Railroad Accidents.

To he Editors Of The Tribune
F.. AS many remarks have been made in
your paper on the subject of safety on Railroads
without drawing distinction between safety Of
passengers and those who from intemperance
or fodhardiness have met with accident, will
you please insert the following extract from the
last Report of II. c. Seymour, Esq, State Engi-
neer and Surveyor for the year ending Goth Sep
TENDER, 1851:
"The small amount of danger attending Railway
travel is strongly exhibited in the fact, that of pas
sengers who were in the cars and in their seats
they should have been, not one has been killed and
only seven OF eight slightly bruised during the past
year,Io the vast numbers who travelled upon the
roads referred to-" JUsTIcE.

There IN no portion of the community
vho he,,e, conform to the requirements OF
Morality, Industry and Sohriety, or who more
scrupuIously obey the injunction, Mind your
ovn business than the societies OF Chrls-
tian Brethren contemptuously distinguished as
sShakers Though Jealous In their convic-
tions, they do not compass sea and land to make
proselytes; though Socialist and even Com
munist in their organization, they have never
been even accused of covsting other peoples
goods or seeking to live by their wits; though
eschewBg Marriage and all sexual fles' they
have ceased to be suspected, by any out lne
most prurient imaginations, OF lewdness ana IN
confluence; though they began their present
mode of life poor, ignorant and despised' 'hey
have never yet sent forth pauPer, drunkard OF
criminal TO burden Society, while they nave
been obliged to pay taxes literally and constantly
for the support Of criminals, paupers and drunk
ards made such by influences and usages against
which their whole life is protest In short, If
there be any portion Of the community who would
seem fairly entitled TO live peaceably under the
protection of the laws, enjoying the good Will
of all who know them, the Shakers are OF that
sort.
They make one grave mistake, however.
I1ey don't vote and that abstinence exposes
them to much annoyance and petty persecu-
ton. They ought to vote; for Temperance,
Morality and Peace require Just such votes as
they would be certain to give, and they DO
wrong in Withholding them. By steadily refus-
ing to vote, they expose themselves unarmed to
the assaults of every envious or malignant
neishbor who feels rebuksd in his avarice by
their unselfshness in his sensualy by their cell
bacy, or in his lazness and contempt for labor
by their quiet and steady industry. Hence con-
tinual assaults upon them in Legislatures, re-
sulting usually in nothing but noise; but one
fruit of these petty attacks is law now on our
statute-book prescribing that the income OF no
society of Shakers shall exceed $1,000 per
annum.
As the Shakers fairly earn all the property
they have, and never employ any OF it in set
ting up grog shops, gambling houses, &c, to
the injury of their fellow men, we do think this
restriction a shameful one, and hope 1t may
speedily be repealed.

TEMPERANCE IN NEW. BRuNswIcK.-The
Liquor bill how pending before the Provincial
Parliament (says The Name Fouatain) is strong
one--on some points ahead of its model, the
Maine Law. Whether itpasses or not, the strong
expression already had in Its favor is frsught
with nch encouragement TO our Down East
brethren 1t augurs that the good time coming
at worst, is no, far distant. 7As Temperance

Of the bill

pToessed to speak IN unkLo tongues, aud 70 have
revelations from Heaven. The boy gave scope 70
his day dreams and conceived that he was inspired
to wrlte out the lost Book Of Esdras. hundred %
pages were prepared. They foIetoid the estab.
lishment Of a Church on different basis from that
OF the Mormons, its emigration to the mouth Of the
Colorado its establshmen and hOurishDg conditions
there ard gave rules for its government The divine
character Of these revelations by young Brewster
was believed in by a considerable body Of people
scattered over Illinois Iowa and OHIO.
The Journal states that the arrangements for some
time in progress for the emigration OF the Church
were go far completed in July, year ago. that some
forty families met at Independence, missouri, ana
took up their line OF march for The COLORADO, near
its mouth. Before their arrival at Santa re, the
company divided, and the whole OF the iafsess IL
vision, under the direction of Mr.. Go0dale, per-
ished by starvation and the hands Of tho savages on
the ella. Brewster and his party stopped on the
Rio ande, some distance below Santa re, and en-
deavored to make = settlement there, having dis
covered that they could do so under new explana-
ton Of the prophecy OF the Book OF Esdfas. The
Journal has letter nom Sorocco. the stopping place
OF Brewster and his party dated January 2SEh, 1851,
stating that sickness. starvation aud the savsgcs
