A Train of Cktat Precipitated Thirty
F?t??ut Co??arntd i>y ??M jr ?.-TinHiing
The dreadful ?coident which befell a
passenger train Oh the Clarksville divi?
sion of tho Memphis . nnd 'Lou ia vi lie
Railroad occurred at a point eight miles
South of ClurkBviUo, Tennessee, at 1
o'clock in the morning bf Wednesday,
the 28th. Tho mniti facts which reach
ns by mail vary but slightly from those
already published in the telegraphic de?
partment of this paper. At Louisville,
says th? Courier-Journal, of Thursday,
the nows came in nil the appalling ex?
travagance common to first report of
railway catastrophes, producing the in
tensest excitement, and it was at a late
nour before the > people were relieved of
their painful anxiety by a tangible ac?
oonnt of the mishap. Much of the dread
appr?hension was dispelled by the com?
paratively email loss of hnman life, but
the occident Was horrible enough in any
aspe31. FOOT persons were killed out?
right and forty or fifty wounded, more or
less seriously. Tho Courier-Journal fur?
nishes the'following details:
The accident occurred to the second or
night passenger train from Memphis to
Louisville. Ia crossing the bridge and
trestle over Budd's Creek, eight miles
below Clarksville, at 1 o'clock in the
morning, the greater part of the struc?
ture gave way and precipitated the whole
train into the Talley or bed of the creek
from an altitudo of about thirty feet.
The train consisted of locomotive, ca?
boose, express and baggage car, two pas?
senger coaches and one sleeping-car, all
of which were dashed to .splinters, and
afterwards, with the exception of the
sleeping-car, entirely destroyed by lire.
The fire made nearly a complete rain
of the train and its contents. Only three
passengers saved their baggage. All the
remaining private property, save the gar?
ments, money and jewels upon the per?
sons of the passengers, was consumed.
The express books and papers were saved,
and from them it is ascertained that there
was about 8100,000 in the safe. At last
accounts from the wreck, the safe had
not been recovered. The destruction of
the cars, express and mail matter and
baggage involves a loss little, if anv,
short of $800,000.
The South bound train roached the
scene of the disaster some two hours
after its occurrence, affording all needed
relief to tho sufferers. The wholo of
them wore taken back to Clarksville,
where the dead were neatly dressed, and
placed in metalio burial oases, subject to
the orders of their friends, and the
wounded were kindly ministered to by
the citizens pf the place.
As described by those who were abonni
the ill-fated train when it went down,
the situation was awful in tho extreme.
In a conversation with the wounded
gentlemen, now at St. Joseph's Infirma
ry, many interesting particulars concern
ing the disaster have been gleaned.
Most of the through passengers fron:
New Orleans disembarked at Memphit
for Chattanooga, and tho cars were bul
partially filled up to the time of the acci
dent. 1 Soon after leaving Paris, where
the train men are chauged, the passen
gers retired for the night. An increased
rate of speed was noticed by the passen
gers, and it operated to moko manyo
them wakeful. Mr. McCall, one. Ot tin
killed, was even alarmed at the :rapic
motion of the train,, and OK prcised hil
conviction U\af> there waa danger ahead

trestle. , . . .-.Vm /tay CI .ST ?atlH
About 1 o'clock tho sleeping traveler
were a waken od 6y a sudden rough move
ment of the'train.^as ff ft ^ere 'off th
track. After this jolting motiarr - th
train appeared to coin? to a ?tarid still
and those 'whop bad been aroused ooh
gratulatod themselves that ali was righ
again. Just afc that Listant, they sa j
the train waa on a poise, ready to fa
over the trestle height.::. In au other, sc
cond tho wliole lino.of oars h&dtpitche
downward, and lay a qvushedAiid gbastl
heap in thc busin of the creek. No
withstanding thftjfcusning and. sh at ter in
of tho cars and ,tho i u disc ri mi nate wrec
of human huings,/hardly a voice wt
heard. ' The stillness WP:J as profoundC
death. Tiro spans of ?hu bridge, abai
fifty feet each in length, and four ben
of the trestle fell. The speed was E
high that it eairqpfrlhe train under tl:
track on tao other side, of the creek..
As soon, aa those who.'.werehutsliglitl
disabled recovered from the'alcock, thc
set about extricating 'CheCif ss "fortuna
of their companions. The dead ac
maimed were all removed to tho mo
comfortable localities around, and tl
cushions and bedding from tho wreckc
cars were happily brought into usc.
is a fact not a little singular that tl
children, of whom there was a good
number, were perfectly quiet during tl
desperate accident, and without exec
tion escaped uninjured.
While tho unhurt passengers were h
inanely engaged iu releasing and caril
for those incapable of helping thci
selves, tho debris of the train took fi
from tho engine furnace. This occi
renee, diro ns it might havo appeare
created no nndue excitement, owing
tho precautions adopted by tho co<
headed men performing the work of c
frication. The fire barned slowly, be?
ginning at tho engine and gradually ap?
proaching tho rear Blroping coach. The
on tiro train and contents, as we have
stabed, were consumed, except the New
Orleans sleeping car, which wa? badly
damaged,- Nearly all of the bridge and
trestle-work also fell a prey to the con?
flagration.
On the side of the trestle upon which
the train fell is a dense thicket, and tho
51 ace has a generally dismal appearance,
'ho wounded men and women, being
thinly dad' and mostly barefooted, suf?
fered greatly from exposure to the night
air, which was sharp and chilly. Their
situation ( was forlorn indeed. No ono
knew whence to look for assistance. It
was finally suggested that some one re?
connoitre the ground and find means of
succor. In about two hours after the
catastrophe-two hours of inconceivable
affliction of mind and body-the youth
going train arrived upon the scene. The
living and dead were tenderly transferred
to thia train and taken to Clarks ville.
Hero the victims of tho deplorable and
fatal break down received the most de?
voted attention at the hands of the citi?
zens and tho ofDcers of thc railroad.
Mr. Hugh McColl mot his death fr.om
the pressure of a piece of timber upon
his breast as ho lay in his berth, which
was tho vory hindmost in the sleeping
car. He was a merchant of highjstand
ing in New Orleans, and he aud his wife
and son were en roule to the East on a
tour of pleasure. His body will be
brought to this city and deposited in
Cave Hill until tho recovery of his wife
and son, who aro now at St. Joseph's
Infirmary.
Tho engineer, Eugene Riloy, was kill?
ed by the escaping steam of his engine.
He leaves a wife and child nt Bowling
Green, Kentucky, where he had lived
some time.
Charles Shields, tho fireman, also died
from the inhalation of steam. He was a
resident of Bowling Green, and leaves a
wifo and children.
Tho trestle consisted of four spans of
short wooden girder bridges joined to a
trestle, and were but three years old,
while the trestlo was but two years old.
It was supposed to bo a pcrfeotly eafo
portion of the road. The remnants of
timber left standing show perfectly
sOund.
All endeavors on thc part of tho rail?
road compan3' to discover tho causo of
tho accident have been fruitless so far,
as tho bridging is nearly nil burnt. Some
of tho surviving passengers, however,
attribute the casualty to either or both
the reckless speed tho train was making,
or'the insecurity of the bridge and tres?
tle-work. It is not believed to have re?
sulted from any defect in tho machinery
of tho locomotive, as tho engineer, whoso
life was sacrificed, was known to bo ex?
ceedingly careful in that matter.

THE CONDITIONS OP HEALTH-It ie
idle to expect health if the precautions neces?
sary to secure it aro neglected. The human
organization is a delicate piece of mechanism,
and requires un much intelligent care and
watchfulness to keep it in order, as are re?
quisite in the management of the most com?
plicated combination of levers, wheels and
pinions.
At thia season of tho yoar the body is pecu?
liarly sensitive, becauso it is greatly weakened
and rolaxod by tho continuous heat. Tho skin,
iu Hummer, with its millions of peres wide
open, is a very different sort of tegument from
tho compact ii brou a covering whlJh it becomes
under tho action of tho winter's cold. The
muscles, too, are comparatively flaccid, the
n?rvea tremulous, the blood poor, and tho
whole li nnie leau capable of enduring fatigue
and resisting disease, than in cool weather.
Thcso indications of a depressed condition of
the vital forces arc so many unmistakable
hints that nature needs reinforcing.
Ordinary stimulants will not effect this ob?
ject. They inflame and excite, but do not
strengthen. The old}* preparation which can
be depended upon to impart stamiual vigor to
tho system, and enable it to endure tho ordeal
of thc heated term without giving wav under
ttio pressure, is HOSTKTTEit'd 8T?MACH
BITTERS, a tonic and corrective so pure, so
harmless, so utterly free from tho drawbacks
which render many of t he powerful astringents
employed in medical practice more dangerous
than tho ailments they aro employed to cure,
that it may bo administered without fear to
the feehlrst female invalid,or the most delicate
child. Th?! cathartic and altorative vegetable
ingredients, which aro combined with those
of a tonic.nature in its composition, keep thc
bowel? moderately freo tu.d perfectly regular,
while the work of invigoration is going on.
The finest blood depurenta which tho herbal
kingdom affords are also among its compo?
nents, so that it recruits, purities and regu?
lates tho Byetem simultaneously. Aug 1 fT

2b the People of South Carolina :
Thc above Company was organized in 18CG,
in consequence of tho wholeaalo forfeituro of
Southern policies byNorthorn companies. The
unparalleled success of tho enterprise has
forced several of theso companies to restore
their Southern policies, from the fact that they
could not;operat* in our midst without the ap?
pearance Of honesty.
We keep all our money at homo to build up
our impoverished country-every dollar of
?tremium being safely invested in tho Stato
rom which it is dorived. The institution is
purely Southern, and hence should appeal
with great force to the patriotism and sympa?
thy of every Southern heart.
'Tis not oar purpose to make war on other
companies, bnt to exhibit the special advan?
tages offered by this purely Southern Compa?
ny-founded on patriotism and solid wealth.
Its ratio of assets to liabilities-the true test
of a company's strength, is second to nono on
thia continont-being nearly 300 to ICO.
Whenever and wherever we have presented
the claims of this Company, it has not only
enlisted the sympathies of our peoplo, but has
also secured their hearty co-operation. Wo
have secured 500 policies in Soxth Carolina
since the 10th of February. We number
among our Directors Gen. Wado Hampton and
Col. Wm. Johnston, gentlemen well known to
evory citizen of South Carolina. Wo appeal
personally to tho people of South Carolina to
aa8ist in pushing forward this deservedly
popular Southern institution.
