THE LEGISLATURE. j pi
Monday next, the first sessiou of the Thirty- ! be
fourth Legislature will convene, in our State Gap- , th

Reviewing the action of the last Legislature, th
and taking into account the many sins of "com- an
mission and omission" then committed, we might at
make out a formidable docket of measures to be
entertained and passed upon during the coming th
session. Experience has taught us, iiowever, that M
such an inventory can not be made reliable ; long- Ai
standing grievances and the most urgent reforms te
are most apt to be neglected, and new-fangled and be
unlooked-for notions to become the objects of leg- uj
islative enactments. We shall hazard no prophe- i Tl
oies. te
We shall make it our province to attend during gr
the entire session, and see to it that the readers of co

THE COSMOPOLITAN. ^
We publish the announcement of the "Cosmopo- ^
litan Art Association," an institute now in the ^
third year of successful operation, which has for
its object the promotion of Fine Arts in our country,
the reward of genius, the dissimiuation of lit- ^
erary effort, and the elevation of the public taste
and, per consequence, the public morals. We ^
think we can safely say of the Association, that
it is not a catch-penny affair. It has hitherto
. . su
fulfilled its promises, which provide a ticket in
the distribution of some of the best modern tri- ^
urnphs in Art, a year's subscription'to the "Art

and a beautiful painting or any of the three dollar
Magazines?all for the amount you pay for the

Send to Derby for a copy of the Journal, gratis,
and then give the concern your encouragement.
From a description of the premium picture, "Sat- te

well worth the money.
THE METHODIST CONFERENCE. 10
Our citizens have discharged an agreeable duty
in extending a cordial welcome to the members of
this body, who have taken up a temporary abode
with us, in attendance upon their annual meeting. U1
About one hundred and forty ministers aro pre- P
sent, and, as we anticipated, our iown-life already
exhibits the cheering and agreeable aspect which
the presence of so many intelligent and Christian
gentlemen never fails to impart. Their sojourn w
will, we know, be profitable to us, and ilie least
measure of our duty demands that it be rendered 1
pleasant and profitable to them.
The Conference couvencd in the Court House,
yesterday morning, at nine o'clock, and was or- et
ganized by Bishop Andrew, who made to the tC
clergy a very appropriate address, beautiful es- 01
pecially in its exhibition of the highest virtues of
the Christian character. To ourun-orthodoxeye,
the Bishop appears to be entirely equal to his ex- 1
alted position. With an attractive and yet com- P'
mandiiig presence, he wears about him the manner *C
and employs the speech of, nud looks like, an earnest,
profound and Websterian thinker. We sad- ?
ly mistake, if he shall fail to win the admiration ^
of all who may see and hear him.
No business has yet been transacted which it i P'
would be prop.r for us now to make public. We | P1
shall attend the sessious constant!v, and endeavor, P'
* frt
next week, to make a complete report of the proceedings.
The Conference will meet daily at nine 111
and adjourn at one o'clock. e:
By resolution, the annual sermon to the ministry
by Rev. Dr. Cross has been postponed to Sabbath
evening, at candle-light. The pulpits of the m
several churches in town will be occupied on Sabbath,
morning, afternoon and evening. The Bishop
will preach in the College Ilall, Sabbath morning,
at 11 o'clock.

THE AGRICULTURAL FAIR.
kditorial roRRKRPO.vnr.NCE.
OoLi JiBiA, Wednesday, Nov. 11 ill.
Very much in the condition in which I have ofn
found myself, my dear Enquirer,?with a
ind of topics and a measured space in which to
rite of them, and worn out with the fun and frolk
and trouble attending the gathering of them?
must undertake my first inkling of the "South
irolina Agricultural Fair," now in progress in
alumbia. And first, if the success of this inaug al
effort for the industrial progress of our peoe
can be rated according to the number of ntndants,
you may write it down amongst the
brilliant." Never did the good city of Columbia
cam of such an occasion. "Commencementeek"
always attracts a multitude ; but the crowd
)w on hands, made up of the "bone and sinew,"
ft'ers and excels infinitely both in quantity and
iality. Our train, yesterday, was burdened to
ie utmost, and the pressure was rather increus1
when, on the way, additional cars were coupled
i it. It reminded me of a Northern Railroad
iravan?but unlike it in the lively greetings, the
leerfulness, the joyous and unflagging outburstigs
of friendship and good spirits, which, rclievig
the monotonous din, made the cars almost as
leasant as a fireside, and proved the multitude
i be of Southern, general, home-production. We
iund the city in a condition of surrender?beleaaered
and occupied by a host of guests (permit
ie expression). The Hotels were all full and
rivnte hospitality tasked heavily ; but the good
eoplc are equal to the extraordinary and unexected
burden, and we have all reached a resting[ace.
Mine happens to be in No. 10, of my old
vorite the "American ;" and I leave you to estiate
the "jam" aftor an inventory of my chums?
i-President Col. Wright, Dr. Adams, S. L. Adams,
, L. M. Adams, Esq., Dr. Lindsay and Ed. Byer.?,
.1 York men and all save the last,?married! You
ay think me out of my element; but no, they are
icidcdly agreeable. The truth is?how manied
mtlemen enjoy so hugely their anchorite-mortifiition
is somewhat startling to a hopeful un-mared
man. They make a jolly coterie (hut I have a
>pugnance to a woman-storm, and will change
ic subject.) I trust you have an adequate idea
: the immense crowd now in attendance upon the
air. It exceeds all bounds; and, I am glad to
iv, owes not an inconsiderable portion of its bulk
i York.
A walk of three quarters ot a mue, nortn-westardly,
this morning, brought us to the Fair
rounds, and, very soon, to a commingling with
ie company of ladies and gentlemen who were
aking every nook and corner of the twenty-acre
ot attractive and enjoyable. The tine elfect of
ie view of the Grounds, with the beautifullyanncd
and neatly finished buildings, prepared
i to be pleased. You have already published a
ill description, and I need not enlarge upon it.
couldn't if I would?for my note-book was out
'pluce, to-day, and I was a "victim to general
spressions." Entering at the ticket office (twen-fivc
cents out of pocket), I went along with the
de, passed over a lot of plows and mills and gins,
id through the trotting-course (rather a dangeris
passage, by the way), and brought myself to
ie centre building, a noble edifice, iu which ou
ie first floor and in the galleries were gathered

| "too tedious to mention." It was a elegant pici
ture, all of it?as creditable to the taste and skill
j of our Carolina mothers and sisters, as was their
1 presence there to the acknowledged position Of
Carolina woman in the world-wide galaxy of beaui
ty. The company, "dressed to kill," thronged
this gaily-caparisoned Hall, chatted, flirted, laughed,
looked at and enjoyed the rare collection?all
the more delightfully for the constant gushing.out
of exquisite music?really exquisite music?from
the horns and strings of .the German Band. Silks
and satins and broad-cloth rustled and were in
j juxtaposition, aud hoops undulated. To the mali
cious, it gave savage delight to watch those undu;
lations in the crowd?how the proprietors would
j leave the largest half of themselves behind them|
selves to follow themselves "in the cotfrse of huI
man events!" Though not thus forcibly detained,
i I rivetted myself there for hours; but, just before
leaving, took a stroll in other directions.
j To the right I found a less pretending building,
occupied by an interesting collection of household
' productions, from the farm, the orchard, the dai
i ry, tho hot-house and the tiower-garuen; in tne
| rear*of this, a poultry-shed, made noisy and liidej
ous by domestic fowls ; further to the rear, a long
| row of neat stables for horses and mules and sofortb,
nearly all occupied, extending to the end of
the enclosure ; 011 the opposite side of the grounds
were arranged an equal number of cattle-stalls,
affording shelter for decidedly the most creditable
portion of the stock exhibition; in the centre, between
the stables and stalls, pens were supplied
; for swine, sheep and goats; and in the south-wes|
tern corner, to the left of the centre building, the
; "shop" for the various kinds of machinery, driven
busily all the day by a fifteen-horse-power cn)
giuc. This is nn outline ; but you must fill up tho
I interstices with all manner of samples of fieldj
crops, carriages and buggies and wagons, farming
; uteusils and other out-door contributions, and the
j variant and variegated masses of humanity who,
} crowded out of that centre building, were impar|
ting to the picture all the lively effect of a brilliant
panorama. So much for "general impres:
sions." I will try to be wore particular, to-morrowLast
evening the Agricultural Society convened
in the Hall of Representatives, and was addressed
by the President, Col. A. P. Calhoun. His speech
: is highly commended. This evening, the Hall was
agaiu crowded by one of the best audiences known
to the laud, which was entertained by the address
1 of the annual orator, Gen. Jamison, of Orangeburg.
Tiiis was nn elaborate disquisition, or rather his!
tory, of the Roman system of agriculture; and,
tracing its progress as affected by the establishment,
progress and abolition of Roman Slavery,
' had for a conclusion a cogent and irrefutable vin!
ilionfinn of our own industrial and social system
ns dependant upon and vitally connected with" the
j Southern institution of AfricarkSlavcry. The ap|
peal to the South for a stern and uncompromising
i defence of her citadel and ouly reliance, though
I of a decidedly political cast, was very powerful. As
! the production of a gentleman of fine classical
j and scholarly attainments, wrought out in a
! chnstc and pure style, Gen. Jamison's speech was
successful. My complaint, if I could make any,
! would be directed to the theme, as not the hap:
piest for such an occasion. I had looked for an
I argument to convince us of the necessity of ro
forming our modes of agriculture, and to point to
1 the means for such improvement; and particular|
ly, the agency towards this great end to be exerted
by Agricultural Fairs. But if we jliad henrd
j tho latter, we would have been deprived of the
; former argument; and it is doubtful which would
! have best served us.
It needs but few words to tell the whole story.
I "Cotton is King," says the maxim; and the tyrant
! sways an iron sceptre. And the rule will be over
! us, and we shall be serfs under it, uutil our lands
j are exhausted?worn out. There can be no provj
idence agaiust the destiny. Men's interests conI
trol men's aims and nctions, directly and remote;
ly. While most money can be accumulated by
| the cultivation of cotton, it will be the great staple
| of Southern production, and commercial and manj
ufacturiug enterprise will be stagnant. Tho logic
j of events, enacted through a long series of years
| must illustrate the argument to prove the necosi
sity of a radical change in our industrial* system;
j this alone can furnish the adequate incentive to
j agricultural reform, and suggest the manner and
i means of its perfect attainment. The South will
| never cease to be slave territory; but we must
j await the full realization of our idea of labor, un|
til the reflex tide pours back its stores of capital,
| to enrich the soil and find new channels for its
i again teeming productions. Meantime, it will be
J the province of Agricultural Fairs and similar exI
pedicnts to prepare the way ; to bear up the bur|
deus of our transition-progress; to furnish the api
nliances wherewithal to adorn and throw the
charms of comfort and plenty around our homelife
; to dignify, to ennoble, to refine! Thus may
we greet this occasion as the inauguration of an
annual jubilee, Vrhich may,year after year, impart
increased activity and energy to our industrial,
social nud political development.
After Gen. Jamisou's address (which was ordered
to be published), the Hon. J. Foster Mar|
shall was appointed Orator for the next nnnual
meeting, nud Col. R. J. Gage, of Union, alternate.
Delegates were nominated to the Commercial Conl
vention at Savannah, and to the South Carolina

It is late, and I must hurry away to my charming

Thursday Evening, Nov. 13.
Yesterday and to-day, the several Committees
; appointed to examine contributions and award
, premiums were actively employed in fulfilling their
j heavy and oft-times unpleasant duties. My ex;
ploits in that direction, this morning, after a very
i faithful search for the Committee, were performed
in the npnrtment specially assigned to "Sculpture
j and Painting." This was altogether the handsoin'
est and most attractive feature of the exhibition,
: as the multitude constantly attested. Several pri!
vate collections in the city were put in contribution,
and the walls were adorned by some of the
i best efforts of our best American artists, as well
| as by the more modest productions of home-genI
ius. Dr. It. W. Gibbes contributed several paint:?"
n?\'nniiT si,lit? Tnmnn nnd Brown?
| iUga uj j/v T V??UA|
, among the last, the portraits of General Taylor
' and Col. Dliss. In addition to these, quite a numI
ber of beautiful crayon drawings and fancy painti
ings, chiefly by young ladies from the Barham'
ville school, added greatly to the effect of the ex'
hibition. In assigning premiums, the Committee
j found that but few of these paintings could be included
in the list prescribed by the Society, and
j their awards were given unavoidably, without
j conpetition, to inferior productions. The premiI
urns for tho specimen of Southern Landscape
; painting, from nature, in oil, $20?for best specimen
of Fruit Paintjpg, Silver Medal?and for the
fancy Painting, Silver Medal?were assigned to
Fj. Dovilliers, of the Barhamville Institute. Messrs
Kingsmore and Wearn, of Newberry, received tho
award for photograph portraits in oil; and Mr.
Zealy, of Columbia, for best Daguerreotypes,
Ambrotypes &c. The Photographs were very
j superior pictures, and richly deserved the honorable
mention. Mr. Zealy's pictures are equal to
bis reputation as an artist; bnt I could not refrain
froin a malediction on our friend Schorb, for
allowing {the judgment to be pronounced by default.
He ought by all means to have sent down
i some of his incomparably tine specimens; they
j could not have been excelled this side of the World's
| Fair, London. Busts, in marble, of Washington
j and Calhoun were contributed by Mr. Lewis Fora,
1 a sculptor resident in Charleston; and a handsome
j cast-iron bust of McDuffie, from the foundry of
Glaze k Co., Columbia ; all of which the Committee
(not I) thought below the standard.
Near the Fine Arts department, I stopped to
! admire an exquisitely finished rosewood piano,
manufactured by TIallot & Davis, and from the
music store of Mr. Ramsay. In tone and every
other excellence it is the most superior instrument
I have seen, and does as much credit to Mr. Rumsay's
good judgment in such matters, as to the
workmanship of the manufacturers. He has a
largo assortment of them, and they are all of like
| superior quality. Near by, I was pleased to take
a note of a case of books, from the bindery of Mr.
E. R. Stokes, of Columbia, which, to say the
least, wore fully equal to the best Northern work.
, That such skill could be commanded in our State,
| surprised me. Passing into the "sewing circle,"
I encountered my poet friend Caldwell, with documents
under arm, acting major domo to the ladycommittee
on "Patch-work." The idea struck
me, and I thought of it as the happiest union of
"poetry aad the practjoaT/ I had ever witnessed.
In his department*iitad'Mdecd in the fancy and
needle-work line generally, was made a charming
display of silk, cotton, linen, woolen, wax and
shell work, of all conceivable shapes and for every
! imaginable purpose both ornamental and useful,
all from the dainty fingers of our South Carolina
"fair." I wish I had room to let myself out just
here?the subject demands it, and it would gratify
the coldest heart to do honor where it is so
richly deserved. But you must take the will for
the deed.
One of the curiositios on exhibition in the
Grounds is a bee-hive, invented by Rev. L. L.
| Lnngstroth, of Philadelphia, a very simple and ndi
rairable contrivance. It consists of a square box,
| made of glass if desired, in which are hung eight
or ten moveable frames, which can easily be made
with a jack-knife. The bees attach the comb to
: these frames, and can be robbed of it at any time
' during the season without killing a single bee and
j without any the least danger from them. It allows
you to inspect the operations of the hive:
I furnishes every security against tho Moth ; offers
1 facilities for feeding the bees and preserving them
j in cold weather; permits their safe transportation;
allows you to make the hive iwarming or nonswarming
at pleasure, to supply them with queens
if necessary, and to relieve them of drones; and
enables the stock to be multiplied ad infinitum.?
xms mve seems locuarm ine naugmy msccw mio
the most perfect amiability. Large crowds flock |
cd around the ngcnt, who kept himself busy drivI
ing his swarms from one hive to another, robbing
i them of the most beautiful samples of honey I hare
ever seen, and handling them with entire impuni!
ty. The creatures took the whole proceeding in
good part, and swarmed around the ladies especially
as if they really appreciated the sympathy
which a "fellow-fccliug" should arouse between
them. Did it even stiikc you how much a bee
might resemble a woman ??honey, sting, flowers,
comb, industry, occasional irritability, the queen,
all these (except the last) are ideas in common?
think of it! The price of a right to make and use
this hive is $5, with all the requisite drawings and
instructions, and it can be had by addressing the
patentee, No. 186 Ckcsnnt Street, Philadelphia.
Every farmer in the district, with such facilities,
ought to have his Apiary now. All other patent
bee-hives havo failed to prove satisfactory, but
Langstroth's is certainly above any suspicion of
failure. Why, for ten dollars, ho proposos to send
a hive built in proper style for a parlor or Ledroom
ornawnlIf any of our housewives are
curious to kuow more of it, they would do well to
send for the "Bee-keeper's Manual," which, according
to the circular, costs $1.2-3.
The vehicles on show were chiefly from Columbia
and Charleston?the only exception being from
the manufactory of (Joser, Cox and Markley,
Greenville. I ought to talk of the flue collection
of flowers, fruits, vegetables &c, and the Bantams,
Dorkings, Shanghais, Suinatras, Turkeys, Geese,
and Ducks in the poultry-shed ; but we shall pass
on to the stables. The stock of horses on exhibition
is large and, I think, fine?very creditable to
the "spirit of the times" in our State. Yesterday
and to-day, the trotting courses was made lively
by tho competition of matched horses, and the
judges seemed to be well-nigh nonplussed how to
make their award. Mr. W. A Latta's single-hnr.....
ness liorsc is the only contribution trom our district,
.and, you know, carried himself decidedly in
the direction of a premium. Mr. W. D. Peck, of
Columbia, drove a superb animal; and Mr. T. J.
Robertson, a noble span of dark bays which were
beautiful enough to arouse enthusiasm in the most
indifferent. Of the blooded, brood and farm stock
I had little opportunity of judging; but I learned
enough to assure you that the exhibition was surpassingly
good.
The swine, sheep and goats were lamentably
and unaccountably deficient?scarcely worth a remark.
Col. Summer's Suffolk nnd Essex pigs,
and Dr. Davis* Cashmeres?very good as to
quality?made up the show. The cattle, however,
supplied the deficiency,nnd, as I have before hinted,
made the best exhibition on the grounds. Here
I found another York contribution, from the farm
of Mr. A. B. Springs?three fine Devon Calves ;
Durham cow, calf and heifer; three grade cows,
and one grade bull.. These were oil taken from
the common pasture, and, besides the ravages of
the "army worm," had no benefit from extra
keeping. They nevertheless made a capital showing,
and, especially one extraordinary "milker,'?
had their share of encomiums. Dr. Ford's magnificent
Brahmin cream-white cow and calf were
praised beyond all measure, and deserved it. In
addition to the superb "make" of the creature,
she is said to yield 38 quarts of rich milk daily?
"negro news," however. There were Dcvons from
the farms of Dr. Holt, of Lexington, Brevard
Davidson and Leroy Springs, of Charlotte, N. C.,
Col. Summer, John D. Williams, John N. Ilerndon,
of Newberry, and others ; and a number of
Brahmins, Durhams, Ayreshires and natives. The
Dcvons, I think, deserved most commendation.?
Ordinarily they are not larger than the common
cow; but they are very symmetrically formed,
of a rich red color, and return a better reward for
good keeping, I am told, than any other stock we
have. A few years ought to be sufficient to introduce
them into every good pasture in the State.
The specimens of machinery in the "shop"
were less numerous than might have been expected.
Among others; I must not forget to mention
j the Cotton Wins of our fnenu Simpson, 01 uuesj
ter, which worked admirably and scrred as a capJ
ital advertisement for that really worthy incchaal
ic. In point of speed they are superior?ginning,
i I was informed, ten bales per day with ease; and
they have peculiar improvements which prevent
the "breaking of the roll," and secure the machine
from the depredations of vermin. An accident
which tore one of them into fragments
marred his success somewhat; but I have no doubt
he will take the award, nevertheless. He propoi
ses to try his fortune at the "South Carolina Tn'
stitute Fair," at Charleston, next week, and, 1
j trust, will succeed there, as elsewhere, in bearing
I off the palm. Mr. Simpson deserves a fortune.?
?
I Pity we have not more of such in our State.
| Among the Agricultural implements is a subsoil
plow, made from a model by Mr. R. A.
Springs, of our district. The share is diamondshaped,
sharpened at both ends, convex on one
side and concave on the other, and attached to
, the old colter stock so as to run horizontally. It
1 was at first designed for railroad contracts, but
with some trifling improvements, making a lighter
draught, may be applied to plantation work. A
year or two ago, Mr. Springs had a drawing of
! this plow published in the "Farmer and Planter."
i It caught the eye of Professor Mapes, of New
j York, who at once gave it precedence, pilfered the
idea, and is now manufacturing "Mapes, Patent
i Improved Sub soil Plows" for the world. The
j idea is Mr. Springs , but the Yankee hns, as usual,
J gone ahead in putt ng it to work. Mr. Springs
tells me that Mr Walker made the plow now on
j exhibition; and as it is pronounced to be the best
j idea yet brought out for a sub-soilcr, he may yet
improve me mouei so as 10 --uninc u guou iumg u>
! it." The Scotch iron-plow by Mr. John Anderson,
I and another by J. G. 15. Gill, both of Chester, aro
i much commended. In the same department, I
I noticed a capital contrivance for a pump, combiI
ning the suction nnd force principles, made by
i Messrs. Kellogg and Dodge, Charleston. It can
be worked by a child, and is cheap.
Without taking into account a tithe of the many
note-worthy objects I met with to-day, and with
but "a lick and a promise" mention of those I
! have alluded to, the length of my letter warns
I me-to desist. Ample justice could not be done
| to all the departments, without writing a book.

Friday Evening, Nov. 14.
At three o'clock thi.s afternoon, the Fair closed
i
with the announcement and distribution of prei
miums. This was one of the most interesting of
I all the scenes. An eager and anxious multitude
I gathered around the portico of the west front of
j the centre building, and stood there in a warm sun
I for two long hours, very like criminals awaiting
the verdict of the jury or, more politely speaking,
! as the expectant mistress abides for the fond story
! of her lover. Around the stand was placed a large
- ? 1.1 ?i
! collection 01 eases containing gum uuu sinci imu!
nls, ami plate of every conceivable variety and
j pattern, growing, as each award was announced,
j "small by degrees and beautifully less," and involving
an expenditure of near four thousand
! dollars. Vou cannot, of course, find room for the
entire list of premiums.
Mr. A. B. Springs received the only distinction
l awarded to our district?for the best milking cow,
, $20. Two premiums of $00 each were given to
Mr. R. J. Gage, of Union, for essay on "the best
and most economical mode of resuscitating wornout
Land, based upon actual experiment" (Silver
ritchcr), and on Plantation Hygiene. Mr. Gage,
nomme de plume "llroomsedge," is rated among
the best agricultural writers in the South. The
essays will appear in the Agriculturist. In the
departmcnt'of Field Crops, Dr. J. W. Parker, of
Columbia, reported an extraordinary yield of corn,
grown upon upland?140 bushels, 3 quarts and 1
pint, on the first acre, and 116 bushels, 3 pecks,
on the second ! You will agree with me that this
report, which was accompanied with proper testij
monials, was something uncommon for our region,
j The largest crop of Wheat, on two acres low-land,
| was reported by Dr. A. E. Ci'ook, of Greenville.

RnllRond Accident.
Ou Saturday last, tho passenger train fron
Columbia bound to Charleston, when some niui
miles below Branchville, was thrown from tin
track, and several passengers received injuries
iu the fall. We take the following particulars fron
the Charleston Standard:
Tlin trnin ennvivtimr oT tlifl hftirir?<rf
AUV ""O " O * ""OC'O'
car and four passenger cars, was passing on al
full speed, when the rail broke under the engine,
and the three first passenger cars were throwi
o(T and shattered iuto fragments; bnf strange tc
say, the two last cars passed the break and wer<
stopped on the track beyond the scene of th<
disaster. Our informant, who was in one of th<
cars not thrown off, says the scene was mosl
frightful. Tiio cars were thrown upon theii
sides, the bottoms were broken out, through
which the passengers were seen struggling; tin
ends were stove iu, and it'scemcd impossible thai
any could have escaped uninjured.
The prompest possible assistance was renderec
by those not involved in the disease, and the injuries
were found to have been less than coulti
possibly have been contemplated.
Mr. Oliver Ryan, one of the conductors, son of
Thomas Ryan, of this city, was standing on tlu
platform, and when the crash came, jumped off,
but falling, the car fell on him, and he lay in tl.al
condition until the car could be forced off; during
the time his suffering was intense, and the blood
was forced from his mouth and nose. He was
brought in to this city, however, and it is hoped
he may recover.
Mrs. Means, from Fairfield, was cut in the face,
and the iron railing to the steps of the car, the
j point of which was stove in, passed through hci
dress: but she came 011 to the city, and it is
i thought her injuries are not serious. Mr. Heriot,
| the conductor, was cut on the head and hands,
; and bruised badly, but continued, notwithstandj
ing his own suffering, to make every assistance
! in his power to others. A negro woman was
I crushed badly, and was left at Summerville.?
! About a dozen others were hurt, but uot dangerously;
and, as the ears were badly shattered,
nearly all suffered 9oiue incouvonience from the
disaster.
Our informant says, that, so frightful was the
| appearance presented, that he can scarcely real
j'ize the fact of an escape without more fearful in
[ juries. Rev. Dr. Bachman was one of the pas
! scngers, and wheu the passeugers were all re
lieved and assembled, he offered up a prayer fo:
so providential a deliverance.
The train was delayed for a considerable time
and arrived in Charleston about 8 o'clock las
evening. The accident occurred about twelvi
o'clock in the day. The track was an old one
but as the upper surface of the rail was not brok
en, it could not have been seen if attention hail
to it.
J UCU. OJ.VV J ..
I Among the painful scenes exhibited was tha
of a lady who, having her child in her arms whet
the crash came, threw it out of the window. Ii
fell among some bushes, and when sought for wa:
found uninjured.

1 cents. During the week just brought to a close
; the market has been dull and drooping, and pri
; cos have receded f to j cent on our last quotations
: This state of the market has been brought abou
j in consequence of prices being run up too high oi
this side of the water, and the demand in thi
country up to this time being principally for horn
comsumption, and the amount of cotton goin
forward being too large for the wants of the trad?

, although prices are rather looking down. We
still quote, howeYer, 809} for shoulders, sides
1O}011}; and b .ms 11012 cents; according to
, quality. Peat.?We
have no change to notice in the price
of peas ; and we therefore continue to quote 600
11 Go cents per bushel;
Flour.?The demand for flour is good, but the
? ! stock on sale is large, consequently there is no
i change in prices. We therefore continue to quote
S8.10S7 for common to superfine brands; extra
, family flour $7} per barrel, - / ' S
i Faultier.?The fodder market has been quiet but ,
{ steady, during the whole of the past week, without
