13 cents; Columbia, 11 to 122 : Charlotte, 9 to 10; ; York, 11} to 13! Notice the figures! Is York behind ? The receipts of Bacon and Lard in this place for ten days, has been fully 23,000 pounds, nearly all of which lias been taken by the trade. . Aud now Messrs. Editor?, I would ask your learnrd correspondent to point out a single article of country produce, on which we do not "bid up" J to its full value. What arc we buyiug here that j " will ever pay out ? If there is one article that will do it, I am ignorant of the fact. This is a bad state of affairs but it is so. Your correspondent, also alludes to the bad ; road?the Laurels between Morganton and Yorkville and to the Lincolnton and Charlotte plank road as operating powerfully to take trade from I York (where in properly belongs) to Charlotte.? ; In this I agree with him. A plank road from Morganton here, would do wonders for York, and | if North Carolina will do her part, this road can j and will be built. But your correspondent is mis- | taken in supposing that all the trade is going to Charlotte and none here?that our trade is decreasing ; on the contrary, our trade is-decidedly on the increase. Three years*go, the produce merchants of Charlotte, with the most reckless desperation, bid outrageous prices, trade flowed into it from every quarter?York was deserted. Well, what followed ? A general explosion?a complete 'bust up," thousands of dollars were lost ; families made destitute ; then the reaction took place, produce came down to a paying figure and the trade which was forced there at so great a cost, is gradually finding its way back to its proper channels, and now Messrs. Editors, when our merchants I are straining every nerve to woo back this trade; when prices are paid which must result in loss if "to the buyer," when Salt is sold at cost, and less than cost, your unterrified correspondent stands j , off coolly (out of harms way) and says, why don't j you "bid up." But enough for the present; another time perhaps, I may haTe something to say. PRODUCE. For the Yorkville Enquirer. A CARD. The misunderstanding between A. Whyte and j A. S. Wallace, Esq., has been amicably and ' honorably adjusted. (Signed.) L D. WITHERSPOOX, , R. A. SPRINGS, Yorkville. March 10,1857. Mutual Friends, j TERRIBLE RAILROAD ACCIDENT. The regular passenger train between Toronto and Hamilton, Canada, on the Great Western Railroad, ran off the track at a bridge near Hamilton, on the 12th instant, and caused a terrible loss of life. Two first class coaches were precipitated from the bridge into the water below, a distance of forty feet. The scene which followed is indescribable. Sixty-eight persons perished instantly in the fearful crush. Among the killed are Samuel Zimmerman, Esq., the great banker; Mr. Street, the eminent millionaire of Niagara Falls, with his sister and mother-in-law. Thomas C. Kacklin is also reported among the killed. Only fifteen passengers escaped from the wreck alive ; five of whom have since died. Several Americans are known to have been on the traiu. ELEGANT POETRY. A sort of "cat o' nine tails," down in Chester, has been "sloshing about," of late, and in his wild gyrations has administtred to each and every qne of the individuals composing that venerable esthetic corporation, yclept the "Muses," a most tremendous blow. The Standard says, and we think the man is correct in this instance, that the writer has some pretensions, and, accordingly, the "pome" has already been set to music. Sing it out, dear reader; and by the air of the melody, take the sentiment to heart:? I'm just from the South, and I bring you all the news, T'-, Imlf n rtnllnr rifrlil Siillflie in 111V sllOCS. Its much difference between you iiud I? Its big pig, little pig, root hog or die. The dandies, uow-a-days, they come out so very grand, With Shanghai coat and glove upon the hand. With a high standing collar that reaches to the sky. They go in the sun, shade, root hog or die. The ladies, now-a-days, they dress so very gay, With their hoop skirts promenading the whole day, With their bonnets on their shoulders and their noses in the sky? They go it in the sun, shade, root pig or die. The people now-a-days, they jhave got so very nice, They can't drink liquor, without having some ice. They turn up the bottle and they make the liquor flyBy and by, its bound to make them root hog or die. THE FLORIDA CAMPAIGN. A Key West correspondent of the Charleston Standard, in a letter dated the 10th, furnishes the following paragraph in relation to the progress of Gen. Harney's operations in Florida :? The U. S. sUnni&ip Fashion, Capt. Smith, arrived the morning of the 6th from Fort Dallas.? By her we learn that two companies U. S. Artillery had arrived a few days previous from Fort Myers, on the west coast, in a half starving Condition. The everglades were dry and could not be crossed. The troops followed the beach and saw no Indians. Thus far little has been accomplished towards the removal of the remainder, as far as we can judge at this distance from the seat of war. The lowness of water in the everglades has prevented any canoe expedition from approaching the Indian villages situated upon the islands; and the Indians have bceu able to keep beyond the reach of the troops. Until the heavy rains set in, nothing of consequence cau bo done. Gen. Harney has disposed of his forces in such a manner as to be able to take advantage of the first rise of the water, when we may expect to hear favorable accounts from the gallant troops under his command. REPUBLICANISM. Mr. Yeadon, of the Courier, was one of the counsel for the Plaintiff in the case of Dr. Gibbes ? .L- n:.? r>???:i ?< rvi.,mk;? . CJ LUVJ \jltJ vuuuwii Vl vv/iuiuuiu | nuu uuuug it 10 stay in the metropolis furnished to the Courier his usual quantum of mixed-up correspondence. Of course every paragraph is spicy and decidedly readable ; but the following is particularly so, describing, inter alia, one of the thousand incidents of every-day occurrence?commentaries upon the most striking characteristic of this Republican system of ours :? On entering the Court House, I was induced confidently to expect that the Court would soon plunge into the case of R. W. Gibbes vs. E. J. Arthur and John Burdell, for assault and battery, with damages laid at $1<),0'IO, in which I had come to take a hand; but my budding hopes were soon nipped and withered by the killing frost of i disappointment. A short case was first taken up, J that of John Kinsler vs. The Town Council of Columbia, for some ten thousand of brick. On the part of the Plaintiff was that grave, staid and eminent lawyer, Edmund Bellinger, Esq., and, on the other side, was II. Walker Adams, Esq., a j'oung advocate, the son of Ex-Governor Adams. By a curious coincidence, Ex-Governor Adams was the foreman of the jury?yes, as a striking illustration of the working of our republican in- I stitutions, lie, who was but yesterday the foremost | man of the State, was now but foreman of the jury?and lie had the signal virtue to render a : verdict, exceeding five hundred dollars, against ! the Town Council, in spite of a clever and ingeui- ! ous maiden speech from his own young and pro- I missing scion, coming down on the defendant like a thousand of brick. The only principle involv- j ed and decided in the case was, that the plaintiff, ! who was a brick-maker, but not eithcra mechanic I or linndi-craftsman, bad a wright to prove his case by book entry. On the close of this ca.-e, my senior, associate and myself stood really to launch j our bark on the sea of litigation, but an interveniDg case of great magnitude, in both principle and amount, unexpectedly came off, ami, during^ its progress onr shallop remains on the storks. The j case here referred to is that of the State vs. Charles McCullocb, in which the State sues the i defendant on a bond in the penalty of $45,000, ' condition for the faithful performance of the mason's work, and the furnishing of good materials for the same, for the building of the New State _ Capitol, which was condemned and demolished, in consequence of incurable defects in both construction and material. The defendant files a J discount of $5G,000 and claims a large balance in ^ lii-- favor. The case i< conducted for the State by Simeon Fair, Esq State Solicitor for tbe Middle ' Circuit, and by .Tolin Bau-kett and Edmund B-l- y linger, E-qrs., for the defendant. It is worthy ' of remark that the State which has certainly , ' pulled down a wall, uay four walls, and subverted ' a foundation in this case, is represented by ouc ? (Simeon) who, Scripture tells us 4'in his self-will, digged down a wall," but who will doubtless not- ( withstanding prove a fair adversary to both the 1 iron sided Edmund and the well stored Bauskct, ' opposed to him, Spnrtaiilmvg nml Union Railroad. ? e are not 111 possession 01 me luruiui jmieceu- i inps of the special meeting of this road, held on the oth and Oth inst. From private, but reliable sources, we lean, that a confession of judgment, | for $200,000, was executed to Davis Goudclock, j Esq., for the benefit of the creditors, with a stay j until February, 1858. In the meantime, the President nnd Directors are authorized to use the i assests of the Company?$117,000 privato unpaid instalments, and S50.000 subscription of the State J in bonds of the Greenville and Columbia Road? j to prosecute the work as far as possible. At the j next session, application will be made to the Legislature to endorse the bonds of the Company to the amount of $7,500 per mile?the money obtained on such eudorsed bonds to be expended in iron nnd track-laying. Should the State lend her credit to the road, ns asked, the confession to be null and void, otherwise to remain in full force and virtue. We further learn that John Coldwell, Esq., President of the South Carolina Railroad, was present, taking an active suggestive part in the meeting, nnd that nearly all their propositions were the result of his practical capacity. Mr. Coldwell urged and cheered the road forward, and \ expressed entire confidence in the ultimate completion of the work. We hope his bright anticipations may be realized, and that the State will lend her aid to the road in the way desired. On completion, without doubt, the road will pay handsomely, and it would be a crying shame to sink $800,000 in failure, where $200,000 or $300,000 more will extend the road to this point, and pay a handsome income on the investment?Spartan. A Singular Case?Supposed Trance.?On Friday last, a young lady, named Williams, died suddenly of disease of the heart in Cincinnati, . - ' V l.n.lKnnn I Dill oil sunaay, wneu every ttiiau^uiicuwuau vwu . made for her funeral?when the carriages and ( hearse had arrived and friends assembled, a relative, on approaching the body for the purpose of taking a last farewell of the departed, noticed a verry perceptible flush come over the countenance of the dead, and on placing his " hand over the region of the henrt, he was sur- J prised to find it yet quite warm, notwithstanding . the fact?or supposed fact?that death had oc- j curred three days previous. A number of raedi- s cnl men were at once summoned, who, after a J consultation, advised a postponement of the fu- . neral, and the hearse and carriages were dismiss- j ed. Since that time the body has not at all changed in appearance. The couutenancc continues flushed, and there is considerable warmth perceptible in the region of the heart. Meantime, the family and friends are in the greatest doubt and perplexity, amid conflicting opinious as to the nature of the case. Some, who have ' visited the body, arc coufident that death has actually taken place, while others maintain that the young lady lies in a trance. Hundreds of prople have visited the house daily, drawn there by the singularity of the case.?Cin. Enq.

Few men in an}* community have hoen more lighly esteemed or gone down to tlie grave more reiterated by hi" fellow-citizens, than the subject .f this notice, lie was distinguished through life or those sterling virtues ami remarkable traits of diameter which give a just claim to the confidence ind affection of society. In early life his opportunities of education were xtreroely limited and yet his thirst for knowledge ironiptcd him to educate himself, and to acquire i large amount of information of the most intporarit kind. Commencing the world entirely poor, lis*untiring energy and judicious management, ed to the accumulation of n large fortune. This ;oo was acquired by a fair ayd honest means, without injustice or oppression to others. Perhaps to honest tnan, ever doubted his word or suspectid his integrity. His ardent and generous nff'ec:ions led him to a deep and disinterested concern "or the welfare ofltis country. The rights of tthers lie regarded with uniform justice. The wants of the poor he relieved with the most exemplary benevolence. Tn tln? Fnniilv Circle ho was all that could be expected from an intelligent, geuerous and unmade man. But lie was far from believing tlint bis work was lone, when he had served himself, his family and lis country. His highest excellence) was his Christian character. The evidence of his Piety ivas not found in noisy pretensions, but in thehumjle and conscientious performance of good work?. He was for mnny years a Ruling Elder in the Presbyterian Church, and few men indeed are Tound to seek its welfare with more zeal and sclfienial. His time and influence and property were jheerfully given to its prosperity. The Presbyterian Church in Dallas was built jhiefly by himself, and many other Churches sliarid with his liberal contributions. A life thus adorned by Christian virtues, was dosed, under the sustaining and nnimnting hope if a glorious immortality.
