BAILB0A9 AOCIDIMT^^ *' ONE MAN DEOWMK1) AND FIVE WOUNDED. Columbia, November 23.?The northward bound train or the Chorlotte nnd Columbia Railroad, which left here at 12.10 to-day broke through the trestleover FishingJUrcek, four miles south of Rock Hill. Tho strain waa greatly swollen. The engine and tander roached the oppoaite bank and proceeded to Hook Hill for assistance, The baggago car floated off, nnd it ix supposed the passenger coaches were precipitated into the creek. Columbia, November 23?Midnight?Further accounts report MeAden und Morehcad, of Charlotte, safe, and W. J. Orr and MoLatighlin, of Charlotte, supposed to be drowned. Tho conductor is safe, but is clinging to a tree nhalf * mile down streeiu. One lady is reported drowned. A special train left here ut six l*. M. with President J. 11. Palmer, for the scene of the disaster. The conflicting reports received on Fridqy night as to the extent of tho disaster on the <'hnrl.,ita Columbia ami Aucusta Railroad led to an exaggeration of the actual loss by drown ing. There were ouly Bixtcen persona on bonrd the train, iucluding the couductor nnd other employees, when ihe accident occurred. The ears were crowded on leaving Columbia, as sta - . * je<l iu the ll?jister yesterday morning, but ncarcWibfren, were UcstlHetr filf dfi%Tio\ly Uock Hill, aad the loss of life was considerably lessened thereby, ns crowded cars would have certainly augmented tbe dangers and perils of the situation. The passengers were roscuecf^y 10 o'clock P. M., at which hour conductor IClf^e^a* taken from his perilous posit ioajiauglng tol^o^ranches of a tree, with the surging ;beneath him. The citizens liviag W the vicinity rendered every assistance iu their power, and special praise is given to the colored people for their faithful labors iu this behalf. A colored man named Aleck rescued several persons, riding into the swollen slroatn with hit mules, aud working manfully to save tho Jives of the unfortunuio passengers. Mr. James McLaughlin, of Charlotte, was the only perseu kuowa to be drowned. Ilis bodywas recovered yesterday morning from the wreck. Me belonged to the lirm of McLaughlin A Hon, aad was buying cot ten for his house upon the line of r< ad. E~ , rh" iniureil persons are six iu number, se far as wc can ascertain; nnn~wi\r-t.? e.u.?. . u., Steele, Kock Hill, leg broken ; \V. J. Orr, Charlotte, face cut with glass; Hon. K. Y. McAden, < liarlotte, scratched in race; Mr. KldriUge, r\ew \ork, slightly injured. A Baltimore agent for n eigar establishment had his arui badly bruised, but we did not learn his name. Others hate slight contusions, and all were sufferers to some extent from the watery experience they were compelled to undergo, until a.seistaace reached thein. Tho break in the railroad is a seiious one, and it will require considerable labor to replace ibe truck and the trestle. All of the trestling, including some thirty ?r forty panels, was swept and the track fer some distance ou each side was drawn oot of place by the tishbar fastenings. 'J be trestle was rebuilt nut long ago, and was iuepected receatly by Superintendent Klitie, nnd only Inst week was carefully examined by the road master. Mr. lledell, an old and experienced engineer, crossed the trestlo about tiftecu minutes before the accident took Areet nod weave informed that his atlewtiou jris particularly directed to ditien. The water was al least "four tcct bolow the rails. Major (iill and son crossed with Mr. lledell, and the young mau remarked that the trestle did not sceui to be in perfect line, which iuduccd a closer examination, and Mr. lledell satisfied himself that it was in perfect line in every respect. Mis statement is corroborated by Major (Sill, wo understand. Mr. lledell was connected with the railrod for seventeen years, nnd has been residing near the scene of disaster for several years.

No doubt a large number of people will be here next Monday, to attend the Sheriff's Sales. Never before was there such n large quantity of land advertised fur sale on one day, in this couufy. We, however, are glad to state that by far the largest number of sales are not under Shei iff's Executions. Most of them are estates advertised for partition, or cases of long standing in suit to decide titles. Ilut we did not intend this as an explanatory article, but to notify all persons in arrears for ' the Timet that it will be a good day to call at this office and settle up. And furthermore te state that unless they do so we shall be compelled to stop their paper. It i% no use talking, we must either stop printing tli2 Times or make swlleotions to pay our expenses.

Cass Carpenter, who huvAbeon tried and convicted of embezzlement of' tyl^mblio money, bribery and forgery. On Monday last Judge Tewnseud pronounced the following sentences against the culprits : F. L..Cardozo, to be confined in Richlaud County jail for two years, and pay a fine of $4,000, and at the expiration of two years if the fine i??not paid an additional year of imprisonment/' Robert Smalls, to be confined in the Penitentiary, at hurd labor, for a term of three years. L. Class Carpenter, to be oonfined in the County jail for two years and pay a fine of $1,000. Mr. Melton submitted motions to suspend the execution of the sentences pending the appeal in thq cases of Cardozo and Sinalls, nnd Mr. Conner consenting to them, they were passed. By consent of Mr. Conner, Robert Smalls was allowed to go on bail pending the appeals?the amoudt to be fixed on consultation. Mr*Melton also moved that Cardozo be admitted to bail pending his appeal, belli in the ease in which lie had been sentenced and in the Mr. Conner said he nad no objection to the order, so fur as it related to the present cose, but as to the others he called attention to tho 1*4 in relation to the punishment of the offenses. In three of these cases, the punishment was a fine of from S10.000 to $20,000 each; in one of the others the punishment prescribed eras $5,000 and five years' imprisonment in the penitentiary, and he could net consent that the defendant should be released on any smaller amount in these cases. liy consent, then, the order was made admitting Cardozo to bail in nu amount to be fixed on consultation. Like orders were made by consent in tliecaso of I>. Cass Carpenter. 4 Centa a Week Saved. There are men in this County so menu that they travel from 3 to 5 miles, and back, every Saturday, to hear a .subscriber to the Times read the news in it, rather than pay 4 cents a week aiitTfkllow their fsinilio^ to read it. if that is not the height of meanness, we don't know wlint is. In the first place, they tnennly use what heir neighbors have paid for; in the second place, tliey are too mean to pay I cents a week for a County paper for their families to read; in the third place, they travel from 6 to 12 miles every week to lounge about a I'ost Office aad sponge upon t licit* neighbors to hear the County news thai others have p?i?l for. This ore know to be true ; and our subscriber! tre doing themselves and us a great wrong in allowing it. A wrong to both {of us, beoaust they give a menn excuse to Viundrede. who can afford to subscribe as woll as thcnaseWee, for not subscribing ; t ius robbing the Editor of niauj hundred dollars that be would use to make lh< paper more valuable to the eubeerihnr* esnd flri mete s^isfactory to himself. . ^ ^ ?<^ioi^puuiHy could, and we would enlarge the Timet and make it the best County paper in tlx State, lint we can't do it so long as so many o: our out&crihers allow front ft to 10 men to reati their paper without paying a cent for it. - Fbeioht^ Discriminations. ? Last week wt gave an example from the Columbia lieymter or this subject. As slated there, tlie freight or cotton from Newberry to Columbia has recently been advatfeed front $1.25 a hale to $2.25; bul if cotton iS shipped through Columbia to Charleetom the shipper gets a rebatemriu of the extrf dollar. This piece of extortion that calh for loud aondei^atien?a measure to force the | people of the up-country to trade with Charlesj leu, whether tlfey want to or not.., The Legis lalurc will be'compelled to take the matter oi railroads under consideration, and reliovo (lie peorde of the State frotn such unjust discriminations.?Xeicbtrry Ilcrald. That is no now dodge of the Charleston Rail TO It has made the samo discrimination eftr since the Charlotte and Columbia and Wilmington and Manchester roads were completed. And it will continue to do so, to the detriment ofi the \rbolc upper part of this State, until com peting linos above Columbia arc built.

Those who had thegeuer; I supervision of matters are deserving of much commendation for tho manner in which the various departments were managed. Yet it would be strange if there were not some things objectionable, aud 1 shall take the liberty of expressing n?y disapprobation of tho way in which the cookmy matche* are managed. 1 might touch upon tho horse racing and dog shows, but as these tjiings are not very interesting to me, 1 will say but liitlc about them. When we scacely pick up a paper but what contains a report of a dog with the rubies, or some case of hydrophobia, 1 think it high time some effectual steps were taken to curtail the numbct of worthless dogs, instead of eucouraging the rearing and keeping of more. A good yard dog no sensible pcrsou would object to ; they art useful; but the keeping of a dozen or mert hounds?as 1 know of suiue men who do?ii foolish aud extravagant, to say the least of it. hut what 1 particularly object to is the man ner in which the cooking matches are uianagei at our State and County Fairs, and while object ing weuld rcspeclly draw the uticulion of tbosi whose duly aud pleasure it may be to p^wp&n the printed programmes, to a plan or' "mt'M own,' . which L.thiak.would give more general jiatis IUCTIOD| same time more thoroughly test each contestant' competency as a cook than any plan hitherf adopted, it may seem rather premature li write of this thus early, but as our Fair lias ?i recently closed, and while fresh iu the minds e many, 1 think it best to broach ttie subject now so that those whose busiuess it will be to prcpor the regulations, &c., may have ample time t< digest the subject before the next annual meet ing of the Society, and doubtless improve upo; my plan. The eoeking matches, as heretofore managed arc open to much improvement. Why, the way i is now managed, the real house-keeper?the wif and mother?stunds no chance irI all ! for th< cenlestuuts are limited to such a youthful ag that it is mostly school misses (or if not at schoc they ought to be, judging from their a^e) orvcr yeung ladios ' Just out"?to use a society plirast it is quite true there was no cookiug done a our lute Fair, for a premium, but (Youi what cau learn it was more the fault of the wcutlio than the youthful contestants, who came m jrttpared to cook. It is * fwSfAWHl to dispute, that "tweet sixteen," with sleeve rolled up, showing a plump round and dimple arm, looks vastly more interesting to the *tuas culiue eye than the staid, sober Matron of, pei haps, live aud thirty; but that isjiut the lltiuf If the cooking matches arc designed to awakui the kouse-kecpcr to a more earnest effort to pr< ' pare more pala(able aud digestible dishes fo her household, how very litilo encourageineji dees she receive,V^ion debarred the privilege i contesting her proficiency, simply because sh ( is over age. It is a fact no one, 1 prcsquic,' wi attempt to dispute, that if a general ctyiva'ss < ' all the white ludies who de their own cebkin i was made,?ladies ?.f refinement and inlell I gence, too?there would be a great many nior of the age of d.ior u5 than lb or lb. i stroiq ly object to hunting the contestants to any pin ' ttculuraye; but fearing more might desire t > cook than it would be couvcnient to sui with stoves, it would, 1 think, be a ver seed idea to limit the ego from It to hO or & : WWHril] of fttro npths be fHMtfl^toMfcUo-prv I or wrilleu sUn of Dar>ur. eraetlo alk? ?i?on i , each competitor as lhey take their places to bi f gin the cooking.

Uf course frota 111 I material 1 have uicy tinned a very plain dinn| would be expected, but those whose business i is to prepare the programme could decide o i something different. The bill of fnic shoul i not comprise any very elaborate dishes, bi something which it is supposed any one accui touted to ccoking might understand, ami the f the one wl.o euu, on tho spur of tho momcu i without any previous traiuiug in any two a more dishes, prepare the best meal, shouh be entitled,?and very jutily,?to the premiuu iiut when the bill of litre is given out week before, aiiy+choolgirl who may never have turue ' a hoe cuke before, cau, with Mama to direct au prompt her, soon learn to* cuok. the dishes uaine . in it so wcil that sbe'iuight even excel an oldei mere experienced and inore competent cook, will state, to enforce what I have said, that durin a Fair, not a hundred years ago, uor a bundle in ilea from here, 1 have been informed en go.i ? authority, a young lady came to cook for (It . premium, who brought her biscuit dough wit her, which she had propared at home under th maternal eye, beef steuk all chopped, Ate., pri ? pared, 1 presume, under the suine experiuco ' orb. Of couho, sicecl sixteen w ould stand a prei ty gO^l chance to get the premium ; but wit no previous knowledge of what the bill of far was to l>e, each contestant would, necessaiily have to depend on her morits as a general goo cook, not only on three or four didies but, froi being so well accustomed to the business, woulc like ooe*wbo bad mustered some particular stud) 1 The ready to be examined in any portion of th i 1>ook. 8oinemay exclaim, "thecooking inatche are designed to stimulate the young ladies to b good cook*;" hut 1 havo never yet scan out taut te'r thwart at a County Fnir, or learn all there wh to be learned by preparing a few dishes for ex bib i tien. Experience ami cuinntou sense goes a Ion way in tlio make-up of a good cook. 1 hav never known a first olass cook who lacked then necessary ingredients in her composition. A the cook books iiMlio country could nevpr mak of such an ono unreal, reliableceok/y I s^ppua ' cuiHtnon J fine 4 night becullad a gift, bnt*flie oil i cr rcbouinicadulions caif bo easily acquired; uiu , don't you sec that this would stimulate swet sixteen or eighteen, whichever she may be, t lift the heavy burden of cooking' from oil' th maternal shoulders, to her owff strpnfe and inor uple onesf IfWfce-end iyyuulil be tlid* mean * of teaching her, not only some of the first prir ciples of cooking, but fit her to be a real hel 1 in her home, and show her, also, in after life, hot I to add brightness, comlorl and happiness, to ! home of her own. 1 believe it <jra? "Fanny Fern" who said "Tho way io reach a man's heart was througl the palaf?^?el remark 1 have ofton though quite true, in one sense at least. 1 hav yet to see the very amiable Benedict (o old Bachelor either) who can seat himself wit a placid and serene smile beforo a badly cooke dinner and preserve that angelic cxpressic throughout the repast.
