The speech of Judge TuckER occupies
large share of our paper this week. With
out endorsing ALL that it contains, we find
it document suited to the temper OF the
times. We have more of hopeiulness, per
haps, than the author, and look with n more
eager desire to n settlement of the unhappy
controversy now pending, on terms that
may preserve the Union entire. But what.
ever our own opinions may bc--opinons
which we confess desirc has had so large n
share in forming is dne to the con.
victions OF distinguished aud intelligent
mind, that for sixty or seventy years has
been close observer of political events,
aud whose ideas of justice are coeval with
the liberties OF the republic and the birth OF
the Constitution Such mans opinions
are worthy of consideration oyv,. his pre-.
JUDGES should not pass UNDECIDED But we
have neither time nor room to descant upon
the merits OF this speech; and shall there
fore leave the intelligent reader to make his
own comment upon it,

Gen. Houston said what is attributed to
him above. it is certainly very handsome
and very kind in him to have done 50, cs

agency of his conduct in producing tho
present state OF affairs. Had hs been a.
decided and as valiant some time ago rs he
now appears to be, the State of Texas
would long since have been in possession
OF her rights. The simple question is this

Nirieen Cars Dsmot,shed--Scwraf Men
and Hundreds Of Cattle kHied'
As freight train OF twenty-five cars,
heavily loaded with live stock from the wet,
was crossing an iron bridge over small
stream. three miles west OF the mouth Of
tho Luckawaxen creek, on the New York
and Erie Railroad, about one o'clock on the
afternoon OF the 3lst ult. the bridge gave
way, and although the locomotive got over
safely, the tender and fifteen cars were ..
cipitated into the ravine. which WAS sixty
feet wide and twenty 1--we feet deep
The ravine was completely filled up by
the wrecks Of the cars and animals The
sixteenth car wns reared on end, on the top
of the heap Of ruins The cars which went
over are said to have contained about 100
head Of cattle, 80 hogs aud $50 sheep; in
all about 100 animals. The cars, which
were going very rapidly, were completely
shattered to pieces, killing or wo,mding
hundreds Of the animals.
The conductor OF the train. two brake.
men and two droves were barried in the ru.
ms The first was extricased alive. though
badly wounded. Two or three Of tho 9TH
ers could be seen among the ruins and were
able to converse for an hour or two. Ono
Of them was finally gored by an OK and an
other also appeared to be dead, when oa'
informant left on the cars 1t p.n.
Another was still alive and called for a.
distance. Drink was handed down TO him
but he was buried 70 deep that there wa
little chance Of being got out alive.
Some Of the animals were unhurt, bu
the great mass Of them were killed or hor
ribly mangled, having their horns and leg
broken, and being wounded in various xsy'
by their struggling among themselves.
The trains from tho Fast and West
which met at the place Of the accident, OK
changed passengers.

The performance at the IIistrionic Hall
on Friday evening last, was, as usual, cred.
liable to the amateur Fhespian corps. The
evenings entertainment was varied and
interesting. The play, The Soldiers

songs were by no means the worst of the
performance. In connection with the play,
we take pleasure in noticing generally the
rapid improvement Of all the actors. The
