Six persons on the train, and the sta
tion agent, were seriously hurt, and
some of them probably fatally.
Played Omt. @
Poor Mason and slidell, like otLer
dogs, shave had their day. From the
excitement shey created, they no doubt
expected to be the "lions' of London
on their arrival there. But the game
! vas played out before they landed.-
Even the London Times said England
/ cared no more for them than for two of
their "niggers," and advised the people
to give them:no attention whatever.-
The advice was needed. Nobody
noticed them. They could get their
dinners at the hotels, by paying for it,
like, any one else, and that was all -
EOh! what fall was therel And the
T So lthern papers are furious about it.

Think ing Better Of Il. III
4 From the rumors and out-givings of
the European correspondents, it was Sc
riously feared that Napoleon was about
/ to acknowledge the JEFF. Davis Confed-
eracy. But his speech to the National
Chambers of France on their recent meet

it. He said: '@'. .-" 3,'s .-5

Contraband Deserters.
| A telegraphic dispatch from Fortress
Monroe, on the 10th, says: Ela-7.l
/ Ten deserters lcontraband) came to
Camp. Hamilton this afternoon, having
been found by a scouting party. One
was member of the Black Virginia
Cavalry, who were engaged in the skir :
mish at Newmarket Bridge on the 22d
of December, with Max Weber's regi-
ment. He was completely armed with
carbine, pistol, ETC., and had consid-
erable amount of rebel money. They
represent great scarcity of provisions.
Um1On Feeling im Alabama.
Our gunbeats, which, after the cap
ture of Fort Henry, went up the Ten
nessee River to Florence, in Alabama,
found genuine Union feeling among
the people, and the officers report that
they were hailed as delieverers instead
of being met as enemies. All that is
needed there is to break the military
power Of the usurpers who havecoereed
the people into apparent treason, when
the masses will hail with unmingled
tioy, the re-establishment of the Constitu-
tion and laws, instead of the desp potism
which is now crushing them into pow
erty and vassalage. So it will be else

Generously Done. -- -.s-,,aEraF
In the expedition of our gunboats up
the Tennessee, they captured several OF
: the rebel steamboats,, and cleared out all
their batteries. At tcne place there were
800 rebels encamped some distance from
the river. a detachment Of our men
went to Fay them military visit
: But the chivalry ran for dear life, leav-
ing $50 stand of arms and large quan-
tity of commissary stores which fell into
= our hands. The commander ordered
the plunder to be distributed to the
, Union families which had suffered from

Nobly done! -.a.- ra..... ....-.
Rebel Spies iM Indiana. st
A telegraphic dispatch from Indiana
, on the 18th says:
! Two fellows were arrested at Prince
ton, Indiana, few days since, by the
Surveyor of the port Upon searching
their persons, their clothing and boot
legs were found to be wadded with
letters for parties in the South, many OF
! which were from Europe, and, doubtless,
contain valuable information. They

The correspondent Of the Commercial,
writing from Camp Todd, near Grafton,
T Va, in the course of his letter, says:
"From my experience in, scouting
about over the everlasting hills here
about, / am brought.to believe that re-
1idble Union men are very nearly as
scarce as the Pay master has been for
the last two months. IF we visit a hill
& side farm house, we find to each one, on
an average, about FIVE starved-leeking
4 dogs, that seem mean enough to follow
the trail of lame grasshopper, three
women, hoopless and the next approach
to shoeless, fifteen tow headed urchins,
and perhaps, here and there, blind or
crippled niger. The men have all left,
