RAILROAD ACCIDENT.-The engine on tho An-1 derson branch was thrown from the track and bad- | ly disabled, near Belton, on Saturday afternoon. We Lave net learned the particulars. [Anderson Appeal. ?Ti il m C. Miller has been appointed Postmaster! at C aroniqafc, Pickchs District. Thomas White- | sides, Esq., of York District, S. C., has beeu ap? pointed by the G vernor Agent for the Catawba Indiana. This-tribe numbers souio forty males. The Legislature made an appropriation at the last session of S1200 for supplying thc wants of these Indians.-Columbia Carolinian. Georgia. Items. THE PRICES OF PROVISIONS.-Information from the most important centres of trade and from the best informed sources indicates % decided and steady depression in the general provision market throughout thc country. Taking tho condition of the three important markets of New York, Cincin? nati and Chicago, we find the tendency to decline in nearly every article of "provision uniform and steady, ?nd, unless there should he an expected increase of the foreign demand for breadstuffs, the market value of Hour and corn will bo consid? erably reduced in a short time.-Savannah News. A GOOD MAN HAS FALLEN.-It is with pain that we announce the death of ono of our most esteem? ed and respected citizens, Thomas W. Flemiijg, Esq., who died in this city yesterday afternoon at half-past two o'clock, after a lingering illness of several weeks. Mr. Fleming has been intimately connected with the trade of this city for many years, having been extensively engaged in tho produce and commission business, and was known by all with whom he had business relations as a merchant of enlarged and liberal views and of the strictest integrity. The death of such a man is a great loss to any commu? nity; and moro especially at a time like this, when the foundations of our social system are rocked to their base, and mercantile honor and probity arc becoming less rigid and inflexible than in the ear? lier and botter days of tho Republic. As a business man, Mr. Fleming was energetic, faithful, industrious, prompt, and strictly honora? ble; as a member of society, he was generous, public-spirited and benevolent; in his domestic relations, gei-tle, affectionate, tender and confid? ing. It was our good fortune to have known him well and intimately during the last few years, and it affords us a melancholy pleasure to record this public tribute to his fine and manly character. [Augusta Constitutionalist, North Carolina Items. MORE THIEVING.-W? learn that Mrs. Eliza Herriet, of Pcliocksville, was robbed on Thursday night last, of several hundred pounds of bacon and pork, together with quite an amount of other provisions, which she had collected on her farm. Mrs. Herriet is a widow lady, and bas no protec? tion. The robbery is supposed to have been com? mitted by a band of negroes. Our informant states that there has been considerable activity among the colored population in that vicinity, and unusu? al travelling upon the country roads." We hope our Police will keep on th alert for the perpetrators of th's robbery, as it is thought they came in this direction. [N?u??ern Journal of Commerce. IN??NPL\BI.CM RAMPANT.-Ihc barn and sheds of Lieut. W. K. Hammond, on Blount'a Creek, Beau? fort county, were entirely destroyed by ?re on Saturday night last, about 10 P. M.* A buggy,har? ness, and near 3000 pounds of tmginned cotton were burned in the buildings. It is supposed the incendiaries scattered turpentine about the floor and then ignited it, as the names enveloped every? thing iu a very few minutes. Lieut. Hammond's loss was about $1400. This is the second time the same establishment has been destroyed by an incendiary. [Newbern Journal of Commerce. On yesterday week, as we learn, a difficulty oc? curred at Halifax between Mr. John Ponton, a well known citizen of this County, and Thomas Weeks, of Halifax. Weeks cut Mr. Ponton's jaw entirely through from the mouth to the ear. On the Sunday, following Weeks was making some disturbance in the hotel, and on his brother (Redman Weeks) remonstrating with him, he cut him dangerously in two places. We are glad to learn that Redman is now improving. Mr. Ryland, a photographic artist, was also severely wounded hy Thomas Weeks_Weldon Slate. EXTENSIVE COTTON ROBBERY.-We regret to learn that the cotton house of Messrs. Heath & Weatherbee,- across the Trent River, was broken open on Thursday night and 2000 to 3000 pounds of seed cotton was stolen therefrom. We have not heard the particulars, but it sterns that on Thurs? day these gentlemen discharged their watchman, and bid not procured another by night, so that the premises were left unguarded It is hard to think that the labors of one entire summer should he crippled in one night. 'Our readers will remem? ber that it was this same cotton the thieves were after when they attempted to murder the watch? man a few nights ago.-Newbern Commercial. REVS. POWER KVO PBATHEB.-A telegraphic'dis? patch brings us the gratifying intelfigenes that the Rev. W. C. Pow r- ha . been returned as pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church in this city. We congratulate the church and community on this reappointme.it. Mr. P. has made many friends here, both in and out of the church. . We are also much pleased to know that the Rev. J. J. Prather has been assigned to Calvary Mis? sion-a church which he, in conjunction with Rev. John F. Butt, has built up. Mr. P. is a zealous Christian and a useiul man, and will accomplish much good in his field of labor.-Charlotte Times. NEW WAY TO BAISE MONEY.-We are credibly in? formed that a wedding party took pin re in this city a few nights since, among" the 'nipper crzzt" o"i darkeydom, at which a mode'of raisjr;? money to start the newly married pair on. their journey through life, as hovel as it was ing?rions, was adopted The g uests, of whom there w jre a large number, received the usual cards of invitation, but at the door were required to pay an entrance fee ol $5. Cerberus having received his sop, they were permitted to enter the charmed precincts, and aftei getting in were required to expend $5 more foi cakes, candies, ?cc., at a pretty neavy advance OE first cost, the profits on which, as well as the ad? mission fee, were turned over as the perquisites ol the bride and groom. Some of tho guests de? murred to both of these arrangements, "cussed and quit," but the -majority look the requisition! upon their' purses in good part, shelled out th? mopusses, and "went in" with a rush for all th? fun that was to be had. SVhethor they got their money's woith this deponent saith not. [Haleigh Progress. About silk-culture, a correspondent of the Bo? ton Journal writes from Florence, Italy, as fol . lowe : This whole section of country is more or le? engaged in silk-raising. The plains of Lombard} are planted with mulberry orchards, and at th< foot of each mulberry tree yon see a grapevine Very little of. the silk raised is manufactured here there aro a few manufactures of silk goods al Milan, but nearly all pf the raw silk is purchased by Swiss merchants, taken over the Alps to Zuriet and Northern Switzerland, manufactured there and. then shipped to the United States. The American Consul at Milan, Rev. Mr. Clark, informs me that he has been approached by some of th< Milan merchants who desire more intimate com' merci al relations with the United States. The] wonder that tho Americans, who they say are thc most ingenious people on the earth, do not mann facture silk instead of paying the Swiss for doing ii and then paying a heavy duty upon the mauufac tared goode.

Oxon, or in full, Samuel, Lord Bishop of Ox- 1 .ford, has recently written an introduction to a < volume of selections, entitled " Literary Pearls j Strung at Random," which contains, among others, ; the following "pearl:" "Where, O where are the visions of morning. Fresh as the dews of our prime ? Gone, like tenants that'quit without warning, Down the back entry of time !" . How THE LAST AUSTRIAN OFFICES LEFT VENICE. -It was tho last Austrian Governor of Venice, the last Gessler of his race, General Alemann. Thc , quay was thronged* with people-girls, national guards, old men. They made a silent path through them to the water's edge? whence passed the Aus? trian, a bearded man ol iron gray, full of those outward graces which, are learned in his military school, a man wliO could command the execution of Kossuth or Garibaldi with qmet dignity, and go to bed thereafter without remorse. He and his troops, who bad silently sailed away the night precedinc: in tho darkness and without observa? tion, were all of the stolid graciousness which obeys orders w:thout passion, and executes injus- c tice with the deportment of a dancing-master. As ? his gondola passed off, he raised bis hat. A silent \ waving of handkerchiefs from the quay gave him" I c farewell. There was no regret in the soul of any < man or woman thus saluting him, except the natu- t ral solemnity of this polite Meaking of chains and i the flush of freedom tempered for an inst-?t ?it?L the sudden comprehension of its grave responsi- 1 bili ties. His gondolier landed bim> still waving 3 his hand, upon the deck of an Austrian ship. One 1 I gun of adieu sounded over tile lagoon, and Venice ] I contain** n? saldier save her own, no law but the j I free behavior of her people, no flag, or any desig- . I nation. THE Japan Herald of September 29 gives a full J account ot the death of the Tycoon. He died, it j appears, at Osaca, about three weeks previously, , of a disease resembling dropsy, unknown in Eu- \ rope, but to which Japanese are liable, and called , by them kake. The Herald adds: "He was very j inert by nature, and although sympathy is felt for i one dyin, so young, and just as family endear? ments were commencing with him, yet for the good : of the country a much more able man was requi- [ site. This we are led to expect in his successor, ; t?totsbasbi, for whom the Gorogiahave unanimous- : ly voted and made known their choice to the Mika- , do, and Stotsbashi is now in full charge of the government. We have further information to the effect that three powerful daimios, Iwami, Bizen and Inshiu, whose territories'are between. Kioto and Nagato, and who hesitated to join the late Ty? coon, have not only sent in their adherence to Stotsbashi, but also a contingent to aid his cause. The official promulgation of Stotsbashi's appoint? ment is not yet made, owing to much time unne? cessary for going through preliminary forms. There was a rumor 4hat he had been murdered, but it is denied on high authority." AMONO the newspaper gossio in circulation is a statement that Mr. B. P. Shillaber (the famed and famous "Mrs. Partington") is about to dissolve : his connection with the Gazette. Mr. Shillaber has occupied an arduous and responsible post on that paper for many j-ears. As "Mrs. Partington" and her son "Ike," and under other aliases, he has freely contributed those characteristic sayings which, in point of genr?nc^humor, are far above anything of the kind in American literature; they have had many imitators, but never an equal. Mr. Shiliaber's fine poetical taste in selection and com? position have also given the paper a high charac? ter in that department; indeed, he is one of those rare newspaper men, newspaporial by instinct as well as education, who are pithy, ready and quick at any kind of journalistic work, and good ac ali. Mr. Clapp has had an able coadjutor in Mr. Shilla? ber, and in losing his services the Gazette loses what has long been a strong and engaging element in its columns. POULTRY.-The mild weather yesterday was un? favorable for the preservation of the large amount ' of poultry on the market. For several days past , the receipts of turkeys, chickens, and wild game, have been very large, and as much of both was dressed, its liability to serious injury was very i great? We hear that one firm shipped yesterday ; to New York over 1000 pounds of dressed turkeys, I it being impossible to dispose o; them in this i market. One house literally gave away, Tuesday . evening, a large quantity of prairie chickens, that . they might not spoil on their hands. ...... i We learn that an entire car load of game was . received here yesterday afternoon by the Wabash I Road, and that for twenty-four hours previous.y . over twenty tons went through here destined for I the New York market.-Toledo Blade. i -:-? ? ? i SEWARD AND GREELEY.-These men do not ) waste any compliments on each other. A jour ' nalist who was in Washington during the war says that he one day asked Secretary Seward his opin? ion of Horace Greeley. ''Horace Greeley," said Seward, "is a great maa-a man so full of genius . and of such power that if he had a particle of com? mon sense we shoull have to hang nim. But he is a d-d fool and therefore harmless." After com? ing toNew Xork, the journalist, dining with the 3 editor of the Tribune, inquired his opinion of r Seward. "Seward has brains enough,'*" was the 5 reply, "to gov?rn this country. No man has a , clearer or better head; but the trouble with Seward : ia that he is an infernal scoundrel."-Exchange. I THE Chattanooga Committee, now in Cincinnati i for the purpose of procuring aid to construct the , proposed railroad between those two points, are 5 certainly not "drawing it mild" in their induce i menta offered. In then: memorial they say : j It is well known to your Chamber of Commerce, - and particularly well known to our merchants T South, that the railroads leading from the Ohio ? valley through louisville and Nashville to points - south of those cities and the Cumberland moun b tains, that tr i de is taken away from your city by - j the heavy discrimination made in freight in favor I of the above named cities.

PLICATED, and the least bable to get out of order. It makes FOUR DIFFERENT STITCHES: Lock, Knot, Double Lock and Double Knot; each stitch perfect and alike on both sides of the fabric The work wiU feed either to tho right or left without stopping the machine. It will Braid, Tuck, Quilt, Cord, Hem, Fell, Bind, Gather and Stitch on a Ruffle at the same rime, and do all kinds of Stitching required by Families and Manufac? turers. It runs easily, and is almost noiseless. It is the most rapid sewer in the world, making five stitches to each revolution. It uses the same size threads on both sides of the fabric. It oils no dresses, all ito machinery being on top of tho table. Its tension is self-adjusting, and hence not liable to break the thread. THE MACHINES may be seen in operation at HAYDEN'S JEWELRY STORE, corner of King and Hasel streets, where the truth of the abovo will be demonstrated to all who may call.
