The Railroad Disaster.

We have couyer<ed with many who were pres
lent at the accident, aud who, Of course, narrow j
escaped with theiF own lives. From all, We haT
heard that the most incredible fortitnde was dis
played on the occasion, and that q detailed &C
count of Individual instances OF heroism and o
endurance would in all probability surpaSs any
thing which has ever occurred within the expeIi
ence OF living man. Itisgroafylng TO hear Of TIT
prompt aid rendered by every one of the no6l'
efforts made to relieve the sufferers, aud finally th
kindness which IS still being so noblY manifeSeI
towards them by the inhabitants0f Burlington ant
the vicinity.
AT such time we refrain from censnre or re-
mark as to the probable causes OF the accident, a!
We feel that as matters stand at present our feel
ing should rather be that Of sympathy with tht
suffering. The Coroner's jury, whose dutyit i
to investigate the cause, will point out where TIT
blame lies, and we suspend judgment until We
have heard from it the full state Of the case. ThI
entire community have deep interest in the re
suits of the investigation. and we shall lose M
time and spare no pains in laying before our read
erS all that may be brought 10 light.
As the verdict will however be, to q certain
degree. unavoiLably anticipated, we offer single
observation on the subject. The cause Of the &C
cident lies equally between Dr.. Haneken, VIII
is stated to be deaf, and the management Of the
cars. According to DR.. Haneken'S statement, hC
did not hear the cars at the time, and was driving
acIosS Gue LOau AZ tue IAIe Vi zen miles an uouL
On the other hand, the cars wsre backing 1t I
rate of thirty miles an hour. Whether the con
ductor or doctor is most to blame will appear b!
the evidence.
We present below the statement of D. E. Gavit
ESQ.,, Editor Of the U. S. Magazine. who was OF
the train from New York, and who remained OF
the ground during the day assisting in the melan
choly duty Of e1tricatins the bodies of the dea,
and wounded from the ruins. 1t was written 70
the Bulletin after Mr.. G. arrived in the city from
the scene of the disaster.

From our Regular New York Correspondent.
Matters and Things in New York.
New YORK, June %, 1855.

New YORK, June %, 1855.
The excitement caused by the liquor ques-
ton grows fiercer every day. Nightly meet
ings of all kinds of associations of merchants
and sellers who depend for their business upon
the importation and sale of alcoholic liquors,
through which escape the vituperations of the
desperate and the lamentations of the more
law-lcving. These societies present sometimes
strange mingling of elements, and have
been amused not 4 few times in contemplating
their character. Here you see the wealthy,
high-livng importer, who deals in his ship
loads, and has a mansion in 9Th Avenue, in
loving fraternity with the Dutch corner-gro-
Gerry man, who retails his single cask of poor
liquor at cts. glass, and holds lager bier
and sour krout as his business. The rubicund,
factures whiskey and ale enough to float the
aforesaid importers ships, may be seen cozily
"chiming in" with the keeper of the Irish ale
house down by the docks, discussing Familiarity
but in very bitter tone, the unconstitutional
ity of prohibition. Men of the highest re-
spectability on Change, are united hand IN
hand with the most notorious iowdies Of the
town, and pledge themselves to work for the
same cause And what is that dear cause ?
To resist the execution of law of the State,
by the force of arms, if necessary! What
but the al-powerful bond of golden interest
could bind together such an army in such q
cause? But it is all simply ridiculous. Abun-
dant rumors are aaoat about the vast number
of armed men that are to p0unce upon the
first luckless squad Of officers that attempt to
do their duty, and about dozen other absurd
things. OF course this is all mere nonsense.
There can be no doubt that the prohibitory
law will be enforced here as thoroughly as any
other of our laws. 1t will not take all alco-
holic drinks out of the city, nor stop their use
as a beverage but l doubt not that its effects
will be seen and felt in the improved morals
and health of our city. Mayor Wood, with
all the praise that has been lavished upon him,
as an energetic and efficient officer has SEEM
ingly attempted many things which have PROV
ed utter failures For instance, Sunday tip
ping is as general and pernicious now as ever,
notwithstanding the vigilant police with their
strict orders, and the streets of GIL evening
never showed SO much Haunting prostitution
in the full glare of the lamps as at the present
time although whole crowds of the "fair frair'
have been swept into limbo everal times, and
the gambling houses quietly and securely carry
on their work of ruin as in days OF yore, be-
fore ever Fernando Wood thought of plan-
ming descent upon them at 10 o'clock, Pm.
II is said that he will take the responsibility
of refusing to execute the new law on the 4tb
in that case it is said that the Governor
will order out the militia, and attend to mat
tiers in person. Of this know nothing
it is mere rumor. We may have trouble here

colder skies had forced into this month, which

Toned upon model of olden time May Day
observances. A pole, streaming gaily with
garands and many colored ribbons, had been
erected in the midst of beautiful green, dotted
with fantastic bowers of leafy boughs, freshly
cut from the neighboring groves, with rustic
seats of turf for the elder folk, and throne
for the graceful girl whom the swat ms of those
parts had chosen queen by acclamation.-

glance of her loyal subjects, and gave my
piaudits to some pretty verses she read with a
voice, upon the fitness of greeting
the merry Month of May with song and
dance and lightsome hearts, she standing the
while blushingly among her circling maids of
honor like full blown rose among opening
buds, and then laughed with hearty conten
