Roger A. Pryor, the once famous fire.
eater, writes a letter in which he ad-
yises his friends in the South frankly to
accept the situation" to adjust their
ideas to the altered state OF affairs; to
recognize and respect the rights Of the
collored race; to cultivate relations OF
confidence and good will toward the
people OF the North; to abstain from
the ~proftless agitations Of political de-
bate; and to employ their energies in
the far mora exigent and useful work
OF material ~reparation and developments

The real cause OF the present Chi

The terrible accident which occurred
at the Hoosick Tunnel on Saturday, the
18th, and Of which we gave a telegraph
ic report last week, resulted in the
death Of thirteen men.
Tue Springfield Republicans cores
pendent briefly states the facts:
The great central shaft, which is TO
tap the tunnel midway, was the scene
of the accident. 1t is situated about
six miles east of Adams, on Florida
mountain, which at that point is a thou
sand feet above the level OF the grade.
A blast had been fired by the foreman
and an assistant; a few minutes after
one O'Clock on Saturday afternoon, they
had come up TO the surface, and u gang
of thirteen men had gone down to load
the debris ON the buckets and proceed
with the work. The first bucket had
reached the upper platform, when from
some unexplainable reason, the gasoline
in the gasometer took fire and the
flames spread with lightning rapidlty
and completely enyeloped the bull ling.
which had been erected over the mouth
OF the shaft. The engineer and others
in the building were compelled to fee
from the flames before the buckets
could even be unloaded, and in less than
half an hour the building fell with a
crash, and the last hope Of safety for
the unhappy men, five hundred feet in
the earth beneath, was gone. Half a
ton of debris and the car and the one
bucket loaded with broken rock, stand
ing on the platform, with burning
beams and timbers, were thus hurled
down the abyss. The majority, if not
all the men at the bottom must have
been crushed TO death, and if any did
escape they soon after persisted from
~sufocation, as the supply Of fresh air
constantly seat down by the the blowers
was cut of, OF were drowned in the
water which accumulates very rapidly
when not carried off by the buckets.
