TERRIBLE RAILROAD CATAsTRoPHE-SUP
POSED TO BE THE WORK OF TRAIToRs.- Gin
cINNATI Sept. l8.-Last night at half past
eight O'Clock train on the Ohio and Missis
sippi Railroad, containing portion of Col
Turchin's Nineteenth Illinois Regiment, while
passing over a bridge near Huron, Indiana,
LAG miles west of Cincinnati, fell through,
killing and wounding over 100 soldiers. In
tellgence of the disaster reached here last
night, and q special train was detached to
their assistance Bridge No 49 broke in two.
1t let four cars down in the bed of the creek,
and one on top of them. The engine and one
car passed over safely. There was about 100
men wounded and ten or twelve killed The
Colonel Of the regiment says there are about
that number killed, although nearly all of one
company are missing. ltis thought the bridge
was weakened by some fiendish person.
CINCINNATI, Sept. 1S-LATER,-The acci-
dent on the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad
proves worse than first reported. -Four pas
senger cars went into the creek and one box
and one buggy car on top Of them. These
cars contained 250 men of companies +. F,
and |. The latter was the principal suf-
ferer Captain Howard, of Company l. is
killed, and up to this time thirty dead bodies
have been taken out and more are under the
wreck. 1t is the impression at the wreck
that from forty to fifty are killed Crcum-
stances indicate that the bridge had been
tampered with by malicious persons. The
bridge was sixty feet span ten feet high, and
had lately been inspected.

about ten feet. The crowd thought and hoped
that the fall had broken bis neck; but, strange
to say, in a few minutes he recovered, as
though nothing had happened, and began to
plead Justify for his life. The law, however,
was inexorable and the gallows being BY this
time rearranged the rope was again placed

GEN. MCCLELLAN. The Worlds Washing
ton correspondence has the following in regard
TO the position of affairs along the Potomac
Rebel Generals are still gorgeous on the
summit of the enemys position, directing glas-
ses and mounting guns towards our outermost
works. Such, in fact, having made my usual
rounds | believe to have been the condition
up TO IL o'clock this day.
No one out General Mcclellan knows how
long this condition is to last. He has several
times reconnoitered the rebel movements, and
other Generals have suggested to him the
Importance Of driving them of, before they
are so strong as to make the attack bloody
affair. To which the commandments
replies that he sees things here and elsewhere,
and shall not strike until he IS prepared. |
have said in previous letters that Munsons
Hill is not near enough to bother US greatly,
except as q base for the enemys advances. Ii
Mcclellan chooses to carry it, 1t will be be-
cause any brilliant little affair adds to our
prestige, and not because he wishes to extend
his lines. Our Potomac length of forts, lun-
cites, and breastworks is the most complete
defence ever constructed in single season,
and why should we advance from it for for
ward movement? | think our greatest surety
of future success lies in the determination not
to fail, which our new commander has aYowed
to his friends. From the latter, gather that
he is entirely sensible of the risk which wed
the great honor of his elevation; that he
knows failure would involve his fall beyond
redemption that the bitterness of his ruin
would be proportioned to the swiftness of his
rise and that he has made covenant with
himself that the extreme of human certainty
shall prelude and attend his every movement.
These facts, said to be derived from his own
lips, mention incidentIy, as Munson's Hill is
hardly sufficiently important text for so in
teresting statement. If the enemy attack us
before we resume the offensive, the General
must of course adapt himself to the contngen-
cy as best he may.

MANGANEsE-The claims of Hiscox, Lewis
Co., located on Buckeye Hill, have yielded
such a variety of metals as to render them
somewhat an object of note They were open
ed and worked for the gold they contained
This valuable mineral gradually disappeared
and copper, slightly mingled with silver, took
its place. Plumbago was asserted to be the
next of its products and the suppositious
specimens submitted for scientific Investigation
led to an erroneous confirmation of this belief
Several articles were written on the subject by
editors to whom the imaginary plumbago had
been shown. 1t now turns out, however, that
the fancied plumbago is no more nor less than
the black oxyd Of mangauese-a mineral COM
pound possessed of some value, and used
principally in the formation of chlorine for the
manufacture of bleaching powners, and in fur
nishing oxygen gas for other chemical purpo-
ses. One piece of the oxyd of manganese
taken from these claims weighed over twenty
pounds San Juan Press

We clip the following items from the Sac,
ramento Union:
BRIGADIER GENERAL OF CALIFORNIA Vol
UYrEERs.-Captain E. 0. G. Ord, whose ap-
pointment as Brigadier- General has already
been noticed. is brother of Judge Ord, Of
Monterey. He is not as old in the service as
most of the officers belonging to his regiment,
and his appointment elevates him over officers
whose rank and commission take precedence of
bis own. OF course the appointment is only
for the volunteer service. We have heard it
intimated that Captain Ord has been given
the position originally assigned to J. W. Den
yer. Nothing has been heard of the latter
person since the news of his appointment was
received, and it may be that he has either de.
clined it, or the Government learning more
particularly of his sentiments and actions, has
withheld his commission
For FoRT CHURoHILL.-During the past
week some two hundred tons of Government
stores, which were brought up from San Fran
cisco some two or three weeks ago, have been
sent by means of teams from this city to Fort
Churchill. This quantity, it is calculated, will
be sufficient to meet the demands Of the Winter
season. There is still large quantity in store
on Front street, which will probably go to sup
ply our volunteer camps.

CAvE.-A cave has been discovered in the
range OF mountains east Of Carson River, and
but few miles from the coal regions, that is
quite curiosity. 1t has a large mouth or
opening facing to the west the chamber is
about thirty feet in diameter, and eighteen feet
high. The roof is ornamened by stalactites,
and the floor covered with petrifactions of a
vegetable and animal nature. The cave seems
to be situated in an extensive limestone forma-
ton, and must have been the resort of animals
from time immemorial. A party prospecting
for coal were the discovcrers. They say that
the appearance of the cave, when lighted up,
is gorgeous.

he never went within five miles of, was the

FORTRESS MONROE, Sept. 5, 1861

oAAn u1ONhOE, Dept. -, lOOl.
BY the Harriet Lane and Monticello (the
latter convoy to the former), direct from Hat
'eras yesterday afternoon, we have intelligence
OF the highest Importance On the surrender
OF Forts Hatteras and Clark, the rebels evacu-
ated Their works at Ocracoke and Oregon In
lets, abandoned their much vaunted "Coast
Detences." spiked their guns and fled to the
interior, leaving works and Notifications, con-
structed at great expense and labor, to be oc.
cupled by the Federal forces. On the ap,
proach of the Monticello white flags were
raised in several places. The Susquehana left
yesterday to occupy Ocracoke Inlet, and in
Oregon Inlet ships will no doubt be sunk
Fort Macon, on Beaufort bay, alone remains.
1t has fifty guns, GA and 80 Founders.
The most gratifying portion of the informa-
tlon received from Hatteras is the fact that
the North Carolnians were flocking to the
standard of the Union. Colonel Hawkins ad-
ministered the oath of allegiance to between
two and three hundred in one day, until they
came in such numbers that they were dismiss
ed without the formal oath. They expressed
great JOY over the success OF the Federal arms,
and ask that they may have the protection of
the Government, which in their hearts they
never ceased to honor, and to which they
ceased to render active support only when
overawed by the tyranny Of JEFF. Davis
Numbers came in boats across the Pamico
Sound to declare their allegiance, express their
joy and ask that the Federal forces might ex-
tend their cruise and march to the inner coast
OF the State, where they represent the true
Union sentiment still prevails, and will mani
fest itself in strong battalons, if arms and
leaders can only be insured to them. The
rebels are in the greatest CONSERVATION, and
the leaders are represented as fleeing in every
direction. Correspondents ~ Y. Tribune.

A TERRIBLE PARsoN IN BArrLE-We have
about come to the conclusion that the war
correspondents for the Southern papers can
beat those of the North A correspondent of
the Memphis Appeal says:
Parson Rippeton, Methodist preacher,
and captain of a Virginia company, performed
prodigies of valor at the first taking of Sher-
mans battery flor it was taken, then lost then
taken again. He cut the throats of the hor-
ses, and then engaged Lieutenant Sherman in
hand to hand conflict with sabers After a
ten minutes fght-both being accomplished
swordsmen-he severed Sherman's head from
his body at one blow"
We had a pleasant conversation with Gen.
Sherman in our office recently. and he did not
appear to be aware that he had been beheaded.
At any rate, he did not allude to the some
what interesting event. Possibly, however,
bis memory may have been affected by the
operation, for we cannot suppose the Southern
Parson would exaggerate. e.-Prouidence Jour.

HE Louisville Journal holds the following

The tolls which the treachery of John G.
Breckenridge Gov Magoffin, Gen. Buckner.
and others of that school have been weaving
for the State which has trusted them ruinously.
have eliminated in what all sensible men knew
they must reach-war upon the soil of Ken
lucky. Under the rule of Governor Magoffin
and the malicious counsels of John G. Breck-
inridge, the State has been repeatedly insulted.
with the connivanee of Magoffin, and he has,
from the first, played into the hands of the oDlv
enemies that Kentucky had upon the face of
the earth-the champions of the Southern
treason. His object has been at all times to
give Tennessee all possible opportunities for
her preparations, and to lull the Union men of
this Commonwealth into fatal security
W hen the Speakers of the two Houses waited
upon Magotfin with their dispatches from
GENERAL Grant, announcing the invasion of
kentucky by Tennesseeans, he coolly pulled
out dispatch from his confederate crony,
Governor Harris, giving him an account of the
invasion was without his knowledge or consent.
and that he would telegraph JEFF Davis on the
subject. Governor Magoffin had his informa.
ton and kept it secret until he discovered that
loyal men were in possession of it. He wanted
to give Tennessee all the time he could to per-
feet her work. Surely the members of the
Kentucky Legislature will not again trust
Governor Magofin in anything. The safety.
the peace, the welfare of the State require that
the representatives of the people shall quickly,
truly, fully and efectually perform the duty,
the solemn duty assigned them by their con,
stituents. The cajoleries, the Vaccinations,
the perversities of Governor Mafonin must no
longer cast their hateful shadows upon the
path of brave, free and intelligent people
