COLLISION ON THE FITCHBURG RAILROAD
AS the Vermont Central cattle train,
inward bound, was passing around a
curve between West and South Acton on
the Fitchburg railroad, Tuesday NOR
ming about five o'clock, it was run into
by the Rutland and Burlington cattle
train going in the same direction. The
saloon car Of the former which was in
the rear of the train, and in which were
about fifteen persons, was completely
smashed, but fortunately no person re-
ceived any injury except a few slight
bruises. The next two cars to the sa-
loon car were uninjured, but the fourth,
fifth and sixth cars, which were filed
with cattle and sheep valued at about
$4,000 the property of Mr.. F. E. Trumbe
of Malone, n. Y, were entirely demol-
ished, and the cattle thrown in every
direction, many being killed and nearly
all having their legs broken. The en-
CINE of the rear train was so badly in
jured. The accident happened on q
curve of the road, the trains not coming
in sight Of each other soon enough to
prevent collision.

THH EUROPEAN CAPITALIsTs-Sl Nor
ton Peto gave farewell dinner TO his
American friends at Delmonicos, in New
York, last Monday evening. The enter
tainment is said TO be the most magni-
icent that was ever given In this coun-
try. The New York Times gives list
of the guests, numbering between two
and three hundred, including many Ia
dies. The Bill OF Fare, printed in French,
was unique and elegant. 1t was ar
ranged in the form of an eight PACED
book, each leaf being of satin, and con-
tanning the numerous dishes OF the ban
quet Seyiatin, while the covers, which
were OF morocco, We're stamped in gold
with Sir Morton's coat of arms and the
name OF the particular guest at whose
plate the book was laid.
The best musical talent was engaged
to enliven the OCCASION but no mention
is made of dancing. Among the dis
tinguished persons present were Chief
Justice Chase, Vice Admiral Farragut,
Major Generals Dix and Hooker and
Senator Sherman. Sir Morton presided,
and read toasts in honor OF the Presi-
dent, the Queen, the Army, Navy and
Railways,
The leading sentiment ofthe speeches
was that the interests of Great Britain
and the United States were inseparable;
that war between the two countries was
impossible, and that the people would
preserve international concord. Sir
Morton declared that hereafter no young
man in England could be considered
qualified to enter upon public life till he
had visited this country. For himself
he had travelled 5000 miles through the
country, and be felt that he had only
seen the edge Of it.

They were al brought Of and sent up
the country, with the exception Of sixty
I've. who were too sick to be remvved,
and were, Of course, left behind.
l learn that our authorities, before
leaving tho town, seized and brought of
all the horses, wagons, negro men, and
all the white men between the ages Of
seventeen and fifty years, that they could
get. All our troops escaped except .
detachment of Mosely's battery and two
regiments of Hagood's South Carolina
brigade, numbering one thousand one
hundred men. These were captured {;
how or where, l do not know.
The place MAS defended to the last,
and only evacuated when the pressure
of an overwhelming force of the enemy
rendered it necessary. At one time,
they were seen advancing along the Cor
duroy road, which runs through the rice
fields on the west bank Of the river
A few shells from one of our batteries
posted at the foot of Market street
caused them to beat hasty retreat. 1t
is said that an enterprising Yankee
mounted the office of the Superintendent
of the Manchester railroad and attempted
to hoist his national flag; but while he
was thus engaged was picked off by one
of our artillerists or sharpshooters, do
not remember which.
The enemy made their appearance in
the town as our rear guard was going
out, and made close pursuit. There was
active skrmishing at Smiths creek, two
miles north of Wilmington; but the
enemy were repulsed and the bridge de-
stroycd. They managed to cross in some
way. however, and when our men ar
rived at the bridge over the Northeast
river. were close behind them. Skir-
mishing ensued, but the enemy were
again driven back, and our men crossed
to the north bank of the river and COM
meDced to destroy the railroad and pen
toon bridges. The enemy attempted to
prevent this, and brisk fire ensued.
The roar of artillery and the sharp
rattle of musketry were incessant
till a late hour in the night
The railroad bridge was burned, but
the Yankees contrived to fix it up in
some way, SO as to cross the river on it
early Thursday morning, The pontoon
bridge was cut loose from the south side
and swung around beyond the reach Of
the enemy; but they afterwards got
possession of it and speedily repaired
it. | could hear Of but one man killed
on our side.
On Wednesday evening, tho wagon
trains began to move from the river, and
on Thursday morning the whole army
passed up the road. OF their numbers
and present locality it would not be pru.
dent to speak. They will be heard from
in good time.
