- FRIGHTFI3I. RAILWAY , ACCIDENT.
Philadelphia and .Builingten, N. 1.,. were
thrown into a state of excitement on 'Wednes
day last, by the occurrence Of a frightful ac
cident on the Camden and Amboy Railroad.
a mile•above Burlington. It appears that the
10 o'clock A. M. train from Philadelphia bad
reached,. Burlington in regular time. The
New York train which generally meets this
on the turnout between Beverly and Burling
, ton,'hadnot arrived. • After-waiting five min
utes, the Philadelphia cars started from,Bur.'
lington, but soon after met the New York
train, and the engineer immediately reversed ,
the engine and imeked up.
While running hack, the rear car came in
contact with a carriage at a. road-crossing,
which threw it off the track. The next car.
was thrown diagonally across the road, and
the third 'one ran with tall force into the midst',
of the -passengers, clear through the one stand
ing:on the track. The. loss of life was terri
ble. Seventeen persons were killed almostl
instantly, and with subsequent deaths, twenty
four is tie total;nuniber killed by the terrible
accident. A large number of others were
horribly mutilated, and the fatal list is probe . -
bly' not yet campleted. Several citizens, of
Philadelphia are;antong the - dead. ,
The scene after the accident occurred, it is
stated, beggared. all description. 'One of the
victims had his arm torn i eff in the most shock
ing manner. Another had the same limb torn
off and thrown some distance up the embank
ment. His legs were torn asunder, his heart
torn out and the viseral strewn along the
track for a considerable distance. One or:
two Others were buried in the sand, and others
were crushed to death between the sleepers,
One man had his,-scalp taken off, another had
his thighs broken., Several other's arms wore
broken, lacerated and-bruised most dreadfully.
Fatted the cars were completely destroyed.
They were filled with passengers, many of
whom were on their- return from summer
recreations. The cries of the wounded, the
agonizing groanstif the dying, are represen
ted as haying been heart-rending.
Th following is a list of the dead, by the

After the occurrence of the accident, the
most intense excitement existed in Burling
ton, while the Citizens of that place tendered,
every possible assistance, and manifested a
truly sympathizing and beneVolent spirit.—
Men, women and children were running to
and fro in every direction conveying medicines
and other articles for the, relief of the injured,
who, were quartered in at least one-third of
the hquses in the place. At Agnew's lintel
and at Kelly's, the scene presented to view
Was appalling. Almost every roem'containedz
a dead or dying man—surrounded: by the
physicians and a number of females, adminis7
tering to their wants.
Several of the victims were cut in two, and
others were horribly mangled. -
The gentleman whose carriage came in
collision with the cars, was Dr. Hannegan,
who resides near Burlington. He was also,
accompanied by a gentleman, as well as the l
two ladies—all of whom' escaped. The
car
riage, at the time of the collision, had just
touched the track. The rear car contained!
but a single pasienger. This, with another,
was thrown midway.across the track, andthuS
formed an impediment whiCh overthrew the
others. The accident occurred a little afteri
eleven o'clock. Dr. Hannegan, who drove the
carriage, Was hard of hearing. A lady whe,
.resides near the spot, saw the danger, and
called to Dr. a, but in vain, as he probablyi
did not .hear her. :
. .
'The total number of passengers in the train
was 155.
A legal investrgation will, we presume;
throw the responsibility of this appalling aft
fair upon the proper persons. In the mean
time we cannot refrain from expressing the
opinion that the Camden S; Amboy Railroad
Company, is open to censure in not having is
double track the whole length of their road.
Had the road possessed a double track in this
instance, the fearful accident, detailed above,
could never have happened. An instance of
carelessness in this ease, is exhibited in the ,
fact that while backing the train at a. rapid
rate, no signal man was stationed on the train,
who could by tapping the conductor's - bell,
have stopped the train upon the appearance
of danger. This oversight was uultardonable,
in view of the number of valuable lives jeoP
ardized by the possibility of an secident.+
There is too much recklessness 'in the man
agement of railroads in the United State's;
and the sooner 'we adopt ty French Mode of
managing railway matters the sooner will
confidence be establiabed in the traveling
community, in the safety "of isihrity traveLi—

yf Caroline Wall, wife of John Wall, on oath

:an Irishman, and a Roman Cat:Mlie, On the
evening of the 6th inst., abotit:s, o'clock, I
was going home ->flom ;the grocery of Mr.
Brown, on Tenth . and Marketstreets, Louis
l'. ville, passing down Eleventh street to Main;
wheal reached Main-street, ht Eleventh, I
heard the report of fire-arms, and looked up
Main where it came froin, and 'saw a man fall
i near iChapel street, and a grdat many shots
, ! were*ed in quick succession from the north
side Of Main street direct tow/irds Chapel.—
1
The man who was shot and fel J learned had
: jest come out of O'Connell's rocery, on the
corner of Main and Chapel, in company of a
• man; named Dougherty; Rhodes died in a fey
=Merits, as I learned there. ' There was no

very few peo

the shooting. 101)&4 was not disturbing any
one "when shot, that I know Of. I saw the
shot's fired from the windows df Quinn's row:
I think RhOdes had a carpet-bag in lti3 hand
wben shot. I did not know him, but *as in
formed on inquiry that his naine was Rhodes.
Dougherty Was also shot a niontent or two
after. .
There were a great many liiiiman in Quinn's
row; soine of whom were relations of my hus
band, and they were very doll together. For
some weeks previous to the ell:Clio:1 of 'the 6th
of August, 1855, they (not rthusbaq) were
preparing for a fight, and - pr , Cured and had
many arms, pistols, and guns and, of Satur
day: night before the election, 'I saw 'many of
thein with arms, and they had resolved, I heard
theill say 50,.t0 attack the pkicession, but it
turned out, as they afterwards keld my husband,
to be too numerous and so they let it pass,—
Thev had been led to believe'the procession
would be small by those who opposed the Know

the last election, and they said they were ready

11. t.” JunGE KANT:Tue. PeircEtt?—The able
rmuments of . Messrs. Meredith and Gilpin, the
counsel of Mr. Williainson, before the Supreme
court of Pennsylvania - upon the application
ti)r n writ al liabeaY Corpus, plicit. commenda-
ton, and the reasoning, as far as it gOO, is
Unexceptionable and unanswerable; but it
appears to the editors of the PhiladelOia
that there ism: important featureovhich
Vitas been, if not entirely overlooked, at least
Lilt incidentally, noticed. It refers to the ca.
lowance of the writ oC Habeas. CortitiS by
judge Kane at his chatWrs, not by the.Dis
triet Colift of the United States, but at a time
i •
lichen that Court was not in session, having
adjourned to a future day. Now by the se
pond clause of the . Judiciary Act pf Congress
of 1789, the power of the Judge so acting, is
ro.pres'sly limited to an inquiry into the cause
l f commitment, in cases aria-inn under pro
cess of the United States Courts. But the
'writ in this ease was allowed by Judge Kane,
not the Court ; so says the Judge himself,
•
land that this is the true state of the case is
!manifest by these considerations: The origi-
Ina! writ of Habeas• Corpus is dated July,lBth
)last, which was Wednesday. Now the pro
ceedings of Mr:Williamson, which gave rise
to the writ, did not occur until a tew minutes
before the hour fixed for the starting of the
steamboat, which'was five o'clock; Wednesday.
'I 'afternoon. The District Court of the United
States was not in session that afternoon, and
had not been that day. Nor,was it in session
the next slay, as a Cu uil, and therefore the
District Court could not have issued the writ
to bring the bodies bf the alleged slaves forth
with, on the 18th,.before the Hon. John K.
Kane, nor, could the. time for. the hearing be
fixed as it wes, for that next day, the 19th
July; at 3 ti . clock, P. M., by the CoUrt, be:
cause the Court had been adjourned to a later
day. The second', clause'ot the 14th section
of the judiciary net was made for the very
purpose of allowing the writ to issue ,when
the Court was not in session, when it was not
term time but in vacat ion, or between adjourn
ments,. Every lawyer knows this, and it was
well knoWn to Judge Kane, to District Attor
ney Van Dyke, and to the counsel of Wheeler.
The primarY petition of Wheeler is not to the
'contt, but to the Judge, and the writ itself di
rects the bodies Lobe brought before the Hon.
John K. Kane, et the room of the District
Court, "immediately, then and thiere to do,
submit to', and receive :whatsoever the said
Judge small then and there consider in that
betialf." The important question thus pre
sents itself whether a Federal Judge could, in
vacation,' or, what in legal effect is the same
thing, between adjournments, take cognizance"
on a Habeas Corpus of any kind of ,detainer,
or restraint, except on a commitment. And
upon such a question it seems to ns that no
person of ordinary intellect, whether lawyer or
civilian, eau entertain a doubt. - . Let this want
• of jurisdiction --this invasion of private rights
—this sti•etching. the la* and desecrating the
giant shield of the Habeas CorPus be first set
tied befi , re we enter upon the . argument of
the " very secondary considerations whether
Passmore Williamson ;committed an assault
or made,an evasive return. -1'

This , is the heaviest shipment of Fool ever,
made frein this P.egion in any one ,week, and
:shows conclusively that Coal is in donMMI in this
]legion at least. Prices remain firm, and the de=
mind for Coal, although not brisk, is good.
It is true the prices are low, but the present state
of the market requires cheap fuel:
A Writer in the last Mauch Chunk qt.c,f, finds
fault with the Rending Railroad for sot advan- I
cing freights, We would ask, is not h 00 a ton
transportation for 93 miles sufficientiy high for
all mirposes It would be a positive,
)11trage, if
theykvere to one cent more this year in
the present state of the trade. It will not bear
it. They thought differently in the Spring—but
like prudent managers consult their ti'ltin interests
and conform: to circumstances. The ;I.eltigh and
. other coroPattits will bavo to do the same.
Wo haie received a letter from Mes'sis. McClin
tock andMeknight of the Beaver Mea l tlow
tatin4 that. we have, in their estilettion, pub
agarbled.extracts" from Prof..tohnson's to.
port, tcg' s the ditparagement of their Coi4. Now, we
wish these gentlemen to ow - Wilt:ma that we could
not•eondense the whole book in a siuOe editorial.
Ilut we made a fair .and impartial extract of the
material trials on all the.speeimens oil Pennsylva
nia Anthracite!, and gave them in': he plainest
manner—toe plain, probably, to suit' the views of
many. There is no necessity of tatlidithing the
article sent,"because it would not alter the fads
one iota.
The disc:assions 'on this subject :;was, tie our
readers are aware; first provoked bYI some insin
uating remarks made in the Philadelphia Ledger,
and carried out by some qucstionsland dispara
ging comments which were made the Mauch
Chunk Gazette.
. •
Those questions we have answerO fully: and
thilso imiltuntiny remork . i of the Le4ger and these
dipparagini4 comment. of the writer in the Gazette,
we have not only shownlto be unfoOded, in fact,
but simply prevailing Hens, without truth or
consistency, which we have hitherto passed un-
noticed.
We do not pander to the interests Of individuals,
companies or places; but state thb faces is all
cases, let them be for or against. We cannot bo
intimidated or swerved from the : beaten track of
truth by any means
: whatever. What we have
said' on .this subject we can substantiate, and
rather. court a thorough investigation, than the
concealment of facts connected with the same, for
Our argimient will profit by such a Course. r.. '.
We have" also received rather .: a pert letter from
J. Anspach, Jr., of the Locust Mountain Coal &
Iron Co., complhining that we do that Company
injustice in our figures, which Make Conner's
Coal to contain one per cent. mote carbon than
that of the Locust Mountain Coal i iron Co.
We do 'not know by whom Conhor's Coal was
analyzed-L•it was' handed us by the gentleman
himself—and because we any "per order," Mr.
Anspaeli . 'Jr., takes umbrage and threaten! •us
with something, we don't know what, unless we.
make corrections, -But the only Correction that
we can make r is to remark,' that^j we think Mr.
Blake's analysis Of the Locust Met ntain Coal too
high, and that we Chilli have a coriec t analysis of
.the different Coal mode forthe bericfit of our read
ers in a. abort time. It certainty was a small
matter to complain, that we in ;copying the-re
ports of 'different men, only made:n difference of
one per teat, in the two different • analyses, when
we can show that not only the Mahaney Coal, but
that of all the other Regions differ in localities from
one to fifteen per cent. in the amount, of °Carbon
whip* they contain... ) .. .
We are at a loss to know alai Mr Auipaoh :
'means by charging as with, (as we find them,) in
publishing incorrect statements heretofore about
his Coal—we biro no knowlekieof having done
so—and must therefore; state th at the charge is
incorrect. - We know quite as muCh about. Coal as
Mr., AnSEMetidoes, and we would)herefore advise
hint to be a - little careful how he. fakes charges of
this kind in [attire. — This people ;,:tiot facts, aid

Vein, and the tunnel, which runs sonthl fram the i
bottom of the slope, will, whin comPleted, cut
three other veins, one of whicit, 8 feet" in thick
tics, is now ii operation above water Leval.--
When these veins are , all opened, and' in work
ing order, which will be soon, Mesirs. Brittain will
be able to send from 64 to 70 cars of the best Rod
Ash Coil per day to market. Their hrdsting and
pumping engine is slaty horse power, 'end drawsi
the cars, which will carry shunt two ten's, from the
the bottom of the slope to the top of the breaker
over an incline of about .10 0 of elevation:, and about
fifty yards iu length; from the month of Xhe elope to
the "tips." The chaia which they use §s made of
five-eighths iron. It has never, broken. They
have been using. thO
; same kind of,„ chain •at
their operation in Patten's Valley, to the west of
Minersviilo, for many years with the, same sue
cots: A greater aructint of damage is annually
incurred by the breaking of chains in our slopes
and shafts than would ho readily; imagined, and it
has been augg,ested that links welded on the sides;
instead.of the ends, would make betterehains than
those now in use, for in almost every case the
breakage is occasioned by a defective Weld. '
The engine which drives the breakey'andnrCe l l sl
of this establishment is forty horse ptiwor. and is
strong enough to hoist the dirt frani below the
screens to any height that may in futarebo DeCes
- though at present they have plenty of dirt!

of containing 500_Cons et prepared Coal, and hare;
nu schutes or convenience for tuakini Lump Cent,
and consequently; as Red Ash Lump; Coal is but,
little used, they will reduce all the ii Coal to pre

They have two screens for separating their -
Coal, twenty-four feet in length byjetir feet in
diameter; and every' eonvenictico fdr the "slate
pickers," who. are enclosed fruut the sChutes by
means of a partition, and have benches *and traps
beneath the screens on which to sit and pick out the
impurities, and pockets close at hand into which
they threw those impurities and which dairy theta
down among the dirt. ; -
The Messrs. Brandi] alio take theprOCaution to
have their .Coal selected in the mines from the
slate and bone;Achlch in those veinslard not Very
plentiful; and on the tips. before it::goes through
the breaker, it is again selected, making three in
'iestigatibns through which the Coal hits to pass
before gping beneath the critical aye of the Coal
merchant
The top a t tic establishment, 'or :41:i. roads
which lend from the slope to the brealtr,.is sixty
six feet above the level of the Mine!luill Co.'s lat
eral, which runs under the sehutes.
The elope is twenty-four feet: sPrea:dlWitllin,the
timbers, and contains twoprunp-ways,about
fourj
feet each, nud two rail tracks, about six feet each,'
which with the three intervening props, ,early fill
up the space. They have one pltinger putup
iu
operation, with a fourteen inch ;barrel, whleh ,
effectually drains the water at prescfit, and it is
not.i)robable that they will went to use" . the other
pump-way for several years.
This - operation will cost in the nCig4horherl
.55.5,000 before it is finished, the greatest parr of
which has been already expended, and nothing
'new remains to he dune of any imPorLince but the
finishing of the tunnel, which is ;all4,ady driven
25 of the 140 yards that it is to go;
When this is done the Colliery will be complete,
and the Messrs. Brittain, it is to belhop'ed, will
