COLIMBUS, SATURDAY, JANUARY 1, 1858
Disaster on the Muscogee Railroad
It was our misfortune to witness a most heart
rending scene of suffering and death on yesterday
morning. As the day-light, train from Macon was
crossing a small culvert about a mile and a half
i from this city, the Locomotive and tender were
precipitated into the water —the bank, which was
about fonr feet bigh, having been washed away.
The train was moving slowly at the time, hut the
momentum was sufficient to urge the forward part
of the engine up on the hank, while the hinder part
was in the water. In thi* rear of this was the
tender, in a nearly perpendicular position, and
so close to the engine as to confine between the
two, the bodies of two firemen, one a white man
by the name of Walker, and the other a negro,
who, we understand, is the property of Mr. John
L. Mustian, President of the road. In this situa
tion they were either crushed or scalded to death.
The accident occurred about 5V% .o’clock. Every
effort was made by the hands and passengers to
’ extricate the sufferers, but without success, Mr.
. Walker was probably killed by the shock, as be
never spoke afterwards. The negro, however, was
conscious for half an hour, as it seemed to us that.
for so long a time his screams thrilled his sympa
thizing but impotent hearers. The engineer, Mr.
George Smith, was thrown from the engine a dis
tance of ten feet, and, either by the fall or the
blow which caused it, had the hone ofhis under
jaw broken. It was set by Dr. Bozeman, from
whom we learn that he is not dangeously injured.
No responsibility can reasonably attach to the
engineer for the accident. He was running very
l cautiously and slowly, andovera part of the road
which had been safely crossed by another train hut
a few minutes before. The shock to the passenger
car was very slight—hardly sufficient to arouse
one from a sound sleep.
Terrible Rail Road Accident!—l4 Lives or More
Lost !
The most fatal Bail road accident that has ever
happened in Georgia, occurred yesterday morning
at 5 o’clock to the passenger train from Columbus
to Macon. The two trains one from Columbus and
the other from Macon—had passed at the station
and the former was passing over a bridge at Ran
dall's creek—fifteen miles from this city — when
* the culverts • gave way, precipitating the
. whole train into the swollen, angry stream be
low. It was quite dark and the rain was fall
ltilliug in torrents. The Engine immediate
ly sank to. the bottom and one car was thrown
upon it in the stream.
The scene, is said, to have been appaling. The pas
sengers—half-awakened from sleep, found them
selves enclosed within the narrow limits of a car,
struggling for.their lives. It is not known wheth
er there was a window up in the car or not, nor
can the passengers who were saved or rescued give
any account, of their manner of escape. The
, stream was sufficiently deep to hide the car had it
sunk, and the height of the bridge from the water
(30 feet ordinarily) was so great as to cause the
car to turn over in the swollen torrent. There
were about tifienty-eight persons, including Eugi
r near, firemen aud hpeakemcn upon the train. Of
this number, fourieen arc known to have found a
watery grave.
It is supposed tbal some of the ladies have not
yet been recovered.
The passenger ear floated down the stream and
i'-i.npnin collision with the wagon road bridge,
some fifty yards below, the latter was forced to
give way, and both car and bridge floated about
one mile below the scene of the disaster.
Dr. Phillips, of Putnam county, saved his life
by clinging to a tree, half a mile below the
bridge. While thus hanging to the tree, he res
cued a negro boy floating near him from an un
timely deatn.
A negro man belonging to Mr. Mustian, of this
city, also saved the life ef a Mr. Cammell (sup
posed name) —the railroad agent at Howard’s
station. One of Mr, Gammell’s ribs was broken.
Mr. Snell—the Conductor—had his nose broken
by the fall of the ear, though saving his life.
The bodies of the lost cannot he brought now
to the city, as the creeks arc so swollen aud the
bridges so impaired by the recent heavy rains as
to render the running of the trains a dangerous
experiment—of the number saved all are more or
less injured. The ladies were all lost.
• KILLED, DROWSED OR MISSING.
The following is a list of persons known to
~be killed, drowned, or missing:

sented, shall accompany such endorsement.
Another Battle with the Camaxciies An
ticipated.—The Dallas (Texas) Herald of the
15th, says: #•
We learn from a private letter, that au engage
ment was expected to have come off on the V>th
inst.. between Captain Palmer’s company of cav
alry, and a baud of two hundred Camanches, en
camped some forty miles beyond Camp* Cooper.
We have no particulars, but may hear from the

The Atlantic Telegraph.
After the great burst of enthusiasm over the
laying of the Atlantic Cable there is quite a calm
iu public sentiment. The glory of the achievement,
it seems, is yet to be celebrated. For the infor
mation of our readers, we lay t>efore tfiem some
information in reference to the enterprise gather
ed from the London Times.
It is now apparent that no attempts can
be made with any prospect of success, to
lift the old cable until the return of calm weath-
er at the end of April or May, and even under
the best circumstances, the expectations with re
gard to the operation are not favorable. Mean
while it has been definitely ascertained that the
existing damage was not at the shore end. The
laying of the now end has been completed to a dis
tance of 12 miles out from Yalentia, and the por
tion taken up was found to he in a perfect condi
tion for all electrical purposes. Experiments
lately undertaken by a person previously uncon
nected with the enterprise, strongly support the
original inference, that the main fault is about 270
miles from the Irish coast, at a depth probably of
900 fathoms. There is also a fault on the other
side which is thought to be about ’3OO miles from
Newfoundland. Currents, however, still continue
to be received, although of a kind so feeble and
uncertain as to be useless for any practical pur
pose. At present the current is in charge of Mr.
Henley, who is manufacturing an apparatus such
as his experience on the spot leads him to think
may yet possibly lead to some results, but in no
case could there be a hope of achieving perma
nently any satisfactory communication otherwise
than by an entirely new line. After the unani
mous expression of opinion, not merely by the
commercial towns but tbe people at large, that
the work is one that the nation should not allow
to fail, it may be presumed there is little doubt
of the required help being accorded, subject to
such stipulations as may protect the interests of
the public.

The South Carolina Legislature, compared with the
Legislature of New York.
The Legislature, which is now in session here,
presents some striking contrasts with the Legisla
lature of the State of New York. Incredible as
it may seem to the AYeed. Matteson, and other
lobby men, there is actually a State Legislature
meeting daily in this city, without a “third
house,” or a single lobby-man within the bounda
ries of the capital. Nay, more : a United States
Senator is about to he elected, aud not a wire is
pulled to influence votes —not a single long nose
is poked into the car or senator of representative
to win him over to “our candidate.”
The manner of conducting the business of the
houses here (lifters materially from the method in
New York. The presidents of the two bodies are
seen dressed iu purple gowus, lined and fringed
with velvet of the same color, and with kid gloves
’ on, while the clerks wear flowing silk robes,
after the fashion of English barristers. The mem
iters observe but little order,walking about and con
versing while business is going on, and only seated
and silent from courtesy during a debate. The
fashion, too, of wearing the hat during the session
—visitors only are required to be uncovered—
gives tbe houses a rowdyish appearance, very
similar to our own legislative halls during a re
cess.
The presiding officers of both houses are digni
fied and able men. and conduct the business, iu
the midst of the confusion, promptly and correct
ly. Very rarely indeed, is a point of order raised:
aud should a recent Jefferson Manual representa
tive from Queens be caught suddenly in the South
Carolina Legislature, he would bo caged aud
shown as a curiosity. There are in the House of
Representatives three reporters, and in the Sen-
ate one. But this is accounted for by the fact that
no lobbying i3 done on the floor, and no station
ery orders are allowed. Both members and re
porters are furnished with such articles of sta
tionery as are required for use iu the chamber, *
aud that is all. Another feature of distinction be
tween this Legislature and our own is the fact
that every member here pays full fare for all his
railroad riding. No such thing as a “free pass”
to a reprseutative was ever heard of in the State.
The moral of all this is, that the South Carolin
ians legislate for the State instead of for individ
uals ; waste no time over needless matters; lay no
pipe for log-rolling; steal nothing, either from
the State or from individuals who desire leg
islation: meet, ,do up their business and go
home, paying their hoard and washing bills and
their faros. —Columbia Correspondent .V. A 7 . Her

Gen. Joseph Lane, the “Marion of the Mexi
can War,” as he is called, has written a letter to
the Washington Union, in which he contradicts
the rumor that Oregon has only a population of
43,000.
In 1850 the poptilation was about 10,000.
In 1855 the census though imperfect and leav
ing out some 5,000 to 10,000 residents, showed a
population of 43,7000. Judging from this rate of
increase, Gen. Lane thinks that the present popu
lation of Oregon is at or near 95,000.

The steamer Tennessee arrived here to day,
bringing Yera Cruz dates to 22d inst. The news
is undecisive. The Progresso speaks in high terms
of President Buchanan’s message, and thinks the
position it takes with regard to Mexico will in
duce the European Powers to recede from their
present attitude. It also anticipates that the
liberals will reap some advantages from the one
assumed at Washington, and consequently that
they will he no necessity for establishing the mili

in the message.
Zuloaga was'still in Mexico, but was prepared

Restorative has passed the ordeal of innumerable

have tested it,pronounce it a peerless article. They
find, where the hair is thinned, that it creates a
fresh growth —that it fully restores the vegetative
power of the roots on the denuded places, and
causes the fibre shoot forth anew—that it dis
solves and removes dandruff, prevents grayness,
restores the hair to its original color when gray
ness has actually supervened, gives a rich lustre,
imparts the sofness and flexibility ot silk to the
hair, and keeps it always luxuriant, healthy and
