He has a real and dangerous influence in directing national thought; yet he is absolutely without political or civil opinions. He has told me fifty useful public facts: yet never once succeeded in drawing the most obvious deductions. He is the list Peeper in a great governmental machine of Peepers. He examines the foreign journals for the Censor of the press. H 43 does this with the strangest innocence. I am certain he would be as harmless to it fly as Uncle Toby was. Familiar with sequestrations, trading in accusations of treason. the ruin, per haps, of many an honest man of letters, he as personally harmless as a clergyman. In the very essence of hie profession he is the ROTA of stupidity. I once demanded his opinion of Emile de Girardin.

[From the Boston Advertiser.] • Nnw Yonn,'Stmday, December 1861.—The despatches in the papers of Friday say that the disaster at Angola could not have been prevented by, any human agency. Some facts, however, came to the knowledge of your correspondent at Buffalo and elsewhere, which seem to prove that it might and should have been prevented. The "compromise" freight cars that run west from Boston are well known. It may not be known that.., there are passenger coaches built on the earn° principle, that run interchangeably on the New York Central Railroad, the Lake Shore and 'on some of the roads still further west. At Ro chester a sleeping car Is attached to the Albany day train, which runs to Cleveland and doubtless to Chicago. The cars that went over the em bankment are known to be "compromise" that is to say, their 'wheelie are -so, constructed that while they, can run on the narrowest track of the roads they connect with, they'can also cover 'a track thitt is an inch and a half .wider.' The gauge of the New York Central Railroad is four feet :eight • and a half Inches; the gauge of the Lake Shore Road is four feet ten inches. Tim compromise cat-wheels are made each three-eighths of an inch wider than usual, so that with the axletree tbey apart nine and a quarter inches. Thus while the flange will rib' inside the New York Central track, the tread or`part that rerrte on the' rail will" run on the Lake Shore track, but will not cover it by three quarters of an inch, and will also allow three quarters of au inch lateral median to the wheels. Just before ranching the spot where the accident occurred the train passed over an iron frog fora turn-out, and it is asserted publicly In Buffalo, by gentlemen who examined the track as soon as they could reach it, after the accident had occurred, that the rear car went off the track upon the instant of passing the frog. Now, then, it is believed that this three-fourths of an inch lateral motion.was sufficient to allow, the tiange of the broken wheel to strike the guard-rail, op posite the frog, by '.swinging one way, or by swinging the other way to strike the frog, and that this was - what threw the car off the track. If this conclusirM be correct,-the compromise or nine-and-a-quarter inch gauge car is responsible for the - disaster. ' • • - , In this connection it may be asked,wity should the inquest be held in Buffalo, 18 miles away? And why burn to ashes, before the inquest, the remaining car, which, up to Thursday, was in a condition to speak for itself ? The Scene Immeeirately After the Ac. eidetic, A correspondent of the Hartford Courant, writ ing from Angola, Doc, 19, says: . Your correspondent left the lett car on the ill-fated train - at; Cleveland, having 'et - one-laded to wait until the next train: eastward, and on that next train rumors were circulated concern an lay a;the—scene fourteen dead bodies; many of them not identrfled. -11- lit tlefurther on is,this bridge, from which the ears were precipitated. It:is an open planked strac ture, covered, with tin, about two hundred and fifty feet long, and about fifty feet abtive the Mill stream called "Sister Creek." Upon the ice below a large fire bad been built front the debris of the wreaed cars, casting. a flickering glare,npOn a row of sixteen ; blackened, chad bodies all traces of hnnianitY buth rre Od out of' them, pas; idenalication by-thoir nearest friends,,whlle a sickening' 'silent .of .

Upon the st.p • farther bank of . , the stream,where the car had tiurticid,'was a ixeitp of sniouldering rashes, nothing remainiug or the. car but the Iron wheela find , axles. ,Senae .25 or 80 peneons were buaily engaged , hero, carefully covering the ashes and taking out the hist vestige of humanity remaining there. Hero and there , men were carrying littersfor the wounded, and coffins for the dead: Below' the bridge where the second car fell, was a scene of indescribable anguish. Tho shrieks of the wounded and -the dying chilled the blood with horror. All that could, be was done to care for and relieve the distress of the suffering; but the unavoidable terrors of the scene are never to be forgotten by those who witnessed it. The houses near the scene of the disaster' were filled with the woundeiland dying. I ...The train was about two hours late, and was undoubtedly running , rapidly , to make up time. The rear of the last car , described a quarter cir cle in the air, striking with tremendous force upon the opposite bank anti lying at an angle of forty-4lve degrees, thus throwing the passengers upon the stove at the lower end - of the car, and precipitating the other stove , upon them. The car immediately took fire and burned so rapidly that .out .of :the crowd which filled it, but three are known to have escaped, the flames were so fierce that the in mates were necessarily abandoned' to their fate. The second car was thrown , upon the other side of the bridge, further down the stream, and also took fire, but the flames were Boon. extinguished. ,It is hard to imagine a place where a railway Oc cident would be more - certainly fatal than in the locality where this occurred- A lobk trona the bridge, unprotected by a wall'or railing, is sulli ciently startling, withont the . knowledge of this fearful accident. , - . , , , - , i ' A Ilan Railed on , the Railroad at Cold Spring....
