Baltthobh, July 5th.?10 o'clock, a. m ?
Our city, to-day. is liter illy a city of grief,
mourning, and the wildest consternation. A
day m( I voicing has literal ly terminated in a
day whicb will long be remembered in Balti
more for one of the moat fearfu 1 disasters which
has ever occurred in thisoraoy other country.
Amid the greateet exoitement, and with the
usual drawback of the most contradictory re
ports, I hasten to give yen as correct an out
line of yesterday's tragedy as circumstances'
will permit.
Aocording to previous announcement, the
Native Americans of Baltimore held their eel
ebratien in honor of the day, in Byder's grove,
about nine miles from the city, and on the line
of the Susquehanna railroad. Everything
passed off in a pleasant and highly satisfac
tory way to the exdursionists, and soon after
five o'clock in the afternoon the whole com
pany took a special train of fourteen cars,
which had been provided for them, to return
to the city.
There were upwards of two thousand per
sons in the train?men, women and children,
of all ages and conditions in life, all in the
highest spirits, and all looking to the re?nnion
with friends and relatives at home with that
keenness of anticipation which is usually felt
by those with whom relaxation from business
is no ordinary occurrence. As the train swept
along with accelerating speed, the shouts, the
huzzas, and the merry laughter of the excur
sionists were heard far above the jarring noise
of the rapidly moving train, and the wild,
shrill shriek of the locomotive. But the scene
was soon changed?changed to the moaning
cries, the agonising shrieks, and frightful yells
of agony, from the wounded and the dying.
About half-past five o'clock, in the neigh
borhood of the Relay House, the excursion
train tame into collission with the five o clock
regular passenger train from Baltimore to
York, Pa., both trains at the time going at
tull speed ! The scene which ensued beggars
all description.
The three front oars of the excursion train,
with the locomotive and tender, were literally
crushed to pieces, hurling the dead and dying,
with portions of the wreck, on each side of the
track. From the most reliable information
which can be gathered up to this time, it is
believed that about thirty persons have been
killed; forty badly, and many of them fatally
wounded; and about fifty more or less injured
The killed already recognized are as fol
lows :

we*e killed instantly. The screens of toe
children, and the heart-rending shrieks and
groans of the weunded and dying, wffl never
be forgeiRen by the survivors.
The survivers, to the number of Marly, if
not vuite, three thousand, were compelled to
walk from the place where the collission took
place to the eity.
The scene at the railroad depot in Calvert
street, was terrible beyond description. Thou-"
sands remained in and ah :at the depot doting
the entire night, fathers and mothers,
brothers and sisters, husbands and wive?, anx
iously waiting to hear the fate of near and
dear ones, and dreading the worst. The weep
ing, wailing, and fearful cries, aa each suc
cessive dead body was brought in and recog
nised, were heart-rending in the extreme.
Some who were sitting together in the cars
were killed instantly. Others in the imme
diate vicinity escaped without injury.
Charles Holmead, clerk of Pairo A Nourge,
of Washington eity, was among the wonnded.
John B. Holmead, of Washington city, was
seriously injured internally.
FOURTH DISPATCH.
Baltimore, 1 o'clock, p. m.?It is now said
that this frightful accident must result in at
least forty deaths.
Madison Jeffers oannot live long?he is
dreadfully injared. Several more of the
wounded have been brought to the city. ?
Several physicians left the oity last evening
for the scene of disaster.
Dr Bouldin was in the train at the time of tLe
collision, and rendered most valuable aid to
the suffered.
Mr. Fulton, one of the editors of the Ameri
can, was in the cars. He was not injured.
John Scott, the conductor, still lives.
It is supposed that there were upwards of j
ten thousand persons at the celebration at Ry
der's Grove.
The number af wounded are now estimated
at seventy?some fatally and others slightly
injured.
The remains of young Mr. Corcoran will be
oonveyed to Washington this evening. Hi?
head is nearly severed from his body.

Honorable Mr. Wentworth must be held re

" Washington, with all its beauty, is a heart
lees, wicked place. It is one great gambling
den, where the shakes are offices, and the plav
era legislators. Everybody says that everybody
are ra-cals and knaves, and everybody acts as
if he believed what everybody says was true."
Some folks speak from observation and others
from experience. Doubtless, Mr. Wentworth
speaks for himself; for in these progressive
days he has shown no disposition to keep sta- I
tionary in Washington.

The Death of Thomas litehie.?The de
mite of few persons, indeed, could have nranted
the profound sensation is this community it
experienced yesterday, on learning ef the
death of this venerable gentlemen. Thoegh
he tame to this point, to reside, U late as the
opening of the administration of Mr. folk, he
was personally ae well known %y all hsfe of
all positions in life, as perhaps anj other man.
It was the fortune of the senior editor of the
Star to have been connected with the Wash
ington ZTnion from its establishment nnder
his (Mr. Ritchie*) auppicee, jntil he dispeeed
of it We therefore knew him well, being fa*
tniHar?perhape more *> thea any other per
son?with all the incidents of his private and
public life in that eventful time.
Ho came to Washington retnctantly, and
only under a solemn sense ef duty to the poli
tical principles of which he was so long em
phatically the standard-bearer. During the
session of Congress immediately prior to the
inauguration of Mr. Polk, there was a private
demonstration to that statesman, on the part
of some eighty Democratic members of both
Houses, to the effeot that the then conductor
of the organ should give place to some one
whose oourse on the Texas question particu
larly had not been such?as if contending un
der his lead thereafter?would stultify the wing
of the party whose principles and positions had
triumphed in Mr. Polk's election. We have
every reason to believe that the name of Mr.
Ritohie, as Mr. Blair's successor, was sug
gested by those in Congr^s immediately iden
tified with the fortnnee of Mr. Van Boren. At
any rate, it proved much more acceptable to
them than that of any one else. Mr. Polk au
thorised Cave Johnson, and, we believe, Aaron
V. Brown, to endeavor, through friends of
Mr. R. in the Virginia delegation, to negotiate
with him for his removal to Washington.
Their original effort failed, so great was his
indisposition to seem to be willing to supplant
anyone.
We were then writing regularly for his pa
per (the Richmond Enquirer) from this city,
and being apprised of the progress of that ne
gotiation, after its failure, ourself wrote him,
and induced Cave Johnson, and if we remem
ber correctly, General Thomas H. Bayly
again to do so also; which opened his eyes to
the fact that failure to accede to the re
quest ef tb^^pesident elect, would not and
could not In The existing condition of things
prevent a change in the conduct of the organ
of the Democratic party. This second effort
ended in the extraction of a promise from him
to visit Washington, then a very rare occur
rence in the history of his life. He fulfilled
it after Mr. Polk was installed, and his inter
views with that gentleman and Mr. Blair
ended in his purchase of the Globe establish
ment; still really greatly against his will, for
he mistrusted his abilities to mould his edito
rial capacities in his declining years, to the
demands and necessities of his new sphere.
He was a man of almost incredible industry,
rising between ? and 10 a. m., usually; it was
bis habit to labor or study with intense avidity
until about 3 a.m., nightly; taking very little
exercise and eating and drinking sparingly
and simply We need say nothing here of the
t character of his politics and writings, which
are familliar to all. We may, however, not in
appropriately write that his character as a
man was misunderstood to a remarkable de
gree by those who did not know him personally.
In the whole course of our almost hourly, in
timate and confidential association with him
for so many years, we never heard Thomas
Ritchie open his lips against any nun?even
by way of complaint against enemies who
were notoriously hunting him with the ferocity
of blood-hounds, because he had been in some
measure a bar to the success of their schemes
of personal agrandizement. We had access
'? tiiin at all times ?ud uua?. Bu circumstan
ces, read most of his private correspondence
much too, received by him from leading men
in earlier times ; knew all the details of hi b
business affairs, as well as the biokerings,
jealousies, Ac., among his political friends, in
which he became so frequently involved as a
peace-maker and mutual adviser Yet we
never knew Thomas Ritohie to do a thing or
otter a sentiment of which either the Chrie
| tian or gentleman should in the least regret
The outside world think of him as a managing
politician, when in truth the remarkable
trait of his public oharacter was entire inca
pacity for politioal management, of which he
was as ignorant as a child.
His success was owing, then, to the firmness
of his adherence to fundamental principles,
his industry, energy, integrity, his power and
versatility as a writer, and to the total absence
of selfishness and injustice from his character.
His remarkable personal infiuenoe among the
Democratic politicians of his day, grew out of
the fact that all of them were well aware that
in dealing with them be was sure to do what
his conscience counselled to be rigid justice to
all. To the best of our knowledge, Mr Ritchie,
during the whole course of the Polk Adminis
tration, refrained from recommending a single
man for office. We knew him to refuse a great
many on the ground that, to do so, would be to
violate a principle and policy, to adherence to
which he attributed much ef his influence for
good in public affairs. When not overwhelmed
with labor, his chi^f employment was in class
ical reading, Virgil and the Bible, by the by,
being hardly ever a foot from his elbow in his
private study or office. Ha retained his re
markable health, strength and spirits until
within a few months of his death, being io
his hopes of his future, his love of the bright
and the beautiful, his fondness for joyous so
ciety, and the ardor of his devotion to hisprin
cipl es, family and freinds?a youth of twenty
five, rather than almost an octagenarian. Even
as late as last winter he was frequently seen
on Pennsylvania avenue in his invariable dress
costume, of white vest, thin pumps, and silk
socks and gloves, looking as happy as a youth
ful groom, and moving his scarcely-bent figure
gaily, and with the agility for which his per
sonal carriage was so remarkable. His coun
try will never possess a purer patriot; his fam
ily never again so devoted a friend.
Tho End of the Session ?It is conceived
to-day by more or less members of Congress,
that the Senate will probably re-consider their
action agreeing to terminate the session en the
4th proximo, owing to the presumed impossibil
ity of accomplishing the enactment of any
thing of importance but the general appro
priation bills before that time. ' '
We, however, conceive it barely possible
that they may do so. Nor do wo ooinoide in
the belief that if they will work in earnest,
much may not bo accomplished in both bouses.
There must be no more speeches for Buncombe,
however, during this aesrien, if uy suoh effort
be made.
The most important bills to be disposed of
are, doubtless, those to render more effiaient
the Army and Navy of the United States. The
prospect is, that unless they be properly legis
lated upon shortly, en long we shall have
both an army and navy of officers, without
men; those of the former who (had we men,)
T?ould bo forced to do all the duty, being th|
worst paid tsd ptherwise treated, under our
existing military and naval systems. Thefe

Public Lands for Railroads.?Many of the
friends of this policy are prepariag to do their
best to get through half a dotes railroad land
donating bills before the end of the seseion.
The probability is now, however, that the
eagerness of many gentlemen to get through
projects of the sort in which their afwa di?
tri are interested, will defeat the whole of
them, it being found impossible to concentrate
| a vote sufficiently powerful to carry any one
i of them, without pledges to pooh them all to a
triumphant issue. There are a few of fhefe
bills which should, doubtless, be passed; ae
there can be no questioning the fact that no
private speculation is involved in them; and,
further, that their enactment will increase the
value of public lands in their vicinity, so as to
make those remaining worth teiifold" to tlte
public treasury, in comparison with the value
of the whole without the construction of the
proposed improvements. A few of the mem
bers, by the by, are anxious for a final settle
ment of the whole question of the future dis
position of the public lands ere the session
ends. Xhe thing is utterly impossible, how*
ever.
The Paternity of the Homestead Bill ?
Finding in various papers contradictory state
ments upon this subjeot, most of them attrib
uting the authorship of the measure to the
Hon. Andrew Johnson, now Governor of Tenn.,
we have to say that quite four years before
that gentleman commenced his career of ear
nest and eloquent advoeacy of it, Felix Gran
dy McConnell, of Alabama, whose history and
sad end are well known, was in the habit of
urging it in season and out of season as an
amendment to nearly every public land bill
being considered in the ball His proposition
was one for granting " one hundred and sixty
acres of land, free of charge, to every head of
a family, whether man, maid, or widow.
Thus, to that unfortunate individual, is its
paternity justly attributable.
Naval General Court Martial.?To-morrow.
July 6 th, a Naval General Court Martial if to
convene at the Philadelphia Navy Yard for
the trial of Captain Samuel W. Downing.
The following officers compose the Court, viz :
Commodore Gregory, President; Commodore
Lavellette, Captains Mervine, Crabbe, Arm
strong, Paulding, Forrest, Conover, Molntodh,
and Montgomery; Commanders, Gautner. Cun
ningham, and Dupont, members; 0. S. X.
Peck, Esq , Judge Advocate.
It will be recollected that the conduct of
Captain Downing, in his alleged efforts to aid
the e&cape of Admiral Coe, after turning trai
tor to his country (in South America,) was se
verely commented on in the newspapers. We
therefore presame that the charges relate to
this affair.
Prize Money ? Kroomen, or native Africans,
on the coaaf nf Africa, especially near Monro
via, are mustered and employed temporarily,
and by direction of the Navy Department, on
National vessels, in labor involving exposure
to the sun, rain, Ac., and also as boatscrr wa.
to save the health of the sailors. Several of
them were on board a ship of war, when she
captured a slaver; and in the distribution cf
the price money after the condemnation of
the slaver, it was held that the Kroomen were
entitled to sha:e according to the grade in
which they had been mustered and were borne
on the roll.
