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.

\\"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.

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.
