A SECOND DISASTER ON THE HUDSON Roar

ASCEND DISASTER ON THE HUDSON ROAD.
The mail train which left Albany at four
o'clock Sunday afternoon broke through the
pile Spuytcn Devil Creek at " o'clock Mon
day morning. The train consisted of two
engines, two freight cars, two baggage ears,
and three passenger cars. The first engine
passed over the bridge safely; the second ran
off or broke through the bridge, drawing the
baggage cars, two freight cars, and one pas
sehger ear after them. The engineer and
firemen of the first engine escaped with severe
injuries from scalding. Tho engineer and
fireman of the second engine were carried
down with the wreck about ten feet plunged
into the river, and drowned. Those in the
baggage car were much bruised by the flying
baggage. The passengers, some seventy in
number, were not seriously injured, though
their escape is regarded as little less than
msaculous. The foremost car was turned
partially over, resting at m angle of 45 deg.
from the truck, the lower end beneath the
water. The seats in all the cars were more
or less broken. No passengers were thrown
out, though two jumped through the win
dows upon the ice. Most of them, with some
assistance, canbercd upward among the
fragments of seats; and others got outside,
using the windows rs sort of ladder, and
reached the top Of the embankment, wet,
bruised, chilled, md frightened, but, very
remarkably, with no more serious results.

The WEATHER VISTA comparison
with former seasons indicates that the pres.

Wallace 30 heartily deprecates blending
OF the two interests 10 the disadvantage Of
othess--would be just ms successfully accom-.
plished. So that In every view, the PROPOSE.
ton to transfer is susceptible of insupernLIe
objections Indeed, the fact that those who
advocate the transfer now propose to have ID
hemmed up and hedged in with provisions
and restrictions That would prevent the sale
except on terms injurious to both Com.
panies, Is sufficient argument that II ought
not to be adopted at all.
No one more than ourself can repret the
necessity which has occurred for making the
interests Of the East Tennessee and GEORGIA
Railroad subject of newspaper discussion
ut this time, for we know that such course
seldom results in any substantial advantages
to public enterprise; and seeing that the
matter was reposing quietly in the Legislature,
we had not designed saying any thing more
at present, further than necessary for proper
defence of our own position, but the unex.
pected appearance Of communication from
the President Of the Company in n pubic

there set forth should be regarded abroad,

agents or servants, by being run over by
their locomotives or cars is constitutional
and valid, and embraces as police regulation

sage OF said act-who may commit such us
well as those chartered subsequently thereto.
This act effects an important change in the
common law rule upon the subject, and
makes railroad companies liable for inevitable
accidents in killing stock ,subject to the single
exception provided for in the second section
of said act, which is, that in such cases no
damages shall be recoverable by the owners
Of stock "who may place their stock or pro-
cure the snme to be placed upon said road to
be killed or damaged" 1t is said the counsel
for the railroad companies intend taking tho
case by writ Of error before the Supreme

as occupying position on the bill to amend

The bill to amend the laws on the subject

than gallon, or by the gallon or any larger
quantity when intended TO be drank upon

majority Of the committee, he had reported
the bill to the Senate with recommendation
that 1t pass. Individually, he was opposed
to the details of the bill He was OF those
who thought that more was to be accomplish
ed in the temperance -eform by moral sua.
sion than legal enactment. If a mans self.
respect and pride of character did not re-
strain him in the inordinate use of intoxi-
eating drinks, he confessed he doubted the
efficiency of legislative restrictions. The
temperance cause had fourished most when
withdrawn from the political arena. No one
could deny that lasting injuary was done to
that cause by its connection with politics in
the last canvass. The history of sumptuary
laws, go far rs he bad been able TO keep up
with the subject had not been such as to com.
