sW Advices from Newbern bring
accounts of the hanging of % Union
prisoners at Kingston, few days since.
A large multitude witnessed the execu
ton and were moved to tears by the
firm and lofty bearing of those brave
patriot martyrs who refused to make
any compromise of their sentiments to
save their lives. Their brutal murder
has caused intense dissatis faction
among even rebel sympathizers. 1t is
thought that the cruelty of the execu-
ton and its barbarity will overt act,
and i'm the end benefit the Union cause.
The native Union troops are terribly
exasperated in regard to it, and say
they will neither ask nor give any quar-
ters hereafter. -.

A severe accident occurred on the
Cleveland and Toledo Road at Bellevue
at half past ten O'Clock Wednesday
evening. The Eastern Express train,
due in Toledo at midnight, does not
usually stop at that station in the night,
and passed the place at nearly full
speed, When a misplaced switch let it
off upon side track whereon were
standing several cold cars, and into
them the train plunged and was brought
to a standstill, the forward cars almost
completely demolished and piled in a
heap with the coal cars. The baggage
car was full of baggage and mail mat
ter, the only place unoccupied being
Immediately around the stove, where
the baggage master was sitting. The
stove was broken, and the fire commu.
nicated to the mails and baggage and
in a few minutes the debris was in
flames.
The baggagcman, William j. Allen,
formerly of Toledo, but latterly resid-
ing in Cleveland, was found wedged in
with the baggage by one leg in such a
manner as to defy extrication, while
the flames were right upon him. All
efforts to get him out were unavailing,
and at last, in obedieuce to his urgent
requests, an Ak was procured and his
leg was chopped off, and he was thus
liberated! The poor fellow, however,
survived but a short time. A brake.
man named Joseph Allen, living in
Toledo, was nowhere to be found, and
it was supposed he was burnt up in the
ruins. A child was also suffocated in
its mothers arms in the ruins, but the
mother escaped with only few Sigh,
injuries. ts9e.
-Four of the cars belonging to the
train, and several coal cars were con.
sumed. The mail, which was very
large was entirely destroyed. In addi
ton to about 100 canvass bags, con
tanning papers, not less than 35 letter
bags for western cities were destroyed
From the cars the flames extended to
the grain house standing near the
track, which with its contents-18, OO(
bushels of wheat, some cotton, and {
small quantity of other freight,-wa
all consumed. ln
On whom rests the blame of thi.
terrible accident is not yet ascertained

heads.
Mr.. JEFF. Davis is no longer in the
way of Pennsylvania legislation. The
problem is solved. The people have
solved it. The circumstances will be
rccollected. The Uuion party had a
majority of one in !the State Senate.
He was Colonel White, of the U. S.
Army. He was captured in battle.
The Legislature was tied. The cop
perheads and president" jeff. reioiced
together. They would have half Of
the Offices, or they WOULD not consent
to organization. Mr.. Davis would not
let the Colonel 60, and the Democrats
would not organize until be did let him
go. There was dead lock. Tidings
of the same reached Colonel White.
He was as..quick and eager to serve bis
country with his pen as with his sword.
He sat down and wrote out his resig.
nation.
A new election was ordered. A
good and true Unionist, DR.. St. Clair,
was triumphantly elected and on Tues
day of last week he was conducted to
his seat in the capital by four thousand
people, who shook the city with their
tumult of rejoicing.
The wheels of legislation turned
again. And now read, mark, and in
wardly digest! The bill enabling the
soldiers in the field to vote was imme.
diately called up. 1t carried, but what
was the vote? There were seventeen
votes for, and sixteen votes against it
The sixteen votes against were every
one Democratic votes. Keepit before
the people. And remark.

w The Detroit Advertiser & Tribune
gives an account of woman named
Ostrander, who has been assisting de-
serters to escape. This woman was
formerly a resident of Pokagon, in
this county, and was considered by
those who knew her to be woman aof
at least questionable virtue. Her hus-
band enlisted from Pokagon in Com
pany M, of the 1st Michigan Cavalry.
When the company left this village to
join the regiment in Detroit, she .ac-
companied him, and this is first
that has been heard of her since
that time. 1t now appears that Os.
trander has made regular business OF
deserving, he having deserted first from
the 1st Michigan Cavalry, then from
the 2sth Infantry, from the Sd Cavalry
and once each from Pennsylvania
and a New York regiment. Every
time he deserted he was aided by his
wife, who solicited furloughs for him.
and secured his safe transit to Canada

reason to believe that ',she has also

called to see him as usual when he
wanted to desert, and was herself ar
