eYT A SMAsH.-On Wednesday night at Q
o'clock the coal train Of the Shamokin Valley
Road, as it reached the intersection of the
Sunbury and Erie, at this place, ran off the
switch. The locomotive and tender turned
over, down bank Of ten feet, bottom up, and
four loaded coal cars, piled upon each other
down each side Of the bank. The accident
was caused by the negligence of the switch
tender, who had up the signal that all was
right, while the switch was open. The OBJ
structons were removed in time for the l.
o'clock train of the Northern Central. The
damage to the locomotive is not very great.
1t will be raised in day or two by machinery.
The escape of the Engineer and Fireman was
indeed miraculous, as the engine house was
crushed to pieces. 1t is rot often that an acci-
dent occurs on this road.

wILLiAMsPoRT AND THE sUNBURl AND
ERIE RAILROAD.

Our friends Of the Lycoming Gdseite speak
ing of the improvements at Williamsport re-
mark that in 1850 they had no outlet by rail
road-"Now she has three-the Wiliamsport
"and Elmira road leading to the north-the
"Cattawissa and Erie leading to the east, and
"the Northern Central, leading to the south.
"The Sunbury and Erie leading direct to the
great Lakes, will also be in operation in o
"short time.
Persons looking on the map, and reading
the above, would find themselves somewhat
perplexed with this description in regard TO
the two ronds last mentioned. For instance,
the Cattawissa & Erie roads terminates at
Milton, 29 miles south of Willamsport where
it strikes the Sunbury and Erie which accor-
ding to the Gaseite, would seem to be, not
yet in operation. While the Northern Cen
trail terminates at Sunbury, 40 miles south of
"iliamsport, connecting at Sunbury with
the Suubury and Erie, now in operation be-
tween sunbury and Williamsport.
In this statement the Gazette ignores the
very existence of the Sunbury and Erie road
south of Williamsport.
1t may be said that these things are un-
derstood about home, but this matter Of cal
ling things by the wrong name, sometimes,
works great injustice. We met gentleman
some months since in Philadelphia, who had
travelled several times to Williamsport, by
railroad, but knew nothing Of the Sudbury
and Erie road, and was no little surprised
to find that the twenty. eight miles of excel
lent road, from Milton to Williamsport, over
which he had travelled, was not, as he sup.
posed, the Caltawissa, Wiliamsport and Erie
road as that ad captandem name signifed
but the veritable Sunbury and Erie, on the
reputation Of viii Oh other roads we're drawing
largely.

COL. FORNEY,s SPEECH.

In another column We publish an extract
from speech delivered by COL J. w. For
ney, at Tarrytown, New York, ut q mass
meeting of the friends Of John B. Hatkin,
who is up before the people of that district
for denomination for Congress. Mr.. Has
kins is an able man and was warm friend of
Mr.. Buchanan, but could not be bought over
to vote for Lecompton. The result is, that
the administration of Mr.. Buchanan is using
every means to defeat his election. The
Washington Union and the Pennsylvania
denounce as traitors, all who did not vote
as Mr.. Buchanan requested them to do, un-
der the penalty of his displeasure. And yet
this surrender of the consciences of the repre-.
sentatives Of the people, in blind obedience to
the will OF one man, is impudently called Dem.
ocracy. This is not at all events the democra.
cy that was inculcated in the days of Jefferson,
when it was supposed the people had some
thing to say in the affairs of the government.
The speech ofCol Forney dscloses some facts
that are curious and entertaining in the his
tory OF the Kansas imbrOgiio. 1t shows that
Mr.. Buchanan had suddenly, aud it must be
admitted, most unwisely, changed his views
in regard to popular sovereignty and the
Kansas question. Col. Forney's intimacy
and personal relations with Mr.. Buchanan,
enables him to speak by the card on this
subject. II is certainly strange piece of po-
| litcal history and more curious than credta-
| BILE to the administration.

On Monday afternoon we took the o'clock
train on hasty visit to williamsport, to wit
ness, among other things, the military epcamp
ment. The encampment is located about two
miles above town. There are about eight
hundred tents erected. on rising grouhd the
parade ground being on tho level, in front.
A battery of six field pieces is in frop. Of the
tents, among them brass eighteen FOUNDER,
captured from the Mexicans. There were
en- Tuesday noon from IL to Is companies,
and some more were expected. The ar
rangements, TO our Inexperienced military
eye, were we'll adapted to the purpose in
tended, especially as the absence Of those
dangerous missiles, known as bullets, made
one feel more comfortable. The September
rays Of the sun were rather ardent during
mid day. The tents, with their straw, looked
Gs if they might be comfortable enough in
pleasant weather, but we would much prefer
other quarters, under the effects OF North
er, or during the rainy season. The head
quarters Of the commander, Major General
Jackmap, was comfortable of course, as the
General is always prepared and knows how
to make his friends SO, whether at home or
in his tent The headquarters Of Adjutant
General Wilson was adjoining, and the Gen.
eral greeted, very cordially, his military as
we'll as unmiltary friends.
This was the fret time we ever trod the
"tented field" We saw no fighting, sham
or real, but the scene enabled us to form
some idea of tho appearance of military
camp. These encampmen.s are intended,
ard we believe, called, "canps Of instruction"
though we could not but think they were
suggestive of the pursuit Of knowledge under
difficulties" Our Wlliamsport friends had
expected much larger attendance of the
military.

e. The CHINESE ScGAR CASE.-lt is gen
orally supposed that the growing Of the Sorg,
hum like the morus mukicaulis, of former
years, has proved a failure and fzzled out.
This is not the case, however, the numerous
experiments Of lsst year, have fully proved its
value and usefulness, when properly cultiva-
ted and treated. IN Indiana, thousands OF
acres are planted aud successfully cultivated
and the impression is, that the sugar crop,
even this year. is very likely to prove the
heaviest and most profitable crop grown on
the soil of that fertile state.

very neat little towns, and beautifully situa-
ted, each characterized for its favorite loca-
ton and imposing scenery. Denzens of
Baltimore and other large cities might find
these exceedingly comfortable and desirable

almost surrounding them indeed--with tow
ering, ragged cliffs on the opposite shore,
give Il wild grandeur and picturesque view
seldom seen.
We left Sunbury about two o'clock in the
afternoon, aud though enchanted with natures
