relation to the practcabity of surveying the Shas-

State, of which we have heretofore published n
description OF the country, and statement by Mr..
Robertson of the difficulties to be surmounted in
their survey. The surveyor general says his pre-
sent impressions that there will be no difficulty
in extending the necessary surveys to accommo-
date those valleys from the Mount Dablo meridian,
now about being extended. The extension of the
Mount Diabo meridian, and the running Of other
standard lines from it, had been suspended for n
few months; but Mr.. Tracy, the deputy who has
the contract, resumed his work on the lst of Au-
gust, and will file instructions to carry his lines
through these valleys, If at all practicable. If he
is unable, from nsurmountable obstacles to con-
meet their survey with the Mount Diablo meridian,
some other and more feasible plan will be adopted.

We chronicle, ia all its details, another Of
those wholesale murders which shock HUMANE
ty and carry anguish to the hearts of hundreds
in every part Of the Union This accident
seems to have been occasioned by a concur
renee Of negligence and carelessness, but is
chiefly chargeable, as such accidents generally
are upon the want Of due care on the part of
the officers in charge of the train.
The engineer on the Philadelphia train had
train approaching; gentleman having seen the
train pass attempted TO drive carriage across
the track, being hard Of hearing, he was not
aware of the Philadelphia train, which was
backing at the rate Of twenty-five miles an
hour; the conductor on the train saw the dan
ger, but, as his 6ell-rope acas out Of order, he
could not communicate with the engineer.
The collision with the carriage and horses oc-
casioned the terrible catastrophe.
| 1t seems to be admitted, in the accounts
officers in charge Of the Philadelphia train has
occasioned this accident We cannot conceive
how the stockholders in railroad deeply in
terested as they are in its proper administra-
ton, should select for the responsible stations
of engineer and conductor, persons who are in
any respect incompetent to be intrusted with
the interests Of the company and the loss of
thousands We take it for granted, that when
the Camden and Amboy Company shall have
paid the damages due to the sufferers, it will
perceive the importance of having none in such
responsible employ, except the most trlsty,
temperate and responsible men,

as ha can. But the mischief OF slavery
seems to consist more in its effect on

ELECTION CARRIED WITH CANNON.

Correspondcncc OF The N. Y. TIL une
Sr. LOUIS, April 10, 1855.
The Kansas Election has resulted in
favor of Slavery. The voters were citi.
zens Of Missouri. They marched with
cannon from We,tport. in Missouri. to
the town Of La wrence. These men were
loaded with small arms, they took violsn!
possession of the polls, which they hel!
10 military array until they felt assured
that their ticket would succeed--and
then they returned to Missouri. The
election was held on Friday, the 3oth
March. Thursday, at noon, the day be.
fore. an armed cavalcade which claimed
10 be 5000 strong, preceded by two
cannon mounted, and bya wagon loaded
with whi.ky--this whole military array,
armed with deadly weapons and lei by
q Col. Young, left Wes.port, in Missouri,
for the avowed purpose Of controlling
the elections in Kansas. They had
about forty miles TO travel TO reach
Lawrence, but the roads were dry, and
they proceeded 10 Waukarusa Creek
seven miles from Lawrence, before they
camped. About 900 went TO Lawrence,
and marched up to the polls, armed
and took possession Of the ground.--
They swors they were citizens Of the
Territory, and that it was bona fde theil
intention to remain there. This oath
each Missourian took before he voted
and then they all started back to thsiI
homes in Missouri that same evening
Tho legal votels, seeing tha, the election
was wholly managed by foreign interlo
pers. did not many Of them vote at all
There are very few slaves or slave own
ers in the Territory. The owners dare
not yet take slaves there. Theif news
papers, and the Slavery men, talk much
OF the thousands who are crowding into
the Territory: but it is all false. They
have only been there long enough tc
vote, and there is no danger Of their 60
ing there to take their slaves. The con
duct OF these Missourians greatly retard'
the settlement Of the Territory, but i
does no. advance the slave.interest il
the least. On the other hand it is open
ing tho Dyes Of thousands to the tru'
character Of Slavery, which, but 70
some such manifestation, would remail
closed forever.
