War rumors were plentiful. It was said that Stanton was not at the ball because he was busy strengthening the defences of Washington. The wildest Teports flew to and fro, ° ‘THE COLORED RACH. In spite of the reports to the contrary, not one negro Was a guest at the ball. Numbers of them were on hand as waiters, however, and were on view in the outside halls, The retiring rooms of the Presidential party wore exclusively attended by negroes. This waa the only con- cession to the African race, Apropos of this another bit of gossip.

From passengers who were in tho train at the time of the collision we have received full particulars of the disaster, On Monday evening tho eix o'clock expreas left Wash- ington for New York gt the usual time. All went well until half-past two o'clock yesterday morning, when the train was passing through Bristol city. Here it ran inte the twelve o’clock train from Kensington to New York, which was two hours behind ita time, There was ‘an oil train in front of the Kensington train, so the lights had all been placed infront, and, through the gross nogligence of those in charge, no signal lighte were ex- hibited in the rear. The crash of the collision was felt throughout the length and breadth of the express train, and the fireman was killed on the spot. The engineers marvellously escaped. Uponthe Kensington train the effect wag still more disastrous.

The ab- sence of negroes was much remarked. They were so couspicuous during the inauguration ceremonies at the Capitol, and the reception and in the procession, that every one expected to seo them dance the Juba or Virginia reel before the President. Nobody could have objected, probably, had they been present, for this was a thoroughly mbolition ball, ail of th® old Washington aris- tocracy refusing to attond. But cither the inclination or the ten dollars was wanting, and the colored race was up- represented. steam filled the compartment, scalding such of the pas- gsongers as were not thrown out by the collision. The third car was thrown across the track, completely block- ing up tho way; but the passengers, happily, escaped with @ fow bruises, Not so the unfortunate passongers in the other two cara. The shricks and groans of the wounded and the dying rose from every part of the Gibrés, and every step taken by those who came to their assistance only disclosed new scenes of dread. Three dead bodies were soon extricated, and then arose fresh horrors, for the last car but one was found to be on fire, and all the passengers were not yet extricated. Men yan hither and thither panic stricken, and cries for ‘water were everywhere raised. Providentially there was water close at hand, and the flames were extinguished before they had obiained any great hold. Meanwhile the uninjured passengers and the railway officals were energetically laboring to resoue the wounded from 'the ruine, ladies of tho city proved themselves ministering Is indeed Immediately on learning of the accident they hurried to the scoue and made coffee and served out brandy to the injured, whom they tended with genuine womanly care, One lady—Mra, Thomas—whoee name deserves to be placed on record, took two of tho worst wounded mem into bor own house, and one of them subsequently died there. Dr, J. H Phempson, of ‘Washington, who was in one of the trains at the time of the catastrophe, rendered invaluable assistance, He broke up cigar boxes and made splints for the broken limbs, and, alded by ene of the tocal surgeons who arrived about an hour after the accklont, Me did every- thing foe the wounded that medical skill could suggest. Amistance hed been sent for from the United States General Hospital, about two mites off, but did not arrive until too late to Be of any service All the Injured had by that time been removed to the neighboring taverns end houses, and thelr wounds had been dressed. AS Will be scen from the list subjoined, nearty all tho suffercrs were soldiers, and fifteen or twenty of them wore returned prisoners, who, just released from Libby prison, became exposed to worse dangers while peacefully travelling in their native State, Others were New Hamp- shiro soldiers from the front, returning home on furloagh to vote at the approaching elections. H was nearly nine o’clock in the morning when the line was cloared. A train then came up from Trenton, and brought such of the passengers as were able to travel on to New York, Three dead bodies had then been recovered. There were two soldiers miasing and over forty persons Injured. A RETURNED SOLDIER'S STATEMENT. I was returning Lome to Hartford on thirty days? fur- lough, after being confined five months at Rishmond. I was in the last car of the Kensington train, The train had ran very slowly all the way until we got to Philadel- phia, for what reason Ido not know, and we were two hours behind our time as we parsed through Bristol. I was just dropping off to sleep when I was awakened by a crosh. First, the roof of the carriage came down on my hoad. Then the floor seemed to upheave, and I saw a gap through which I plunged and escaped outside, The next moment the carriage was shattered to piecca, AS soon a8 I could collect myself I shouted for my mate, who bad beon sitting beside me, but could seo nothing of him; nor did I wee anything of him till 1 found his dead body in the rutna. It was such a panic stricken scene that no one seomod to know whore they were. Most of the mon in my car were asleep when the accident eccurred. I found I was tnjared in my head and spine, and I went into a house to get my wounds dressed. It wasa beautiful moonlight night, and when I got out again I could see the extent of the accident. It wasa sickoning sight—worse than any Thave seon on the battlefeld Tho cries wore terrible, and almost every one was seeking for some comrade.

Then the doors were thrown open to the guests, who dashed in pell-mell in dreadful confusion, Indies being crushed against the walls, or dragged half fajnting through the crush. Men tried to tear down the temporary doorway. The table was cleared almost in a moment, and after the first ten minutes the waiters could bring nothing except fora fee.

TO THE RDITOR OF THR HERALD. New Yonx, March 6, 1866. Permit mo to say that the articles (‘Cards’) which you published in your edition of Sunday, headed “Relations of the Fenian Brotherhood to the Catholic Church,” do not tn any way embody such “relations. The utterance of his Grace of Cincinnati cannot be made to represent the policy of the Catholic Church towards so widely extended and powerful an organization as the Fenian Brother. hood.

One of Varragut’s Heroes. TO THE HDITOR OF THE HERALD. Gratitude prompts me to make public through you the kindness done me by the Sunday school connected with the Sixteenth Baptist church, Samuel C. Burdick, Esq., Superintendent. On board of Admiral Farragut’s flag- ship Hartford, during the capture of the rebet ram Ten- nessee, in Mobile bay, I lost both of my arms by the ex- plosion of a shell from the ram Tenucasee, 4 good lady m the above school took an interest in me at thix Sol- dters’ Home, 194 Broadway, and invited me, on last 5! day, to viait her Sunday school. To my great surprise the superintendent, in a very earnest and patriotic ad- dress, introduced me to his school, numboring four hun- dred scholars, the result of which was that the scholars and teachers began to fill my pockets with greenbacks and currency, to the splendid sum of $40. For this en- tirely unexpected gift I feel very thankful to this orderly and interesting Sunday school—true friends of the wounded soldier, I learn thata deputation of scholars from this school intend spending the evening of Friday, March 17, with the sick and wounded soldiers at the New England Soldiers’ Relief Association, to interest them with a variety of songs, declamations, &c. Will you, deor sir, assist a disabled soldier in making known these marks of k.ndneas, RICHARD D. DUNPBY, 194 Broadway, N.E. Soldiers’ Relief Aswociution, Maxcu 6, 1665. Arrivals and Departures.
