Gloucester Telegraph (Amer-
ican), in view of the public and private with.
drawal of several names from the call for the
American State Convention, and the use of 9th
ers which it knows to be unauthorized, thinks
that "some explanation is due to the Americans
outside of the city Of Boston for this course of
proceeding" 1t says further:
s'We should like to know when and where this
Executive Committee chosen, and from
what they derived their authority Why were
the names OF individuals placed TO the call who
positively refused to allow it to be done, and of
Others who were opposed to such a call and were
not present atsthe meeting from which it
sta ted to emanate If the call was got up to
strengthen the Americans in the Boston Con-
gressional Districts, let it be so understood; but
if it was intended to deceive and dupe the honest
pc ople who have acted with the American party,
let the deception be exposed at once"

The INDIANS AT WAsgINGToN TBRR1roRY.
: Gov. McMullin, of Washington Territory,
has arrived at Washington. He represents
that when he left the Territory, month ago,
the Indians west of the Cascade Mountains
were disposed TO be friendly, but fears were
entertained that they might be influenced by
those residing east of the Mountains who de-
feated Col. Steptoe.
A vigorous campaign against them and Sc
we're chasllsements will, however, probably
have az effect in producing a general peace
among the savsges, who must sensibly feel
the power Of the government. He says In
dams from the British and Russian posses .
SONS, who are extremely formidable and
shrewd, are in the habit of plunderiug and
killing the settlers in the most exposed por-
tons of the Territory.

they may begin to be beaten in North Caro-
