HEARTLESS MURDER-THE FIRST FRUITS
OF THE NEGRO EQUALITY DOCTRINE
NEGRO ATTACK UPON UNION MEN.
intense excitement prevails throughout Orange
county, In consequence of the heartless and delib
crate murder of Phineas T. Wood ESQ highly
respected resident of Goshen, by black demon in
| human form, on Saturday evening last, and. as
near as we can ascertain, for no other reason than
the unfortunate man was Union man, and there
fore, opposed to the Republican principle of Negro
equality.
Union meeting was held in the town on Satur.
day evening last, and after the adjournment, most
of the people having gone home, gang of black
rulhans, some fourteen or fifteen in number made
furious attack upon handful who remained in
the public house where the meeting was held. The
negroes being all stalwatt, ferocous fellows and
outnumbering the whites, succeeded in dispensing
the latter, and leaving their marks upon them, in
many wound-the negroes remaining masters of
the field
The news of the outrage spreading, the white
men returned with fresh recruits, and administered
TO the negroes severe chastisement after which
everything was quiet. This took place on Thurs
day evening.
On Friday one of the negroes, thirsting for re-
Venge, paraded the streets of Goshen with rifle in
his hand, saying hew going to shoot Cd id
white Democrat, and bawlng out that "Eyerv
Democrat ought to have his throat cut" People
thought he was not in earnest, and did not mind
his threats. The negro then, with his gun loaded
to the muzzle, proceeded to his home, about three
miles out of the village. At this time Mr. Wood
happened to be coming along on his way to Goshen
seeing whom, the negro came out, and deliberately
leveiled his gun at him. The gun missed fire ,
whereupon some words passed between Mr. Wood
and his assaant, after which the latter, unheeding
or the remonstrances OF the unhappy man, reprimed
his gun, and shot Mr.. Wood dead on the spot the
ball taking effect in the back of his head The mis-
creant was subsequently, arrested by the authorities
and conveyed to prison. When interrogated CON.
cernlng the murder, be only replied that he was
sorry that any more of the Wood family were left
The murder, or the circumstances has ere ated a
deep feeling of excitement throughout the country,
and people are beginning to ask, if the Negro

cans, will soon have to look out for their throats
and Tor negro uprising, as well countrvmen
in the South.
The foregoing facts we have from the lips of Mr.
Israel Wood, who called at the Express office last
night Mr.. Wood is a brother of the murdered
man, and was gentleman of responsibility and
standing in Goshen. He was accompanied by Mr.
J. l.. Davis, of ls4 South street in this city.
The WAR IN CHrNA-MovEMENrs OF MINISTER

days after the Russian Minister arrived in frigate
and other vessels soon after joined the Russian
squadron The Allied fleet commenced arriving on
the goth ultimo, and had generally reached the
anchorage on the 3lst. On the I'd they CONNIE need
dlsembarking the troops If the weather is favora-
bly, they expect to have all their forces shore in
a day or two. They landed at Petang, where they
met no resistance. This is the place where Minis

"Ihe Allies have met with greater difficulty than
they expected the ships having to anchor en- miles
from the land: The attack upon the forts at the
mouth OF the Peiho will not, perhaps take place for
week. The Allies are making every preparation
for it. As vet there is Indication that the Chi
nese will submit without again trying their strength
with the Allies. Mr.. Ward, having had communi-
cation with the Governor General and being salts
ned that he cannot be of any service to the Chinese
by remaining at this point, has requested me to
leave here and visit Chofoo, so that he may be able
to communicate with the Russian Minister until af-
ter the Allies have commenced operations
Dispatches were also received at the Department
OF State from Minister Ward. He states that he
communicated with the Governor General, inform
ing him that his object in being there to render
his good offices in conjunction with the Russian Am
bassador, to effect pacification if possible. The
Governor-GeneraPs answer was very able, recapi-
tuating the wrongs suffered by the Chinese at the
hands of the Allies, and of their determination at
all hazards to resist invasion. The collision which
Tartars, is spoken of as uncertain in its result.
TERRIBLE CALAMITY AT NEW HAvEN-ExpLosroS
AND Loss OF LIFE.-The New Haven Palladium of
Saturday says:
''At little before noon to-day, the boilers in the
basement of Damn Bros carriage parts manufac.
tory, corner of State and Wall streets, exploded
throwing out the entire end of the building, and
filling the Canal Railroad track with the ruins. The
second story was occupied by Giles &. Baldwin,
manufacturer of clock and dental tools. lie and Mr.
1p fall with tha bull
severely but not dangerously scalded. John Kane
was blown entirely out from the falling ruins and
received fracture of the skull which will probably
prove fatal. The johnson boy is said to be seri-
ously injured, in what way we could not ascertain"
New HAVEN, Nov. 3.-The boy Henry Rice, who
was killed by the steam boiler explosion at Damn &
Bros. coach factory yesterday, was found under
the ruins last night; nearly all lis bones were
crushed. The boy John Kane lives, but with no
hope of his life. G. G. Baldwin and George De
Wolf very low; Jos. Van Ripper was badly
scalded, but may live. The cause of the accident
was poor boiler iron The loss of property is about
S., 900.
THE DAMAGE TO THE VIRGINIA AND TENNESSEE
RAILROAD.-We learn that the damage to the Vir-
ginia and Tennessee road, by the late heavy rains,
is much more serious than was at first supposed
The damage is confined principally to that part of
the road between Dublin depot and Wytheville, a
distance of twentyeght miles, but is of a very Sc
rious character, no less than fourteen bridges hav-
ing been washed away, and the road destroyed in
many places. The cut at Clark's Summit is filled
up with mud and rock, at least 90 feet deep. A
train reached here last evening, bringing the way
mails and portion of the through passengers that
bad been detained by the damage to the road. 1t
is thought the road cannot be put in complete run
ming order under two three weeks, but arrange
ments are being made by which the mails and pas
sengers will be transported over the line with but
little interruption. The loss to the company is va
riously estimated at from 500 900 to $3.50 000 in
addition to which will be the heavy loss sustained
by the protracted interruption of freight and
travel The President and Superintendent of the
road, together with large force, ar now engaged
in repairing the damage, and feel confident
that no pains will be spared to put the road in or
der at the earliest tmoment-Lynchburg Republican.
BLoNDrN AT TRoY-He Gets a FaH-The daring
rope walker has been performing at the theatre in
Troy, and on Tuesday evening met with an acci-
dent The Times of that city says "The same or
similar mishaps at the Falls would have landed him
in the seething waters below the cataract, and the
little Frenehman would have been heard OF no
more on this side of eternity. While performing
stills he attempted to turn sOmersaul, but the
notch that sustained the rope suddenly gave way ,
and he fell amongst the seats and the people below.
He was considerably hurt by the fall, and one OF
bis appeared to be partially paralyzed by con-
tact with the hard substance the back of a seat,
After picking himself up and repairing damages,
he essayed the feat with more success; but in max
ing subsequent turn over, without stills or baanc-
ing pole, he again lost his balance and came near
1alllng. Ills WnOe performance was very lnflllng,
and was witnessed with anxiety for his safety bv
the audience. We think much of his i'll success was
owing to the imperfect manner in which the rope
was adjusted. The "professor" will doubtless
guard against such mishaps hereafter.-BW. Re

HUNG FOR THE NIEErEENTH TIME.-A Western
Missouri contemporary tells the following:
On Tuesday last, news came to this city that a
man was seen hanging between Independence and
Maxwell's Landing. The Coroner was promptly
notified of the fact and he in the discharge of his
surprise found the man alive, kicking and walking
about as other men do, with no rope around his
neck-where the rope ought to be. He (the Cor
oner) made inquiries about the victim, and
the old woman that is Mrs. Elicott the wife of the
hung man-replied that he was cut down, but not
dead; and further remarked, that it was about the
18th time he had attempted to hang himself and
hadn't yet succeeded, but shed be teetotally
darned if he mighn't hang the next time until he
to let him breath easy. We understand that Eli
colt is in the habit of hanging himself every time
he has family jar, and although he has made so
many attempts has never yet got without sight of
the house, where his wife would never fail to let
him down before his wind shortened.
TRIAL OF A LIFE-P PREsERvING RAFT.-Some time
since, Captain Wayne, of the U. s. Navy, was ap-
pointed by the Government to test the capabilities
of a lite-preserving raft, invented by Samuel b.
Broad The raft is simple in its construction, and
is composed of vulcanized gutta percha with three
LARGE ntoous or floats, which support wide can
vass deck. The raft is inflated by means of tubes
through which the air is introduced by means of
several bellows. The initiation occupies from seven
to eleven minutes. Captain Faunce, of the Harriet
Lane, together with the inventor and several inyit-
ed guests proceeded yesterday to Sandy Hook on
