SHOCKING AccrDBYT.-This morning,
about 3 o'clock, in the Grown Point
mine, a most shocking, and what may
prove q fatal accident occurred, which
loudly appeals to all persons connected
with our mines to be more careful.
William Brown, aged about thirty years
whose position in the mine WAS that Of
Il californian" rang the usual bell
for hosting the ''cage," he being at
the Ave hundred foot level, and wishing
to come up to the four hundred fool
station. When the cage on which be
was, arrived at the station, it did not
stop, and be came up on it to the sur-
tace-but what q horrible sight be pre-
scented! In some ~uuaccountable manner
bis face was struck against either the
cage, the shaft timbers, or the top oil
one of the stations 10 the shaft, and lit
orally crushed and tornl The top OF
nis nose and the cheeks were literally
cut from the bones and hung a bleeding
mass over his o jaws; his trout teeth
we're knocked out, bis lower jaw bro
ken in three different places, and Il por-
uon Of his tongue actually cut Oft !
When the Gag reached the top, the
mar was actually standing upright and
holding on to the irons. He was quick
ly assisted of, and taken to the St.
George Hotel, and medical assistance
called. Our readers can better judge
of the horrible sight than we can at
tempt to describe it. The man has not
beer able to speak although be has been
sensible, but unable to give an account
Of the horrible accident which may cost
him his life.
OLD GLoRY.-The handsome Liberty
Pole, on Fort Homestead, was raised at
noon yesterday; and when the wire
opt guys were adjusted, and the hoist
ing tackle removed, Old Glory vas run
to the top, and MS it foated out on the
breeze for the first time on the new Pole,
Commodore Wagner fred a bully salute
in honor Of tho occasion. The pole is
really a beauty, an hundred feet above
the ground, painted white, aud sur
mounted by a large gold-bronzed ball,
elevated on an iron bar three feet above
the pole. The pole is a tamarac, and
hasn't a knot or a flaw from top to bot
tom. 1t does not stand quite as per-
peudiculsr as it might, the top leaning
slightly to the South-out this was done
Intentionally, to brace it against the in
formally mean winds which occasionally
come from that direction. After the
pole was set, yesterday, this peculiar
lean look was a matter Of considerable
criticism among some OF the old Cop
perhead- broom-rangers here in Gold
Hill, who, in their innocent oblivlous-
ness considered it ominous-that the
pole and flag now leaned more to the
South than the North. Now our opin-
ION is, that if the stars aud stripes lean
that way at all, it is in pity for that Sec
ton of the Union. But the Pole and
the Flag are bully-and are a pride to
Gold Hill. All honor to the Flag, the
true National Emblem of all true Amer
leans.

10 the Democratic party, in good faith,
in the day when q Of ito Vice Pres

wife but left that organization when
omaluamationists ceased to secure
leading nominations. Shanker is now
a Radical; :" and we must presume,
from his recent statement, that one Of
The principal reasons why he 10 so, is
because Thad Stevens keeps as his mis-
