The cars fella distance of thir:y feet, and were smashed up, and emptied most of he passengers into the stream. The frst reports iwere greatly exaggerated, al though the traiereports of the disaster is appal ling enough. Axorusa AccUIs.-We have another itcn to add to our chapter of accidents. As the night train on the Georgia Railroad ws within eight miles of this city last night, the truck of the hinkmost car gave way, causing the car to break down and til partially on one side.

An outhouse on the premises of Dr. IAawool Buar was burned down during last Thursday night Involying the death of two negro children. It seem to have smulted froms the carelessness of a negro we man in leaving a picee of lightwood projecting Iron the fire to the fleer. This should ho a caution ti others. HIGH WATER. .

SA LE DAY FOR JANUARY. This day, which is~ with us in the country one of the big days of the year, passed off erowdedly and hurriedly, and pleasantly enough too. Tlhe citizens of Edgeleld were out-in large numbers, and many salutations and ten dollar hills were exchanged. The latter were not bowev.e so plentiful as there was rea son to hope. The fa..ers must have a great deal of money amongst them ; iut it is not yet Sowing as freely as it might., Psihaps it will come upon the aommmadity graduaally,.now a little, then a little.

AMa the outside of this number was made p and struck of, we discovered that an artie!. from, the Wransboro Reyiater had been transferred to'our first page, denouncing'in strong terms thi'persons con nected with the late importation of Africans. Our failings in the matter do not warrant us In endorsing this harsh degree of censure. As 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 stop 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 were bought aad are to be soldl. The afair may assume a different semblance, if their in troduction 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 eon -siderations; (irst) that great wealth 4 at the back of the enterprise; (2nodly) that the Afriasms were not captured but came of their own choice; (3dly) that they are notto be reduced to servitude; (4thly) that they are to be fostered by-these amateur adventurers and trained to some voalutary kind of servitude, merely to aid the argument before the South for the repeal of the set of Congress terminating the Slave Trade. The proposition In this shape looks like a reductie 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 irebrand of dissension. It is to be fea-ed that, if persevered In, it may array brother against brother, fath'er against son. Already are the indications pointing to this state of things in our very midst. See the proceedV ings of a most respectable religious society in regard to the matter. Hear the murmurings of disapproba tion. While some, on the other hand, proclaim them. selves the friends of the movement, and declare their readiness to sustain the adventurers and their cause. Does such a beginning promise any good? Does the band of Providence seem to be guiding the de 'monstration for the weal of our section ? We cannot think so with the lights before us; And we warn gen tlemen to examide well this whole scheme 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 effective action in the course of Southernindependende, now and forever - -- NIB0ELLANE0U8 ITEXB. ,40- Hon.
