U( Another Fearful Disaster. oc PITTSBURG, PA., June 23, 1872.- m At noon to day a terrible accident oc- se curred on the Pitttiburg, Washington and Baltimore Railroad, about three quarters of a mile this side of Connells ville. A freight train going east was running at full speed in order to reach di the switch at Connellevillo before the ou approach of the mail. At the point w mentioned, at a sharp curve on the Ia road, both trains came together so li: suddenly that the engineers of the Ji locomotives could hardly realize the o fearful situation they were in, nor %v had they time to make much effort to w check the speed of their enginnas, af which came stogether with a fea:ful tr crash, that could be heard a long dis- bi tance off fie The trains came together, and in hi an iostant the locomotives were a w pe fect mass of twisted and broken w iron, while the escaping steam hissing oM from the boilers lent additional ter. it rar to the scene. ra The entire freight train was wreck. um od, fragments of it being strewn on at each aide of the track, while'the pat- ag scnLzer train escaped with less injury. tc Eight passengers were seriously iu- hi jured. Some have broken legs, II others broken arms and ribs,. and it of is expected that a number of these ut will die, while some nine oth'ers sus- W tained inijuries of a less severe eharac- hl ter. f The passenger train, with a number 3 of the wounded, arrived here at ten - o'clock to-night. The collision of the 8~ engines, going at the speed both were traveling, is said to have shook the earth in the neighborhond like an earthquake, and net one passenger on the entire train could Utter a wvord m for a full minute after the occurrence. Lilability of Stockholders of Banks for ~ Ontstanding Bills lai Sooth Carolina. C Judge Graham in the Court of tC Common Plens in Charleston county, di South Carolina, has given an elabor. tI ,ato decision as to the liability of ti bank stock holders for outstanding A hills. The particular bank concerned P in the litiwation is the Farmers and Ci E xchange 'Bank.V The Judge decided that the failure , of the bank occurred in 1300. when it suspended specie payment. No bill e4 iisued since then cau be recovered d from the stockholders. All who dealt kt with the bank after its suspension did ti so at their ri,.k, and have no claim an t the stockholders. All bills and notes P issued before the suspension, the' t~ stockholders are liable for, to their face value. The date of the bank note has lit',Ae or no weight in deter maining the date of its issue. The Judge says the presumption of the law is that Lthe blls~ outstanding have t been issued since the suspension and ~ therefore the burden of proof is on the bill holder who olaims an issue prior to the suspension.

Popular Political .PFcllg. Illinois is to have a Liberal Repub. lican State Cou'vntion oithe 26th instant, and New JerOey,:on the 20th. Those movements will show the Greeley strength in those States and the full extent of this strength is what the Democracy wish to know be fore the question of supporting Gree. ley can be determined. Trumbull, Soburs and Grats Brown are reported to speak in the Illinois convention. Brooklyn has 8,000 Liberal 'Re. publicans enrolled, and is adding to the numbers daily. In Florida four Republican news papers support Greeley ; four, Grant, edited by postmastore ; three are un. committed. All of the Democratic papers but one favor Gioeley. This one is uncommitted, awaiting Balti wore. The New York World is publish ing the idea of substituting Adams for Greeley at Baltimore. J. R. Cravens, a Grant elector, in Indiana, is out for Greeley. The New York Herald, which has been very decidedly for Grant, says, after reading the proceedings of the late Dewoeratio State Conventions : "Ihow strange it will be, if it is to be, that the stone which the builders have so often rejected shall becowo the head of the corner !" General McClellan is said to be against Greeley. The Louisville (Ky.) Democrats havs declared for Greeley. The Washington Chronicle maakes the point that Groeley is ineligible, be. oause he cannot take the oath that he has given no aid to the rebillion. In the Lion's Jaw. Lengel, the lion tamer, has been in trouble again. This time it was at Portoge Lake, M~,inn. He was at. tacked by a youug male lion while performing in a cage also containing two lionesses, bitten severely in the oalf of the leg, and thrown down. An account says: .Lengel's presence of mind did not desert him. Tho lion, even in his rage, could not forget the power of his fallen antagonist, and loosened his hold for a moment, and before the lionesses could gather for an at tack the tamer was on his feet, seized his whip and attacked his foe lashing him int.o the corner. Leaving the Dage Lengel walked to his dressing box, across the ring, where he sank faint from the loss of blood. It was round that no bones were broken, but the wounds were so large and deep that the surgeon who dressed them probed them with his finger and fail. od to touch the-end. Lengel has been five times before bitten by his pets, and shows a scarred body, but in every case before his wounds have been from lionesses. This, he thinks, is the second case in which he has been intentionally bitten, the other four being accidents, when in their snarls among themselves they have seized him by mistake. lovenicut of the Printers for Grecicy.

A few days since we published ani extract from one of the Northern papers In which it was stated that a man was shot during the war and had a portion of a silver penoil case and gold pen driven into his body. A portion of the latter has just worked out through his neck. The case ap, pears singular, and may be doubted by some, but there Is on the records of surgery a more singular case, and one in which the recovery of the patient may be deemed miraoulous. It was that a gold watch being entire ly shattered and driven into a man's body through the ribs and lungs, and of the pieces being afterwards ex tracted or ejected and the recovery of the patient. The gentleman who survived this terrible injury is our townsman R. Q. Drummond, Esq., and he is now alive, and except the ditqualification from physically labor, is apparently well. On the 5th of January, 1841, he accidentally shot himself in the left side with a gun loaded with shot, the whole charge striking a gold watch in his pocket and driving it into his body through the lungs, breaking in Its passage several ribs. The watch was cf course torn to pieces', and the frag ments scattered through the body, fortunately missing the heart. In two weeks from the accident some of the pieces were taken out, and at in. tervals from that time for fifteen years afterwards, when the last piece was 1 ejected from the mouth, after having caused one hundred hemorrhages, by a violent fit of coughing. In this manner several pieces had previously .been removed, and with the last Mr. Drummond's health began to improve, and he is now as we have stated, quite well apparently. The wound in his side has never healed ontirely up, and there still remains an orifice of about half an inch through which the breath can be inhaled or expelled. A nun ber of the fragments of the broken watch have been shown us by a friend, and are still mute witnesses of this terrible accident.-NAorfulk Vigin . ian. Dangerous. A mass meeting of mechanics and workingmi was held in New York last Friday night, two thousand be. ing present.

It was determined to form a central committee to fur ther resirtanco to oppression and the maintenance of the eight-hoar rule.- Baltimore Gazelle. Remarkably Clear Water for thils Const. Captain Bringloo, of the pilot boat Mystery, informs us that on Wednes day last, whilst off Dewee's Island, in seven fathoms water, the bottom of the ocean, showing the ridges of sand, could be distinctly seen from the deck of the pilot boat. A tin cup was lowered to the bottom, which was plainly visible. This Is so0nD3 thing remarkable for this coast. The Captain says It is the first time he has witnesesed such clearness of water at sea during the twenty years he has been engaged as a pilot off our harbor, - Charleston Newv. A Pleasant Pla'c. The vinity of Vera Crus must be a pleasant place, judging from this descriptive passage in a late letter fromi (race Greenwood :"Here we reveled in bloom and shade and fra grance here we ate ripe cherries from the trees anid strawberries from the vines. Here we rambled through long avenues of apple and pear andj peach trees of noble growth, and past: fins vineyards anid raspberry and black berry plantations.''

It is true they are no longer in personal bondage, but no ane can give an Impartial survey to the 3ondition of things in the Southern Dommonwealths, but especially in this State, without being convinced that they are in a complete and absolute oondition of political servitude. Thus far they have been led like sheep to the &laughter. They have fallen into the hanfs of the unscrupulous and adventurous, who have but little In terest in the soil, and who have used them as the mere instruments of their :wn purposes. The trust and confi lenee which they have placed in the dventurer has been implicit. They ave been so led, that every appeal in raith and sincerity, and with the pet Fcot guarantee of all their rights, to %at with the white race of the soil, ias thus far, with some excep. ions, been unheeded and disregarded. The mode in which they are thus leceived can perhaps be no bettor lustrated than the declarations made coently to the colored men, especial. y in the rural districts, that the ob. eat of the Cincinnati platform is to leprive the colored race of their ights, and to abrogate the Constitu ;ional amendments. This of course A false. But yet it was credited. It Is as clear attempt at imposition. rhose who utter these sentiments cnow that their utterances are with. )ut foundation, und thus declare that ,he colored race are ignorant enough ;o believe anything they may say, knd unable to distinguish between the Nrong and the right. It is time that these should no lon ger follow blindly, the false leaders )f the past. The language of the Jincinnati Convention, on these oints is plain and unmistakeble. It declares : "We the Liberal Re >ublicans of the United States, in Na ional Convention assembled at Cin. )innati, proclaim the following prin .iple as esential to a just government: "Firit. We recognize the equality )f all men beforo the law, and hold Ohat it is the duty of the Government, n its dealings with the people, to nete out equal and exact justice to all >f whatever nativity, race, color, or )ersuasion, religious or political.

Courier. Increased Consomption of Pean uts. We take the following from an ex. shance, which helps to fully illustrate how proftable the smaller industries f the South are becoming. Where lands are cheap and the climate mild, there is scarcely a limit to honest, industrious effort in the production of articles that are not considered of much commercial importance: There is hardly an article of Amer. can production, of apparently so little note, that has grown so rapidly in importance as the peanut. Instead of 1,000 there-aro fully 550,000 bushels sold annually in the city of New York alone. Previous to 1860, the total product of the United States did not amount to more than 150,000 bushels, and of this total, fully fivedsixths wore from North Carolina, Now North Carolina produces 125,000 bushels Y irginia 300,000 bushels ; Tennessee 50,000 bushels ;Georgia and South Carolina, each 25,000 bushels4 The sweet potato has heretofore been produced in small quantities by large planters, or just enough to satisa fy the home demand. With a new process just invented, the sweet pota to is destined to become an article of great - ommercial importance. Thie home consumption will also be largely increased, for by said process the sweet potato is made into meal, and one gallon of syrup obtained from each bushel, 'The sweet potato is grown with as little trouble as any crop in the South. itationl Press lieunion at ilaltinlor0, Biy a consultation of representative journalists from 'Qarious parts of the country, it has been decided to hold at Daltimore, on the 9th of July next, a grand national reunion of members of the editorial brothrhocod, and of tho representative printers of the country who favor the Liberal tulove' mont begun at Cincinnati, and who may tcgether feel it both pleasarable and desirable to ackowtledge the honor which the people of the nation propose Lto confer for the first time upon the fraternity and craft in the election of Horace Groeiey to the highest position in their gift We agree with the New York Ex. press that this movement is most judicious and well-timed, and we hope to .hear a prompt and hearty response..40 it from all parts of the country.-yCarlein News.

He was traveling in an upper county of Chero kee Georgia, and stopped at the end of a day to remain the night' with a farmer. lie, a stranger, was kindly and hospitably received. At the supper table, this Northern guest very earnestly and arduously advocated negro equality-said he thought ib eminently proper, socially and legal. ly right, for the negro to oat at a white man's table, sleep on his beds and be entertained in his parlor. The proprietor of the house, a man of Southern principles and birth, who believes in the superiority of the white race, listened to the man in silence, but evidently with heated in cignation. The supper was over, and the hour of retiring had arrived, when the proprietor of the house took down his doublo-barrel shotegun, which was heavily loaded, went to the back door. called a hired negro man a big, buck follow, and then ushered him into the bed-room of the Northern man and told him there was his bed-fellow for the night. The Northorn man stub bornly refused ; the Southern man insisted-told them both to turn in for the night or he would kill them. He told the Northern man he had advocated negro social equality, now he had to practice it-that the dose he wanted prepared for others should first be taken by himself, to see how it operated. And at the muzzle of the gun they slept together that night, sweetly no doubt. Next morning the Northerner rose and departed a sadder and wiser man. A Little Girl Walks Thirty-two Miles ia Search of 1er Plother. Yesterday a little girl, only eleven years age, arrived in the city in search of her mother, having walked all the way from Shelbyville, a dis. tanco of thirLy-two miles. Her story is that she was forced to leave by the brutal treatment of a man named Goodman, with whom she had been living. She says that three years ago she was bound to Goodman by her mother who was then living in this city, Her daily duties were burdensome, and sufficient to wear out a person of much stronger frame and make than this delicate child. She was compelled to wash and iron, besides doing household work, and in addition was made to attend, feed and milk thirteen cows. She bore up under her enormous task until nature rebelled and rendered her physically incapable to longer prosecute her labors ; and, informing her employee that she was not strong enough to do the. work, was brutally told that if she could not do It to leave. She then packed up her things and started to this city, arriving yesterday as above above stated. She went to where her mother formerly lived, but was unable to find her. She then went from place to place, but could nowhere hear of her mother, who had doubtless left the city. Yesterday afternoon, In her wanderings, she met with charitable people, who kindly administered to her wants and gained her admittance to a ehari table institution.-Louiut Ledgers hlle lIepublican Fire on Grant.
