COLLISION THE CENTRAL RoAD.-A collision
between two hog trains occurred before daylight
yesterday morning at Lewisville, on the Central
Road A way train left here hour in advance
of the through hog train the evening before. At
Lewisville the way train stopped on the bridge
east of the town. and run the locomotive the
switch to bring up some cars already loaded to
attach them to the train. The bridge is a high
one-say thirty forty feet above the water.
The engineer of the through train saw the rear
light of the stationary train distance off, but
supposed for time that it was in motion. Dis
covering that it was stationery when he reached
the down grade leading to the bridge long de-
scent however-he whistled down brakes and re-
versed his engine The brakemen were all asleep
and made no response, and the train slid along at
a rapid rate on the frosted rails The fireman
started back to put the brakes down but he
was only in time to get caught by one of his legs
between two cars when the collision took place
The locomotive was badly wrecked and thrown
over the timbers of the bridge, and it is
marvel she did not go through. A number of
cars were broken up and knocked crossways and
everyway, and the track was sorn up and spread
in places for a considerable distance But the
worst accident was to the fireman whose leg
was shockingly mangled in his efforts to save the
train. 1t was found necessary to cut away the
timbers ofthe cars to extricate him. The amount
of damage we have not learned. But few of the
hogs we understand were killed. The car in
which the owners of the hogs and the drowsy
breakman were sleeping had both ends stove in,
but no one was hurt in it. The passengers yes
teriay had to pass under the bridge from train to
train, but we presume the wreck will be cleared
away to-day.

The Sentiment of ,Tissouri.

A good many members of the Legislature from
various parts of the State, have been i'm the city
within day or two. So far as we have been able
to see them, we gratifed to hear that they are
entirely conservative in all their views in regard to
the present troubles between the North and the
South that they disposed to fight for the rights
of the slave States in the Union, rather than out
of the Union; that they will unite, if needs be, in
any convention of the slave States which shall
present, in distinct manner the grievances of
which they have right to complain, and which
are neither few nor unimportant; and that if the
free States, so long pursuing aggressive course
toward them, should refuse to do justice to them,
that they will then consider the mode and measure
of redress. But they not disposed to break up
this Union hastily, or without sufficient reason.
They have prospered under it until they have at
tained position second to only one other slave
State in the Confederacv, and they are not dis
posed to be put in false position by the acts of
South Carolina-giving about many votes in
the whole State as the county of St. Louis alone
or any other State whatever. They think it far
more prudent and patriotic to follow the lead of
Virginia. Maryland, Kentucky, Tennessee and
North Carolina, and with them to deliberate care
fully and patriotically before they engage in the
work of destroying the Union.-St. Louis Repub-

q" The New York correspondent of the Utica
Morning Herald has paid visit to the Central
Park skating pond; from his stletter we clip the
following:
There was one large matron wearing a thin
double skirted silk dress in which the wind played
fantastic antics-who wore on her head yellow
"rgglette," and could not stand upon her skates
an instant; who would fall down, dragging with
her every available man and boy, and who would
have looked better off the ice, but she was the
only one. There were others, swift as birds,
graceful as swans There was one lady most
appropriately dressed in a fur bound basque who
gave us the very poetry of motion. There was
perfect harmony in her long drawn curves; some
thing melodious dream in her swift gliding
grace. There was another young creature who
darted hither and thither, as if she had always
lived on the ice. There was perfect abandon in
her sport she hilarious vet utterly graceful
in her glee. Slender and dainty footed as fawn,
her soft blue dress looped from gay balmoral
wearing black basquine and black velvet hat
with pink rose in her hair, she flew over the ice
now circling in waltz-now following her papa
at the end of shawl now hying away with
another in her arms, who could skate as well
wherever she went she was followed by hundreds
of admiring eyes-the women praised her-and
the gentlemen fell in love with her How ewes
frightened with new beams, how the cheeks of
our japonicas bloome1 with roses, / can hardly
tell. What a pastime for metropolitan bellies?
what a pastime for the weary people? THE
drive was full of carriages, the rambe was
thronged with people-husbands and wives lead
ing their children; young men and madens; gen
tlemen and ladies mounted on horseback, their
plumes floating out into the blue air. added to the
picturesque beauty of the scene. SO much for
our winter skating carnival.

A Happy New Year.

We present the Sentinel to its readers this morn
ing in an entire new dress, and the prOprietors
hatter themselves that no paper in the West pre-
sents neater typographical appearance. We
take this occasion TO express our acknowledge
ments for the many favors we have received from
the public. and we trust that enterprize and
efforts to serve them viii place US under not only
continued. but increased obligations.
We commence New Year with dark clouds
upon the political horizon. The future looks
gloomy. A spirit of anarchy and disloyalty to
the Government pervades the land. A nation in
its youth, with the elements of power and wealth
unequalled by any other, seems tottering to
its downfall We know not what Providence
may have in store for US, but we trust the
lowering clouds which hang like pail over
the country, may soon yield to bright and hopeful
skies. May fraternity and unity again animate
the hearts of the people of all sections. These
sentiments will prevail, if the patriotism of the
fathers has descended to their sons. The task of
healing the discord and dissension which now
exist is light in comparison with the conflicts of
opinions and interests which were reconciled by
the trainers of the Republic. Let US bury parti-
asperties and party strfes, and in the spirit of
Cancellation and accommodation, by which it was
established, renew and strengthen the foundations
upon which this beautiful fabric of government
rests. To allay sectional animosities and oblt-
crate geographical divisions are the first steps to-
wards reunion
Can we not tolerate the institutions that our
Fathers conceded or established, we wiser,
better and purer than they Their patriotism
was severely tested. They proved their love Of
country by the pledge of their lives, their for
tunes and their sacred honOrs. And after they
had achieved independence by great personal
sacrifices, to gain united Government the
representatives of the North and the South
yielded their preconceived opinions, theories and
prejudices- To preserve the Union the same
spirit must prevail now.
Whatever may be the termination of the polit
cal difficulties of the country, and it is our first
with that we may remain united States, we sim
cerely hope that individual happiness and pros
perity may attend our readers during the year We
this dag enter upon.

s75""Woud heart of man once think itl' Yet
the whole press of the "Great West" confesses
that indigestion prevails more extensively among
its farming population than anywhere else in the

pork-too much salt pork-too much saleratus

only fifteen minutes to a meal, and then rushing
away to the field to laborious work on a hastily

rE- The man Butler, who accidentally set him
self on fire and communicated the flames to a
house on West street on Saturday night, was up
before the Mayor yesterday. He is an utterly
worthless vagabond, and it would have been an
act of charity to let him burn up where he had
made his nest, if it could have been done without
destroying the property. He was discharged, as
he could only be held as a vagrant, and the city
did not feel disposed to feed him.

EGYfTIAS WHEAT-We were shown, on Tues
day, a head of Egyptian wheat, raised near Han
over, Jefferson county, by Wm- H. Duncan. 1t
must be extraordinarily prolific. The head in
question was as large as medium sized nubbin of
corn, and was filed with grains. The grain is
smaller than our ordinary Mediterranean wheat,
and differently shaped. Mr. Duncans father had
the specimen we speak of, and he intends to go
into the cultivation oft, starting from the head he
showed us.
