The Norwalk Massacre.

The President of the New Haven and New York
Railroad publishes long address to the stockhold-
erS of the road, relative to the accident at Nor
walk. He details at length the regulations of the
road. especially those with regard to the Norwalk
Bridge. He explains the manner in which Tucker
came to be employed on the road. He came re-
commended as competent by Ma or Whistler, of
the Western Railroad, Massachusetts. With re-
gard 10 the collision Of the winter of 1850 5l, be-
tween Port Chester and Greenwich, when Tucker
was on the line, the President acquits him of all
blame, and says it was entirely owing TO the mis-
takes of the conductor and against the remons-
tiance of Tucker. Tucker was seriously injured
and disabled at the time, and the company voted
him his salary just as though he had been at his
post, for one year. The conductor, who caused
the collision, was discharged. Tucker was en-
poyed on the road, when he recovered, as an extra
hand-the labor being so severe on the regular
engineers that they require days rest in each
week, when extra men put on, who are in
every respect equal to the regulars. The Presi-
dent thus concludes his address:
He (Tucker) acknowledges now that he was
perfectly familiar with all the rules and regulations
of the road and the bridges and draws; that there
was no difficulty whatever in seeing the signal if
II had been up, or in recognising the fact of lis
absence; that he had time tables in his pocket,
and others were i'll a box on the engine; that he
was perfectly familiar with their contents, but by
some strange fatality he believes, as much as he
believes that he was alive, that he the signal,
though he is now forced to the conclusion, by the
contrary evidence of such number of persons
that he must have been mistaken.
These are the simple facts in regard TO Mr.. Tuck
er, and his connection with the company, and with
tie deplorable catastrophe of Friday last
The officers OF the company feel no disposition
to screen themselves from any responsibility that
may justly fall upon them by casting censure up
on others. They feel tao much Inundated by the
fact that their system, which they so confidently
believed to be more than ordinarily safe and safely
administered, has proved insufficient to prevent
such most disastrous and awful result, to set
themselves up judges as to the individual, up
on whom the responsibility should fall. They
leave that duty to the public authorities whose
province it is 10 decide.

GJ-It appears from the Railroad Record, that
only one person in nine thousand, of those who
travel on cars, is injured at all, and that only one
in twenty-eight thousand is killed.
The Record closes its statistics with the follow
ing differences which it draws from them:
list. OF all the persons in or about a railway. the
passengers are in much the safest position.
I'd. That the number of passengers injured is
very small in proportion 10 the number carried; and
that OF all modes Of public conveyance, railways
are the safest.
Sd. That of accidents to passengers, full one
half are caused by their own gross negligence, and
violation of the rules laid down for their observe
ance.
4th. That of persons injured outside the cars,
the majority so injured by their own fault
in not taking timely care, in being intoxicated.
9th. From the special returns OF the companies
we find that most of the ''running off the ira ok
or being thrown off the track, was caused by ami
mails on the track.
9th. Children on the track and injured, was
caused by the want OF fencing.
18th. From the laSttwo facts, it is plain that a
preventive to a large number OF accidents, would
be strong and continuous fencing. We hope to
see this universally adopted.
Sth The most dangerous cause Of Legitimate ac-
cldent is 'eOllison.' A preventive of this al
most entirely, would be double tracks; and This,
also, we hope, will be adopted, on every consid
cradle railway in the country.
10 these prsventiveS the Albany Register adds
the following
9Th Every crossing of track. road or foot
path, should be carried either oper or under the
railway.
10th. Every part of the road and of the train
should be constantly and unrelentingiy watched
10y force of police hired expressly for that pur-
pose, anu having no other business.

EXPLOSION ON BOARD TIE BucKEYE-The Buck
eye, Cincinnati Packet,) which left yesterday
morning, says the Pittsburgh American OF Mon
day, burst her steam connecting pipe about 10
miles below this ci;y.-The Cook and another
hand is missing, supposed 10 have jumped or been
blown overheard, and two others badly scalded.
The two latter were brought up to Allegheny City,
yesterday, and the steamer has been towed back
to the wharf where she now lies for repair. This
is the second time the same pipe "copper" has ex-
ploded on this boat. We could not learn, but
presume of course that no.one is to blame in this
case, so few lives being lost.

HALIFAX, July 20.--lhe steamer Eu-
ropa brings the following additional
items OF intelligence:
RUSSIA AND TURKEY.
There are plenty Of rumors in regard
to the aspect and favorable solution Of
the Eastern question, Int nothing that
can be relied upon as authentic.
The passage Of the Pruth by the Rus
slams on the I'd of July, and the occupa-
ton of ,!assy are confirmed by later and
authentic adyiccs: G"n. Luders is to
occupy Wallachia, and Cen. Damaurg,
Moidavia. The Russian reserve at Mos
COW was about to march to Bessarabia.
Among the Russian troops on the
frontier are Calmuck Tartars and other
tribes Of the interior Of Asia, indicating
that the Emperor has been tor long
time preparing for this contest.
Advces from ConStantinopie are to
the 22d June. it was lumorcd that
NenschkoT win lie sent By Russia to
Constautinople to reopen negotiations.
The masses IN Turkey are anxious for
war, and warIil,e preparations are m
cessant under the direction Of French
and English officers. Selma Pacha has
gone on mission TO &chanyl, the Cir
cassian Chief, to secure bis alliance.
Com. Stringham, OF the |. s. frigate
Cumberland, had an interview with the
Sultan, and assured him that the Sultan
met with the sympathy Of the American
people.
1t was rumored that if France and
England did not regard the occupation
Of the Principaliirs by Russia as an act
Of war, Turkey would not lorcibly OPP
pose their occupation, and negotiations
would be resumed.
Provisions at Constantinoplo was
enormously dear. The paper currency
was daily sinking. Trade stagnant. The
silk crop was almost a failure. Opium
abundant.

4 SLAVE OF GEN. WAsutNGToN's--
1t is not generally known to our readers
that there is yet living neal Cookstown,
a slave Of Hrn. Washington's. He is
l24 years Of age, and can walk six miles
in Il day. He is so old that bis fingers
and toes are nearly all white. He be-
lonrrd to Washington when he owned
what is now known as Washington
Bottom, Oh which Perrypol,s now stands
The estate of Col. Cook was and is still
bound for bis living. He is to be taken
to the Worlds Fair for exhibition, If
arrangements can be made it is well
known that Narnum made his first "piIe
Of money" by exhibiting Il slave which
he said belonged to Washington, but it
was all humbug. For this man being
slave of Wa,hington's, the record Of
the transfer from Washington to Co..
Shecve will prove. 1t is worth TRIP
TO see him at his home.
