TzRR1BLE RAILROAD, AcorDRv.-,A
fearful accident occurred on Saturday
afternoon to the regular morning train
on the Mississippi Central Railroad for
New Orleans The train leaving Hum
boldt behind time, rapidly approached
Bukner's trestle, which is forty feet high
and over ravine. The engine crossed
safely, but the remainder of the train
ran off the track, crushing the trestle
and completely wrecking the baggage,
mail, express and three passenger cars.
The cause of the accident is believed to
have been in the unsound condition of
the trestle timbers, which permitted a
rail to slip out OF place, and thus switch
off the cars, which crushed through the
trestle or plunged into the ditch. Every
CIR was utterly destroyed The baggage,
mail and express freight broke loose, and
was scattered on the sides of the ravine
into which the wreck plunged. The first
and second passenger cars were shattered
into pieces The remaining passenger
Car kept its place on the track, while it's
forward end rested on the wreck OF the
second car in the ravine, at an inclina-
tion of fifty degrees. Two women and
four children. twelve white and three
colored persons are known to have been
killed, and it is feared some others.

once that the application of the people Of Rock
lin, through Judge Spear TO preernpt the town

the Railroad Company wins the contestant. From
this decision it apr ears the Commissioner holds
that where odd sections have been sworn out as
mineral. and subsequently settlements are made
on them, that when the mineral affdavits nre re-
moved by counter testimony that the lands re-
vert TO the Railroad. Under this ruling no set
tier on an odd section within the limits of the
grant (tweuty niles from the center OF the track)
can hold as against the companyiafter the land is
sworn in as agricultural, except his settlement
was made prior to the 18th day of September,

had asked twenty-five dollars for the horse and
the Chinaman had offered fifteen dollars. The
Chinaman asked how old the horse was but the
Spaniard did not seem 10 understand the ques-
&ion, when Martin Nadel, the Clerk Of The store,
who, we believe can talk some Spanish and some
Chinese asked the age, of the horse and was an
swered by the Spaniard saying he was five years
old. Nadel repealed the answer to the China
man, when another Chinauan rushed up to Ma

man off the Ncps or platform in front OF the
store, tas Chinaman coming back again. Mabel
again struck or pushed him Oft the platform; in

RADICAL KNOw-NOTHINGIsM

If the foreign population of Memphis
want to know who are their friends, let
them refer to the organization that de-
stroyed their churches in Philadelphia;
thct would break up their schools in New
York; and that did on the 18th of May,
1863, burn Catholic churchin jackson,
Miss, when Gen. Grant commanded,
and was in the city at the time. So says
the gallant Captain Bedford, whose We
racity none will question--and they can
distinguish between them and their enc
emies. If the demi-god of this party
while in command would permit the
burning ofyour churches, what do you
expect from his subordinates of Radical
stripe? Can it be possible that any for
eigner can affiliate with this Know-Noth-
ing. Radical negro-worshiplng set of
men, whose souls are but the essence of
all that is mean, and who, had they
power, would drive every Irishman aAd
Catholic into the sea2 We don't believe
our foreign population will again be
misled by corruption and trickery Of a
Know-Nothing, Radical cabal.
