AN ENeLIsH OPINION ON THE SANITARY
CoMMissioN. THE London Spectator pays
this high compliment to our noble Sanitary
Commission:
"In every way we cannot help thinking
the existence and success of this commission
is most creditable to the American people
1t shows not only with what aresolution they
entered into this struggle, but with what a
fund of good sense they are endowed. We
doubt whether even in England voluntary
society could be entrusted with so much
power, and yet 50 carefully abstain from
trenching on the province and duties of the
executive. In America they can do these
things, and the same Cabinet Minister who
originally gave the Sanitary Commission Q
six months span of life, now admits that il
it has been of the greatest service to the coun
try; that it has oceasioned none of the evils
expected from it, and that it has lived dowr
all the fears and misgivings of the Govern
ment."

FATAL RAILROAD AcoIDENT.-0n Friday
night the engineer of the fast line West, on
the Pennsylvania Railroad, discovered lamp
on the track, between Bolivar and Blairsville.
The lamp appeared to be stationary, but he
whistled "down drakes," and checked the
train. The cow-catcher struck the lamp and
knocked it off the track. On making an ex-
animation of the ground, the body of woman
was fonnd lying some distance from the track.
She had evidently been struck by train,
but as her limbs were cold, it was inferred
that she had been struck by the fast line
East, which had passed that point a short
time previously. The woman was recognized
as the wife of Joseph Henderson, Waterman
on that division. She had started, lamp in
hand, to carry supper to her husband, and
her head exhibited mark which left nc
doubt that she had been struck by the en-
CINE and instantly killed. Deceased was
about forty years ofage, and was the mother
of nine children.

A sentiment in favor of reconstruction Of
the Union prevailed to a considerable extent,
and it would be expressed as soon as the pro-
lection of the United States government was
offered.
Nothing was known of the reported revolt
of Fort Morgan. I've sslsa gls
The report that Gen. Smiths command Of
cavalry and mounted infantry on an expedi-
ton into Mississippi had fght with For
rests. cavalry near Grenada is not confirmed
Its not believed that the guerillas will
keep up musketry fire upon the steamers
which sail below Memphis.
Gen. Buckner's command is gaining much
favor in Memphis by the judiciOus admins

Ice is form ing heavily on the Mississippi
at Cairo, and for fifty miles below.
Fort SAITH, Feb. 20.--Intelligence has
been received here that General Price has
received furlough of sixty days in order tc
enable him to go to Texas and Mexico. The
belief at headquarters and throughout the
rebel army is that he will never return. Ht
left Camden ten days ago, with small escor
in citizens dress.
General Curtis, on his return and wher
near the old battlefield of Pine Grove, Will,
separated from the main body of his escort
was fred upon several times, but escaped un
injured.
