THE SECESSION RESULTS vs.. THE UNION.

In sosthen cline, when negroes shise,
And cotton bales are plenty;
Where men are fierce, and money scarce,
And whaves and hsrLors empty;
Where men and boys ara full Of noise,
Who boast of theft and treason;
Defy the law, asd talk Of war,
r Devoid Of wit or reasonI
soch men Of might, 90 full Of eight,
- who seem chuck fall Of thundsr.

And save their strength Cor plumber.
Cunning and bold, was one OF old,
He got mess or pottags;
One rebel fair, hung BY the hair.
And k< lost all his poIidse. r~-
One rebel "troop was swallowed up"
-' Which caused world wide shouting;
The southen crew we must ssbdue-
The world approves their routing.
They steal our arms-raiss false alarms
Commence the war at Sumter;
They Ere some squibs-tell many 6bs,
Deceptions without number.
For we think, and only wink,
They call it Abolition;
Discard the North ~ only froth,
And that they call secession.
Their cotton bales now take the rails
To Northern ports. for shipping,
Where vessels sail by every gale,
And Yankees get good picking.
Our ships 60 full to Johnny Bull,
And gold returns excessive;
We take the chink, with nod and wink
Decidedly expressive.
We hold our grip, and We will ship
King corn as well as cotton,
And keep our hold upon the gold,
Whore negroes are forgotten.
And how they groan about loan,
SO paliry for a nation;
They cant relax their negro tax,
Nor dodge reputation.

the nomination for Governor. The plat
form is one upon which we can stand, and
the nominees such as we can support
Whatever we may have heretofore de-

Now that union has been effected,
there can be nothing TO divide the sincere
friends Of the Government in this State.
Some may be radical, some conservative /;
yet, without sacrificing any cherished
principle, all who have the interests OF
the country at heart, can stand upon the
platform and support the nominees Of the
Union Convention.
Then let us all, whatever may have
been our former differences, forgetting
that we have been partisans, and remem

Horrible Catastrophe in Missouri

The telegraph brings the intelligence of
the destruction of railroad bridge over
Plato River, nine miles from st. Joseph, by
which whole passenger train, containing
about ono hundred persons, was precipi,
tated into the rivor, and seventeen killed
and many horribly mangled.
The bridge was a substantial work ono
hundred and fifty feet span, ana about
thirty-five above tho river. Tho timbers of
the bridge had been burned underneath the
track until they would sustain but littlo
moro than their weight. The fro was thon
extinguis he'd, leaving the bridge mere
Bhell. The train bringing from oighty-fvc
20 hundred passengers, including women
and children, reached tho river at II O'Clock
at night, and the bridge looking secure
passed on. but no sooner had tho locomotive
measured its length upon tho bridge thar
some forty or fifty yards of the strlctur,
gave way, precipitating tho entiie train int,
the abyss below.
All the seats in the passenger coache
were torn and showed in front, throwing
mon, women and children in promiscuou
heap down the declivity and burying then
among the crushed timbers, or throwing
them out of tho cars through tho broker
sides, and jagged pieces of flooring impale,
some. Some were mangled by machiner,
tearing through tho timbers, and seyera
were caught between planks pressing to
gether like vice. Others wore stuck b.
parts of the roof as il came down with might
force. Still others were cut with pieces O
glass. while wounds and blood and agOn
prevailed all over tho frightful scene
and shrieks of pain were mingled vii.
cries of terror. In this way the tive las
cars of tho train went down, pitching tn
passengers into the wreck, or throwing thou
into the water, which at this point is abou
foot and half in depth.
Only three persons, Mr.. J. W. Parkol
Superintendent Of the u. S. Express, MI
Mars, Mail Agent, and Mr.. Hogan, wer
able to afford assistance to the suffering
the remainder OF those who wero not kille
outright, being so disabled as to be holples
After doing all that il was possible for thos
requiring immediate attendance, Mr.. Hoee
at midnight. left the wreck to 60 to st. 10
soph for medical and other assistance. ii
walked Ave miles of the way when he fonn
hand car, upon which no proceeded th
remainder Of tho journey.
Two hundred yards west OF the bridge
he discovered a heavy oak railroad ii
strongly strapped across tho track, and tw,
