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: Two daughters of a Mr. Guy, of Auburn, Ala. One lady, unknown—through passenger. Three children and wife of a gentleman from Texas—supposed to he on his way to Dougherty county. Mr. Snell, nephew of the Conductor of Colum bus.. Mr. Douche, au Italian, a train hand. Mr. Miller, the Engineer, of Columbus. Negro boy, property of Robt. E. Dixon, Esq. Also two negroes, one the property of Mr. J. M. Russell, the other the property of J. L. Mus tian. Also, one other negro missing. KNOWN TO BE SAVED.- Dr. Phillips, of Putnam count y, Ga. Dr. Walker, of Columbus. Mr. 11. V. Suell, the Conductor of Columbus. A gentleman from Texas—whose family was killed. A negro boy in charge of Mr. Pryor's Horse, Moidore. A negro boy belonging to the railroad, and also a white man who escaped with him, and who ar rived in the city yesterday. Also, several others, names unknown. The Supreme Court at Oswego has recently held that an action against a bank on a protested hill, cannot hold on the simple endorsement of A. B„ cashier, unless the avowed purpose of nego tiating the bill, or the specification of the name and authority of the bank supposed to be repre 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 •eene brobably by the Belknap mail due to night. 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 Kansas City (Mo.) overland mail stage ar rived at Stockton on the 24th instant, having oc cupied fifty days to complete the journey. A five took place on the 20th instant at Texas Springs, Shasta county, which destroyed several buildings. Direct trade between Washington Territory and China has been opened. The ship Lizzie Jarvis recently arrived at Fort Gamble, fifty-three days from Shanghao, to load with spars for China.— This fact is worthy of note, and is doubtless the precursor of a vast lumber trade between Puget sound and the Chinese ports. Decrees dissolving the bonds of matrimony be tween the following parties have been granted by our District Courts within the past few days, viz : Elizabeth Wilkinson and Walker Wilkinson ; A.

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 ald. 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.

J St. Louis, Dec. 27, 1858.—The Santa Fe mail of the oth inst., reached Independence on Satur day. The conductor reports the snow on the route three feet deep, and the weather was very cold. The Legislature was to convene the. day tho mail left. Fort Defiance ..ites arc to Nov. 21. Col. Miles had pursued the Indians into their I mountain fastnesses, over regions heretofore un known, and the white men were putting them to flight wherever they found them. Maps of the marches were soon to be made out, giving much information respecting the country. Major Backus returned to Fort Defiance on the 18th inst. He had had no regular tight with the Indians, but had killed six of them in various skirmishes. Capt. Vaddes, of a company of spies, has been badly wounded. Col. Bonneville and Superintendent Collins go to Fort Defiance during the armistice, to treat with the Navajoes—their action to he final either for peace or war. Judge Boon will take the district vacated by Judge Benedict. * The Southern Pacific Railroad. New Orleans, Dec. 25th, 1858. The Southern Pacific Railroad Convention ad journed to meet at Marshall, Texas, on the 16th of January. President Morton, on receiving a vote of thanks,congratulated the Convention on its successful issue. The stockholders arc in high spirits. The company's trust deeds indebtedness is about $327,000. Their entire liabilities are §500,000. To meet the former there are $135,000 in the hands of Mr. Fowlkes, and SIIO,OOO can be obtained from other sources, leaving§B2,ooo to be provided by the New Orleans and other stock holders. Nothing remains to he done but to get Texas to relinquish the suit for forfeiture of the charter, which will undoubtedly bo done. Journal of Commerce. Interesting from Mexico. New Orleans, Dec. 26, 1858. 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 tary posts in Chihuahua #,nd Sonora, as suggested in the message. Zuloaga was'still in Mexico, but was prepared for flight at a moment's warning. General Mar quez had been defeated near Guadalajara by De gollado. The Archbishop had refused to advance any more money to the Zuloaga taction. Anew government, under the form of a triumvirate, had been proposed at the capital. A fleet, consisting of five French and three Spanish war vessels, was lying at Sacrificios. The United States sloop-of-war Saratoga was also there. Another American sloop-of-war was seen off Yera Cruz. It is stated that one hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars in silver had been found in the vault of Mr. Forsyth’s house near the city of Mexico. It was rumored that Zuloaga had offered to place Mexico under English protection, and that Mr. Worrel had gone to England to arrange mat ters. Echeagaray had defeated Camano at the haci enda of San Miehatas. A Spanish brig-of-war was at Tampico. General Alabriste defeated the Zuloaga forces before Puebla.

Among all preparations for the hair that have been introduced as infallible, none has ever given the satisfaction or gained the popularity that Prof. Wood’s Hair Restorative now has. Ilis Restorative has passed the ordeal of innumerable fashionable toilets, and the ladies, wherever they 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 in full vigor. —New York Tribune. ■ Sold by all Druggists in this city, and by deal ers and druggists generally throughout the United States and Canadas. dec 15—wd2w.
