New York, Oct. 25. A- - correspondent ofthe Post says a collision occurred this morn-ing at the crossing of the Erie Railroad andNorthern New Jersey Railroad, half a milewest of Bergen tunnel, between two heavyfreight trains, one on each road. Both engineswere smashed, and the cars generally damaged,but it is said twenty thousand dollars willcover the entire loss of both roads. Two pas-senger trains approached i this crossing lastevening, tho Erie train moving at a good speedwith biakes on, at the same time the New Jer-sey train was passing over. There is also thesame great danger of an accident at the Rack-ensac- k

junction, the least delay on tho part ofeither train rendering a collision almost cer-tain. : . .

New York, Oct. 25.

' "ful. , ..

A coirespondence between Secretary Seward and Provincial Governor Perry, is published, .in which the former responded to in-

quiries as to when the latter will cease to exercisethe functions of his office. Mr. Seward in reply says that Gov. Perry will continue to actuntil relieved by express order of the Presi-

dent.The World's correspondent says that ac

counts from all parts of the State indicate theelection of Wade Hampton as Governor ofSouth Carolina. As an evidence of , this hecitos the votes polled in Charleston, and in theelective district of Berkley composed of theparishes included in the Judicial District ofCharleston. Outside of the corporate limits oftho City of Charleston, the vote stands for Orr780, and for Hampton, 66l. In the parishesjust mentioned, the vote stands 224 for Hampton, and CI for Orr, leaving Gen. Hampton amajority of 40 votes. '

Gen. Howard, Commissioner of freedmen'saffairs, on the 18th, in an address, explanatoryof the object of the Freedmen's Bureau andhis present visit to the South, delivered in thepresence of Mayor Macbeth, the CommonCouncil and prominent citizens ot Charleston,makes some announcements of unoortance.in regard to the general state of hostile feelingtowards the Bureau iu Charleston. TheMayor said he had uo hope for the couulryuutil civil law ' was completely restored, andthat what the General said was the clamor ofpoliticians, but thatjie had generally found theplanters favorably Uisposea to tho continuanceOttlieUureau superintending tlip affairs. liehimself, as well as the President, was anxiousthat civil lawsljotila bo again untrammelled bythe military but tho negroes having lost thoprotection of their masters need some guarantee for the safety of their interests, and untilthe State allowed the freedmen to testify in thecourts he was free to sav that the Bureauwould continue. The President he statedwould be very chary of surrendering the Stateto civil law until a stop was put to the out-rages on the blacks. Trie General gave en-couraging replies to the planters who are seeking the restoration of ilieir property, and saidho hoped to soon seevholesooie laws, guar-anteeing the right! of freedmen passed by Legislature, and tue present uimculties betweenthe two races settled. He announced his pur-posdf- of

establishing courts consisting of oneofficer and two citizens, to take cognizance forthe present, of complaints for- - or against thecolored people.

Gen., Howard subsequently addressed thenegroes along the coast and then took his departure for the State capital to confer withGon. Perry.

LARGE SALE OF SHEEP.Three TIioiiKand Belonging; to the Es-

tate of the Late Col. F. II Hoppln, noldat Auction.

From the Springfield Journal, Oct. 20.In accordance with previous announcement,

the auction sale of about three thousand sheopand some other stock, belonging to the estateot the late Col. F. E. Hoppin, came oil' yester-- ,day at the family residence, about one milewest of Chatham, in this county. Tho wellknown reputation of the flock of Col. Jloppin,both as to size and shearing qualities, drew together two hundred persons, mostly farmersfrom this and the adjoining counties. It mustnot be understood that tho sheep sold yester-day wero tho best of tho "Hoppin Hock," forsuch is not the fact, but were good, desirablesheep, ranging from one to five years of age,and as a general thing in good condition.

At about 10 o'clock, a. m., Mr. John F.Pritchard commenced the sale of tho propertyby announcing the terms, which wero : "tnand a half - months credit, without interest,with good security."

LIST OF BUYERS AND PItlOES.The first lot offered, consisting of 250 weth-

ers of fair quality, but suffering in appearancefrom the late rain, were purchased br C. THoppin, of Talkington township, for $3.50 perUUilU. . . .

A lot of 200 lambs wero next sold for $3.50per head, and also another lot of 100 at $3.40per head, to the purchaser of the first lot. C.T. Iloppin, Esq. This sale was consideredvery fair for both parties. - .

The next lot put up consisted of 100 ewes,and were struck off at $4.95 per head to W.Prather of Buckhardt. E. i McCormell pur-chased 175 ewes of the same quality of thoabove, for $4. lb per hoad.

," The next.lot offered consisted pf about 1,500fine breeding ewes, in good condition, andwero disposed of as follows: '

One hundred to C. Richards, of Christiancounty, at $5 40 per head; 200 to 0. Hoppin,of Talkington, at $5. 10 per head; 100 to C.Richards at $5. 3Ti per hoad; 300 to C. T.Hoppin at 5.40 per hoad; 100 to tho same at$5.70 per head; 203 to V. W. Deweos, ofMorgan county, at $3.55 per head;" 350 to C.T. Hoppin at $5. 80 per head, and 100 to thesame at $5.85 per head.

There appeared to bo a large number pres.ont who wished to purchase, yet the biddingwas not so spirited as "might have boen expec-ted, cousidering the prospect for the the nextcrop of wool.

Tho hpmo farm of tho late Col. Hoppin, nowunder the management of A. Garland, Esq.,(son-in-la- w of tho deceased,) consists of elevenhundred acres, and is considered one of thofinest estates in Sangamon county, being wellwatered and capable ot being drained whennecessary, at small expense. Tho home resi-deuc- e

is large and palatial in appearance, sur-mounted- with an observatory, which com-mands a complote view of the home estate andoi we currounaing country, xne grounds areextensive and beautiful, probably unsurpassedby any iu tho country. Col. Hoppin, at thetime of his death, was the possessor of abouteight thousand sheep. Nino thousand sheepbelonging to Col. 11. aud A. M. Garland, Esq.,produced, al tho last shearing, about lortythousand pounds of wool, and that of an excel-lent quality. Twenty-fiv- o hundred lambs werorawed upon tho estate last year, probably aslargo a numbor as upon any othor estate in thocountry.

Very few persons who have not examinedthe statistics of Chatham are aware of thelarge number of sheep sheared annually, andbelonging to the residents of that township.Among tho many large owners we notice thonames of the following: Edward . McCou-ne- ll

sheared about 4,000 sheep the last year;Wm. Thayer about 2,500; Daniel Hoppiu4,000; Robert Watson 2,000; M. II. Moore1,500; Kara Barnes 1.000; Tan Deren & Magill2,000; Buck & Hoppin 2,500, and John C.BrewrinK 1,100. iiaa we space we couldeasily enlarge the list, but tho above is atifll- -cient to show that Chatham is one of the largestwooi-growm- g townsnips in tho fctat. Ourflying visit to Chatham yesterday will bo re-membered with pleasure for tho many kind at-tentions tendered us on that occasion.

ducement that can influence our business men

operates in fullest force to demand the earlycompletion of this truly magnificent enterprise.

The meeting on the 8th i3 mainly for the pur-

pose of ascertaining the present condition of

THE CIRCUIT JUDGESHIP. '

"Wlien we introduced the name of the Hon.W, H. Green to the people of this JudicialDistrict as an appropriate and available candi-

date for the Judgeship, and that gentleman com-

plied with the request served upon him to be-

come a candidate, signed by prominent Demo-

crats and Republicans alike, we supposed ourduty completed. . ,

"We did not, for a moment,imagine that politics Would enter into tho can-

vass. But we are forced to acknowledge our-

selves deceived. The Union, a paper pub-

lished in this city, by an association composedof Republicans, has assailed Mr. Green on ac-

count of his political principles, and its friendshave succeeded in inducing Col. Dougherty totake the field as a political opponent of Mr .G. for the Judgeship.

Unfortunately for the Union, Mr. Doughertyinhislttter accepting the nomination for theJudgeship, expressly and emphatically com-

bats th idea of making the contest a politicalone, and says : "Sad, indeed, must be the con-

dition of a people who- "rely for justice upon "a

political court." The italics are not ours, but'Mr. D.'s.

Mr. G.'s political sentiments may not, at thebeginning of the war,, nor now, jibe with thoseof the Union, nor our own. .Were he a can-

didate for political preferment this would be aproper subject for investigation and discussion ;

but, as a candidate for the Judgeship, tho onlyquestion relavent is whether he has the properlegal qualifications, and is a man of good moralcharacter. As an advocate and solicitor he hasfor years stood high in the estimation of thelegal fraternity in Southern Illinois. TheUnion has not, aeither can it dispute this fact.Nor can the Union assail his moral character,as it is beyond reproach.

We cannot see what force there is in thecharge that Mr. Green is or has been au Attor-ney for the L C. R. R. Co. Does the Unionmean to be understood that after he had re-

signed such position and taken the required bathof Judge, he would violate his recorded oath,and decide Cases in which that corporation fig- -Ured prejudicial to tlio law and ovklonco insuch cases ? If so, why not boldly say what itmeans? Covert attacks are, to say the least,cowardly."

The- - Union says that Col. Dougherty hasbattled against those same rebels that were re-

ceiving the sympathies and prayers of Mr.

Green. The Republicans should appoint acommittee to read the proofs of the Unionman's editorials, else he will not only "put hisfoot in it' ' but actually upset the political pot.Being a new man in the btate he is neitherqualified to judge of an Illinoisian's fitness foroffice, nor present ; the claims of his ' politicalfriends for position. Mr. Dougherty has doneno lighting since the Mexican war, unless his ef-

forts in 185S, when he took up arras for the old

Pub. Fudc, as against Douglas, can be calledfighting. Then, indeed, he fought against Mr.Green's friends, but Mr! G.'s friends whippedhim.

Mr. Green is our fellow-townsma- n. "We

know him to be a gentleman of fine educationand superior acquirements, and are in favor ofhis election over any man in the District, at leastuntil some reasonable charge of legal or moral

ncompetency is preferred, if not substantiated,against him. '

most daily fail to make connection. This weknow. to be untrue. ". At Columbus it has failed

nouncing to the public that passengers, bytaking the Memphis and Charleston Road,would be enabled to travel altogether ; throughslave territories, and avoid the annoyance ofthe Northern route, thus stimulating the preju-dice which culminated in war between thesections. "We have reason to believe that thesame evil genius which eo placarded the South,still lives, as we have seen his name among thelist of pardoned ones, but the events of thepast few years have evidently not had theeffect of decreasing his prejudice against theNorth.

They have favored Memphis at theexpense of other poiuts, and have received; inreturn nothing but foul-mouth- blander.

ILLINOIS SOUTHERN RAILROAD.

Tho call for a meeting on Nov. 8th of the people ofSouthern Illinois, interested in tho IllinoisSouthern Railroad, is of the first importance,and we look to see grow out of this unobtrusive beginning, measures which will result inthe success of one of the grandest undertak-ings which havo ever engaged tho energies ofpur people,.

r , . ., , r--

The' Illinois Southern Railroad was charteredsome years ago, ana tue wors upon n commenced. The line was surveyed, and in partgraded, when, for some reason or other, notaltogether apparent, all efforts ceased. Sincethat time affairs have ; remained in statuquo, and how the condition and plans of

tho Company are known to few, if any,of the people who are most interested in its undertaking. But men

gifted with shrewd and g intelligence,who look ahead and make smooth tho pathbefore the oncoming prosperity of the country,who would invito and aid, instead of forbidding

and hindering, the internal development of theland, have turred their attention to this enterprise naturally., They see that no undertakinginvolving an equal outlay of capital now calls

for prosecution to a successful completion

which will do so much'to fioilitato the com-

mercial , intercourse of the Northeast andSouthwest Look at it for a moment. Thereis already a broad gauge road from Now Yorkto Vincennes; let that road be extended toCairo, and from New York to Ceiro mer

chandise may be forwarded withoutin almost a direct line, and

more expeditiously, by days, than by any otherroute either now constructed or projected, orlikely to be projected. This road, "of whichCairo and New York would thus become thotermini, would defy all competition, and would

absorb all tho carrying trade between thewhole Southwestern section and the commercial centres of the East. Its capacity wouldbe the only limit to its business. Take a mapand look at the matter yourselves, and if tho

truth of what we have said is not demon-

strated, no words that we can add will be convincing. The considerations urged above aregeneral ones, and interest the whole commu-

nity. There are other considerations whichshould especially claim the serious attention ofall who-- live between' Vincennes and Cairothey have been well and correctly stated asfollows: , v v

"The route of the projected road betweenthese points, passes through the richest' part ofSouthern Illinois, in ait tno country along its,ine Indiaa. cora a"d ??CCI are extensively

r0WDi an0-- seve.-a- l counties producojthe finest wheat raised m the v est ..Thisroad will run through localities .which atpresent are further from river and railroad thanany other in the State of Illinois; the farmershave no means ot reaching a market except byhauling tho abundant products of tho rich soilin wagons drawn by oxen or horses alongrough dirt roads over distances varying from25 to 48 miles. - It needs nothing more than a.statement of the isolation of this region toshow tljat agriculture languishes, although theland is as rich as the alluvial soil cf the valleyof-- the Nile, and the counties are as thicklypopulated as any in the southern part ot theState. The steam car alone is now necessaryto develop this region. We believe it may bestated with confidence that the construction ofthis road Would increase the productiveness ofthe country along Its line, at least twenty fold,and this now neglected part of the Ohio - Val-ley would bo enabled to pay its just tribute tothe commerce of the world, enriching alikethe prod ucer and the carrier.

'ihis road would run over and near some ofthe richest coal measures in tho State, andwould pass near the vast deposit of iron andlead in llardin county, and the salt wells ofGallatin. and Saline. Near4the line of theroad, also, are several mineral springs of localcelebrity for tho possession of remarkable cura-tive qualities. It passes through the best graipgrowing and fruit raiding section of the State

Hut particularly does the project of buildingthis road commend itself to every one inter-

ested ia the prosperity of our city. The im

mense amount of lucrative business which itwould bring hither is beyoud estimate. Awide .district of most productive . countrywould be opened, of which Cairo would betho natural market. Beyond doubt itwould necessitate the immediate establishment of a line of first-cla- ss packets between

THE SPLEEN STILL OOZING.

A few days since we published an articlewritten in a spirit of vindictive jealousy towardthe Mobile & Ohio Railroad, the author ofwhich was the editor of the Memphis Bulletin,Wo then took occasion to hold up to the lightof reasoD and argument the fallacy and transpa-rency of the position taken by the Bulletin."We now see that the Smvthern Sentinel, a pa-

per published at Columbus, Mississippi, hassteered into the same eddy with tho Bulletin,and, although it does not attempt to cite tactsto fortify its position, endeavors by inuondw toweaken the public confidence in the officers ofthe M. & 0. R. R., and prejudice the minds ofthe people and traveling community againstsaid Road.

It matters not to either of these prints thatthe M. & 0. II. R., has been open scarcely amonth that it has struggled under great di8

advantages has been torn up during the latewar, and its rolling stock destroyed. No

The trouble which afflicts them, is, that aftergreat effort the M. iO.R.R., has been openedahead of all other competing lines, and in consequence it has now to suffer all the anathemasthat can be heaped upon it by the jaundicedongues of envious officials representing other

Roads, and the public press representing, notthe public interest, but narrow, contracted andselfish speculators.

"We will admit at tho start, that the M.; & O.

R. R. is not in first rate condition, but we haveit from unprejudiced men, who have traveledits entire length, that it is one hundred, percent better than any other Road in the South.The iron which forms the track is of the heaviest and best in use on any Road, and has"fished joints," rendering accidents from broken brideres or trestles next to imrtoasible.

Passengers Lave informed us (those who have- - Iv apaiu biieu laic, uiu uou uv luwivav iu uiusicfj- -

On two miles of tho Roadthere are a few rough places, but these arebeing made smooth by a large force of work.men. The time on the M. & O. R. R. is slowpurposely to avoid accidents, and until its con-

dition will safely warrant a faster table.Yet, notwithstanding, tho time from here toMobile by this Road fS from throe to four days

quicker than by boat, and from two to four

days to New Orleans.It is self-evide- nt that certain parties inter-

ested in diverting the trade and business of theM. t O. R. R. from its legitimate channels ardother disappointed favor seekers, are exor-

cising their brains to find some excuee for at-

tacking the management of that road. Theprincipal source of envy is Memphis. Thatcity because it cannot control, entirely, the road and its business. Not satisfiedthat the trains pf tho M. &. C. R. R. are running directly from Memphis down tho M.
