FRIaHTFUL ACCIDENTAL YOUNG We
MANS BRAINS DASHED OUT.-A young wo-
man, named Lizetta Busser, engaged as a
feeder in the press-room of The Cincinnati
Commercial, was instantly killed on Friday
morning in the followl8 manner: In
passing from one part of the press-room to
another, it is necessary to cross shaft
which carries the power from the engine
to the press. The shaft is hardly two feet
from the floor. and whirls at the rate of
about one hundred and fifty revolutions
per minute. While stepping over it, the
clothes of the unfortunate girl caught on
the shaft, throwing her against the floor
with such force as to break a large hole in
it and dash out her brains at the same time.
Her person encircled the shaft, which made
several revolutions before the machinery
could be stopped and she extricated. Lit
orally almost every bone in her body was
broken and the flesh and muscles mangled
in the most extraordinary and unsightly
manner.

The Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and

The business upon this great thoroughfare
is rapidly increasing. In July the Road
earned $4s6,6Sl against s35o,753 in July
last year. The earnings for the seven
months ending July 81, were $345s, AL,
against 81, s02, ,592 for the corresponding pe-
riod ofls63. This shows an increase ofthirty-
nine per cent. for the month, and twenty
three per cent. for the seven months.
The passenger trains are now always full,
both ways; and the immense freight trains
have all they can carry. The road Is in ad-
mirable order, and is managed excellently
well. 1t is only short time since we
had occasion to pass over almost Its
entire length; and we take great pleas
ure in giving it the benefit of our
commendation. Hon. G.. w. CAss, its
able and efficient President, is a statesman
of national reputation, as well as success

its excellent and accomplished Secre-

We call upon the Democracy every
where, to prepare for the extraordinary
campaign that is just at hand.
The ONO STATESMAN will continue to
defend the Constitution against the assaults
of all its enemies. Tt will in the future as
In the past be found battling for the Rights
Of the White Man, in opposition to all Dis
rnion Abolition Traitors. 1t will give an
energetic and vigorous support to the
movement for Peace and the Restora-
tion of the Union. 1t will wage an eternal
warfare against usurpation and tyranny in
every form; 1t will oppose arbitrary ar
rests, and advocate the Freedom of Speech
and of the Press. In short, it will give to
the Nominees of the Democratic National
Convention most earnest and cordial sup
port; and oppose with all its power the i'm
beetle and contemplate Administration
that is now by its unconstitutional acts of
Tyranny and Usurpation attempting to
fasten upon this people Despotism more
degrading than that of the worst Despot
who ever disgraced throne in the Old
World or the New.

Mr. Lincoln's Theories.

This age is an age of curiosities one
which is prolific Of progressive movements
in all departments of Art and Science,
and especially in that of political science.
After the master minds which have in
past times swayed the political world, and
laid down theories clearly defined and To-
gically infallible for the guidance of those
who would attain political eminence af.
ter so many profoundly analytical writer's
have Indicated the true basis Of power in
republcs-.he confidence aud admiration
Of the peoale--what is better entitled to
the name of curiosity, Of an affirmative
progression, than that pew.school doctrine
which has been inaugurated by Mr. Lin
coin
The strenuous ofice-seekers Of the old
school understood the proprety of cloak
ing their vices, and fiatteriug the people
into specious security, when seeking
their sutfrages. If heir past records had
not been unspotted they at least endeav-
ored to blind the eyes whose scrutiny
they had reason to dread. Such proprir.
ties are not recognized in M. Liucoln
theories. The history Of candidates has
been one coherent history of marked def
erence to public opinion. Men have in.
deed been over-eager to possess the nation
w,sh graphic apprehensions Of their love
for the Constitution, their respect for the
liberty alike of individuals and the press,
and their reverence for the laws of the
laud ard the rights of communities
They have never tired of laying their hands
upon their breasts, and swearing an un.
swervlng fidelity to the true republican
traditions. Such have been he means
through which they have hoTel to enlist
the general heart aud secure to themselves
the courted designation to fl
But such have nothing to do with
Mr. Lincoln's theories. Mr.. Lincoln's
theories are inscrutable. He trenches
upon the liberty o. the press, be kid.
maps man at the request Of Cuban gov.
ernor, and bis right-hqnd secretary tnkles
his famous silver bell, and consigns c,ti-
zens to his forts without trial or the shad-
ow of civil authority. He courts neither
love nor admiration. And yet he hopes
for reelection to the Presidential chair;
and upon the issue presented by such ar
bitrary acts challenges the support Of the
people. Mr.. Lincoln's theories may en-
body the very inesse of political ideas
again they may only embody shalowness
and effrontcry, and time will decide be.

accounts for the fact that The country heard
nothing Of it, till ii appeared in the Washington

A Petersburg paper of June 2ist, 1864, says:
The eEemys right attacked our left yesterday,
under Gen. Aardee, and were repulsed with great
slaughter. We captured sixty prisoners, among
them Lieut.. Col. Watson, of the 4th Ohio.
An official bulletin has been received from
Secretary Stanton, devoted to the announcement
Of despatch from Gen. Hunter, stating that
his expedition has been extremely successful, and
that running short of ammunition, and finding
II impossible TO collect supplies in the presence
of an enemy superior in numbers and constantly
reinforcei::fro Richmond and other points, "he
deemed It best to withdraw.
| An official bulletin from Secretary Stanton
announces that despatch from Gen. Grant has
been received, dated on Monday afternoon at
half-past o'clock, which reports no operations
in front except firing by his guns into the bridge
at Petersburg, distance of 1000 yards. Gen.
Grants despatch then gives some intelligence
obtained from the Petersburg papers of Sstur-
day. They state that Gen. Wilson burned the
depot buildings and destroyed the railroad track
and IA train of cars at Burkesvile, and that all
the railroads are now destroyed, leading into
Richmond, some of them badly.

ALLEGED DEsTITUTIoN OF THE REB-
ELs.-An army correspondent of the New
York Times says: 81 have seen great
many prisoners lately. Their appearance
entirely refutes the very current story that
the rebel army is in destitute and starv.
ing condition. 1t is simply idle to talk
about starving the enemy into submission.
The rebel soldiers, as a general thing, are
stout, strong, and the very picture Of
health. 1t is insulting to our own brave
men that the statements 80 industriously cir.
culated respecting the feebleness aud lack
of power or endurance of the southern
soldiers should be believed. The rations
of the rebel troops may not be in as great
variety as those furnished to our men, but
they have proved to be fully as nutritious.
This fact cannot be gaiusaid."
