The Wounded by the Railroad Accident

There are five of those injured by the late
railroad accident near WATERFOWL, Wiscon-
sin, now lying under treatment in that city,
Mr.. CRAIG, sits up occasionally and is doing
well. Mr.. SrEBB1Ns, Of Appleton, whose
leg was crushed, will be able to go home in
few days. McCABE, the fireman, who had
several ribs broken, his lungs puuctured, &c.
is rapidly recovering. Mr.. PAGE, the bag.
gage master, whose hip was badly fractured,
suffers great pain, but it is hoped he will
recover. Of VAN B. SMEAD, one of the
editors of the Fond du Lac Press, the NeaOs
says: He lies in a very critical state, but
hopes are still entert aimed of his recove-
ry. When taken from the ruins, he Wa
covered with blood, and raving like mad
man, requiring three men to hold him. His
skull was badly fractured, and be was badly
bruised beside. A piece Of the skull, three
inches long and an inch and half wide has
been removed from the main wound and he
is slowly recovering. His room is kept
dark all the time, and as quiet as a church
yard, but Notwithstanding all the care be-
slowed on him at times he is delirious. The
weight Of finger on his head causes him to
scream with pain, and the physicians will
admit no one to his room, but those who are
nursing him. When delirious, he will order
all the men away, but will become as quiet
as babe if some lady will sit beside him
and by her gentle presence sympathize with
and sooth him. At any moment woman g
voice and hand will still the Whirlpool of
thought and pain be labors under, and al
low him to sink into an easy sleep. AS yet
he does not know the extent or nature of the
accident, or of the severe injuries he received
At times he speaks of the trains rushing to-
getber, ard begs some one to avert the
impending danger, but we believe he does
not realize how the affair happened, Or where
be is.

STORY OF A FEMALE SMuGGLER.-A few
weeks ago an elegantly dressed lady wear
ing fashionable bonnet, costly veil, flowing
pelisse, and silk dress distended by an ample
quantity of crinoline, presented herself at
one of the custom houses on the Belgian
frontier, carrying in her arms bouncing
child, carefully wrapped up in fine linen and
rich lace, bis dear little features being pro-
tected by thick green veil. As the lady
entered the Office, she whisperiDgly informed
the agent that her child was asleep, and
begged that his slumbers might not be dis
turbed. The skeptical French official bowed
with native politeness but nevertheless asked
the elegant strar ger to accompany female
employee of the bureau into private room.
There was no need, however, of an excess of
courtesy. No sooner was the employee
summoned, than she snatched the infant from
the mothers arms, and let it fall heavily to
the floor. In the handsome stranger she
had recognized professional smuggler, and
the interesting child was nothing more nor
less than roll Of tobacco weighing over
thirty pounds

A couNrRYMAN who was on a spree in
st. Louis, few days ago, fell in with a
chap who pretended to be broker, from
whom he purchased what he supposed to be
bar OF gold, paying for it 1926. The
metal was weighed with great solemnity,
and one end filed off to adjust the weight.
Next morning, when he woke up, he found
plug of tobacco, nicely done up in gold
foil.

Correspondence ofthe Pioneer and Democrat.
BUFFALO, N. Y, Nov. l6, 1859.
Please give me little corner of your
valuable sheet in which to ventilate some
ideas OF mine. l am now, farmer in Min
nesota, and owe money in this State which
1 wish to pay. l have in my granaries
enough wheat raised this year to do this
thing with, if it would sell for such price
as would leave me anything over. You
know how that is, the thing cannot be done
see what we in Minnesota want, it is a
cheap and sure avenue to the East. We
hope, when railroads reach to St. Paul, that
then we will have such an avenue, but
doubt it. The excessive length of the
route, Lake Michigan, all by rail, will
make such transit so costly as to eat up too
much OF the value of wheat, -four, pork and
beef, which are for long time to be our
staples ofexport. The river throw out oil
account, as unreliable even if it was sure;
we do not want to send our products down
it to be sent through the New York or St.
Lawrence canals to the East. l find Oh
enquiry that ordinarily, -four from St. Louis
and Iowa, wheat from Kentucky, and corn
from Tennessee, is to be found in the
markets of this city, (Bufalo,) so why
should we wish to burthen our products
with transportation charges to out of the
way places, from which they will have to
be sent through this city to an Eastern
market?
l am told that it would cost even now,
but little more to transport freight from the
mouth of the St. Louis River, in our State
than from Chicago, the distance being
about the same. Navigation is open about
as long on Lake Superior as on Lake
Huron. Now, is it not what Minnesota
wants-a Railroad from St. Paul to Lake
Superior? 1t seems to me that is what is
wanted-the distance for railroads being
short, the railroad charges would be light to
the Lake, and once there, freight could in
from twelve to fifteen days, be laid down on
the wharves of New York.
1 have no interest in lands, except my
farm, or railroad routes, to warp my iudg-
ment. all want is some sure market for
my farm produce, and cheap road to it.
am astonished that this matter of a con.
nection with the Lake north of US, is so lit
tie thought Of. Is it not just what is want
ed to make farming in the major part of
Minnesota as lucrative as it is in Illinois
and Wisconsin ?-even more 80, as our
crops are surer than in these States.
/ saw white Canada wheat, no better
than mine, sold here today, for $l.23 per
bushel-the cost Of transportation, say from
the mouth of the St. Louis River, to this
place, would be, if there was any thing to
transport, six cents per bushel. Cost, am
told, from st. Paul to the Lake at the st.
Louis River, by railroad, ought not to be
over four or five cents per bushel for wheat.
So you see wheat would be worth in st.
Paul, if we had Railroad to Lake Su-
perior, to-day, SLIP per bushel-quick,
cash sale. AGR1coLA,

New York Election.

The late news which we publish this morn
ing indicates the election OF three of the most
important officers on the State ticket by
the Democrats. We think the Republicans
shouted too soon. This is unexpected and
gratifying intelligence, and it pretty clearly
shows that New York can hardly fail to
give Democratic majority in 1860, if the
right kind of a man is nominated on the
right issue, against the irrepressible con-
flict," and in favor of selfgovernment in the
Territories, and the Union of the States.
