The general impression at the scene of
the disaster appeared TO be that the acct
dent came from the wheel leaping a frog,
but Hon. VIM. Williams, President, with
several other gentleman, examined the
track during the evening by the light of
lanterns, and are of the opinion that a
broken wheel was the immediate Cause.
The point where the train left the track is
said to be clearly marked, and if there is
no mistake it was some distance from the
frog.

THE TRAIN

I TIE TRAIN
to which the accident occurred was the
one known as the New York Express.
which was due in this city at $50 yester-
day afternoon. 1t was over two hours
late when it left Erie at 112:43 yesterday
afternoon. q.
1t consisted of four baggage cars, one
emigrant and three irst-class coaches,
well filed with passengers.
The catastrophe occurred OF the crossing
of what is known as Big Sister Creek,
about a quarter of a mile east of Angola
Staton. The creek is a shallow stream,
at the ordinary level, bordered en- the
eastern side by a low fiat, thirty or forty
rods wide, while It's western bank rises
with considerable abruptness to the level
of the surrounding country. The track
of the railroad IS carried over most of the
fat upon an embankment OF earth, from
the termination of which a truss bridge
about q hundred feet in length spans the
creek. The height of the bridge above
the ordinary level Of the creek is some
thirty feet. 1t is constructed without gar
apets, and rooted at the level of the track.
Immediately underneath the bridge a
mill-dam obstructs the bridge and forms
a small pond.

THE MANNER OF THE AccrDENr.

As nearly as can de a~scertained, the next
TO the last car of the train was thrown
from the track on striking q frog at the
switch just this side of Angola Station,
and was dragged over the ties nearly 20
the bridge before the ear behind it became
unseated from the rails. The time during
which this plungine along the ties CON-
tInued was sufficient 20 enable some, but
not many, Of TIE passengers sitting at the
forward end of this car to make their es-
cape from 1t into the car ahead. 10

NOsFmERS Political ECoNOHY.

N~ORFHERN POLITICAL ECONOMY.
We DO not think we could be startled
or suTprized at any proposition, in law,
ethics, or political economy, that might
emanate from q northern brain, in
these days where all the old ideas seem
10 have become obsolete.
f. d. MANSFIELD, Of Porkopolis, an
nounces that, in his opinion it is a delu-
sion that the reconstruction Of the
Southern States is material to the fun
development Of our national resources"
The idea, he thinks, is mere m~oonshine.
The discovery is worthy Of the City Of
Spareribs and Gatherings. The idea
that one half Of q country can Ja0iy de-
velope its national resources, by running
the other half, establishing a military
despotism over it, aud destroying credit,
commerce, confidence and production
together is exceedingly rich. The Lou
isville Courier thus responds:
The idea is that because the southern
people are struggling with all the energy
and industry they possess for the TestO-
ration Of their ruined fortunes, aud
white men are working who never
worked before, that their productive
energies are already pressed TO the high
est limit, and it is impossible 10 stimu-
late them further. II this is true, why
is it that the products Of that seetiondo
not amount 10 more than cDe-fourth of
the amount attained before the war?
The answer to this question contains the
r~efutation Of Mr.. Mansfield's argument.
Il is because that although the people
are, as Mr.. Mansfield states, actively and
industriously at work producing all they
can, they have not the means TO work
with 10 advantage, They have neither

ABEAUTIFUL C0MPLIMENr.

Steele paid the finest compliment to a
woman that perhaps was eve offered.
OF one woman, whom COngreveh had also
admired and celebrated, he says, that
" to have loved her was a liberal educa-
tion." "HOw often" says he, In a dedi-
cation to his wife, "has your tenderness
removed pain from my sick head-how
often anguish from my afflicted heart.
If there are such beings as guardian Il
gels, they are thus employed. 1 cannot
believe one of them to be more good in
inclination, or more charming IN form
than nv wife"

HE Iaborers nor the money 70 pay them.
The war left their plantations dilapi-
dated, their implements, farm buildings

the impairment interference OF the
