ORKAT LOSS OF I.IKU, MANY I’HR * SONS WUI/'N f iCll. Ac. 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 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. Ski rLKMKM of Kansas. —A letter iu the Bt.

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 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.

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. — 1 ■— 1 ■ - - 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.

Schuyler executed an as signment, dated Monday, July 3d, to Messrs. RitchardM Blutchford, George R. J. Bowdoin, and Samuel L. M. Barlow, providing that the as sets are to bo regularly divided among the co partnership creditors. The Liabilities, including the claim of tho New Tork and New Haven Cos., will probably amount to about $5,000,000, while it is doubtlful if the pre-ent value of the entire assets amounts to $500,000, or sufficient to pay ten cents on the dollar. A statement may be ex peoted aa to the liabilities and assets of the firm as soon as it cun be prepared. There are many inquiries as to what has been done with the mis sing fu infer, but says a New York paper, the matter is easily explained. Mr. R. Schuyler was not ad dicted to extravagant or vicious indulgences of any sort, and the funds appear to have been sunk in bona file railroad expenses. Vermont Road, with which he was identified, sunk about $350,000 in stock, besides a heavy depreciation in bonds. The Saratoga was also a bad speculation ; and many of tho Western roads have Imrdly been more fortu nate. Schuyler las abseonded and is supposed to lie in Canada.
