EXTENSIVE >MAslirp OK TIE CHICAGO &
Rock ISLAND Il. R.-As last ev sninrs night
express train FOR Chicago was passing over
he Railroad bridge, the baggage car on the
rear of the trail ran off the bridge, which
ocea Toned a delay of au hour or so. The
train then got off again, ard had got about
three-fourthS Of mfe beyond Moline, when
this same baggage car, which vas the second
car from the engine, ran OF again, breaking
the coupling between that and the forward
baggage car, and pulled from the track four
passenger and two sleeping cars to which II
was attached. The baggage ana the two
first passenger cars tipped over upon their
sides; the two next tipped partly over and
the next tire cars run from the track, bu
were not upset. The train was crowded
with passengers. and Is may be imagined.
the accident caused no little confusion ana
excitement. as we can attest, being person
ally interested therein. Passengers in the
forward cars were thrown pei nell into
struggling heaps upon one side, and the
screams. and shouts, of passengers. amid
the crash and confusion of the disaster
made up trigh,ful concert. After few
moments reflection upon "the situation !"
the passengers commenced seeking terra
iirma, and looking for sprains. bruises, etc
which many of them discovered without
fficulty. We heard of only two broken
arms, and nothing more serious. car
truck was thrown across one mans body.
but fortunately was not badly injured.
though it required the united strength Of
twenty men to get him out. The train be-
ing thus detained, the passengers looked out
for resting places as best t..ey might until
morning. The majority staid with the train.
and those who lived at Rock Island and Da.
venport made their way bAck on foot to get
fair start to day.
| This accident is thou hit by some to be
the result Of care'essness, as the cor that
ran off on the bridge was unfit to put on
the through train How this may be- v.
are unalle to state.

South. In his speech in New York, ne
made the following prediction? /
Some people here say they want to
send commissioners to bring about peace.
And vet loyal Arkansians have organized
a Provisional Government, and are ready
to come lack to the Union; and mark
nv word tonight, | will bet that these
peace men will be the very fellows that
won't want her to come, because she has
left slavery behind her."
We trust those who have been credu-
lous enoughto believe the stories about
the Willingness Of Democrats to recon
struct the Union other than for the pres
ervation of Slavery, will remember this
prediction of the loyal Arkansian. As
to the twaddle of subjugation, he dis
poses of it as follows:
Let me tell you that there are one
of two classes at the South that must be
subiugated. either the man who has
drawn bis sword against the Govern
ment of his fathers, the man who has
attempted to subjugate his Government,
he must be subjugated and brought back
to the Government, or the other man in
the South who, in darkness, and storm,
and trial, has stood true to the flag Of
his country, with his faith never waver
ing. The man who has worked for his
country must be subjugated, or the rebe
must be subjugsted. Now, which are
Won going to whip? He has lost all; he
, has been confscated; he has been hunt
: ed like wild beast win you subjugat'

What Does 1t Mean.

Have any of our readers reflected up
on the popularity of the fact, for fact it
is so far as our observation has Iextend-
ed, that every Southern man who has
come out boldly in defence of the Union
has been denounced by the Democratic
papers of the North2 How is this to be
accounted for2 Run over the list: Andy
johnson, Maynard, Parson Brownlow,
and others of Tennessee-in other DAYS
leaders of opposite parties-are now
stigmatized as Aboitionists by every
Democratic paper in the country, simply
because they took decided stand against
the Rebellion, and have endorsed and
approved all the measures of the Ad-
ministration for its suppression. So has
it been with the Maryland and Virginia
Unionists Gen. CAN'T, of Arkansas, is
no exception to the rule. He was q
Democrat before he was a Seces-
sionist- As such he had been honored
with high official positions. He went
into the Rebellion and was honored with
the position of Brigadier General. But
contest of two years undeceived him
as to the resources of the contsnding
forces as wellas to the secret of the power
of the North and the weakness of the
South. Discovering his error, like a
true man of genuine moral courage, he
set to work TO repair, so far possible, the
evil he had aided in bringing upon the
South. And now Gen CAN'T is denounc-
ed by the Democratic papers with more
fervor than they denounce the traitors he
has left
q Gen Gantt's only crime is that he de-
dominates Slavery as the life of the
rebellion, and insists that it must be ex-
PEELED from American soil if our people
would live in peace for years to come.
He abandoned a Brigadier General
ship in the rebel army and came into
our lines. His caseawas one that was
excepted in the Amnesty Proclamation
as being too deeply stepped in the crime
of treason to merit pardon. But he re-
turned, nevertheless. He is DESTROYS Of
undoing the great wrong he has helped
to do 1t is natural that he should look
to his old party associates fer sympathy
and encouragement. Yet what does he
fnd27 That organization opposes his
purpose and denies his principles. They
repudiate him altogether.
Why is it that every manwho forsakes
the rebellion, and Internationally swears
allegiance to the-Union, is rejected BY
Il dishonored Democracy of to-day.
General Gannt keenly feels this con-
duct on the part of his old political as.
sociates. He feels that they are against
him and the cause of the Union in the
