From Boston.

BosTeN, Nov. 81.
The drop ofthe Charlestown bridge was
open this morning when the way passen-
ger train from Maiden went through
The train consisted of engine, tender,
smoking car and three passenger cars
The weather was very dark and foggy and
the train going quite slowly. The engine
and tender plunged into the river. The
smoking car, in which were a number
of passengers, was thrown forward
with all the passengers in a heap. The
remaining cars were uncoupled in time to
avoid taking the plunge. Many of the
passengers escaped by jumping out of the
windows and swimming, while to Others
planks were thrown. Four dead bodies
had been recovered. 1t is thought that
these included all the killed. Several
passengers were more or less injured, but
fortunately none very severely. IL ap-
pears that there was not more than fifteen
or twenty persons in To- smoking car.

New York, Nov. %.

The Herald has a F~ernandina letter OF
the 10th, giving and account of the bonn,
bardment of st. Mary's by the gunboat
Mohawk. The troops landed were fired
upon, and one man was wounded. The
rebels mustered strongly, ~whereupon the
Mohawk commenced to fire shells for 70
minutes into the town, but stopped as a
female bearing a flag of truce approached
the ship.
A Lieutenant went ashore to meet her;
on his return the ship hauled off, intend
ing to return to Fernandina, when the
rebels fred a volley of musketTy at the
ship, which then returned abreast the
town and kept up a fire for an hour and
half reducing half the place to ashes.
Almost every house was injured.
Previous to firing the second time, the
Captain invited all the women on board
his ship, but they declined. No guns
were aimed at the house in which they
encsonced themselves.

A REVELATION FRoN CASTLE THUNDER--
alexander Young, an aged man sent from
Tennessee, died IA the Castle on Saturday"
Such is the announcement that comes
to us in the Richmond Examiner of last
Monday as a fit commentary on the Rebel
rule at Richmond. Could the walls oi
Castle Thunder"-as they seem to de-
light in terming it-reveal their dread Sc
crets, they would doubtless tell stories OF
the horrors witnessed there such as to drive
the American people almost beside them
selves with fearful regretstha any portion
of this continent could have witnessed
wrongs like this as the fruits of an ac-
cursed rebellion.
At a glance, the whole story of the
wrongs of gallant Tennessee seem com
pressed in these two lines. Not a con-
Wet not disgraced by crime, because for
his W State and every State provides a
place but a patriot, an ''aged man" trans
ported all the distance from Tennessee to
Virginia to perish beneath the shadow OF
tribunal set up by jefferson Davis, because
his crime was a steadfast love for the I'm
ion to which he had been devoted through
a long life.
And vet these prison-keepers are the
men loud in favor of the writ of habeas
corpus, tender of the rights of the citizen,
tolerant o opinion the ones in whose be-
half and whose name the rebel General
Lee came to offer relief to "d~own-trodden
Maryland" Only when the sink of in
guilty" is cleared out at Richmond by the
entrance of the Federal armies, will the
world learn of the horrors that have been
enacted under the rule of Jefferson Davis
and Benjamin only then will Maryland
learn what she has really escaped by re-
naming by the Union.-Bah,nlore Ameri-

RAILROAD TO GREEN BAY.-The opening
of the Northwestern Railroad to Green
Bay, has made a winter connection be-
tween that end of the earth and the rest
of mankind. The distance by railroad
from Chicago is 242 miles. The route is
through a rich, growing country, and will
prove a great convenience to winter trade
and travel to Lake Superior. As soon as
spring opens, a line of stages will run reg
ularly across the Peninsula, in connection
with u steamer on Green Bay, from Little
Bay du Noquet to Marquette, on Lake Su-
perior. The distance is only fifty miles.
Time from Chicago to Marquette thirty
six hours.
The route of a railroad across the PENN
sula is now being surveyed, and it is in
tended to construct the road the coming
year. A railway is already in operation
to the iron mines from Marquette, and it
requires but forty-seven miles more to con-
meet it with Green Bay.

The I'd Ohio Cavalry.

We learn by a gentleman Just from Fort
Scott, the following in regard to the I'd
Ohio Cavalry. About two hundred are
encamped neal Fort Scott, and the bal
ance fit for duty, are OF duty in the AR
my of the Frontier" having been special
w detailed by General Blunt, command
ing. Two batteries of 100 men each and
the body guard of Brigadier General Sol
ONION, all commanded by Kansas and
Wisconsin Captains, have been detailed,
and about 100 men are acting as clerks in
the department, also the provost guard at
Fort Scott of about 100 men are from the
ID, under command of First Lieutenant
Pike. For the balance of the l,2OO that
left Cleveland a year ago, ask the plains
of Kansas, the hospital at Fort Scott, and
look at the discharges on certificates of
disability caused by severe service. The
health of the Regiment is now quite good,
there being but few in the hospital. Sur
geon Taylor had come to Ohio on a sick
furlough, and Lieutenant Townsend was
very low with fever all the other officers
were on duty so far as known, and under
the admiral care of Assistant-Surgeon
Smith the men will have every comfort

AFFAIRS IN NAsHvILLE.-The beauties
of this rebellion come up to the mouths
and enter the very bellies of secessionists
in this place. Would that they only were
to be affected. Coffee is not to be had at
81 per pound, sugar IS cents, chickens IS
cents to 81 each, coal at 81 per bushel-
formerly plenty at 8 cents, &c. &c. Wood
at SIS per cord. A meal at a restaurant
or hotel from IS cents to 81, and only
bread, meat, and tea or coffee at that
The hotels are beggarlY affairs-at the st.
Cloud, last night and this morning, only
bread and meats on the table, and tea or
coffee; window glass gone, blinds and fur
niture away, no crowd there, three or four
walters in the dining room, and a most
w~oe-begone air about the premises. How
different from my last sojourn at this well
kept house. The house has been closed
for several weeks because of the want OF
eatables, and Just reopened as Union ar
mics enter and daylight appsars.-Nash-

Intervention.

oflate, the rebel papers have little to
say respecting foreign intervention
That ~favorite dream from which they were
wont TO devise so much comfort, is bro
ken. No power in Europe is anxious to
provoke @ war with the United States for
the mere purpose of sustaining slavery.
However willing some of the princes and
mobiles might be to aid in dismembering
the only truly republican country, and
government on the earth, and weakening
the vast power of the United States by
dividing them into two, or half a dozen
small, weak governments, at war with
each other, the European people, the
masses have no intention of making I'M
provoked war upon this land for the sole
purpose of aiding the Southern oligarchy
TO perpetuate slavery. This great strug-
gle between free labor and slave labor;
universal liberty and feudal despotism,
is to be fought out TO the end by the par
ties thereto, and is not to be settled at
the dictation of foreign kings, or queens,
or mobiles, or cabinets, or armies. The
people of this land will, must do this for
themselves. and no foreign power will
openly intermedle.

The Emancipation Act.


The first of January, the period when
the Presidents Emancipation Proclama.
ton will take effect,-draws nigh, and
every paper from rebeldom which we read,
gives, evidence of the tremendoes
effect which those who are best quail
flied to judge, viz: the shareholders them
selves, expect viii be the result. Edmund
Kirke, the experienced author of "Among
the Pines," says of the three, hundred
thousand STAKEHOLDER traitors:
THAT small number of shareholders
sustain the system of slavery, and has
caused this terrible rebellion. They are.
almost to a man, rebels and seceSsionists,
and we may cover the South with armies.
and keep a file of soldiers upon every
plantation, and not smother this insurrec-
ton, unless we break down the power of
that class. Their wealth gives them their
power, and their wealth is in their slaves.
Free their negroes by an act of emancipa-
tion, or confiscation, and the rebellion
will crumble to pieces in a day. Omit to
do it, and it will last till doomsday. The
power of this dominant class once broken,
with landed property at the South mora
equally divided, a new order of things
will arise there. Where now, with their
large plantations, not one acre in ten is
titled, a system OF small farms will spring
into existence, and the whole country be
covered with cultivation. The six hun
dred thousand men who have gone there
to fight our battles will see the amazing
fertility of the Southern soil, into which
the seed is thrown and springs up with
out labor into a beautiful harvest, and
many of them. if slavery is crushed out,
will remain there. Thus a new element
will be introduced into the South, an ele-
ment that will speedily make it a loyal,
prosperous and intelligent section of the
Union"

The New York Herald has advices of
the completion of two important South
ern railroad connections. 1t says:
lit appears that at length the rebel Con-
federate Government has completed the
railroad connection, a distance of forty
miles or so, between Danville and Green's
boro', in North Carolina, and has also
made a connection between the great CEN
trail railway line from Selma, in Alabama,
across TO the Mobile and Ohio railroad in
Mississippi. With these two breaks closed
up, the rebels secure an inland system of
railways from Richmond, through North
Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alaba-
ma and Mississippi. to Vicksburg. We
seize and hold their great railroad
line which passes through the northern
borders of Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia
and East Tennessee, into Virginia, and
we may cut them off from their seaboard
lines but still in the interior the rebels
will now have, from Richmond to Vicks-
burg, a continuous system of connecting
railroads through the cotton States.

PACIFIC RALRoAD.-The Railroad Jour
nal says: ave had the pleasure, ON Thurs
day last, of meeting w. f. Harvey, Esq,
Washington, a gentleman who represent
ed that State in the Railroad Convention
at Chicago in September last. He con-
firms the opinion which we have frequent
ly expressed in this journal, that a great
portion of this road may be substantially
constructed for $4,000 per mile, begin
ming at the Tooth parallel. and continu-
ing along the south side of the Platt for
more than three hundred miles. And as
proof of his sincerity he is willing to con-
tract at that rate for his first forty miles.
Mr.. Harvey is N of u most skillful
engineers, and has had great experience
in his profession"

Az Illinois soldier deserted from his
regiment in Kentucky, and forging a pass,
succeeded in passing the guards, and ar
rived in New Albany on Wednesday as a
paroled prisoner. There, however, as we
learn from the Ledger. he was ~overhauled
by the Provost Guard, and asked for his
pass. I've got a parole, sir" he replied
to the guard; here it is" showing them
the forged document, which was signed
"Cur6y Smith," The guard carefully ex-
amined it, and then, turning upon the
Sucker, he said: No you don't, old fell
low; that parole is a humbug. Kirby
Smith has pretty much quit spelling his
name Cu-r-b-y." Illinois acknowledged
the corn, and said he had paid ten dollars
for the parole, but thought the man that
wrote it knew how to spell Kirby Smiths
name. He was sent to the barracks.

CURIOUS CHURCH Casa curious
church case was brought up before a
Judge at Hamilton, c. W, the other day.
The question is one of eiectment, brought
against the Trustees of one of the Presby-
terrain congregations of the city on the
ground of breach of trust, inasmuch as it
was alleged that they had permitted erro-
neous doctrine to be preached therein,
and also hat they had permitted an al
iteration in the form of public worship to
the extent of standing during a part of
the congregational singing. His Lord
ship, at the very outset, declined to hear
the case, as it was one for the Church
and not for him to try. He could
not. he said, entertain for a moment any
purely civil questions.

Thurlow Weeds Mission.

A New York letter states that Thurlow
Weed, of the Albany Evening journal, is
going to Europe again on some sort of a
Government mission, and will probably
sail about the 10th of December. The
writer says:
The particular nature of his errand, of
course is a profound secret to everybody
but himself and the Government, but
there is good reason to believe that he is
especially instructed to keep an eye on
the English ship yards, and report what
vessels are there in preparation for the
Rebels. He will also be authorized to 90
as far as St. Petersburg, and confer with
the Gar on matters of mutual national
interest. These statements are made on
the authority of Mr. Weed himself.
