Military and Naval Movements.

Some English traveller in this country
once said that tho Americans expect evcry-
thing to DO done in tweuty minutes. Tho
force OF the remark has been strongly IL.
lustrated by tho recent popular camor
about tho inactivity of tho present Admin
istration. In thoir foverIsh impatienco for
nows tho people havo forgotten that it is
but q single month since Mr. Lincoln and
bis Cabinet entered upon Of!co, at a period
when tho whole machinery OF Government
had become rotten and disOrganizod, partly
through treason, and partly through i'm
bocility whom tho Treasury was empty, the
Army and Navy scattercd to tho remotest
stations, tho nation msropresentod abroad,
and at home every department swarmlng
with spies and traitors. To remedy these
gigantic disorders, to collect tho army aud
navy. to purity tho Departments, and to
select and send trustworthy representatives
to foreign Courts, was certainly work enough
tor ono month. Tho immense responsible

great amount of time, even whom prosocu-

Frightful Railroad Accident---Woman
and Child Killed, and Another Child
Seriously Injured-.-The Danger Of
Walking on Railroad Tracks.

A terrible accident occurred on Friday,
on the track Of the Cleveland & Erie Rail
road, about two miles east Of Euclid
station, by which two lives were lost, and
a third placed in great danger. The facts
Of this mournful tragedy are as follows
AT the point mentioned the railroad
track is crossed at right angles with the
public roadway. Another road crosses
The track diagonally at short distance
east of the main road, then runs parallel
with the track, and at p few rods north
ward from it, until it joins the main road.
In the space thus enclosed is cottage
occupied by man named WhaIen, with
bis family and aged mother. The family
we're moving TO another cottage near the
main road and souLhward OF the track
Friday afternoon, about four O'CLOCK,
Whalen and another man took some OF the
furniture and went towards his new home,
taking the way by the public roads. AT
the sane time his mother, about oo years
old, carrying an arm(ul OF gools, and,
accompanied by two of the children, little
Girls ared four and six years respectively,
set out for the same destination along he
track, although it was known that the ac-
commodation train from Cleveland was
nearly due. Near the crossing Of the
main road The track is intersected by
"cattie guard" or pit crossed by ties
placed wide apart. Just before the
woman and children had reached this
point the accommodation train came in
sight. The engineer whisiled repeatedly,
supposing they would get off the track, it
being usual thing for persons TO be on
the track on that as on other portions Of
the line. Just before the train came near
her the woman left the track, and for the
first time, the engineer saw the two chill
dren. He al once whistled down brakes,
reversed the engine, and did all in his
power to stop the train. The woman ran
back to the track, and appeared to be
helping the children over the cattle guard
to the main road instead Of taking them
off on the bank, when the train rushed on
them, and knocked them into the cattle
guard, Instantly killing the woman and
youngest child, and injuring the older
child so thai there is great danger Of hel
death also.
Terrible as this tragedy is, neither the
Railroad Company nor its officers can be
held responsible for it. All the ordinary
precautions were taken as soon as the
persons were first seen on the track, and
when it became evident that they would
not save themselves, every possible effort
was made 10 ayers the calamity that oc

during the time Of their fairs, within
certain distances.
Some Democratic meanness was ex-
hibited in the House or Tuesday, by an
attempt 10 repeal the law passed little
time since, authorizing the Fund Com
missioners Of the State to guaranty U. s.
bonds TO the amount Of the States pro-
portion of the surplus revenue. As the
old Administration had gone out and a
new one come in, they seemed dcsirous, IL
possible, TO cripple that Administration,
or, at all events, TO show want Of con-
Iidence in ii. The move was defeated,
however.
The Senate, this afternoon, passed the
act providing for the draining Of marshy
lands upon the Cuyahoga River, in which
some Of your readers are Interested
Since the bill for leasing the Public Works
has been in that body, the subject has
been complicated by various bills having
been put in, some, perhaps, with honest
purpose, and others, very likely, to pre-
vent action. 1t now seems probable that
some lease bill will pass both branches,
but when, or in what form, is doubtful.
The Dislr;cting question yet remains
undisposed Of. No plan has been fixed
upon which all Republicans will support,
and il is understood no Democrat will vote
for any plan which may be proposed. 1t
is hoped an agreement will be reached on
Monday evening. No resolution for final
adjournment has passed, but il is under
stood that the session will probably close
in about Two weeks. L.

The Administration, while constantly
declaring n peace policy, claims that it
can only be held to strict accountability
by the people, and, however speculative
may be the publications respecting its
movements, it is under no obligation to

reinforced, admits Of no doubt, and the
Administration will do all in its power to
relieve Anderson, or secure his evacuation
OF Sumter without dishonor or committing
TIE Government to the acknowledgment
of any right or claim by the Confederate
States, or in any way recognizing the doc
trine Of secession.
The proceedings the Gulf beyond the
relief of Pickens, will be governed by
circumstances.
The above is from reliable sources, 10

preparations.
