find in the Ohio Eagle of last week
paragraph. purpOrting to be fair quo
tation from a speech delivered last winter,
at Springfield, Massachusetts It's, by the cell
sbrated orator Carl Schurz.
The intelligent reader of any party,

charged upon him.
Many copies of this speech both in En-.

and see for themselves how fraudulent

remarks Of the Eagle.

HokEfBLE RAILROAD ACCIDENT. .---On
Monday evening theWestward bound ex.
press train on the Central Ohio Railroad
ran of the track about eight miles vest
Of Cambridge killing the engineer, James
Free, and the fireman, Charles Rusle.
The cause of the disaster was the break.
ing Of wheel and the consequent tering
up Of the track for space Of about three
hundred yards. The engine and tender
were pitched over the embankment and
broken in pieces. The train was going al
great speed. and waS rounding curve
when the accident happened. The fire!
man was instantly killed, but tho death
of the engineer was appalling, A portion
Of the wreck caught him by the legs and
held him down, while the boiling water
from the engiue trickled upon him, fatal
ly scaldiug him. His sufferings were SO
intense that he begged the passengers to
kill hiud and end his misery. This they
could not do, neither were they able for
some time 10 extricate him from the frag.
ments by which he was partially buried.
The Columbus, Fact, from which we con-
dehse these details, states that several Of
the passengers were injured, but not seri-

ton tha. has been held since the Chicago
Convention, indicates, that the choice Of
the people for their next President, will
fall on Mr.. LINCOLN, of Illinois, and his
election by the people is now conceded by
men Of all parties. A word Of caution
however, upon this subject. is, at this
time, no! out Of place;aud to Republicans,
we say respectfully, let no man stay away
from the ballot box on the sixth day Of
November next. Let every one who de-
sires that the people should choose their
own President, be at the polls. All those
opposed to the election of Mr.. LINCOLN
are as anxious and determined as ever, to
defeat a choice by tie people, and to
throw the election into the house Of Rep.

pro,slavery disunionist, or President Of

kind, rushed along until it was estimated
that $4,000 people were present, and the
cry was "stiE they come" So far, the
fair has been an unprecedented success,
