A fearful accident occurred on the Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad about IS miles east of Cumber-
land, on Thursday of last week Some fend
changed the switch, and the engine, tender,
baggage car, and one passenger car Of the east
ward bound train were thrown from the track
down an emhankment some thirty-fve feet
The fireman was killed by the engine rolling
over him. Several persons were injured, but
not dangerously.
The Platte Bridge on the Hlnnibal and st.
Joseph Railroad was 50 burned on the 18th,
that when the train went upon it the whole
structure gave way and preeipitated the train in

several persons were badly injured The loco

speed Of the train had been checked, still the
cape of the passengers and others is almost mi
raculous. The fire was the work of an incen-

1t seems that the organ Of the Administration

Washington Union expresses the opinion that
it is very foolish to return negroes to Africa,

ed visited with remarkable misfortune. The
Collins, which was leading the feet handsomely,
hopelessly capsized when about to seize the first
prize. The J. II. Wade, another fast Cleveland
boat owned by F. ". SLossoN, when making
excellent tine, was.robbed of triumph by an
unforeseen casualty. She was run into by the
Ruby,and thus detained eighteen minutes as the
judges say. She was leading the FellerS when
they passed the upper stake-boat, and was but
one and quarter minute behind the Brady,

The Washington Unions Last on Senator

DouEias-
For the benefit of the Douglas Democracy OF
this corner of the world, we quote single par
agraph from the Washington Union of the 18th
inst.
1t is, indeed, most surprising that there should
be any difference of opinion IN regard 10 the
last years conduct of Mr.. Douglas His pur-
poses are made so transparent, his reereancy so
bold and relentless, his apostacy so complete,
that to question his fidelity to his party is
work of the rankest suPererOgation- There. is,
IN point OF fact, so far as the Democracy are
concerned, no material difference in the posi-
tons Of Douglas, Trumbul and Lincoln. dur.
ing the past year. They were and are, alike
engaged iu opposition to the Democratic or
ganization- They have all traduced and Wilt
hed those Democrats who voted for the Eng
lish bill This is evidently the estimate which
