, RICHMOND.
Meeting OF the Conservative COnVen-
tiOn-SOO Delegates Present.

RICHMOND. December IL. - The
Conservative Convention met in the
theater this morning. Eight hun
dred delegates were present, and all
parts of the State were represented.
Hon. A. II. Stewart, of Augusta, was
elected President On taking the
Chair he said: this was not a COnven-
ton of party, but Of Virginia. AT the
close of the war we were assured that
upon the repeal of the ordinance of
secession, the reputation of the Con-
federate debt, and the emancipation
of our slaves we would be res tored to
our rights in the Union; but, instead
of these promises being fulfilled,
policy has been inaugurated to place
the Southern States under the con
troll of an inferior race. We meet to
appeal to the North not to permit
this infiction, this disgrace upon our
rights. We will never agree to the
rule of any alien or inferior race. We
prefer the rule of the bayonet.
Among the Vice Presidents were
Hon. r. NJ. T. Hunter, Hon. Thomas
S. Breck, ex-Gov. Letcher, and others.

MONT PELIER.
Fearful Railroad Accidental Car
Full of Men Backed of an Abut-
ment-SeVenty TO One Hundred
Persons Killed and Wounded.

MONTPELIER, Dec. 11.-One of the
most fearful acciden's known in the
annals of Vermont, transpired to day
at Harlow Bridge, near Northfeld,
on the Vermont Central Railroad.
The bridge was burned Sunday morn
ing, and during the week about 100
men have been engaged rearing a
trestle work for temporary use. Most
of the employ ees, having dined to-
day at Mortified. were returning to
work about one and half miles from
that town, in a passenger car, which
was being backed up to the works.
By some inconceivable forgetfu ness,
the engineer proceeded with them at
a rapid rate, and did not check his
speed until too late, and the whole
car. with its freight of 20 to 100 men,
was backed off the abutment into the
river below, a distance of so feet, the
tender and engine following. Fif-
teen men were killed instantly, and
three or four have since died. More
than as many others are injured,
many seriously, and some, it is feared,
fatally.
