ACCiDET- ON TOERAIL RoAD.--Wo regret to leart, that an accident, of a serf onr nature, though fortupately'not affecting {he lives or limbs of persons,occurred on the Rail folad on: LMond'ay evening tart. Whaen the slwuward -train ofcars arrived within a mile of Woodstock, the Locomotive ran off tlbo road, and'consequently drew after it the tender, baggage, and, several of tle freigl't cars, Also a car contatuing several .ras horses, belonging to Col.. Hampton. atnd others. A number of cars were shat terod to atoms from the concussion, and several of the horses injured--one or two of them, it is reported, so badly as to lead to the belief that they will be incapacitated .liom any more appearing on the turf. A servant was in the car with the horses, at . the time the accident occurred, but escaped with little or no injury. The horses were taken from the itail Road, and arrived " hero yesterday forenoon. The passengers wore. brought down between d and 4 o'clock yesterday morning, by a Locomotive that was despatched from sown to their assis-. tanco, as soon is information of the occur rence was received. Capt. J. C. Ker the proprietor- of Woodstock, hastened an ex press instantly to town, to give notice of tie misfortune, rnd, with. his usual urbanity, -,and promptituide, allbrded every assistance in his power. It is particularly unfortunate that this cir curmstance should have taken place at this period, as wo fear it may aflfect, somewhat, the sports of the Turf, during the comiing week. We hope, however,that none of Col. II.'s favorite nags have sustritned such dati age as to prevent his engaging in the con tests for the various purses to ho run for. Should he not participate in the week's amusement, the circumstnnce should be a source of much regret to the sporting con munity. Corrcspondcc of the Charleston Cour. -WAssmaNot oN, Feb. 9. In the House this morning. Mlr. Mullen-. herg's resignation of his seat was announced by the Speaker. Mr. Viso expressed his great personal regret at.this annuciation of the intention of Mr. M1. tsMeave the capitol. lie had known that gentleman ever sipce he came into public life, and no-man was his superior in personal amiability o poli tical patience. With great humility and ftirbearance he had borne theburdens of his party; and while ie regretted that t.he gentle uan had escaped the application of his reso lution against the appointment of members to executive office, lhe congratulated) the gentleman on being thus removed from the toil rnd turmoil of polities here and in Pemn sylvania, and being sent to a haven of rest,. far abroad. This speech was followed by some laughter from every part of the Hall. The louse spent the day itfthe cousider ation of private business. '1'Te bill, granting .S103,000 for the payment to the hei-s of Robert Fulton.. of certain claims heretofore imade rigainst the Government by Mr. Ful ton, was discussed at great length, nrd was warmly opposed and earnestly supported Mr. Legare, of S,.C. and Mr. Hoinan, of N.

We have heard It suggested, and We think it very probable, that the duties paid by Mr. Cooke on the importatipn of.his val-. uable property, would be remitted or, re turned to him on applicatloay.to Congress. The cages of .the sufferers by the great. fire in N. York, are worthy, precedents, itich undoubtedly would be followed on the pre sent occabion that offers 'as strong a claim for relief us"any that has over occurred. In our notice of the Fire in - Sunday's Gazette, we.stated that the Mayor in con sequence of the receiptor an anonymous let ter, had " directed a nightly- watch to be kept at the theatre, which had been coutin3 ned to the time of the fire." We hive learned to day, that the direction wvas given to several city oflicers to watch on a par'ti-c ular night specified m the anonymous letter ,as that during which the attempt would be made to burn the Theatre but on the assu rance from Mr. Cp'oko that four persons of his.company, would remain every night in the house, the attendance of the city otli cers tweas not tontinued.

"I have this moment returned from a scene that was truldy harrowing: a human heing in a state of intoxiction, fell into the fire, over which he had been seen reclining, in the absence of the family. and was liter ally baked!! one of his ears was entirely burnt oil' : and some other part of his sys tem was burnt to a cinder, . lie was a youug man, perhaps about thirty years of age-an excellent farm hand, but surren dered himself to the demon of intemperance, and had thus been cut off in the flower of manhood, leaving a wife and child, to be supported, perhaps, by the county. "I was called upon to. hold an inquest, which I did, and after the jury was duly sworn and the witnesses exiunined,-their verdict % as. that he,(James Spencer) 'came to his death by intoxication ; in which state he fell in the fire and was burnt to death.' Melancholyj Catastrophe-Remarbable f delity of a 0g.-Mr. Nicholas Ryerson, a highly respectable citizen of Pa'ckinack, I'assieo dounty N. ,Jersey, was found on residence, crushed to death by a tree which had thlen upon him. lie was out squirrel hunting. anl when finud it appeared that he had taken one squirrel and shot another, whieb in failing lodged upon a tree, which lie felled, and in falling struck another tree, whieb caused it to turn rid fall upon him, bearing haimin to the ground, and cru.hing his body in a micst herrible tmanner'. fle was found w ithI thc tree lying upon him, and his dlog.

A pa;tragrarph is indeed pub-1) lished at New York, of the same paurport as the act-otiiit receivecd here, ail stated to be upon the sante niithiurity, viz. the mavor of the city. But it is not very likely tihat at sneh a mioment of confusiniand dhist ress, the Mayor wvould think of sitting down to write letters to p'er'sons at such distant points while he omitted to write to others more immtediately connected w itha the business of' that city.

CONGlESS. Nothing of very great importance, we believe, has transpired in this hotly since our last report. Perhaps the most interest ing and exciting matter is the charge of cor ruption brought by "the Spy" against a member of Congress, which was introduced to the notice of the !louse by Mr. Wise. Af:er no little discussion, and a speech from Mr. Mzathew L. Davis, who is the reputed "Spy," it was ascertained that the member implicated is not a member of the House, but of the Senate, and lir the want of juris diction, the whole proceeding here dropped. We are somewhat inclined to agree with Mr. IBouldin. that if the ]louse undertakes to investigate all the charges made against its character, it wili soon have no character to investigate.

MIscEllaneous. LITERARf CURaonsTY--We have in our possession the numbers of the Boston Gaz., mnore than a century old. One is dated the 27th July 1734; another 24th September 1733; and the third the Git Septenber 1725; the latter bieing 113 years of age.. The two first are ibout the size of a 10 by 12 pane of glass, and the latter one about 12 by 14. which shows the Gazette to have been on the decline from 1725 to 1734. There are many curious things in these ve terans of .. century, and not among the least is the style in which they are printed and their odd pihraseology. We find in them also, several advertisments of negroes for sale, negroes runaway, &c. which we pub. lish for the gratifieation of our roaders. . (t] Ran-away from Timothv Keeler of Rilgefield in the.

We have passed through two wars, with slave potimiationt as great in proportion to the whites, ns it as now, wntont the slightest detriment fromt it; and if ever the experimnenat shall be nmadaa again. it will be found that our slaves will be to us a source of strength, rather than weakness. Richmond Il'tig The first of these Wars was the Rcvolntiona ry War-and will the WIig be so good as to re caltect.that in that war.
