HEAT RAIL ROAD ACCIDENT!

comotives precipitated into the Canal—One
man killed and several wounded. Accompany
ing this terrible disaster there still was a striek
of luck to the Lehigh Valley Railroad Compa
ny for its occurring at the time it did—on
Tuesday afternoon, because on-the following
morning some 30 or 40 cars were about being
loaded by merchants in New York and Phila
delphia with new style Fall and Winter Goods,
all of which were to pass over the Bridge the
same afternoon ,directly to Allentown, and there
to be unloaded at Joseph Stopp's Cheap Cash
Store, No. 35 West Hamilton street. It is
evident that if these cars, with their heavy
freight, had been shipped in time to get on the
Bridge, that their immense weight would have
broken down the entire structure, and precipita
ted
their contents into the Delaware, and thus
would have incurred a loss to the Company of
between $300,000 and $400,000: and not this
alone, but the citizens of Allentown and vicini
ty would also have felt the loss, because if this
immense quantity of cheap goods would have
been lost, it would certainly have caused a
scarcity, and a rise of 20 per cent. But by
the aid of luck and the telegraph the intelli
gence of the accident was communicated to
Philadelphia, and Stopp consequently had his
goods loaded during the three successive days,.l
on steamboats, canal boats, wagons, carts,
wheelbarrows, backs of niggers, &c., and now
they have commenced to land at his new Store
House. His clerks are now engaged both day
and night in unpacking and selling goods. As
I passed by there last night between 11 and 12
o'clock, I stepped in, and to my astonishment
found perfect mountains of goods piled from
floor to ceiling. I passed back through the
Store and saw a pile of about 500 Shawls, of
all colors and prices—from 525 down to 37, 1 ,
cts. a piece. On the other side I saw about
4000 yards fancy De Laines ; and a little fur
ther along about 6000 yds. of twilled Persian
'Cloth : on the other side! hit my elbow against
14 or 15 cart loads of Calico, and a little fur
ther along there was a pile of 8 or 10.000 yds.
shirting and sheeting from to 2t yds. wide.
I then looked for men and boys' wear, and on
one side of the store saw ninny thousand yards
of cloths, cassimetes, sattinetts, Kentucky
jeans, tweeds, &c., of all colors and prices.--
I then began to get towards the rear end of the
store, and my eyes fell on carpets, oil cloths.
looking glasses, window shades, glass and
queensware. By this tine I began to get pretty
tiled and sleepy. and as I. turned around at the
end of the store I madt. a !Ids-step and down I
went, head over heels, into the cellar. When
I opened my eyes alai my senses were restored,
I saw n stack of salt in one corner from floor to
ceiling ; on the other side there. was the nicest
sugar, coffee, molasses, cheese, and mackerel
ever laid eyes on. I asked me of the clerks
some of the prices, and after I was told, I felt
disgusted on reflecting that I had so long been a
fool by paying double prices for my goods else
where. It was almost daytime now, and Ide
tertnined after breakfast to send you these facts
for publication in the Register. In conclusion
I will say, both one all, great and small. go to

COL. PRIOIONT TIII CONQUEROR of CALIFORNIA
Q.—Do you know wino n as the la 1:6011 in ac
tual eunnliand of the land iorcts of tilt govern•
went of the Untied &dies in California, in the
year one thousand eight. handled and forty sev
en, and in the month of March in that year ?
A.--Col. Fremont, the defendant, ;vim in
California at the commencement of hostilities
between the United States and the Republic of
Mexico. Ile there raised and commanded a
inittalion of California Volunteers, consisting of
about 450 men ; his services were very valua
ble ; he bore a conspicuous par! in the conquest
of Culdbrnia, and in my opinion is better entitled
to be called the ' Conqueror of California' than
any other man. lle continued in the actual
command of this battalion throughout the
month of March, 1847, but there were other
troops in California—other troops of the United
States— under the command of Gen. Kearney,l
who was afterwards the Military Commandant!
and Governor of California, as I have already I
stated in my answer to the eighth interrogato
ry. I cannot undertake to decide the dispute
to which I have already referred, between Col.
Fremont and Gen. Kearney, but as long as the
California Battalion existed they were under the
separate and independent command of Col. Fre
mont, whilst Gen. Kearney commanded the
