TO the Editor Of the PTess: M
1 telegraphed you from here last evening
about the accident on the Grand Trunk Rail.
way, and will now give you particulars, We
had a very heavy rain all day, and on our ar
rival at South Paris the Conductor received
telegram that there was washout Just below
Gorham, N. 81. We ran very slowly from there
up, and about two miles from West Paris we
were obliged to run very slowly over a wash
out After that we found no trouble nnt;l
about mile and half below here. While nm
ming slowly the engine ran safely over the
culvert, but the baggage car was thrown off
the track, and ran about three rods ON the
sleepers. The smoking car was badly DAMAGE
ed, the trucks being smashed. The next car.
which was passenger car, ran into the rear
end Of the smoking car, and the passengers
were slightly mixed, several were slightly
bruised, but the one most seriously hurt was
Frenchman, Felix Verdin, who had his head
cut badly, but is in a fair way for recovery this
| morning. ..-
Through the energetic endeavors of the en-
gineer and conductor and baggage master, as
| sisted by others, we succeeded in getting the
baggage car on the track and brought the pas
! sengers safely here, where mine host Chan
| dler, of the Chandler House, did everything
in his power to make everything pleasant for
| the passengers.
The delegates from Portland for the Oswe-
go Convention were on board, but as far as
can learn escaped clear of all bruises. I find
that Hon. John Lynch, d. H. Ingraham, ESQ,
J. W. Symonds, II. W. Richardson, ESQ, Capt.
J. B. Coyle and j. S. Russell, Esq, are at this
House, and Chas. A. ellison, John A. Poor and
John Neal, Esq, are at the Chapman House
Chandler accommodated 10 at this House, and
should judge there were about 25 at the Chap
man House. There was no blame to be at
tached to any of the employees of the road.
The engineer, Geo. Hilborn, has been on this
road many years, and this is the first accident
that ever happened to him. Conductor Da-
vid Mutt also deserves mention for the kind
and gentlemanly manner in which he treated
| all who were under his care. He ordered a
| surgeon to take charge of those who were

Major Millett, who is Mail Agent on that
train, had his hips badly cut, but nothing Sc
rlous. Our thanks are also due Mrs. Shirley
and daughter, who are boarding here, for their
many kind acts to the ladies of the party, and
we all unite in saying" God bless them"
I have been down to view the wreck this
| morning, and it seems almost miraculous how
we escaped as well as we did. The "oldest
Inhabitants" say they never saw the water
rise as fast as it did last evening. The An
droscoggin river rose eight feet within two
hours. .-. r. -...- .t..
We can form no idea of the amount of
damage done on the road. A wrecking train
left Gorham at o'clock this morning, but we
have heard nothing from it yet. will add
particulars as fast as receive them. r.

GOVERNOR WALKER, of Virginia,
declared in Richmond a few nights
ago, in answer to a serenade, that
his election was an endorsement OF
Grants administration and the re-
construction measures of Congress.
Democratic papers in this Territory
are claiming the election of Walker
as Democratic triumph in Virginia,
when in fact no Democrat in the
State could be found willing TO offer
himself as candidate against the
overwhelming Republican majority
known to exist there. Two Repub-
licans ran, the only question being
the abolition OF the iron-clad oath.
Walker, universal suffrage Radical,
being also a universal amnesty Rad
ical, was in favor of abolishing the
oath, and was elected on that issue,
dividing the suffrage of the colored
people with bis opponent and receiv-
a majority of the white vote. Drown
ing men will catch at straws, and if
Democracy has no surer hope than
the one presented in the election OF
Governor Walker, it had better give
up the ghost.
