HORRIBLE RAIL ROAD ACCIDENT FRIDAY, July 7 Thirty Persons Killed—Fifty or Sixty One of the most terrible' railroad accidents ever witnessed In this country took place on lie Baltimore and Susquehanna Railroad on the evening of the 4th, near Rider's Grove, about nine miles from the city. A oorrespon dent of the American, who was on one of the trains, furnishes the following particulars: At 26 minutes Past 4 o'clock on Tuesdayaf- ernooo the regular tram for York left Cali,er station, Baltitn,re, consisting of four rumen ger cars, and a baggage car—all with the ex tine of the lost on well filled with passengers. Mr. 'William Scott was conductor, neconquinied by Mr. Ilollina, n d other officers of the road, who were repairing to Rider's Grove to nterist in the arrangements for the safe return of the excursionists. On arriving at the Relay House, the York train, according to orders, proceeded. to ?ay uff on the Green Spring switch. The I:oEfirA municipal election_ in the borough of ChumbersbuiT, for a member of the local council in place of one who bad resigned, has resulted thus: William Ileyser, regular Dem ocratic candidate 25; Adam Vandernw, regu ular Whig cmididate, 22; Jacob N. Snider, a 'Democrat, but not knowtl as n candidate, 174 ! The Qiiumbersburg Whig says that not a man could he found to" acknowledge that he had voted far him, or who knew that he was run ning. The secret of the result v,as that Mr. Snider was elected by the new organization called •Know Nothing " Chamberkbiiii, it must be understood, was previously tt Whig town.

SATURDAY, July 8 the York train again took the main track, and proceeded on, anti hod scarcely got under way, when, about three quarters of a mile from the Relay, and about a mile from Rider's, a terrible crash, accornpunied by a rush of steam, brought olLiv.ho were uninjured tbeif feet, and on escaping from the wrecked cars. a most heart rending scene presented itself. that it is impossible to desoribe in all its bur curs. Immediately in advance of us was's train consisting of two passenger cars and' the ten burthen cars, which had been fitted up to oar ry passengers, till of which were filled to over. flow. The locomotive was backing down to• wards Baltimore, with the tender in front, and the two passeoger cars' at the bead of the train. The locomotise on the York train was going ahead in its usual position, and although' nether train man moving at extra speed; the two passenger cars at the head of the excursion trains offered but little resistance, and were completely crushed together, the rear oar passing,entirely. through the foremobt one.— Both being filled with passengers the dentruc. Lion of life and limb was almost unpreoadent , ed. The centre of the foremost eor was tilled with the deed, dying ad wounded. all wedged together in one'mass with the fragments of t a care and the seats, so completely that it re quired a full hour's time and the use of axes to ramie the wounded. A number of females nod children were token out from among the dead scarcely injured, whilst through, the floor of the cuir could be tfeen the protruding limbs of some who had been instantly struck dead. . MoNDAY, Slily 10 - On nil the olothirms of the wrecked carcthe; destruction of life and limb was illimodso;4od the' cars being so closely wedged together it was utterly- impossible Tor more than nn hour to relieve any of them, although the screams of •tho sufferers caused the most superhuman exertions for their succour. On the platform at the heed of the excursion' train four men were caught by the fore part of the engine, two of whom were insinotl.); killed, and the othes, two were fast by their limbs, suffering the most excruciating agony, and almost roast ed by the smoke pipe of the locomotive'. They both fainted from exhaustion before I hey Could be rescued; requiring more than no•-hour of incessant labor: , One of them subsequently died. The Bhilekß of the women nod children over the bodies of their bustoindst and rithers, and over the wounded; were onoughzto typal the stoutest heart. , The accident occurred at 20 minutes poet 6 o'clock and it was half past 7 o'clock before the huit body was taken from the wreck.. ,The dead, the dying and the wounded; Wore strewn .about on the grass, some of Om toidies horri bly mangled; whilst the broken limbs and deep gashes in the bodies of the wounded, rendered it dertaip Antimony,. were injured beyond re• °ovary. •The American furnishes a list of the killed aw far In ascertained: henry Reynolds, Benjamin Merriman, Mrs..

' KNOW NOTHING VICTORY THE SUNDAY LAW This law is becoming very popular. All Through the country there seems to be agen o al movdment hi favor of ?losing the taverns and drinking houses on the, Sabbath. litany lonises are conforming voluntarily to theinew haler of things, and find the hies but trifling, which is fully balanced by the gain in being rid of a multitude of loungers with whom they were previously bored. If the decision of the Supreme Court stands for law, as undoubted ly it must, all tavern bars must close on that lay of the week, or the keepers belinble to in diotment for selling liquor without license. ANNA. OLns's new Postage bill, which passed the house last week, does not increase the rates of letter postage in the manner that was reprted. It estsblishes (he uniform rate of three cents for letters carried within 8,000 miles, and' makes prepayment of postage in all -cases, obligatory—after the Ist of January, '1855, such. prepayment to be mndo only by stamps. The present 8 cent unpaid rate is thus abolished. (In letters carried over 8,000 miles, the postage is to be ten cents, pretpaid. The present rates for such letters is 5:44 cents. Ou letters carried by sea, and t0,0.r from' d' foreign country (except • where the postage on 'the latter is adjusted hyl .

The last number of the Doylestown Intel iyencer has the following in regard to Bucks : "Letters from various part of this county nform us thus the prospect of a good vote for our State ticket is highly battering. They all agree-that Judge Pollock will get numbers of votes that have heretofore been cast for, the candidates of the Democratic party. The truth is. a change id going on among the peo ple. For tutrioua reasons, Gov. Bigler has lost the confidence of a large portion of the honest masons of his party; and while some will not vote nt all, the great body of that class of men will make their influence felt by voting for Pollock, whom they know to tie a man of nbil 7 By. frankness and candor, devoted to'the in terests of the State and people,"nnd not afraid to avow hie sentiments on any question which can properly enter into the canvass.
