The engineer, Sidney B. Cooper, and George Harvey, fireman, were se? verely injured by the escaping steam from tho locomotive. A plank was placed on the traok just below the depot at Daysville, but was swept by the cow catcher about 200 feet. Farther on, the angina enoonntered a tie, in the very heart of the village, and swept it some 500 feet to a switch, where it caught in the frog and threw tbe locomotive from the traok. The whistle blew down brakes, and every effort was made to keep the train on tbe road bod, but the speed was so great that the engine could not be stopped, and it swept the cap? stones from the bridge ovsr the . Five Mile Riyer, and the locomotive and three oars, containing sixteen persons, fell into a bog meadow some fourteen feet below, burying the engineer and fireman beneath the ruins. After an hour's labor they were extricated, badly bruised and scalded, but they are report? ed as doing well to-day.

Washington, Judo 17.?The report of McKenzie'? exploit into Mexico hears the following endorsement from Sheri? dan: "I take pleasure in heartily approving the conduct of Colonel McKenzie as a gallant not. Tbe only oourse for the 1 seonrity of lifo and property on our side of tbo Rio Grande is to do as Colonel McKenzie has done. I do not believe that any boundary should exist between the United States and Mexico, whou we are defending the lives of our citizens and protecting their property against a merciless band, to whom the name of murderer, robber or thief applies as co? vering their deeds. The gallant act of Colonel McKenzie is best recorded in his plain narrative of the event. I can only add that tho Government ought to stand by McKenzie." The report and General Sheridan's en? dorsement were forwarded to General Sherman, and tbe latter endorsed it as follows: "The conduct of Colonel McKenzie is fully approved. If the attack was made oa Mexican soil, as the report does not indicate, it is clearly the duty of the Mexican Government to complain; but as the War Department has no official knowledge that such is tho fact, we need not take any action. It is my opinion, that whon a band of free-booters, mur? derers, robbers and outlaws make the re? cognized boundary line between two na? tions at peace a safe guard for their crimes, there oan be no just cause for diBsention if tbo lawful forces of either nation pursue them for the purpose of capturing them, or ending their deeds of violence." San Francisco, Jane 17.?It is stated that there are twenty-seveu steamers in China waters, waiting to bring Chinese to the number of 29,000 to California.

The affair creates intense ex? citement in Edgefiold, whero the parties arc well connected. About thirty years ago, Lovett Goumillion killed Jumes Glover, uncle of Arthur Glover. Washington, June 11.?The total amount of back pay returned to tbe United States Treasury is $192,021.31, and the number of Senators and Repre? sentatives who declined to receive it i6 forty-six. Mrs. Hull, the widow of Captain Hall, did not come here to represent her needy condition to the Secretary of the Navy, as has been stated, but to soo tho Esqui? maux Joe and Hunn, to learn from their lips the sad particulars of her husband's death; but in this she was disappointed, as they had been sent to Maine. On his previous expeditions, Mrs. Hall always confidently looked for his safe return, but on his last voyage, she had a pre? sentiment that he would never come back. Secretary Robofcon has been hard at work all day prepariug his report of tbe examination of the Polaris castaways. The report will not be ready for the press until to-morrow. The Secretary of the Navy has leased the Tigress to perform a speoific duty. When the de? partment fully determined to search for tho Polaris, it became ovideut that wc had no vessel in our navy suitable for a trip to tho Arctic regions. Tho Secre? tary concluded first to purchase a suita? ble vessel, when ho was met with the ob? jection that there was not an appropria? tion available for snob a purpose. Nego? tiations were subsequently entered into with the owners of the English seal ship Tigress, to lease her to the United States for a specified sum, not yet made i public. Tbe terms were accepted, and she is now en route to New York, where she is expetiid to arrive next Tuesday; The Evening Star says tbe following statement may bo relied on as .strictly ac? curate: "Cupt. Hall hioiHflf was sau* guise, not only of accomplishing glo? rious results iu behalf of science, aud reachiog the Nortb Pule,"but ueemed confident of a safe return. He wn6 pleased especially with tbe selection of Oapt. Buddington as im saiKug mus er, ana so expressed himself t'o many friends before his departure. Oapt. Buddington was his old sailing master in 18G0, twelve years before; and be seemed to buve great confidence in his ability in tbe Northern latitudee. He bad manuscript safllcient to make several largo volumes, and he told his friends tbut when be re? turned, he intended to settle down and devote eevcral years to the oareful pre? paring for public ition of tbe data be bud obtained in his various Polar expedi? tions." It may be inentioucd ns a mat? ter of rumor, tbut while dipt. Hall was I pleased wi'h tbe sulecUou of Bnddiug ton, bo disliked Tyson, tbe- mate; but it does not appear, if such was the case, that he ever formally protested aguiust his occupying au offinial position. The Treasury Department has issued an order closing tho United States De? pository at Cincinnati, aud as-signed all the business of that office tu Assistant Treasurer W.

Enquirer saj6: Some New Eoglaod lady, Mrs. Daniels, we believe?another of the Daniels come to judgment?has invented a new-fan? gled apparatus for keeping the ladioFj stockings up, which is to supersede the time-honored and knightly garter. It may do well enough for those ladies who lack sufficient rotundity of limb, but onr Virginia women are not deficient in any of tho necessary adjuncts that go to make up the perfect mould of tbe form, and can keep their garters on, and stockings up, without resorting to auy new inven? tions What will the Yankees ask us to surrender next!

A Mammoth Organ?Boston to bb Eclipsed.?Mr. Thomas Winan3 is build? ing an immense organ iu connection with his private music hall, conspicuous for the tall chimney, which towers above the buildings and trees of his splendid city residence in the Western section of the city. The organ, it is understood, will be, when completed, the largest over constructed anywhere, and is being built without regard to cost. As there is more or less of experiment in the structure, Mr. Winaus has been reticent about his plans and purposes; bat it is kuown that Pomplitz is the builder, and ono of the mammoth wooden "pipes" for tho in? strument being noticed on the street yes? terday, attracted geuerul attention. The "pipe" was thirty-two foot in length and about two feet square. It was painted yellow, and looked like a huge smoke? stack. It is understood that tbo organ I will have over twenty-five bass pipes of this size and description, besides a for? est of smaller pipes, requiring altoge? ther, it would seem, the wind of a hurri? cane almost to make 'em blow. It is also stated that it will bo a year yet be? fore the organ is finished, aud that it will bo run with steam, and is inteuded to eclipse the organs of the world, in? cluding even the pride of Boston. It will be, in fact, a sort of concentrated jubilee in itself, when it is once set a going.?Baltimore Sun. There is no subject so serious that tho modern newspaper will not make a joke on it.
