Sad and Terrible Disaster Caus.
by Drunken Miscreants-.Five
Persons Killed and Twenty
Two Wounded.

sad and deporable accident occurred
10 AN excursion train on the Michigan Cen
tral Rriroad between seven and eight
o'clock on Friday evening, AT Lawton Sta
tion. some seventeen miles west Of kalama-
zoo, by which five persons we're killed out
right. and twenty two more or less danger
ously wounded. The accident was tho re
suit of the mischieyous impulses OF some
drunken rowdes who were on the train, and
TO whom the severest penalties of the law
should be applied The following arc the
facts. which we have obtained from authen.
tic sources. At hslf-past six o'clock on
Friday evening, a special train, consisting
Of twenty passenger cars and one engine,
started from Kalamazoo, loaded 10 their full
capacity with people returning home from
the Michigan State Fair, bound for Niles
aud intermediate stations.
At Mattawan, twelve miles this side Of
Kalamazoo there Is q down grade, extend
ing all the waw to Lawt0D, four miles iur.
tber west While coming down this grade,
some drunken rowdies, near the rear end Of
the train, cut the bell rope and pulled out
the pin that holds the couplings between the
cars, dividing the train. Being upon low
grade the engineer did not discover the loss
Of a portion Of his train, and dashed on TO
Lawton. where he stopped the train. In less
than two minutes the rear portion Of the
train. that had been disconnected, was seon
laundering down the grade close upon the
forward train. The engineer Immediately
put on steam to get out Of the way and
with such force that the coupling between
the engine and car broke, and dreadful
collision Immediately ensued. The rear
norton of the train dashed into the for
ward portion with such force that the two
cars which came together closed into each
other. shutting up like telescope, crushing
their occupants and mangling them in
horrible manner.
A terrible scene OF confusion and ex-
element followed. Those present imme-
diately applied themselves with vigor to
clear away the wreck and rescuing those
under it, and in short time the work was
accomplished.

"The Work we have just now
to do

In what relation the Government will
regard the revolted States when they are
ready to come back into the Union, it is
perhaps hardly time yet to discuss. The
work we have Just now TO do is to put
down the Rebellion.-Journat.
But the work of putting down the Re-
bellion is most seriously involved in the
inquiry Gin what relation the Government
will regard the revolted States" Military
force is essential to "put down the rebel
lion"-but it is not all that is wanted for
that purpose. If we are to use force only,
we shall have to fight the South till the
whole population is crushed out. If we
hold out to them only the terrors of subju-
CATION, confscation, extinction OF State
and local itutions, and of personal hu-
initiation and slavery, what inducement
will they have to lay down their arms ?
Nothing worse can happen to them by con-
tinuiug the contest to the last extremity.
What we want is--not solely to conquer
the Rebel States, reduce them to depen-
dent territories, and divide their soil among
emancipated negroes-but to bring them
back to their allegiance as loyal States of
the Union. Can this be done by holding
out to them only the terrors Of annihila-
tion? Can you thus build up a Union party
in those States? Do you not by such a
policy simply render restoration Of the
Union impossible?
The policy of true intelligent friends of
the Union is this: hold stern, bold trout
against the rebelIion-crushlng it out cv-
erywhere by adequate military power-but
at the same time proclaim to the people of
the Rebel States that the door of peace aud
conciliation is wide open, and that these
States have only to lay down their arms
and return to the Union, and repose again
under the protection Of the Constitution.
In thi. may you exert double power, and
bring a double motive to bear upon the
minds of the citizens Of the Rebel States.
Fear and hope alike prompt their return to
the Union. But if you shut the door against
their return, they are driven to despair, and
their only hope is in desperate and success
full resistance.
What folly, therefore, to say that it Is
..hardly time yet to discuss the question
Sin what relation the government will re-
gard the revolted States when they are
ready to come back into the Union P
That question is upon us, and upon its de-
cision by the Administration, depends the
future aspect of the war-the fate of the
! Union.

Who Are For the Union.

The Abolitionists quote with great glet
the editorials from the Richmond papers
which affect the Democratic party and some
i. of their readers are, perhaps, too ignorant
to perceive that the rebel leaders fear moth
ing so much as the triumph of conservative
principles; but if any answer were needed to
such transparent attacks, it is best found in
thetestimony of the Union men of the Border
States, whose ''loyalty" has stood tests, be-
fore which, we fear, that of the shoddy con-
tractors would have lamentably failed. On
this point listen to Governor BRAMLETTE,
over whose election there has been so much
exultation on the part of the League:
81 have said in every speech, without ex
ceptlon, aid have been particular SO todo,
that give my full and reserved assent to the
platform of the Union Democracy adopted
at Louisville, in convention assembled on
the 18th of March"
Now, one Of these resolutions in that
platform referred to our Democratic victor
les in the Central States last autumn, and
was as follows:
"That the recent manifestations of con
servative sentiment among the people of the
non,slav sholding States, in their late elec-
tions, are regarded as an earnest of good
purpose on their part to cooperate with all
other loyal citizens, give security to the
rights of every section, and maintain the
Union and the Constitution as they were
ordained by the founders of the Republic" "
But other evidence is abundant, and it is
given by witnesses whom 1t does not lie in
the mouths of the Administration to im-
peach. For example-in his letter last fall
to the "Commercial AdvertiSer," THURLow
WEED gave in his testimony. He said;
81 desire to make this record lit comes
to be understood that the views and policy
of the Messrs. Sumner, Greeley, Wendell
Phillips, Ward Beecher, &C., &C., obtain in
the conduct of the war, it aOiH result in the
destruction Of our Government and Union,
and the triumph Of Rebellion and S5arery."

Besides its immoral pDts, this govment

The Next Congress to Abolish
Slavery.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Tribune writes as follows:
II here now forewarn Copperheads OF
all degrees that one of the first and most
important measures to come before the next
Congress will make slavery in all parts OF
the United States an odious crime, forever
hereaftrr, inflcting the penalty of death
on whomsoever shall dare to violate it after
it shall have become law. And | more
over assure negro haters and negro owners,
and all their hackers of whatever name,
that such bill will pass both branches OF
Congress by a very large majority, and be
hailed by the people as the brightest and
best of all the great and good and constitu-
tional remedies for treason and rebellion,
which have been invoked by or during the
most glorious Administration Of Father
Abraham"
As fitting commentary on the above,
the Providence Post reproduces the re-
marks of Henry Clay made twenty years
ago, when, in speaking af the Aboltionists,
he said: "With them the rights of pro
perty are nothing the deficiency of the
powers of the General Government are no.
thing; the acknowledged and incontestible
powers of the States are nothing the dis
solution of the Union, and the overthrow
of Government in which are concentrat.
ed the hopes Of the civilized world, are
nothing. A single idea has taken posses
sion of their minds, and onward they pur,
sue it, overlooking all barriers, reckless and
regardless of all consequences.

A Man Killed by a Change of
Political Principles.

One of the most singular deaths we have
ever had any knowledge of, occurred in
Philadelphia, last Tuesday evening. We
allude to the death of FRANCIS j. GRUND
Esq, formerly one of the editors of the
Philadelphia Age, a Democratic journal.
Within few weeks past Mr.. GRUND be-
came associated with the Shoddy politi.
clans, and they finally prevailed upon him
to make speech before their Loyal League
last Monday night. THIS violent political
step seemed to work upon his conscience
all day Tuesday, and on Tuesday evening,
number of citizens having made arrange
ments to get upa scramble, were marching
past his residence with music and cheers,
which attracted his attention. He became
alarmed, and asked of his servant,-"What
does this mean? What's the matter?' and
added "They have come to mob me; let me
get out the back way" He then left the
house, and fed in great terror to the Police
Station, intending, it is supposed, to claim
the protection of the police from the i'm
aginary danger. Upon his arrival at the
Station House, he was so much overcome
by his run and the conflicting emotions
which beset him, that he could only say, in
an almost iuaudible tone, "Send for doc
tor; bleed me- Before any aid could ar
rive, Mr. GRUND was corpse.
Mr.. GRUND was abrilliant and experienced
political writer, and was distinguished for
his literary, scientific and philosophicresear
ches. Up to very short time before his
death, he was consistent Democrat, and
1espised the party which he so suddenly
oined, and which was the death of him.
