THE ACCIDENT AT THE LITTLE
FALLS.

The interest felt by the community in the
unfortunate accident which occurred at the
Little Falls bridge on Monday last, has induced
us to inquire into the matter, so as to give to
our readers an accurate account oft.
We are informed that Mr.. Rider, of this city,
contracted for the completion of the super
structure Of this work, under the charge of
Captain Thom, of the United States topo-
graphical engineers. At the time of the acci-
dent, Mr.. Rider was engaged in elevating one
end of the bridge so as to place under it its
bed dplates. The machinery used for the pnr-
pose proved defective, and, giving way, let the
end Of the bridge fall about six inches upon
the masonry Of the abutment with such pow
erful conclusion as to rupture that portion of
the bridge spanning the river, which, in its
fall, threw the second span, with which it was
connected, from its piers. The masonry itself
remain entirely uninjured. The iron-work of
the second span, though much broken, can
again be used-many parts being still unin-
jured. The first span being sunk in deep
water, it is probable that but small portion of
it can be advantageously recovered. The loss
sustained is estimated at about eight thousand
dollars.
We much regret that, by this accident, an
estimabc mechanic, Daniel Mcnamara, lost
his life, and an industrious laborer, John Triz
zel, was seriously injured, hopes being enter
tanned of his recovery-a fact differing materi
ally from the exaggerated statements which
have been communicated to the public.
The result of this accident was by no means
test of the strength of the bridge, which we
are assured had all the requisite strength for
such structure. Mr.. Stephenson reported q
similar accident to the Britannia bridge in
ls49, when fall through only one inch broke
iron bars each capable of bearing FIVE hundred
tons weight. The force acting on the bridge,
under the circumstances, may be compared
with that of an enormous trip-hammer, having
lin the case Of the Little Falls bridge,) q
weight of about twenty tons on the end of an
arm one hundred and sixty feet in length--a
power which the materials and strength of no
structure requisite for such a purpose could
resist.
The occurrence was simply an accident, of
course unforeseen by the contractor, who had
the sole charge Of the matter-an accident
which might have occurred to any one under
the circumstantances. This should, however,
in no manner impair the confidence of the pub
lie in Mr.. Rider, who has evinced unusual skill
and ability in the progress of the work, espe-
cially in moving one span entire, weighing about
eighty tons on trestle-work forty-five feet high,
placed on scows across the river, into its posi-
ton. The insinuations made that the officer
in charge of the work is blamable for this ac-
cident is gratuitous and without foundation !;
he having had nothing whatever to do with the
matter, as the operation Of erecting the super
structure and placing it in its position complete
devolved by contract exclusively on the con-
tractor.

ifornia, and win perhaps produce results not al
together agreeable to the Mexican Emperor.
The arrest Of an international officer is of
rare occurrence and will spring some delicate
and interesting questions. But no one we pre-
sumo can doubt that foreign government has
no right TO come into our territory for the pur-
pose of enlisting, organizing, and equipping
military force. The San Francisco Placer
Times very properly says;
again, at this present juncture it behooves
the United States to watch with jealous vigil
ance the intrusion of any foreign power to or
ganize warlike bodies within its jurisdiction for
purposes and objects beyond the legitimate
control of the United States. If Santa Anna
should be suffered to organize q military force
here, why may not Nicholas and if the EN-
peror of Russia may organize military force,
may he not naval one ?--the consequences
of which would be to involve us in broils with
the conflicting powers of Europe, and deprive
the United States of that independent position
which sound policy so plainly requires"

JOHN 2;eLEAN ADDISON.

We have been kindly furnished with the fol-
lowing incidents Of the eventful life of this gen.
tleman, whose sudden death has been noticed
in this paper, and which we give place to with
pleasure:
He entered the army just before the war, as
a noncommissioned officer in the regiment of
mounted rifles; and by his daring bravery and
chivalrous department in the various engage
ments to the city Of Mexico, he won the notice
and esteem ofthe various officers having imme-
date command, who, in conjunction with Gen.
Scott, recommended him to Mr.. Polk for q
lieutenancy in his regiment. At Churubusco,
he formed one of the forlorn hope, where he
received wound from the splintering of rock
struck by cannon-ball, and two other wounds
which nearly proved fatal. From an increased
disability arising from his wounds, after he
reached the city of Mexico, he was discharged
from the service and returned home. While
here, he received his commission and crossed
the plains to Oregon with the regiment, en-
during many privatons and hardships. He
resigned his commission in the fall of l849 or
80 and located in California, where many q
disa ppointed heart received aid and comfort.
Washington sentinel., 1854-04-28

they rose rs one man. Three or four decisive
battles were fought, and Santana drove Sou
louque and his black battalions back to the
west, where they have now been kept for ten
consecutive years. They have established and
maintained the Dominican republic under Q
liberal constitution, and ask the United States
to accord to this the only free white selfgov-
erning Amsricaa State in the West India
islands, The moral aid and comfort Of friendly
recognition.
At the.end Of niue years this request still re-
mains unanswered. To this day we have neg
lected 10 use the means thus offered to conform
to the American system this additional power,
and to strengthen it into nucleus of resist
ance to the European policy Of Africanizing
those islands.
We have diplomatic relations with distant
European powers Of less commercial impor-
tancc 10 us, and Of less extent than the Domin-
lean republic, which comprises two-thirds of
the magnificent island Of Hayti, and with which
we have such profitable trade in mahogany,
dye stutIs, cocoa, coffee, and other articles not
produced in the United States.
When our people become aware Of the situa-
ton Of this close and interesting neighbor to
the Uuion, the popular sympathy will be strong
y enlisted in its behalf and the government
viii see the propriety, not TO say necessity, Of
recognising the existence of this member of
the american family of nations.
Washington sentinel., 1854-04-28
THE DOMINICAN REpUnIIc.

For some cause, to which it is difficult to
give reasonable and republican explanation
this, the only position of the entire West India
circle of islands which is under an American
and independent government, has never been
recognised by the United States. 1t occupies
a central and commanding point in our Ameri-
can seas; and next to Cuba, of which it is tue
natural rear-guard, it holds the most controll-
ing position on the line of our Isthmus and
Pacific trade.
The history of its independence is interesting
to US, as whites and as republicans; for it is the
story of the redemption of fertile and promis-
ing American State from harsh and degrad-
ing negro despotsm. The whites of Santo
Domingo re-conquered from the blacks of Hayti
two-th;rds of this beautiful island and proffered
to the American system this new republic
50 long ago as 1874, but some Of the eloquent
| advocates OF the great American system, on
paper, are not yet ready to accept this valuable
recruit. They almost ignore its existence, and
will not trouble themselves to put the seal of
recognition to its wellestablished independence.
The negroes of the French COLONY at the
west end of the island of santo Domingo after
numbering off the white population in their
section, poured their destructive hordes into the
defenceless Spanish portion, and for twenty.
two years revelled in the plunder and slaughter
of the white settlers. Thousands Of families
were utterly blotted out and thousands more
fed to foreign lands; but they left in the plains
of Seybo and Vega the elements Of future
retribution. The sons Of the murdered colo
nists grew up hating and despising their negro
masters; and when Pedro Santana called upon
them for the rescue Of their race and country,

CONGRESS-.

In the Senate, yesterday, a bill to incorporate
the National Hotel Company of Washington
city was passed. Two private bills were also
passed. The Indian appropriation bill was
then considered, and many amendments were
acted upon.
In the House Of Representatives, Mr.. Disney
spoke during the morning hour, against the
bill granting lands to the several States for
internal improvement and school purposes.
The deficiency bill was then taken up in
Committee of the Whole on the state of the
Union, when Messrs. Smith, of Virginia, and
Mr.. Barry spoke in favor Of, and Mr.. Hughes
in opposition to the Nebraska-Kansas bill.

GOVERNOR SMITH AND MIR. BENTON


We learn that Governor Smith, of Virginia,
replied most successfully, yesterday, to the
speech of Mr.. Benton on the Nebraska bill.
We did not have the pleasure Of hearing Gov
ernor Smith speak, but his speech is represented
by those who heard it as a most successful and
triumphant effort He had some sharp shoot
ing with the distinguished ex-senator, in which
he is universally acknowledged to have come
off the victor. 1t is not every man who would
brave the experienced veteran of Missouri.
There are still fewer who could engage, and
successfully engage, in conflict with him.
But those who know Governor Smith as we do,
know full well that he is equal to any thing he
may undertake Few have met him in debate
who did not have cause to repent of their te-
merity.

The BRoTHERs SIEGRIsT.-We are indebted
to a friend for the following sketch Of those
wonderful performers at the hippodrome, the
brothers Siegrist. 1t is compiled from Euro
pean papers, of different times and places
The father of the brothers Siegrist is not
less remarkable than the subjects Of this sketch
For three years he was the riding-master Of the
late Duchess Maria Louisa, of Parma, and
there is now scarcely to be found on the CONT
nent any riding-school or circus Of reputation
which does not contain some horses of his su-
perior training. The exercise of this talent he
did not coniine to horses alone, but was the
first who trained dogs and monkeys to dance
on globes, and he is now training horse to
perform the same feat.
"He has seven sons, all of whom are dis
tinguished in their different capacities. The
eldest is professor Of the rding-school of the
Emperor Of Russia the second presides over
the meaage and riding-school of Queen Victo-
ra the third is FIRST artiste OF Napoeon's
imperial circus; the fourth was engaged by the
Emperor of Austria as the principal gymnastic
performer at the imperial theatre of Vienna
and the fifth is an eminent musician at Paris.
''The sixth and seventh sons arc those who
are now astonishing the visitors of the hippo
of strength and agility 1t is hardly possible
to believe that a man can balance pole up
right, thirty feet in length, weighing one hun
dred and fifty pounds; while another, weighing
one hundred and sixty pounds, climbs like a
monkey to the top, and while there executes
feats Of agility aud strength which but few
could do on terra Jfrzad. The feats OF these
men cannot well be understood without being
seen; they are as daring as they are danger
ous A single movement lost sight of by the
balancer would precipitate the other to the
earth. One of these feats is to hang his head
downwards, supported only by one foot resting
inverted on the top of the pole. The exercises
at the hippodrome are but part of the feats
of these athletic men. Many other astonishing
performances originated with them-such as
jumping over river seventy feet wide, the
great Trempln Jump over fifteen horses, the
pyramid Of decanters, dancing OF four globes,
and of two barrels on their feet" &C., DC.
The writer Of the above 6atters himself that
ere long the whole Of this extraordinary brother
hood will visit America, who, when combined,
will exhibit the most astonishing performance
ever witnessed, and which can only be done
BY the Siegrist family.
