The following letters from prominent
citizens will convey some conception of
the extent of. the loss and destitution
Mr.. VIM. Martin says in a letter to the
Republican. Every mercantile esta :
lishment in the town, and indeed every
business house, drug stores, silver smiths,
lawyers Offices. all went down in COM
mon rein, Some SO families are thrown
out Of hocse and home, and most Of them
in an utterly destitute condition. Indet
there are many cases of real suffering for
the commonest necessaries Of life. Not
less than three hundred of our people,
aud many of our best citizens, are thrown
upon the charity of their neighbors, was
while most generous and energetic to re
lieve their suferings are SO overtaxed that
they cannot meet the demands Of the
emergency. In town of about one
thousand inhabitants, more than two
hundred thousand dollars were consumed
ina few hours Our beautiful Court
house stands monument amid the ruins.
This caama;ty will produce great
suffering in our midst, which will be in
creased as the small remnant saved is ex-
hausted. | sincerely believe that no such
calamity ever befel one Of our Virginia
Courthouse towns in the history of our
State.
May God help the poor sufferers, and
raise them kind friends in their time Of
need.
Judge Thos. D. Houston says.
Our town has just suffered terribly.
More than half Of our families are without
homes Or money. a fire on the night Of
the 9Th destroyed every store. hotel and
business place in the town. Hundreds Of
our citizeus are without shelter.
Our country frion Is are aching nobly.
but their resources cannot hold out long.
We are bound to have assistance from
abroad.
these reports of the prevailing distress
and want are made in a number of other
private letters.

Account ofthc Collision.
The Republican reporter gives the fol-
lowing description of the collision and
wreck: The express train consisted of
five passenger cars and one baggage car.
The freight was long and heavy. At tie
point Of the collision is an embankment
fifteen feet high, where the road curves so
sharply that approaching trains cannot see
each other until close together. A boy
standing beside the engineer, Jackson
was the first to discry the smoke-stack Of
the approaching freight train entering the
curve at the east just asthe express enter
ed at the west, he directed the attention of
jackson to the danger. Brakes were i'm
mcdiately whistled down, the engine re-
versed, and the speed of train was some
what checked, but no application of human
power could stop the heavy freight under
half mile. The two engines met with
tremendous crash, reared from the track
and fell into helpless disjonted fragments
The baggage car aud two forward pa@sen-
gers cars Of the express on one side Of the
tender, and several box cars and freight
on the other, were reduced to ruins and
spastered With the blood Of forty human
beings. The two engines were driven
with such force into each other that it was
almost impossible after the collision Ia
distinguish the parts Of one from the
other. fhe crushed cars were jammod
together, the cars being shivered into
| long slivers. The wheels, trucks and
irons we're Blended into an indeScribab!c
heap that rolled down the EN- bankment
The rear cars Of the express shared the
concus5lon, bAt escaped the fall Of the for
ward ones. The engines, both on the
same side Of the embankmcnt. were a hcay
of fragments, while around all sides wa.

and the one next to it were shivcred as il
