MASSACHUSETTS POLITICS.-John Quincy Adams, Jr.,-has been pnt in nomination for Governor , of Massachusetts. The New York Herald (Independent) says: "Yesterday Mr. John Quincy Adams, Jr., was, for the third time, nominated for the office of Governor of Massachu? setts by the Democratic State Conven? tion held at Worcester. In accepting the nomination, ho delivered a speech which will doubtless attract considerable attention in political circles and from the people at large. He declared it the duty of the Democracy to abandon dead issues by accepting the established fact of uni? versal, unqualified suffrage, and to tarn their attention to other and more vital innes. Mr. Adams then referred to these living questions of the day by say? ing that 'the price of coal is an outrage, the duty on iron si swindle and the tariff an abomination.' He spoke of the con? dition of the working classes as being worse than it was in i860, and expressed his belief that a return to hard money was the panacea for existing ills. Re? ferring to the prohibitory liquor law. Mr. Adams was bold in his opposition to it as an infringement upon the personal liberties of the people, and spoke satiri? cally of the manner in which it was en? forced. The resolutions adopted by the Convention are of the same tenor as was the speeoh." The New York Times (Republican) says: "We do not suppose that John Quincy Adams, who has again been nominated by the Democracy for Governor of Mas? sachusetts, has any very great expecta? tion of being elected-even though ha may be supposed to have a better pros? pect than ne had lost year, on acconnt of the liquor prohibition question, which disturbs the Republican party. There have been attempts to bring about a union between the organized 'liquor' interest and the Democracy, but it has not been effected, and it would, in any event, result in failure. In the Republi? can party thero are two factions-one of whioh desires tho nomination of an anti prohibition candidate, while the other is determined to secure a prohibition can? didate. The party is so strong in Mas? sachusetts that it is confident of success, whoever may be its nominee. "This is the third time, successively, in which John Quincy Adams has boen nominated for the Governorship of his native State by ?he Democracy. Though badly beaten twice, he has not yet been discouraged from further efforts. He has had no experience 'in public life, except for a single term as a member of the lower House of the State Legislature. But during his gubernatorial canvass Inst year, and especially during the Southern tour in which he gave so much good advice to the people of the South, he showed himself possessed of a mea? sure of intellect, independence and cou? rage not unworthy tho son of our late distinguished Minister to England, and the descendant of the two Presidents of the United States, who were leaders of our two great historical movements, one for national independence and the other for universal freedom." CONFEDERATE PIC-NIC AT MEMPHIS, TENN.-The Memphis Avalanche, of the 22d instant, has the following: "The grand pic-nic, under the auspices of the Confederate Soldiers' Relief aud Historical Society, whioh came off yes? terday at James* Park, was a most mag? nificent success, and one of the most en? joyable fetes cJiampeire that has ever been given in Memphis. Almost every citi? zen in Memphis felt that something should be done for the relief of the widows and the orphan children of those who had freely given their lives for a lost but not dishonored cause, and, therefore, all were ready to contribute their dollar for the noble objet the so? ciety hos in viow." It is estimated that 5,000 persons were in attendance, and an address ap? propriate to the occasion was delivered by Col. J. B. Hoiskell, the orator of the day. ACCIDENTS ON THE NEW YORK AND NEW HAVEN RAILROAD.-The New York and New Haven Railroad seems to have been beset with misfortunes in the way of killing people during the past week. Five men were killed on Friday night, and another was added to the number on Saturday afternoon. Tho last sad affair occurred at Milford, while the afternoon accommodation train from Bridgeport was waiting for the express train from New York to pass. Tho ac? commodation train was standing on the turn-out, and the persons at tho depot had been warned of the approach of tho express. Just as it appeared coming around the curve, a man ran across the main track to jump on the cars. The express was moving as if borne upon tho wind, and took the unfortunate man as he was crossing the rails, knocking him upon the track and severing his head from his body, cuttiug it to pieces and bruising his body and legs in tho most horrible manner. Tho dissevered parts were scattered along tho track for some ards. The man was apparently a la orer, about thirty years old, but was a stranger to every one at tho depot. At the recent double execution in Memphis, Tenn., the wives of tho con? demned men were present. DEATH OP ONE'OF THE STATE POLICE. On Tuesday of the present week. Charles Mar tia, known in this place as George W. Allen, a member of the State con? stabulary force, came to his death, at the residence of L. L. Goffln, under the fol? lowing circumstances; Allen, or Martin, in company with others of tho constabu? lary force, were loading a Winchester rifle, preparatory to a trip to Anderson Conrt House. In passing tho gnn to Allen, in order that he might remove some obstacle in the way of its im me diato nse, the piece was accidentally dis? charged, the ball entering his-iiead above the right ear, and passing oat on the op - Sosito side, producing almost instant eath. A jury of inquest wan empannel ed by Coroner Jonen, and, after taking the testimony of two witnesses, render? ed a verdict ,cthat the said Charles Mar? tin, alias George W. Allen, came to bis death by the accidental discharge of a gun in the hands of Newlin Mercer," (also a member of the State Police.) [Abbeville Banner. THE GREENVILLE AND COLUMHIA RAIL? ROAD.-The Charleston Courier is in? formed, that the suit in equity against the Greenville and Columbia Railroad Company, for tho foreclosure of the mortgage upon their road, brought by certain holders of their first mortgage bonds, has been settled, to the mutual satisfaction of all parties concerned. An order has been made by the court, now in session in Columbia, (on motion of the sacing creditors,) dismissing the bill. There aro no judgments against the com? pany obtained through the courts of law, and having thus been relieved from the pressure of a harrassing suit, we hope to witness a continued career of prosperity for this valuable road. Its connection with the upper Districts, renders it a useful branch of industry, aud its im? portance to the low and middle Counties, entitles it to our most cordial support. SOMETHING NEW.-A new process for extinguishing fires was exhibited Tues? day afternoon on the battery, New York, in the presence of several distinguished city officials. It is said to have been eminently satisfactory. About thirty barrels filled with combustible material were ignited, and when thoroughly on fire were extinguished by the new pro? cess with great ease and celerity. The invention consists of a chamber of che? micals, through which the water passes and becomes impregnated, and as it strikes the fire it generates carbonic acid, and tho firo is almost instantly smother? ed. It can be applied to any engine now in use. NOSOLOGY IN MASSACUUSEFTS.-A law? yer in .Massachusetts has been sentenced to two months' imprisonment in the common jail for tweaking another law? yer's nose in a railroad car. This is not the first time one lawyer has put an op? ponent's "nose out of joint," but in a Pickwickian sense. The incarcerated lawyer will now have time to reflect upon the danger of allowing his angry passions to rise, and, os a Massachusetts paper remarks, if ho is of a literary turn, he will have leisure for an article on "The tweaking of noses ns a science."

Nausea, want o? appetite, flatulency, oppression after, eating, shooting pains in tho epigastrium, a flushing of the face at meal times, and a furred tongue in the morning, aro among the direct symptoms of indigestion. Constipation, biliousness, head? ache, nervous irritability, physical weakness and low spirits are its almost invariable ac? companiments. All these indications of DYS?

Tb the. People of South Carolina : The above Company was organized in 186C, in consequence of tho wholesale forfeiture of Southern policies by Northern companies. The unparalleled success of tho enterprise has forced several of these companies to restore their Southern policies, from the faot that they could not operate in our midst without the ap? pearance of honesty.
