‘Bate legislators any public-spirited enotigh to press this matter {fo the intervals of party war- fare and official plunder? At present it prould seem that respectable citizens must re- vert to the backwoods state and depend on their good right arms for protection, which is wot a pleasant thing to admit. M and the Drama. ‘The dramatic season has opened rather tamely so far, with the Lydia Thompson bur- fesquers at Wallack’s, the vivacious Lotta at Booth’s and the Teutonio Fritz at Niblo’s. Whese attractions may appeal to a certain and farge class of theatre-goers, but they are not of sufficient interest to the lover of true art. We can only wait patiently until Mr. Wallack gommences his season of comedy and Mr. Daly throws open his charming little boudoir of Megitimate drama to the public. The Olympic qwill be devoted this season to a grand revival ‘of pantomime, and Mr. Fechter will lose no time in building and completing his new theatre. When the return of Mr. Bandmann to the me- fropolitan boards at the Grand Opera House, and the reappearance of Miss Charlotte Cush- man, after a long absence, will awaken genuine interest, and help to cleanse our stage of the muhealthy entertainments that have soiled it #o long. Unfortunately for us Mlle. Fanny Banauschek, the reigning queen of the drama, who returned from Europe yesterday in the Bteamship Rhein, betakes herself to the pro- ‘vinces during the next season, owing to the shortsightedness and stupidity of our man- ‘gers, who preferred padded limbs, banjo wolos and broken Eaglish to grand acting. The smaller theatres are in the field with Haming posters that must satisfy the most exacting of their patrons. The musical season will commence next pmonth with Rullman’s far-famed Vienna Lady Orchestra at Steinway Hall, and the German tenor, Wachtel, with a company, at the Academy of Music, under the direction of Mr. Neuendorff. Then follows Madame Parepa- fRosa’s superb English opera company and the Wilsson Italian opera troupe—the two strong- jest organizations of the kind that ever ‘appeared on the American stage. Innumer- ‘able concert troupes are { ning, both in this wilty and in Europe, for \.. fall and‘winter meason in the United States, eaeh of which has ome special attrac!.o. of ity own. In fact, the publio will bave in em %rras de richesses the musical i’:3; and we fear that some of @ managers ¥ 1 be shipwrecked on the rocks of bankruptcy before the season is over. presi an aridity and stagnation in the musical or) ‘ld of many years’ duration we are threat- jie now with a complete deluge of attrac- lions, The small fry stand a fair chance of peing swamped unless they unite their for- anes to the seaworthy craft that are able to brave any storm. At all events, the public frill have no reason to complain of, the num- ber, variety and quality of musical entertain- ments. Would that we could say the same or the drama. Personal Intelligence.

A Locomotive Telescoped Into a Passenger Car. Machinery Crashing, Wood Blaz- ing, Steam Scalding. Twenty-one Killed Outright and Fifteen Mangled. SICKENING SCENES. Statement of One Survivors. of the Boston, August 26, 1871. Misfortunes of the nature of railroad accidenta have not come singly in New England within the past six weeks. It was only the other day the Whole community was agitated by intelligence of wun accident at Bangor, Me, which re sulted in the maiming forever or thirty-four unfortunates and the instant death of two others, the Coroner’s inquest into the causes thereof having but just been concluded. This calamity was the third of a series which has been occurring througn the criminal carelessness of Somebody or other un the Matn Central Railroad, and is to be made the subject of a judicial mvestiga- tion. But there has been one near Boston to-night which, so far, at least, as loss of life is concerned, is of tenfold more importance than tts predecessor, The lateness of the hour prevents my obtaining ac- curate details of the sad occurrence, but the facts seem to be as follows:— The fifteen minutes past seven passenger accom- modation train for Beverly, under charge of con- ductor Nason, was delayed half an hour beyond the time of its deparcure by tho non-arrival of inward trains, Not deeming it expedient to re- main longer, Mr. Nason started his train, with one baggage and tour passenger oars, at half-past seven o’clock, and made the usual stop- Pages unul he came to Revere, a station seven miles from Boston. ‘there bis train was brought to @ halt, started on, and then, for some reason not yet understood, it was halted again, Little did the conductor of that train dream of the consequences of his action in this instance, as he was good-humoredly chatting with his acquaintances on the road, Suddenly he heard a cry of danger and looking back he beheld a bright light coming round the curve scarce half a milefrom the station. He saw the danger at once and gave the signal to start, But it was too late, That light was the avant courier of Death. One moment later and the ponderous engine Newburyport, drawing the Pullman express train of eight heavily laden cars, came crashing inte the Tear of the ill-fated accommodation. A shriek of horror arose On ali sides as the machine ploughed its way two-thirds of the way tnrough the swaying Mass of humanity before it, and was only stopped in its career after nearly the whole car had been crashed into fragments, ‘To add to the terrors of the scene the scalding water from the locomotive was thrown upon the crowd, and the entire train burst imto flames, The agony of the moment can be much better im- agined than described. The 1oungers about the sta- tion—and there were but few in number—recruited from those,passengers who were unhurt, hurried to the spot and lent their ready aid to the amelioration of the suffering which was occasioned. One after another the bodies of the dead were taken from the ruins—twenty-one in num- ber—and laid side by side in the waiting room of the station. They pre- sented a sickening sight. Not one was there whose face or body was not scalded almost beyond the possibility of recognition, and their blood- Stained garments and the bubbling froth which lay stagnant upon their lips betokened too well the agony which they had suffered. There were but three women in the number, and their dress seemed to indicate that they belonged to the middle walks of life. Their faces were dis- torted beyond power of description. Among the men there was one whose right siae was nearly destitute of flesh and whose limbs were gashed to the bone. There were others who appeared equally as severely mutilated, Asthey layin the station it was painful to witness the eager and anxious faces of those who sought, through these remnants of mankind, in search of some beloved relative or friend. But at the hour at which 1 write—one A. M,—there had been no one identified. The wounded, fifteen in number, were removed to the houses near by, and those who could bear the journey were taken to the Chelsea Marine Hospital, three miles distant. Their injuries}are, for the most part, of a severe, but not dangerous, character. A passenger who was upon the accommodation train and escaped without hurt, besides corroborat- ing the particulars given above, states that when he first became alarmed he saw the bright light of the engine seemingly but a very short distance away. He jumped across the track, and heard the whistle down brakes; bat it was scarcely an instant after before the telescoping occurred, He remembered nothing thereafter until aroused from @ fainting fit by the shricks of the dying men. He at once bent all his energies to succor the wounded. The scene of the disaster presents a fearful sight. On the main track lay the charred and still burning fragments of the accommodation train, which ts totally destroyed, and the machinery of the engine and large pieces of the baggage car behind it were strewn all about the ground. No such disaster has ever occurred on an Eastern railroad, Itis difficult, and, in fact, impossible, at this hour to fix the blamic for the calamity upon any singlo person. Perhaps it might be thought that as the first train had started out of the depot half an hour behind time, and that it had two stops to make before it made arun of seven miles, 1t was scarcely advisable to permit the departure of an express train only fifteen minutes later, Others might opine that the conductor (Nason) of the accommodation train aoted wrongly in permitting his train to remain so long at a way station. The inapest, which will commence to-morrow. NEW YORK HERALD. SUNDAY, AUGUST 27, 187.—TRIPLE SHEET. Will, doubtless, render a satisfactory solution“ the mystery. ANOTHER ACCOUNT OF THE CATASTROPHE.

A frightful accident occurred on the Eastern Rail- road to-night at Revere, The accommodation train started bebind time, and, while stopping at the station in Winthrop, the Portland light- ning express overtook it and telescoped it, killing twenty-five passengers outright and wounding some forty or fifty more, The cars took fire and two or three were consumed, Most of the wounded are scalded and their limbs fractured. A large number of physicians and surgeons were in attendance, Chief of Police Savage has despatched & derail of police, with stretchers, &0., to the scene of the accident, The killed and wounded belonged mostly to Lynn and Salem.

LYNN, Mass., August 26, 1871, The female shoemakers, otherwise known as “fitters,” who are numbered by thousands in this city, are just now laboring under an excitement which has not been paralleled since the famous strikes of twelve years ago. The immediate cause Of all this can be briefly statea. Some days ago the boss stitchers held a meeting and adopted reso- lutions in which they say “that the stitchers must give two weeks’ notice when intending to leave their employ; fatling in this they must forfeit $5, Atthe same meeting there was also action taken looking to a universal reduction of wages, Hearing of this the giris threw themselves into the breach, called an indignation meeting, and on ‘Thursday night between five and six hundred of them came together to devise means for their own protection. ‘hen the meeting was cajled to order and the object thereof clearly stated an organiza- tion was effected by the election of Mrs. Emma A. Lane as President and Mrs. E. I. Rogers as Secre- tary. Addresses were delivered by Messrs, George Sanderson ond A. B, Flanders, of the Crispins, Mrs. Lane, Miss Little, Miss Burke, and many of the girls who never made a public address before, but were grandly eloquent when their rights*weré invaded. ne following resolations were unanimously adopted by a rising vote:— Whereas we, the workingwomen In convention assembled, do accept the following resolutions as an earnest expression of our sentiments ; Whereas we feel that we have long felt the need of pro- tecting our rights and privileges as free-born women, and wa are determined to dotend them and our our working interest to the fullest extent of our ability, therefore be it Resolved, Tuat we, the workingwomen of Lynn, known as upper fitters and finishers of boots and shoes, do enter a most golemn protest against any reduction of waxes, on any pre- text whatever; neither will we submit to any rules vinding upon us that will likewise affect our employers Resolved, ‘That we feel grateful to, the Lynn for their mterest and determination to our time of need. x Resolved, That we, the free women of Lynn, will submit to no rule Or set of rules that go toward enslaving or degrad- ing us. Resolved, That we will accept no terms whatever, either with regard to @ reduction of prices, notices to quit, or for- feiture of wages; that while we utterly ignore the spirit of littieness and ill/verallty which prompted the inte action of our would-be oppressors, we wi!l not forget to resent in a proper manner the unjust encroachments upon our rights, Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be given to each of the cominittee, by them to be presented to each girl in tl shop and her algnature thereon obtained, that they wil ad- here to the terms of the resoiutions, and ‘should any one of the members of the shop be reduced in her wages or ill- treated we will drop our work until she Is righted. Resolved, That a copy of the abore be inserted in the Lynn papers, end ajlarge surplus number be provided for distribu. ion among our girls. Not satisfed with this action, another meeting ‘was called for last evening, and at eight o'clock, when tne meeting was callea to order by Mra.

Yellow Fever in Charleston, 8; 0.—Its Ravages Acknowledged by the Authorities—The Dis- ease Assumes an Epidemie Form— Thirty-five Cases Reported—Clean Bills of Health Given to New York Steamers, CHARLESTON 8. 0., August 26, 1871, The Medical Sootety of Charleston, in view of the exaggerated reports abroad as to the prevalence of yellow fever here, heid a meeting last evening, and, after full investigation and discnasion, resolved to make offictal publication of the rea) facts of the case, 48 follows:—That yellow fever of a mild type does exist to a limited extent in Charleston; that it is mainly in one neighborhood; that the first case dated from July 27, and during the month that has elapsed since then there have been perhaps in all up to this time thirty-five cases, nine of which have proved fatal; but that the disease does not seem of a character disposed to spread rapidly or widely. It 1s added that differ- ences of opinion exist iu the profession as to the probable spread of the disease, The Board of Healtn announce this morning that the number of cases reported since the 23d inst. indicate that the disease is assuming an epidemic form. The first oMcial report obtainaple of the progress of the yellow fever here was forwarded this morn- ing by telegraph. The deciaration of the Medical Society 1s considered by leading physicians, includ- ing the Health Officer, as an extreme statement, many of the cases on which it was based being doubtful, The Health OMcer does not consider that the facts of the case justify him in withholding @ cleun bill of health from the New Yoik steamer which sails to-day, Wilmington Alarmed—Through Trains to Charleston Discontinued—Intercourse With the Infected City Prohibited. WILMINGTON, N. O., August 26, 1871.

Clover & Baker, attorneys for St. Louts county, filed a petition to-day in the Circuit Court to set aside as fraudulent the deed of trust under which the North Missouri Railroad was sold to-day. The suit is against the Board of Directors of the road. The petition is very lengthy and gives a full history of the road and of its management since the first organizauon of the company. Morris K. Jessup, the purchaser of the road, Is @ large owner In the Jacksonville brauch of the Chi- chago, Alton and St, Louis road, and 2 heavy stock- holder in the Kansas Pacific Railway, and largely interested in the St. Charles bridge, over wich the North Missouri road crosses the Missourt River. The amount of the first mortgage bonds assumed by the purchaser 1s $6,000,000, ‘There is also a Noat- Ing debt of $2,500,000, most of which, it is believed, will be patd, making the amount actually bid for the road about $10,000,000, which 1s said to be not more than half it is really worth. It 1s stated the road will continue to be run in the interest of Si. Louls and by tts present managers; but it is likely that the gap between Moverly and Louisiana will sooa be constructed by the Chi- cago and Alton Company, which will give Chicago another direct connection with the Kansas Pacilic Toad and through the route to Colorado. Damages to the Atlantic and Gulf Railrond ef Georgia Repaired. SAVANNAH, August 26, 1871. The damages occasioned by the recent storms to the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad have been fully re- paired. ‘The portions of the track swept away by the floods have been replaced, and the road is again in the very best running order.

Thirty-five hundred shares in the St. Charles bridge across the Missouri River, belong- ing to the North Missouri Railroad Company, were also soll at $25 per share to Mr. Jessup.

Despatches from Captain Hall, commanding the Polaris, dated Holsteinberg, Greenland, the 1st inst. were received at the Navy Department to-day, 7®- porting the arrival there, July 31, of the Polaris, Where they were agreeably surprised at find- ing the Swedish expedition, consisting of a brig and @ small steamer, under the command of F. W. Von otter, which had been to Disco and Uppermoic, and 1s now on jis return homeward. With the exception of a gale which broke upon the Polaris on the evening wey left Fiscanoes the sea was qulet. The Swedish expedition brought highly important news from Uppernavik, that the season for arctia navigation Is better than any for several years; that no ice, save occasiona: bergs between Holsteinberg and Disco, and between the latter place and Uppernavick, had been seen for several weeks. Governor Elberg, of the Holsteinberg dis- trict, has promised Captain Hall ali the ald he can give. The Polaris was, at tne date of Captain Hali’s report, awaiting the arrival of the transport Con- gress, and they would wait until the 5th inst., when, if she did not arrive, the Polaris would weigh anchor for Good Haven, where Casptaim Hall would make arrangements for — raising enough coal to last until the transport showd Teach them. Captain Hall expected to get @ supply of reindeer furs at Holsteinberg, but none could be found, the reindeer of late years having been nearly all killed off in that neighborhood, and therefore they must depend on Disco, Uppernavik and Smith Sound for their winter furs and sledge dogs. Baron Vonotier, of the Swedish expedition, now visits the Polaris and takes great tnterest in tts ob- ject. He furnished for the Navy vepartment an abstract of his work performed since leaving Uppernavik. The ship's company of the Polaris have been in good healcn and spirits since leaving New York, and all remain sanguine that the next year their discoveries will reach to the Nortn Pole.

Much alarm prevaila among the planters, The prospects, which were good a few weeks ago, are now very unfavorable, espectally in the cotton counties of Wayne, Duplin, Lenoir, Green, Jonnston, Wilson and Pitt.
