Dreadful Railroad Accident. \ frightful accident occurred on the Pana- Kail road on the 6th inst., resulting in the wh'of 30 or 40 passengers and wounding . .",0 others. A corres]sondent who was . u-witness, sends us the followiug ac- Tt- MHor of the X. Y. Tribune : g IK Yesterday morning the passenger* . n \(.\v-York who left, that city, April 21, ' t '|,j s place for Panama in three separate ;, lS of cars. The first contained the mails, matter and the passengers baggage.— L 1 (lt | icr two were filled with passengers. Af . !'proceeding something more than half way ] mania, the engine of the freight train ran 'tfthc track in such a position that it could ij,. replaced without a good deal of delay. V", t |„. conductors of the passenger trains, very w 'v| v 1 think, determined to run back to As- Ci'u'wiiil. where they couM get something to cat, 'riiicii they could not do anywhere on the road. \\*e were within about two miles of this place, hen the terrible crash occurred. I was seat- I in one of the rear cars, and the first sensa | felt was a suddcujerk, and immediately I infill" ("6 of tlie window I could see the cars n| hiii each other until nine in number ,'i,. r e rnmpletely demolished. Every cur was , -' 0 ,oled with passengers, containing at least . \tv persons. At present it is impossible to '.jinutfe the number killed and wounded or .jr n-nnes. but when we consider that there not less than five hundred persons in the ~..r . that were sliivered to atoms, it must be a iw estimate to say that fifty were JviHed, and • least a hundred, a"d, perhaps, many more, j rt ,j]v wounded —and it seems almost mirncu- I,,H< thsit so many escaped with their lives. There are many opinions as to the cause of disaster and where the blame should rest. Ii nut think the conductors or engineer were to Illume. It was a defect the construction of fiie road at that place. It was at a small -iiL" and the rails were laid on timbers that rat, hiL'thway of the road, and there was no mine to keep them from spreading and letting • . ,-ars through, and we now see the result.— ] examined very critically to determine the trn- cau-e, and I feel certain that the above 8 the true cause, and any attempt to censure , r ;iv blame anywhere else will be unjust. I wish to speak (piite emphatically on this , tit, to rail the attention of the agents of read in New-York to the subject. While tiu'.v are endangering tlieir property and the .< of their ft Ilow-citizens in this way, they ull! r|it to know the cause. When timbers have lain in this climate a few years, they become much soaked with water in the rainy season iht tliev have aliout as much substance as so • itii-li water. 1 do not say that all their bridges i.\ made as this one was, for some certainly ,r. not, ami a little expense to tie the sleepers K'fther would save a good deal of trouble. Truly yours. WM. SHEW. I ~,1 ntrull, Mav 7, 1556. \\"YT'KKFN. INSTANCE OK SAGACITT. —We •r.-avs the Coin tubus (O.) Capital City ( Kari. of aa instance of sagacity )ir act iced by • ilephant attached to Herr Driesbach's \hi#2crie, whiih deserves record. Coming ~'itn Newark, Ohio, last Saturday, the ele • .nit'-keeper fell in a fit from his horse.— Tin- whole menagerie immediately came to a kit, and some members of the company went ' 'ward to pick up the man. Rut the ele-; j veil would not allow any person to approach tie senseless form of his keeper. Taking him with hi- trunk, softly, he would place hiin hi- Wse, hut finding that the man was! - -•It -'.-, he laid him on the ground, and kept • - rich over him. Many members of the me-1 rio tried to soothe the faithful elephant, who had now become furious at the supposed atii of his master, but to no purjiose, and! 're the man lay watched by the sagacious, - rnal. After laying in this condition for me time, a physician, who had been sent for, rived, and yet the elephant would allow no """ to apimiaeh. At length the keeper be ne fir ennsrious as to command the ele ! Hint to let tiie phv.-iciaii come near, aud the uiiuial was iku iie aud obediejit in a moment, 1 tin- fctvper was pcojicrly cared for—the phant. all the while, expressing the utmost (Bixiety for the sick man. ' ' StMVRt, (lie veteran conimamlcr cf the 'iil Slates military forces i the territory i Km,-;though required by the orders of War li 'partment to act against the Free I party, is said to lie at heart warmly at- I dud t> its principles. Under such circum- I 1, - n.isition must be a painful otic, but a oiuree of satisfaction to the jieoplc to I • 1 that the res{ionsible office of commander ; M hy owe wlro will not permit his forces I ■ n>ed for improper purj o-cs, if lie can I 'fit. The dispatches sent eastward by the 'SHiriaiis, attributing to CoL SUUHKT the ' of foolish threats against the juojvlc n.'tii'o. were all false. The troops have I '■ ''a'k to Fort Leavenworth so the St. ■ Gejmlilb -hii says, and will not be called 'Jnkss in a case of great emergency.— siiiif jiapcr says that "the execution of r >-i-ss in Lawrence is out of the tjnes ■ i-~t!iey defy all attempts of the kind."— ■ Waning of this is, that efforts to enforce •' the I*inker rurtian Ijcgislature have I .'"'/'direly abortive. This is an important *"'r a- showing that the great mass of 'T'' in that locality were opjwiscd to ■" laws, notwithstanding representatives 1 hi" Itody \vhi* h made them, professing " '" en elected in Lawrence by some se ■, Ired votes. Xo attempt has yet been ■ • enforce these " laws " any where in |>' 1 '" ll Lawrence. The object of the /"''"b at that particular point has been up that stronghold of the Free State ■ "' au-e jts existence has served as an I "of protection to the Free State sct- J over the territory. ■ ' MTION.—Nine years ago, a man died "'l*) and was buried in Middlesex, Yt., I . ' iig dc-irable to remove the corpse to ■ rwently, the body was disinterred,and ■ •l in t become perfect stone, as hard as ■ and not iu the least altered from the ITs mouiids. '"TO remarkable, the body of a girl !■ ' I S '.^ 0 ' was wholly consumed, only ,:|f ' principal bones remaining. ■ '^CD'ENT.—A mother and her y r '' s i ( led in the same house in Al ■ I 1 • w, ' r e < oulined on the same day, I'. ,v oac '' having a son, The babies B 1 1"H in the same cradle, but by some I ' nurses became confused, and nei- B B , t ; n, T the mothers could distinguish I habii-. n W tell which was the mo 1' 'he (laughter's child. The 11 Vdictrc-: about the matter PRESIDENTIAL.—The Washington Sentinel contains the following paragraph : " Ever since that time [the Ostcnd Confer ence] to the present, Franklin Pierce has insti gated and invented the most insidious and dis reputable attacks upon Mr. Buchanan, not on ly through Ins own mouth-piece, but even in his own conversations. We make this charge: that Gen. Pierce has told delegates to the Na tional Convention, that if he didaiot get the nomination himself, no Northern man should have it—clearly pointing to Mr. Buchanan, who, except Judge Douglas, is the only " Nor thern man " sjokeu of, and if report be true, the relations of the latter are greatly changed towards the Administration." It has been clear for a long time that the relations of the Administration to Mr. Buchan an were anything but friendly, and our advices from Washington indicate that the war upon him has been successful. The President and Judge Douglas have united their forces against him as a common enemy. The attempt will first be made to re-nominate Gen. Pierce : if that fails, Douglas will be tried : and if nei ther succeed, then a Southern candidate, pro bably Hunter, will be brought forward. The Democracy foci so sure of success in any event, that they discard availability as an essential qualification in a candidate.—.Y. Y. Times. A WASTE OF IRON. —The English are now engaged in embarkiug the shot and shell they have collected at Sevastopol. As to collect ing and removing these missiles, which gare sown broadcast in the very soil, like pebbles on the beach, for the space of several miles in length and two m'.les iu breadth, the task is hopeless of execution. Piles of shot have been formed iu every ravine, and stand there as a monument of the uselessuess of such efforts as have vet been made to gather the iron show ers which fell for eleven long months in front of Sevastopol. Every watercourse is full of iron—shell, shot, and splinters cf strange shapes abound in every ravine. The Russians will only have to collect what the Allies leave behind them to form large magazines of shot, but shell will not be so plentiful, as they were more sparingly used, and were generally dam aged, if they did not burst. Guns, too, are buried iu the earth, and peep out from the earthwork of overthrown batteries. It is cal culated that the Russians fired about 30,000 tuns of iron at the Allies. The English gave them about 11,000 tuus in return, and possi bly the French fired about 20.000 tuns ; so that between 00,000 and 70,000 "tuns weight of iron must be lying about on the plateau.
