is all. We therefore have been compelled
10 look to some other source for our own

The telcgraph few days since announced
serious acciden: on the Baltimore and Sus-
Quehann Railroad in which several persons
were seriously Injured. though none were
killed. We take from the Baltimore Americdn
ths following description Of the occurrence
Cine Gozsfis.
The train. consisting Of baggage car and
three passenger cars, with about eighty pas.
sengers. left York at half past three o'clock
on Monday afternoon, in charge OF Captain
Ratclide, one Of the most careful officers on
ths road, and ell anticipated pleasant and
agreeable journey. They had scarcely got
out Of sight Of York. however. (lhe scene oil
the accident being but two miles from the
limits Of the borough,) when in turning y
curve the whole train, with the exception o.
the locomotive and tender. flew the track, and
was precipitated down an embankment about
twenty Ave feet high.
The burthen car retained its position on
the side of the embankment, just clear Of the
track. on its side. but almost on end, lying
length wise down the embaDkment The first
passenger car now lies in the meadow, about
6fay feet from the track, on its side. The
second car came to stand about sixty feet
from the track, on its side also, and the third
remained on the side of the embankment al
most on end, the rear jus, clearing the track
The FIRST car was almost exclusively occu-
pied by men, and although in the course OF
its descent it rolled over three times, We be.
lieve that they all escaped with nothing more
than bruises and cuts, except those who were
injured by the stoves, and burnt by the hot
Goals that escaped from them.
The second passenger car also made three
revolutions in its descent down the embank
ment, which gave it an impetus that threw il
out in :he meadow. coming to stand full
sixty feet from the track. on its side, the trunk:
of all three cars remaining in their places.
The scene in the interior of these cars /.
described as having been of The most awfu
and appalling character, so much so that eacl
passenger expected to find his neighbor
seriously il not mor,aly wounded. Men
women and children, were thrown together
alternately from flour to ceiling, ms the car
turned over. The Stoves Of course, brok
from their places, and were dashed about th,
cars, whilst the hot Goals we're scattere,
about among :he passengers, iDhctng bat
burns on some. and burning the clothing @
others. Several ladies had their dresses Of
uIes dnu Woulu uouotlesS nave Oeen Serlousi
burnt but for the prompt assistance returne,
them by the gentlemen. The large ston
spi,toons were also Formidable weapon whic
were brought to bear on the persons of tn
passengers, whilst a number Of seats brok
from their places, and added still crate
tsrrors to the catastrophe. The hot Goals Sc
fire to the cushions. of the cars, filling ther
with smoke. and the windows being close
with iron railings whilst the doors were S
jarnmed thlt they could not be opened -lhl
also. after the cars ceased to move. for fe
moments, add d to the fears of the passer
gers.
