GOLD EXCITEMENT. The recent
discovery of gold on Frazer river, has
already caused quite an excitement,
and many from the territories and from
California, are Fastening thither with
all possible dispatch. Some or 10, 900
persons are alreadyreported as having
left California for the new diggings,
and the excitement was increasing.
Seven ocean steamers are now running
from San Francisco to Puget's Sound,
beside numerous sailing craft. The
only diggings yet known are at Fort
Hope, some 80 miles from the mouth
of, Frazer River. What this new gold
excitement may amount to remains as
yet to be seen. But little of the pre-
cious metal has as yet made its appear
ance from that quarter. The large
emigration of miners from California is
already being seriously felt and mani
tested in the decrease of deposits at
the mint, and the stoppage of many OF
the quartz mills.

COMMISSIONER TREADwELL.-
the officers of our State Board, none
have exhibited more honesty of pur-
pose, or more zeal and efficiency in his
particular department than S.. B. Tread
well, Commissioner of the Land Office.
Although he found upon entering office,
the books and accounts of his office in
sad confusion, still he has so well ar
ranged and organized the whole of the
large business transacted under his SUI
pervision as to reflect honor on his abil-
ity and to convince all of his fidelity to
the important trust committed to his
charge. We learn that the large in
crease of labor attendant upon the pre-
paration for the sale of the Swamp
Lands has been fully provided for, and
that it has been, and will be in the flu
ture, conducted to the satisfaction CT
all who may be called upon to transact
business through his department.

Railroad Accident.

We learn from the New York Zrib-
W'ae that a terrible accident occurred
on the N. Y. & Erie road on Thursday
evening, the 18th inst, by which six
persons were instantly killed and about
fifty more wounded. The accident
happened to the 81 P. M. New York
express train, which encountered
broken rail in the track, about six miles
east of Port Jervis, at Shin Hallow
Watering Station. The train consisted
of FIVE passenger coaches, engine, ten
der and baggage car. The engine,
tender, baggage car and three passen-
ger cars passed over the gap in safety;
but the two last passenger cars swung
off the track about twenty-five rods,
the coupling parted, and they were
hurled down declivity thirty feet deep
to the meadows below. Before reach
ing the bottom the cars turned over
twice; the first time the sides were
burst open, and subsequently they were
split up into minute pieces, and their
human contents strewn about the green
sward, wounded, dying and dead. As
soon as it could be done the train was
checked and backed, and the horror
stricken inmates of the other cars hur-
ried to- the rescue of the injured. Both
of the overturned cars were full of
passengers, and the consequences of
the disaster was most appalling. The
ruins of the cars were all blood-stained
and seemed to be instinct with life, as
scores of people, suffering from every
conceivable form of mutilation, crawled
from under their fragments. As soon
as it could be accomplished, the victims
of the disaster were borne to the cars,
where their wounds were temporarily
bound up, and the train set off for Port
Jervis. On arrival there, they were
Immediately carried to the hotels, and
all the medical skill that the neighbor-
hood afforded was brought into requi-
sition. Thus far there have been six
deaths, and it is feared that others will
die. Those who were IN the cars at
the time state that they were over
whelmed in an instant, without the
slightest warning, and hurled from their
seats in every direction, with terrific
violence. The seat backs few over,
wounding and manning many, and the
splinters did the rest. f.er,fa
The following is list of the killed

injured, and it is feared he cannot re-
