Platte Bridge Burnt by

' 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.

Six Hnndred and Fifteen Prisoners Taken.
Walhincton, Sept. 1.
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

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.

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

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

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

The Nebraska City News, with char
acteristic indecency undertakes to cast a
reflection upon Gov. Saunders for his re
cent absence from the Territory.
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

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.

show that they are the same as Fairbanks,' or like

showing the stronghold they have upon the public con

Latest advices from the frontier state
that 5,000 Indians are encamped on the
forks of the Republican, in Kansas, and
are committing all sorts of depredations
in that vicinity. Several families have
been murdered. The frequent occurrence
of murder on our frontier by merciless
Indians, demand that some immediate
steps be taken by Government for the
protection of pioneer settlers. Three
Companies of Cavalry have been accep
ted from this Territory, and by all means
now that we are deprived of the ser
vices of the Nebraska Regiment let ac
tive steps-be taken by the Governor to
have them stationed upon the frontier
to protect the homes and prevent further
slaughter of women and children by the
scalping knife of the reckless savages.
