Railway Accident Near Nashville, Tenn
One Man Killed and Several Severely
Injured-The Locomotive and Part Of the
Train Entirely Wrecked.
Our telegraphic advices of Sunday men
toned the railway accident on the Nash
vile and Chattanooga Railroad, and
Saturdays Nashville Banner gives these
particulars;
About FIVE o'clock yesterday morning, the
up-train for Chattanooga was thrown off the
track and literally smashed to pieces, at
Lavergne, about fifteen miles from this city.
According to the statement of the engineer,
whose escape was miraculous, and several
passengers with whom we conversed, the ac-
cident was occasioned by cross-tie, placed
upright in stock-gap between the rails, at
distance of about 200 yards from Lavergne
Station. The train was under good head
way, the engineer being a little behind the
schedule, and endeavoring to make up grad
ually. The locomotive came into collision
with this beam, or cross-tie, with such force
that it was completely reversed, and thrown
off the track on its side. The tender was
also ierked off the track, one corner of it
remaining on the rail; the baggage-car by
the impetus was carried quite beyond the To-
comotive and tender and overturned, and the
first passenger car following it, had the left
SIDE completely torn away, while the other
side was but little injured. The platform OF
the third and hindmost carriage was jammed
up, and the corner of the carriage stove in.
| The track is blocked up with the wreck
| both passenger carriages and part Of the
tender remaining across the rails. 1t is the
/ most unaccountable circumstance how such
! a frightful accident could have occurred, at
tended with so little loss of life.
One unfortunate man was almost instantly
killed, his skull being fractured, and his
body mangled in horrible manner. His
name was Ohas. Smith, formerly brakeman
on the road. He was found completely
buried beneath the wreck of the baggage car
and teIder and breathed only short time
| after he was removed.
George Hooper, the Mail Agent on the N.
and Q. r. R. line, was seriously, though not
fatally injured.
Another man had his jaw-bone fractured
! in three different places. Mr.. Hill, of Fay
etteville, had one of his fingers cut off, aud
| Gen. Farquerson, of the same place, received
several light bruises. Several of the other
passengers received slight bruises, among
them, Rev. DIR. Hoyt, of this city, who, like
many others, escaped miraculously The
Hon. L. Haynes had his left arm slightly
bruised; the others of the party escaped un-
hurt.

A New Way to Pay Old Debts.

The Montgomery (Ala.) Mail threatens a
secession in case Lincoln is elected; and,
what is worse, because much more probable,
a suspension of payment on the debts due to
Northern merchants. The Mail says, they
will pay eventually, but 'the North must
wait until all the exigencies of our new con-
dition shall have been provided for, until we
are armed and fortified, until good crops
bring us full pockets. The South owes
duties to itself which it can not neglect. In
the event indicated, our merchants must
have an extension of one full year at least"
They must have one year any how, and
then must get armed, fortified and full
pockets before they will begin to talk of
paying. 1t is easy to see why the election
of Lincoln, and secession, are popular in the
South. Of course every one who has bills
coming due to Northern merchants is a
natural secessionist and a shrieker for South
ern wrongs. But is not this rather hard to
the New York merchants who have bled so
freely to save the Union, and TO preserve the
constitutional character of their dry goods,
and to keep their names out of the Atlanta
Contederdcy and the Richmond Enquirer $
black list?

ence In it, he thinks was in bad taste, as that
was only intended to be "true in the vague
and general sense in which it was used by
the trainers of the Declaration True in a
vague sense; sense is goodl True in an un-
certain sense, will be heard from the tombs
next.
But he discovers that the Platform Quite
rejects the heresy that any law applicable
TO the civil government of our Union is
higher than the Constitution of the United
States"
We were not before aware that previous
Republican Platforms contained any such
bereyv. The first higher law ever incorpor-
ated in the Republican Platform was the
Declaration of Independence, which, we
take it, is about as high law as can be
reached. But this is only in ''bad taste."
We suppose that the deiunct means, the dis
position of the Republican Party not to ac-
cept the decisions of the Supreme Court as
the Constitution.
1t is one of the mysteries of the world of
spirits that this one should be recalled to
earth by the conservative reaction which re-
iects non-submission to the decisions of the
Supreme Court, as finality, when he has
been so long waiting among the lost polit-
ical spirits, for the restoration of the Mis-
souri, Compromise, which, four years ago,
was declared unconstitutional by the
Supreme Court. But it would be unreason-
able to expect conference under such circum-
stances. 1t was to be expected that the
things of the living and the dead world
would be somewhat confused at first, and it
is not at all strange that the latter should
most occupy the mind. We congratulate the
Republicans on their acquisition, and on the
destiny of their party as revealed from the
spirit-world. Ghost-time has come. 1t is
the witching hour when political sepulchers
yawn, and give up their dead, and of course
it is no time for the living to be about. Their
destiny will be fulfilled as soon as they have
elected Lincoln. Then the ghosts of the
Missouri Compromise will seize on him.

PIRE's OPKRA-HOUsE.--We entered the
Opera-house, last night, just in time TO hear the
manager say that Miss Plunlsett, for some cause
wholly unknown, had not made her appearance,
and that Hatty Warren had kindly consented to
enact "Kate 0'Brien,' the comedietta Of Pegtec-
fon. Angels must be blonde; and we knew she
would suggest perfection even If she did not play it,
and we remained. Tho farce, owing to the elegant
mann ors Of Mr.. Mortimer, the excellent acting Of
Mr. Hale who, by the way, deserves more notice
than he has yet received; the sweet faoo and petite
figure Of Miss Warren and the clever impersonations
of Mr.. flanagan and Miss Leclerc went of in quite
lively manner, and sent the audience away in the
most pleasant mood imaginable.
Geraldine drew very fashionable and critical
audience, informed although it was not
large. 1t is represented as having been we'll put
upon the stage, and the acting of Kate Bateman is
said to have been highly applaudod. II will be re-
peated this evening, in connection with aughablo
farce.
NATIONAL THEATER.-Jane Coombs, an
actress who has power, comeliness, intellect and
culture sufficient to render her exceedingly clever,
if she would but rid herself of couple Of faults, Of
which we have heretofore spoken, performed
outlet last night to quito a fair audience. She
will appear, this evening, as "Parthenia, In the
somewhat meanin gless play of InOomor, part in
which she has been highly praised by the Eastern
press. The performance will conclude with Il Con-
jugdl Lesson.

fIetta Troupe gave much pleasure to largo audi
last evening, at this theater where they again
appear tonight in the ballet of Esnerdda and the

The N.de-Avokes-Tbeir Ob,ect

The rapid and mysterious organization,
extent, immense number and military dis
cipline of the Wide-awakes in the North is
exciting much comment in Southern Jour-
mails. 1t is suspected of being a military or
ganization, intended to back Mr.. Lincoln in
taking possession of the Executive office, in
case he is elected, and in putting down any
attempt at secession on the part of the
South. There is much in the movements of
this organization that gives color to this
idea. Their drills are frequent, and pro-
tracted to late hour. Although but brief
time has elapsed since this organization was
known, they already show remarkable
discipline.
A number of Southern guests at the New
York Hotel aided by some city roughs, un-
dertook, few days ago. to break up a Wide
awake procession that was passing, when
the commander gave the word-"Wide-
awakes, charged upon which they brought
their torch-staves to horizontal position,
and charged with the promptness and speed
of zouaves, clearing the street in a moment.
When it is considered that the number of
Grand Army, the Importance of this element
in case of actual resistance to the inaugural
ton of a President, looms upon the imagin-
alton.
Not being engaged in party politics, we
paid but little attention to this new feature
ntil our notice was attracted tolthe matter
by Southern papers, and by the remarkable
discipline shown in a sudden emergency, in
the New York Hotel incident. 1t may be
that while the South have been spending
this vigor in Illuminating threats to resist the
Inauguration ofLincoln, and to break up the
Union, these young Republicans have taken
them at their word, and have prepared them
selves accordingly. 1t is possible that they
believe the Union really in danger, and have
made this organization to save it, instead of
abandoning their sectional party organiza-
ton, like good, Union-loving citizens. How
ever misguided their zeal, this formidable
element must be taken into consideration, in
any ulterior measures which the South may
resolve upon in case of Lincoln's election, to
preserve their rights

Important from Europe,

Victor Emanuel seems to be initiating
his great patron. He announced his inten-
tion OF invading the States of the Church.
and followed it up at once. He has taken
Perugia-the city which was pillaged by
the Papal troops last year-and another
town. The Pope's free-corps, under La
moriciere, is estimated at 10000, and it was
reported that he could bring 10000 troops
into the field to oppose Sardinia; but the
movement of Victor Emanuel was so
prompt that LamOriciere probably had no
time to concentrate any additional force, and
he is reported as beaten. In the mean time
Louis Napoleon looks on meekly while these
cat-paws are raking the Italian chestnuts

down his monkey paw in the game. He has
been fired at but not hit, which is taken as
evidence that the man was insane.

every day. DesertiOns are constantly sa-
king place from the Democratic ranks
majority of those deserving. having been
among the foremost in striving for Doug
las nomination but now that no has it,
they End that he comes in shape they
cannot swallow.
In New York City alone, it is said that
there are 10, 900 voters connected with the
Lincoln Clubs, who have never voted .
Republican ticket heretofore.
In Ohio, a large number oil old Dem
ocrats have "coms out from among the
foul party"
In Indians, nearly the whole OF the
German vote, which has heretofore been
Democratic, has come out for Lincoln.
In Illinois, q number Of active Doug,
las partisans. together with hundreds
of tho rank and file, have Joined the Lin
coin standard. In Egypt. the revolution
is tremendous. It will give such . Re-
publican vote, in November, that its old
acquaintance will not recognize it.
In the city of Milwaukee. Wisconsin.
over 1000 Democratic Germans have
come over to Lincoln.
In Iowa, the stampede extends to every
nook and corner Of the State, and EN-
braces many prominent politicians.
The Piqus %. } Enquirer, a Democrat
ic paper of some eleven years standing.
has hauled down the Douglas flag. and
raised that of Lincoln. The editor had
been q zealous Douglas man, from the
time Of the division on the Leeompton
question, and contended that the Doug

saw rank Disnnionist placed on the

So it goes, all over tho country. Dem.
