the .Pacific Railroad. The editor of the News

The river is about two hun - cfred and fifty yards

The Pioneer locomotive had crossed the struc
ture safely, and was waiting on the other side
to-see the result of our attempt. There was
no fear of danger and no apprehension of peril.
• We slowly moved along the embankment,
and came on the bridge. The locomotive had
passed the first span. and had its forewheels
above the first pillar—beyond the abutment—
there being then, resting on the first span, the
locomotive, baggage car and two heavily
loaded passenger cars. The weight was
too much for the long. slender timbers which
_Supported the rails-and-the-ernormous-load
abOve. Suddenly we heard a horrid crash—
it rings in our ears now—and saw a movement
amongst those in the car in which we were
seated ; that there came crash—crash—crash
as each car came to the abutment, and took
the fatal plunge. The affair was but the work
of an instant. We were running slowly at the
time, and the successive crashes came on at
intervals of nearly a second. We ourself were
seated in the seventh car--there being three
behind us—and when we heard the horrid
sound that came up, as each car slowly and
deliberately took the leap, we hoped that our
car might stop before it reached the precipice.
But no ; it seethed thatthe spirit of ruin was
beneath, determinedly dragging each car to
the spot, wrenching it from its fastenings, and
hurling it to atoms beneath. Six cars teLl in
one mass, each on the other, and were shiver
ed into fragments. The seventh fell with its
lbrward end to the ground ; but the oilier end
rested on the top of the abutment. 'Those in it
were only bruised. The eighth and ninth cars
tumbled down the embankment before they
reached the abutment.
Such a wreck we never saw, and hope never
-again-to-see. ft --- was - one - u - ndistinguislialilti
mass of wooden beams, seats, iron wheels and
rods, from beneath which came up groans of
agony. Those who could crawled out of the .
ruin immediately, and either sought to relieve.
their own wounds or the wounds of their friends.
• Some wept tears of joy to find their friends
alive ; and others shuddered to find their
friends dead. The uninjured organized them
selves under the lead of Mr. Pride, the conduc
-7--for, and endeavored, by chopping, to extricate
those who were yet alive from the wreck.—
Here a beam was cut into to disengage a
broken arm ; there an iron axle was pried up
to relieve a mutilated leg. There was no
shriekin.• e' and screaming, though all beg g ed,
for the love of heaven, to be extricated how
some mass of iron or beam of wood, which
pinned them to the earth. All begged for wa- .
ter, drank it when it was brought, and pray
ed for more. There was hardly an entirely
uninjured man to be seen. Most of those who
had escaped had streams of blood flowing over
their faces from splinter wounds. Others
• limped and hobb!ed about, looking for their
friends. A board shanty was the only shelter
to be had, and that was soon filled with the
wounded, whose silent,' speechless agony was
enough to make the stoutest heart shudder.—
Immediately after the accident, the heavens
grew dark and black, as though the night had
come. Tne wind' shrieked front 'the ledfless
- trees ; the heavens were rent in twain, and
from the crevice gleamed the white lightning,
and the hoarse thunder bellowed its cruel mock
ings at the woe beneath. It seemed as if the
elements were' holding high carnival over the
scene of slaughter.
The St. Louis Republican suggests that the
devilish malice of some evil disposed persons
. may have been at-work to weaken the super
structure and thus to expose to the hazaid of
death the hundreds of valuable lives in the
- cars on• that day. This much is certain, that
Mr. O'Sullivan himself believed that the bridge
was perfectly safe, as he passed over it on a
locomotive the night previous.
Mr. O'Neal, the engineer, was left at Her
mann, very dangerously injured. Some of the
bodies of the dead were marked with unusual
-ul - t - 1 -able mut& t of the
an( terrible mutilations. Jae° tle survivors
inforais us that he saw two corpses with the
entrails torn cut by splinters. It is not yet
practicable to give a complete list of the wound
ed among so many passengers, and where few
escaped without a cut or contusion.
The Republican also notes an accident to the
train from the scene of the disaster for that
city, containing the dead and wounded. It
says :
On the way up, upon arriving at the bridge
across the creek known as St. John's, about
four miles above Washington, a portion of the
train was left behind to provide for contingen
cies in case the bridge might break down,
which was thought to be quite probable, the
creek being much swollen from the heavy
rains. The balance' of the train proceeded to
llerinalm, took on the survivors, the wounded,
.and the dead, and about two o'clock started on
its return. About five o'clock they reached
the bridge across St. John's Creek: Before
starting to cross, a number of the unhurt at
the disaster, (among whom was our informant,)
got out of the cars and walked across the
bridge ; afterwards, as sUtill as Ike lucumottve
started to cross, the whole structure gave way,
and the entire train of cars, containing the dead
and wounded-, and most of the survivors, -- was
left on the other side of the bridge.
Those who walked across got in the cars
which arrived last night, and proceeded im
mediately to the city. now soon the dead and
wounded may Le brought in, it is impossible
to conjecture. AVhen our informa IA left the
creek, there was no show for anything, to cross,
there being nu boats of any description at
band.- The wounded were all placed in one
car, and with the kind attentions of ptiv-Icians
and friends were doing as well as could be ex
pected. The dead (12.• in number) were all
boxed-up and placed in iaeparate car.
