street, Thursday evening, in the steamboat
Hero, and took the cars, (such as were bound
West ) at Piermont.
Mr.. Thompson the conductor, states that
the brakes had been applied to arrest the speed,
when a shock was experienced which affected
fhe whole train. He looked out and saw that
two cars were missing. The rear car ran of
first, dragging the other with it, and the two
when they stopped were fifty feet apart The
passengers killed were all in the last car.
NJ" John +. White, No. I27 Blocker ST..
supposed to be fatally Injured, is considered in
fair way Of recovery. His little daughter
Slt beside him at the time and was not hurt
The other wounded are doing well, and will
probably recover.
1t is supposed that the rail was broken by
the weight Of the engine, and that it did not
get out of place till the rear car had come TO
the spot otherwise the slaughter would, it is
thought, nave been greater.
Mr. VIM. Rose, of this city, who was Oh the
train, states that the cars were going at the
rate of fifty miles an hour He became salts
fled, from the motion that the cars could not
be kept on the track at such speed and, con-
sequently, took his position in an open freight
car, in momentary expectation Of an accident,
and resolved to jump When tire accident oc-
cured, he Ieaped of and was considerably
bruised ,ibnt not dangerously hurt.
The jury summoned by the Coroner to in
veStgatc the recent d slStcr on the Erie Rail
road has rendered a verdict generating the
Railroad Company and the officers in cha, ge
Of the train from all blame, attributing the
sad occurrence 10 the breaking Of the rail.

-HON. JoHN VI. READ is a gentleman of

vorably known throughout the State. Origi-
nally a member of the democratic party, his
sagacious and acute mind early discovered the
plan to make that party The ally OF slavery

the standard of resistance to the pretensions
OF the slave power. Since that time his course
has been in consistent support of the principles

a difficulty had occurred, growing ont of
the persistence of the Indians in driving their
cattle and horses vpon the hay grounds known
as the EweI Camp, near Fort Defiance. Mai.
Brooks had been obliged to send a company of
soldiers to drive the hardS of aud protect the
grounds from encroachment. Several cattle
and ponies were killed by the soldiers, and skir-
mish occurred between the troops and Indians,
but none OF either party were killed or wound
ed.
Our dispatches from Leavenworth of the
18th instant, received per the United States
express to BoonvIle, say that an express ar-
rived from General Harney, who was, on the
10th inst encamped seventy-fve miles beyond
Fort kearuey. Col. Monroe'S column was be-
yond the South Fork of the Platte river. Col.
Mays command was a short distance in the
rear of the headquarters All the troops were
well and in splendid condition. A despatch
from Nebraska City on the 5th says that trains
had just arrived from Fort kearney, reporting
that the officers Of the Fort had received intel
ligence that Gen. Johnston had entered Salt
Lake City with his troops. This probably a
mistake.

News from the Atlantic Telegraph Fleet

BosToN, July l6.-The ship Alice Munroe,
from Liverpool, has arrived at this port bring
ing important intelligence relating to the At
Inntic Telegraph fleet Through the kindness
of Capt. Cummings we have obtained the fol-
lowing report
At sea, June 9th, lat. 81 deg, minnorth
long. 33 deg, - min. west wind, weather ha-
~, saw two ships heading eastward. On look
ing with the glass, found them to be the Unit
ed States frigate with the Niagara, and the
Gorgon of the Telegraph Squadron. Tackled
ship and stood towards them, were boarded
by Cyrus w. Field, ESQ and a Lieutenant
from the Niagara and received from them the
following statements =
STATEMENT OF MR.. FIELD.
The squadroa experienced very bad wealth
er from the period of starting, and was sixteen
days in reaching the point of destination
Two unsuccessful attempts were made to lay
the cable The second attempt was made on
the Goth, the day previons. Upwards of forty
miles of the cable were laid, and the ship was
going along finely, when communication ccas
ed, the cable probably being broken on the
Agamemnon.
On the 9th, the ships returned to the start
iu- IIpIit, w Nv dlJ lLIC ltlui u VI llc AHdIn
emnon and Ealorous. A splice will then be
made, and the laying Of the cable again pro-
cecdcd with.
Mr. Fields was in good spirits, and thought
they would yet succeed in laying the cable
The stormy weather had interfered much with
the success Of the enterprise.
One of the ships had sustained slight dam
age. One sailor had l,g broken, and anoth-
er an arm All were well on board the Mag
ara. Her machinery worked iacy, and the
ship admirably performed its share of the i'm
portant duty.
The Alice MunToe lost sight Of the Niagara
at half past three on the afternoon of the 27th
The weather since has been foggy and unset
lied
The sqnadroa did not probably meet before
the 2Sth.
