The guerilla exploit on the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad on the evening of the 18th,
appears to have been a sheer case of bold
highway robbery. Not over forty (soreFa
the number below twenty persons were en-
gagged in it. They stopped the train by
means of the usual signal for that purpose,
and armed with swords and revolvers entered
the cars threatening instant death to cay
one who should show any arms 10 resistance
demanded the money and vsiuables Of the
male passengers, parade3 them in line on
the outside Of the cars and chen Jumped on
their horses and made off in the darkness
They were dressed in L. S. uniforms. Sew
'eral of them were captured within few
hours, Gen. Sullivan having dispatched a
large mounted force in different directions IN
their pursuit. Some of the passengers
were robbed Of large sums Of money-irom
$1,000 to $4,000; and the whole amount
taken is reported at about $50, 200, besides
some jewelry.
The feeling among the citizens against the
acts Of these robbers is very strong, and
even vindIctive. The Unionists and rebel
sympathi1ers alike agree in this respect. In
no sense Of the term were their operations
Of military character. They did no in
jury to the road, mails, express or wires,
but merely robbed the passengers
The parties who committed this robbery
are sons Of some of the chivalry and rebel
sympathizing Baltimoreans. Beside Balti-
more-born robbers, there were engaged some
Of the sons Of the wealthy and heretofore
respectable residents Of jefferson and Berk-
ley Counties, Va. 1t is said that there were
in the party the sons of Marylanders and
distinguished gentlemen living in and in the
neighborhood of Cumberland

Congress.

1t appears that the Senate and House are
not 50 nearly in accordance on the provisions
of the amended enrolment bill as We sup
posed. The Senate declines to adopt the
amendments of the House. and holds on to
its own. Probably the bill Will have to 20
through the hands Of a committee OF confer
ence, before an agreement is reached. 4
general feeling of congratulation appeared in
the loyal papers on the announcement of the
passage of the bill by the House. The DELAY
to pass the bill works serious injury to the
public service. Every day lost IN this way
tells against the prompt completion Of the
ranks of the army for service We think
however the bill can hardly fail of enactment
in some shape before the week is out.
The revenue bill also bangs by the way in
the House. which appears to be as unwilling
to adopt the Senate's proposed amendments
of that bill as the Senate Is to adopt the
House amendments to the Enrolment bill.
The fact is each bill is bill of many details.
and therefore furnishes ground for numerous
differences of opinion. Such bills always
make slow progress.

that this journal from proprietor to "devil, -

Unlike our friends Of the - League we do not
oppose competent mans election to a town of

might also state that We have no knowledge that
the body of the opponents of the prohibitory
law IN Burlington have any intention to "a bolt y
Mr.. Huntington.
We have not misled our readers into any
belief about the Times We have not said
or intimated that the Times was opposed to
Mr.. HuntingtOn's reelection. We only said
we presumed those who meant to oppose
Mr.. huntingdon reelection because he was
not for substituting a license system for the
prohibitory one, were of those whom the
Times called'' independent citizens
The Tunes is quite right to make so ex-
plicit an avowal that it intends to support
Mr.. Huntington's reelection We hope all
the " independent citizens" to whom the
Tunes refers.will conclude to do the same.

\ BUMPER TO McCLELLAN-Ina recent
lecture in Main, Fowler, the Phrenologist,
related the following chronological reminis-
cence of Little Mae:
The father of George B. Mcclellan and
himself were 'old cronies,' as he EXPRESSED
it; he often came into his Office to listen 10 his
examinations; and when, once on a time the
lad George was home from West Point the
father brought his two sons to have their
characters phrenologically descanted upon.
Says Mr.. Fowler: IL remember all tho ON
cumstances as if it were but Yesterday. and
remember the train of reasoning that tben
passed through my mind. " Never with
great emphasis, "never. in all nv life. had
found such an inOrdinate DEVELOPMENT of
the organ of caution as in the head of Geo

were dispatched in various directions to cap

Williamsburg and Hanover Courthouse road

tRlGHTFUL ACCIDENT.-On the 9th instant
terrible accident took place at the bridge
over Credit river, on the Grand Trunk Rail
road. The bridge is one hundred and TWEEN
ty-hve feet from the surface of the river In
the mornings the Toronto Globe savs-as
freight train from Sarnia was approaching
this bridge, 1t was noticed by those on the
train that an axletree Of one OF the rear cars
was broken. The engine driver. on being
notified OF the fact, at once whistled brakes
down, but owing to the Ice on the track
and the tram being on the down grade. the
tram could not be stopped as quick a. under
ordinary circumstances. At the time the de-
iect IN the axletree was discovered. the train
was within about two hundred yards of the
bridge and going at the ordinary rate of
speed. The persons ON the train did all in
their power to stop it. All their efforts. how
ever, were unavailing, as the train still kent
moving, and in a few moments entered on
the bridge The engine and the tender and
number OF cars passed onward in safetv
but Just as the last two cars came upon the
bridge the coupling of the forward one broke
In these cars were the conductor of the train
and two brakemen. Immediately ON nh,
parting OF the train the last two cars ran off
the track, dashed through the side rail of
the bridge, took an awful leap into the air
and fell, with fearful crash, into the river
beneath distance Of one hundred and
twenty-five feet. They were, of course
smashed to atoms, and the three unfortun,
ate men were mangled in such horrible
manner as to be scarcely distinguished as bu-
man beings. Their arms. bodies. heads and
legs were cut, smashed and crushed into ono
slckening, awful mass of creeping. iellied
flesh and bones. The head of the unfortun-
ate conductor was. at first, nowhere IN be
found, but after searching awhile among the
ruins, pieces Of skull, face and brain ali
that now remained Of it, were picked mn and
gathered together. There can be no doubt
that the accident resulted from the axletree
as all that portion of the train before the
broken car passed safely over the bridge.
