The first coach was filled with cinirants, most of whom were killed or seriously ijurcd. Many occupants of the other conches ere also killed or injured. It is supposed that venty-five were killed and thirty wounded, the injority being emigrants. Physicians and others re doing everything possiblo to alleviate the lflferings of the wounded. The engineer and fireman of the express train ere literally torn to pieces, but the engineer id fireman of the switch engine escaped injury p jumping from their engine. As near as can be ascertained, the accident as caused by the switchman having charge of aking up freight trains at Jackson Junction, icupying the main track with a switch engine id caboose, he understanding the express train as considerably behind time. The express ain, however, had made up nearly all lost me. No Southern people among the names of ic killed and injured. ... WOOL AND COTTON FACTORIES AT THE Sot'Tlf. -It is stated that the woolen factory at New raimfcls,.Texas, netted $81,000 profit to its vners Inst year. When manufacturing enterprises in the South e spoken of ns opening n bright prospect for ir pcujrtxr; limited sion to cotton factories. But Just flO~ stTreiyi the South begins to compete with New Eng,nd in cottcn manufactories, just so surely will oolcn factories follow suit. Ono of the l&igesl wool growers in Pcnnsylinin says that the red hills of the Caroliuas id Georgia arc vastly better for raising sheep an any part of Pennsylvania. Just as cotton mill-owners find it profitable i come to the cotton fields, so it will bo ncccsiry to bring thewoolen mills South,*where the leep are raised, aud it will not be m any years eforc it is demonstrated that wool can tie made j cheaply in South Carolina as it can be in cxas.?Greenville Xews. Lawlessness in Georgia.?The Macon Tele tiji/i chonicles a scries of outrages in Baldwin ounty five inilcs from Milledgcvillc. The acts f lawlessness have been directed principally gainst a I)r. J. A.

A few days since is gin house was burned, (lis attention was illed to the burning building, and lie went toard the spot, and was fired on several times by crsons ambuscaded in a field of tall cotton.? a the gin-house was a large amount of seed itton, gins and other articles. A few nights Tier other houses on his place, fodder-stacks, snccs. fee., were burned. On Saturday tnorn- | lg last, a negro who lives on Dr. Ilobson's lace, while riding along the road to Milledgcillc in company with two others, was shot by sveral parties in the bushes which skirted the oad. Five balls penetrated the body of the arkcy, and he died immediately. The two Heroes who were with the dead colored man were o frightened that they were nfriad to tell what liey saw and knew. The sheriff has gone out a the scene of the murder, but no arrests have cen made. . ... !>?.... 1<l..

At the meeting on Tuesday L was proposed that "The Sorosis" should take art in politic, and the members were invited o assemble yesterday (Friday,) to "take mcaurea "to defeat Governor Itobinson, on tlie round "that lie vetoed a bill allowing women o become members of school boards," It. was nnounccd that Mr. Thurber had placed printng presses and money at the disposal of Miss 'liomns, the leader of the new movement ; that irculars wcic preparing which a hundred woncn had been engaged to distribute through he State, and that Mr. Cornell and Mr. Kelly vcre warmly in favor of women taking part in lie campaign. If the Mr. Thurber above named is the great Iroccry man who has lone such an extensive Southern business, it shows where he stands, politically, and should be remembered by South:rn Merchants. Th?

Ckimk in Nkw Knci.ani*.?New Iluvcn, Octobcr 5.?Mrs. Martha Baldwin poisoned her imbecile and widowed sister, Mrs. Dicker man, and / then poisoned herself. Both will probably die. ^ Mrs. Baldwin was paid for years by her sisters' conservator for her care. The sister was to be n removed to n hospital, and Mrs. Baldwin dread- b ed the loss of the weekly stipend from the con- u servntor, and probably was laboring unJcr the J, influence of liquor. When a great critno is committed at the South' () the Northern press charge it ngAinst the whole J, community in which the crime is committed, and c boldly present it as "another evidcnco" of the p awful condition of Southern morals and South- p ern Society. Surely it would not be fair to as- o or ftb^rrt+^rpartrTi' ft, nro ft bloody-minded people because Sirs. Baldwin, of a New Haven, poisoned her imbecile and widowed tl sister. If, however, we may judge from the 11 numerous shocking crimes daily reported of late from that self-styled model section of our coun- " try we should say society there is in an awful u condition, and we don't belicvo Henry Ward c Beecher himself will be able to purify it.

Itcjmbtican, a well being dug at he fair grounds caved in at tlio bottom iter it had reached a depth of 110 feet, mrying William Selves, a workman, under bout thirteen feet of sand, measuring from lis head, while he was in nearly ay upright losition. The well had reached a depth fono hundred feet, when a stratum of 30sc white sand was reach'd, which made urbing necessary. An upriuht curbini? u sections four feet long was used. While mtting in the fourth scctiou tho caving in f tho well took place, first crashing in the ?w,ec fluctiou, tfUttih Wi\s uot liuished, and inmtigSclvea gjj 1 rnipits. It was ihstautTy followed by the i lirec sectious above, which were crushed i the centre. On seeing it start Selves ad instantly raised a section of the curbig over his head, bending backward, face p, with the arui supporting the piece of urbing stretched above his head. In this i osition the sand settled : cut him, com < letely binding him except his head and i nc arm, which he could move at that time, ho section of curbing which he had raised I hove his head created n vacuum which < >r a short tiuie communicated with the 1 icuutn through tho centre of tho well- * ado by the coming together of the barrel- i ke curbing.

Soon niter this was accoui- ' lishod the sand settled solidly above him, t aviiig only the vacuum under the board, i hich soon filled so close as to imprison 1 ic arm that had been at liberty and also 1 i render his head immovable. I In this situation, plainly depicted by t imself in sepulchral tones through the air t ibe and perfectly audible at the top of the t ell, William Selves, then six hour? with- 1 it food and cramped and chilled by the I Id saud, lie would hold ou to life if there t ere bravo hearts enough above him to f idertakc his release, knowing full well 1 ic danger to thoso who might attempt [ iu a hurry.
