A locomotive belonging to the Erie Railroad 
exploded at the Genesee Valley depot, in Rochester, 
on the evening of the 14th inst., resulting in the 
death of the engineer, a hrakeman, two little girls, 
and a yonng lady. The fireman was blown out of 
the cab, bat escaped injury, and the rear of a dwell¬ 
ing near the track was blown entirely off. The in¬ 
quest developed no reason for the explosion. 
Another explosion took place in Buffalo on Friday. 
The locomotive waB entirely wrecked, and several 
persons injured, but none fatally. 
A disastrous fire occurred in Elmira on Thursday 
night of last week, in a hardware establishment.

bam and a shed containing large quantities of grain 
and hay. Four fat hogs and several wagons and 
buggies were also consumed. The residence was 
saved by the greatest efforts. Loss $3,000.

vanced age of 78 years. He entered the navy when

rebellion, but his advanced age c mpelled his early 
retirement. 
Tne Eleventh Annual Convention of the Machin¬ 
ist’s and Blacksmith’s International Union of North 
America, was held in Buffalo last week. President 
O. B. Dailey made an address, in which he recom¬ 
mended the establishment of an intelligence office

of Brigadier-General in order that he may command 
the District of Louisiana. 
A session of Congress this week has been decided 
upon by Senator Morgan and Representative 8chenck, 
who were empowered to act in the matter. The un¬ 
derstanding is, that no general legislative business 
will he transacted. Nothing will be done, it is 
thought, except to make provision for another 
recess. 
General Banlos Acosta, the Columbian Minister, 
aud the Secretary of Legation, Mr. Enquire Cortes, 
have been formally presented to the President. 
From the West. 
The Grand Encampment of Knights Templar of 
the United States convened in St. Louis last week. 
On Tuesday they paraded the streets, making a line 
display. Over thirty commanderies were in the pro¬ 
cession, representing nearly twenty states. A ban¬ 
quet was given them by the Commandery of the 
Knights Templar of Missouri, which was a brilliant 
affair. Not less than 3,000 persons, including ladies, 
were present. 
An expedition 8gainst the Indians is pushing for¬ 
ward. A Fort Dodge letter to the Leavenworth 
Conservative saysGen. Schnlly with the 7th 
cavalry crossed the Arkansas river on the 7th. He

of Wisconsin. They make themselves quite at home. 
The Oregon Legislature convened at Salem last 
week. There is a Democratic majority of four in 
the Senate, and of eleven in the House. Notice was 
given that a bill would be introduced to repeal the 
resolution by wliic-h the fourteenth amendment to 
the constitution of the United Stares was adopted. 
The steamer Idaho, with a cargo of sugar, has been 
seized at San Francisco, for defrauding the revenue. 
A terrible conflagration haB been raging in Oregon 
for several days past. The fire covers an estimated 
area of 200 square miles ou both sides of the Colum¬ 
bia river between the month of Corolltz river and 
the junction of the Willamet river with the Colum¬ 
bia. It is feared that the towns of St. Helene and 
Astoria will be destroyed. The destruction of tim¬ 
ber and other property is immense. 
Capt. Graham and fifty men of the Tenth Colorado 
Cavalry, who were out scouting, while going into 
camp on the Big Sandy, twenty miles west of Chiv- 
ington’s old battlefield, were attacked by 100 IndiauB.

Indians had been driven twelve miles, losing 
eleven killed and a number of prisoners, which were 
captured. Capt. Graham lost nine horses, but 
there were no casualties among his men. 
From the South. 
Gov. Brownlow has issued a proclamation, 
which declares that there are armed bands of secret 
conspirators against the State of Tennessee, who 
have committed and who continue to commit out¬ 
rages on inoffensive citizens. It recites the act of 
the Legislature giving him the power to cail out the 
militia, and says:—“ In pursuance of this act, I call 
upon the loyal and patriotic white and colored peo¬ 
ple of every county in the State to proceed without 
delay and raise companies of loyal able-bodied men 
and report the same to me at Nashville.” Whether 
any of the companies, white or colored, so organ¬ 
ized will be actually called into the field, will de¬ 
pend entirely upon the conduct of the people them¬ 
selves in the several counties. 
Alarming reports of ravages by caterpillars are 
received from all parts of the cotton regions. They 
appeared 6ome weeks ago in Texas, Louisiana and 
Mississippi, and now they are devouring the grow¬ 
ing plant in Alabama, Florida, South Carolina and 
Georgia. The pest is also destrojing the cotton 
crop on the sea islands. A total failure of the cot¬ 
ton crop is predicted. The cotton on the planta¬ 
tions on the line of the Montgomery and Mobile 
Railroad is almost utterly destroyed. 
A fire at City .Point last, week destroyed the rail¬ 
road, four warehouses, six wharves, and the James 
River Hotel. The loss is $30,000. 
The investigation of the Military Committee of 
the Tennessee Legislature have developed the facts 
that between July 1, 1867, and July 1, 1868, 179 
murders were committed in the State, that only 
eleven of the murderers were tried, that ODly two 
were held for triaL and that not one was convicted.

imprisonment. 
It is said that a majority of the State Board of 
Registration in Louisiana have decided that under 
no circumstances whatever shall a Democrat be 
placed on any board of sopervi&ors. 
Further outrages against U 8. aulhorites attempt¬ 
ing to execute legal processes, are reported in 
Kentucky. An organization to prevent the execu¬ 
tion of all such processes is thought to exist in 
several counties. 
Latent Foreign Intelligence. 
The registration of voters for the Parliamentary 
election, which will commence about the 13th of 
November next., is being prosecuted with great dili¬ 
gence throughout the British IsleB. At many places 
women have formally demanded that their names he 
placed upon the lists of voters, on the ground that 
they possess the property qualifications prescribed 
by the Reform bill, and the legal aspects of the ques¬ 
tion as well as the extent of the movement have ex¬ 
cited much public interest on the snbjecL Over Bix 
thousand claimed the right to be registered in Man¬ 
chester alone, and their demands were urged in an 
able Epeech before the registered officials by Miss 
Lydia Beecher. After argument on both sides their 
claim was disallowed. The judges at Westminster 
have finally overruled the application on the ground 
that an amendment to the Reform bill proposed in 
the House of Commons by Mr. Mill, substituting the 
word person for man, was rejected, and that by this 
action the House clearly indicated the intent and 
purpose of the bill in this respect. 
Reverdy Johnson had his first interview with the 
Queen of England at Windsor Castle, the day after 
her return from the continent. Mr. Johnson was 
introduced by Lord Stanley and presented his cre¬ 
dentials. The Queen and Court left on the 14th for 
Scotland. 
The International Congress of Workingmen at 
Brussels brought their session to a clOEeon the 14th. 
They advise workingmen to oppose war, and in case 
of war, to abstain from following their trades. They 
also advise them to discountenance assassination 
and to use every effort to promote the education of 
the poor. 
War Is expected by the best informed at the capi¬ 
tals in Europe, and is expected to commence sud¬ 
denly before the close of the present year. King 
William has made a speech at Kiel, in which he says 
he sees no cause of war in Europe, but that if the 
Germans are compelled to fight, they will do it 
effectually. 
The Emperor Napoleon, the Empress and the 
Prince imperial have made a visit to Queen Isabella 
of Spain at 8t. Sebastian. 
A terrible explosion took place at a cartridge fac¬ 
tory in Metz on the 18th inst. Thirty persons were 
killed outright and eighty-two were badly injured. 
The building in which the explosion occurred was 
torn to pieces. 
A battle has been fought near Phillippopel be¬ 
tween the Turkish troops and Bulgarian insurgents, 
in which the latter were defeated. The Turkish 
loss was heavy. 
The Japanese war is still in progress. A great 
panic has broken out in the southern provinces, and 
the Mikado has been requested to resign, Sendai 
has captured and burned the strong fortress of 8ir- 
akawa, and Tosa has left the southern coalition. 
The uncle of t he present Mikado has been appoint ed 
M .kado by the northern princes, and has entered 
upon the duties of the office and issued a proclama¬ 
tion. Numerous engagements have taken place be- 
twen the nortben and southern troops, in which the 
northerners were completely victorious. 
Mr. Bancroft, the American Minister, and Prince 
riohcnlohe, the Minister of Foreign Affairs for Ba¬ 
varia, have formally exchanged the ratification of 
the treaty relative to citizenship. 
John Wilson Patten, member of Parliament for 
North Lancashire, has been appointed Secretary of 
State for Ireland, vice Earl Mayo, appointed Gov¬ 
ernor-General of India. 
The Hungarian Diet proposes to establish univer¬ 
sal religious toleration throughout the kingdom. 
Paris journals report that a general movement 
against the Queen has commenced in Spain, and that 
it is beaded by Gen. Prim and by the Generals who 
were recently exiled. Some accounts say that the 
rebels are moving upon Madrid in force. Several 
members of the Spanish Cabinet have resigned. 
Martial law has been proclaimed at Madrid.

Whalen Convicted. —The trial of Whalen closed 
at Ottawa, on the 15th inst., the jury rendering a 
verdict of guilty. The accused solemnly asserted 
his innocence, claiming that the evidence had been 
deliberately concocted to convict him, He was pro¬ 
ceeding to accuse the government of the illiberal 
and cruel treatment of Irishmen, when the Judge 
interrupted him, and said that in Canada all persons 
are treated alike before the law. He was sentenced 
to be executed Thursday, December 10th.

The Election in Maine. —The election for State 
officers and members of Congress in Maine took 
place last week, after a canvass or unusual vigor by 
both parties. The Republicans supported Governor 
Chamberlain for re - election, and the Democrats 
their candidate of last year, Hon. F. Pillsbury. The 
result was in favor of the former, by a majority of 
about 20,000. The Republicans elected aU their 
Congressmen, and gained three Senators in the Leg¬ 
islature. 
Hattibn News.— Last advices state that an am¬ 
nesty had been proclaimed in favor of all but the 
leaders in the late rebellion in Hayti. A priest had 
made the offer to surrender Miragonee to Salnave’s 
force. The Caeolas were concentrating their forces 
to arrest the new movement in favor of Salnave, It 
is probable that the whole south will return to Sal- 
nave should Ganaives and Cape Haytien fall, but 
fears are entertained that the north will secede and 
form an independent government.

Untvewsalist Con vention.—T he ge ■ oral conven¬

EIGHT HUNDRED MILES COMPLETED. 
Another hundred-mile post has been reached on 
the Union Pacific Railroad; not many times more 
can we repeat this report, which has come to us 
eight times within two years past, before the whole 
line to the Pacific ocean will be complete, and the 
longest railroad in the world will be in successful 
operation. Less than one year ago the achievement 
of five hundred miles was made the occasion for 
national congratulation that half a thousand miles of 
the national railroad had been "built; now three 
hundred miles have been added, and the Indian- 
summer days will see the track-layers at or beyond 
the point which murks nine hundred miles. Such 
rapidity of construction, unparalleled in the history 
of railroading, has net been attained at the expense 
of safety or permanence, as is testified by the gov¬ 
ernment commissioners appointed to examine and 
report upon the road, and by a multitude of intel¬ 
ligent eye-witnesses of the condition and working of 
the road. The Union Pacific Railroad has been 
frequently referred to as a national work. The 
extent of this nationality has just been made strik¬ 
ingly manifest by a report upon army transportation 
on the Plains, recently made by the United States 
Quartermaster-General. From this report, it ap¬ 
pears that the price paid the railroad for transporta¬ 
tion of aimy freight is only about one-fourth that 
paid for similar service by wagonB. The amount 
paid the railroad in 1867, for such transportation, 
was about $700,000, and the same amount of trans¬ 
portation by wagons at the contract price for that 
year, would have cost $2,625,536 00. In other words, 
the saviDg to the government by the railroad, in one 
year, with an average of 386 miles in operation, was 
almost two million dollars. General Sherman well 
said that government could better afford to build 
the road entirely at its own expense than to have it 
remain unbuilt. 
The Treasurer’s report shows the net earnings for 
the year ending June 30,1808, to have been over 
four million dollars. This, of course, was on way 
business alone, and gives only a hint of what the 
total traffic will be when the road shall be complete. 
So rapidly Is the road being built, that there now 
remains no doubt that the whole line to the Pacific 
will be finished next year. Further information 
concerning the road and its popular securities, will 
be found in another column.

Tub eastern markets are quiet. The N. Y. Commercial 
Advertiser of Saturday evening says“ The week closes on 
a very easy money market, the supply being unusually large 
and the rate ol interest low. The drain of currency to the 
West seems to have almost ceased, while there Is hut little 
demand as yet from the South. The market closed in good 
supply to call borrower at 8@5 per cent—chiefly at 4 per 
cent. The hank statement, though showing again In legal 
tenders, cannot be regarded as satisfactory, tbo loss of gold 
causing a reduction of over half a million in the surplus 
over the legal tenders." 
Western papers represent general trade to be rather dull, 
The Prairie Farmer, Chicago, of the I6tb inst., says“ The 
country (lemiiini for currency continues larger, principally 
on grain nccouut, which is still coming forward liberally. 
The local demand is act ive, hut generally readily met by the 
banks at ordinary rates for all No. 1 paper. Eastern ex¬ 
change is easy; sales between banks at 50 cts. oil *1,000. 
Counter rates steady at par selling, *1.50 per *1,000 discount 
buying. Government securities aTe all firm." 
The Chicago Republican is down on the flour dealers for 
reporting sales ou " p. t,," adding that It Is impossible to give 
a correct report of the condition and tone of the market when 
the price in withheld. It Is thought that dealers would bet¬ 
ter promote their own interests by discontinuing this mode 
of reporting sales altogether. 
The Western wool market Is quite active, and 8ales are
