The explosion to-day on the North

train consisted of eight cars and one passen-
ger coach. There were nearly 200 persons
on board. The two foremost cars contain
ed powder, shot and shell, and if is sup
posed sparks from the locomotive commu.
nicated through the cracks in the car, caus.
ing the explosion. Seven persons were
killed outright, snd sll received more or
less injuries. The fireman was killed the
engineer badly injured, and the conductor
slightly.
Among the slightly injured was Mr.. Van
Valkenburg, Assistant Inspector of Tele-
graphs. -
All the cars were blown to pieces except
two in the rear. The engine was totally
wrecked.
The conclusion was terrific and shook
the buildings of the town like an earth
quake.

Inc Heralds Vera Cruz correspondent,
of the 2Sth ult. says:
Since the sailing Of the Vera Cruz, on
the l4th inst, there has been but one en-.
gsgement of note and that is the capture
and abandonment of the Tehuacan citv of
the West, of 10000 inhabitants, near,V as
miles south of the City of Orizaba. A
week ago, to-day, the commander of the
Austrian troops there was informed of the
approach of body of Liberals. He i'm.

preaching enemy, whom ho found to
be formidable force under command of
the gallant Liberal commander, General
Fegurs, whose forces having been aug
nented by Republicans, under command
of Chata Diss, presented cutie an array.
The commander of the Imperialists saw
that his only safety was in flight, and at
once retreatsd to the town, where being
met by the Prefect of the district the
latter advised the evacuation Of the city,
but the commander chose to make an effort
of defense and retired with his forces to
convent, hoping there to resist the Liber-
ais until succor could be obtained from ad-
Joining towns, but the Liberal army at
once surrounded the town and compelled
his surrender.
Couriers were dispatched north BY the
Prefect on the approach Of the enemy and

of remaining in the town, and after secur.
ing all the ammunition and arms of the
garrison, they raised forced loan of $40, 900
and levying on wealthy and foreign house
for 100000 they left. That it was a
strategetical coup de main Is very apparent,
for to have held the town would have re-
quired all the Liberal troops in that State,
and stratagetically the city is of no impor.
tanoe. This is perhaps the most successful
enterprise within several months, and the
Imperialists try in vain to depreciate the
truth. The policy pursued BY the Impe-
rialists seems an insane one. There are
only thirteen thousand troops and they are
divided into q hundred different bodies.

is not one protected highway in Mexico.
The only reinforcements to this force Is
the arrival of 500 men, mostly from France.
No force less than 100000 men will ever
subjugate the country.
Commerce is ruined. There are no ex-
ports save the bullion sent to France.

A Terrible Confession.

Daniel Andrews, Postmaster st Glencoe,

neighpor and committed suicide in prison.
Before doing SO he wrote a confession,
which stated, among other things, that he
murdered returned Californian, eight or
ten years ago, for the purpose of securing
his money, which amounted to about ten
thousand dollars; that he had the mur-
dered man buried at his own expense,
many Of the neighbors attending the fune-
raj, and giving him credit for charity to
the dead.
He also informs his friends that since his
appointment as Postmaster he had robbed

with the information that their contents

It for that purpose only few days before

The Times Washington special saws:
The Government has received communi-
cation from Colonel LeaTenworth, dated
August %, at Cow Creek Rancho, on the
Arkansas river, western part of Kansas,
that an agreement has bean entered into
with the Chief of the Arrspahoes, Keowas,
Cheyennes and Oomsnche Indisns, 70 meet
the commissioners on the part of the United
States on the 4th day Of October next at
Bluff Greek, forty miles south Of the Little
Arkansas, to treat for peace between the
United States Government and the various
tribes.
If this meeting takes. place it will proba-
bly, lea d 70 an immediate cessation of hos
service will from this date be self.sustAining,
notwithstanding the great reduction
the Postmaster General has ordered in the
amount of service.
Governor Dennison has discovered that
an immense excess of service was being per-
formed in these States at the breaking out of
the rebellion, and In re-estsblishing the
mail service in the South he has BEEN gov
erned by the necessities of the people.
Orders were received by the War De-
partment yesterday to discontinue the va
rious brigsdeso Of the veteran reserve corps
now stationed here. The commanding off.
GERS now here have been ordered to their
regiments, thus doing away with number
of tsffofficers and staffs, which will have
theeffect of greatly relieving the expenses
of the garrison of Washington.
The Heralds special says General Fisk,
Commissioner fer the Freedmen's Bureau
in Tennessee reports to the Department
from Nashville under date Of September
End:
A large number of the former slave
owners have testified their desire to coop
perste with the Commissioner By all means
in their power to secure tranquility and
order; but in addition thereto there are
many who refuse to accept the new condi-
ton of things and resist the action of the
Government as far as is practicable with
out endangering personsl safety. Much Of
the trouble and agitation now existing in
this State is owing to this class Of citizens.
The Freedmen's courts are crowded with
applicants for justice. Scant aud hard
wages are withheld from the colored peo-
pie, and the crack of the whip and use of
the shackles are, in many localities, IS com.
mon as in the days Of their serfdom.
The great demand for labor during the
coming year will do much towards regulat-
ing wages and securing their prompt pay
