We understand from a pnsseng* r that,on Saturday
evening Inst, about half a mile fiom the Greenville
depot, the train ran over a oow, throwing the mail,
baggage, and 1st passenger car down nn eight feet
embankment. Seven persons wire slightly injured,
drat-none more seriously than a negro, whose arm
was broken.
Commercial and Bank Failures -Several serious
failures ltdvs occurred in the city and State of
New York. First is John Thompson, publisher of
the Reporter, whose liabilities are heavy, but as yet
uninvestigated. Following him is the Wull street
speculator Jacob Little, who la.lcd to make delivery
of stock is per contract?the prices ruling higher
? aha* bis agreement. The loss is nominally set

only to stock operations. Brewster & Co., banker*,
of Roolieater, N. Y., hare closed door*. The War
ren Bank, of Pennsylvania, and the Kanawha
Bank, of Virginia, have failed.
Tha Ohio Life and Trust Company has also fail ?3?oitiasna
of Hartford,Connecticut, holding $10000ftof
its stock. A run was made upon the Una- j
dills Bank, N. Y., on tl.e 27th ult., to the amount
of $71,000, which were promptly redeemed. James
L Lyeii, banker, Detroit, Michigan, closed his
doora on tha aanw day. Notes of other New Yoi k
country books wero thrown out by the city banks,
and on tha 20ih rumors of fresh failures caused
?joite a panic.
He*. Joe. A. Woodward.?It will be remcm.
bared that w? stated some weeks ago, in a brief
paragraph, that Hon. W. S. Lyle*, of Pairfield,
took issue with the Dswspapers that ilou. J. A.
Woodward, who was lately In Kansas, had pro
aoonord (\|>,?rontifty*of Walker'* course iu Kansas
Mr. Woodward, under data of August 19, has addressed
a letter on t!?is point to Hon. J. A. Hill,
one of the oandidatea for Govornor of Georgia, io
? which be says:
"I did take s position in regard to his course,
which contracted minds might hnve construed into
a justification in tits absolute, and which unscrupulous
persons might nfloct to consider as amounting
to auch justification. Aa to what is truu in the
. mutter, an auawer, simply negative or affirmative,
could not inform you.
I did defend Governor Walker, not, however, in
4h# obs- lute, but relatively to the policy of the Ad
ministration, or Cabinet, which sent him to Kan
sas, and whose views and aims ho had no officiul
right to depart from, know-in/, beforuhnnd, what
th?os views and aims wore. I did defend Gov.
Walker relatively to the standard of political right,
touching Kanaus ttf .irs, which I ooiisider to be
recognised by the present. Administration, and
which, all must see, is recognised by the m.i?sc*
and tha leaders of the Democracy, North, and by
no inconsiderable propo. tion of Democratic leaders
St the Sooth, as will certuiuly be seen befo:e long.'1
In short, Mr. Woodward looks upon Walker
as S hasty and indiscreet agent, doing openly what
the President instructed him to do secretly?tlieroiors
ho oondcinns the President and sympathises
* with Walker!
Railroad Experiments.?The New York Eric
Railroad la testing an iron superstructure, i-.tsteud
of the usual wooden sleepers and cross lies The
cross-irons are bedded on stone, with India rubber
springs to deaden sound.
Another improvement is in roils, viz: Welding j
a face of cast steel on the rail, which will oniy increase
the coat nt the rate of $20 per tun, while the
-wearing quality is increased more than twenty lold.
Tub J*wisii Oath* Bill.? For the fifth time,
-we believe, Baron llotlisohihl has been returned a
u? ,l.? it. it ..t r<..? ? ?... .1?
volera of London?the House of Lord* having heretofore
defeated every bill of the Common* modifying
the oath prescribed to permit a Jew to qualify. Thi*
.factiousness of the L>rd* is likely to bo checkmated,
.a* it ie in upitation to admit the Baron to hi* seat
oq a resolution of ihe Common* alone, with an oath i
i prescribed by that body. Thi* whs dune on a former
occasion, and the Attorney Genrrtl give* no
pi u ion favorable to this mod* of sealiug niemben'Looking
arras Bkioiiam.?The Secretary of
'War ha* summoned Lieut. Geu. Scott to Wash
ington to concert plana for the (Ttnh expedition,
and the President has instructed itio Secretary to
despatch u messenger to Salt Lake City to look out
that Brother Urighani doe* not finger lettere sent
through the mails toother parties, w ho has heretofore
done.
Rurrunc or tiiic Csbi.k ?I/ito despatches give
the information that the telegraph cable hud been
broken at 330 mile* from laud. This is a serious
disappointment, when all w? re looking so anxiously
for the union of thu two continent* in a relation {
muro intimate tln.ii the mind a few years since j
could have conceived. The intelligence is aocomipenind
with the expression ?d a beliul that the enterprise
will yet be successful. Further advices of
the rupture say:
"When the telegraph cable broke thrro was a
heavy swell and the cable ran out too fast. The
engineer applied the brakes nnd the cable parted.
The Niagara nnd Agamemnon remained to try !
deep water experiments, but the re?l of the fleet re
turned. The Impression at Liverpool was that ano- !
liter attempt would be made in October."

Qm. Walksr hM e?otioOy modifisd hk pool
Uoa oo the question of adopting tho CbnatUution <
Km?. When be first sssnmod the offies of Om
ernor, his inaef aral wee mandatory oo the topio ?
submitting the constitution to a rote of the peoph
and no limitation was to be Imposed upon the rtgh
of suffrage. Tlie indigoatioo which this propositioi
met with brought out the Washington Union h
defence; but neither that paper nor the moral powe
of the administration was snffisient to choek th
well-founded oomplaiuts of the Southern peopV
agaiust this unusual stretch of eiecutive power 01
the part of a Territorial Qovernor. fu this condi
tiou of opinion at the South, the Union disclaimer
positive knowledge, and apologized aud tem;>orixcd
until Gov. Wulker could writs and advise fully o
his views, llo amplified and explained in tujh way
that his defenders wore enabled materially to aoftei
down the diotaloriul toue lie hud assuuud, and re
duee it to on exercise of only ordinary power. Tin
Union now says that
"The convention, when it submits the Conslitu
tion to the people, will define the qualificationt oJ
a voter. The fear expressed in some quarters
that every person who happens to be in Aaneao a
the time will be allowed the right of euffrages ?'<
an idle phantom. We solemnly trust that no eucl
folly will ever he proposed by any member of thi
convention. A certain period of previoue reei
dence, long enough to ehuw the good faith of thi
v ter, will undoubtedly be required."
Thus it will be seen that Walker complctelj
abandons his former ground that tho constitutiot
shall he submitted to popular vole on a census of tin
inhabitants previously taken. Now,something inus
have operated this change, and it is left to conjee
ture what that something is. We may assume i
to have been the threat of Atchison to rush in emi
grants from Missouri and other slave Stales equ.u
to Northern enrgrntion for the spcciGo purpose o
voting 011 the constitution, or wo may believe tlia
the voicu of the South in condemnation of his cuursi
c-fleeted the modification of his views and those o
the Administration. We think both had iufl icnee
but the latter the largest ngency. This being th<
programme, it becomes, important to look at thi
probable result of the effort to form Kanaos into i
slave State.
G?-n Atchison, in his Utter to Col. Baker, repub
fished in the Spaitnn of tho 20lh ultimo, says ilia
the registered votes iiinouut to ten thousand, am
that nine-tenths of litem are pro-slavery men
These were the voters who elected the constitution
til convention, as the nnii-shiveryitcu reluscd to vole
But the latter did vote on the Topekn constitution
and from this showing of their strength- it appeurt
they number less than five thousand. Of court*
they pretend that their voters did not turn out; bu
that is an old dodgo of defeated parlies. At tli
time we were much surprised ut the statement o
Gen. Atchison as to the pro-slavery strength, bu
cease to fed incredulity after the Topeka rote, am
ate hopeful that the Southern cause will yet tri
umph.
Denunciations were freely indulged against tin
organisation c?f a National Deinocratio p-irty in Kan
sas, and this was looked upon us another trick o
Walker t > defeat the Southern cause. We nr<
glad to find evidence that this is not so.
The National Democrats of Kansas lately met it
Convention, to nominate a candidate for Congress
There had boeu two candidates, Mr. Carr, formerlj
of Churloton, and Mr. Stringfellow, of Missouri
As their conflicting claims were likely to divide tin
party, they both withdrew in favor of Ex-Guvernci
Ransom, of Michigan, who thereby secured tlx
nomination, and became the regular nominee o
the Democratic party?having received upon tin
third ballot the votes or two-thirds of the member
of the Convention. Upon being informed of tin
result, Governor Ransom made a speech, accept in j
the nomination, and o? erting his devotiou to tin
principles of the Nebraska bill and the Cioeinaat
platform
It is true that Mr. R>n*im is from a non slave
holding Sute, but it is pretty certain that String
fellow and Carr, both full-blooded Southern men
would not have submitted their names to a convex
iiou iii.imcni 10 uiu cuuso lur wiucu nicy iiiivu i a
ponded their efforts and money through the Ian
unparalleled struggles, uor would they have with
drawn their names ns cnndidatis 10 give place t<
one not sound in his views or reliable in Ms actions
We are still encouraged to liopo (lint Kansas veil
be a slave State.
To Railroads and Iron Works.?Geu. Du(
Green, of Wiisltinglou city, who has originate!
more new projects than any living man?all o
which have been signal failures- hav started a nee
i icheme, which might, in other hands, be produo
j live of good results, lie proposes a convention o
railroad and iron manufacturers, to form an orguni
zation, which shall bo chartered in every State o
the Union, with sufficient capital, In he invested it
railroad bonds and other good securities; "that i
shall be the duty of this association to act as trus
lee mid agent for railroad companies in the stile ?
their securities, ami, from the proceeds of such sale:
iitul their own capital, to furnish funds touid in tlx
manufacture of iron f r railroad**, that there shal
he a fixed duty upon iron, rulficient to protret tlx
capital invested In its manufacture, mid the curren
cy from tlie contingencies affecting the pries of for'
ign iron produced by the financial policy of tlx
Hank of England; that the laws regulating mui
contracts be so modified as to authorize ooutracti
Willi railroad companies for the perinuitcnl use o
their roads; und that, instead of payments on con
tracts as now made, there be deli vered to such companies
coupon bonds, chargeable ou the revenue!
of the department, redeemable at the pleasure of tlx
government, and bearing interest at the rate of twe
and a half per cent, for a sum the interest upoi
which at 5 per cent, would be equal to the payments
made for such swi vice under the pioseiil sys
tern; tfist the whole proceeds of the public lands b*.
transferred to the post ollicu luud; and that when
ever the funds of the department and the surptu*
in tho treasury, beyond a sum to he fixed by law
will permit, it shall l-e the duty of the proper otfi
1 otr of the government to purchase up at j>nr sucl
ol these coupon bmids as may have been deposited
under tho laws of any of the States, as a basis foi

, Louisville, Ciueiunati, and Charleston Railroad?a
i magniftoeut enterprise, which (oiled, lor, the time,
simply because the grand conceptions of Blooding,
9 lluyue, and others, were in advance of the age. At
that time 1 believe no railroad was iu operation iu
the whole Southern country, except the one from
f Charleston to Hamburg.
? It waa evident to the moat superficial obeerver, that
, such means alone could give development to some of
I the most interesting and fa-tile portions of the
i Uuion. Added to the exhaostless fertility of the
soil, was an equally inexhaustible source of mineral
wealth, and an absolute waste of water-power for
f manufacturing purposes, Tlio French Brood, IIol,
stein, Notochueky, sn<i Pigeon Rivers, would fur9
uish iron aud water-power or macliinery of every
t kind to supply the oivilixcd world. This dormant,
. national, as well as individual wealth, is almost enI
tirely cut off from the world without the aid of
. railroad transportation. The facilities of travel arc
I also to be noted. Tiiousauds of our low country
f health and pleasure-seeking friends will s|>end their
I lime and money in our own mountain region, inB
stead of lavishing it atuoag our vile traduccrs mid
f libellers.
Under such cirouinstances, aud in accordance
L, with the spirit of the age, it was very natural that
a our friends and countrymen beyond the Blue Ridge
t should be seeking an outlet iu any and every direction
for their teeming agricultural productions ami
_ miners! wealth. I cannot describe the pleasurable
t scnsaiiou* I experitneed a few days age, on arriving
j at this same iusululed region Tennessee) by
an excellent railroad, leading Irotn upper Georgia;
_ and on my arrival iu Kuoxville, to hud two other
roads in a rapid slate ol completion, onu leading on
to Kentucky, and the other coming flour \V. stern
? Virginia. 1 have given this matter as close and
B as deep tliouglit nud cttcntion as I uin capable of,
t and beg leave through your paper to throw out the
u following suggestions. I am alone responsible for
,{- them. 1 have held counsel with nu one. 1 have
I no direct persouul interest, aside fiMin promoting tlio
j interest nud ptospcrily of South Carohua, our common
mother.
If ths Rabun Gap or Blue Rldgo company
e would dispose of, or nbandon their enterprise,
. ami form an alliance with the Uuion and Sparf
tnnbing Road, they would tind a favorable sol
L? aud grade for a road from Spartanburg C. II
to tlic old CiucinaUi line. They can then pass over
I the Saluda range of Mountuitis nt Howard's Gap,
pass me ISlue Itxtge at Butt .Mountain tiap, which
. carries thetn to the table land of Buncombe, (now
Henderson,) and thus overcome all Mountain barL,
r'lers, without even an iuclinei plane. Tbo road
r would then lake the French Broad Valley, which
* presents a grade of less than an average of 13 fret
f per mile?the greatest being about 40 feet. Near
s Newport.it would be uqucstiou of dollars nnd cents
? en irely, whether to take (or some d is tan t the Vale
ley of Pigeon River, nnd reach Knoxville ay p.. nog
, near the confluence of French Broad mi l 1! leoin,
? or crossing the Nulacbucky,and forming a junc ion
; with the Virginia Road in New Market Valley
some Iwcuty or thirty miles Iroiii lvuoavillk.
These remarks may sound strange to noirie ]?-r^ 'tis,
. but I have no reasonable doubt but, if acted oil and
carried out in good faith, Knoxville will uearr' red at
. a year or two or more sooner, and the company save
. more lhau a million of dollars. I appeal to such
s men us Daw kins, Thomson, and Uerudon, of
- Union, and Wallace, Cauncn, and Bobo, of Spar0
tauburg, to iuvcetigato the matter, and Confute me if

lore sugar. Kor the purpose of relieving the do- I
partiix ui of the necessity of replying so frequently i
to this inquiry, lit give a Uriel description of the |
mode practised by Mr. Hedges, of Philadelphia.
Tile lildl ol Mr Hedges consists of three upright
iron roikn s, with heavy wrought slutlts. s- t in strong
east frames above and below. The mill is worked
|.y two horses, an! the eaile is fed through a simple
contrivance wli cli keeps it ui position, so as to cover
the whole surlace ot the io'lers. The null acts twice,

Tln* juice, an ctpris-sed, p.wsca J<iwii through a !
lower an<] ituongh several sieves, which strain
out the fibrous imbalance, and in llien, by a large
funnel, conveyed into and through u tm I ill pipe, unit
or ground, past tin* liurs-.- l<? the clarttiers, winch
are net nbuvo the boilers, all of ivlikkuri' all ii plane
auiuo mx or eight feet below ihe mill. in order t<?
suve pumping or boiling tlio juio". Tim juice is
ijuito thick, and o( n greenish, frothy consistency
before defecation Heal is tlio general means cmployol
in cleanse it.
The boilers, three in number, are in a range, and
graduated is size according (<> the capne.ty of the
mill. The first holds seventy gallons, thu second
loitv, an t the third tivrnty tire.
The tire is appled a little in advance of the urn illset
boiler, mid then pastes successively under tlio i
others, and then under tlio elar fi.rs, which arc
shallow, heavy sheet slicH-iroa pans, 15 incites
deep, II to r> feet fi|U ire, and holding DO gallons,
i The Ileal is moderate under lliese, giving ample
time for I he p- cnlent to coagulu e and rise; and
when at about Iddto 180 degrees Kali, the dampers
are changed and the heat turned otV, the juice is
drawn otVfroni the bottom ill tlio grand reservoir,
leaving the skuni to tie removed for hog and cattle
f ed; the elar.lied o'eaned and relilhd, while the
other (as there must be two) is under way; and
thus alternately yen privced. The juice is limed
in this boiler in rtcutial'*' iho acid, and boiled and ,
skimmed until the next kettle emptied, wlu-n this
is |M?sed into it; then on to the last, where the fire
is still inoro active; and when sufficiently concentrated
it is discharged into coolers made of clear
pine, and afterwards into suitable casks

as our loroe is so very small, an I such mighty e nsequence*
ha.ig upon the success of < ur utl.ick, the
v?iy gre .t *t risk would b? incurred by having our ,
men exposed to musketry fire Iro it houses, tor a m
live'# lire from a loophole is more tliau a match for
u Kuropi-au in the opv?.
To scale tltu walls would be easy, but Do object
would be ginned by pouring our h.itid<'ul of troop*
into a si a of house*, with streets barrieoded; heavy
loss would unquestionably follow. Tin* mode of .it o
lack would bo absurd, and would certiinly end iu
discomfiture. There are ^wo modes ol at tick , flow
ever, which ?>uld not well fail, and I fnn.-y thai
one or the other must be adopted. The first is to
?li.irk the palace at mice (rem the river side, (v?r tinwnier
until tlie cud ol the moiiili .< very iow.und j
is little mure than a stream which is turd able, that it
would create no obstacle worth tnentiooinr. The p
h.iUci.e? could be erected oil thy solid, and thcniiii|i y
being across the river would tie Kite, liy sheWing

could be made, arid tile liie of uur gun- wuuld coil- [(

would hare destroyed nil cover, and probably have
driven out the defendant*, ao there i? little doubt ^
but that the assault would be succe*s!iil. Having
2'>t imuwuiii of tlie palace, the city f ill* at one*.
There is, however, a chance ol the river ruing suddenly,
whcll the batteries would be destroyed, so M
thai this attack entirely depend* upon the river ami
the probability of its rise. The next and sa ewt mode
ol attack, and (lie one that in all likelihood will be P
tin- ou? a lopteJ, is to attack near the Cnahmi-re u
gate. The advantage is this, that our letl would he
protected by the river?* great consideration in n
srund c imp. t>nr guns wo a id soon render the mum
gu -rd untenable, and to uiakr a practicable breach n
:n tlie wall between the Cashmere gate wnd the rir
er would be a vi ry simpleoprrethm. Our advance
would then lie made m the Often, and with little tick
of Io?h 11.mi the fire of musketry from hnnsrs, tor ''
owing to thu i*|ih?ion in the niagiiiuue it is probu- v'
Ole that front the church to the palace all has be. n p
levelled. Our object tllell Would i?u to breach the I u
palace hi its north wall, mortars all the time doing (
their work.

It is scarcely t<i be expected that anything liken vig- B
