to the plans and intentions of the combination in the
House OF Representatives against the passage of the
Kansas bill, indicate that direct or indirect votes
thereon will be taken Immediately upon its recep.
uon there: One correspondent asserts that the
House will act speedily, without debate" Kansas
mas certainly been sufficiently discussed in Congress,
ana we know of no reason why the question should
not De disposed of speedily. We notice these warn
mgs IN order to impress upon the friends of the ad.
mission of Kansas that every vote is important and
that there is not much difference between an alb
sence at the critical time and actual against
The bill. The preliminary motions that may be made
are of nearly as much importance as the final vote
on the main question. In full House its passage
is certain. Should the opposition at any time dis
cover that they have majority of those present. the
opportunity will doubtless be embraced to make a
summary disposition of the BILL 80
In the Louisiana Senate, on the 18th inst the bill
authorizing the importation of $500 free black zap

ACCIDENT AND Loss OF PROPERTY ON TIE SEA-

following account Of the recent aecdent,on the Sen

Of our merchants are sufferers BY the sceident.-
This catastrophe is much to be regretted though
lives were lost for the loss will be serious one to
the company: ss4-.-.s-.s,
"A terrible accident, resulting in the loss of 10
cars loaded with goods merchandise, &C., and the
bridge across Smiths Creek, on the Seaboard and
Roanoke Railroad. one mile above Suffolk, occurred
day, wednesday, ~.
The regular freight train left Portsmouth at 10
o'clock, A. NJ, in charge of the regular engineer,
Mr.. Carr, and Conductor Lassiter. There were "a
cars besides the passenger car, % of which were
hed with freight, one empty and one fat car loaded
with ron. The train left Suffolk about half past 10
O'Clock. NJ, and when the bridge crossing
Smiths Greek, one of the cars off, Gas could be
seen afterward0 and ran $50 yards before striking
the bridge; when it struck the bridge it broke in,
and precpittated Is cars down in the creek, dis
lance of about forty feet. The engine, tender and
one freight car had reached the opposite embank-
ment and six cars. including the passenger car.
were left in the rear. .,..'... ,.,..
Fortunately no lives were lost or was any person
injured. There was in the passenger Car with Capt.
Lassiter, Mr.. Blanchard lady and child. Though
frightened they were not injured The fifteen cars
smashed all loaded with freight for the Raleigh
and CASTOR Road. The way freight was all saved,
and one of through freight. The way bill for the
through freight had been sent by the express in
the morning, and we had no means of ascertaining
the amount but Capt Lassiter thinks it would reach
500 900 worth. No blame can be attached to Capt.
Lassiter, or the engineer Mr.. Carr; the train was
going very slow-only at the rate of six miles an
hour, and the car that off being about midway
of the train, neither the engineer conductor could
know it until the breaking in.
We arrived at the spot about 20 minutes after the
occurrence; about 100 feet of the bridge is broken
down, and the cars and contents are worse smashed
up than we have ever SEEM Whiskey, sugar, coffee,
molasses, boots, Shoes ladies' dress good, bonnets
and ribbons, all mashed up together in one general
medley"
