THE BURLINGTON ACCIDENT.

10 notice of the terrible accident at Bur
lington in our yesterday paper, it was stated
that the disaster was occasioned by the train
running over a horse. This was the state
ment made in one of the dispatches; and the
q paragraph was written before more full &C
q counts were received, and not revised. New
ertheless, the idea of the dangers to railroad
travellers from cattle on the track is correct
and not at all untimely. There are plenty
of accidents from running over COWS and
horses, and it is good luck more than any
thing else that has prevented great loss of
life frequently from these occurrences.
The true statement as to the manner in
which the disaster in Burlington did occur
throws great blame on the railroad conduc-
tor and engineer. The train was backing
to allow the train from New York to
pass, when the accident happened. The
Philadelphia train had waited several min
utes for that from New York and then pro-
ceeded ahead slowly, sounding its whistle, |
for mile and quarter, when the New York |
train was perceived coming. The Philadel
phia train Immediately commenced backing, |
in which movement the passenger cars were |
put foremost and showed forward by the 10 |
connective. In this mode of backing the en-
gineer cannot, from the locomotive, see the |
track and what may be on it.
While moving in this manner, the train
ran upon two horses, attached to buggy
driven by DIR. Hannegan, of Columbus, New
Jersey, just as they were in the act of cross
ing the road; and by this collision four passen-
ger cars were thrown from the track, and the
dreadful consequences inflicted, for the par
full accounts in our paper to-day. 1t is sta
ted that the cars were proceeding at the rate
of 20 to 80 miles an hour when the accident
happened, whereas, according to the law of
New Jersey, no train is allowed to exceed 9
miles per hour, in its passage through Bur
lington. On the other hand, it is said that
Dr. Hannegan is deaf, and could not hear
the cars. and that an accident happened to
him some months ago from that cause but
DR.. II had several members of his family in
his buggy, and they did not give the alarm.
None of them seemed to be aware of the ap-
proacn OF tne Ut ram uuth ~ was uearIy upon
them, and the Dr. just had time to rein up
and save himself and family, before his horses |
were run into and killed-one thrown 80 feet |
and the other 40 yards, on opposite sides of |
the track.
Upon the whole. it seems that there is |
fiue chance to make out a case against the /
Camden and Amboy Company-and case
once made out, includes all other cases grow
ing out of the accident; and the Company,
by whose imperfect regulations so much in
jury has been inflicted, will likely be deple'
ted of good part Of their contingent fund.-
If they have any

THE UNION.
The Alexandria Gazette says that the a..
tempt making to bring about fusion Oh ~.
parties ct the North, so as to for" sre~'
Anti. slavery party, as we have already s1s'
ted. may have the very opposite effect from
that intended. 1t continues, these 'BlacS
Republicans as they are now called, may,
instead of fusion for, produce fusion
against themselves; and the patriots OF the
North who now take q bold and decided
stand for the Constitution and the Union,
will have the whole South and South West to
back and sustain them. Surely, these ele-
ments combined can make head against the
disunionists. We will not yet desapir of the
Republic, though the course of events hith'
erto has not been of favorable nature"
