WILMINGTON, N. C. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1857. THOUGHT BETTER OF IT. Tbe free Sute men of Kansas hare cared in nnd will not continue their rebellious court by insisting on the " Topeka " policy. . They will lake the advice of President Bcchikaw, after all, and partioipnte in the coming election, under the laws adopted by the Legislature and aU the con stitutional sanctions ef Congress. IN A QUANDARY. The black republican papers make no attempt to dislodge the President from bis high position, "which he has attained in his answer to the forty three Connecticut clergymen. No attempt what ever is madorlo controvert the facts and arguments set forth by Mr. Buchanan. It was undignified, say they, to answer the memorial. To be fore -the clergymen are a mean set of fellows, as their "writings show ; but it is sometimes necessary to notice blackguard libellers, when they are in re spectable position and nnder influential titles. THE SUGAR TRADE. Wc find, already, tbe confirmation of our re marks relative to the fall in the prices of articles of necessity or in common use. The fall In the value of sugar and molasses has been grett with in a few weeks past. The losses on tb stocks on hand must have been many millions of dollars to dealers in this country, and much more to foreign holders. The Boston Traveller says : The decline from the highest point Is now over 3 cents a pound, and there is a strong probability that bottom is not yet half reached. When the decline had reached only one-half the present amount, a few weeks since, the New York Inde pendent estimated that on tbe stock of 85,000 tons of sugar and four million gallons of molasses, held in that port alone, the loss was then fully three ADd n half million dollars. Of couse it must be double that now, as if this loss is made on that stored in New York alone, what must it bo on the vast quantity afloat, in store in Europe and in the United States, and tbe stocks on hand In the sugar exporting countries. It cannot be less than fifty millions of dollars already, and as the tendency is steadily downward, it will proba bly reach a hundred millions before the dealers w ill be able to touch the next crop. SAVED FROM DROWNING. "Ve learn that, this morning, a little boy, some six to eight years of age, son of Mr. George H. Kelley, fell over-board, from Market street wharf, and would have been drowned, had not a negro man named Joe, belonging to Mr. Jsmes Moore, jumped in and brought tbe littlo fellow safe to land. Joe is deserving of all praise, and wa take pleasure in awarding him our meed. Journal of yesterday. THE FIREMEN'S RIOT MORE OF THE WOUNDED. Baltimore, Sep, 8. 1857. On Sunday night an attempt was mado to re new the distnrbance at the United Engine House A considerable crowd of persons assembled in the neighborhood and around the Honse of Mrs. .FIjnn, from n hence the attack with firearms wss made .the night previous on the Washington House.. Signs of a renewal of tbe b'oody scenes soon became apparent, when Sergeant Psmphil lon and nicer Tarring, of the southern district, appeared and took two of the ringleaders into custody upon tbe charge of trying to incite a ri ot. Justice Webb committed them to jail to an swer the charge at court. Tbe wounded in tbe riots of Saturday night are generally doing well. The nam of tbe Ger man youtb shot and noticed as unknown is Fred erick Grumber. He bad a musket in his bands at the time, and was engaged with the rioters. Tbe ball struck in tbe back of bis head and glan ced down Into bis neck. We have obtained the names of others wounded in the affair. James Aid rich, shot in the leg. He resides in Biddle street, and is a member of the Mount Vernon Hook and Ladder Company. George Oakley, buck shot in the nose and cheek.. Robert Grave stone knee shattered bfball. It is koown that at least twenty persons were shot, the seve ral named seriously as to render concealment impossible. The residents in the vicinity, too, who, aroused by the gang, imprudently approach ed their windows, narrowly escaped being shot, as the balls in several instances passed by their beads through the windows and lodged In tbe ceiling. Others were deliberately fired at. A number of warrants hare been issued for the ar rcst of known participants in the disturbance. From Vie Ashvillt News. BAIL ROAD MEETING.

FOUR DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE. St. John's, Newfoundland," Sept. : 6th. The steamer Arago, from Southampton for New York, with dates to the 26th nit, arrived on Thursdsy last, aud brings the following intelligence : HORRIBLE ATROCITIES IN INDIA. The English papers give numerous aofjonts of the atrocities perpetrated on Europeans in India.' A letter from Bangalore says : We have had an awful time of it, I can assure yon, though we ourselves have been mercifully kept from alarm and danger. No words can ex press the feeling of horror which pervades socie ty in Iodla, we hear so many private accounts of the tragedy, which are too sickening to repeat. The cruelties committed by the wretches ex ceed all belief. They took forty-eight females, most of them girls of from ten to fourteen, many delicately nurtured ladies violated them, and kept them for the base purposes of the heads of the insurrection for a whole week. At the end of that time they made them strip themselves, and gave them np to the lowest of the people, to a buse in broad daylight in the streets of Delhi. They then commenced the work of torturing tbem to death, cutting off their breasts, fingers and no ses, and leaving them to die. One lady was three days dying. Tbey flayed tbe face of another la dy and made her walk naked through tbe street. Poor Mrs. . the wife of an officer of tbe re giment, at Meerut, was soon expecting her con finement. Tbey violated her, then ripped her up, and, taking the unborn child, cast it and her into the flames. No European man, woman or child has had tbe slighest mercy shown tbem. I do not believe that the world ever witnessed more hellish torments than bave been inflicted on our poor fellow-countrywomen. At Allahabad tbey bave rivaled the atrocities of Delhi. I really can not tell you the fearful cruelties these demons bave been guilty of cutting off tbe fingers and toes of litt'e childen, joint by jint, in sight of their parents, who were reserved for similar treat ment afterwards. . Another letter, speaking of the outbreak at Al lahabad, says : Tbe officers were al mass when tbe wretches sounded tbe alarm bngle to bring tbem to tbe parade, and ?hot them down right and left I Wretched murderers, may they receive their re ward ! Nine poor little ensigns doing duty with tbe regiment were bayoneted to death in tbe mess room, and three of the officers who escaped heard their cries as they passed ! Poor boys, who had never given offense to any native, nor caused dis satisfaction to tbe Sepoys. Fire officers were shot belonging to the regiment, besides the nine poor boys. Birch and Innes, with the sergeant major, in all 17 military men, many merchants and others were most cruelly butchered in all 59 Europeans fell that night by the hands of tbe murderous Sepoys. The Treasury was plundered, the prisoners released from jail, and the work of destruction commenced. Tbe whole station was destroyed, house after house plundered and fired. Every day we have had expeditions to burn and destroy disaffected villages, and we bave ta ken our revenge. - . I have been appointed chief of commission for the trial of all natives charged with offenses against government and .persons ; day by day we have strung up eight and ten men. We have the power of life and death in our bands, and I as sure you we spare not. A very summary trial is all that takes place ; the condemned culprit is placed under a tree with a rope round his neck on tbe top of a carriage, and when it is pulled away off he swings. ENGLAND. Tbe Europa arrived at Liverpool on the 23d. Tbe Circassian arrived at the same port on the 22d, in less than eight days from St. John's. A letter from London says If the telegraph com pany should postpone operations until next sum mer, the present cable will be sold and a new one made, five. hundred miles longer, in season to be laid next J une. The deliveries of teas in London estimated for the week were 716,657 lbs., being a decrease of 84,961 lbs. compared with the previous statement. A ship has arrived at London with a cargo of flour from Australia. Spollen, who was acquitted of tbe murder of Mr. Little, of Dublin, has been re-arrested for his robbery, and would soon be tried therefor. The House of Lords passed the divorce bill with smendments.. It was ratified by the House of Commons. The protests of the clergy of the United Church were favorably considered. It is deemed quite a triumph on the part of the latter Sir Colin Campbell has been ordered to command the forces before Delhi. ' The London Sua regards the news from India as gloomy and unsatisfactory. francs. Some of the papers repeat the report thatPrince Albert and the Duke of Cambridge will visit the camp of Chalons, and adds that great preparations are being made at Rbeims for their reception. The Moniteur do la Flotte informs us that the English ship Abeona entered the port of Algiers on the 10th inst., disabled, having on board 1,035 officers and soldiers for India. ' SPAIN. - : - The Spanish cabinet were considering a propo sition of the municipal authorities of Havana for reducing the Import duties on flour. TDRXCT. Warlike rumors have been received from the principalities. It was reported there that Prince Danilo was preparing an expedition to invade the Turkish territory. - The Porte had announced a willingness to re sume negotiations on the basis of tbe arrangement made between Queen Victoria and the Emperor Napoleon at Osborne. -The Sultan also consents to near elections in Moldavia. ' . aossu. , Tbe question of the Principalities was exciting much remark. The Emperor baa ordered his Ambassadors at Vienna and Constantinople not to compromise themselves in the matter. raussiA. ,. The news Is of rather a warlike nature garrison of Herat is being strengthened. ITALY. ' Tbe differences between tbe cabinets of Turin and Naples are unsettled, and matters look deci dedly unfavorable la that quarter. The TBE TESRIRL2 COLLISION AND LOSS OF V LIFE ON THE CAMDEN. AND ATLANTIC RAILROAD. , Tbe Baltimore Son of Tuesday says : It was an nounced by telegraph yesterday that on Saturday evening a collision took place on the Camden and Atlantic Railroad, twelve miles from Philadel phia, attendedjby the loss of three lives, and the injury, -more or less, of between fifteen and twen ty persons. The following additional particulars we find in the Philadelphia papers of yesterday i It appears that the express or excursion train, which left Camden at half-past four in the after; noon, proceeded at its usual speed until it reach ed about half way,' and below White Horse Sta tion, twelve miles from Philadelphia, when ; the passengers were startled by tbe signal of "down brakes," and the sudden and terrifie crash caused by the collision of this train with a wood train coming up from some point between Atlantic City and that station. The locomotives of the two trains were completely demolished, the baggage car and tender of the express train were broken up and driven two-thirds through the first passen ger car. The wood cars of the np train were pil ed one upon another, distributing the wood and portions of the wreck in every direction. The ac cident occurred at a slight curve in the road, and the engineers when they saw each other attempt ed to reverse their engines, but too late. Nearly all the victims were officers of the road, and a mong tbe passengers were many well-known Phil adelpbians. . ; . .'. Tbe killed were Mr. Donnelly, conductor of the express train ; Mr. Wm. A. Smer, brass founder, residing near Fifth and Brown streets, in this city, and a fireman of the express train. Mr. Donnel ly lingered about thirty minutes before he expir ed. He was frightfully injured, yet remained conscious to the last. He was attended by a med ical man who chanced to be upon the train, and also by Mr. Brodbead, tbe president of the road ; but the only syllables uttered by the expiring man were tbe words, "Who is to blame 1" Mr. Don nelly was 26 years of age, apd had faithfully per formed tbe duties of his position for many years. He was accompanied by his wife and child at tbe time of tbe casual ity. Mr. Siner was also fatally injured. At first it wat supposed his injuries were not of a serious character. He was brought to Camden and pla ced upon the ferry boat, but died before it reach ed Vine street wharf. The fireman of the express train was instantly killed. He was dreadfully bruised about the body and the flesh was entirely stripped from the bones of his left leg. When his body was taken from tbe track aud placed upon a beard it pre sented a most shocking spectacle. Mr. Geo. W. Richards, ex-president of the road. was in tbe baggage car at the- time of the colli-, sion. He was injured quite seriously internally and considerably braised about tbe head. Mr. Richard B. Osbourne, the engineer, and one of the builders of the road, was sitting with Mr. Richards in tbe baggage car. He was badly bruised, but no bones were broken, anhis wounds are not considered or a serious cnarxcier. - Mr. John II. Os bourne, ex-superintendent of the road was in the same car. Ilia wounds were slight. His escape from instant death was truly miraculous. The engineer of the trp train escaped with a few braises. He reversed bis engine and jumped off jest in time to save bis life. Tbe engineer of the express train also jumped off, but be was somewhat scalded, and received a few slight brui ses. A son of Mr. Robert Frazer, the secretary and treasurer of tbe company, was among those in the baggage car. , Bis injuries, it is feared, wore of a serious character. Mr.' James Rich ards, a brother of the ex-president, was also bad ly injured abont tbe back and legs. A young man, doing business for Mr. Warne, at the north west corner of Fourth and Spruce streets, bad one of his arms broken, and sueh internal inju ries that his attending physician was doubtful of his recovery. Mr. Glenn was among those m tbe first passen ger cars. He was considerably brnised. Mr. W. S. Smith, formerly a member of select council ; Mr. W. H. Bailey, of Philadelphia ; Mr. S. Lowe, of Washington ; Mr. E. B. Wolfe, of Philadel phia ; Mr. James German, Mr. Massey, Mr. May wood, and a lad, name unknown, of Philadelphia, were triflingly Injured. Among those who esca ped were Charles Ingersoll, Esq., J. M. Scott, Esq. and John Clayton, Esq. John Broadbead, Esq., president of the road, was among the passengers, and escaped very nar rowly from sharing the fate of the sufferers. Tb? train numbered among its passengers all tbe em ployees of the road, who had made up an excur sion party among themselves. The entire passen ger list, including these, was about a hundred and fifty. The train consisted of a locomotive, tender, baggage car and three passenger cars. The pas sengers in the middle car hardly experienced the shock, while those in the rear one were thrown Into the utmost confusion, and the seats broken up. None of tbe passengers in this car were se riously wounded. The wood train coming up bad a passenger car altacned to the rear, containing about fifteen persons. These scarcely felt the shock of the collision. The engineer was the on ly one an this train who was hart. The Ledger says that Wm. G.Lowe, 19 years of age, the son of Mr. Lowe a merchant tailor In Wilmington, Del., had one arm broken, and may probably lose it. It also announces the arrest of R. M. Tattle, the- conductor of the freight train, and Geo. T. Brooks, tbe fireman. Tbe corner's jury is to give the whole matter a thorough In vestigation. An eye witness of the collision writes to the Ledger. Tbe first person we saw was the fireman whose body Isy among the bushes, with tbe head almost severed, by a long and deep gash, from his should ers. The engineer of the down train seeing that a collision was inevitable, gave an alarm and jumped clear of the falling mass around him, but bis fireman was caught amid them, and no doubt was struck by a piece of iron from the locomotive, and thus killed instantly. - Donnelly, the conductor of the express train, was most terribly mangled ; his legs, below his knees, were actually torn and mashed into ribbons of flesh and muscles. He bore his agony with great fortitude, and seemed more anxious to know "Who was blamed 1" A scene occurred here that brought tears to every eye. The poor fellow had bis wife and children on tbe train for a trip to the ocean. The poor woman was in tbe third ear with her children, and, as she cam near the spot where her husband lay bleeding and dying, un known to her, she suddenly recognized him and threw her arms around his body, and frantically entreated "My dear William" to speak to her. Dr. Pitney, of Absecom, whose activity and kind ness to the sufferers entitle him to the' warmest praise, dressed his wounds, and used all posible skill In his efforts to save him, bni in rain, as he died before we reached Camden. The down, way-train, eoming about an boor bo bind us, took all of us on board, the dead, wound ed and unbanned and after several tedious de lays, prudently made to avoid meeting Jhe excur aioo to start down at 7 o'clock, we reached Cam den about half past eight o'clock. After we got aboard of the ferry boaV the in jured were carefully carried in ; among them' Mr. Siner, who, immediately after the sccidentt seem ed by no means seriously Injured. When we were about to start in return Mr. Henry Rood and our informant assisted him on the train, and be walk ed without much difficulty, but seemed to be get ting weaker very rapidly. He was still partially sensible when Carried by some of his friends on the boat, but before we left tbe wharf a still deep er shade of gloom was thrown over all, as it pass ed from man to man that he had just died among us. His family are occupying a cottage a Atlan tio City, and he was hoping soon to join them. Mr. Siner was a fine athletic looking man. - -' ; The" persons who were most seriously, injured were all in the front car; and fortunately all the all the ladies escaped. . -i t The decided opinion of all . at. the wreck was. that it waa entirely the fault of the conductor and engineer of the up train or wood train ; indeed, no one there or at Haddonfleld seemed to think oth erwise. There is no do doubt the up train was behind time, according to tbe road time table, at least twenty minutes, and according to rule should have waited at the last turnout below; but instead of doing this came on, when an express train was known to be coming down the road at a rapid rate. The engineer of the express train came on them just as we passed a curve, aud even before the brakes were put down. The conductor of the up train disappeared immediately after the colli sion, as there was a disposition among the more violent to lynch him. DEEDS THAT AliE DE$THLES3.

In the month of October last I was afflicted with a severe eatherig in my breast, which formed a large abscess, and also communicated to my Lungs and very much afflict ed them, and discharged large quantities ofcorrup tion, external and internal. My breath could also pass through my Longs and out through the cav ity of my breast with apparent ease, attended with a violent cough, day and night, loss of appetite, and extreme debility, so that my physicians thought my case entirely hopeless and beyond the power of medicine. I remained in this wrenched condition for a Ions: lime, until I was wasted to a mere skb.'fton, and there seemed to be no hope for me but havir0' read in the public papers of the maiiy wonderful cu7e wrform;bv your COM POUND SYRUP OP V.'JLD CHERRY, I im mediately sent to Baltimore f?T fie bottles and commenced its use, and to my grfat satisfaction and my anxious family, the abscess or opening m my longs began to hesl, and the cough euB?tded fend on using ten bottles I was restored to perfect health. I believe, that to your valuable medicine, under the blessings of Divine Providence, I am indebted for this grest chsnge, and I am happy to say, that lam now enjoying as good health as I ever have. Over five years have elapsed, and 1 still remain a perfectly hearty man at this date, June 2d, 1S56. I have not had a day's, sickness for the last Ig months. . Please accept my grateful acknowledg ments. Tours, very respectfully, THOitSAS DIXON. The Subscriber is well scquaintedwith Thomas Dixon, and can testify thst the he has been afflct ed aa above represented. I regard his recovery al most as a miracle. He is a worthy member ot So ciety. .-: 1 J AMES R. DURBOROW, Pastor ef BerHa Circuit,' Baltimore Conference.
