BALTIMORE, Feb. AT 2 o'clock this morn
ing the arrival of the train from Philadelphia at
the Susquehanna river the Express Mail and sleep
Ing were usual pushed upon the boat, but,
from some cause, probably by the ice upon the
track formed by the falling rain, too much head
way was gained, and the Express car went over
into deep water, the truck falling upon the plat
form of the lower deck. The passengers in the
sleeping car knew nothing of the accident until
some minutes elapsed. No doubt the ice on the
track prevented the brakes form checking the speed
of the cars The mailcar had narrow escape from
going over. The Mail agent jumped upon We
deck of the. steamer but the brakeman promptly
disconnected the coupling and saved the Car from
being drawn down.

ELECTION OF SPEAKER.

On Wednes1a the LIST inst, the House of Re-

VIM. Pennington of New Jersey, Black Republi-
can, as Speaker. The day before, Mr. Smith of
n. c., received 113 votes, all the democrats lex
cept the contemporaries who had previously
went over to the black republicans, and Allen of
Ohio, and Davis of Indana,) voting for him. On
Wednesday Mr. Smith withdrew his name, when
Pennington elected by l majority. This re-
suit effected by the vote of Henry Winter
Davis, the piug-ugly Representative from the city
of Baltimore, and Mr. Briggs, know-nothing, of n.
York. Davis has always been classed with the
Southern Opposition, but we never considered him
any better than Black Republican. Mr. Penn
ington was formerly Wing, until his connection
with the black republican party. He generally
voted for Sherman for Speaker.
The following is the telegraphic account of the
election
In the House, on the LIST, a vote for Speaker

Mr. Briggs, American, of New York, explained his
course and changed from McClernand Bloomington
Mr. Barksdale, in the course of the remarks
which he made, said 1T was even now in the
power of the South Americans, by uniting with the
Democrats, to defeat the election of Mr. Penning
ton. He asked the South Americans whether
they would not vote for Mr. McClernand.
Messrs Hill, Gilmer, Mallory, and others of the
South Americans, said that the defeat could not
thus be effected.
Mr. Barksdae resumed, saying on member of
the American party, Mr. Davis, from Maryland
would rest the responsibility Of the election Of Mr.
Pennington.
