CoLxius, Jan. 1.-Night-The Reporter for the Columbus San has just returned from the scene of the Railroad disaster, and reports the following is the list of the killed : Mrs. Leverett and three children from Rapid Patrish, La.-her husband escaped. Mrs. Smith, from Texas ; Two Misses Guy-', from Alabama; Mr. Miller, the Engineer; MJr. Bouche, a Fireman; WY. H. Snell, a train hand. The three latter were from Columbus. All the bodies have been recovered with the exception of Mrs. Leverett's infant. The race horse Moidore was on the train and was killed. The cars fell a distance of thir:y feet, and were smashed up, and emptied most of the passengers into the stream. The first reports were greatly exagg.!rated, al though the true reports of the disaster is appal ling enough. AxOTHER AccIDErT.-We have auothe; item to add to our chapter of accidents. As :ie night train on the Georgia Railroad was within eight miles of this city last night, the truck of the hinkmost car wave way, causing the car to break down and tift partially on one side. There were several ladies in it at the tiue, but fortun. ately there was no injury done, save a few scratch es from the broken glass in the windows.-Con. stitutionalist, 2nd inst. THE SCHOONER SUSAN. MorJs, Ja . sloop has just reached this port from R J and reports that the filli. buster schooner S0 'hichreentlyleft Mobile, had landed all her passengers at a Honduras port, and forthwith prepared to cross the country to the department of Leon in Nicaragua. It appears the arms which some months ago were abstracted from the arsenal at Lemn ate now in the hands of the cemocrats about Chin andego and Subtiaba, who are waiting for the advent of the Americans, in order to declare war against Martinez. Chaves, the relative of Gem'. Valle, was at Octocal, in the cnfines of Nie aragua. All Honduras was ready with a large body of democrats to unite with the Americans. Col.

T':a J~y which is with us in thu country one of the big days of tho year, patred oli ers'wdedhy and hurriedly, and pleasantly enough too. The citizens of Edgefleld were out-in large number,, and many salutations and ten dollar bills were exchang-d. The latter were not however so plentiful as there was rea son to hope. Thme farme~rs must have a great deali of money amongst them; biut it is not yet flowing as f'reehy as it might. Peiyhaps it will come upon the community gradually,- now a little, then a little. And this is better for thue-wiuntryv r--alwvays provided it just happens to comne:.9 the right timo. There was pysiiely enough on sale-dgy to keep people iuaa good umor, but not unopth to mak~e any body particu ~ly exultant. So may 4 coptinise to he, until .se good time a coming (whiic-h some haye !.e..ted is 1859) shall he fully realized ify all. pal The State lBank o: South Carolina has jNe elared a disidend of seventy-five cents per shar'~ THE AFRICANS AGAIN. Arsut the outside of this number was made up and struck off, we discovered that an article frnnm the Winnsburo R1eylater had beau transferred to our irat page, denosuncing'in strong terms the persons con nected with the late importation of African,. Our feelings in the matter do not warrant us in endorsing this harsh degree of censure. Am much as we regret the attempted enterprize, it occurs to us (without knowing any thing certainly about the matter) that it may have originated in some wild spirit of adven ture, having for its object the good of our section. That the step is a mistaken and a culpable one, it seems vain to deny. That it is in open violation of the laws of the country, is also unquestionable-if these Africans irerr bought and are to be sold. The affair may assume a different semblance, if their in truduction has been for the purpose of mere exhibi tion, and to show the capabilities of the present Af. rican race. But this would involve these several con siderations; (Irst) that groat wealth is at the back of the enterprise; (2ndly) that the Africans were not captured but caine of their own thoice; (3dly) that they are not-to be reduced to servitude; (4tbly) that they are to :e fostered by-these amateur adventurers and trained to some voluntary kind of servitude, merely to aid the argument before the South for the repeal of the act of Congress terminatiug the Slave Trade. The proposition In this shape looks like a reduce'a ad absurdam. Yet in any other shape, the scheme is a direct violation of the law, both as to its spirit and its letter. But even granting that there may be grounds of palliation for the work in hand, we do not believe that it has at all struck the chord of popular sympa. thy at the South. We believe it to be a firebrand of dissension. It is to be feared that, if persevered in, it may array brother against broth'er, father against son. Already are the indications pointing to this state of things in our very midst. See the proceed ings of a most respoectable religious society in regard to the matter. Hear the murmuriugs of disapproba. tion. While some, on the other hand, proclaim them selves the friends of the movement, and declare their readiness to sustain tho adventurers and their cause. Does such a beginning promise any good? Does the baud of Providence seem to be guiding the de. moustration for the weal of our section ? We cannot think so with the lights before us; And we warn gon. tlemon to examiie well this whole schome and the consequences that may follow fast upon its obstinate prosecution, before they lend a helping hand in any way to the dangerous experiment. It may not only lose to us our strength in this Confederacy,-our high moral strength,-but it may tear our Southern ranks asunder and incapacitate us for al) ofectivo action in the courso of Southern independence, now and forever.

We of the low country feel that our brethren of the upper districts have aeed in a most unselfish spirit towarde us in the distribution of rewards of talent and merit among our representatives, and we are willing and anilous to meet them on the same generous footing of reciprocity. Already is this con ciliatory disposition reaping its fruits. Our noble metropolis is gaining ground in the affections of the people of the State, as has been evinced by the uni versal expresions of sympathy from all of our sister Distriets-and her summer aosentees, will, in return dock to the Mountains and w-ifering places of their own Carolia-instead of rpending their money among their enemies and traducers. A common feel. ing of interest and brotherkood will urge on both sections to encourage and eltivate this mutual in terchange of courtesies sad hospitalitloes, and thereby to bring about a condition of things which will bind us together indissolulry as sons and daughters of one parent State.

The new building in Friond Street for the Public Schools, will be another ensuring monument to the liberality of the State and 'he zeal of some of her faithful sons in the cause of education. It is located on the vest side of the St et, between Queen and Broad, which places the Scliools within reach of pu pils: from the lower part of te city. It is four stories high. Each of the three 4per loors are divided Into four class rooms, and de large and commodious hall. In thu basement thee are two class-rooms, an entranco hall and stairway,.a library, and committee room. Two very large cisjrns afford a copious sup ply of water. The whole arrangement of the house is considered a great improtement upon the one now in use. The rapid progresswhich has been made in its construction, in the midst of so many obstacles and interruptions, and in spite of the protracted visitation of the fever, with'which our city was afilic ted during the summer and fall, is highly creditable to all concerned in devising'ud perfecting this noble structure.

Wisenait, in company with Philip Ates and John Mays. went into hinehart's store for the purpose of purchasing clothing; they purchased $18 or $20 worth of clothing, and informed Mr. R. that they had received the bill in payment for some iron from a responsible house in this city. The right change was given to them and they departed. On yesterday the bei was ascertained to be counterfeit. Officer Ramsay pursued Ates and Mays, but as they were mounted on a fleet horse and lie in the condition of Richard III. at the battle of Bosworth field, without a horie, they succeeded iii making their escape into South Carolina. The goods purchased were found in Mr. Wisenant's wagon. Wisenant was examin ed before Justices Picquet and Sherron on last night, and bound over to next Superior Court in a bond of $1000. Philip Ates is from York District, S. C., 23 years old, fair complexion, auburn hair, 5 feet 10 inches high, weighs 150 or 160 pounds, riding a gray horse, shod all round. John Mays is from the same place, about the same height and weight, 25 years old, dark complexion, curly hair inclined to bei red, riding on the saimie horse with Ates. They are said to have large quantities of this counterfeit Money in their possession, andthe people gener ally should look out for them; Oflicer Ramsay deserves credit for his promptnius and efficity in making the arrest.-Augusta Dispatch, 30 ult. fr Punch says " A woman will tolerate tobacco-smoke in a man she likes, and even say she likes it; and yet, curiously enough, how she dislikes it in a man she dislikes !" Robert Hall did not lose the power of retort even in madness. A condoler with his misfor tunes once visited hinr in the mad-house, and said, in a whining tone, " What brought you here, Mr. -Hall ?" Hall significantly touched his brow with his finger, and replied, " What'll never bring you, sir-too much brain." HYMENEAL.
