Our Rail Road.

THE Camden Journal has declined reply
ing to our article of the 4th inst We are
well aware of the cause of this silence.
If we are correctly informed, Camden
rather than the Road should connect at Cbes-
ter, if the stockholders here, will instead of
provoking competition between the two
places, give their unqualified preference to
Camden, and discard all idea or intention of
connecting at Chester, then, Camden will
give the matter more mature consideration.
Perhaps Camden is right, she must con.
slider her own interest 1t is altogether pre-.
ferable to the citizens of Camden, that the
whole matter should remain in sra.u q,lo ; q
Rail Road running through, connecting with
the South Carolina Rail Road, would prove
probably of more disadvantage than benefit
and therefore, TO consult her interest, II
seems that she will not act until Chester
makes some demonstration Of securing the
connection. But the citizens of Camden
resting securely upon an hypothesis, may
discover their error when too late to remedy
it. There can be no kind of doubt, and il
must be clearly apparent TO the citizens OF
Camden, that Road projected from here to
Chester, will do her more injury, than foi
the road to run through her borders; that
Chester will subscribe to this road, and lib.
orally, that the Charlotte Road will also
subscribe literally, we arc sure of, if we are
to credit any of the reports which reach us
and Camden may put of, and delay until the
last moment, when it may be to late. A
writer in this paper calls on the Columbit
Press. In fact, it astonishes US to SEQ the
indifference manifested by Columbia. Maj
Perry in writing to the Patriot from Colum.
bia. says, "that although it was predicted
that so many roads passing through Colum
bia would injure her, the result has proved
quite the reverse" Real Estate is worth
more in Columbia to-day than ever before
and there is more business done there. Il
the trade and travel Of this section of the
State, and the contiguous counties Of North
Carolina so insignificant that Columbia will
make no effort to secure il! If the Road
should, even at some distant day, be pro-
jected from Camden and pass on to Char
lotte, Columbia would find then a goodly
portion Of that trade and travel which she al
present receives diverted to some other To-
calty.

in custody Of Mr.. Henry b. Plant, also an
employee of that Company, and taken before
Justice Bogart, to answer charge of Grand

since Mr.. Plant learned that the young man

Co. went before Justice Bogart and preferred

Serious Railroad Accident.

From the New York Herald of Saturday
last, we select the following interesting bnt
painful details iu relation to tho recent
dreadful Railroad accident at the Norwalk
River, New Haven:
On our arrival at Norwalk station in the
half-Past 8 o'clock train, large crowd of
persons were congregated around the car
house, where the dead had been deposited
for recognition. On entering the building
terrible was the scene exposed to view, the
majority Of the dead lay side by side, some
Of whom bore the marks of violence on their
heads and fares, caused by the fragments of
the broken cars, while others looked. calm
and placid who had died by suffocation in
the water. In fact, the majority Of deaths
appeared TO have been caused by drowning.
We passed from this into small room, and
there saw eleven more bodies, who had been
recognized, and the friends were preparing
TO take them away. Among this wholesale
slaughter Of human lives, were many gentle
men Of the medical profession, who had the
night previous been guests ct the ccmpli-
nnentary dinner given by the profession Of
New York, and who were on their return

Col Pierce H. Butler.

The Palmetto Regiment formed por-
ton of the force that invested Vera Cruz,
but IL was detached to the south during
the seige, and before it rejoincd the main
column, the battle of Cerra Gorda had
been fought. The next actions of note
were the conflicts at Contreras Cheru-
busco, and Molino del Rey. Of these
the most important was the bloody drama
of Cherubusco, and here it was that Col,
Butler fell, and the Palmetto Regiment
won imperishable renown. But let us
briefly describe the battle. The village of
Portales was occupied by the Mexicans
and the causeway in front ofthe barn was
blocked up with dense masses of his troops
the cavalry numbering 5000, the infantry
1000. To assail them, General Shields
ordered 800 men Of his own brigade, 800
New Workers and 800 Palnettos-in-
cluding Reno's howitzer battery Of two
pieces, and 1000 men of Pierce's brigade,
to advance. He began his march by
making detour of mile; the ground was
difficult; the 10th infantry, and four
companies of the 18th, led the advance,
followed by the New Yorkers, the pal
mettoes and the battery of the 9th infan-
try. The advance on approaching the
barn, received heavy fire from tho enc
my; and :Tere directed to shelter them
selves; the, New Workers coming up,
were in line and fronting the causeway.-
The Palmetto regiment was ordered to
take position on the left of the New York
ers, it being Shields design to cut off the
left; but the enemy defeated his object,
and the New York regiment became at
once engaged in the sanguinary struggle.
The cavalry approached the left Of the
: line, and poured into it their fatal es-
copette fire; Colonel Burnett fell, an the
New Workers dismayed by the deoth of
their commander, now broke ard fed,
taking shelter behind wall. The Pal
metto regiment completed their formation
and moved forward, firing in order, with
out support 500 men opposed 10 1000 (!
Bot these gallant men moved forward
30 their probablc,loom with the steadiness
Of veterans, and with a determination
fixed and unaItersble, to conquer or die
Now came the heat of the conflicts;
our ranks were rapidly thinned, but
their place was supplied by the infantry
of other regiments, that now, animated
By the gallaptry Of the Carolinians, came

Steamboat Pacific TO pass through for New

of which were submerged in the water, and

scene was terrific.

have been the snost heartrending. Unfor.

accident, thereby making the water some

citizens of Norwalk witnessed the approach
OF tho train, and some Of them called out to
the engineer to stop, as they foresaw the
danger; but no heed was taken, and from
the speed at which the locomotive was then
going, 1t was impossible to stop in season to
prevent the accident.
The engineer, whose name is Edward
Tucker, beholding the danger, sprang from
the locomotive, followed by one of the fire.
men, ard The train passed on headlong into
the river. Many Incidents occurred at the
scene Of the disaster. A gentleman, after
extracting himself, saved an infant child who
was under the care of an aunt, the amt, il
seems, was drowned. A man who saved
himself by breaking the window, sprang on
the car and called for an axe to chop open
the car to extricats his wife. Several boat
men in the vicinity hastened in their boats
and were the means of saving many lives.

and his bride was one of the unfortunate suf-
ferrcrs. Mr.. Larchier, one Of the dead, had
on his person very large amount of money
which has been taken possession Of by Mr..
Warner, cashier Of the Plainfeld County
Bank Connecticut.
All the watches, jewelry, and other valua-
bles taken from the bodies Of the deceased,
are In possession OF Justice Weed, acting
Coroner.
During the day and evening, the trains
Of cars from New York and Boston, brought
n large number Of persons 20 the scene of
calamity, ia search Of their friends and rela-
tives. Mr.. Robbins, Of this city, knowing
that his mother and sister were on board the
train, arrived at. NOrwalk by the 5 o'clock
train, and there found his fears realized by
the announcement of the death of both his
mother and sister.

to 60 TO press, prevents n continuation of

b A complete collection of the "literary
works" of the Emperor Napoleon the Great
is being made in Paris, which, it is believed
will extend through some twenty or thirt,
volumes. These works will consist of some
thing more than mere proclamations, des.
patches and letters. Napoleon in his youth
was ambitious ofgaining a literary reputation
and employed much of his time in the con.
coction of tales and essays. Among them
says the London Literary Gazette, is a aRo.
