SOUTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD
The Marshall Republican, of the | 18th
inst, has the following notice of DR..
Fowikes, and the Southern Pacific
Railroad
On Tuesday last, DR. Fowlkes left
Marshall for Memphis and New York,
carrying with him the good will and
best wishes Of our citizens.
The friends of the Southern Pacific
Railroad have reason to congratulate
DIR. Fowlkes on the success Of his
lsbors At no period since the com.
neucement Of this great enterprise,
has it occupied such a commanding
position before the public.
DIR. Fowlkes, during his brief stay
in Marshall, has, we understand, eff
footed an arrangement which virtually
extipguisbes $3.50, 900 of the paper
previously given for its Indebtedness.
The remainding portion of the paper
given in payment ofthe Texas debt will
be discharged in less than sixty days,
and an ample fund furnished to meet
all current expenses, TO carry on the
work vigorously.
The President Of the company has
been ordered, by resolutions Of the
board, to purchase the iron for one
hundred miles of road, for which he
has ample means.
Messrs. DeGraff Il Smith expect
TO commence, without futher delay,
active operations on the work. Their
contract with the company requires
the construction Of fifty miles Of road
in fifteen months, but IL is their dc.
sire and intention to finish IL much
earlier. For this purpose they pro-
pose 10 let out sub-contracts at req
sonable rates for cash. Mr.. Smith
has left for the Northwestern States,
to purchase corn, provisions and other
supplies, to be in New Orleans ready
for shipment as soon as navigation
opens in Red River.
The stock books have been closed.

Tug VIGILANCE COMMITTEES AND
JupeE LEWIS. The Franklin Banner
states that Judge Lewis, a Bell elector
Of this State, was ordered to leave St.
Martinsville by persons representing
themselves as members of Vigilance
Committee, for having made a speech
in favor of the Bell party in tbpt place.
The Banner says:
The facts in the case appear TO be
these. Thomas II. Lewis, Esq, at
tended at st. Martiusviie on the
4th inst, by invitation, a meeting to
ratify the nomination Of Bell n Ever
EFT, and made two speeches in French
and English In the afternoon he
atteu'ed TO some business Of his own
in the little village, spent the night
there, and left early in the cool Of the
morning for home to avoid the heat
Of the day. After Mr.. Lewis had left
the place, the chief of the Vigilance
Committee and companion are said
TO have started TO notify Mr.. Lewis TO
leave the place in three quarters Of an
hour, or suffer violence at their hands.
We, presume if Mr.. Lewis had re-
NAMED in the place six months, moth.
ing would have been said about com.
polling him to leave. Besides, it does
not appear that the said "Chief" was
authorized by any committee to show
any disrespect whatever to Mr.. Lewis,
nor would the people of st. Martins
vile have permitted so foul al outrage
had Il been attempted. We presume
that many Of the Vigilance Committee
themselves are friendly to Bell IL Ev-
erett. or, IL they are not, they certain.
ly would not have the eHrottery to
attempt to regulate politicians as well
as cow thieves.
This was probably an idle threat,
which the author never contemplated
executing, aud which would have
brought him into serious peril, had he
been in earnest. --Pioawne, 20M

LETTER FROM CENTRAL AMERICA.
walker In Possession Of Truxillo, Hond.
Collision with the British Troops.
the rsHABrrANrs IN eRsAr EXCITEMENT.

The schooner Arsminta, Capt. Mason,
arrived at this port this morning, (says
the New Orleans Picayune Of Monday eve,
the goth inst, y from Ruatan Island the
Nth inst. She brings news Of the highest
importance from the main land.
Gen. William Walker, Of whose expedi-
ton TO Nicaragua we have before had Ac-
counts, made bis appearance before the
town Of Truxillo, Honduras, on the 9Th
inst, and took possession without serious
opposition. Only one gun was fred by
the troops stationed there, by which two
of Walkers men we're wounded. Walker
then entered the town and took possession.
The greatest excitement prevailed.
The object Of this attack upon Truxillo
is unknown. We only know that the ex-
petition sailed from the Island Of Cozu-
mel on the goth ult, as supposed for Near
sgus direct. Subsequent TO its departure
we had intelligence Of the capture, by the
British, off Honduras, of the schooner
Clifton, one Of his little transports, and
Of her being taken into the Belize.
Whether now, after learning Of this sci
zure, Walker subsequently turned his
course TO that coast, TO reeapture the YES
sel, or whether he had originally intended
az fret stated, to land at Truxillo and
make his way through Honduras to Nj
csragua by land. we are left to conjecture.
We only know this in addition, that st
last accounts from the main land, the
British flag was still flying on the forts AT
Trusillc.
The crew Of the schooner Clifton, cap
tured by the British authorities at Belize,
came up passengers by the Arsmints.

Terrible Accident on the Csrroiltsn
Railroad.

An accident happened yesterday
evening on the Carrollton Railroad,
dreadful in its results, and which calls
for The strictest inquiry as to its cause
1t being alleged that the loss Of
several lives and the wounding Of
many persons in this case, are due TO
the culpable carelessness Of the engi-
neer in charge Of one Of the trains.
Shortly before 8 O'Clock I. NJ, the
down train from Carrollton stopped at
Jackson street to put out passengers,
as customary, and was standing still
when the Jefferson and Lake Express
train caine up behind at full speed
and ran into the hindmost car, jam
ming that against the next or prece.
ding one. and crushed both. The
passengers of the forward train were
| getting out at the time, and the
effects Of the collision may be mag
ined. A large number Of persons
] Thirty or forty it is said) were thrown,
and more or less bruised and scratch.
ed. A little boy about six years old,
whose name we did not learn, but
who is believed 10 be Of n German
family, was killed another child had
its skull fractured and was taken
away in dying condition another
child received large cash in The
throat A little boy named Dennis
Frank. the son of Mr.. John Frank re,
siding on Marais street. between St
Louis and Toulouse, had his ankle
dislocated. and was otherwise so badly
injured that he died during The night
Mr.. A. Chopin, brother of DR.. s
Chopin, received compound fracture
Of the ieft leg, little above the ankle
lie was accompanying his sisterin-law
and her younger son, neither Of whom
we are pleased TO learn, received any
injuries.
After the scene Of confusion was
over, the express train backed up 60
Carrollton. The engineer in charge
John Sullivan, could not be found
Lieut.. Jaquess aud his officers looked
in vain for him they arrested John
Legs and John Davenport, conductors
or ticket sellers on the road. The
express train was AT full speed and
had a lignt blazing in trout when il
ran into the passenger train. II wa:
the duty Of the engineer TO stop nj
Jackson street, or at least to slacken
speed when another train was sect
ahead, which could hardly escape no
tice, although is is said that the con
ductor Of the passenger train neglected
TO have n lamp swung at the bind end
of the train, as is required by the rules
Of the road when train is at a halt.
The Coroner is making proper in
vestigations.

john c. BREcKrNRIDeE.-On Thurs
day morning we published a dis
patch from New York, sent by the
Associated Press, which gave cur
rency to the rumor that Mr.. Brock
inridge had sought a consultation
with his political friends for the
purpose of deciding on the p~oprie-
ty Of his withdrawing from the
Presidential contest.
Mr.. Colman, the manager of the
telegraph Office at Memphis has
telegraphed, on the Authority of a
dispatch received there from Mr..
Breckenridge himself, that the re-
port is totally false --Picayune.
Just what was expected. We
published the report expecting to
have authority from the same
source to contradict it the next day.
1t would be a good idea to require
reporters by telegraph to append
their names to what they send as
rumors. The public would then be
able TO learn, which one Of them at
Washington, has the book with red
letters, and who can look into the
seeds of time and say which grains
will bear and which will not.
