HORRORS OF THE Rail.
Details of the Recent Catastrophe on tho
Mississippi Central Railroad.

A dispatch from Oxford, Mississippi, gives
the following particulars of the terrible acci-
dent which occurred on the Mississippi Central
Railroad, near that place, on the 25th ultimo:
being behind time on leaving Humboldt, ap-
proaehed @ Buckner's Trestle. which is forty feet
high, and over a ravine, at high speed. The
engine crossed safely, but the rest OF the train
ran of the track, crushing the trestle, and
completely wrecking the baggage, mail, ex-
press, and three passenger cars. The cause OF
accident is believed to have been the unsound
condition of the trcstle timbers, which permit
ted tho rail to slip out of place, and thus switch
of the cars, which crushed through the trestle
and plunged into the ditch. Every car was

Via San Francisco, March l.
The most terrible accident and horrible e1-
hibition of inhumanity known In the East oc-
Cured about twenty miles down this coast at
csc on the evening or January "a. The Unit
ed States steamer Oneida, homeward bound,
colllded with the British Penlnsular and Ori-
entail iron mail steamer Bombay, Captain Ar
thur Welsby Eyre. The Bombay struck e inc Inc,
Oneida on her starboard quarter, carrying
away her poop deck, cutting of her whole
stern, and running one Of her timbers entirely
through the bow Of the Bombay at the water
lines.
Three times the Oneida hailed the Bombay
with ''Ship ahoy," "Stand BY" "You've cut us
down." blew her whistle, and fired her guns,
all of which the officers of the Bombay say
they did not hear, though the guns were dis
tinctly heard ut this port, twenty miles away.
The Oneida went down, stern first, in about
twenty fathoms of water, with twenty officers
and fifty men. The captain OF the Bombay uld
not stop to rescue those on board, nor did he,
upon his arrival here, report the accident or
Inform the authorities. The first known OF the
affair was the next morning, when DR.. Stod-
dard, the surgeon, with fifteen OF the crew, ar
rived on foot But two cutters were available.
and the officers, almost to q man, refused 10
take them while man remained aboard
Discipline was complete 10 the last. The
sick were all being put into the boats, the ofti-
GERS remaining at their posts until the snip
went down. The only United States Govern
mcnt vessel in Japan being the storeship, Min
lister DcLong was obliged to accept from the
English, French, anil Russian men-of-war
steamers, steam launches, cutters, &c; and In
company with Colonel Shepard, Consul at
Yeddo, and Mr. Harrington, proceeded TO the
scene of The disaster, where all In human
power was and is still being done to rescue the
sufferers and recover the bodies OF the lost.
The position Of the Oneida was asccrtaincd by
spar, which ut low tide rises four or five feet
above The water. No bodies have YET been found.
Had the Bombay sent her boats to the assist
ance OF the Oneida. ri or nearly al would
have been saTed. The feeling of Indignation
toward Captain Frye is terrible. None but his
company and a few OF his countrymen attempt
TO shield him.

IMMIGRATION.
THE GREAT QUESTION OF THE DAY.
Charleston MS Port of Entry.

The following letter from General John A.
Wagner, covering one from Mr.. Hendricks,
the general freight and ticket agent Of the
South Carolina Railroad, shows the progress
now making towards directing the stream OF
European immigration to our shores. Gene
raj Wagner is working hard in the good
cause, and we trust that his efforts will be
seconded in the way that he suggests:
ITO THE EDITOR OF THE NEws.I
Through the kind eIertions of Mr.. L. G..
Hendricks, general freight and ticket agent
South Carolina Railroad. the very acceptable
and important arrangement, which his enclos-
cd letter explains, has been effected, thus
rendering Charleston, as q port Of entry, a
cheaper connection Of the great West than
any other Atlantic city.
/ would respectfully suggest to our mer-
chants and people generally to give this fact
the utmost publicity. wherever, in Europe or
elsewhere, their correspondence may extend.
1t will have its influence after awhile.
Respectfully yours,
March 4, 1870. JOHN A. WAGNER.
CHARLESTON S. c., March l, 1870.
General John 4. Wagner:
DEAR SIR-Havlng heard from connecting
roads, beg to reply to your communication
of the 10th February. We can furnish immi-
grants with through tickets from this city to
Saint Louis, Missouri, for $40 o6 each, and

per one hundred pounds for oil extra by rail
