We shall be slow to belive that they have done so, except upon the plainest testiniony. But what of the dead? There is Tom Gray-his isa loss indeed—not only to his wife and children, but to those who had known him long and well, and who re- spected him for the onergy and industry 'which he dis- played in all his undertakings. He was a moat usofal citizen. Commencing business in a moderate way, as & Dlacksmith, he rose gradually to be the head of a’ large foundry establishment, in which, if life had been apared ye would have made himselfcelobrated and wealthy, fo in goue. "Thea, there is Coptain O'Flaherty, a man known to all the Western country by ais connection with steamboats, and the arsirtance which he gave to young and deserving men in building them up. Captain O'Flaherty was a man who had clustered warm friends about him, and his loss ine cant Ithe victims. The urn, Esq. wat amor ¢ vietima. conspicuous position which he he eae asa member of the City Council, »nd occasionally as Mayor, in con- nection with his practice as a lawyer, has made him well known to the whole community, and, outside of his family and friends, there are many who will deplore his inte, Mr. Henry Chouteau was the sentor member of the well known business firm of Choteau & Valle. He was anative of St. Louis, realizing by his own exertions an amount of wealth abundantly sufficieat for any one man, and re- spected by those who knew him well. Only about a year he lost a promising son, by the accidental discharge of a gun, and now the father, though seldom in the habit of going abroad except on business, has yielded up his life in what was intended to be a plearant excursion. E. C. Jeffries, of Franklin, and Mr. Mott, of Dunklin, were members of the legislature, on their way to take their rea » in the House. Mr. Adolph Abeles, a we!l known merchant of this cit; and one who enjoyed the rexpect and confidence of t! community, is among the dead We sincerely deplore his joxs, Rev. Dr. A. Bullard is no more. He wao only two Sundays ago delivered a most eloquent snd truthful dia- course on the virtues of the lamented Giddings, has now been called to follow him to another and better world. He was a man of strict morality, attracting many to hhim by the blameless tenor of bis life, and. the unex. ected termiration of his career will be a source of last- et. Aye CCase was well known to many of our citizens as having introduced the omnibus in St. Louis, and for his mony excellent qualities. Mr. E. (.

To the Pacific Railroad his services were invaluable. Aside from his professiona) eminence, he was a man of exten- sive teotleg, cfenlengl vant, anh wal euulbted to leave his impress upon any aubject discussel by him. We look upon bis loss as a calamity which the State can badly endure. ‘The wonder is expressed on every hand that the loss of life and personal Injury was not greater than it has turned out to be. It was a fearful scene. Car after car following each other in lightning-like succession, it seins miraculous that so many escaped without the loss of life although badly bruised or seriously injured. Great as has been the calamity to the city and to families, we ought to feel thankful that, out cf five hundred n- gers, #0 many should have failed to receive lasting injury. After the accident the St. Louis Grays, Captain Jolin Knapp, and tht National Guard, Capt. Pritebartt, upon the order of their officers, addressed themselves to the work of relieving those who were yet suffering from their position in the general wreck, and to recover the bodies of the dead. In this work they were engaged up to yes- terday. ‘About the time the train were expected to arrive yes terday and last eveni interested in the fate of U depots to receive them. ‘The most intense interest was still manifested as to the fate of particular inaividuals, of whom no direct account had been received. On the arrival of the train at half past eleven on ‘Thursday night Mesers. Thornton & Co., livery stable keepers on Walout street, turned out the whole of their carriages, and placed thein at the service of the wounded and thelr friends, without charge. Mr. R, M. Duboia, of the drm of 9 street, it is feared, is among the killed. heard of since the secide . Amor 1 wounded ix Eugene Longuemare, of this city. He ts badly hurt. james MeDermott had his leg badly mashed, and it is ‘eared that he cannotgrecover. F. Court Dodds had both arm brokeu and foot mashed. John Mullery, of the St. Louis Grays, received very «¢- rious injuries; and Frank Lane, of the National Guard, had his leg broken. Mr, Lane is of the firm of Warne, Meritt & Co. These are the oply accidents of a serious character which happened to either of the military com- ponies. Mr. Houn, who keeps a fam! ocery on the corner of Ww b and Trelith streets, war killed in the third car. There is no truth in the report of the death of Judge Jackland. He dvi not start to go to Jelferson City, but left the cars at Franklin station, and is safe, If any one before the disaster visited the briage at Gas: conade, and after due observation of the locality, made an estimate of the probable loss of life atten lant on the demolition of tem curs densely filled with passengers, in the manner the catastrophe occurred, we venture to ax- sert that one hundred would chave been the lowest num- bar fixed upon. When we take into consideration the tail of thi y beet in front to the bed of the river, and the high embankment on either side ofthe track, covered with stone—the ponderous cara themselves capable of grinding each other intofragments—the wonder Ts ineredbed thas 6 few were killed outright or fatally wounded. There ix hardly a position in which @ car could be precipitated from the track at the point named, that gives a reason. able hope of oncape; and yet with seven out of tae ten, of which the train was composed, plunged headling down the abutment, and then others rolled over the grade, con- taining five to six hundred passengers, we have only the report of twenty-five kitled and mortafly injured, escape of the party was wonderful; and we can well account for the exaggerated statements which gria- ed credence in the city relative to the loas of life, before the facts were received, when it i: kaown that many per- sone re aequainted with the locality, and the in. minent perils it presents. The rails for a rod or two on the abutment were strain cd from the ir position by the first cars that passed over, and this gave to thore in the rear different directions. 4 few plunged directly over the precipice, and then follow ed the balance, some on one side cf the abutment and some on the other. The first and second cars fell nearly straight with the road, we suppose; the third ina more Singenal direction, fwhile around ‘this last others were precipitated sideways. With the fant all wrenched away, it was impo rible to tell the relative positions the ears had occu pi in the train. In some instances they were piled one on the other, and this position most likely conduc to the greatest smount of injury. We observed one car, lyi at a right angle with the bridge, the bottom nearly fo: ovt, and in the space thus made several dead bodies wore observed by those on the outside. Another had been crushed by the proterovs wheels of one in the rear—but whether immediately beind it, it is unpossitle to say— ud in this a heavy lors of life ocurred. The ceiling by the overriding car was crarhed tor bsif it» leugth to the floor, and when the top was removed, we counted five biclees bodies, one with a wheel restivg fully on the brenst. As oon aa the crash was over, a moment of palnfol «i lence ensued, an: then issued frou the wreck meound as the groans of the wounded, the supplications of the im- Prisoned, the screams of the agonired, while bere and ‘here might be observed the upturned fixce of the dead mangled and clotted with bloot, or half buried forms of others whore spirits bad passed away for ever.

The small end they im- bedded in the gravel, and the butt they laid across the stick of wood—the log lying I wise of the track, snd pointing to the east—so that whea the train came along the “‘cow-catcher’’ would run up on the log, and throw the locomotive quite off the track. While was done, officers Beck, of Milwaukie, and Smith, of Chicago, under Sheriff LWeich, of this place, and John’ Van Natter, of Stoughton rere Lying within five rods of those en- greed init. "They then waited somo time, when they eard the train whistle at Fulton station, four or five miles below.

MONEY MARKET. Tumpay, Nov. 6—5 P.

Pennsylvania Coal advanced 1 per cent; Cum Eom Mlinois Central RR. K; Galena and Chicag 4g. After the Board, Erie sold down to 4104144 per cent, and all other stocks’ were lower. The rally yeu terday afternoon was caused by the purchases of stock on account of shorts, bat as soon as the sup port to the market was withdrawa, prices fell back again to the lowest points. The decline im certain stocks has brought in a few small outside buyers; bat the gencral dixporition is to let the fancies run down, so that when a reaction does take place it will be perm nent. There ix a wide margin still left for depreciation, it no favorable change takes place in the complexion of our European advices. The doubt which Langs over financial affairs ix enough to deter now apecntators from entering the market. Under ordinary circumstances, the fall in prices already realized would have geen suflt ciently to have attracted a better class of speculators, and we might look for a gradual recovery, but we are now differently situated, It is no trifling tewporary matter that is at the bottom of existing dificultios; it is no local derangement or expansions, which might have been corrected by economy and contracting; it is np col lapee from extravagant speculation; beyond available capital; it is no want of internal resources—no want of ne- ceerary products for own or foreign consumption—no want of confidence in our domestic affairs, but the probability f adeep, broad and thorough revulsion in our finances, growing out of our immense indebtedness to those nations in Furope now engaged in a fearful struggle tor political supremacy. We are vo completely absorbed in European finances *0 intimately connected with every reverse affecting pub: lic and private credit, «0 dependent upon foreign marke'a for our products and foreign capital, to give activity and tie to every branch of industry, that it is a question if yur great local interests are not more seriously affected by any financial difficulty in London than though it originated In this market.

We are indebted to European capitalists, thit moment, at } 4 three hundred millions of dollars; and what- ever alfeats these capitalists, affects the position of our rcourities, We are not in a condition to return arg amount of the capital loaned us on these securities, and our sensitivenesa when the possibility of «uch a demand arises is perfectly natural.

We shall have another steamer from Europe with » week's later intelli- gence, slong ina day or two, and it would be wise to be prepared for whatever ahe may bring. Hor news must be of the same character previous steamers have brought us,and it may be worse. The causes operating om the London and Paris money markete may bave by this time resulted in ® ponic, and the effect can be easily imagined. ‘We would advire a curtailment of stook liabilities, a re- Guction in supplies, no matter what the sacrifice. ‘The movement may be put off from day to dey, and finally come with most disastrous force at last, A week or two since stock accounts could have been closed up without loss, whereas now auch an act would involve serious differences. It would have been better to have taken in sail at the commencement of the storm, but it in not too late yet, with prompt action fand skilful man- agement, to escape the lee shore.

Many have already been disabled and weakened, but not past relief. Thousands before this have hoon sborn of nearly al! they possessed, who have finally re- covered and prospered again better than ever, We sym- pathize with those who have met with revorses, and would sid and comfort them all in our power.

Rett d sds4 be acse 0 SLO Ni may be recollected that when this stock was run up by Wall «treet speculators to 9 percent and thereabouts, that we charged “inflation,” ‘ predicted loss and ad- vised sales,” W8 showed by figures and other “ atro- cious’? facts that the stock was—at least in comparison with other railroad atockr—ultogether too high. We wish now quite ax distinctly to state that there ix such a ‘thing as crowding even a railroad stock down a little too Sar. Cleveland and Toledo ta worth something. There are many who think it worth considerably more then it is selling for to-day, and they may be coming in at these prices. A road in which there is any vitality at all may be expected to make a pretty docided rally afier w Gail of 30 per cent in ninety days. Limust be borne in mind—a fact that we have repeatedly #tated—that this rond rans over one of the Snest routes n the country, and is one of the trunk roads now lead- ing to the West. New roads are being opened into it from the , which may give it much more businnas than we tmnagine. Buta consideration greater than all, is the fact that Cleveland and Toledo must form a link ia the chain of the great Southern route through Jersey, Peau rylvania Central, Mahoming Valley, &e., now rapidly ap proaching completion, and which, in our juigment, ia destined, at no very distant day, to form the main artery between the East and the West. In view of these things, we should say thatthe stock has been carried down to ax low a point as, wader any eircumstances, it can bo ex pected to reach. If the bearg undertake to press it fic ther they will be likely to love all the profits they have made, When we can say as much of any otherfailrond stock on the het now ruling at prices which may be con: sidered low, we sbail freely say so. Many railroad stooks have en heavily, and may be considered at pre sent prices cheap; but no other possessing any real value has fallen 46 per cent.
