constructing direct line from New York city,
and working it upon these improved plans, the
company willbe ensbledt to do business at rates
scarcely. Il at all. In advance of present rates
on American land lines.
"A graphic picture OF the Mast Hope catas.
trophe is drawn by World correspondent.
He says the view WAS one Of the most horrid
and sickening speotaeles that mortal eye ever
looked upon. It is said that O. mother perish-
cd with her three young children in her arms,
all being crushed helplessly together by the
telescoping Of the cars. When last seen she
gathered them all in her arms, and thus, un-
conscious and wounded, they slowly were con-
sumed by the remorseless flames. The young
and tender bones Of the little ones were quick
ly destroyed, and but q few shrivelled piooes
could be distinguished from the larger pieces
OF the mother. The remains OF Rev. Mr.. Hal
lock make the best preserved relic OF hu-
mapity in the sad list. The limbs are gone,
but. the trunk and head remain. The
thigh bones protrude through the crisp burnt
flesh, and indicate that the clothing on the
cushion of the seat served as some protection
from the flames. The position OF the form
shows that the body rested easily in the seat
during the process ofoombustion. The skull,
also, is quite perfect, although the extreme
heat had thoroughly dried the bone. The
sharp edges around The top where it is broken
seems as though there had been fracture.
This leads to the theory that when the car
was broken up the tops Of the seats were
hurled violently forward, and some OF these
driving pieces crashed through his head,
brainlng hum and causing instant death. 1t is
thought that he was not burnt alive, but that
he died some time before the flames reached
him. The testimony Of those who last saw
the car, leads to the belief that nearly all the
victims we're killed or stunned IN the first ter.
rife crash, and that meme were actually roasted
to death by slow fire as was at first supposed.

The New School Of Southern Politicians.
A sHREwD observer Of the drift Of poll
tics in the South, is giving his impressions
in series Of letters to the New Y York World.
He sketches the characteristics Of new
school Of politicians who are rising up in
the Southern States, and who, he thinks,
will ere long control the destinies Of this
section. We quote:
"These are mostly young men, and the
events Of the day are giving them stern and
hard education tho country will yet feel. On
all points connected with the past, this new
school sits at the feet Of the old. On the alb
stract righfulness Of secession, on the beauty
Of State sovereignty and what the war was
for, the young men Of the South still listen
with pleasure to the elders. It is only when
coming to the question, What is to be done p
that divergence appears. Here the old school
has but little to propose. It can be eloquent
on the past; but when brought face to face
with the future, permits Indignation to OBJ.
scure it's judgment and paralyze it's ability.
The new school is more practical and more
cool. 1t never troubles it's brain about re-
assertion Of the secession idea, its interest in
any discussion OF the subject apparently be.
ginning and ending with Justification of the
abstract righttulness Of the doctrine; it would
not have the negroes returned into slavery in
any condition; it favors immigration; it be-
lleves in railways, direct trade and internal
improvements; and, above all, it hates the
Radical party With concentration Of enmity
that few in the North, save Wendell Phillips,
and occasionally the late Mr.. Raymond, seem
to have athomed. Some OF the leaders Of this
new school might mention; but they are not
at present men Of any extended repute outside
Of their several States, and the ideas they en-
tel tain lack that cohesion which would make
them Of decided importance Just now. II
there be good crop this year, it is not un-
likely but that some steps will be taken in the
fall to unite the sentiment Of the South in
some articles Of common creed"

stracts the electric fluid from the stormy
sky, in falling, refreshes not it alone, but
extends its benefits to the n~eighboring
fields. The forest, presenting a consider
able surface for evaporation, gives to its
own soil and to all the a adjacent ground an
abundant and enIivening dew. There falls,
it is true, less dew on tall and thick wood
than on the surrounding meadows, which,
being more highly heated during the day
by the influence of insulation, cool with
greater rapidity by radiation. But it must
be remarked, that this increased deposition
of dew on the neighboring fields is partly
due to the forests themselves; for the dense,
saturated strata of air which hover over
the woods descend in cool, calm evenings,
like clouds, to the valley, and in the NOR
ming, beads Of dew sparkle on the leaves Of
the grass and the flowers Of the field.
Forests, in a word, exert, in the interior Of
cont nents, an influence like that Of the sea
