HAVANA, Oct. 16, 1868, By way of Santiago de Cuba on the 7th inst. we have received the following items of interest from Venezuela, additional and confirmatory of those heretofore published. The dates are to the 3d inst. General Mariano Lopez, who marched to the val- ley of Tuy, commanding the forces of the general @overnment, had pronounced against the authority of General Mendoza and In favor of General Domingo Monagas, and was exciting the people in his vicinity ‘to join the standard of the latter. The defeat of Colmenares and Juan Ramon Blanco Bilva by General Norberto Jimenez ts confirmed. The former had from 400 to 500 men. Jimenez in his re- aan says:—The enemy had fifteen killed ana fifteen ounded, and that he had captured fifty small arms and thirty prisoners.

Hubbard and Gilion, who were commissioned to pur- chase her. She isa side wheel vessel of 700 tons and called the Maratanza. She was formerly of the ‘United States service and carries one 100-pounder and four thirty-poundera, President Salnave left here on the evening of the 20th uit. on board the corvette Alex, Pétion for tue South. He landed at Petit Goave the follow. img day, when he assisted ata Te Deum. tt is reported that he continued on to Abricots ang will attack Jeremie first, We are without news of his doings there. We have reliable news from Mira- goane. The rebels are 8,000 strong and have fortified the bridge, their present headquarters. Heavy pieces of artillery are also mounted on the forta in this part of Miragoane, and they are waiting with anxtlety the arrival of the Alex. Pétion to.exchange shots with her. They ere confident and determined and wi)! fight to the last, as it is believed that if taken by Sal- nave they wil be shot down. General Domingues, of Aux Cayes, has been named President pro tn. in the South, and General Nissage Saget in the North, John Lyneh is commander in chief of the revoln- tionary forces. Gonaives and Cape Haytion are still in the hands of the governmeut, thongh closely besieged by the Cacos. The lateer are very inactive. Since the evacuation of Port au Prince they are at St. Marc and though in considerable force are doing nothin It is stated, however, that they have mace great p parations to defend the place when attacked by Salnave. There is a strong fort here and the naturai advantages for defence are great.

Cape Haytlen Was also in possession of the government, and great rejoicings, with religious ceremonies, had taken piace there in ce'ebration of th pation of Petit Goave and the destruction of the steamers Sylvain and Liberte.

Pesttion of Lersundi as to the New Order of Thinge—State of Havana and the Attitude of the Oficiale—Rumors—The Spanish Resi- dents Favor the Change—The Sale of Cuba Favored by Them—The Insurrections, —_ Havana, Oct, 17, 1868, General Francisco Lersundi, Caytain General of this island, in @ prectamation dated October 11—of which you have been advised by telegraph and a translation of which I forWarded you—recognizes the facts of the Queen's departure and the establish- ment of a provisional government in Spain. The document, as will be seen, is extremely non-com- mittal and will in no way militate against a favora- ble reception of the old soldier by his royal mistress should he ultimately conclude to join that unfortunate lady in her exile, At the same time there ia nothing tn it with which the new government can reasonably find fault. In his conversations and addresses ofa public character since the initiation of the revolu- tion he has been equally guarded, at all times pro- fessing himseif only anxious for the quiet and pros- perity of the province over which he rules, and ex- pressing his determination to deliver up his charge to the nation when called upon, in at least as pros- perous condition as he received it. It is trae that he has not thought it necessary to express his opinion a3 to where lies the authorized voice of the nation, but the very general impression is, and correct, no doubt, that he will retire before any appointee made by the provisional government. That he will be su- perseded Is certain in light of his antecedents. He has always been a consistent royalist and firm sup- porter of Isabella, and was, if I mistake not, presi- dent of the commission which tied and condemned Prim. Naturally there are many speculations, which, going from mouth to mouth, soon reach the dignity of assumed facts, in reference to the course he will hereafter pursue, and on every side is heard talk of an expected feet to blockade the port and compel Lersundi’s surrender, of mutinies of the troops, of risings of the Spaniards, of movements by the creoles, of secret juntas meeting at midnight and issuing plans in which liberty of the press, of con- science, the disbandment of the army, pao ned tion, rose water, gus and gaiters are. the prevailing ingredients. Meanwhile, Havana, at least, is quiet, and has been so. In the various. meetings between his Excellency and the officers of the at and navy @ general unanimity has prevaile and a determination to preserve the peace of the province and remain neutral as to the eventa inSpain. There -has been perhaps one or two exceptions to this, It is stated on good authority that the commander of one of the war vessels stationed here has been ar- rested and that his vessel is furnished with supplies from day to day. If this istrueit has resulced in nothing of importance, and everything has moved along peacefuily, at least upon the surface. ‘The popniar opinion here on the part of the Span- jards 1s unqualifiediy in favor or the change. This ig true, too, as a matter of sentiment of the creoles, who are hesitating and fearful asto the course of the new _ government in regurd to emanci- pation, With the example of the United States before them, or without it, they have no desire for the sudden irruption of labor system which has existed for centuries and be- come interwoven into the very framework of society and without which their immense estates wouid be- come valueless and the negroes a burden to the State. This unfortunate state of public opinion is owing to anentire absence of P fanthropists to teach the ple that a negro will work when he is not obliged The attention of Brudder Greeley and bis cola- borers is respectfully solicited. As to the sale of the island to the United States it Is favored, if at all, only by the Spamards, the sla- very pension, rendering the creoles bitterly opposed to such an arrangement. As stated by telegraph and in my despatch of the “There was a yising at Yura, in the rurisdiction of Manzanillo, on ‘the 10th of a party of peasants, the ringleader of which or the object is not yet kuown, It is presumed that some bandits, pursged fron other jurisdictions, have joincd them, The affair can be of but littie importance, as a small party of soldiers that had gone eut from Bayamo in pursuit caused the insurrectionists to fee after exchanging & few shots. Probably ine betier to hide themselves they abandoned five muskets, one carbine, four machete knives, one lance and ten saddle horses. One man was left dead on the field ; one of the s0!- diers was slightly wounded. A considerable num- ber of troops are moving from Santiago and oiher points, with a view of quickly exterminating the band and so prevent others joining it, the more particularly ag the preservation of order is at the present moment paramount so as not to seopi dize objects of immense social importance.” sur is the tenor of the statement submitted to the good people of Havana, through the official Gazvtte, Pri- vate accounts, while without detail, give a different color to the affair. They state that an insurrection of considerable magnitude has broken out under twoleaders named Aguilera and Césapedes, incited by the large contributions exacted by the govern- ment; that it has ramifications from Cieniuegos the eastern extremity of the istand, and that it is likely to result seriously, The revulutionists had taken possession of the town of Tuiias, thirty leagues froin Puerto Principe, sacked the omcia, building and destroyed the telegraph slation.

The troops had made 4 general onslaught, resulting in the capture of six- teen of the princtpals and aixty of their followers, Among the former were two brothers of Manuel Rojas, the leader of the revolt.

A great deal of dissatisfaction exists here in conse- mence of the Retrenchment bill, which had passed the Lower House, being rejected by the Council. The Legislature intends petitioning the Queen on the subject. The new Governor is expected to arrive in the next steamer from England, when Governor Raw- son will go to Barbados. ‘The question of making Nassan a free port is being agitated as the only means of saving the colony from bankruptcy.

On Madison street, near Jackson street, is a school building which was erected in 1833 for the Pab- ite Schoo! Society, and which, in the natural order of events, became a portion of the charge of the Board of Education. For many years the house stood as it was originally constructed, and, of course, did not possess *‘all the modern improvements.” | Tn 1856 It was altered somewhat and enlarged so as to afford more facilities to the residents of the neighborhood. But the alterations were by no means as complete as was required, aa the number of children in that section of the city wishing to attend the school,was constantly increasing. Last year the Superintendent of Buildings and Repairs of the Board of Education, Mr. James L. Miller, added his testimony to the ap- peais of the Commisstoners and local school officers: of the district, and impressed“ apon the Board ef Education the necessity of making extensive altera- tions so as to insure to those attending the school better accommodations and more comfortable and healthy apartments. The way by which the pupils of the upper departments were obliged to reach their classes and assembly rooms was by means of an ex- osed wooden stuirway at the back of the building, a closets for the use of teachers and pupils were old fashioned sinks, located in the yard at either side of the building. There was no sewer connec- tion, and the play-ground, being some feet below the level of the sidewalk, Was uecessartly damp and un- heathy. The miserable wooden stairway at the back of the house has been taken away, thus leaving the windowa at the rear of the building nnobstracted and affording better light and ee 3 for ventilation, The polsonous sinks have Heen removed, the yards at cach side of the bullding have been dug down several fect, and most complete drainage and sewerage effected. Two new wings have been erected on the sites of the old sinks; two Stone stairways have been built; convenient aud commodions closets have been conatructed, and by the lower the yards ateitner side the play- ground receives better light and much freer and purer Ventilation. Everything has been done that could done to make the building worthy of the Purposes to which itis dedicated. The alterations Will coat iy $85,000, bat they have becn made 20 complete that the ‘school is now almost as good as new. ‘the stony nae tre of the soi in the yards longation of the time allowed for the completion of the work. [t was prosecated, however, with alt commendable haste, and on Faiday morning lass the eohooi was formally reopened. A large crowd of the residents of the jocality was present at the opening and a very large attendance of pupils in the various departments. Short and pleasing exercises were performed in each department and appropriate ad- dresses were made by Commissioner Coop (who pre- sided on tie occasion), Mr. #.L.Larremore, President: of the Board of Bducation, Mr. Jamea 1, Miller, 8n- rintendent of School Bulldtags, and others, ‘The iulding, with its mew acquisitions, seemed quite comfortable, the teachers and pupils looked cheerful ‘and contented, and tbe visitors were evidently highty pleased with the appearance of the building, the bearing of the teachers and the exhibition by the pupiis.

The Catastrophe om the Hudson River Rail- read—Five Care Dash Into a Ravine and Become a Total Wreek—Sad Incidents and Affecting Scenes—List of the Killed and ‘Wounded. It 9 only. when a frightful calamity hes passed away—yet leaving behind the sad monuments of its destruction—that people begin truly to realize its terrible resutts. Staggered, pallor-stricken and almost mindless for a day or two, passengers who have escaped from railroad slaughter entertain but a dreamy recollection of the tragic scenes in which they were participants. Revolving gradually before the vision, the spectacle presents itself first ob- acurely, and then it rises up in all its terror. The accident on Friday night on the Hudson River Rail- road will not easily de forgotten by the many who were providentially saved from ao horrible death, It is the unanimous opinion of those familiar with the eircumstances that no catastrophe of the kind (for death seemed inevitable to all), attended with less serious conse- quences, has occurred for years. It must neverthe- less be regarded as a sad epoch on the Hudson River Railroad, and the stains of innocent blood beside the fatal track will mark the spot with a gloom that time itself perhaps will not eftace, The enormity of the disaster is not to be measured by the loss of one, two or half @ dozen lives, but by the risk which probably a hundred times those numbers underwent; for risk is always indicative of danger, leaves ground for fear and beyond question pointa strongly with the finger of censure, The details of the sad event already published in the HERALD have,minutely de- scribed its principal features, yet a brief outiine of the harrowing scenes will not, perhaps, be devoid of a melancholy interest. : ‘THE TRAIN left New York at hali-past six P.M, It was tire night express, There was a full complement of pas- sengers, and all, bent on their different pursuits, took their seats as usual, according to their vari- ous intentions, The entire train consisted of the lo- comotive and eleven cars—two express cars, one baggage car and eight coaches, It does not appear from any statement whatever that the engineer drove faster than 18 the ordinary rate of speed for that particular express. Having partaken of some refreshments at Poughkeepsie those having engaged sleeping cars, of which there were five attached, be- took themselves to rest, and were soon lost in slum- ber, for the night was cold and dark and most of them destined for a journey of two or three hundred miles. The four passenger cars were weil filled, mostly by women, and, as it appears, the constant, monotonous din of the locomotive had luiled a good many to rest. Up to cleven o'clock not the slightest incident had marked the way, and the train pro- ceeded on its usual time. THE SCENE OF THE DISASTER is situated about two anda half miles this side of Albany, well known to the employés of the road as Lent’s crossing. There is nothing striking about the place, and were it not for the direful calamity with which it is now characterized would probably not be remarkable in any respect, except for the dense brushwood and marshy spots which surround tt. To the right there ts a declivity of some ten feet, and a little further out stands a weédy, murky and ex- tensive pool, appropriately designated the Dead Creek. A muddier or a meaner puddle could not’be found, though those familiar with its stagnant water say good fish probe their way through its inky course. ‘Trees, of stunted growth, with idle branches, leafless and forlora, bank the creek on either side, while a treacherous pathway, evidently on good terms with the pool, leads to the fattest of all fat bottomed boats, which, pushed, in canal fashion with a pole, wearily ploughs its way to the opposite side, near which is the high . Yet, however abject the place may appear, it 4 just. as well the catastrophe occurred there, if it were to happen, as subsequent events will disclose. THE SLAUGHTER, The tram was due at Albany at precisely twelve o'clock. The speed of the locomotive is variously estimated, some affirming that it was proceeding at the rate of thirty-five miles an hour and others that it was barely going twenty-eight miles. At all events the engine driver was not proving tore Fap- e train reached Albany he would have only arrived at twelve o'clock. It is generally afiirmed that the engine driver acied with much coolness and courage ating, the at crisis that ing the fatal spot the engine passed over what is believed to have been a broken idly thanthe time set down, for hi was at hand. Approachi rail, or perbapa some obstruction on the road bed, ‘The train was drawn by the “Poughkeepsie,” With a commendable acuteness, if true, the engine driver, at once understanding the imminent peril, at once ing the speed, in- tending to take the whole train in safety over the spot. Other versions state, however, that once knowing the rail was broken, blew “breaks Pot of ‘which, from all the circunstances, appears opened the throttle valve, in have been the most judicious course. The cars passed over th bi and express @ parted ral without sustaming any injury, but meanwhile the rail had been located, and the smoking, which was the next in order, containing some fifteen or twenty men, snapped the coupling and rushed down the embankment to the right and, bounding in the air, turned upside down in an instant, sinking somewhat in the soft clay. Marvellously, but few were injured, for the men clutched with the gp of death, and beyond u few comparatively slight bruises: nearly all escaped. But the sad scenes were close at hand. Jerked with tremendous power, the passenger coaches nd one sleeping car followed suit and, whirling in the air, jum violently into the bank and dashed down the little precipice like an M4 an agonizing screams. Most of the women were without the shrill cries of the poor crea- tat, The second and third car made two compicte revolutions, finally thundering down against the earth with @ tremen- dous crash, smashing in their ends and settling down w pitiful wreck. The second car lanche, aiid the most heart-rending shriek: inale protectol sures rent the crushed the roof and fell upon the person of Mrs. sarah A.

The scene was appalling; not in twos or threes, Dut in tens and twenties, boman beings struggied tn every postare. if was but a moment, and every one awake grasped at something to cling to dear life. Crash went the smoking car, the telegraph post tn tg, then swerving from the course came the others, bounding and jumping like empty bandboxcs, Nearly all the passengers in the sleeping cars siumbered more or less, the first idea of the awful sitnation being suggested to them by the terrific crash, the thad against them of some fellow passenger or being thrown head! om the floor. Pour sleeping cars reroained on the track, and the only inconvemence suffered by the inmates betug the terrible shock experienced by them, Pas- sengers who had escaped uninjured stood pallid with excitement and barely comprehended the exact position of affairs. In the passenger coaches men were hurled up and down and frenziedly clutched at everything, The cars that ran off were smashed to atoms, and how. #0 many escaped is a wonder to those who have witnessed the debris. The subse- quent scenes are said to Have been most painful apd the way snapping tike a twi atfecting. Subdued moans were heard on all sides, while iriends sought friends im blank dis. may. One lady had three children with her, the oldest not more than six years of age, and aithough they were in the cars that suffered the most from the accident every one of them escaped unhurt, The two children of Mr. and Mrs. Hermiston were slightly burned by the siove; but, in the exeitement attending the disaster, became separated from their parents, ‘Kiter @ search, however, they were restoréd to the arms of their mother, who, though experiencing great pain her- self, insisied upon taking charge of them. The father was quite helpless and suffered much from lus broken leg and the burns upon bis person, Many persona were slightly injured from falls and knocks, but were in no way incapacitated from proceeding on their journey. The engineer, discovering the ac- cident to the cars in the rear, started for Greenbush to procure assistance. The train for Troy, which connects with the.New York train at this piace, wag backed down to the scene of the catastrophe and the wounded and other passengers were transferred from the wreck to the relief cats, None of the em- ployés were injured, except one of the brakemen, Who was slightly scratched. ‘The following list of wounded persons was con. veyed to the Delavan House:— John Davicson, Lyons, Wayne county, N.

Various statements are put forward as to the cause of the accident. It is generally conceded, however, that it can be traced to the broken rail’ but, whether it was parted before the engine crossed it, weems to be a question‘of difference. {1 is state:t that some men were repairing the road, but fatied to secure it at this part‘cular point, while others con- tend that the previous rain, succeeded by a hard frost on the night In juestion, contributed much to the breaking of the track. But these are mere rumors, and an investigation will probably bring matters to light, and from the statement and hints that will no doubt be given It is surmised that the true cause will be set forth, and that at the sac- ridce of two or three human lives and the sufferings of @ dozen some effectual means will be adopted whereby travellers can go their ways without the momentary risk of death from the negligence of those upon whom their earthly existence for the time depends. The mournful recollection of Friday night will long linger in the minds of many, TRE DEMOCRACY IN SECRET SESSION, A. Onkey Hall Makes a Speech—Piety and Politics—Registrars and Inspectors of Election in CommitteeFraadulent Naturale ization Papers. In pursnance of a resolution passed by the Tam- many Hall General Committee on Monday, the 19th instant, a private meeting of the Democratic regts- trars and inspectors of election was called yesterday afternoon at Tammany Hall, for consultation with Messrs. John Fox, George H. Purser and A. Oakey Hall, the committee appointed, and with exch other. At three o’clock the meeting was cal'ed to order by Mr. Maun, who stated that he was informed several radicals had come to the meeting and were then in the house. This, in itself, was no harm, for it was possible the hall was mistaken for @ church, as ali radicals were fond of going to church. (Laughter.) Now he had been to church that day, bat for al! that he thought the duty for which they had assembled was almost of as much importance as going to church, God first and your country next. (Ap- planse,) A cancus of the republican part y—the rad- tca's—had been held some evenings ago, at which Horace Greeley, Elliott ©, Cowden and other great repub'ican lights were present. Now they had done certain business there which was prudently Kept se- cret, but Horace Greeley, like all old maids and old women, let the secret siip out In his 7/foune next morning, and tt was found that the radicals were about to repeat the frauds of Philadelphia, where over 13,000 naturalized white citizens were refused their rights. He had no objection to the radicals being there, because they would hear some whole- some law, and the democraite party only intended to Protect their rights, and their rights they would have ‘if the heavens fall.’? (Applause.) Still, as this was a meeting called privately, lie thought delicacy would suggest the propriety of their leaving. Horace Greeley’s Tribune showed a plot to deprive citizens of their votes which they should checkmate. He had said there were 20,000 naturalizations made fraudu. lently. This wasa lie, and its writers knew that; and & suggestion had been made that on the day of election the republican inspectors should resign and then the vote would be illegal if taken by the others. He had a case in point, however, which he cou!d lay his hands on at any time, in which but one inspec- tor took the vote, and the Supreme Court declared the vote legal; so if the republican inspectors allowed the democratic inspectors to have it all their own way, that wasall right—the law sanctioned it. The registrars when apprised of the rights were as powerful as the President of tho United States; they were the trustees of the most sacred rights of the community who wished to sa: who governed them. He trusted, then, that, knowin sent rene, they would maintain them. (Great applause. Ph number of questions were then asked Ab oe trars and Answers promptly given by Mr. Hail and the committee, The questions were generally pertinent, and it was ret je how intellizent the querists were.
