The Boston Morning Star gives the
following statement Of the causes "i the
Iamcuiablc accident on the Western
Rail Road:
"From Mr. II. T. Smith, who hns con-
vcrsed with Major Whistler on the sub
,eci Of the late railroad accident, we
learn the following facts in relation to the
cause of il. The uniform rule OF the
road has been ill within n short time
hat the upward train from this city should
have precedence in all cases. Owing "a
lhe unfinished state of the track, orders
we're issued some time since, by Major
Whistler, that the trains should pass each
other at Wcs,feld, and Il, no other place.
The Saturday previous 10 the accident
orders were sent from Springfield, by
Major Whistler, through MIR Lee, one
ofihc conductors, to MIR Warren, to tins
effect, that the old arrangement would
again he in force, the upper train having
preccdence, that, if upon his arrival at
Chester, he was behind his time even
but 3 minutes, he was to wait ior the up.
ward train to pass ut Wcstfcld rs usual
The letter Nlr Lee took on Saturday,
and when he met the train Of which MIR
Warren was the conductor, he entrusted
II to one Of the hands, mot seeing Mr.
Warren readily who promised to del'v-
er it to him. This he forgot TO do, and
on Tuesday, Mr. Warren, Of course ha-
wing no know ledge 0ftlc now arrange
ment started from Chester, 10 meet the
upwaid train us usual at Weafeld, and
being some half hour behind his time ai
the former place, was the cause OF his
meeting the cars before he could arrive
at Weslieid MIR Warren, on being cx-
tric ated remarked, show could they leave
Wcslfcld before ! got there 10 the
nondeiivery of the letter is TO be attribu-
ted The accident. We understand Mr.
Lee has been suspended till an invesli'
CATION is had in relation 10 the affair"
The Atlas says:-" We are informed
that the results OF the distressing accident,
on the Western Railroad, are not quite
80 bad ns at first represented. Only
two Of the persons injured have ms yet
died-Mr Warren, the conductor, and
lad named Bloodgood, a nephew OF
Maj. Whistler, the engineer OF the road.
The other passengers who were injured
are likely to recover. We understand
tha, the running of the cars on the road,
is under charge of Maj. Whistler, and a
Committee of the Directors, consisting OF

FATAL ACCIDENT OK BOARD THE STEAM
FRicATE FULroN Yesterday afternoon
a Ga lb. gun burst on board this steamer
while Off the Hook, killing two persons
instantly, and woundng six others very
tadly. The names of the KILLED are
Samuel Snowman, seaman, and Joseph
phillbrook, ordinary seaman. The woun-
ded are, Russell Smith, carpenters mate,
Joshua Wyman' quarter gunner, Lew
Lawson, Thomas Smith, Richard Bell,
and John Cooper, seaman, all badly.
The explosion did great damage to the
fore part ofthe vessel, giving II the ap-
pcarance Of perfect wreck. The star.
board sieam-chimney was blown down. -
She is now moored at the Navy Yard.
The gun split in the brccch to the two
parts of the breech taking different dlrcc-
lions, one landed on the starboard side

The utmost care was taken by Cap.

prevent an accident, which the officers
greatly feared.
The officers kept the mcu back, pla
cing themselves between the gun anc

slow match. In examining the scene o
the disaster, it is only astonishing 'ha
more were no, killed, although there was
not a man within thirty feet OF the gur

which Herbert possessed, and he soon
began to tire of wife whose personal
charms had been her sole attraction, and
whose vanity aud love Of display conf

After some monihs' struggling with Pc

The recent election in Maryland has
gone for the locos by II majority Of IL
bout 500. Taking all things into con-
sideraiion, this result at the present
time is in no wise surprising or uncx-
pectcd. A superficial view ofthe VIC
tory achieved by the locos in Mary land
might lead to the supposlion that the
Wings were defeated in that State be-
yond all hope Of rccovcry.-But we
should hardly suppose that such an o.
pinion would be entertained by persons
at all conversant with matters political.
BY comparing the aggregate vote cnst
at this election with that cast at the last
Presidential election, it will be seen
that there is a falling off Of more than
20 900 votes, and that about I6 900 of
which were of the Whg party. Had
the actual strength of the Wings been
brought into the field, our opponents
would have experienced a defeat full e.
quail to that oflast fall. This, it seems,
:as not the time for the Wings to rally
and they have consequently been trap
ped by their more wale hful aud diligent
political adversalics. We are not
however, without the most confident
hopes that in due season the Wings OF
Mary yland, as well as the Wings of cv-
cry other State in the Union that has
been remiss in its duty, will unitedly
stand to their arms in the maintenance
Of the principles for which they have Sc
long contcndcd, with single eye to
their country's good.
