Grand total.

OF the years aggregate of casualties
deaths and injuries) three-fourths
were unavoidable as far as the suffer
ers themselves were concerned. Only
one-eighth (eighty-six deaths and
twenty-four injuries) is ascribed to
what may be termed causes controlla-
bic by the sufferers. More trespassers,
it viii be seen, were killed than pass
engers classed under causes beyond
the control of the sufferers; indeed,
fully twenty per cent. of the deaths
arose from trespassing on the perma-
nent way. "Trespasser run over and
killed" constantly catches the eye as
it runs down the list of accidents.

NORTH CAROLINA.

WILMINGTON, August l6.-FOr
week past a personal difficulty has
been pending between Major Engel-
hard, editor of the Journal, and Gen.
Abbot, United States Senator, which
grew cut of an editorial in the Post Of
the Sth inst, in which the editors of
the Journal were denounced as public
liars on account Of an alleged injustice
done to Abbot in reports of his
speeches-no collision or correspond
ence having occurred in the mean
time.
On Tuesday evening Abbot adj
dressed a note TO Engelhard, in which
he stated he Abbott, and not the edi-
tor OF the Post, was author OF the Of
fensive article, and hewas personally
responsible for the same. On We'd
nesday and Thursday there was un-
mistakable evidence that Engelhard
would attack Abbot on sight, but the
vigilance Of the authorities prevented
il. On Thursday Abbot was arrested
and placed under bonds to keep the
peace. Engelhard successfully avoided
arrest until Saturday morning at l
O'Clock. when he was surprised at a
private house by the Sheriff and posse,
end placed under bonds. Sunday
morning Englehard, with three
friends, proceeded to South Carolina,
and addressed a communication TO
Abbot, of which the following is an
extract: b" You must now make a full
retraction Of the contents of that arti-
ale, and apologize for publishing it, or
give me satisfaction to which ] am en-
titled in accordance with the code OF
honor" Monday Abbot, through
some friends, replied in communica-
ton, of which the following is an ex-
tract: BY authority Of Gen. Abbot,
and in his name, we retract in full the
article in the Post of the 8th inst, re-
fecting on Maj. Englehard, and ex'
press our regret that il was written
and published" The GHlende was ac'
cepted by the friends acting for Engel'
hard in a written cOmmqnic9T 9Tion, in
which they stated that nothing that
had appeared in the Journal was an
assault on the private character o.
Gen. Abbot intended, and expressing
regret at it being so construed.

The Memphis and Pacific Railroad.

ETOm the New York Tribune.]
Gen. Fremont's road commences at
the head of navigation on Red river,
and pushes thence nearly due west
through northern Texas, Arizona and
southern California, to San Diego, on
the Pacific. Following mainly the
course of Red river and the Gila, 1t
cannot be nearly so expensive or diff
cult as the central road, already con-
structed, while it will encounter no
obstruction from SHOWS and little
from mountains. Its eastern terminus
will be properly connected with rail-
roads TO Memphis, Savannah and
other commercial points. 1t inherited
sixty or eighty miles already graded
before the rebellion, and which only
failed to be ironed because the Con-
federacy took away the rails, chairs,
etc, for use elsewhere. 1t is pushing
ON the work of grading, has a large
quantity of rails bought and paid for,
has had three full corps of engineers
in the field for months, making the
final location Ct its line through
Texas, which State has incorporated
it, granted it the right OF way, and
1920 acres Of State lands for each
mile of its course through the whole
northern border of its vast domain.
The Memphis and Little Rock Com
pany has voted to unite and cOnsOli-
date with Gen. FremOnt's road,
which expects to have one hundred
and fifty miles of its track completed
and ears running thereon by the first
of March next. Such, according to
the best information we can gather,
is the present status of Gen. FFe-
mont's Southern Pacific railroad.
We do not learn that it is asking our
people to aid it by subscription, loans,
or favors of any kind, beyond the
right of way through desolate
Arizona, which we presume no Con-
gress will vote to refuse it. We hope
and trust that it will be steadily
pushed on to completion, and that
our country will be immensely en-
Tiched by it, Gen. Fremont and his
associates in its construction will not
be losers.
