A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. "A terrible accident
involving fearful loss oflife, occurred at Dixon
ILL.,, yesterday. The rite of baptism was being
administered at point in Rock river, just be-
low the Truesdale iron bridge, and about two
hundred persons, including many ladies and a
number of children, had gathered on the
bridge to witness the ceremony. Suddenly,
without warning, the bridge gave way and pre-
cipitatcd its living freight into the stream be-
low. The scenes which ensued were indescrlb-
ably terrible, as the struggling victims vainly
cndcavorcd to free themselves from the ruins
of the bridge and from each other. Large
crowds of people on the bank rushed wildly to
and fro, and many Of them so distracted with
terror as to be unable to render any assistance
Others more sclfpossessed speedily brought
ropes, planks and boats, and went nobly to
work to rescue the living and recover the dead.
Some of those who were on the bridge when it
fell were so near the ends that they were able
to reach land without assistance. Up to 6 p.
m. thirty-two dead bodies had been taken from
the river, and it is almost certain there arc
others still under the wreck Of the bridge OF
those saved twcnty-four were more or less in
uIcd.

SPAIN AND TIE UNITED STATES. General
Sicklcs, accompanied by members of the u. S.
Legation, on Saturday proceeded to the Palace
Of the Ministry Of Spain, in Madrid and form
ally presented to President Figueras the joint
resolution of the Senate and House of Repre-
scntativcs of the United States, congratulating
the Spanish Government and people on the
passage by the Assembly of the bill abolsbing
slavery in the Colonies He was received With
great ceremony. A guard Of honor was drawn
up at the entrance of the Palace and presented
arms as the Legation passed in, and in the

of Spain and the United States. Gen. Sickles
was met by President Ngucras and all the
members of the Government On presenting
the resolution the General congratulated Spain
on the establishment of republic and the
abolition Of slavery. The last act, he said,
was fresh proof Of Spaiu's just respect for
the national rights Of all men. He continued,
'The United States desire the happiness of
neighboripg countries, and cannot look indffer-
emily on whatever concerns the welfare of the
Antilles. Porto Rico aud Cuba will now con-
tribute more than ever to the power of Spain,
for justice forms the basis ofstrength." Presi-
dent Fgueras replied with a warm expression
of thanks.

CONFLICT OF AUTIIoRlTY.-The Directors
and Superintendent Of the Penitentiary ap-
pointed by the West Virginia Board of Public
Works of that State, after au Intellectual at
tempt to obtain possession, have called in coun-
sci, and it is supposed they intend to seek re-
dress in the Courts. When the Constitution
was framed last summer it conferred large ap-
pointing powers upon the Governor, but the
dominant party in the Legislature have endea-
vored to curtail the powers conferred on the
Governor, and place them in the hands of q
Board of Public Works. Hence the trouble
There are serious threats of impeachment, &C.,
but it is believed the matter will go to the
Courts without further trouble

The MoDoc WAR-A New York Herald lava
bed special of the lst says that nothing is be-
ing done in the way of military operations
against the Modocs at present, The U. 5.
troops are awaiting the arrival Of the Fourth
Infantry, 500 strong, from Little Rock, who
are expected about the 18th inst. The cores
pondeut attributes the loss Of life in the fight OF
the 10Th, to the desertion of Company Il
Twelfth Infantry, and some few Of the artillery
who when ordered to fall back, by Captain
Thomas, and hold bluff in the rear of the
troops to cover retreat, continued to fall back
until they reached camp. The Modocs mean
while secured the position they were expected
to hold. It is said only twenty-threc Modocs
were engaged, and that only two were killed
and two badly wounded.
A dispatch from Washington says:-"Gen-
cral jeff. G. Davis has advised the War De-
partment of his arrival at the lava beds and
assumption of the command. He proposes to
acouaiut himself thoroughly with the whole
situation" before making any further move
ment. He thinks it not unlikely that week
or ten days may elapse before he may see his
way clear to initiate operations, although from
the circumstances of the case another conflict
may be precipitated at any moment

indeed, as the manager Of Mr.. Lincoln himself.

An article is going the rounds of the papers,
stating that gentleman in Philadelphia had
drawn prize of 100000 in the lottery at
Havana which would net $500, 900 when the
discount of 20 per ct. was taken off. The dis
count part of this statement is, we think, al
error. Spanish lottery people arc not, or were
not, so enlightened us ours, and the lucky own
or of the prize will get all his ticket calls tor,
unless things are changed at Havana. We re-
member young man from here, Johu Fur
long, supcrcargo who drew the half of a
$40, 1000 prize in the King lottery at Havana,
and got $4,000 without discount. One OF our
friends was at Havana and saw Murdoch, Story

(M., S. & Co.. were his consgnees, as there
was no bauk at Havana at the time.

Probably in nothing does Gen. Grant show
