barous and savage ,and become obsolete and

human passions arc not as cyancscCnt as
human customs which has It's foundations
IN human passions. But trusting, as |
heartily do,bolh in the great law of progress
which | believe God has ordained for the
race, and in Christianity, that holy and
peaceful faith which He has designed to
become universal, see in the dim future A
brighter era, when the loflcst predictions
of prophecy regarding the reign of Peace,
shall be fulfilled!

The collision which occurred on the Utica
and Schenectady Railroad, few days since,
between two trains gong at full speed. was a
cribed:
The mail passenger tnin from the West came
in collision at at an angie in the road, with an
up train laden with railrsad iron-both going at
full speed. On reaching there a scene was pre-
scented which cannot sdequately describe. The
two engines were lying near each other, partly
on the track, mass Of ruins The tenders
were demolished. The engine on the up train
had completely reversed Its position. Such was
the momentum and weght of the iron that it
was thrown up on end and fell backward on its
side.
The first baggage car Of the down train was
In like MANNER raised on end, and fell at right
angles with the track on The south side, break
ing in pieces. The frs passenger car was
thrown two-thiris Of its length into the second
baggage car, In the back end Of which was the
post office, making complete wreck Of both,
and scattering the Letters, &c. in all directions,
which were afterward carefully gathered up by
the mail agent and the Herkimer postmaster
AL the passenger cars were more or less injured;
three Of which were nav cars belonging TO the
Albany and Schenectady Co., and just put on
the road Fragments ef wood and iron, and the
baggage, were thrown5n all directions. None
of The passengers who were in the cars were i'm
jured except very slightly. Two men were
killed outright. A yeang man named Smith,
Of Herkimer, who was on the engine, and man
named Welsh, Of Fort Plain, who was, / believe,
in the baggage car. Neither of them was EN-
ployed on the road. Their bodies were horribly
mntilated. Two men' were dangerously inju-
red.
Mr.. VIM. Bennett, Of Albany, 30 Hamilton
street, had his thigh broken and shoulder dislo-
Gated, and Mr.. Howard, Of jefferson county,
who was standing on the hind platform Of the
second passenger train, had both legs broken
Mr.. Bennett was in the baggage car, believe,
and was nearly buried beneath tbs ruins. Both
engineers jumped from the engines, and escaped
with slight injury. Mr. Digger, the express
messenger, remained In the express car, and al
most iniraculously escaped with slight injury
