THE RAILROAD AocIDENr.-An error
crept into our notice of the railroad ac-

relation to the distance run after the
engine was thrown from the rails be-

that it was three or four rods.
The fireman, Mr.. John Austin, was

The Congregational church was crowd

Nor FOUND IT OUT YEr.-we see by the
list of Vermont daily and weekly news
papers given in Walton's Register for
1855, that the compiler Of that publica-
tion has not yet discovered that Rutland
has daily paper. Now considering
the fact that the Rutland Daily Herald
is the largest daily paper Of the state,
that it has a larger circulation than any
other daily paper of the state, and that
it has been published nearly four years,
the above omission is rather remarkable.
For we had understood that the lists,
tables &C., given in that annual Regis
ter, were corrected, as rule, as often as
once in three years, which would have
entitled our Daily, started in the spring
of 1851, to a place in its newspaper list
as early certainly as the fall of 1854 |!

,rrsMrr TO BURN New YORK Cry

.,rrsMrr TO BURN New YORK CITY.--
The NV York papers report an attempt
20 burn tie city, or some Of Its princi-
ma, buildings, on Friday night. Several
hotels,-the st. Nicholas, Metropolitan
J.faree, st. James, ,Loyejoy's, Belmont,
Hraudreth, and one or Two Others, and
Bsrnum's Museum. were discovered 10
be on fire at different times during 'he
evening. In the hotels, the fires were
sst in the bed clothes Of some one OF the
rooms, with the aid of turpentine and
phosphorus. In each instance the fire
was soon discovered and extinguished
before much damage had been done.
There was great excitement in the city,
and the fire department and the police
were very active. About ten o'clock, a
woman from Baltimore, who had been
noticed as going from one hotel to an
other and leaving each just before the
breaking out of the fire, was arrested by
the police. Another persona man
was also arrested at the Metropolitan,
and the police are said to be on the
track of several Others.
It's supposed to be the work OF rebel
enissaries attempting to carry out the
programme recently suggested In Rich
mond papers.

DEATH OF Rx-Gov. We
take from Waltons Journal the follow
ing report Of the remarks made by Sen
ator Nichols of Rutland upon the resolu-
tions adopted by the Senate on the oc-
casion Of the death Of ex-Gov. Fair
banks:
Mr.. President I'm the life time of pub
lie men, amid the shock of cOntendins
interests, views and parties, we little
appreciate the sterling worth, the abil-
ity and the usefulness of those to whom
we are most indebted but Sir, when
the solemn occasion, like the one which
has called forth these resolutions, comes
to cur notice, we pause, and when all
too late. appreciate the public loss.
The resolutions are but a fitting trib-
ute to one whose long public life-busi-
ness enterprise and public benefactions
have made his name and fame part Of
the pride aud history of the State.
Holding the executive Office at the break
ing out of this unholy rebellion, he de-
voted to the administration of that
office all the ability, all the patriotism
and energy which he possessed. And,
Sir, in the discharge of the delicate du-
ties which SO suddenly and unexpectedly
devolved upon him, when everything
was new and untried In military point
OF view, l believe every person in the
State will award to his memory the
need of pure patriotism, great ability
and honesty. But it is not alone in his
public capacity that his name will long

foresight, he has helped largely to build
up a business centre and beautiful vii
work whiGn has ftadi ut u lRy u great nnblic
centres along its whole line, with 9th
er connecting railroads, and thereby
brought the seaboard and the mountain
side by side. The development of the
material interests of the State, which
has caused the mountain stream to turn
the busy spindle, and around the spindle
caused the thriving and happy village 70
spring up, is higher, pfOuder mOnu-
ment to his memory, than any marble
which can rise from the sculptor's chisel.
In the more intimate relations Of the
immediate community in which his life
and his usefulness waS passed, his death
will be a loss which we can appreciate,
but not so keenly IS those who held the
| relation Of neighbor and personal friend.
| At ripe age, full Of years and full Of
honors, he goes down to the grave, 70

REBEL ARMIEs.-The Army and Navy
Journal estimates the rebel armies as fol-
lows: Lees $4,000 men; Hoods $4,000;
Early's $4,000; all other rebel troops, in
cluding Prices force and the garrisons
OF Charleston, Savannah Mobile, ETC.,
$4,000. Total 175,000. The Army and
Navy Journal is good authority, and the
entire rebel force in the field may be set
down with safety, probably, as not ex-
oeeding 100000. There are no white re-
serves to draw upon, and it is not likely
the rebels will dare to put arms into the
hands Of their slaves. If they do, they
will be "hoist with their own petard."
The end of the war cannot be far dis
tant, whatever may be the immediate
result of operations now in progress.
