and started once more, was out of sched-
ule time.
The train with which it collided was a
special one of about fifteen cars, coming
to this city, having on board only few
sick soldiers-the boxes being otherwise
empty. This train had stopped at Adairs-
vile, and telegraphed to Marietta to know
if the track was clear. The agent here,
not having been informed of the morning
train running off, replied "all clear"
Both trains met on the curve, going at
full speed. All the cars of the empty
train were literally smashed to finters
From the foremost TO the hindmOst they
ran into each other, and were splintered
and shivered into thousands of. pieces.
The loaded cars were not so badly torn to
pieces, though they were greatly damaged.
The trucks under q number of them were
torn from them and rolled up together
against the engine-sO great was the mo-
mentum and so sudden was the conclusion.
The sight of the dreadful wreck, the
mangled bodies and the blood of the dead,
with the piteOus screams and sutferings Of
the wounded, were indescrbable. One
soldier was caught between the tender and
engine by the thigh. No effort could ex-
tricate him, and he burned to death against
the engine. No mind can conceive the
excruciating tortures endured; and his
pathetic pleadings to his comrades to chop
off his thigh and relieve him from that
horrid burning, as well as of life at the
same time, constituted most heart-rend-
ing spectacle. His request, for some rea-
son, was not complied with, and he burned
and screamed and begged to be cut loose
for some three hours before life was ex-
tinct.
In this sad collision eighteen soldiers
were killed and sixty seven were wounded.
We were at Big Shanty last evening when
the ambulance train passed there, bring
ing the deaf for interment to Marietta.
We were unable to procure list of their
names. Some officers belonging to the
command, however, promised to send
them to US tomorrow.

Letter of Gen. Grant to Secretary
Chase.


HEADQRs DEPARTM'T OF THE TENNEssEE,(
VIcKsBuRG, Miss, July 21, 1868. )
Hon. s. p. Chase, Secretary Of the Treasury:
SIR-Your letter of the 4th inst to me- in
closed copy of letter of same date to Mr.. Mel
len, special agent of the Treasury. is just re-
ceived. My Assistant Adjutant General, by
whom shall send this letter, is about starting
for Washington; hence l shall be very short
in my reply.
My experience in West Tennessee has con-
WINGED me that any trade whatever with the
rebelliOus States is weakening to US of at least
thirty-three per cent. of our force. No matter
what the restrictions thrown around trade, if
any whatever allowed, it will be made the
means of supplying to the enemy what they
want. Restrictions, if lived up to, make trade
improbable, and hence none but dishonest men
go into it. l will venture to say that no hon.
est man has made money in West Tennessee
in the last year, while many fortunes have
been made there during the time.
The peoi lie in the Mississippi Valley are now
nearly subjugated. Keep trade out for a few
months, and doubt not but that the work of
subjugation will be SO complete that trade can
be opened freely with the States of Arkansas.
Louisiana and Missssippi-that the people of
these States will be more anxious for the en-
forcement and protection of our laws than the
people Of the loyal States. They have expert
enced the misfortune of being without them,
and are now in a most happy condition to APP
preciate their blessings.
No theory of my own will ever stand in the
way OF my executing in good faith any order
may receive from those in authority over me:
but my position has given me an opportunity
of seeing what would net be known by persons
away from the scene of war, and venture,
therefore to suggest great caution in opening
trade with rebels.
am, sir, very respectfully, your obedient
servant. u. S. GRANT

Gen. Cazeno must have been favorable, and

Important preliminary would be, as in Japan,
to secure coal station at SANTANA.
A rendezvous Of American steamers ut that
point would not only afford us the means of
protecting American commerce in the Indies
and on the coast of South America, but to
guard and watch with faithful eye interests
which are growing up in that quarter, and
which seem to have excited no little emotion
in the United States. If the President and
yourself accord to my views and wishes, all
that will be necessary will be to put at my dis
pOsal the Fulton, to be at Vera Cruz in No
vember. so that we may have the winter months
for examination &c.

to enlighten these people and make them I'M

the American system, it will engage my unceas-
ing vigilance. But the church, the old Span
iards. the monarchical influences, with that OF
those money changers, whom our Saviour
drove from the temple, are so predominant in
power that almost despair ofany regeneration
in the cause of free trade as antagonistical to
monopoIies, restrictions, church temperatures,
and all the plunder involved in that policy.

GENERAL Observation-Disclosures RAILROAD
SILVER MIME.

GENERAL OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES RAILROAD
SILVER MINE.
Correspondence of N Y. Commercial Advertiser:
DETROIT, Mich. Oct. Z.
am again in the beautiful "Oity of the
Straits" which is largely interested in the
Lake Superior trade as well as Cleveland,
the "Forest City" Notwithstanding the
desolating civil war, which is ruinous to
the Southern portion of the Union, this
great Northwest country is thriving in all
its elements of wealth, arising from a
favored position as regards health, agricul-
tural and mineral resources. The trade
with Lake Superior has been very large
this season, and thousands have visited
the region of the upper lakes for health
and amusement.
A new steamer is just finished, to be
added to the feet already running to Lake
Superior, making her first trip the present
week. She is called the Powabic, mea-
sures about 700 tons, and will be fitted up
in superior style for the accommodation OF
passengers.
A railroad is projected to run from the
Upper Mississippi to Lake Superior, termi-
mating at Superior City or Bayfield,. This
road is much wanted, and would add vast
ly to the carrying trade of Detroit Chica-
go and Buffalo, beneftting the Erie Canal
and the city of New York.
The Peninsula railroad, running from
Little Bay de Nee to the iron mines near
Marquette, is a new enterprise, now in
active progress of construction. This i'm
rortant railroad is being pushed forward
by capitalists in Chicago and the city of
New York. From eight hundred to nine
hundred men are at work ON the grade
and getting out the ties. Several cargoes
of the iron for the track have arrived
at Sand Point, the terminus of the
road ON Green Bay. Its length, when
finished, will be about sixty-ive miles,
terminating at the new town of Harvey,
on Lake superior. Next summer daily
line of steamers will run from Green Bay
to Sand Point, a distance of about one
hundred miles, connecting with the Chi
cago and Northwestern railway of Illinois,
thus rendering speedy route of travel
to Lake Superior, ultimately, no doubt,
destined to be- continued from the Iron
Mountain to Ontonagon, passing over the
upper region of Keneenaw Point.
Another startling event is the recent
discovery of silver mine in the Huron
mountains, west of Marquette, situated on
the head sources of Dead, or Rapid river.
Here are said to be rich veins of silver
and lead which yield largely of the former
precious metal. Let this fact be estab-
lished, aud the deposits of copper and
iron, combined with silver, will give
fresh impetus to the settlement Of this
health restoring region.
Yours respectfully, j.
