I'Vurn ilio Baltimore
One us tho moat appalling accidents which
ever Occurred tn our midst, happened yesterday
ahernoon, near tho city, >u the Haiti more and
Susquehanna Railroad.
We are indebted to the extra issued hy the
ihdtiinore morning papers, fur in any of the de
tails of the terrible calamity.
Early yesterday morning a largo number of
exeurtionists repaired to Rider’s Grove, D niilea
out on lire railroad,lu qic.ud.the day. Tlio. accident
occurred about one mile tliis side the tirove, be
tween tho upward train for Y'ork-aad one us the
trains containing a portion of tlio exeursionista,
ou their way to tho city.
The scene of theaceidont was a curve of the
road about midway between the Relay House
and Rider's Grove.
Three trains, full of ladies ami gentlemen,
with children, left the city during the day, lo
participate in tlio celchr.itiuii. Reluming, one
of tho trains left for Hultimorc at two o'clock,
another started at live and the third, with which
tho accident occurred, at about fifteen minute*
later.
At ‘25 minutes past I o’clock \’ sforjny aft*, r
nooa the regular tiain for s’ork, left Calvert sta
-1 tion, consisting of four passenger cars and a bag
; gagocar—all, with tho exception of the last car,
1 were tilled with passengers. Mr. William Scott
| was conductor, accompanied by Mr. Hollins,'ami
j other oUlcers of the mad, who were repairing to
Rider’s Grove to assist in the arrangements for
the safe return of tlncxuur. ioiiists. On arriving
at the Relay House, the York train, according
to orders, proceeded to lay off on the Green
Spring switch, where the instnietious wore that
it should wait until the excursion train or trains
passed. The express train from York, duo early
in tho day, which had been thrown out of time,
was w ailing at the Relay, and after it had passed
down towards Haiti inure, we waited for one ex
cursion train, of about sixteen cars, crowded to
excess, which passed down without giving any
information to the conductor that, two otlior
truius were coining, which unfortunately proved
to be the case.
The road being now supposed to he clear, the
York train again took tlio main track, mid pro
cevdod pn, and hud scarcely gut fully under
weigh, when, about -thieo quarters of a milt*
from tho Relay j and about a mile from Rider’s, a
terrible crush, accompanied hy a rush of steam,
brought all who were uninjured to their feet,
and on escaping from the wrecked cars, u most
heart-rending scene presented itself, that it were
impossible to describe in all its horrors.
Tho locomotive attached to the excursion train
was behind pushing tho cars; that attached to
tho other train was in front, and literally plow
led its way into the cars, loaded with passengers,
in front.
About half a dozen cars were crushed and shiv
ered lo atoms, and a largo number of the unhappy
inmates either killed upon the spot or dreadful
ly injured. Tho scone is described as harrowing
to tho last degree. Several of thoso killed and
wounded were so caught in the wreck of tho
broken oars, that they could not bo released for
a considerable time.
Axes and crow-bars wore brought into requi
sition, and theme alive and unhurt made super
human effort* for their relief. The cry for wa
ter from the sufferers was continual, ami seve

who un t death standing manfully at his poet at
his break, endeavoring to check the destruction.
The accident occurred at 540 minute* pant 8
o’clock, and it was half-past seven o'clock be
fore tlieiaat body wae taken from the wreck.—
Tho dead, tho dying and the wounded, were
strewn about upon the grass, tome of the
bodies horribly mangled, whilst tho broken
limbs and deep gushes in the bodies of the wound
ed, remlere-d it certain that many woro injured be
yond recovery.
Messengers were sent to tho city, immediate
ly alter the accident, for relief, and a number of
phyticiuus, whose names we did not ascertain,
were soon on the ground, as also were a number
from the vicinity, who labored unremittingly to
relieve tlio sufferings of the unfortunate creatures
strewn about.
The trains from tho city did unt however,
reach tho scene of tho accident until after 8
o'clock in tho evening, nt which lirnu there were
about 3000 awaiting conveyance homo, all the
exourtionists having arrived from the scene of
their festivities to the scene of death.
The principal portion of the sufferers Wero in
the excursion trains, although several of those in
tlio accomodation train wero also killed and
wounded.
The huiliesof the dead were all placed in one
car and piled up one upou another presenting a
ghastly spectacle. Most of them, had been in
stantly killed by the crash, some us them being
horribly crushed and mutilated iu a manner to
sicken tho beholder of the spectacle. The wound
ed were made ns easy as possible, and, in most
cases, their friends were at tho depot, a: and had
tlioin immediately removed.
Coroner’s Verdict.
The coroner’s jury, after a full investigation of
the civoitiiistaiices rendered the following ver
dict : _
“Tlio jury find that the deceased person* came
-totlmir death from carelessness of the conductor
to the accommodation train, Mr. Wm. Scott, in
not strictly observing tho time in tho schedule,
and we censure tho officers of tho cumpnuy, in
nut being more specific in their instructions to
the conductors.”
After tlio rendition of the verdict, the coroner
look Mr. Scott into custody, and afterwards re
leased him upon his parole until the following
morning,
Japan, Russia and the United State*.
A Calcutta paper, “Tho Englishman,” ex
prcssiw groat surprise at tlieciitiru change of jk>l
ii-y in the Japanese, in the admission of Ameri
icansinto their ports. It supposes that they
were guilty of somo diplomatic tineses, in deny
ing that they bail granted a similar favor to the
lin-si.ins, and that Russia had views of ambition
with regard to the Kurrulc Islands, ns a prelude
to the seizure of a largo portion of Japan, which
was manifested by the assembling of a large na
val forces in the Chinese waters, but that tuc de
sign was intercepted by thciwar in Europe. It
say*:
To what are we to attribute this entire change
yf policy ? Why has this long waled empire
opened at thetoOch of Commodore I’erry? We
suspect that the war iu China with the English
made a profound impression upon the Japanese.
They saw the utter inability of that vast em
pire'to contend against Europeans, and dreaded
involving their own country m calamities like
thus* which had befallen their neighbors. So
long as the foreigners kopt away voluntarily,
the restrictive-system answered ; out the instant
demands wore made for admission, backed by
a naval forco which could not bo opposed, then
tlio necessity of conciliation became manifest.—
The Japanese are well aware that the Americans
am! English aro not Jesuits in disguise, and
do not fear from thorn a renewal of the
disorders which caused the expulsion of
the Portuguese. Whether they will allow Pro
testant missionaries to teach there is another
question and it would he imprudent to urge this
upon them nt present; but that their hatred of
Christianity, which was entirely political, will be
ultimately overcome by free intercourse with
Europeans, is not to be doubted. It seems to ns
evident that had our government taken steps to
procure admission to Japan immediately after
the ratification of tho recent China treaties they
would have met with a reception similar to that
of tho Americans, at least if backed by as
strong a forco. It was long ago said that there
is no ambassador whose persuasive powers are
equal to a line of battle ships, and of this the
tqroedy settlement with the Americans is n
proof.

■v Our College*.
The report of the Board of Visitors of the ‘Griffin
Female College,’ will be found on our first page.
’ It embraces all that we have received upon the
’ subject, nnd so ample in its details as to leave
nothing requisite for us to say. Tho public will
! be able to form their own opinions of the merits
, of the institution, if, indeed, after so long and suc
, cessful a career, any new opinion remains to be
f formed upon the subject. By reference to a card ip
another place, it will be seen that the exercises
this College will bo resumed on the 14th of Au
-1 gust next.
N. B. Since writing the above, we find in the
Jeffei gonian a very lengthy conclusion to the re
: port of the Hoard of Visitors of this College. Had
1 it been furnished ns in time for this paper (which
, might easily have been done) we should have
j given tho report entire. We do not approve of
. the system of splitting these things up into frag
. meats and continuing their publication indefinite-
I ly. Pcoplo must learn to do things right if they
expect our co-operation in their interests.
The “Synodical Female College.’’ —We ful
’ ly calculated upon laying the report of tho Board
-of Visitors of this institution before oar readers
this week, and with that anticipation have omit
’ ted those editorial comments upon the examina
tion which it would have been our pleasure to sub
-1 mit. Wo know not upon whom has devolved the
| task of drawing up the report, but it does seem to
{ us that, with proper industry, it might(lmve been
finished in time to place before the puhlio while
■ their interest is yot alive to the subject. It would
. seem os if editors alone aro expeoted to write up
; on any and every subject at the shortest possible
notice, while others may deliberate for days and
weeks over the labor of nn hour. We are disap
pointed, and presume many of our readers will be,
at the absence of a full report upon the merits of
the exercises of the Synodical College from this
, week's paper.
Between this Institution and the Griffin Female
College, wo believe there is no rivalry but that
1 which springs from a laudable desire to promote
; the best interests of education. The Synodical
1 f go being the younger, we may bespeak for it
’ ti.o kind consideration of a community whose aim
’ should be to discriminate only in favor of merit;
1 and where this is made thn arbiter of public opin
ion we have no fears of disparage ment to the in
! fant College.
, —Marshal College. —We regret that the ab
-1 senco of the senior editor and our own preoccupa
. tion has jorevented an attendance upon the exam
. ination * the studentsof this College. We have,
I however, heard the most flattering accounts of the
■ intellectual progress of its students from those who
1 wero happily permitted to witness the Commence
* ment exercises. We thaH probaMy lay before
I our roaders next <* eek the report of its Board of
Visitors.
\ The private Male School of Mr. Swobe, has al
, so, wo loam, given very general satisfaction to
I to those in attendance upon the examination of its
, students.
f Need wc reiterate our provious assertion, that
■ nowhere in the State ure better facilities for a
r complete education afforded, than in Griffin ? In
* point of health it is unsurpassed by any other lo
f cation—there not having been, we believe, one
! case of sickness among our college students this
term.
> Last Day of the College Exercises.
p This was truly a day of triumph to the friends
of education. We did not hear the compositions
1 of the junior class read, but have heard many of
’ them highly commended. In the afternoon, we
j listened with extreme pleasure to the rending of
j composition by Miss Mary E. Campbell, subject,
, “ Nature, the Oracle of Godand one by Miss
Mary Ellen Kirkpatrick, subject, “A Miracle
a Proof of Divinity.” Than* two young ladies
’ compose the graduating elate, and we con truly
say that the compositions of both evinced a high
I order of talent. That of Miss Kirkpatrick, as a
literary production would do credit to the genius
? < experienced Writers. At an argument it
1 was forcible, perspicuous, and logical.’ In foot,
! wo do not recollect to hare ever heard two better
) compositions read upon any similar ooooaioo.

would haw been abandoned for the mots attrao
tie*, though Ims imposing field or literary
qdOMt. Following the prsoedMt of others, we
expeoted the lost Sabbath’s sermon would have
been one prqgnantwith those transient flashes of
brilliant oratory and beautiful metaphor which
graoe the pleasant and seductive pathway of soi
enee and literature. Much as we would have ad
mixed such adisoourse, and gratefully os we would
have witnessed the revellings of genius maid the
luxuries of each a theme, we yield assent to the
better judgment of the eloquent divine, and admit
the superior applicability and appropriateness of
the subject of his selection. Without intending
to eulogize the speaker, we must be permitted to
express our hi gh approbation of the sermon. Nor
is there any particular ground for self-gratulation
ou the part of aa orator whose theme alone is ca
pable of inspiring tho roost sublime thoughts.—
The Human excellence 0/ Christ —the perfect mod
el of human character —that was tho subject.—
The mcral beaqtiea of the great propitiator ot sin ;
the perfections of one subject to mortal imperfee
lions; endowed with human senses; susceptible
of human emotions, and liable to human ‘ errors,
were of themselves the very impersonation of elo
quence. The speaker, divesting our Saviour of bis
divine attributes, presented him to the auditory
simply ia the character of a man. W hat a weight
of argument —what a well-spring of hope does
this singlo reflection inspire. To know that he
who is the centralization of Christian hope; He to
whom the world- worn, the dispirited, the down
trodden and the outcast, may look for final re
demption, was once mortal, like ourselves, and
passed through the trials and temptations of mor
tality pure and holy, to occupy the triple throne
of God eternal, is to know that roe too, mortal as
be was, may by a living faith repose! in him, and
by the exercise of those virtues whioh character
ised the man Christ, become joint occupants of
Heaven and heirs to eternal happiness. O what
an incentive to emulation is this! Christ on earth
was bat a man ; and tho speaker told of his hu
man traits of character ; spoke of his human affec
tions, his generous impulses, his deeds of charity,
his meekness, his patient endurance of evil, his
prayerful submission to torture; and incited us to
imitate those virtues which alone constituted
Christ a great man, and without whioh an inher
itance of eternal happiness must be irretrievably
lost. Particularly did he impress those lessons
upon the youth of the oongregntiun. He invoked
the attention of females to the importance of an
early Christian education, and showing them
wherein they were less subject to temptation than
the males, exhorted them to meekness, benevo
lence, and love, as evidenced in the life of Christ.
The duty of filial affection was beautifully and
impressively illustrated by the example of Christ's
love to bis mother, when at Calvary he assigned
her to bis friend with an injunction to be her sun.
We could dwell upon this discourse, for it em
braced much of interest to us, and wus treated
with an ability which bespaks profound thought,
lively imagination and fervid Christian piety in
him who addressed us. But lest our renders
should tire, we will close, with an expression of
the hope that thoso present will profit by the ser
mon, and in emulating the excellencies of Christ
the man, prepare them so Ives for a final enjoyment
of the presence of Christ Jesus.

Education,
We, in common o Ith a large number of other
persons, citizens a:.*] strung* rs. have bren plens-j
antly entertained for the past two weeks with cx-!
bibitions of the mental attainments of the students j
of our male and female institutions of learning.;
This is, perhaps, an appropriate t me to say some-!
ting of the system of education generally prevalent
at the South, especially that of females. The
higher branches of learning (os they nre termed)
constitute accomplishments, certainly desirable, but
for all practical purposes of life, they do not. in
our judgment, deserve that prominence which
bos been assigned them in the educational system
to which we refer. The first object of education
should be to prepare the mind for that encounter
with the realities oflife which is inevitable, and
whioh no brilliancy of accomplishments can evude.
As the order of architectural construction is to be
gin at the base a ith a solid foundation and build
up, so should the mental edifice be reared upon a
permanent, practical nnd thorough understanding
of the elementary principles of an English educa
tion. The uneducated Mike Walsh, uttered a
sentiment worthy of the ripest wisdom, when he
said, “ I would not barter away all the practical
knowledge I have received in lumber and ship
yards for all the Latin that was ever spoken in
ancient Rome. I bed rather speak sense in one
plain and expressive language, than speak non
sense in fifty.’’ <j
Spelling, reading, writing, the English gram
mar, arithmetic, geography, and natural pbiloso
phtj, ore studies of primary importance in a eoun
try and among a people like ours. Nor can they
be thoroughly understood and appreciated if other
•■kjtett of tern practical utility am introduced to
dnteatet the student's attention. With a cermet
