•\tttu' The first intimation wo reoelred of thin aflMr
wan Iff telegraph, the aoeno laid In Norfolk, and
.tral to published In tho flrat edition of oorlast Mon*
daf morning’s lsauo, A subsequent despatch placed
the matter right. In extent and palnfhl detail this,
l perhape, exceeds any previous event of tho kind that
’ has ever occurred in the history of Railroad travel,
. and will barry a thrill of horror mingled with indig
nation and sympathy throngfaont tho entire land. We
meat devoutly trust that an impartial and rigid legal
examination will bo at onoo instituted to ascertain
upon whom tho awfUl guilt of hurrying so many hu-
man beings Into eternity Justly lies, or whether it
■ oould possibly be the result of aooldent. Tho Trt-
faw. to which wo arc principally Indebted tor tho
actoont wo publish, aflbctlngly inquires, " who, but
those whose own hearts aro rent by such a calamity,
can appreciate all there is shocking and revolting
in this suddouand moroiless destruction? Who, but
those whoso tears fhll over the mutilated, remains of
a Mend,a husband, a wife, a child, while tho lost pres
sure of their forewell is still fresh npon tho hand, can
know how awtol, bow bitter it Is thus to find thorn in
..., such a wreok of Inevitable and all-dovouring death ?
Wo see our Mend* exposed to other modes of danger
with something of preparation; wo bid a brother
farewell as be goes to serve his country in battle, with
the consciousness that ho may novor return; wo hear
with tranquil sorrow that men who have risked life
• In some perilous expedition havo fallen victims to
tbelr heroism; but when in an instant, with the re
sistless rush of a steam-engine, at oar very doors,
withpnt a previous thought or indication of danger, a
' whole multitude of human beings confidently jour
neying on errands of afibetion, or business, aro drag
ged Into the deadly abyss, and crashed or drowned
in tile wreck of cars and machinery, it Is Inexpressi
bly dreadful. No other spectacle can surpass tho
* horrors of such a sceno. No other event oarries deso
lation and mourning into so many homes.
** For remoter calamities wo havtf had words of In-
.; djgnanfc denunciation, demands of justice upon the
guilty so that safety for tho future might bo soenred.
But this is so near, so overwhelming that wo bavo no
heart to Inquire who moBt bo pronounced Its cause.
Whoever he may be, God help him 1 Of all who to
day bear the anguish of this disaster there is nono so
deeply to be pitied as tho man with such a burden
npon his conscience. Better far to be tho victim
than tho author of Buck a crime.”
Wo learn verbally from a gentleman who camo
passenger per tho Florida, having left New York on
Saturday, P. M.. that up to the hour of his leaving

bodies bad been recovered.
Since the above was prepared, wo learn from a des
patch dated Hartford tho 7th, that tho legislature,
then in session, appointed a special committee to in-
. vestigato tho causo of the late disaster. The com
mittee oonslsts of Senator Hyatt, Hr. Beckwith, of
Litchfield,'Hr.’Rassell, of Sharon, and Mr. Halsey of
Norwich. They are instructed to repair at onco to
the sccuo of disaster, and collect facta and report of-
. ficlally. A bill was also introduced making it a fine
of $10,000 for every person killed upon a railroad, and
Imposing heavy penalties for injuries on account of
accidents caused by carelessness. The Legislature
have also resolved to appoint a board of railway com
missioners, with extensive powers.

Through tho neglect of tho engineer or tho person at
tho depot, who showed a white instead of a red flag,
tho train, which wob running at a rate of from 20 to
30 miles per hour, was not held up, and tho engine,
tender, two baggago cars and two passenger cars and
half of another, rushed at foil speed into the water.
By tho rules of tho draw, aa wo are informed by
tho engineer of tho boat, tho steamboat Pacific has
tho right to pass at any timo, on giving a proper no
tice. Tills, ue says, sho did. The ball at tho draw
was properly lot down, and about fifteen minutes la
ter, tho boat passed, sho was hardly twice her length
away when the train came rushing on as deaoslbed.
Tho boat rounded to and rendered all the assiKance
possible. This boat transferred tho mails, baggage
and uninjured passengers to tho other side of the
river. •
Tho engineer of tho Bteamer Pacific—tho boat for
tho passago of which tho draw bridgo was opened—
in a letter under date of the 6th, to tho Now York
Herald, says ho was an cyo witness to tho calamity
from first to last. Wo copy tho material points of
his statement, which are fully confirmed by tho com-
manlier of tho Bteamer, Capt. Byxdee. Mr. Renaud,

Urcda, vulgarly known as tho smut Tn wheat. It
is evident that tho phenomenon of colored rain
cannot occur, particularly in our latitudes, without
some extraordinary atmospheric changes of which
philosophy has foiled to discover tho causes; but it
frequently takes place on tho ovo or a pestilence. Dr.
Barker has recorded the foil of an ink black foetid
rain (doubtless nnimalcnlar,) near Carlow, on the
14th of April, 1849, at a period coincident with ttio
outbreak of the cholera in that town. This belief in
a connection between both .circumstances, also pre
vail extensively in India ; and though perhaps it re
ceived nn undue amount or credenco, tho popularity
of tho theory vouches for tho frequency of tho coinci
dence. An immonse development of insect life also
preceded the pestilenco at West Barbary, in 1709,
and tho samo circumstance elsewhere has been fre
quently witnessed and recorded.—DiiWm University

Special Correspondence of the New York Herald.
Appointment or a Governor for New Mexico.
Washington, May 6, F. M.
Tho Hon. David Meriwether, of Kentucky, has
been appointed Governor of New Mexico, and it is
undcratood has accepted the office. Ho will be here
in a few days to receivo his instructions, and will
loavo immediately thereafter for the scene of Uls du
ties. Mr. Meriwether, it will be remembered, was
sent to the United States Senate upon the death of
Mr. Clay, whoso scat ho occupied till tho timo fixed
by Mr. Clay forhisresignatiou, expired. The prompt
action of the President in removing Governor Lano,
and appointing his successor is tho best evidenco
whicli can bo given of tho disapproval of this govern
ment of tho antics of the late Governor. It Is pro
bable when Gov. Meriwether arrives in Now Mexico,
he will at onco issuo a proclamation repudiating tho
coup d'etat ot his predecessor, leaving tho adjustment
of the boundary question where it properly belongs—
cither to the commissioners or the two governments.
There never was the slightest doubt, it is understood,
in tho mind of tho President or tho Cabinet as to tho
utter impropriety of Mr. Lane’s conduct.
Tho.truo policy of tho government of tho United
States is to conciliate Moxico, and to treat her with
that magnanimity which a great nation can so grace
fully extend to a weak power. Tho dispute or argu
ment as to tlio boundary lino, cannot in any way bo
mixed up with Mr. Lono's conduct, and tho adminis
tration does not intend it shall. Articles havo ap
peared in several papers, defending tho boundary
claimed by Mr. Lano, and to a certain extent approv
ing of his conduct, bnt wo are strongly inclined to
beTiovo that tho President considers it a question with
which Mr. Lano has nothing to do, and that his forc
ing himself into it was a piece of presumption. All
that tho United States deslro is, that tho boundary
siiall bp adjustodoflcording to tho terms of tho treaty;
and thaunatraraout provides tho modo by which any
diObrcnce of opinion shall bo arranged. It is scarcely
necessary to cuter into a nowspnper dUoiu«ion now
as to tbo proper boundary, unless, indeed, tho discus-'
aion is intended os instruction to tho President. For
our part, wo feel perfectly, satisfied that Gen. Pierce
will seo that tho interests of tho United States aro not
sacrificed, and wo havo confldonco in his intelligence
to do so without tho aid of nowspapor guido boards.

The Gardiner Trial.
Washington, May 6,1853.
In tho Gardinor case this morning, immediately on
thooponingof tho Court, Judge Crawford gavohis
decision, mainly ratine out tho letters. HU opinion
was in substauco as follows :
Several letters, doted 12th of December, 1844, amF
from 8th May. 1851, to 8th September, 1852, having
boen submitted to John Charles Gardiner, a witness
for (lclendaut, by whom they
written, aud bo having said that ho*neither admitted
nor donied them to be in hU writing, except perhaps
No. 6. Col. Thomas was called by tbo United States
aud testified that each of the said letters and writings,
ns ho believed, was in tbo band-writing of J. C. Gar
diner, whereupon the United States offered them in
evidence. To this proposition the counsel of the de
fendant objected. Thu objection, it was contended,
waa well-founded; first, because the evidence offered
consisted of the more declarations of a stranger; sec
ond, if ordered to discredit tho witness, tbo proper
foundation had not been laid, tbero being no denial
of any one of these papers being in the witness’ hand
writing ; third, that if they nro considered the acts of
an accomplice, thoy cannot bo received, because not
dono in furtherance of tbo common object, but aro all,
except tho letters of ’44, subsequent to its attainment
—fourth, that they aro collateral, and fifth that they
are not rebutting evidence.
The United States insisted upon tho competency
of tho ovidcnco—first, to contradict the witness—sec
ond, ns tlio acts of an accomplice—third, as acts of
an agout of tho defendant. There was an indictment
against tho witness for tho same offence in relation to
tho samo transaction pending in this Court. Tho
3 ueatlon would bo considered on tbo ground that tho
cfendant and witness acted together in the prepara
tion to support the claim of tho former before tho
commission, and in procuring its allowance. Wheth
er tho claim was just or unjust belonged to tho jury
to decide. Assuming that they acted together, how
stood tho law? It was admitted by tho United States ^ . - ---- ---, , --
that a statement of an allogcd partner in crime, being hands of a band of rql
a narrative of post transactions, coqld not be received
against his fellow, bnt only such declarations as ac
company tho transactions during tho conspiracy, and
this could not bo donied for tho unbroken current of
decisions leave no room for controverting this well es
tablished doctrino. But it was urged the supposed
conspiracy between tbo defendant and witness had
for its object the use of the money obtained for tho
claim, That that desire was as strong now os it was
when tho original plan was laid, and Keops tho con
spiracy alive to this moment; and. secondly, that the
object or witness was to get nls brother out of tbo
scrapo. Supposing this to bo so, the Court did not
Bee how it could be connected with tho original con
spiracy. The purposo of that was answered. an award
was mado, and the money was paid to the defendant
or bis attorney. The defendant had gono to Europe,
and tho witness was in Mexico, it was presumed from
the date of ono of tho letters offered. At this Mago of
tho business thoro was nothing to conspiro about. If
a subsequent conspiracy took place in relation to tho
defense of the accused, it moat have boon concocted
in tho summer or foil of 1851, for the defendant was
in Europo when the indictment now trying, wts found
according to evidence heretofore adduced. This in
dictment was for falso swearning In ’49. It waa then
complete. The crimo was not committed. How the
acts of an accomplice, two years after tho offenso was
charged to bavo boen perpetrated, and months after
its success was accomplished, could bo lawfully used
as substantiate evidenco against the defondant, tho
Court did not perceive.
The Court argued tho other ground on which the
letters had been offered, at some length, and in con
clusion thoy could not be rocoived in evidence as tho
acts or*hdmissIons of a confederate, so as to affoct
county. What a commentary does this afford, upon
that bane of society, intemperance; bad this man
beon in his senses, ho would probably never havo

ms befallon him. It is bnt tho daily result of the
vice generated and increased under the tippling shop
system, and which will never bo sensibly arrested till
thoso establishments nro mado to stand up on their
own inherent merit and good, divested of tho facti
tious covering ot law and right.—Sandersville Cen

two of tbo rogues who
nah by forgery, were arrested in Wilmington, on
Thursday and brought back to this city on yesterday.
A check was sent by Messrs. Belcher & Hollings
worth, on tbo 2Cth April, to Hand, Williams & Wil
cox, of this city; by hoiuo means it fell into the
hands of a band of robbers, who have their headquar
ters in Charleston. They took the check to Savannah
and, strange to say, succeeded in getting tho money
for it.
On Wednesday last Bome fellows left here in tho
Wilmington boat under rather suspicious circum
stances. Hand, Williams & Wilcox, telegraphed tho
Marshal of Wilmington to arrest them. Tho Sheriff
with hia officers wero promptly on the spot.' Thoy
had to knook one of tho chaps down twice before he
would consent to return. Several hundred dollars
wero found secreted in their shoes. The men arrost-
ed are Italians, and arc associated with a large com
pany in this city who make their living by stealing.
What makes tho matter worse, some of tho men whom
we pay to watch and guard our property at night, aro
partners in that concern. One of our city watch was
from his post four nights In Savannah financiering ;
on his return ho informed his honor, tho Mayor, that
his health waa not* good, and begged to bo released

liver ds directed; instead of doing which, however,
he appropriated it to his own osc, and lied tho city.
A few days since, Mr. Plant learned that tho young
man had located himself at Toledo ; and Mr. Wm. B.
Dinsmore, ono of tho firm of Adams & Co., went be
fore Justice Bogart and preferred a complaint against
him. A warrant for his arrest was issued, and Air.
Plant started with it to Toledo. On confronting tho
accused, ho acknowledged to Mr. Plant his guilt, and
voluntarily accompanied him to tho city. When
taken before the magistrate, and asked what bo had
to say rclativo to the charge, ho answered, “ I am per
fectly guilty ; I took tlio money.” He was then com
mitted to prison. It is believed that lio has $2,000 of
tho Btolen money deposited in a place known onlv
to himself, which ho lias not, thus far, returned to its
owners. Ho is a native of Vermont, and waa reared
a former.—N. Y. Tribune, 7th.
Tho National Intelligencer, of tho Cth Instant, an
nounces that tho War Department havo resolved to
abandon Fort Atkinson, on tho Upper Arkansas, and

Tho olipporship Sovereign of tho Seas arrived at
this port yesterday, in 82 days from Honolulu, Sand
wich Islands—it usually requiring four or five months
from theso Islands. Besides this speed for tho whole
passage, portions of the timo show a more remarka
ble performance. Tbo run from Honolulu to Cape
Horn, a distance of 8,C34 miles, was accomplished in
37 ; in 26 of thoso days consecutively tho ship ran 6,-
489 miles, nnd one of theso days was distinguished by
an extraordinary ran of 430 miles. This is tho great
est sailingrecorded, tho nearest approach to it being
that of tho Flying Cloud, which ran, in 26 consecu
tive days, an average of 227 miles per day. while the
dally average of the Sovereign ot tlio Seas for tho
same time was 249 11.13 miles, or 22 miles a day more
thau tho Flying Cloud. Tho best day’s run of tlio
Flying Cloud was 374 miles. Thoro is no doubt ofthe
above run of the Sovereign of tho Seas, as it appears
from tho lights aud calcinations entered at largo oft
Captain MoKay’s journal—a speed of 18 miles an hour
for 23 hours—greater than was ever done befor undor
canvcssr-iV. Y. Trirune 7th.

cated ; he started for Dome, nnd arrived lato in the
evening, ho took his gun and shot a dog lying in the
yard, at which ids wife made some remarks, no then
turned to her and commenced abusing and cursing
her, swearing that ho would kill her, and picked up
his gun and attempted to shoot, she ran and ho after
her, he throw tho gun ut her, then took up a stake
Borne eight or nine foot long, pursued bor, and com
ing up with her, knocked her down, alter recovering
