ILLV U ill 1U1 UIU U111UU. Platte Bridge Burnt by ""Secession Soldiers. SIXTFFX.. KILLED AXD SIXTY ... WOUNDED. . ' St. Jc. ra, Moi Sept. 4. The passenger train corning to this city . over toe Hannibal fcnd M. Joseph rail - road while running at tLe rate of thirty ' . pve miles per hour, was precipitated into 'Platte river, about 12 o'clock Tuesday . Biht. causing a terrible slaughter of " men,' women and children. The bridge was. burned by prowling assassins about five o'clock, but no warning was given to . those havincr chanre of the train. It is ' ns yet impossible to obtain a complete list cf the wounded. Uut of 'Jj passen- ' rers lut 4 or o escaped unharmed. Tic train sent out for the dead and wounded, on their return to this city, found a bridge just fired which they were compelled to stop and extinguisn. There are not less than sixty wounded men, with broken arms, broken limbs . and bruued and crushed bodies are be ing assisted to houses where they are re ceiving the best medical attendance. A special train was sent to the bridge and brouffht in the killed and wounded. When found, the engineer was discov cred.at his post, with his hand upon the steam guage in the act of whistling down the breaks. li saw the danger, but too . late to. save his precious freight. The barrage roaster, who saw that the struc turewas down, leaped from the flying train a height of thirty feet, and escaped '; Though badly bruised, he walked to the city, a distance of ten miles, and give no tice of the accident. Ayounz couple, just married, en route .for their home in Kansas, were conver sing together at the moment of the fear ful. plunge, in bright anticipation of a safe journey, and in a moment after, she was a widow, wounded and helpless in the general wreck. Upon receipt of the news, many of the physicians in the city immediately repair ed to the scene of disaster, to render as . sislance to the wounded, all of which were brought to this city and kindly car ed for. . From what we can learn the bridge was burned about five o'clock Tuesday even iugt by a party of men, who went delib erately to work about it, and the rocks on the side of piers show that they were opposed to great heat. .Mr. Hewson, one of the passengers who escaped, describes the appearance of the wreck as terrible, and the casual ty would no doubt have been greater had . it not been for the presence of mind of one of the wounded passengers. Seeing the woodwork of the cars taking fire from the engine, he ran into the river, with his hat and succeeded in extinguishing the flames, which were making a rapid headway, and would soon have enveloped the whole mass of broken timbers in a general conflagration, and most of the wounded beneath it would have perished. Among those who died after reach ing the city was an infant about one year old, and its mother was badly cut up and bruised. . Col. Coppock. of Iowa, among the kil led, was Colonel of the Kansas Second. , The news cf the disaster and outrage, together with the arrival of the killed and wounded, cast a gloom over the city, and we heard but one feeling expressed, and that was entire, condemnation of the henious crime, and that summary justice should be meted out to the authors.

The following is the official report of the Halteras Inlet affair : To the Secretary of the J"avy I have to inform you that we have been eminently successful; all that could be wished by the most hopeful has been ac complished. We are taking on board the Minnesota the officers and men, to the number of 615, who surrendered af ter a bombardment from the fleet during a portion of two days. After londing the prisoners at New York, I shall return to Hampton. S H Strikgman. ' Commanding Blockading squadron. The articles of capitulation agreed to between Commodore Stringham, Gener al Butler, and Samuel Barron, command . ing the naval force of the Confederate States navy, Col. Martin and Major An drews, commanding the land forces at Fort Hatteras, stipulated that the forces under the said Barron, Martin and An drews and all munitions, arms, men and property, be unconditionally surrendered to the government of the United States in terms of full capitulation, and that the officers; and men shall receive the treat ment of prisoners of war. Another official account says the expe dition to Hatteras Inlet resulted in a sig nal victory over the rebels. We captur ed two forts, twenty-five cannon, one thou sand stand of arms, and seven hundred and fifteen prisoners, among whom are Capt. Samuel Barron, Lieut. Sharpe and Dr. Brown, late of the U. S. N., and . Maj. Andrews, late of the U.S. A. The loss ca their side was not learned; but 5 are known to have been killed, and a cumber wounded, many of whom were carried away. Lieut Murdock, late of the U. S. N., is among the number, with the loss of an arm? We have no casualty of donse . queries Three hundred men were land- ed amid a heavy surf, when the men-of-war hauled in and commenced the can- noriade 'at 10:15, A. M., on the 28th. and kept it up at intervals all day, and ' recommenced on the 29ih with increased effort. The enemy attempted to land about 1, ' 500 men at the fort, but were driven back. At 11:30 they displayed a white ttg and Eurrendered at discretion. . ' ' ' Washington, Sept. 2. ' A gentleman connected with the ex pedition says the forces were landed and ' drawn up in line on the beach, when it .was found that there were only 319men une'er Col. Max Weber of the Twenti eth New. York. At this time the wind raised a little, and it was found impossi lle to land more troops. They proceed- ed up the beech, capturing one brass field piece and one horse. The force then ad vanced to Ft. Clark, which had been evacuated, but were compelled to retire, owing to the shells of the fleet falling therein, and marched back to the place of landing, and there bivoucked for the night. Early next morning they return ed, and the fleet commenced bombarding the second Fort, which wa called Hat teras, which soon afterwards displayed the white flag. When the fort was en tered by our troops, our officers were conducted to the tent of Commodore Bar ron, who was in command of the forces. The Commodore placed in the hands of Lieut Wigel the following proposition, which was immediately carried to Gen. Butler: Flag officer Samuel Barron, C. S. A. offers to surrender Fort Hatteras, with all the arms and munitions cf war; the officers to be allowed to go out with side arms, and the men without arms to re tire. Signed Sam'lBarrox. "Commanding Naval Defenses of Vir ginia and North Carolina. "Fort Hatteras, Aug. 29." The following reply was dispatched by Capt. Crosby, U. S. N., and Lieut. Wie- gel. "Gen. B. F. Butler, Maj. Gen. Com manding U. S. A., in reply to the com munication of Samuel Barron, comman ding the forces at Fort Hattera3, cannot admit the proposed terms. The terms offered are .these : Full capitulation cf the officers and men, to be treated as pris oners of war ; no other tenns admissable Commanding officers to meet on board of the Flag ship Minnesota, to arraDge details." On the reception of this, the comman der called a council of war, of his field officers, and accepted the terms offered, and proceeeed te the flag ship to arrange details. After which the prisoners were placed on board the flag ship, and the stars and stripes hoisted. The official accounts of Gen. Butler gives very minute '-particulars of the ex pedition and engagement, but presents no new features. He says rort Hatter as mounted ten guns, and four unmount ed ; also, one large 10 inch columbiad readyfor mounting. The position of the ortis an exceedingly strong one, nearly surrounded on all sides by water, and on ly to be approached by a march of 500 yards circuitously over a long neck of sand, within a half musket range, and over a causeway only a few feet in width which was commanded by two thirty-two pounders, loaded with grape and canis ter. Fort Clark, which is about 700 yards northerly, is a square redoubt, mounting five guns and two six pounders. The en emy had spiked these guns, but in a very ineffectual manner, upon abandoning the fort the day before. Gen. Butler says: "On consultation with Flag officer Stringham and Com mander Stringham, I determined to leave troops and hold the forts because of the strength of the fortifications its impor tance and because if again in possess ion of the enemy, with a sufficient arma ment, of the difficulty of recapturing it. The importance of the point cannot be overrated. From there, the whole coast of Virginia and North Carolina, from Norfolk to Cape Lookout, is within our reach by light draught vessels, which can not possibly live at sea during the winter months. From it, offensive operations may be made upon the whole coast of North Carolina to Bogne Inlet, extend ing many miles inland, to Washington, Newbern and Beaufort. In the language of the Chief Engi neer of the rebels, "it is the key of the Albemarle. In my judgment, it is a station second only in importance to For tress Monroe. On this coast is a depot for coaling and supplies for the blockaa' ing squadron. It is invaluable as a har bor for our coasting trade, or inlet from V inter storm, or from pirates. By hold ing it Hatteras Light may again send forth a cheering ray to the stormbeaten mariner. The remainder of Gen. Butler's re port is taken up in making honorable mention of the officers and men under him, who distinguished themselves. St. Louis, Sept. 3. There is considerable excitement to night in consequence of a dispatch just received from Fairmount, Marion county to the Governor, stating that a large num ber of secessionists have risen in the back country, and are marching on the town to burn aLd tear up the railroad track, lne drums are sounding to arms, and streets are crowded with people. The Governor is dispatching the Home Guard and vol unteer citizens to Fairmount. On Sunday evening the 1st inst.. the bels made a dash on the pickets of Jim Lane's force at Ft. Scott, drove them in and captured sixty mules. On Monday morning Lane marched with his whole command, 2,500 to attack Rains. The people of southern Kansas are flocking to join Lane. Leavixwoetu, Sept. 6. Advices from Ft. Scott state Lane re turned to that Fort without giving bat tle, as the enemy were in fcrce and strong ly posted. On Tuesday there was much shirmishing in the neighborhood and a battle was probable. Excitement exists all along the border of Kansas and Missouri. Pickets estab lished at Weston Ferry were fired on last night from the Missouri shore. Barclay Coppoc and Fording, two vic tims of the railroad accident near Saint Joseph, were burriedhere yesterday with millitary honors. They were on their way to join Montgomery's regiment at Fort Scott. Coppoc was one of John Brown's men. Reports from Atchison state that Union men were being driven from Winthrop, on the opposite bank of the river, and an attack on Atchison threatened. New Yobk, Sept. 2. Surveyor Andrews yesterday seized 20 vessels owned wholly or in part by rebels including eight ships and seven barks. Others will be seized to-day. The val ue of the vessels seized is over $2,000, 000. Ltdianatoli, Sept. 2. A Fight took place yesterdiy at Boone Court House, Virginia, between the reb els and three companies of Federal troops which resulted in the route of the rebels, with a los3 of thirty killed and a large number wounded, and forty prisoners. On our sider six wounded. j From the I'yily ICcbrafekianJof Tusday. Our news from F. Joseph this morn ing is of a mere cheering character. The telegraph operator at Kansas Ciy has intelligence that the Hannibal rail read is open to Osmar, fifty miles east ( r St Jo.ph, and at that point there are 000 Federal troops awaiting remfcr ments, so as to march on St. Joseph, . i capture the gang of rebels in their ntst. From Osrnar an express is running ' Kansas City, and the advance and cu: tration of the troops at Oniar has I so lapid and conducted with such a J., rable secresy, that none but' the staunch est. Union men are aware of their pres ence. In ti e course of a day or two the telegraphic reports will be receive by way of Osmar. The Leavenworth Conservative cf yes terday, pullisqes a statement that troops are on the march to reinforce Lane ; and in confirmation of this fact the operator at Kansas City, by means of a courier, learns that 8,000 troops are on the march for Kansas, from the western terminus of the Pacific railroad, with the intention of cutting off the communication betwen th South and the rebels in St. Joseph, re inforcing Lane and assisting him in crush ing Rains, and then operating with the troops at Osmar, in the capture cf the rebel forces at St. Jcseph. Aside from this, troops in consicerable numbers are heard of in various localities ; but their movements are so rapid and secret that little can be learned respecting them. Measures seem to have been adopted to prevent intelligence of their presence traveling in advance of them, and their plan is evidently to corner the whole force at St. Joseph, and by their capture and execution, destroy with ontf blow, re bellion in that part of the State. St. Louis, Sept. 2. The Democrat has advices direct from Gen. Thompson's camp, at Benton., Scott county, to the effect that all the rebels heavy baggaga at that and other points is being hastily removed to New Madrid, and that Thompson's and Hardee's forcos would attempt to effect a junc tion and fall back on Sykestown, the terminus of the Cairo and Fulton railroad, whero it is supposed tbey would make a stand and give Gen. Prentiss battle. The combined strength of Thompson. Har dee and Pillow's forces, are estimated at 80, 000. LouTsvriXE, Sept. 3. Dispatches from the South report the death of J eff. Davis. Flags are at half mast through out the entire South. ' Washington, Sept. 3: 12 M. It is currently reported in this city that Jeff. Davis, President of the Southern Confederacy, is dead. A rumor has it that he was shot by a party of federals whilo out scouting. Other and more credible reports state that ho died from a disease contracted in the rebel camp. It is certain some heavy affliction has be fallen the rebels, a3 their flags can be seen, with the aid of a glass, flying at half mast, from their staff in their encampment near Ar lington. Minute guns were also fired by their artillery early this morning. Philadelphia, Sept. 3. The Richmond Enquirer of the 23th Aug., publishes a letter from Fernandico, Florida, dated the 21st which has been received at Savannah, Gi., saying that the crew of the Jeff. Davis Iiad arrived there, the vessel hav ing been wrecked on the bar, while trying to get into St. Augustine, Florida. MONTPELIER, VT.,Sept. 3. At the State election, to-day, party lines were entirely broken up. Holbrook wiis sup ported by Republicans and Liberal Democrats Smally wa3 supported by straight Democrats and Tracv bv the Union party. Returns from t 27 tovn3 show Holbrook greatly ahead. Jefferson, City, Sept. 3 Later intelligence from Lexington confirms the safety of that place and the withdrawal o the rebels. There is much dissatisfaction in McCul loch's armv. He is in Arkansas. This is re- liable. An expedition crossed into Calloway county last night for Columbia. St. Joseph, Sept. 0. An enjrine and tender arrived from Hanni bal at Osborne, 46 miles east of St. Joseph, some time yestcrdav. It is reported that U. S. troops have left St. Louis, via .North Mis souri Railroad, for the purpose of re-opening the Hannibal and St. Joseph Itailroad. Quincy, III., Sept. 5. A man just arrived from Shelbina, reports that there was a fight at that place yesterday, between Gen. Hurlbut's forces and some 12 or 1500 State troops, under Green. Hurl but retreated westward. Green has two cannon planted at S.ilt river, commanding the bridge, and intends raking any tram conveying sol dier3 that attempt to cross it. I ne tract is torn up in several places. Cairo. Sept. 5. As near as can be ascertained, there are 22,000 rebel troops in Southeast Missouri. The troops at Sikeston are reported to have left that j lacsj. It is alsa rumored that Pil low 13 leaving .New Madrid with his entire force. It is thought that the troops at Hick man, Ky., yestsrday, were Tennessee rebels Ft. Monroe, Sept. 4. A flaz of truce from Norfolk came iu this morning. They state that the North Carolina Confederates are terribly exasperated in con sequence of the recent vicrory. The floating battery Baid to have been towed to Sewall's Point, exists only in imag ination. Cape Girardeau, Sept. 5. Gen. Prcntes3' little army which leftlronton some days since arrived at Jackson, ten miles west of here, yesterday morning. Prentiss and staff are here. . No enemy was met during the march. The report "that Gen. Prentiss took 850 prisoners is therefore false. . A scout arrived from Hardee's camp last nijht and reported the rebel knew the exact time that Gen. Prentis3 left Ironton, and im mediately commenced retreatiu. Hardee was rapidly moving towards Arkan sas with 6 OOO. The enemy is reported to be strongly fortifying at Sikeston. Gen." Prentiss has been ordered to report immediately at St. Louis, and will coutiaue to act until his resignation is accepted . Accom panying the charges against him was a letter from Gen. Grant to Fremont offering to with draw them if Fremont thought the public good required it. They have been transmit ted to the War Department. Wabhington, Sept. 3.

The past week has been quite a stir ring cne in this region. There has been a constant train of wagons, horsemen and footmen passing through this place flee ing from Missouri and Kansas. Some of the most prominent and wealthy Uni on men of St. Joseph have been here the past week, having fled, not being able to e their families out of that place The conduct of Ihe 'rebels who have been in possession of St. Josph since the Fed eral troops were removed from that city, has been such as to alarm Union men, and embolden rebels in North Missouri, Kznsas, and Southern Nebraska. Re liable information being received, that large numbers of well armed rebels were between St. Joseph and the north line of Missouri mooving northward, and "clear ing out" Union men and property as they went, the people of this section of Neb raska, fully aware that the fate cf North Missouri was the fate of that portion of Nebraska situated north of ; the -Missouri line, issued the following handbill on Sun day last: TO THE LOYAL CITIZENS AND PA TRIOTS OF NEMAHA LAND DISTKICT.

We do know whereof we speak when we say that the Governor deserves the warmest thanks of our entire people for his earnest efforts to advance the gener al interest of the Territory, during his long and expensive visit at the National Capitol, undertaken for that purpose a lone. It is su&cient dow to say that he procured for the Regiment which carries with it the name of our Territory, and the hearts of our loyal people, a supply of clothing and equipments, so complete that our friends and relatives composing the regiment have been made more com fortable, and better prepared in respect to arms, &c, to pyeet the enemy than is any other sirpuar body of men in the Military department. Gov. Saunders came here lo live per manently. He feels as great an inter est in Nebraska as any of our citizen;. His practical ability, and influence with .

It is a well-known fact that while most of these scales have, after more or less trial, passed mainly out of use, Fairbanks' have gene steadily for ward, increasing in public favor year after year, and are now much more generally used than all others, not only in this country, but wherever American commerce has been carried.
