CuIpabIe Neglect.

The following is the verdict of the Coro-
ner's jury in relation to the late frightful ac-
cident on the New York Central Railroad at
Sauquoit creek an account of which we pub
lished few days ago
We find that the persons whose bodies have
been viewed by NJ, came TO their deaths by
the giving way of the bridge of the New York
Central Railroad, crossing the Sauquoit Greek,
/ the town Of Whitestown, Oneida county, ON
the morning of the llth Of May; and that
they were all passengers by the Cincinnati
Express train coming east. The deaths were
caused by the insecurity of the bridge, owing
to the same being decayed and rotten. A
portion of the bridge was constructed Of in
ferior timber. the same being bastard elm. We
find the deaths were caused by uuipable ne
glect on the part OF the Central Railroad
Company. in not causing this bridge to be
properly examined.

silent world, and we must only wait Gods
time; and hope that, on the other side Of the
grave at least, this great mistake may be set
right. Believe me, / am happy in being
with you. Frank-happy in thinking that the
same roof shelters us, and that we shall not
part till one of US two dies"
/ opened my arms, and. of her own accord
she came to my heart once more; her arms
were around my neck, and her head upon my
shoulder, and her lips meeting mine. Not
as they used to do, yet tenderly and kindly.
ave are older and wiser than we were, and
sadder, too. dear Frank" she said with a
smile. "Yet who knows? 1t may be that all
the love has not left us yet"
And thus that chapter of our life ended.
We have never touched upon the subject
since; but / have waited calmly for years,
and the same quiet light shines always in the
eyes of Alice; the same deep. sad tone thrills
my heart when / heard her speaking or
singing. An angel could scarcely be gentler
or kinder than she who was once so impetu-
GUS and full of fire. She was unreasonable
and exacting and ardent and imperious in
those days, / know, aud my slower nature
was always on the strain to keep pace with
hers; but, what bright joyous, happy crea-
ture she was!
1t would have been different but for me. o
you, who read this little tale, remember in
time that kind word and loving look cost
little, although they do such great work; and
that there is no wrong so deep as wrong
done to loving heart.

A Pair of Cincinnatians Suddenly
Leave California.

The California correspondent of the New
says:
California is the greatest country / ever
saw for sudden exits" An authorizes and
editress of a paper called the Athenaum. re-
Gently started here under the most auspicious
(suspicious, some say) circumstances conclud-
ing that having started it, had done all that
could be expected of her. and so she started
herself suddenly for Australia, leaving paper
and subscribers in the lurcb. Mrs. Cora Anna
Weekes, accompanied by Mr.. Weekes, arrived
here with a flourish of trumpets, and issued
prospectus for a new literary weekly paper,
and Mrs. W, being quite pretty, went herself
with the subscription list to every office and
counting-room and sat herself down until she
had talked those about her into subscribing.
She would sit and chat with people. and win
all hearts and dollars. A pair of bright eyes
did wonders in the way of obtaining sub
scriptions, and the paper was started with
flourish. At the first dash a stunning article
on literature was proved a plagiarism. The
papers were down on that style of thing, and
pitched in. She returned the compliment and
hurled back hard names. But the pressure
was too strong, and day or two since Cora
and her Weekes took sudden departure and
sailed for Australia, leaving subscribers, prin
tiers and everybody else minus. As Cora
collected subscriptions in advance, she is sup
gosed to have pocketed matter of fifteen
hundred dollars. 1t appears now that Mr..
Weekes has flourished under half dozen
assumed names in various parts of the States,
started sundry papers on the same basis-his
favorite name was Wentworth and the good
people of Cincinnati and Philadelphia may
remember Ella WentwOrth's Journal. Mr..
Weekes has married some ten or fifteen young
ladies, to say nothing of an equal number
who were justly entitled to the same atten-
ton. Brigham Young is thrown completely
in the shade. The history and adventures of
Weekes would fila volume-pass him round.
The inquiry now, on meeting a friend is, ''Do
you subscribe for the Atheneum?'

The Kansas Troubles.

KICKAPoo, X. T., May IL, 1858
Dr. Crane arrived here last evening. directly
from the Fort Scott neighborhood, and brought
terrible accounts of the condition of things
there and thought there was no probability
Of their early amendment
The bandits number as many as two hum
bred and fifty, although they rarely have in
the field moro than a hundred mounted men
These are thoroughly armed with Sharpe's
rifles, sabres, and navy revolvers, and ride
fleet horses, selected from the best stock of
the country. They are reckless deperadoes,
who murder and pillage Unfortunately, and
have taken entire possession of the lands and
personally Of the citizens whom they have
driven away. Montgomery is their COM
mander-in-chief, and Bane and McNulty are
Captains of bands who are ever on the alert,
AMI whose proximity spreads terror.
Their whole force is now encamped on one
sile of the Maraias Des Signe river. while Col.
Butler, u. S. A, with one company of infan-
try, one of artillery, one OF Dragons, and
Sherman's artillery, i, upon the other. They
defy the United States forces, and swear they
will never be taken. t-et
Montgomery boasts that he shot Capt An
derson, and that his first fire would have
killed him, if his, Anderson's horse, had not
thrown up his head and received the ball aim
ed at his masters breast.
A battle between Col. Buffers forces and
the bandits was expected hourly when DIR.
Crane left, but the DIR. had to flee the country
at full speed, by valleys aud through bush and
woods to save himself and horse. He was
hotly pursued; but his horse was fresh and
sw 1t, and his experience in Indian skirmishes
in California enabled him to clude them and
t. reach Missouri in safety. hundred and
fifty families had been compelled to fly and
take refuge in Missouri. Capt. Fox, the Da-
vies, and other prominent citizens had been
driven from Paris and Brooklyn, and The
POST had been evacuated. Within the dis
lance of five miles, the Doctor passed SO wag
ons of refugees, aud many others all along
the way escaping to Missouri.

A New Party Organization.

The following is the concluding paragraph
of an editorial in late number of the Rich
mond Wig.
In conclusion, we have faith in the union,
solid and compact, of nearly all the Opposi-
ton elements against the Democracy in the
next Presidential campaign. We believe the
thing is entirely and perfectly feasible, and
we know il to be desirable among conserva-
tive State Rights Union men of all parties
and sections. Ii is feasible, because the slavery
excitement will then have died away. There
will consequently be no basis for Northern
sectional organization, such the Republi-
can party is. Indeed, we are even now told
by the Democracy, with an air of triumph,
that the English Kansas bill will eiiect-in
less than thirty days from its passage, some
say-a permanent settlement" of the whole
vexed question of slavery. This being SO,
where is the occasion for sectional parties in
the contest of 1860. and there being then no
sectional parties, what may hinder "a complete
union of all the Opposition to the Democracy,
upon other and national issues From this
view of the subject, which is admitted to be
correct by the Democracy themselves, we per-
ceive no obstacles to the triumphant success
OF the Opposition forces in lS60-and in this
reflection we realize n consolation that passeth
description"
The above is correct in many respects, but
n some, according To our Judgment, il il
wrong. Any new party organization should
set out upon the intrinsic merits of its own
principles, and not avowedly as the antago-
mist of any pre-existing organization. 1t
should be the OPP onent of all who do not
agree with it in sentiment. aud the friend.
with open arms, of all who do agree. II is a
false step TO say II should be broght out and
pitted specially against the Democratic party.
The word democratic is too comprehensive now
a-days, and embraces too many shades of po-
litical opinion, for n general declaration Of
war against all who may call themselves by
that name. A good portion-a minority no
doubt-of the present Democratic party, are
men holding correct and conservative senti-
ments on nearly all the political issues of the
day. We shall not make war against such
men standing where they do. but would rather
invite them 10 cooperate with US, our seati-
ments being the same. Our idea Is when a
new party shall be formed-and the day has
not yet arrived for even the commencement
Of the work-it shall stand on its own prin-
ciples, rather than rs the opponent OF any
political body or Organization. There are
thousands of political men, In all sections and
of all parties, who would gladly rally TO the
proper standard, whenever il shall be raised.

"There was a saint in old times, /" / said,
quietly, going on with my papers. "a name

should never ask or refuse anything"

The next moment she threw the toy Ga
pretty little bronze inkstand made like a
Cupid, with his CULVER full of pens) at nv
feet, and turned away, grieved and angry. 1

in two.
'Oh. you can condescend to lift it from the

"Upon my word Alice, you are the most
unreasonable of beings. However. the little
god of love can be easily mended."
.Yesn
She placed the fragments one upon the
other and looked at me.
1T can be mended, but the accident must
leave its trace, like all others. Oh. Francisi''
she added, throwing herself down by my
chair, and lifting my hand to her lips. "Why
do you try me so? Do you really love me?"
''Alice," said, impatiently, lido get up.
You tire me.'
She rose and turned very pale.
81 will go then. But first answer my cues

There was a dead silence in the room as
the lying words left my lips, aud she grew so
white, and gave me such a look of anguish
that l repented of my cruelty, and forgot my
anger.
Il do not mean that, Alice" cried. ''You
look i'll and pale. Believe me, was only
jestng."
Il can bear it, Francis. There is nothing
on this earth that cannot be borne in one way
or other"
She turned and left the ROOM quietly and
sadly. The sunshine faded just then, and
only white, pale light came through the
window. | so connected it with her sorrow,
that to this day | can never see the golden
radiance come and go across my path, with
out the same sharp, knife-like pang that felt
then, as the door closed behind her.
