FRIDAY EVENING. NOV. II, 1855

A CONVENTION of the sugar men OF
Louisiana, irrespective of political
utilization, was held yesterday and de-
clared against the new policy OF the an
nexation Of foreign territory, not for the
good reason that it is essentially wrong,
but for the selfish one that their own
local interests would be injured by
forcing their products to compete on
equal terms with those of the territory
that has been, aud that is proposed to
he. annexed. But the Northern manu-
lecturers are in favor OF annexation,
because by it their products will be ad-
mitted into the annexed territory free
OF duty, and the sale thereof be thereby
increased. Under old time democratic
administrations the government was
for, of, and by the people. Now, under
g republican administration, it seems to
be conducted solely in the interest OF
few rich people in the North. But as
the voters of that section so will it, SC
must it be; that is as long as suffrage
shall be unrestricted, and men have the
right to buy and sell votes.

disastrous wreck occurred on the main
line of the Lehigh Valley railroad be.
tween Newport and Fairview about
3 o'clock this morning, by which FIVE
trainmen were killed and four others
were injured. A runaway train caused
the disaster. One ofthe trains could not
be controlled on account of slippery
rails and instead of taking switch, in
order to allow another to pass, it tore
on down the road and while travelling
at q terrific speed, one mile below the
switch, it came into collision with the
other train Both trains were being
drawn by two engines, three of which
toppled over steep bank and were ir-
reparably wrecked. The trainmen
were crushed and scalded to death,
some of them being so badly mutilated
that it was difficult to recognize them.
The passengers on both trains were
badly shaken up and a few bruised, but
the best reports here are that no pas
senqers were so badly injured as to be
unable to proceed on their journey.

THE Fourth Virginia regiment when
recently mustered out of service at
Jacksonville was paid off by negro
paymaster. The administration SAYS
its late so-called war with Spain has
perfectly restored the amicable fela-
tions that should subsist between the
people of all sections OF the country,
and yet it does all it can do to revive
and perpetuate race animosities, which,
if left alone, would die out. Negroes
are like children and should be treated
as such, and when they are, they are
happy and contented. Mr.. Mckinley
aud other Northern republicans may
possibly learn this, but not until too
