The New Jersey Railroad Accident.

terrible collision, causing injury to several per-
sons and the destruction of much valuable property,
occurred on Friday morning, at ten minutes before
nine O'Clock, on the New Jersey Railroad, at the
East Newark station, telegraphic announcement of
which was given in our paper on Saturday. The
New York Post gives the following particulars:
The Washington through train. which would
have left jersey City at ten minutes past eight
o'clock. was half hour behind time in cOnse-
quence of detention on the ferry, and to make
up the time was running at a high rate OF speed
when the wood train discovered approaching

Essex Railroads should pass, when 1t was intended
to cross both roads backing the train into the wood
yard of the New Jersey railroad the north side of
the track. No fagman was sent ahead to warn any
approaching train, and the fog so dense at the
time that it was impossible to see more than O feet

The blame it appears, attaches principally. II not
entirely to the persons the wood train. The WOOD
train, which was heavy one, had nearly stopped.

would have been. The engines were among the
largest on the road. They are named the Governor

President Johnso,,s snaech

The birthday Of Washington was fttingly chosen
for fitting demonstrations iii favor of the Union.
That in this city was triumphant. That at Washing
ton, equally enthusiastic even more significant
for the President himself uttered thoughts that
breathe and words that burn. That great effort of
wisdom and patriotism will secure for him the graft
tude of his country and the appreciation of the
world. When this wonderful speech has been atten-
lively read and disested by the American people,
President johnson will be as firmly established in
their confidence and affections as the most popular
of his predecessors.
There is not point touched in the speech that does
not find response IN unon-loving hearts. Its rebuke
of traitors and demagogues is alike stern and de-
served, The denunciation of Slidel and Toombs for
attempting TO destroy the Union by rebellion, and of
Stevens, Sumner and Phillips for resisting the work
of reconstruction, great it is The in
justice and cruelty of Congress toward Tennessee and
her representatives, is made so clear that all who
run may read"
The Inconsistency and absurdity of declaring. as
we did, tnat States were not out of the Union and
could not be taken out, and after eXpendihg thou
sands Of millions of dollars and deep rivers of blood
to establish that fact, to turn round and say that
States are out Of the Union and shall come in, is
made as clear as the that frightened this m
ing. The lesson of duty toward offending brethren
who acknowledge their ofeuse and promise amend
ment is eloquently and revereDtly impressed. The
interview with President Lincoln, showing what
the views nj the late President the subject
of con stutlona amendments, Is full of instruction
The assurance found in every sentiment and sem
ence ofthiS enlightened speech that the President ad-
heres inhexby to all the principles aYowed during
the rebellion; that he reiterates his solemn convc-
tiOn that treason is crime and that official traitors
should be punished. and that the enemies of the
Union his enemies and its friends his friends is
full of encouragement and will unite and inYigorat
people upon whose Judgment and patr.G;isn ba sr
frankly and conhdingly reposes His faith will saw
him and the country. Indeed, from the 22d dav ~
February Iooi the UNION, with all the stripes and
stars by which 1t is symbolized, is a FIXED FACT
