FOLLIS.6 and sins of a neighbor
.\i :uj- :.c : .ghb-.r of tbe Gazette said some pret
ty ibiugs about ua yesterday, we may be
eicuscd for ehowiog up some of the inconsis
uucies and follies that he has lately been guilty
For several years ho has labored hard to
aroußO and cherish a religious warfare in the
o immunity, and to array Bcot against seot, and
oharoh against church. The Catholios were hie
special abhorrence; and to render them odious to
all Protestants, wa* his persistent aim. To some
extent he succeeded in that aim, and a party
was formed adopting proscription of Catholics
as one of it* cardinal principles, lie had then
helped tn raise a politic*! party to his lilting, and
last year he acted cordially with them. Bat lo !
a change suddenly oome over the spirit of bis
dream. After the party had been organized and
ha! acquired much strength he suddenly wheels
about and attache it fiercely, brands it with
every opprobrious epithet, and even abuses them
worne than ho does tbe democrats. He has thus
betrayed that anti-Catholic sentiment which he
labored for years to spread abroad. Now, if his
sudden-cb&rgo of nontiment some yoars ago,
when he came cut in support of Clay, gave rise
to a frirong suspicion of venality, what must bo
thought of Lis recent turn to the “rightabout.”
If Ur. Clay was to bo supported for the Presi
dency then, and editors might be convinced
with money, is doi Mr. Seward to bo supported
for that high cilice dow, and has money yet lost
it* potency V We don’t know whether it is so or
not, but certaiuly some potent motive has beon
at work upon our neighbor.
But one thing we do know, that no Democrat
U likely to bo decoyed into that sectional party
he is trying to form. That snob parties are
dangerous and to be deprecated, the editor of
the Gazette has himself frequently Baid in hifl
paper. We quote two paragraphs to prove this.
The first in from tho Gazette of July 0, 1848, and
reads thus :
“ For cur part, wo deprecate, as friends t« tho
Union, parties founded alotio on sectional issues,
and we know that a vast majority of the people
of the North deprecate them."
On tho loth of the Bame month and year he
said:
“ Prudent monnf all parties, at the North as
well as at the Bouth, depreoato tho formation of
sectional partied , and they are right. They are
to be deprecated They endanger the peaoe and
union ul the btales, and tho permanent prosper
ity and continued glory of tho ualioa."
Noxc tho Gazette is alriviug desperately to
form just such a sectional party aa bo and “a
vast majority of the peopic of the North depre
cated ”in 384 b. Would Buch a party have been
the States, and the permanenT°pY 8 i?pb Pi9y°
continued glory of the nation," then than now?
Surely not. if the Gazelle was right then, it
must be wrong now. If a “ vast majority of the
people of the North " agreed with him then, they
moat differ with him now. The people do not
change opinions eo often as the editor of the
Gazette. We oppose seotional parties on the
flame grounds dow ae he opposed them in 1848;
and we are confident that a “vast majority of
tho people of the North " agree with us on that
subject.
THE RAILROAD MASSACRE.
We give full reports of this deplorable affair,
from which twenty six persons havo already
lost their lives, and several more are not ex
pected to survive. Where tho fault lies it is
hardly proper to venture an opinion ; at least
until more evidence has been submitted, and the
verdict of the Coronor’s Jury published. The
cause of the accident reBtß,between Dr. Hannekan,
who is partially deaf, and the conductor of the
train According to Dr. Hannekan’s statement,
jie did net hear ike care at the time, and was
driving across the road at tho rate of two miles
an hour. the other hand, the oars were
backing at a rate of thirty miles an hour, when
there is a legislative enactment prohibiting a
faster speed than six miles per hour while in
the borough of Burlington—and they were at
that time within tho prescribed territory.
Thifl accident, it will be observed further
more, would have be?u avoided had there
been a doable traak, for then there would have
been no necessity to baok out of the way of
another train. Why the Camden and Amboy
road hae not eo provided itself is somewhat re
markable ; particularly as the Company are
protected from competition by a monopoly, and
their steok paying euob dividends as to keep it
out of market entirely.
Harper's Magazine for September is reoeived
by Gildenfenncy .v On and Miner & Co at their
depots, and it is one of the beet numbers we
have seen. Its “ Pictures of the Russians ”is
worth its wholo price. " What we Drink,” is
another good artiole

My Lobd Tomnoddy in Trouble.— Tho Mon
treal papers are giving Lord Bary, a young
sciouof the English arlstooraoy, a roasting for
insulting tbe passengers of a Canada steamer
by coming on board with a lewd woman, and
attempting to bring her to tbe table with tbe
rest of the ladies. It appears that my Lord is
Superintendent of Indian affairs, and for this
indisoretion is likely to lose his offioe. He has
written a letter denying most of the charges,
how truthfully remains to be seen.
Tbe Demooracy of Indiana held a mass con
vention at Indianapolis rn the 26th of August.
Upwards of 20,000 people wore present, and
speeches were made by CoL Carpenter, of Cov
ington, Ky., Hon. John Q. Davis, of Indiana,
and othere. Resolutions re-affirming the pno
ciploe of the Democratic party were enthusias
tically adoptod. It was the largest political
gathering ever held in Indianapolis.
A New Candidate.—The Tribune informs us
that the name of Passmore Williamson has
been suggested as tbe Republican candidate for
Canal Commissioner of this State. This will
aeoount for Mr. Rassell Errett’s sympathy reso
lution in tbe Allegheny Republican Convention.
It was tbe first move on the political chess
board.
Our political brethren do not suspect us, Mr.
Gazette. Nobody is fool coough to believe tho

Pittsburgh, August 31, 1866
To the Editors of the Morning Pott .
Qektlbmbb: The ominous inquiry “are you
reporters,” coupled with the announcement that
the Seoretary of the Allegheny Couoty Agricul
tural society would ooutiuue to furnish the press
with tho proceedings of tbe Board of Managers,
has, it woold appear, thrown tho oorpe of Lc-cal
Editors into a patriotic fear that the Society la
already organised into a seoretffolab—plotting
all manner of dire misoblef to tbe oommuoity.
While it la undoubtedly true that the Agricul
tural Society is itself a public body, open to all,
it is not so of tho “ Board of Managers,” which
ia a body clothed with speolflo powers and du
ties. And a little reflection will satisfy auy rea
sonable person that the managers themselvea sre
the fitter authority to dccido what is of public
interest in tbeir transaction. Tbe Seoretary baa
uniformly furnished a proper report to the press,
excepting two instances lately, when they have
beon supplied by the Local Editors, and in both
of which there were errors (one of them very
ludicrous). Now, the publio and the Booiety
seem to hold the Seoretary responsible for these
reports, and it is but reasonable that ho should
prepare them. Tbe matter of publishing tbe
transactions of the Society inyonr local column
remains for you to determine, but docs it not
seem like that farmers and others who feel in
terested in this important work will patronize
those papers that publish these proceedings, 1
trust that those papers whose Reporters have
notioed this matter will publish this in reply.
Respectfully yours,
O. P. BHIRAS,
Recording Secretary of tbe Board of Managers
of Allegheny County Agricultural Sooioty.
Latcit from the Kansu Soloai-»Hor«
lUgb Handed Proceedings.
The St. Loois Democrat has received from a
special correspondent at the Kansas Legislature
the following telegraphic despatch relative to
the proceedings of that interesting territory :
BHAWBBB Mission, Aag. 27—4 P. M.
*• Editor of the Democrat :—There has been a ,
great deal of excitement and disonssion io the
Legislature here for somo days past in regard to
the proposed Baok bill, and quite an angry feel
ing has been aroused thereby. On Satarday at
a late hour the bill was finally defeated.
The bill in regard to electing all territorial of
ficers by the present legislature has beoome a
law, and the two honsea are now in joint session
for the pnrpose of carrying out the elections.
The list of county officers to be filled under the
Thn / n ij n _d ‘ *, i* too long for insertion,
far to wli: k®*® been elected so
distriot, H. A. HuioiftelL - C W leB Grover. 2d
Brady.” B -
From this is will be seen that tho bill whereby
the Kansas Bolons enacted that all officers in the
Territory for tiu term of aix J fears ensuing should
be filled by the present Legislature baa beoome a
law, afid we are free to eay that a more infamous
invasion of the rights of any people, a more un
warranted assumption of powor not delegated,
was never perpetrated by any assembly that ever
eat in even revolutionary Franoe. Not oontent
with legislating themaelves into offios in viola
tion of the organio law of the Territory—not sat
isfied with denying to the inhabitants and oiti
zens of Kansas the constitutional rights of free
speeoh and free press—bat beyond and above
all this, they now quietly inform the people that
they, the Legislature, will now undertake to ap
point of their own free will Bnd aooord tho sher
iffs, constables, attorney, tax assessors and all
looal offioers, not for tho ooming year or until
an eleotion oan be held by the oitizens, bat for
six years from the present time.
The act is well worthy of a Know Nothing
Assembly and fraternise admirably with some
of the legislation whloh so infamonsty distin
guished the Know Nothings of Massaohnsetts
during the past session. Par nobiU fratrum
may be well epokeAof the two, and as they have
been alike in their lifetime so we have no doubt
they will be held in Bimilar sooroin the memory
of all patriotio freemen after they shall have
vanished from existenoe.
As Ambeioan to be Chib* Enoiheke or thb
Russian Navy.—ln the looal oolnmns of the
Albany Argus we find the following announce
ment :
“Mr. James C. Thompson, proprietor of the
extensive maohine works on Quay street, hasjre
ceived an offer to assume the chief engineer
ship of the Russian navy, and is now in Wash
ington making the neoessary arangementa with
the Russian minister. The offer is made for
threeyears at a salary of $6,000 per annum, with
house rent free, and has been made in oonse
qnenoe of the resignation of Mr. Chambers, a
Sootahman, who held that position for the last
eighteen years.
Mr. Thompson was, for five years, first engi
neer on the steamer Paoiflo, of the Collins line,
and but 1-eoently looated in this oity. He is a
mechanical genius of rapidly rising oelcbrity.
The offiee is a very lucrative one, aside from the
salary, Mr. Chambers having had a most boun
tiful dowry settled upon him every year, and
now retires immensely wealthy.

Terrible Accident on the Camden and
Amboy Railroad,
TWENTY ONE PERSONS KILLED l
FIFTY OB SIXTY PERSONS WOUNDED,
The train of oarß which loft Philadelphia, at
ten o’olook, consisting of five passenger cars,
baggage car and locomotive, bad reaohod Bur
lington just before XI o’clock. It then shopped,
waiting for the arrival of the 8 o’clock New
York train, from Jersey City, whieh passes at
tbie plaoe. Aftor waiting for fromjive to ten
minutes, and the the New York train not ap
pearing, the Philadelphia train went forward
slowly, watobing for the approaoh of tho down
ward train. It had gone forward aboot a mile
and a quarter, when the New York train oame
In sight. The whistle for the breaks and to re
verse tho engine was blown, and the Philadel
phia train oommenoed'baoking, and soon got
under rapid headway for Burlington again. Ia
this reverse movement, the passenger care,
usually plaoed behind and ooming after the lo
comotive, were now in front, and pushed for
ward by the locomotive. The engineer being
with the locomotive, of oourso had not the ad
vantage of seeing what was ahead of the back
ward going train. He had run bnt a quarter of
a mile, and a mile from Burlington, when the
firet passenger oar oame in collision with a light
pleasure wagon, driven by Dr. Hannekan, of
Columbus, N.J., who attempted to oross the
track in front of tho oars.
The wagon contained Dr. Hannek&n, his wife,
and two ohiidren. The former, it is said, is
bard of hearing, and by this infirmity caused an
aooident nearly similar, bat not bo fatal, near
Beverly, about a year ago. The dootor had seen
the oars pass as he was driving down the road,
and supposing all safe, neglected to keep a pro
per lookout. The first passenger oar struok tbo
two horses in the wagon, jnet as they were cross
ing the traok, killed them instantly, and throw
one thirty feet on one side of the traok, and the 1
other forty yards on the other aide. The wagon
was turned round and upset, none of its inmates
being injured, oxoept in slight bruises. The
front car, A, after striking tbo horses, ran for
ward, and off the traok, about one hundred
yards, and over a small embankment The se
cond oar, H, was thrown direct'y across tbo
track. The third oar (C) wont through car B
and stopped diagonally across tbo road, tbo
fourth car (D) followed and ran into C. The
fifth passenger oar and the baggage car stopped
without loading the track. The two latter
were not injured, but three of the other pas
senger oars wero knooked to pieoes, and many
of thoir oooupauts wero killed, wounded, aod
maimed.
D is impossible to desoribo the horrible Boeoe
that ensued. The cars wero piled upon each
other, and numbers of human beings were lying
amoog the ruins—some dead, some dying, some
shrieking from pain. Those saved in the train,
and the passengers on the down train, aided by
citizens of Burlington, who were quickly Inform
ed of the terrible accident, went to work to res
one the wounded and dying from the ruins As
soon as taken out they were conveyed to Bur
lington, where many private houses, as well as
Agnew's and Kelly's taverns, were thrown open
to the admission of the wounded, while the Ly
ceum was appropriated for the reception of the
dead. Somo bad been orushed to death instant
ly, leaving soaroely a trace to rocognize them by;
somo bad been torn limb from limb by the splin
ters, benohes and floors, aod their remains scat
tered in every direction. Many wero suffering
from crashed limbs, broken backs, and ii jured
and laoerated bodies. The scene was a heart*
sickening one; but, amid all its terrors, there
were noble instances of resignation, a self sacri
ficing spirit from tho sufferers, which honored
human naturo.
One gentleman, the Hon. Wm B. McClay, ex
member of Congress, from New York, who woe
severely injured, begged those who came to bie
nil to give their attention to others more dan
gerously wounded. Ono individual, with bis
foot crushed, refused to receive tbo aid of tbo
doctors till they had relieved tho sufferings of
others, who seemed more to require medical as
sistance.
It was nearly an hour boforo all tho dead and
wounded were extricated and placed in the hands
of porsoos ready to aid them. Eleven dead
bodies were taken out of the mips, and others
were 60 badly injured that they died as soon
as they got to tho hotel at Burlington. It is
supposed that from fifyr to sixty persons have
beon wounded, some seriously, and others only
slightly.
The following is a list of the killed and wound

As soon as the bodies were extricated, coffins
were procured for the dead Id whioh the'bodies
were placed and the names of the deceased mark
ed on the top. All baslness In the town was
suspended, and there was stream oj
persons going in and oot&iDg out of the Lyceum,
"who were enrioas to bg© the bodies, while the
houses in whioh the wounded had been plaoed
wore thronged. Each boat and train arriving
from Philadelphia brooght friends of those who
were, passengers on the ill*fated traio, all of
whom were seen seeking from house to house
for tidings of those who were near and dear
to them. The whole scene was terrible to wit
ness and will not soon bo forgotten.
One car contained only seven ladles, all of whom
were injured exoept one. Two gentlemen, in
one of tbo cars that was broken up, got out
safely, but in what way or manner they ooold
not toll—one of them reoolleots getting on the
outside of the oar and jumping upon the bank
of earth ; this Is all he knows of the frightful
and tragioal affair.
The detention of the New York train was caus
ed by the 7$ o’olook train from Nsw Brunswick
■ running off the traok near that plaoe. As soon
as the news of the melanoholy disaster reaohed
our city, a number of our physicians hastened
to the scone and rendered csential service to the
wounded; The physicians of Burlington and
vicinity were promptly on the ground, and aid
ed the sufferers by their attention and skilL
The wounded, dying and dead were removed, as
soon as they could be taken from the mass of
oars, to . number of *prlvate houses in the im
mediate neighborhood, whioh were freely thrown
open for tbeir reoeption.
We present below the statement of D. E. Gavit,
Esq , editor of tbo U. 3. Magazine, who was on
the train from Ncw-Ybrk, and who remained on
the groand during the day, assisting in the mel-

STATEMENT OF ME. QAVIT.
U. S. Hotel. Phila., Aagust 30th, 1866
(Jentlemen oj the Evening Bulletin :—Haying
left Now York, yesterday morning in tbo olght
o’clook, A. M. traia, and beiDg one-cfHbo first
to witness the effects of tho appaling and heart
rending disaster that ocourred near Burlington,
at yoar request, 1 trill attempt t(a_g«e a brief
description of the dreadful soune and endeavor
to aid io the investigations that are already tak
ing plaeo to rest the awful responsibility of
the otftuso of the acoident, on whom it *\just
iy ” belongs.
Our train, that is the one that was oomiog
sooth, which was before the acoident a little be
hind time, was detained about 16 minutes at
Prinoeton, by a “ hot ailc box," tho conductor
on oar arrival at Bordentown used the utmost
ditigeooe and the obange of looomotive was
made with despatch and we were under way
again in the shortest space of time. Jastbc
| fore arriving at Burlington, 1 was startled with
| two loud and thorp blows of tho steam whistle,
I which, aa 1 knew to be the signal to break up,
| considerably startled mo, as at tho time wo wera
| under full headway.
The moment the train stopped 1 was out, and
about one hundred yards ahead of us observed
the dreadful wreck. Thinking of ooaree as
eistanoo would be wanted, as from appearanoes
even at that distance, the conclusions woro that
many must be seriously injured, l hastened for
ward. Bat oh my God, I was in oowise pre
pared fpr the oxcraciating speotaolo that was im
mediately presented. Men, women and chil
dren, largo and small pieces of iron and other
metals, wood and the other materials of whioh
the cars wore composed; small articles of bag
gage, &0., &0-, wero crushed into one grand
conglomerate mass. Mangled forms of men
and women presented themselves on every side,
and even if ono ooald command his footings,
sufficiently to got to work, ho would hardly
know where to begin, from the urgent calls on
overy eido. At my arrival at tbo scene, the
parties who wero unhurt and tbo least injured,
were crawling up the bank. 000 of the first
objects that attracted my attention, was the
body of Mr. Howard, cut completoiy In two,
each leg and the trunk being some distance from
each other. Those who were uninjured, with a
number of passengers, who like myself, had
oome up from tho other train, sot to work with
a will, and in tees than half an hour; tbo bodies
| of most of tho wounded, dying aod dead wero
j placed on tbo bank on cither side of the road.
Throe or four died while lying hero, and some
without speaking or recovering consciousness
after being removed from the wreck.
Hound among the masses oould bo heard the
sobs and wailings of thoSo who had just recog
nized a dear friend or relotivo among the man
gled bodies —a wife over a husband, a daughter
over a mother, or nee versa Some ladies wero
almost frantic with excitement and distress, and
wero rapidiy running in every direction in search
of lost friends. As soon aa possible, a freight
traia was backed up from Burlington, and with
such conveniences of seats, doors, &0., os wo
oould procure from the wreck, we eet to work to
remove tho bodies of tbo dead aod thoso severely
injured (tho letter first) to BorUpgton. As 1
1 left to aid tho wounded on this train, my obscr
! vatlone wero mostly In Burlington after this
| time. The hotels and many private houses were
'! at onoo thrown open for tho reception of the
wounded —the citizens and ladies especially
turned out in immense numbers to reoder as
sistance; at one time there wero over twenty
ladies in the hkiHnf one of the hotels, making
bandages for the physicians, who wero already
In atlondanoo. The Frenoh Consul, Boron 8L
Andre, was still living, and suffering the most
intense agony. Some friend or rotative wore
with others endeavoring, by every means, to
allevioto hiß distress) but be expired in about an
boor after hie removal.
In the same rotfm lay Mr. Lukens, of your
oity, whoso ground wore terrible—at one time it
took five or six men to hold him on tho setteo,
although ho was perfectly unconscious at the
timo. 1 had observed him when first taken
from the mins; his faco was as black as my hat,
and 1 had given him np for dead, bnt the motion
of tho oars appeared to rovivo his respiration.
Although tho physiolaus decided he was beyond
human aid, still bo was alive at last aooounts.
Another of the severely injured was my friend,
tho Hon. Wm. B. Maolay. of Now York. I ro
oogniiod him when brought up to Burlington in
a wagon ; 1 bad him at onoe oonveyed to a room,
and after giving him a stimulant, and getting
him on the bed, he appeared to rovivo consider
ably. 1 will never forget tbe fortitude displayed
by Air. Maolay ; although severely wouoded on
the baok of bis bead, considerably orushed in
hiß side and ohest, and his legs ont and braised.
After being temporarily relieved, he requested
those aronnd him to aid others who wore more
injured, and
manlx ili5 t .°o{sort ß have been already full in re
gard to names, etc., It wonld be superfluous for
mo to reiterate them hero. One of the moot
horrid spectacles was In a small room, next
above the telegraph oflloe, where nine of the
bodies were plaoed side by side, after being re
moved from the oar. Oh I that I may never
again witness a parallel to the awful soenes of
yesterday. Among those aotive in their exer
tions to alleviate tho distress, was Bißhop Doane;
if we understood him rightly, a party of ladies
had left a friend’s honse to take the unfortunate
train ; two had beon brought baok injured and
the other, Mrs. Presoott, was missing; ho wao
using every effort to gain some tidings of her,
and I find by the reports, this morning, that his
worst fears were oonfirmed, and that she is
among the slaughtered victims. Oee of the most
providental esoapes that oame within my knowl
edge, was that of a gentleman, his wifo and two
infant ohildren, from this oity. Tho oars Uiey
were in was one of the worßt mashed up, but
strange to relate, although the seats aotnally
dropped in pieoes as they aroso from them, and
aeveral othere, almost immediately beside them,
were killed or mortally wounded, this whole
family esoaped with scarcely a soratoh.
In summing np the cause of this truly la
mentable affair I oan only oome to the oouolu
sion that from all the faots as presented on tho
spot, the great oanse of blame must rest on the
shoulders of the oonduotor of the up train.
His leaving Burlington within ten minntes of
the time,"and the train having the right of way,
was a pieoe of rashness reprehensible in the ex
treme. Again, the rate that the train was be
ing baoked was deoidedly wrong. Of oonrse the
engineer must have been terribly exalted when
he saw the danger of oolllsion with the down
train, and perhaps from his speed in baoking,
my life was preserved; bat still the principle
was wrong. Again, there was no warning given
at the oross road, and Dr. Hannegan having ob
served the train pass a few moments before,
thought all safe. By the wey, the bodies of
his horses, one of whioh was on eaoh side of
the track, was tho oanse of throwing the train
off the track.
My mind has not yet reeovered from the
awfnl soenes and exoitement, and you must
thereforefore exoose the imperfections in this
hasty statement. Yours truly,
D. E. GAVIT.

propxietots that hs bad suffered greatly from a severe and I
protracted attack of Fever and Ague, and was completely 1
restored to health by the use of the Liver Pllla alone* j
These Pills unquestionably possess great tonic properties,
and con be taken with decided advantage tor many diseases ;
requiring Invigorating remedies; bnt the Liver stand
1 pre-eminent as a means of restoring a disorganized liver to
healthy action; hence the great celebrity Ijiey hate attained.
The numerous formidable diseases arising from a diseased
Liver, which bo long baffled the skill of the most efrilnent
physicians of the United States, are now rendered easy of
care, thanks to the study and perseverance of the distin
guished physician whose name this great medicine bears-"
a name which will descend to posterity as one deserving of
gratitude. This invaluable medicine should always be
kept withln reach; and cn the appearance of the earliest
symptoms of diseased Liver, It can be safely and usefully
administered.
Purchasers will please be careful to ask for, and take none
but Dr. M'Lane’fl Liver Pills. There are other Pills, pur
porting to be Liver PUls, now before the public.
Dr. M’Lane’s genuine liver Pills, also his celebrated
Vermifuge, can now be had at all respectable Drug Stores
