"■ '..;■• iS6t covMy PANAMA RAILROAD ACCiEENT. Mr. W-aphiotOO Wrigbt, a pas-'ionpor hy tlio Golden Age, publiftlies a tang mial pat (Icular account of this terrible accident in the Alta Cali Jomia, from which wc lulce the following extract, concerning the CAUSE OF TUB ACCIDLXT. The cause of the accident is easy of explanation Its primary origin belongs to the running off at Obispo Bridge of tlie locomotive attached tothe Mail train, making it necessary to unite tha? two passenger trains behind one engine, giving it a burden so heavy and unwieldy as to be scarcely manageable on the grades and curves. Tbe locomotive ofthe mail train ffaa In charge of an engineer, named Williams, whom the superintendent, Mr. Center, found to be incapable of reinstating his machine. Tho superintendent learning that tbere were two engineers among the passengers whose names are Abraham Jones, of Ponglikeepsie. N. Y., anal John Halpin, ot the Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati railroad—he persuaded them to take charge of putting the engine on the track ; this they soon skilfully accomplished. The length and weight ofthe returning passenger train compelled the engineer to run rapidly over level places to obtain a momentum sufficient (o make ihe summit of ascending grades and long curves, which constitute tlie greatest peculiarity of the entire road. The loose nature of the soil, the decaying effect it readily has upou the wooden material used ia the construction ot tbe road and its constant absorption of moisture, endanger every train unless run at a very moderate speed; and the danger is increased by the fact that where the ties begin to soften with rot, destructive insecis lend fli"ii* aid in weakening and consuming the durability ofthe road. Combined, these everlasting agents have destroyed the -hdliesiveness of thi tie spikes, con^rquenlly (lie rails are neither per. maneut nor capable ofany considerable straiu or jar; hence, when the long train had attained a velocity of 28 miles an hour—which was the case at the time ofthe aecident-^tbe ties refused to hold the rail spread apart, the forward trucks of tbe second car sun]; into the slight embankment and the dire event of the day was the result. Notwithstanding these indisputable proof that the Panama railroad—perhaps unavoidable to a par tial degree—is an imperfect thoroughfare.as perilous as it was difficult to construct, it lacks proper care in keeping it in repairs aud caution tn the management of trains always loaded too full of pe>iile. Tbere was a palpable fault, an unpardonable wrong in allowing the unfortunate train of the 6th to be run at the speed it was. No excuse can be oflered in the least calculated to pa- liate the wrong commuted ir remove the opinion that tbe horrible slaughter was accompanied by a recklessness demanding prompt and unanimous public condemnation. INCOHSN'Tfl' A series of accidents attended the departure from \spinwali. First, the boatswain of lbe &eo*ga Law fell from the cars as they were moving out from the town and waa much bruised ; next followed the failure ofthe mail train to pass Obispo Bridge • an engine near Matchin broke a "rook shaft," then came the huge simaeh up, succeeded by the disabling of another locomotive in switch, ing to a sidetrack. Everything tended to make the situation of the uninjured passengers peculiarly unpleasant. It had rainedjust previous to the accident, and as darknesf! approached thick clouds hung over the spot dripping a chilly and penetrating mist, the heated earth sent up a stench putrid with the vapors ofa malarias surface, and the insect host of the marsh set the woods to echoing with tbair varied and discordant biuzing and croaking, while the groaning of the maimed and the sigh ine: and sobbing of those who had lost relatives mingled with the cries of young children whose dead mothers lay gathering upon their distorted lips the cold dampness of night, established and maintained a mournfulness too complete fbr any to withstand its influence. No food, no lights, and universal exhaustion enhanced the gloom prevailing, and each shivering tenant of the crowded cars deemed himself in the most pitiable condition. The appearance of tho crowded cars immediately after tho catastrophe was wonderful and shocking. Deep pools of coagulating blood had formed on the larger pieces of the roofing and panel work, and from the smaller ones the yet warm gore was dropping into the waters of tbe ditches. The force of the crash was tremendous, and the space occupied by the fragments did not appear- large enough to receive, at the same height, the ruins of more than one or two cars. When the trucks hit the ties the whole nine carsshut togeth like so many light boxes compressed into each other, with such startling violence that they were shivered to atoms. Scattered all about the wreck were reeking bodies, some cut and torn asunder at the middle ; some driven into shapes tbat, in any other place, could not have been identified as belonging to mortality ; some twisted as though they were msey cloths, and others piled one upon another, ■.'■'., blood of tbe carnage, [fader 0f» heavy piece of a car, lay a woman folding in her stiff and utuii gled ansa her breatbtara child; under another sat an old in.'.n, upheld lay a splinter pussing through him, his protruding eyr-balls apparently gazing in mute horror at the :iw!\;l scene. Near one of Ihe lo.-^ed rails was a Iiumatn bead nevered qIwD from kinship with the body j a little way on the entire facial part of another hung to the end of a broken tie. andjust beyond the upper portion ofa skull, holding the brain ol it* possessor, clung by the hair to the edge of a ditch, lint, worst of nil, a woman advanced in pregnancy was killed in ft manner whieh exposed throvigh ber wounds Iho unborn child ! Yet in presence of all this there were those who hastened to rob the dead. Several ot (lie passengers were seen to cut oil' money bi-lls and search the pooketi of the killed and helplessly wounded. Some tiuis nfled had large uhos ta gold, besides watabee, rei olvera ud jewels aboul them. While conveying the Injured to town, an add Gtorman, Buffering from ft broken thigh, cut, with a pocket knife, a main artery and bled to death ; preferring to die in tbis way to remaining in the hospital. In searching for the dead around the wreck the foot of a colored man was observed projecting above the ground, his entire body stink en from view. An effort was made to pull it forth, but In the attempt the leg was torn away.— Tli is circumstance causes the writer, who was an eye-witness, to believe that more of the killed still lie imbedded in the soft sand in the vicinity Of the spot where the accident happened. A young infant whose mother ,Mrs. Crowan, was killed, and whose father is supposed to reside in San franoisQO, was found in the ruins unharmed, and given to the women in the remaining cars. They, considering it a burden, passed it from one to another, but finally it disappeared, and was not heard of unlil morning, wdien it was picked up on tbe sea shore in rout, of the town by a French merchant, and placed in care of his wife, who now has it. Six other children, all young, wen left orphans, and came on the Golden Age, dependent on the charities of San Francisco. The dead were buried on tbe morning of tlie 7th, without shroud, or coffin, or funeral service in pits dug near the road, under shadow of Monkey Hill, the rude cemetery where six thousand victims o! Panama disease were placed while the rood was being built. A train was run out from Aspinwall with ail the passengers tbat had gone to town. At the burial pits a few went to see the blackening bodies thrown into the earth. A brief gaze sufficed: and then the train started for the coatat of tbe Pacific. Tbe exact number losing their fives by this fearful calamity will never be known. That fate of many uow mouldering by the dreary roadside, can only be surmised by friends in failing, after a long while, io receive tidings promised at Ihe last parting. So far as cvury circumstance wouhl admit of a close and laborious inquiry, and from the mi st plausible basis, there appears to be little doubt that the number killed, including those who were too badly Injured to long survive, ia nearly one hundred.' The names obtained are as follows : KILLED. William McMillen. Rochester, N. Y. Bartholomew Orowley, do. do. Mrs. Sarah Lancaster. Keokuk, Iowa. Thomas James, Cornwall Englaud. Rv:ui Johnp, do do.

Besides these, there were several known to have been killed, whose names could not be ascerlnineal. among whom were six Germans, comprising e company immigrating from New York, aud three others from the same State ; also seven mores from various localities, and sixteen brcakmen and others, employees on the road, natives of Jamaica and the Isthmus. In enumerating tha' passengers killed, whose names are unknown, no reliance has been placed in rumor, but the Information respecting tbeir fate has been procured direct from the ones wbo had merely a passage acquaint'ince with them, and know of their death. A number of others might be reported as missing, yet there can be no positive evidence that such wero killed, though it is certain that several re mained at Aspinwall to attend tlieir woumled friends. In addition to tho above, there were fifty-eight left at the hospital and the residences of A spin wall. All thus detained were badly hurt, requiring in many cases amputation of the arms and legs, some of the Sufferers having both arnfs broken, and their legs severely braised ; others were frightfully injured about the head and along the spinal column, and some sustained such internal harm as to leave small hopes of tbeir recovery.

Seven eoples ofthli treaty were prepared am parohment, nnder the di- reotlonof M.

After the President and tbo two represen- latives ol the government tc which Ihe copy belonged, the rest rtgm d in alphabetical order. In this manner all questions ol j, nlousy in regard to pn Qedeood waa Avoided, The signing occupied an hour and a half, which is not curious, in view of the foot that tbt re were three hundred and eighly eight flourishes to make. There WOTO seven copies ot the treaty and four tea n names tQ Ik? signed to each, making iu all ninety (tight names. The name of any individual in France holaling a higher position than that oi domestic, signed ni thou tons oi1 two characteristic flourishes, would DO almost without moral force. The traaty was signed with n quill prepared for the aiccasion. ThePienlpotentiarfaea intended each to preserve the qnill with which In' Btgned bis name aud made his flourishes, lint the Fmpress having expressed a desire lo preserve the quill with which the treaty was signed, the Plenipotentiaries acceded tO her wish, and a pen WOJ accordingly prepared for that purpose. An eagle's quill was selected, whlcfa was elegantly mounti'd in gold. Why this be lieose emblt-m was chosen instead Ofa goose quill, does not appear. The visit rendered ny the Plenipotentiaries to the Emperor Immediately after tiie signlcs of tho treaty, was to give and to receive felicitations. Theii- tabor, b waver, la far from being concluded. Couriers started this evening for Constantinople, St. Petershnrgb, Berlin, Vienna, Turld and London, eaoh bearing a copy of the treaty for tho ratification of the monarch ol each ccamtiy. But during the period of* lour weeks which will elapse before the treaty can be rai Hied returned to Peril and given lo the world, a series of minor paainta are to be considered and fiaed by lbe conference. These subsidiary points can be litSCUBSfld even after ths ratification of ilie general treaty. For Instance, n the protocol ol Vienna (the Ezterhazy propositions! the Plenipotentiaries said : " The Hew frontier [of liessarahin] will start from the enyirona el Chotym, -omi will follow tl"? line ot mountains which extends to tbe southeast." A suhseqneiil exnmlna ism shows that thereare nothing but plains when? mono tains were snppOSa '1 io bave been seen. Again, tiie Daouhiata Princi- palitiea were promised an organization in con- formlty tQ their wishes: hal these wishes are yet to be ascertained, and l Imagine that they will ascertain them rather slowly ji'they continue to DttOp tbe eoiirivrs who beat petitions. Again, the navigation of the Danube, tbe rights ol those who live upon Its borders, the keeping of ths? mouths of ibe river, suppose unmet ens regulations which have need of being prepared with time Wid eare by special persons. Toeae are a few of tbe most important details which the Conference will yet hare ta> consider and fix, and they can as well be done after the itgnlng of ihe treaty as before. t-AMAKTlNl'..

liar if she knew her condition.
" I know that my Redeemer liv-

an M lian. You may imagine that
the answer startled me, and with a
few words of like import I turned
from her. A half hour passed, and
she spoke in the same deep, rich
