the measure whose operation was intended
for. the equal benefit of the South, that Mr..

no faith in the clap-trap about the Cincin-

repudiate his life long record, he can much

A train of cars was thrown from the track
near Bellevue Station, Canada, at an early
hour on Saturday morning, and the slaughter
which resulted is described as being terrible.
It is supposed that the deaths will reach for
ty. An axle of the engine broke, causing
two cars filed with second class passengers
to telescope and mount the engine, and here
it was that the great: loss of life occurred
The locomotive, being damaged by the terri
BILE shock, permitted the steam to escape in
large quantities, which, ascending to the
shattered cars, converted them into seeth
ing cauldron, and literally scalded the i'm
prisoaed passengers to death.
