Midnight Report.
FROM CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, July IL.
The following further particulars Of the
accident last night on the Chicago and st.
Louis railroad, between Braceville and Gard-
ner. have been received: The scene of the
collision was near covered bridge, which
concealed the trains from each other. The
engine of the freight and the engine OF the
freight express and the second class passen-
ger cars of the passenger train were thrown
from the track. James Branch, brakeman,
was thrown several rods from the car and in
stantly killed. His body was terribly man
eled. George w. Gurnee, news agent, who
was on the platform with the breakman, was
thrown sixty feet in an oppasite direction
and badly bruised Some twenty hive pass
sengers, in the second class car, were more
or less bruised and cut up, but none we're very
seriously injured. Conductor II. +. Monlton,
P. c, Hatchway, baggage master, Frank
Wilkins, the English Consul at Chicago, and
drover from Odell, all were in the baggage
car. which was split almost in two. Hatch
way was so badly injured that he died about
nine o'clock this morning. Conductor Moul>
ton was badly cut and bruised, as was also
| Mr.. Wilkins, and all in the car were buried
| in the debris of the wreck. The brakeman
on the rear car was severely stunned, but not
otherwise injured.
Conductor Moulton and the news agent
rescued those in the baggage car, which took
fire, and also saved most Of the baggage. The
three cars which we're thrown from the track
were entirely consumed. The Agent OF the
United States Express company lost his safe
and its contents, besides all the freight in the
car. The safe Of the Merchants Union Ex-
press company was saved unhurt.
Conductor Moulton deserves the utmost
praise for his exertions in behalf of the pas.
sengers, working faithfully all night to re.
Flieve the sufferings of the wounded passen-
tgers.
There is report, but it is not confirmed,
that Conductor Moulton died at his residence
ct Rock Island junction, at ten q. m. to. day.

PROM WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, July IL.
The Psymaster General, in response to .
resolution of the House, states that no further
legislation is necessary to facilitate the pay
ment of the additional bounties. As many
paymasters and clerks are now engaged in
that branch Of the service as can be pro6ta-
bly, and judiclously employed.
The Secretary Of War sent to the House to-
day mass of papers, kilograms, etc., relas
tive to the execution Of the Reconstruction
act, most of which had been published on
23d of June.
Gen. Grant has sent an order to Gen. Ord,
in which he said: Your views as to the duties
of Registers, to register every man who will
take the required oath, though they may
know that the applicant perjures himself, is
sustained by the views of the Attorney Gen.
eral. Ny opinion is, that it is the duty of the
Board to see, as far as lies in their power,
that no unauthorized person is allowed to
register. To secure this, Registers should be
allowed to administer oaths and examine
witnesses. The law, however, makes Dis
trict Commanders their own interpreters of
their own power and duties under it, and, in
my opinion, the Attorney General or myself
can no more than give our opinion as to the
meaning of the law.
The amount of national funds which has
passed through the Treasurer hands since
March lst, 1861, is about $14, SOC, 100000.
