BUFFALO, December 10.
An awful accident occurred yesterday
afternoon on the Buffalo Il Erie road,
twenty-one miles from here, near a place
called Angola. The train from the West,
due here ut 1880, TO connect with the
train going Fast, ran OFF the track. One
ear was thrown down bank thirty feet,
the coach burnt up, and some thirty per-
sons consumed by fire. Another coach
wen down a ledge thirty feet, and twelve
or fourteen passengers We're killed and
wounded. As soon as information of
the accident reached Buffalo, word was
conveyed to u number of our physicians,
and by4 O'clock number of them had
reached the depot, and In company with
VIM. Williams, President, and II. n.
Brown, Superintendent, and other on
oials of the road, took u train, and at
5 O'clock the scene ,of the accident was
reached-the bridge crossing the Big
Sister Creek, about n quarter of mile
east OF the village of Angola.
The train To which the accident hap
pened, as before stated, was the Buffalo
Il Erie Railroad, New York Express,
from Cleveland, and due In this city at
1850 PM, but was two hours late, having
been detained by broken bridge on
the Cleveland 4 Toledo Road. ID was
composed of three first-class coaches,
filled with passengers, and smoking
car and two baggage cars, and was un-
der the conductorshlp of Mr. Frank
sherman, OF this city. Silver Greek
was the last station stopped at prior to
the accident, and Angola wH passed
about three o'clock, the train going,
as 1t Is stated, at a speed of about twenty
miles an hour from Angola to the bridge
over the Big Sister Creek. However
the road Is down grade, and II Is posi-.
BILE that the train was going at u greater
speed than that mentioned, when the
casualty occurred. BE that as 1t may

Letter.

Letter.
The following is the private letter to
tie President from Gen. Grant, about
which so much curiosity has been ex-
pressed:
HDQRs. ARMIES OF THE U. g.,
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Aug. Il, '87.
His ErceHency, AntiTSW johnson, IrcSt-
dent of the United States:
SIR take the liberty of addressing
you privately on the subject of the con-
versation we had this morning, feeling,
ns | do, the great danger to the welfare
of the country, should you carry out the
designs then expressed. First, on the
subject of the displacement of the Secre-
tary OF War. His removal cannot he
effected against his will without the con-
sent of the Senate, II was but short
time since the United States Senate was
In session aud why not then have asked
for his removal If 1t was decided on? II
certainly was the intention of the legisla-
tive branch of the Government to place
Cabinet Minister beyond the power of
the Executive removal, and II IL pretty
well understood, 80 far n Cabinet Minis
tiers are affected 10y the Tenure of Office
law, that the bill was intended especially
protect the Secretary OF War, whom the TO
country felt great confidence In. The
meaning of the law may he explained
away by an astute lawyer, but common
sense and the views of loyal people will
give To II the effect intended by It's franz
ers.
Second-On the subject of the removal
OF the very able commander of the 9th
Military District let me ask you the ef-
feet IL would have upon the public. lie
is universally and desorvedly beloved by
the people, who sustained the Govern
ment through its trials, and feared by
those who would still be enemies of the
Government. II fell tn the lot of but
few men to do as much against an ene-
my as Gen. Sheridan did during the re-
bellion, and IL Is within the scope of the
sbIlity Of but few, In this or any other
country, 10 do What he has. His civil
administration has given equal satlsfac-
tion, lie has had difficulties to contend
with which no other District Commands
er has encountered, almost, IL not quite,
from the day lac was appointed District
Commander 10 the present time. The
press had given out that he was To be re-
moved; that the administration was dis
satisfied with him. A This has embolden.
ed the opponents ofthe laws of Congress
within his command to oppose him In
every Way in their power, and has rem
sisrei necessary measures which other
Nriae may never have been necessary.
ia conclusion, allow mo 10 say, as Q
friend desiring peace and quiet, the wei
fare of the whole country, North and
south, that IL Is IN my opinion more than
tbe loyal people 0fthis country,-I NEAR
those who supported the government
during the great rebellion, will quletl,
submit to, TO see the very man OF al
.others. whom they have expressed thei
oonddence In, removed.

OHIO CONGREsSM MURDERED.
Hon. c. 3. Hamilton Killed by an Insane
son--Circumstanceso of the Tragedy.
COLUMBUS, Dec. -.


Special Dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette.
COLUMBUS, Dec. %.
A distressing affair occurred ut Marys-
Vile, Union County, this forenoon. Hon.
&. :. Hamilton, member of Congress
from the Eighth District, was killed by
his son Thomas, who is insade. From
advices received here in regard to this
unfortunate occurrence, II seems that
Mr. Hamilton was in the yard, and that
his son approached him from behind and
struck him blow on the right side of
the head with an AK, killing him in
stantlp. After perpetrating this horrible
deed, Thomas went to the house with the
AK, and before he could be secured he
attempted to kill younger brother, hut
only succeeded in inflicting severe
wound.
Thomas Is about seventeen years of
age, aud his insanity has been of very
mild form, such as would only be readily
detected by medical men. He has at
tended school regularly, and seems to
have been quite diligent and successful
In hisstudles Hisdisposition, however,
has been exceedingly melancholic of late,
so much so, ~ to attract the attention of
his teacher, who brought him to this
city some days ago that he might be ex-
amined by his uncle, DIR. j. w. Hamil-
tion. The Doctor pronounced him al
fected with insanity of an inactive char
acter, and advised the teacher and the
boys father, whom he afterward saw, TO
keep close watch upon him, as he would
time attempt to commit some terrible
deed, II warning which the affair of to-
day shows was not given without cause.
Mr. Hamilton leaves wife and sever
nj children, 10 whom no man could have
been kinder husband or father.

train had crossed half way overa fear
ful jerk was experienced by those on
board, aud the next momenta coach
was detached, and went plunging off the
bridge and down the abyss to the ice, o
distance of some thirty or forty feet.
The brakes were at once applied, but
before the train could be stopped the
coupling of the second coach had become
broken, and IL got off the track and
rolled down the emhankment, landing
on Its side at the bottom. So suddenly
had all this happened that not one OF
the inmates of either of the two coaches
had time to make his escape, and with
out moments warning some forty or
fifty persons were hurried into the pres
ence of their Maker. The scene which
was presented to the eyes,of the inmates
of the other cars when the train was
stopped, was fearful one.
The car which first went over the
precipice took fire instantly, and before
any person could get to it the flames made
rapid headway, and in few moments
was all ablaze. Those persons on the
spot proceeded to render all the assist
ance they could, but only sfour or five
were saved from the burning car.
The remainder, some forty or fifty
men, women and children, were consum-
ed with the car While portion of the
passengers who had escaped gave their
attention to the burning car, the balance
attended to the other, which bad also
taken fire. Fortunately, the flames In
the latter instance were extinguished
before they had much headway, and as
speedily as possible the injured, dead and
dying were taken from the car, and,
with the few rescued from the burning
coach, were conveyed to residences near
at hand. How many pershed in the
burning car it is impossible Ms yet to say.
and very probably will not be known
for some time. The place where the first
car struck ,afterbeing prectpitated off the
bridge, was difficult of access, and after
rescuing the half dozen or so persons be-
fore the flames had made much headway,
10 attempt was made last night to dis
turb the remains of those who perisbed
i'm the burning car. That will be attend
ed to this morning.
The greater number of the wounded
who were unable to take care of them
selves, were sent to the National Hotel,
it heing most convenient. Every ar
rangement possible for their comfort
was made by the officers of the road,
who were conspicuous in vigilant atten-
ton to the wounded.
An examination of the track showed
that the accident could not have been Oc-
casiored from it, and must be referred to
a defective wheel or axle. The real
cause will probably neverbe ascertained.

erontt Views OF Martial Law In Texas

Among the papers lately called for by
Congress, is letter from General Grant
to Major General Sheridan, dated New
Orleans, January %, 1867, in relation to
matters in Texas, particularly referring
to the Union men and freedmen in diff
ferent parts of the State, which, he says,
is truly horrible. He says the govern
ment is denounced, freedmen are shot,
and Union men are prosecuted if they
have the temerity to express their opin-
ions. ..-.t r.i.a
This letter, General Grant, under date
of Headquarters Army of the United
States, January 20. 1867, endorsed as fol-
lows: Respectfully forwarded to the
Secretary of War. Attention is invited
to that portion of the within communi-
cation which refers to the condition of
the Union men and freedmen in Texas,
and to the powerlessness of the military,
in the present state of affairs. to afford
them protection. Even the moral effect
of the presence of troops is passing away
and, u few days ago, Il squad of soldiers
on duty were fired on by citizens in
Brownsville. In my opinion the great
number of murders of Union men and
| freedmen i'm Texas, not only as rule
unpublished, but uninvcstigated, con-
stitute practically II state or or1nsurrectiOn,
and, believing it to be the province and
duty of every good government to afford
protection to the lives and property of her
citizens, | would recommend the dc-
claration ofmartial law in rexas to secure
these. The necessity for governing any
portion of our territory by martial law is
to he deplored. If resored to, it should
he limited in its authority, and should
leave all local authorities and civil tri
bunals free and uDobstructed until they
prove their inefliciency, orunwillingnes'
to perform their duties Martial law
would give security, or comparatively so
to all classes of citizens, without regarC
to race, color, or political opinions, ant
could he continued until society was ca
pable of protecting itself, or until TIL,
State Is returned to its full relation will
the Union. The application of martha
law to one of these States would be
warning to all, and, If necessary, can b.
extended to others.
