D@In. another column we publish in
full the correspondence between Gen. ROSE
GRAMS and Gen. LEE. and other prominent
gentlemen at the White Sulphur Springs
Va. This correspondence, to our minds
bears the impress of an earnest and sincere
desire to heal the discussions and wounds OF
the late conflict. 1t shows the feeling and
inclination of the leading and influential
citizens Of the South, and efectualIy gives
the lie to. the Misrepresentation and foul
abuse with which the Radical press has
teemed for the. past two or three years. 1t
shows an earnest longing for peace and a
deep and sincere desire for the enjoyment of
those privileges and rights which the Consti-
tuition guarantees to all citizens and to every
State. II shows, too, that the breaches of
the peace, assassinations and other horrible
atrocities, if any such really take place, are
not justly attributable to the people-the
true citzeus of this country but are mainly
the result Of the Radical policy which seeks
to array an ignorant and brutal class against
the whites and thus bring on a conflict of
arms. This correspondence establishes to all
sincere minds, the full and unqualified ac-
quiescence Of the people Of the South in the

A bill was before the Senate yesterday
TO move the place of holding the Supreme
Court from jackson TO Brownsville, Hay
wood county. Senator Norman wished to
have it moved 10 Huntingdon, the county
seat of has county. Among the cogent
reasons for carrying it 10 Huntingdon were
that il was loyal town, and the lawyers
had good library. and there was a good
hotel there. Jackson was spoken Of az
Satan's home and not fit place for the
Supreme Court.
Senator Aldridge thought nothing would
be accomplished by taking it away from
Jackson, as there would be as much Rebel
talk 10 Huntingdon or anywhere else, and
said that you might as well try to stop the
flowing Of the Mississippi az to keep Rebels
from talking.
Never was there word so much abused
as that word loyalty. Under the name of
loyalty the constitution has been violated,
liberty destroyed, public credit impaired,
private rights disregarded and the white
man made the slave Of the negro.
Under the name of liberty the inquisi-
tion drank the best blood of France.
Madam Roland said when ascending the
scaffold: "0h Liberty how many crimes
have been committed in thy name p We
expect to hear in next November, the wall
of the Radicals as they lay their heads
down before the Democratic inquisition,
the ballot-box crying: Oh, loyalty, how
many crimes we have done how many
homes we have desolated how we have
ruined our country and stained our hands
with the blood of our brothers.

Strange Catastrophe i'm the Mountains
"A Brakeman Fatally Injured.
Four Others Hurt. res Feet Of Track
Torn Up, and a TrestIe Work Riven
Pull Particulars.
A strange and unaccounlable catastrophe
occurred yesterday morning on the Nash
vile and Chattanooga Railroad, on thegrade
Of the Cumberland Mountains which de-
scends into the beautiful and wildly pictur-
esque region known as Tantallon.
As the regular freight train for Chattl-
nooga, consisting Of fifteen ears, heavily
laden, was passing over piece Of trestle-
work, the rear freight car and the eaboose
began 10 drag as if some rails of the track
had given way, and in few minutes both
were dashed to pieces, after having torn
up some two hundred and twenty-five
feet of the road and demolished twenty
five feet of the treste-Wotk The CON
ductor, William Jackson, and brake
man named John Farrell. were on top
of the caboose at the time Tim Cal
lahan, another brakeman, and negro
employee, were inside. When the train
stopped at the foot of the grade, the four
persons who were on and in the caboose
were found among the ruins of the two
cars, Farrell terribly injured, Conductor
Jackson insensible, with his head badly
cut and some of his ribs apparently broken,
Callahan severely but not seriously in
jured, and the negro with a considerably
battered skull.
The locomotive, tender and thirteen
cars kept the track, the two rear cars being
the only ones off. As soon IA the accident
was discovered, brakeman Martin Gala
han, a brother of Tim. Callahan, acting
upon his own responsibility, and without
sticking for orders from the conductor, ran
back about mile and signaled and stopped
the approaching passenger train, which
would soon have been laundering down
the grade and over the broken track, MAX
ing double catastrophe, the consequences
of which would have been fearful.
The wounded men were conveyed TO the
depot building, and as soon as possible
three surgeons were summoned. Major
Ewing, General Superintendent of the road,
yesterday sent DR. Nichol, of this city, to
Cowan and Tantallon, Conductor Jackson
being al the former and Farrell at the latter
place. Callahan arrived here yesterday,
his injuries not haYing proved serious.
Little hope ia entertained Of the recovery
Of Farrell. He is a yonng man, sixteen
years of age, and, we believe, has no relaa
tiYes in this section. He has been in the
employ fthe railroad company ak months,
and came from some college.
The cause of the accident is a mystery,
and nothing is left but the conjecture that
il must have been occasioned by a rail
breaking from frost. The train vas run
ming at only ordinary speed at the time of
the occurrence.

The NJ, L. a G. Railroad Again sus-
nausls nnerafEouS

ANN~I
We learn that the employees of the Mem
phis, Louisville and GAINESVILLE railroad
held another meeting IN GAINESVILLE day
before yesterday, appointing a committee
which drafted resolutions setting forth their
grievances and alleging that promises had
been made thss they should be paid on
Wednesday, the 9Th inst. Upto yesterday,
the smoney had failed to come to hand,
and another strike took place, virtu-
ally suspending operations on the road.
Passengers by the Louisville and Nashville
railroad bound South, passed over the
Nashville and Northwestern railroad as far
as Mckenzie, there taking the Memphis
and Ohio railroad for Memphis.
DIR. Clifie, Receiver, and Robert Meek
Superintendent Of the Memphis, Louisville
and Clarksyilfe road, were here yesterday,
but no steps have yet been taken for the
resumption Of business.
The employees claim to have been treat
ed very badly. While Lewis was Receiver
they were compelled to take due bills in
payment for three months service, with no
prospect of redemption. Capt s. b.
Brown, after his appointment as Receiver,
paid up well for a time, but paid nothing
after November last. DIR. Clifie, who was
appointed Receiver on the 18th Of January,
has not been able TO collect enough TO
liquidate their claims.
The present troubles viii not interfere
with the transportation of passengers and
freight between Louisville and Memphis,
as arrangements have been made by
General lines, Of the Nashville and
Northwestern railroad, and Superin-
tepdent Fink, of the Louisville and
Nashville road, by which prompt con-
nections will be made by them to Mem
phis and sll points South. The Louisville
and Nashville railroad passenger train was
fifty minutes ahead Of time yesterday af-
ternoon, in order to makesthrough connec-
tions with the Nashville and Northwestern
line
