ST. LOUIS, June S.-A speiarl to
the Globe Democrat from Charlotte
cives an account of an awful accident
on the North Carolina Rilway.
The engineer of train who was
under a full head of steam sawln OBJ
iect on the track some distance head,
which he supposed to be a Dig. 1t
appeared to be utterly unawre of
the approaching train, and th{engi-
neer blew on brakes. At TIN first
sound cfthe whistle the objectroved,
and the engineer was horrifedto see
that it was child. The tran was
within a few hundred yards If the
child, and the engineer reversed his
lever and had all the brhkes ippli-
ed. The child began to crawl rffthe
track, but on reaching the raj, de-
liberately stopped and seated itself
astride of it. The brave elginer
trembled, and the tears came o his
eyes as he realized that it would be
impossible to stop the train leiore
it reaches the spot where the child
was sitting, but bravely swinging
himself out of the window, he sarted
to crawl along the engine to its ront,
with the intention of picking 10 the
child before the cowcatcher struck it.
He would probably have succeeded
in this periloUs undertaking, nut a
lunge of the ehginn caused hin TO
lose his balance, and he was preipi-
tated down an embankment. He
had hardly re9ained his feet bei,re a
piercing scream was heard, aud he
knew the child had been rur d,wn.
The engine stopped within il. leigth
after striking the child, and thei the
horrible task of pulling the maulled
body outfron under the wheels be-
gan. The- body had been cut hat In
two as cleanly as done with knife,
the head part falling to one sidelnd
the legs to the other. A shudderran
through the engineer when he picked
up the head and body of the clild,
and the sensation he experieerced
when it broke into cry was ilde-
scribable. He hastily laid it u,on
the ground, when it uttered the most
agonizing screams before it gave a
gasp and died. 1t was a strange
experience to hear a dismembe,ed
body cry, and the engineer turned
away heart sick.

Destitution from Drought.

DANYILLE, VA, June ll.-Repots
from Patrick county, this state, ire
to the effect that five thousand per-
sons in that county are starving.
The drought of last year greatly
curtailed the crops. In many pG-
tons of the county hundreds of peO.
pie are oiowding around the settls-
mentsimploring aid. A load ofcom
was received at the court house a
few days ago. Before it could lie
distributed hundred of starving
women and children crowded
around the vehicle imploring TO be
given quart or a peck of grain. 4
courier just arrived gives heartrend-
ing accounts of the situation. Tie
court house is crowded with men,
women and children begging for
bread Three hundred of them had
not tasted morsel of food for two
days. This county is very isolated
in the mountains. The nearest rail-
way station is forty-fve miles. In
some instances as much as 5000 has
been offered for a barrel OF flour.
Several wagons with relief have been
pushed out from Danyille and will
travel all night in the hope of say
ing the lives of some.

command at Fort Sisseton, Oak,
stating that thirty-fve lodges of In
dians are eneamped within three
miles of the fort. They are report
ed to be out of food, and their chill
dren are crying for bread. The men
express themselves willing to work.
and some of them are already en-
ployed in hauling government
stores from Webster, Oak. Mr..
Crissey the agent sent word by one
of the Indian police for these par
ties to return to the agency, but
they seemed disinclined to do so.
They say their is no food for them
at the agency. Captain Bennette
has engaged to exert his influence
to secure food and employment tor
these creatures, and is awaiting in

THAT NIe so-calied Independent

brought forth in iniquity has always
been patent to those who took the
trouble to examine or inquire for
themselves. The latest swindle at

EVER since General Beavers name
has been mentioned in connection
with the Gubernatorial nomination,
the story has been industriously
circulated by the Independents
al, over the State that he violated
his instructions as a delegate to the
Chicago Convention. In answer to
inquiries as to the truth of this
statement. the State Committee has
issued the following authoritative
denial:
General Beaver wp- not instructed by
the Congressional Dis,.tuL which lac repre-
sented al Chicago, nor by any county there
of. The only instructions given him, and
under which be acted, were those of the
State Convention, 10 abide by which he was
pledged by the delegates of his county, who
communicated 10 him on their return home.
Beaver was not at Harrisburg in attendance
upon the Convention which elected him a
delegate"
As confrmative of this denial,
William Shortidge, of Bellefonte,
who was a member of the County
Committee, tells the manner in which
the delegate was 81 selected, and shows
that General Beavers position was
thoroughly understood:
"When the Republican Committee Of
Centre county met TO elect delegates to the
Harrisburg Convention which was TO select
delegates to the National Convention at
Chicago in 1850, there was no possible mis-
understanding as to General Beavers posi-
ton. In the first place, Centre county, by
rotation, was entitled to a delegate to the
National Convention. This being under
stood, il was generally conceded by all Re
publicans that General Beaver was our rep
resentative man, and would best serve the
interest of the party. was a member of
the committee and a Blaine man. Prior 10
the meeting of the Committee | called on
General Beaver, and stated to him that be-
lieVed it was the desire of the Republicans
of our county that he should represent us at
Chicago, and asked him for whom he would
vote in the event Of his appointment as del
egate 20 Chicago He replied 81 will vote
]
my old commander. In the event that
General Grant shall be withdrawn or cease
TO be a candidate before a nomination shall
have been made will vote for James G..
Blaine" Before the delegates were elected
20 the Harrisburg Convention ] stated to a
CAUCUS of the Blaine members ofthe County
Committee the above conversation with
General Beaver. we did not believe that
Grant would be o formidable candidate be-
fore the Chicago Convention, and being anx-
ious to serve General Beaver We concluded
that we would give him the support
of his own county and send Beaver DEL
egates TO the State Convention uninstructed.

man. Last year ! voted for Mr.. Wolfe but

would die, say, within thirty days
preceding the election, must the
Republicans be deprived OF a candl-
date. because, although the old con-
vention might lie re-assembled, there
is not time sufficient in which 10

new convention 1h,s is like the
hair splitting tina: denied the right
of Abraham Lincoln TO call out
troops at the outbreak of the rebel
lion for the purpose of preserving
the right of the Nation.
There is no doubt that in accord
ance with precedent, Chairman
Cooper might have called the State
Committee together 10 select a can
didate, but deferring to presumed
public sentiment, he preferred that
the delegates elected for that pur-
pose should perform that duty, and
the caviling at his course is born of
a mistrust of the common sense OF
the Republicans of the State, or fear
of the howl of few implacable NAL
contei It's, whom nothing but an un-
conditional surrender to their de-
mands would satisfy.
