TINS rNNrssrE.-While we are happy to say
that the report which was last week teegraphed
over the country, that the steamship Tennessee,
iroighied with the San Domingo Commission,
bad been lost at sea with all ON board, was en-
tirely without any known foundation-neyerthc-
less il cannot be denied that serious fears for.
safety arc being entertained in the best-iniormed
quarters She has now been ont more than l3ui
weeks, while ten days ordinarily suffice to max,
The trip The best evidence in the case, however
seems 70 prove the Ship 70 have heen entirely sea-
worthy, and leads to the conclusion that tho
worst misfortune which She has probably suffered
is the disabling Of her engines-which were new
thus causing the trip TO be completed under
sail. In that case, her arrival out could not have
been sooner expected. The solicitudo of the Gov
eminent is indicated by the fact that vessels hay,
been despatched to clear up the mystery.

Iim RAILROAD HoRRoR. - Twenty-one bodies
have been recovered as victims of the late terrible
disaster ON the Hudson River road. 1t is feared
that others persisted, though there seems as yet
no evidence of it, The legal investigation which
followed, while it failed to establish any gross
carelessness on the part of the road, never
theless to iasteu pecuniary responsibility upon
the corporation. Already $4,000 has been paid
to the widow of the conductor of the sleeping
car The charge Of inhumanly treating the boz
dies OF the victims, seems to be entirely without
foundation

New Coal BANK.-Mr. VIM. Cook of
Hampton has recently opened new coal
mine on his land and situated about three
miles from the Mississippi river. He has
but recently become aware Of the existence
of coal on bis land, and in prospecting
struck rich vein of luck and coal at the
same time, the vein being ofsuperior quality
and four feet thick. Mr.~Cook thinks he
can take out about |, 900 bushels per day,
which is a pretty fair yield. Much excite
ment is prevalent on the subject.
A severe and fatal accident occurred at
this mine on yesterday about 10 o'clock.
Mr.. James Wall, young man residing in
Moline, but who was at work for Mr.. Cook
at the time, was engaged in running
out car load of coal, when
he met with his death. In order to explain
tho manner in which the accident occurred,
il will be necessary to Explain the modus
opersudi OF running out cars The car is
loaded by the digger, and pushed to the
opening of the mine by an assistanti at the
opening a rope with hook an the end is
fastened to the car, which is drawn up an
iucliosd plane by mule power. In this case
the hook became loosened just as the car
reached the summit OF the slope, and as the
car, descending with full force and being
heavily laden, sruck Mr.. Hall, who was q,
the bottom of the track, and una bic to esca pc
the natural consequence was that he was
crushed. He lived but q few hours after
the accident, and expired in great agony.
