SINGULAR VERlFlUATIoN OF \ PR0ruECy.-A cor
respondent of the Petersburg Express gives the
following:
have heard of a singular circumstance in con-
nection with the affair at Vienna on Monday last
in which a prophecy was literally fulfilled. \
gentleman who is in our army, while on visit last
winter to his brother-in-la~ in Ohio, urged him
to leave that hot-bed Of Aboonism and come to
Virginia. The latter replied that he would come,
but it would be with gun in his hand, to crush
the rebels. " IF you come on such an errand,
predict you will run away" replied the Indignant
S0utherner. The prediction seems to have been
speedily accomplished for blanket with the full
name Of the invader found near the railroad
track, where the enemy lied to the woods.

Collision OF Trains on the Mobile and Ohio
Railroad.


Railroad.
TWO MEN KILLED AND TWENTY-FIVE WOUNDED.
We extract the following particulars OF fatal
accident which occurred on the Mobile and Ohio
Railroad from the Mobile Register and Advertiser
of the 3Oth ult.:
The non-arrval of the passenger train, due yes
terday morning al 81 O'Clock, CEASED some anxiety
in the city, which became intensified as the day
wore away without udngs of the train, and grave
fears of accident were entertained. At about P.
NJ. the train finally arrived and made certain what
was before superstition and dread. It brought
tidngs of serious accident which occurred on the
upper division OF the road resulting in considerable
damage to the Company, and what is Of far greater
consequence, loss Of life and serious injury to
many who survived the disaster And then the
fact that this deporabe accident was the result Of
gross negligence or worse on the part of the en-
gneer and conductor of the train made the disaster
more terrible. We hope the culprits, who have
sought to escape, will be unprecedented and made
to snler the seyerest penalties known to the laws
for their outrageous conduct in thus trifling with
the lives OF military company entrusted TO their
care.
We subjon such particulars as we have been
able, after diigent inquiry, to obtain, and doubt
not the Indignation is reliable as far as it goes
1t appears that on Thursday night a special train
with company Of cavalry, comprising sixty men
and their horses, bound North, came in collision
with regular freight train, southwark bound This
collision occurred near Trenton, Tenn. Twenty
i've OF the soldiers were wounded; two so badly
that 1t Is thought they cannot possibly recover.
Only one horse was killed. The damage to the
company, it is estimated, is not less than $1,000.
The locomotives were stove against each other,
or, as our informant expresses it, the smoke
stacks stood huggng,' detying all efforts at sepa-
ration. Several of the cars were materially dam
aged. The conductor and engineer of the up tran
seeing the terrible disaster inevitable, took to the
woods. The soldiers on the train became indg
nant and excited at the carelesSness of these Of
fcials and would have administered summary
punishment upon them, had they been overtaken.
But, during the confusion attendant upon the dis
aster, the fugitives got too much the start and
eluded pursuit.
The above are all the facts we could obtain,
which are meagre and imperfect, necessarily so, as
our Informant was not at the scene of the catas-
trophe, and received his information secondhand
at Corinth. We shall doubtless get the full par
ticulars in a day Or two. There seems TO be no
doabt that the disaster was the result Of criminal
negligence or recklessness on the part of the en-
gneer ana conductor.

/ and on the consequent operations OF merchants.
| Every man would know what to do and what he
might safely venture, But as the crop is merely
astttfled, and ightany day be liberated and come
| forward, no one knows how to act or how far to
venture. To make the matter plain, let US assume
some conjectural figures Say, that If we are not
to have the United States crop, the fair price of
1 Uplands would be 1sd u ID. The consumer buys
st this rate the merchant sends out his orders to
| Egypt and Bombay at these or corresponding
limits. If war Is persisted in, and the blockade
continues strict and effective, the operators make
large profits. II the belligerents make up their
differences get sick of the dispute, or accept the
mediation of England and France, and the blockade
is raised-and no one can say that this is not any
and every day upon the cards-the price of cotton
falls Inevitably to 3d. and the operators are utterly
| ruined. No wonder that men of character and
wealth decline committing themselves TO so her,
rible risk.
They remember 1925, when Middling Orleans
which was Sd. in January, rose to lSd. in MAY and
fell again to Cd. in December The ruin that en-
sued was ffightful, and the terrible warning has
not been forgotten. The plain truth is that the
iafnre OF cotton is SO thoroughly and hopelessly
uncertain and incalculahe. that only reckless men
dare NEEDLE with it boldly; and, in consequence,
the price is advancing far too slowly and timidly
to meet the emergeney--if that emergency should
occur. 1t is too low to command the cotton we
shall want from India, if the American crop really
fail us; and it will remain too low as long as the
calamtons hypothesis we are considering is con-
sidered by the commercial community as proble-
matte or improbable. This is in reality our great
est danger, and We DO not see how it can be
averted. As the months roll on, and bring no
prospect of settlement December arrives,
and the blockade continues as strict, and the pas
sions OF the combatants as exasperated as ever (f
such should be the course of eyents)--tten we
shall take the alarm and cotton will run up to
fabulous prices. But then it will be too late for
even those rates to bring the augmented Indian
supply to mitigate our famine.
