HEMPFIELD RAILROAD OBsTRUCrED.
Sometime during Tuesday, a full Of
rocks and earth occurred IN Mcclellan
tunnel on the Hempfeld Railroad, he.
tween CIaysville and TNylorstown. When
the train from this city reached that point
in the evening Of the day mentioned, ii
could not pass through. Whist makes the
occurrence more serious matter than il
would be. ordinarily, il The fact that the
Company has no engine or passenger cars
beyond the obstruction, and the mail, pns-
sengers and baggage will have to be
brought in wagons from Washing
ton 10 the west end Of the tunnel.
This was done yesterday morn
ing, and will continue to be until
the track is again clear. Some Of the
people on board the train, Tuesday even
ing, remained IN the cars I'LL night, and
were sent forward yesterday morning
We hear tllat the tull is so great that il
will take the available force on that diVis-
ion Of the roltl until the close Of the
week 10 remove it. III the meantime the
train Will run regularly TO tho point "r"h-
struction. Such arrangements have been
made for forwarding passengers and bag
gage Tint little delay will be occnsioncd.

;iSERIoUs ACcDENT.-About 9. O'clock,
yesterday afternoon, u large fall Of rocks
and earth occurred in the coal mine Of
AIr.Archibald, just below Sou,hThecling.
One Of the employees, named Alpeter,
was caught under the mass and 50 serious.
Iy injured that It is feared he cannot sur.
yive. The unfortunate man was removed
to the house Of Joseph Huues III the
vicinity, and DH. Hazlitt and Ford sent
tor. On examination they found the spine
broken, the lower cxtrcmtties paraIyzcdi
and the skull around tho LEFT eye crushed.
Several pieces Of the skull bone were re-.
moved, and the poor mans condition
made rs comfortable as surgical and lnedl-
cal skill could do so. The extent and
nature Of his injuries almost preclude all
hope Ofrec0vcry. '''''.'

San Domingo is in its usual healthy pOliti-
cal condition. The Commander of our Naval
forces there writes under date of July 81
President Baez to-day said that the Re
public was in peaceful condition and he did
not anticipate any interruption to the present
state of affairs so long our government
should manifest desire for the annexation
of the Republic to the United States. The
rejection of the treaty caused considerable
disappointment, and some persons, including
both those who favor and those who are hos
tile TO the annexation, are disposed to attri-
butte it to mismanagement and bad faith on
the part of the Dominican Government in its
negotiations. | am inclined 20 the opinions
that the withdrawal OF the protection of the
United States, and of the prospects of annex
alton at some future time, would lead TO a
revolution by Cabral

RAILROAD AccIDENT.-Saturday night, on
the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad, at jerry
Run, the next car from the rear coach of the
up train was precipitated down an embank
ment of 100 feet high and shattered to pieces.
Nine persons were killed and fourteen wound
ed. About forty persons were on the train.
The accident was caused by the truck of
the coach next to the last car running off the
track after passing over the trestle-work and
curve in the road at Jerry's Run, two miles
from Allegheny Station, and eight miles
from White Sulphur Springs. The train was
running at the rate of only six miles an hour,
and up very steep grade.
The conductor discovered the car off the
track, and pulled the alarm bell, and the
train was taken up in very short space, but
the car that was off the track went over the
bank, 1t is supposed that the accident is
the result of the sudden breaking of wheel.

The Sun says a great cutlery Is made,
especially by the Democratic papers, on &C
count Of circular which has been issued by
the Republican Executive Committee levying
upon the Republican oficeholders under the
national Government an assessment for the
expenses of the coming campaign. This out
cry is all humbug From time immemorial
such assessments have always been levied
upon the oficeholders Of both parties, and
generally the Democrats have been taxed
more heavily than the Republicans. 1t is a
pernicious system but when it Is condemned
by mere partisans, for partisan reasons alone,
we have right to brand the condemnation
as arrant hypocrisy.

Official information of the war between
France and Prussia las just been furnished
our government. 1t is expected that a
proclamation will. at once be issued. The
Journal of Commerce thinks it the duty of
the President to issue proclamation defn-
ing the neutrality laws, as there is some
danger, as things are going Oh, that our Ger
man and French adopted citizens may push
these 4" enlistments too far. While our
neutrality laws impose no restraint upon
Germans or Frenchmen, unnaturalized, en-
listing for service on board any French or
German man-Of-war in American waters,
they distinctly prohibit the enlistment of
such persons on American soil all other
persons violate the law if they enlist any
whore within the jurisdiction Of the United
States, on land or sea, or are hired or retained
here to enlist. or leave this country for the
purpose of enlisting, except at their own ex-
pense. 1t is clear that the raising of money
to pay for such enlistments, or the Offering
of inducements to enlist, OF the acceptance
of the same, or the organizing of regiments
or companies in United States for foreign
service, are violations of the neutrality laws.
