A gentlemanwho he's justroturned from
the scene Of che lataralroad disaster furn-
ishes ns the following statement:
The place whore the accident occurred
is about two miles East Of South Bend,
and one mile West Of Mishawuka. In or
binary summer weather there is no rum
ming water there at all, end in y hours af-
ter the accident occurred, The brook could
be stepped across with ease. The em-
bankment, az near az / can Judge, was a.
bout fifteen or twenty feet high, over the
bed of the creek. The whole width Of
the brook does not, think, exceed sixty
feet. ] came through South Bend on the
Tuesday morning train from Chicago,and
was at MshawOka until nearly seven
o'clock In the evening; at which time II
was said the total number killed and then
dead was forty-threo.
The bodies were taken into the ware
house at Mishawaka, and there dressed
and put into cofins.
We found the engine almost complete
ly embedded in the sand, aud the corner
of one car, though Il might not have been
whole, was exposed. The body Of tho
sleeping car, and the coach preceding IL
we're the only ones IN sight The other
cars, with nearly all the baggage, were
totally ground 70 pieces and that sin
gle passenger in any Of them did escape
with his life seems almost miraculous.
Il was currently reported atElkhart, OF
Wednesday morning that nine bodies haS
been found in the 81 Jo River, which
runs ncary parcllel with the railroad som'
sixty rods North, and one as far down a
Niles, Mich,-a distance Of eleven miles
Probably a number were carried dowr
that may never be found, as the river Il
much swollen, and the current sufficient
| ~ strong 10 carry them into the lake be-
| fore they would rise TO the surface.
II Is impossible to estimate the eXnc
number Of lives lost, but / am confident I
will amount TO nearly sixty.
The Superintendent and Assistant
were on the ground promptly and, I thinl
are entitled to ollpraiso for their efforts I,
alleviate the suifcdngs Of the wounded
for furnishing collins and other necessary
articles for the bodies Of the killed; AM
aler this had been done, TO provide 70
the recovery Of all damage to the proper

superintendent Campbell says the ar
ticlc in the Albany Statesman, to the ef-
feet that at p. NJ. Of the 29th ult., he
telographed a gentleman at Adrian that
~ bodies had been recovered up to that
date, is incorrect. To-day, July 9th, the
whole number Of the dead, so far as
known, including all who were killed at
the time Of the accident, and all those
who have since died Of their injuries, is
forty. a force Of lOborors has since been
employed at the place in searching for
bodies, although none are positively known
10 be missing. And while il is possible
for this number to be increased by finding
other bodies, Il is believed that all have
been found and that all the wounded will
recover.

The Albany Argus has the following
Concerning the balloon "Atlantic." Mr.
John Wise, the celebrated Bronaut, arri-
we'd in Albany at 81 O'Clock yesterday
morning. lie reports that from St. Louis
to Medina, Orleans county, from which
the last telegraphic dispatch concerning
the balloon was received, the voyage was
highly uccessful-4the balloon working

the hopes with which they had set out,
chat they would be able to reach the sea-
board at this point However, they found
that they were somewhat out Of their
course, and could not possibly make New
York, being too far north, and therefore
determined TO proceed 10 Boston or Port
land. Before taking hatdirection II was
concluded to land at Rochester, there
drop Messrs. eager and Hyde, then pro-
ceed on their journey eastward. In car
rying out this intention, they dropped
down gradually, and finally struck hur-
ricane perfectly frightful in It's force
| which hurried them along at terrific speed
towards Lake Ontario. They were driy-
en- down 70 the very surface Of the water
where the balloon, Hghtenedin every pos.
sible way, was carried with fearful speed
and violence towards the shore, ant
through piece Of woods into which they
finally managed to land. This was il

The entire distance travelled was ll5C

One Of the marked incidents of the
voyage was an oversight which came neal

in the wicker basket and being overcome
with fatigue, laid down and fell asleep
The rest Of the party were in the boa
below. II being necessary TO advise will
him on some point as TO the course oftht
balloon, they called to Mr. Wise severa
times, but receiving no response Mr.. Ga
ger went to him by climbing up the rope
and found him breathing spasmodicalll
from the effect of the escaping gas, whicl
was slowly suifocating him. He was i'm

why south Nebraska Desires 10
be Annexed 60 Kansas.

There may be- a meaning behind this
movement Of Southern Nebraska seeking
TO be annexed 10 Kansas, which is hidden
from public gaze. On the sHmo day that
delegates 10 the Kansas Constitutional
Convention wero selected by the people
Of that Territory, delegates were chosen
in all the Nebraska counties south Of tho
Platte, 20 the same Convention, and will
present thoir credentials 20 that body when
Il meets, the 7th ofnext month, asking to
be heard In is deliberations. Six 20 one
Of the Southern Nebraska delegates are
said to be in favor of the annexation to
Kansas Of that part Of Nebraska lying
south of the Platte, and of an early or
ganiEuuon Of State Gpyernment in this
combination ofterritory. Now, let il be
borne in mind that the Republicans Of
Kansas have but bare majority in the
newly elected Constitutional Convention;
apd that al are Democrats, Il will thus
be seen what fine scheme is on foot to
cheat the Free State men ofKans0s ofthe
boon for which they have struggled and
which now appears 10 be within their
reach. John Cundle-box Calhoun resides
in this dsanccted portion Of NebruskO,aut

Negro Agitation.

The Democratic papers all over Ohio,
and in almost oil the States keep con-
stanty ogtuting the negro question:
One con hardly find an article In the Ohio
Statesman, that is not sprinkled over with
Niger, nigger, nigger. Niger Is about
all the grund sets the party has left. II
Il were not for Sambo the Democratic
party would have no argument, no harp
Of thousand strings to play upon. We
knew a Catholic priest once, who drunk a
toast 20 the devil, and when asked 70 ex-
plain, he said, If II was not for the devil
we priests would have nothing TO do
Upon the same principle, the Democrats
ought 10 toast the negro.
Col. manypenny, Of tho Statesman Is
wonderfully alarmed, for fear the State Of
Ohio win be overrun with free negroes
fftho Col. could only have them here MS
slaves, il would be all Democrutically
right and the more the betteu-SPi ing
Gcid Republic.

Judge Cradlebaugh had returned from a
tour Of his circuit, and issued warrants
during the trip for the arrest Of nearly a
hundred persons engaged in the massacre
at the Mountain Meadows, and various
other murders. Saw no church officials
along the route. He reports that for eigh.
ty miles before reaching Santa Clara
his company found human skeletons al

probably murdered by the Indians last

A number ofthe naturSli8ed citizens OF

Cass theory of double allegiance, Mr., H.,
replies at length, in a manner not at oil
eulogistio Of our veteran Secretary Of
State. ora course Of the Admlnistra-
ton on this question, Mr., Hickman very
plainly Says
~ need not say to you that such un-
grateful aud inhuman conduct and 80 ut
terly subyersive of all our professions
through three-quarters Of century, will
never receive my sanction. Il Is mon
strous and unpSrdonable. II is the larg-
est concession that can bemade to despot-
ism, and, ifunrebuked, shows that we have
become a nation Of hypocrites,

kind ofcitizenship. ltis absolute aud un-
qualified, and confers perfect equality of
social, religious, legal and political rights
upon tho native born and the naturalixed,
with the single exception Of the meligi-
bihty Of the latter to the Presidency"
Ater clear and convincing argument
in support ofthese views, Mr., Hickman
concludes;
"You win thus see that | regard any
refusal Of the United States 10 defend ant
protect a nOturaliEed citizen either at home
or abroad, as vigorously and fully a. an
American-born, destructive alike Of the
