Hon. G. S. Orth delivered an able
speech at Pond Grove, Ind, on the SOth

that the rebel States are TO day without

The New York Times, Of September
let, says
The brief letter of Mr. DeBoW, which
we have published from a South Caro-
lima paper, is . very favorable token Of
the progress of sound opinion and right
purpose IN the South. de recognises
the issues of the past IS dead, trusts
that the South will oourageously accept
the duties Of the present situation, and
expresses confidence that ifthis is done,
IN few years all traces Of the recent
calamitous times will be erased =" The
old politicians Of the South, since the
break down of the rebellion, have gen
orally avoided all such language They
seem to feel that all their ssseveratlOns
that eternal vassalage aud ruin would
be the consequence of a return TO the
Union are sill fresh in the memories
of the people, and they prefer silence
to decentralization. But 1t has been
the special effort Of the Provisional
Governors 10 impress upon their people
that prosperity will surely and speedily
come To them. If they will be but true
20 themselves and TO the Government
which seeks their interests. They are
fast satisfying the practical minds Of
the country that tins result Is attaina-
bic, and impelling them toactive efforts
TO promote it. IL is satisfactory 10
know that they have so effective an
auxiliary rs DeBoS, who is better &C
quainted with the internal resources OF
the South than.any other living man,
and can do more to rouse the people
from their present hopelesaness and
dependency.

Among the late railroad accidents
was one which, though not involv-
ing loss of life was very anuoying.
4 baggage car on the Delaware a Barri-
tan rood, filed with the baggage of
persons returning from a summer SO.
journ at Long Branch, took fire and
was consumed with all its contents,
except one trunk. Several passengers
lost their entire summer wardrobes t;
while diamonds an other valuable lew
elry were lost. The loss must be very
heavy. During the progress of the
fire, a revolver in one of the trunks on
the car exploded from the heat, and
three balls which its chambers con-
tanned were lodged in a fence by the
road side.
