MISCEGENATION AND MURD! Tho Black Husband of a White Wife Commits 4 Horrible Crime, Another Virginian Atrocity—Result of the Inter- mixture of the Races—A Child Coolly Disposed Of—Negro Barbarism and Fiendish Calmness, Prrrsytvanta O. H., Va., Deo, 15, 1870. ‘This peaceful community bas been thrilled with horror by a murder, whioh for cold-blooded atrocity has seldom been equalled, even in the history of negro crime in the South, since the war. And the dreadful deed is rendered more distressing by tho attending circumstances and by tho fact that the teachings of the political adventurers who have been itinerating through the country of late have Caused 4t. Some time last Janvary our people were shocked to hear that a Mrs. Bettie Barber, ® white widowed lady of respectable connections, ving a few miles from this place, had been marricd to Ishmael Lip- ford, one of tne bluckest and basest negroes in the county. LEAVING THH FRIENDS OF HER CoTLDHOOD ‘and taking with her the children of ber former hus- band, she went to live with Lipford ina hut a few mlies distant from this village. Asa natural sequel to this unpardonable and imhuman unton, the couple lived together im an almost starving condl- tion, detested by both races, and under auspices in every Way unfavoravie to the happiness and enjoy- ment of married life. Among the children of the wie was son about five years of age, Known by the name of Henry Pruett, Pruett having been the name of the mother’s frst husband. ‘This little boy, @ br.glt and harmiess child, had to be, of course, supported by the parties to the new marriage, and, agis too olten the case, even in the highest circles of life, was the scorn and object of coutinual Ul- treatment from its adopted parent. A MERCILESS MURDER, On yesterday evening Renry thonghtlessly dis- obeyed the injunction of Liptord about some trivial matter, and was caaght within a few sieps of the rade cabin, in which his wiocher was lying oa a bed of il- ness, and in & moment of unrestrained anger was murdered, without ime to utter a prayer and before his piteous cries could bring assistauce to rescue him from the demon negro, THE MANNER OF MURDERING was such as could have been executed by none but an age brutal negro. The boy was caught by Lipford and struck with nis ist, buck of the head, blow after blow, wich dislo-ated tue neck bone; the body was then th:own upon the ground and was stamped by the huge feet of the infernal rascal until the kiineys were bruised and the stomach bursted, and the last breath had departed. The agonizii screams of the child were heard for two miles, au the mother, too Jeeble to raise herself from bed, was forced to listen to the heartrezding shrieks and dy- ing sobs of her chiid—unable to render him any Ip. THE ARREST. The fiend stood for some time looking over the flead body of nis victim, after the struggling had ceased, then siooped and picked it up. The child mever spoke, ae jury of inquest rendered a verdict as fol- W8:—- We, the » upon our oaths, do say the said Henry P. Emet.s cane V6 hw death by blows received from sbtsacl Lip‘ord was at once taken into custody, and is now contined in the jai! nere, Me TUE PRISONER is a8 black as midnight, has a brutish, hard and severe countenance, and 15 about thirty-five years of He was raised # siave in (his vicinity, And is a Man Of notoriously bad ciaracter.

Yet she cliugs with womanly aitection to the horrible fellow who, though her busiana. 1s the murderer of her child and a fiend with hai.ds staincu vy the fresh blood of innocence, A DASH FOR LIBERTY. #leeing From. Sing Sing Prison—Attempted Escape of Seven Couvicts—Their “B ptism of Fire” Whilo Passing the Guards—Citizens Tarn Out in Pursuit—Klow tho Jail Birds Were Bagged. About four o’clock on Thursday afternoon a daring attempt to throw o/f their compuisory allegiance to the State was made at Sing Sing prison, by seven convicts, five of whom—recklessly defying death— passed successfully through @ cordon of armed guards amid a shower of bullets. The revolt- ers formed part of a gang of forty convicts engaged at quarrying in the rear of the female prison; and it has since transpired that when they “broke,” at a preconcerted signal tweaty of the men wers to have siarted, but for some unex- plained cause, thirteen of them were found lacking the desire to carry out the scheme. The ringleaders evidently started of in the expeciation that the entire gang would take courage and follow, thus increasing tneir own chances of eluding pursut until darkness set in, when final escape would have been comparatively easy. As the wind was biowing a hurricane at the time, the con- victs doubtiess took thts circumstance into consider- guon, knowing that thereby the guards, near whom they would have to pass in their flight, would be prevented from TAKING EFFECTIVE ATM atthem, The convicts had quit work forthe day and were about helug marched to the prison when their keeper, Cha Hartiord, wile engaged lock- ing the shunty where (he tools are kept, heard a shout, and ou turning saw that seven of the men had dashed off and were then rapidly approaching the outsiue line of guards. Without heeding the threatening gesticulaiious of the Jatter, the fngt- tives, noting daunted, kept on their “peck-or- nothing” course, doubiiess aware of the fact that the GUARDS ARE INSPRUCLRD NOL TO FIRB at any cscuping convict until the later bas actually parsed outside of the prisou grounds. Dreading the appearance of tho weapoas already levelled at them by the guards, two o. the escaping party halted and with downcast heads turned and slunk away towards the prison, Meanwie ihe rema ning tive despera- does continued their fizht, and, although crack— crack—went the leaden miss.ies trom rly a score of rifies, the “game? escaped unhurt and sought shelter in some Woods about hali a mile distant. By ty eer THE ALARM WAS GIVEN and a posse of prison attaches at once started in pur- suit, and ere Many mimutes were joined by @ numer- ous body of citizens, arjied in Buch cases, with va- rious kinds of weapons, each nian (whois not an em- ployé at the prison) entertaining a lively hope of se- curing the standing reward of tifty dollars offered by statutory enactment ‘or the capture of an escaped convici. By rapidly surrounding the wooas tn which the convicts sough tlo conceal themselves the pur- suing party succeeded in securing thre? of the men, ‘who, knowing trom the events of the pasty WHAT THEIR FATE WOULD BE if they offered any resistance, xt once surrendered and were biought back to the prison, The other two runaways, having doubled on their pursuers, struck out mm @ southerly direction, but ‘Were closely followed and subsequently discovered HID AWAY IN A CAVE at Sparta, about a mile distant from the prison. All five were placed in dark cells, where they ill have ample opportanity to rumt- nate on the consequences of their baited attempt to evade the just penalty of the law which , they have in the past disregarded and outraged. The names of tie revollers are as follows:—Lorenzo Kilman and Charles Render, bot sentenced on two charges of grand larceay to six years’ imprison- meat; John tush, grand larceny, four years and six months; James 0’Rourke, burglary, four years, and Robert Williams, alias Shangiae, whose crime and term of seatence were not ascertained.

THE ADJOURNMENT.

After some discussion on the subject it was docld to proceed with the matter at ten o'clock bext Thursday morning. VIVE LA BEPUBL:QUE AMERICAINE! Meeting of the French Canadian Unionist Club at Masonic Hall Lust Night. About forty members of the French Canadian Unionist Club met last evening at Masonic Hall, at what purported to be a soirée, but which in reality ‘was a meeting for the purpose of considering the best and most certatn measures for the an- nexation of the Dominion of Canada to the American republic, A long letter was read from M. Louis Joseph Papineau, of Montrea', in which he deprecated the persistency of the British government tn hoidiug Canada agalast the wish of the majority of We Canadian population, against the intevests of her commercial relations ana to the destruction of her material, moral and social pros- perity, The Cubtnet at the Court of St. James was neither popular nor considered competent by the Canadian people, He strougiy recommended A MEMOKIAL VQ BE SENT TO THE ENGLISH.

He dwelt upon the gross injustice of the government of Canada a3 at present constituted, stating tuat the taxation was matuly for the support of a Governor and lus sulle—a miserable apology for royalty, as well a8 a miserable fatiure as regarded the intended object— and that there was but one voice in Cauada among tae eon, the bulwarks of a nation, and that voice UNITE US TO THE AMERICAN REPUBLIC. All French Canadians looked torward to this glori- ous consummation, and when tie moment of an- nexation should arrive all the Americans would hail Mt wits feelings of pieasure and deiignt, ag being in @ccordance wiih (he Monroe doctrine.

They Visit Brooklyn, But Forgetting to Pay Their Board at the Capital are “Sent For?— They Go. Two fair Albanians, maidens of the strong-minded persuasion, who have passed through many a change of reason, being aged respectively forty and thirty-five years, old enough to distingutsh be- tween right and wrong, were the recipients of a visit from detective Sergeant Harry Van Wagner yesterday afternoon at a fashionable boarding house in the immediate vicin- ity of Brookiyn Heights, where the ladies in ques- tion have been so,oarning for the past week. ihe detective was accompanied by oiilcer Jenn P.

It is also said that Miss Lennox 18 respectably Connected, bat that she is of weak or unsound mind, and has been iniubed by Miss Heeves to adopt the course Which nas brought her into the meshes of the law. ‘rhe prisoners left for Albany with their police escort last night, GENERAL \EWS ITEMS.

It is stated that the certainty that Senator Morrill will ne re-elected by the Legislature of Maine has produced an unusual degree of calmness in political circles, It 13 now less than three weeks before the Legislature assembles and there 13 no excitement. ‘There is little competition for any of the offices of either ;House, For the Presidency of the Senate the contest seems to be between Foster, of Water- ville, and Buffum, of Oldtown, with the chances, we should say, in favor of the former.

Books and [eApING; or, Woat Books Shall I Read and How Shall I Read ‘them? By Noah Porter, D.D., Le. D, New ork: Charles Scrivner & Co, Professor Porter has written a book which, if wo even cannot approve all bis views, still merits the warmest commendation, At the present timo, when, from the multiplicity of books in print, tt 1s @taskof no ordinary character to select those best calculated to afford information and entertainment, it 18 pleasant to be able to depend upon the riper Judgment of an accomplished scholar for their sclec- Uon, But, in aduition to asce:taining the titles and character of the best books for perusal, the papers 1n this volume take us over the entire fleld of litera- ture, point out its beauties and warn us of its uglt- nesi. Perhaps Professor Porter is too severe in som’ of his ideas, particuiariy with some expressed upon newspaper literature, But wherehe has written 60 much worthy of praise we may, with- out doing violence to impartiality, pass over what 18, in our opinion, erroneous, and what 1s probably at- tributable to the rigid line of thought which seems inherent in all instractors. As reading matter, without reierence towhat they teach, the papers are a'so quile interesting. The author possesses & notably easy and attractive style, ADVENTURES OF A YouNG Naturatist. By Lucien Blart, New York: Marper & Brothers, It wou'd be hard to. decide whether this book excels In Interest or Iu information. No person can read it without deriving pleasure from the perusal and without having bis Evowledge of Mexico incre:sed. It 18 a trausiation from the French of a Darrative of adventure through the cordilleras of Mexico, and derives its title from the fact that the sen of the author, who 1s made the hero throughout, accompanied his fatuer, The party consisted of NM. Blart and his son, M. Sumichrast and an Indian servant named L’Encuerado, Leaving Orizava one fine day, these four persons made a tour through the mcuntains, and their adventures are here told. Although written for youth we are sure every man and woman who reads the volume will be a3 much entertained as they have been by any of tne works of Sir Samuel Baker. Sprightly dialogues, which are seldom witrout sclentific intormation, animated des¢ciptions of the country, and ei sterms, of the hardsuips or pleasures of the journey attest the literary skill of M. Biart. But that which 13 the most important are the facts with which we are mae conversant concerning the arboreal and zoelogical productions of Mexico, The immense forests of the country are made familiar to us In their almost trepical luxuriance, and we are made better acquainted with such animals as the tapirand puma, jaguar and alligator, and numer- ous others. We heartily recommend the book, which 1g elegantly bound and pro‘useiy illustrated, a8 one of the best works published for the holidays. It is calculated to afford intelleciual entertaimment to old and young alike. A Lrprary oF Pogrry aNp Sona; being choice selections trom tke best poets, witi an itroduc- ton by iam Cullen Bryant. New York: J. B. Ford & Co, Among the holiday books which we have secn during the present season this stands deservedly high. It 18a massive velume, of nearly eight hun- dred pages, containing selectious froin the works of the most celebrated English, Amer.can, Irish, French and German poets. Mr. Lryaut’s introduction 1s au interesting essay on the poctic literature of our lan- guage. ihe volume is handsomely printed on tinte’ paper, contains several tine engravings, and 13 bewu- Ufully bound im green and gold. It ts, in ail re- specis, an admirable Christmas or New Year's pre- sent. SonGs or Howe; selected from many sources, with numerous iftustrations iron original designs, New. York: Charles Scribner & Co. This 1s auother holiday book of poetry. It con- tains the second part of the re-tasue of “roik Songs,” the firat part of which, entitled “Songs of Life,” was published during the past season. We need hardly say that the selections are admirable. An additional attraction in the volume ts wo be fuund in the numerous illustrations, all of which are splendid specimens of art. The mechanical excca- ton of the book is also good. The type used is large and clear, the paper heavy tinted, with gold edge, and the covers elegantly bound fn crimson and geld. Altogether, “Songs of Home’? is decidedly the most récherche book of the season. Our PorTical Favorires. A Selection from the Best Minor Poems of the English Language. By Asabel 0. Kendrick. New Yo Sheldon « Co. Yet another holdiday book of poetry les before us. “Our Poetical Favorites” is not as eleganily or expensively gotten up as the others noticed avove, but it is nevertheless worthy of praise. Proiessor Kendrick has displayed much good taste and jug. mentin his seleciions. Many of tie poems will be read for the first time by a large number of persons, | ' they having been, like numerous other meritori us literary productions, been lost sglit of for years, ‘The-volume is neatly printed aud bound, My Arinar Kincpom; With Lire I rae Crear Samarara, &c. By Paul Du Chaillu. New York: Harper & Brothers. Last year some thousands of old and young chil- | dren were entertained and instructed by Da Cha Ju’s “Lost in the Jungie.” This year we venture to | predict that many more thousands will be deliguted by “My Aping! Kingdom.” Du Chaillu is a most | agreeable writer. From beginning to eud tls book is a constant succession of graphic pictures of life in Africa, But few men have traveiled as extensively | as he has in the equatorial regions, and, as a cunse- | quence, his adventures were necessarily in propor- Uon to lis travels, In this book he reiaies the swiy - of his sojourn in Apingi land, of which he was elect+ ed King by the kind-hearied and hospitable natives. i After he had departed, ainid the tars and lameuta- tlons of his subjects, he returned to ius settlement of | Washington, whence he started on a Journey for tho | Great Sahara. We have not the space in witch to | | | summarize the narrative and musi, therolere, be content to assure the reader that tt is full of stirring incidents and exciting adventures. Many chapters | are exceedingly humorous, and others are quite in- structive. ‘(ne chapter, for instance, on the habits of the white and tree ants contain an interesting Contribution to natural history. Every parent wzo } purposes to give his son or daughter a Chiristinas present should get this book. It 1a profusely illus- trated and handsomely bound. | OVERLAND THROUGH ASIA. Pictures of Siberian, Cumese and Tartar Life. By Thomas W. Knox, American Publishing Company, Hartford, Conu, We have here another record of adventure, Mr. Knox, the author, has written a very interesting work on his journey “Overland through Asta.” Nu- merous anecdotes of events which transpired wiile he was in Siberla and Russta, and others (Old to im while there, combine to render the narrative lively and agreeable. Love stories also form a prominent feature, Then there are exciting adventures with wolves and much other matter calculated to attract the interest of the reader. There 1s a trifie too much egotism indulged in. The book would have been no less readable had it been suppressed. Nevertheless there 1s not enough of it to impair its value. The volume ts neatly printed ana bound, and is profusely illustrated. Though the “land question” does not trouble us in this country, and is not at ail Hkely to trouble us till we have a population of two hundred millions, the knowledge of its problems and of the atterapts at taeir solution in other countries, 13 always interest- ing to the thoughtful reader. “Co-operative Agricul- ture; A Solution of the Land Question” (New York: Charles Scribner & Co.), 18 an entertaining werk written by William Pare, well known as an author of books on this and kindred subjects, It gives the history of the “‘Ralahine Co-operative Association’? of county Clare, Ireland, showing how successful it Was until the fatal propensity for gamb!'ng of the liberal proprietor of the estate compelled 18s dissolu- tion, Throughout the book there is a strong argu. ment in favor of this system of agricultural associa, tions, which, if not conclusive, undonbdtedly points the way to a satisfactory solution of the land ques- tlou problem. The book 1s decidedly interesting and ought to be widely read. A book we had intended to nottce at some length, but which our space will not permit to do at pre- sent, is “A Digest of Facts Relating to the Treatment and Utlization of Sewage,” written by W. HL Corfield, M. A., M.B. (London: Macmillan & Co.; New York: Charles Scribner & Co.) The subject is One of the utmost importance to the people of every city and town in the country. It 13 treated here in @fulland comprehensive manner by the author, Who has collected an immense amount of facts and given a clear digest of them. Such @ work as thia, Pointing out as it does, the ways and means of over- coming the dangers to health whicn are to be found In defective sewaze, should be carefully studied by the inteliigent public at large, but inore particularly by those officials who are charged with the duties of healih oficers, Many of our readers will remember the excite- Ment created in the religious world a few years ago by the announcement that the Virgin Mary had ap- peared in person to a young peasant girl of Lourdes, @ Small town tn the Pyrenees, Nothing had occurred in Franee of a like character for many years; hence, from one end of the empire to the other, 1t became the theme of conversation, and naturully the story of the miracle spread throughout the world. In- credulous as the reader may be, it is, nevertheless, a fact vhat the story 18 firmly beiteved to-day by thou- sands of persons—perhaps millions. At any rate, M. Heur Lasserre, the author of “Our Lady of Lourd: believes it, and he is encouraged by an approving letter from Pope Pius IX, The narrative of the mracies, which includes a biography of Ber- nadette, the peasant girl, 18 both curious and inter- e-tlog, and is worth reading, 1t1s published by D. J, Sadiier, of uns city. One of the most delightful writers is Arthur Helps, Roberts Brothers, of Boston, have published avolume of essays written by him and entitied “Essays Written in the Intervals of Business, to Which Is Added an Essay on Organization in Daily Lite.” All of the papers are admirable. They will, We are certain, be read with the deepest tuterest and pleasure, It 13 quite unnecessary for us to praise anything that Lacoidaire has given utterance vo, for the fame of his religions lectures 1s world-wide. ‘Jesus Christ: Con‘erences Delivered at Notre Dame in Paris” (New York: P, O'Shea), is the title given to Lis celebrated series of discourses, Those of our Teaders who have not rea! these brilliant and elo- quent arguments tu support of Christianity we re- commend to get this book. We trust we have not taken a wrong view of the ideas of Miss Jennie Collins, the authoress of ‘“Na- ture’s Aristocracy; or, Battles and Wounds in Time of Peace” (Boston: Lee & Shepard). It seems to us, however, that the fair writer labors under the im- Pression thatthe world 1s “upside down.” All her angels and heroes are poverty-stricken women and men, beggars, newsboys, and others of the lower classes; and nearly ail of her flends, cowards and bad people generally are wealthy men and women. Ifshe did not write so earnesUy and seriously wo would think that she was inclined to be satirical; but she appears in all seriousness as, we suppose, a Champion of the Oppressed and Wronged. We must, however, leave the reader to ascertain what she writes without lurther assistance from us. A pleasant book, which we cheerfully recommend to the public is “ftalian Life and Legends” (New York: Carleton), written by the late Anna Cora Ritchie, It abounds in pen pictures of Italy and in descriptions of Itatlan Life, tucluding stories of pas- sion and intrigue, hatred and revenge. Works descriptive of the careers and exploits of our Western frontiersmen do not satiate vy their multiplicity. “The Adventures of Big-Foot Wallace, the Texas Ranger and Hunter” (Philadelphia: Clax- ton, Regsen & Hoffelfnger), is a narrative of tho life of a famous Texar.

In addition to the despatch we published yester- day from St. Louis regarding the Indian Council at Ocmulgee, we are enabled to lay before our readers some interesting points forwarded by our special Correspondent at Fort Gibson, Writing under date of December 7, via Baxter Springs, Kansas, he states:— The spectal Indian Commission, consisting of Messrs, Farwell, Campbell and Lang, have reached this place on their way to Ocmulgee, forty miles dis tant in the Creek Nation, where the Grand Council of the Indian nattons is new in session, presided over by Friend Enoch Hoag, Su perintendent for Central and Soutnern Superintendencies, ‘The Council reconvened on the Sth, pursuant to adjournment in October, and the members have been pushing from all quarters of the Territory since the first of the month for the designated lvcality for holding this important assembly. The event is a momentous one for the Indian race, aad an all-ab- sorbing interest is taken in what is looked for trom its proceedings. The presence of influential men and of representatives of the leading newspapers makes @ great impression and induces the indians to hope that better times are really at hand for them, Ocmuigee is a small hamlet of some half dozen cabins and a trader's store, and contains, we learn, @ building of one room, some twenty feet squart put up for a council house, where the Grand Council } 43 to hold its session. It was selected because of its central location and because it is within the terri- tory of @ nation second in importance to one or two of the others, but with the expectauon that another permauent lo- cality might be chosen for the future capital of the Confederated nations, ‘hose who have come 80 far lind taat neituer fved ner shelter is to be got wuere, and application bas been made to Colonel Muston, who commands the military post, for what heitucr love nor money can ecisewiere or otherwise obtain, He furnished the comiussion and re- preseutatives of the press with transportation and Vents, and we set eut carly to: morrow morning tor our desunation. To him and Lieutenant Garand, the post quartermaster, the party are under every obilyauion for such Weatment ad brothers might expect, it has always been anticipated that the council Would adjourn to the towu of Fort Gibson, wuere ample accommodatiens can be had, and it is to be heyed this will be done, Originuly tie Cherokees Suggested Ocunuigee, lest they u.ght be suspected ol aseliish purpose in proposing Fort Gibson, the iargest town and the only eligivie piace, inali re- spects, m the indian country. ‘Th.s people are Jeaious and suspicious by nature, and make allow- ‘ances for fullings of human nature tu others. ‘The Comuissioners passed through Yah-le-quah, the Uheroxee capital, and atteaded a sitting of be! houses of the National Council or Legisiature in u newly completed capitol building, an imposing structure in the middie of a weil-shaded public square, It is of twe stories, and has cuambers for the LWo houses, offices for the executive and nu- merous committee rooms.

Several hun- dred Cherokees roue into the capital and presented @ peution to the Council against tne selection of cer- tain individuals as ueiegates to Washington. Mr. Jones volunteered au exhortation against the pro- ceeding as riotous and subversive of law. ‘This charge Was repelled by the leader, who said they had peaceably presented @ peiiuon, aud having done 80 proposed to go home.

A Locomotive Jumps the Track Into Six Fath- oms of Water—One Man Drowned—Miracu- lous Escape of the Engineer, Bridge Tender and a Hundred Passengers— ‘Where the Blame Properly Belongs. Among other things that Jersey 1s becoming fe mous and notorious for 18 the number and character of railroad accidents that occur withim her borders, Ibis not yeta week since the HERALD exclusively recorded the verdict of a cororner’s jury at Newark, censuring the Morris and Essex Raltlroad for grows negligence and carelessness, whereby a respectable eluzen and manufacturer of Newark lost his life, and now comes for consideration another disaster, which exposes a chapter of reckless and AWOLUTELY CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE, such as Is scarcely on record, the immediate conse- quences of which, though serious, are happily trifing, compared with what they might have been but for a veritable interposition of Providence. On Thursday night the regular quarter to ten P. M, pas senger way train left Lizabeth for New York, drawn by the locomotve ‘New York.” The engineer was David Maione and his treman Henry Cooper, The train REACHED, ALL RIGHT, the near end of the bridge and passed along safely for several hundred yards, The bridge, 1t willbe remembered, is nearly three-quarters of a mile long, stretoning across Newark bay at about its t point, s@ that the gale, which was then blowing from the northward, had full sweep agatnst its broadside. It runs east by north and west by south. Previous experience had taught the eugimeer to slow down, which, jortunately, he did. The train reached the dcaw, When the locomotive jumped the track and PLUNGED OVERBOARD j into thirty feet of water, hissing and snorting and dragging the poor fireman to nis watery grave. Malone, the engineer, broke through the window of the cab, and, being an expert swimmer, mana; to keep atloat and reach the briage. The bi tender was alao carried away with a portien of the rotten structure, but was saved, happily, With WONDERVUL PRESENCE OF MIND, and a heroic spirit worthy of the finest go'd medal i the country, a brakeman perceived the ir in Ume to permit his snatching the coupling bolt from the tender and forward car, and thus saving the passenger cars from being dragged over with the lovomotive with their large number of PRECIOUS HUMAN FREIGHT, To truthfully depict the scene amor at the time of the occurren with tender females driven frantic and strong men literally jellified, would be extremely dificult. Those on board declare it was @ moment witn which Bll the fears of a lifetime seemed to be concentrated. Rumors of the atfair reached Elizabeth late at night and occasioned the wildest ible excitement, the prevalent story being that the entire train had gone overboard and occisioned AN IMMENSE LO8S OF LIFE, AS might naturally be supposed, traMic 1s entirely interrupted. No trains can ass over the bridge, nor 18 it likely any will for some time to come. - terday a despatch was received at the Market street depot in Newark, from the Central Railroad people, asking if the New Jersey folks could take care of their passengers for two weeks, 80 that even the ratiroad officials nave no idea of being able to pach up the break in less than that time, THE DRAW was constructed of cast iron. Experienced railroad men" stated yesterday that had 1 been made of wrougiit iron instead of cast no such accident could have occurred. Tue most reliable THEORY OF THE DISASTER is that the bridge, being rotten and shaky, swayed to and fro between the weight of the train and the heaviness of the gale, and so disjointed the tracks at the draw. In course of conversation on the subject last Svening, an experienced gentieman said to & HERALD) representative: ‘That briage is fairly eaten up with the worms in some places, so that itis honey-combed. Instead of the abutments being of stone they are simply wood piling, which the Worms and the velocity of the current soon eats away. For a long time past the company have been doing their best to PROP UP THIS CHEAP BRIDGE by throwing overboard Jarge quaniities of stone, All the good these did was to destroy the channel for navigation, so that the east draw for a long time has been entirely useless, Why, sir, a short time age a schooner easily is the rotten thing put out of order, think rightly, sir, it is @ criminal outrage on the travelling cominunity to expose them to such @ danger, I will be giad if the HERALD Will show the matter up in 118 true hight.’ THE BRWGE WAS BUILT in 1864, and prior to that time the directors, for Jour consecutive meetings, agreed that a plan to build @ substantial bricgge was the best. Finally, however, the cost was deemed too great, aud the present structure was bulit, .THE BODY OF THE FIREMAN had not yet been recovered at last accounts, but Will probably have been ere this is published. |The accident occurred on the fHudsoa county side ef the bridge, #0 that the authorities there will have an opportunity to Investigate the matter and place the blame manifestly where it velongs, MISCELLANZOUS REIGN The Japanese government, having determined to appoint an Ambassador to tie principat Zuropean Courts, have accredited Bamesuima Gor as their Bavoy. ‘The telegraph at Osika, Japan, is being extended up the river to the Mint.
