Bridgeport on a trial trip, and seeing no
flag or signal of any kind, and being
unable TO see the approaching train, in
consequence Of curve IN the road,
very naturally ran into that train, and
hence the long and sad array of casual
ties. Had fiagman been sent forward
in advance of the train that was back
ing down to Bridgeport, there would
have been no accident. 1t seems strange
that where a clear track involves life or
death TO several car loads of passengers
so obvious and so easy a precaution
should have been neglected.

life is of greater consequence than the rival in
tereSt in question, then that determination de-
mands instant and rcsOute action in it's sup.
port.
Few can have an adequate idea Of the volumes
of papers that 90 up to the President daily, de-
manding his consideration and action. Appli'
cations for civil office and for military promo
ton; remonstrances against the aforesaid soil
citations for cotton permits and other varieties
of the unclean brood whereof these are the type;
petitions for the pardon of spies and Other
convicted traitors; entreahes for the release
of smugglers, blockade runners, and seller
of goods to Rebels protests against this
act of alleged spoliaton or tyranny by some
military commandant; replcations to such pro-
tests, &C., &c. OF course. mistakes would be
made and injustice committed in acting in this
mass of business under any circumstances; but
how many more must inevitably be made wher
the Presidents time and powers are all absorbed
bv personal bores, and he must at the last mo-
ment sign right and left the documents prepared
and laid before him, with but very confused
notion of what they are, and with 10 othel
knowledge of the facts on which they are based
than that supplied by an Endorsement affixed
by some one who may be careless, or prejudlced
or bribed. The perils and evils of this slap.dasl
manner of doing business are most palpable.
Reform in the premises is sure to come; but II
may come too late 1t ought now to be set
tied. so as never hereafter to be unsettled, that
the President can give but an hour or two pei
dav to personal interviews with others than
those in immediate official relations with him;
and that this limited term must be allotted as
he Judges most conducive to the public veal.
If he can assign two hours to such interviews,
let him spend one of them in the East Room,
conyersing informally with all corners, and Let
the other be given in specified allotments to
such az he may single out from the crowd thus
collected. But we attach no weight to this
suggestion, nor to any mere question OF detail
the vital matter being that the President
must be relieved, at once and forever, from the
pressure OF personal solicitations and interviews
which now wastefully absorb his working hours
and threaten to end piematuroly his days.

A dispatch from Gen. Grant to the War De-
partment gives positive and most cheering news
from Gen. Sherman. He had reached Fayette-
Vile without serious opposition, and his army
in fire health and spirits. Hardec was in bis
front but kept at a respectful distance, when he
will. doubtless, continue to do so long as he has
the power. At Columbia Gen. Sherman destroyed
fortv.three cannon and the immense arsenal
and railroad establishments at that place; at
Cheraw he captured twenty five cannon and SIX
hundred barrels of gunpowder, and at Fayette-
Vile twenty pieces of artillery with much other
war material. The officer who brought the letter
to Gen. Grant reports that Kilpatrick'S head
quarters had been surprised by two
brgades Of Hampton's getting III his
rear, who captured his whole staff; but
Fitzpatrick, escaping, rallied his men, drove the
enemy with great loss, and recaptured nearly
all he had lost The public was prepared for
this good news, but will rejoice none the less
emphatically now that it comes in authentic
shape. That faith that low believes in Lee
and his strategy will remove mountains. Sher-
mans success is beyond question, and the
DAYS of the Rebellion are numbered.

THE PROGRESS OF RUSSIA.

The year I-6i will count in the annals of
Russia among those most marked for military
successes as well as administrative reforms
Two great and expensive wars were brought to
a successful close in Poland and Crcassia The
triumph over the Circassians annexes to Russia
a large region in Asia, which will hcnceforth
not only remain subject to Russian rule, but
fill up with Russian population; while the vic
tory over tho Poles secures the influence Of
Russia over those western provinces In
which hitherto that OF the Polish no.
blhy, who owned most of tho land,
has been all-powcrfal. Russia has ayailed
herself Of very favorable opportunity to turn
to her own advantage the principle Of nation
atty, and endeayors to widen in these provinces
the antag onism existing between the Polish
mobiles and the peasantry, belonging to differ
ent Slavic race, and to secure the sympathcs OF
the latter. 1t can hardly be doubted that these
efforts which have been accompanied by the
great boon OF emancipation, will soon BIZ crowped
with complete success. In the same
manner, the restoration of the Finnish language

WashingtOa Items.

WASHINGTON, Wednesday March IL isS5
Count Wydenbruke has been presented to tho
President as The Minister resident from Austria.
Mr.. l.. Nj. Clark has not resigned the charge
of the n0tcprinting bureau in the Department and the
sundry parties desiring to the country in that
sphere sorely disappointed.
The public impression as reported at WASH
ngton by letter and by visitors having business with
the departments, Is that Mr. McCulloch is determined
secure for the Government OF the United States at
home and abroad the high credit to whichit u entitled
that he will tolerate no longer the mischieyous and
wasteful difference between gold and the national
promises which uDpatri0tic men all over the country
have by combination ardcialy created; that knows
that the Of this country are not equalcd any
where on this earb,' and that while he applies tho
economy and caution OF fnancer trained IN sewers
school Of practical banking. and in which he hrs
acquired and established reputation for a'isn.
he will stand resOlutey upon the strength OF the nation
and lean bis Department upon the people.
This public impression OF Mr. McCuioch's character
and Of his purpose OF administering the Treasury Is
cepted in Washington correct; and no doubt Is felt
here that the public win heartily sustain him. II 10
