which mat with the following described acetdent
at FV3I Village, Vt.. the other <f#f,
that tbe Bridgeport paper, from which we
copy does; but that is no reason why our
readers should be deprived of the interesting
particulars;
44 Tbe rain, it appears had occasioned a
flood in that locality, and washed away a
v email culvert at tlie spot where the catastrophe
occurred. The supctstructure and rails,
nowever, remained. The engineer (Mr
Sterling) discovered that tbe track had settled
; concluded at onco that the ground and
stone work had been washed away, and
comprehended the danger, bnt it was too
late to stop the train ; quick as thought he
saw it would not do to make attempts to)
stop, and the only chance to save his engine'
from destruction, and hirmelf, hi* fireman
and others from injury, perhaps sudden death,
was to "jump " the breech. In an instant
he ** let on n all his steam. On the engine
bounded, at her utmost speed, and over she
went, quick as lightning, .clear and clean,
with the tender ; but the baggage and forward
passenger car settled into the gap and
turned partly over, and brought the whole
train to a stand. The shock was teirible.?
The engine was turned around square across
the track ; the tender was pitched down an
embankment, and the other cars deposited
here and there, in the most irregular positions
; but, strange to say, not a person had
a bone broken, or a joint dislocated?nil escaped
almost without a bruise or a scratch,
and little damage was sustained by the en
' gine or cars. All things considered, it was
a mo?t remarkable escape, for which much
credit is due to the watchfulness, the presence
of mind, and quick and comprehensive judg
mcnt of the engineer.
Cou Okr.?We see it stated in South i
Carolina journals, that Col. James L. Orr, ?
member of Congres from Spartanburg district,
declines a re election. We are sorry .
to hear this. Col. Orr is a gentleman of 1
brilliant as well as amiable qualities, and lias
been one of the very foremost in the House
of Representatives. lie was the leading
member of the " corruption committee" of '
last session, and has been generally looked 1
to as the probable Democratic nominee for (
Speaker of the next House. If Congross r
could bo made up of men like Col. Orr, it i

Extraordinary Caxixk Instinct.?The
most remarkable instance of instinct or sagacity
in a dog that we remember to have
heard of, occurred in the town of Fairhuven
a few days since, and it was this:
"Two children between the ages of five
and seven years were playing in the middle
of the street, in Fairhaven, when an unloaded
wagon, without a driver, drawn by a runaway
horse, was seen approaching at a furious
rate.
"A large dog. a cross of the Newfoundland
and mastiff breeds, who was lying near, saw
the approaching peril, and going to the
rescue of tho unconscious innocents, took up
by tbeii clothes, in his teeth, first one. of the
children, and deposited the little thing out
of danger on the sidewalk, and then returning
did the saine for the other. As the
wagon was passing, the dog made a spring!
At tlic horse, ami tried to seize him br the
nose, but failed to stop him. We have these
curious facts from a gentleman whose veracity
is unquestionable. Who shall say that
the brute creation is devoid of rational intelligence,
after this?"

is of great ability, nnd displays much learning

Kansas Meeting.
Col. Rakku, of Alabama, made an adIrcss
before the citizens of the village and
dcinity, on Monday evening, in the New
^ourt House, urging tiie importance and
lecessity of contributing money to aid the
fona fide settlers, from the Southern States,
n the Territory of Kansas.
Col. Baker had been to Kansas?said its 1
toil for fertility was unsurpassed, and a more
jenial sky bends not over any land?that

A'eallh were great and exhauslless.

Col. liakeu's address was one of su?h
'oauty and force that he held hi* large au'ilory
enchained for a couple of hours or
nore.
lie concluded his remarks with as hue ]
slid lofty sentiments as we have ever listen- J
>d to, and took his seat amidst deafening apilnuse.
May-DayThe
ceremonies of this time honored fosival
passed otV with unusual demonstrations 1
if joy and gaiety in Greenville. Though
he weather was very inclement, yet, " with
lappy hearts and smiling faces,*' the gently
ailing rain was unheeded, and the threatenngs
of the gathering storm did not cause
ivon the feeblest heart to quail.
The procession was formed in front of

The court room was handsomely decora- j
ed with flowers and evergreens, and a large I
rlntform erected for the young ladies who
>articipated in the ceremonies of the occasion.
At intervals dining the time, the
[jrecnville Hand discoursed sweet and enlivening
music to the crowded hall, and thus
contributed, in an eminent degree, to tire
pleasure of this happy festival. At length
comes the crowning glory of the scene.
Upon the fair brow of Miss Emma Pool is
placed a gaudy chaplet of flowers by her
gentle and loving subjects, and proclaimed

We arrived io Augusta early in the morning,
and took a rost for a fejv hoars at the
Planters' Hotel, one of the best houses in
the city. Being compelled to leave for this
place by the morning trait., we had but little
opportunity for seeing much of the city,
but, judging from the large number of improvements
going up in aud about it, we infer
tbat the city is fast improving in wealth
and commercial importance.
The Baptist Siato Convention has been
in session for several days, but their proceedings
up to the present time has not been
of a very important character.
Miss Stanlkt, the celebrated tragedienne,
has just closed a short engagement in Au
jgustn. She was complimented with respectable
audiences.
This is our first visit to Athens. We had
heard much of the intelligence and enterprise
cf its citizens and the beauty of its fair
daughters long ere we ever saw it, and although
but little time has been allotted for
our stay in the place, we have nevertheless
been fully convinced of the truth of tho first
fact, and were we nt all interested in the in.
vesligntion of the latter, we might become
as fully convinced of its truthfulness.
If we were conversant with the former
history of the affairs of this place, we might
be tilde to form a more correct idea as to its
present and prospective progress. Wo
should say, however, that the evidence*
around us, upon every hand, indicate that
the plnce has but recently received eotne
new impetus iti the way of improvement.
The bridge spanning the Oconee, between
the depot and town, appears to bo of recent
construction, and is, to all intents and purposes,
a most useful, as well as ornamental, improvement
to the place. Considerable busness
is carried on in 14 Broadway." Ilerc
we met several of our old acipiaiutanccs, and
right glad wore we to see thorn. It is gratifying
to the traveler to meet with fiionds,
particularly after having passed several
wearisome days and nights upon a railroad
train, with nothing to disturb the dull mo
notonv of its noise but an indistinct view
of old fields and pine woods, through dusty
panes of glass, until he is aroused by the
conductor informing him that the dinner or
supper house had been reached, which information
always costs the traveler fifty
cents, when he again commences the same
dull route, thinking the keepers of the aforesaid
eating houses have been well paid, and
thanking his stars that he was'nt left when
44 all aboard " was sounded. We have understood
that upwards of one hundred thou
sanci dollars worm of improvements are now ,
going forward and in contemplation by the ,
enterprising citizens of this place. They
are. also, to have a Female College here,
built at an expense of more than twenty
thousand dollars, and it may be taken as
one of the surest and best evidences of a
community's prosperity, whenever we see
flourishing schools and colleges erected and
sustained in their midst. We regret that
lime has not permitted us to view the different
manufactories in the place and its
neighborhood, the Franklin College, and
other places of interest to the traveller and
stranger. We may bo pardoned, however,
in conclusion, for remarking that in our estimation,
this lovely place could make no
improvement that would add more to its
beauty and attraction than by placing iu repair
its streets and pavements. These are

eJ thev would be, nor ft*. well kept up as
wc should think the authorities hero are
able to do. But thin, after all, is a matter
for it* own citizens to think about, and not
for thoee who live from it in anothor State,
and who may have but little interest in her
attaint. Nevertheless, we could but contrast
the condition of things here, in this respect,
with those of Greenville. Candidly, without
much prejudice, we mutt confess that
Greenville is the cleanest place, in the way
of a town, that we ever saw. It would be
well, for those having such matters in charge,
to give Greenville n call, and find out if
what we have said is not, every word of it,
true. ^ ^

Charleston, May 4th, 1857.
Dear Enterprise?It is unusually quiet
fur this season of the year?something almost
unprecedented. At this time there
should be a great number of planters and
buyers from the country in town, but such
is not the case, there being comparatively
but few. The protracted winter and unfarot
able spring are doubtless the causo.
However, thero 3s every prospect of a change
that will produce a revival of commerce, as
we are beginning to experience a strange
amalgamation of all the seasons, which approximates
nearer to a general thaw than
anything we have yet had.
Last Friday witnessed the marriage ceremony
of the Father of llivors to the Atlantic
ocean, at Memphis. The bride was given
away by the Phoenix Fire Company,
from this place, under whoso guardianship,
and snuglr ensconsed in a strong cask, she
was escorted to that place.
Long may they tram in an uninterrupted
flow of connubial bliss, nor the glistening
way of their bridal tour bo raffled by
a ruder force than tlio gentle ripples made
by the evolutions of a steamer's paddle.
Considerable anxiety was entertained for a
while by the friends of those composing the
delegation from this place, iiv consequence!
of a telegraphic despatch, stating that a col- j
lision had occurred between two trains this !
sido of Nashville, on ouo of which were tiie I
but of wliirli 110 n-irtionlnr* i

ascertained that they wero freight trains and i
not as at lirst stated.
A poor, ill-fated being, one of the inmate* ;
of the Roper Hospital, cast off the mortal j

act of charity to place unforlunato beings
who are Hftlictcd with temporary aberration
of mind from delirium tremens, or fiom
whatever cause, where implements of selfdestruction
are within reach.
A woman is on trial in court fur murdering
another by stabbing her to tho heart,
few weeks ago, from moiivea of jealousy.
She committed the deed early in the morning,
when the city was still, and although
she was soon to enter the room with a knife
in her hand, and the woman was hoard to
to cry out, yet it singularly happens that
site was not seen to strike tho blow by her
husband, who was in the woman's room,
but whose hack was turned at tho moment.
The 'Catholic ladies have realised a handsome
" -.in by the fair which closed last week.
The amount is said to reach fullv 88.000.
but if it were ten times that amount it
would not appear large, when we remember
the noble purpose to which it is to be devoted?the
debt of the Orphan House.
A recruiting agency has just been established
here for tho purpose of Indian extinction

CiiATtANOojaiA, U*NNn April 8#,^f867.
I': Friend Frtsm?*??n u?? mr on imj wwy
to the SQUlh-West, rtoppWig here * few days
with my son and .hi* family, and a* I take
notes by the way-side, I thought that a
brief history of Chattanooga might be interesting
to yott and the readors of tl?e Enterprise.
" Tltfs is a new anQ thriving town, having
many ^ga'? advantages in "point of commerce,
And is surrounded with'tl?? most beautiful
mountain scenery. The Look-Out stanJs up
twenty-two hundred <Vet above the surface
>f the Tennessee river, w hich sweeps around
its base; it is an isolated mountain, capped
near the summit by a ledge of sand-stone
rock, in many places near one hundred feet
high, and presenting a front as smooth
and regular as if it were the work of art.
Nature, in its finishing touch, has displayed
the sublimity of good taste, and wielded a
fancy hand which strikes every beholder of
the grand and beautiful with reverential
wonder for the great original First Cause of
tr.ose sublime objects. 1 visited the summit
of the mountnin this morning. It is
tour miles d'stant from Chattanooga, nod
ft 0111 its highest peak wo had an enchanting
view of the surrounding country for inany
miles. The Nashville ltailroad is seen for a
great distanco, and the winding of the Ten
nessee river is traced to its passage at the
such, where it breaks its way through the
mountains below.
The lands ir. the vicinity are very fertile
and very valuable, many thousand acres of
which lends belong to the estnte of the late
Kerr Uovck, of Charleston, S. C. I know
of 110 town where a safer investment in real
estato could be made than here, and, perhaps,
at no future time wilt as good an opportunity
offer as ?t present. Tlio first settlers
have exhausted their capital on improvements,
and many are compelled to sell
to exonerate themselves from debt.
I shall leave hero on Monday night next,
for New Orleans, via Memphis, Teun,
stopping a day or two at the latter place to
attend the great Llail Uoad celebration, and
to cxamiuo the city and the country, tnking
a great interest in progress, whether local
or general, for which 1 am sure I ask
nor desire no more than the self conviction 1
that I have contributed, in some degree, to j
the age in which I have lived. ;
I will write you again after mr arrival in I
, . . . 1

Mkmimiis, Tksn., April 29th, 18o?.
Friend J\?I promised you in my last j
that I would write you from New OrleansJ
i
hut being detained here a day or two, 11
have concluded to give you a brief account!
of this city, the Kwiltoad jubilee, dec. I
arrived here last night, the 28lb, at 11
o'clock, having been detained by a collision
between two freight trains, doing damage to
tho amount of five thousand dollars, and '
cutting oil the fireman's leg. We came up |
to it in a few minutes after it occurred!
T!ie engines were still hot, and they stood like i
two dogs lighting standing upon their hind- .
legs, diving the tender hack into another:
car. and turning one height car entirely off
the track and scattering wheels and cotton j
bales in every direction. It i<i what I never
have seen before in the way of a smushcralion.
The location of Memphis is undulating,
and the soil is composed of n rotten lime*
stone and yellow clay. The city stands in
the midst of deep gullies and ravines, vvimh
are constantly failing off in large lumps or
slides, nnd in wet a* ea liver the mud will strike
you about the eye-brows, aud sticks closer
than a brother.
The river is very low for the season, aud
vegetation is more backward hero than it is
in Greenville, S. (J. Memphis is destined to
become a great commercial town ; there are
at least a dozen llail roads that will center
here, besides the trade of the river, and the

The Memphis and Charleston Railroad is
built, in many places, over very rugged and
poor lands; and, on the other hand, it traverses
some very fertile and highly cultivated
country in tho vicinity of Uuntsville, Courtland
and Tuscombia, Alabama.
A large nnmber of the citizens of Charleston
are here attending the Railroad festival,
and soine of the Charleston Fire Companies
are here with their engines, and I see two
large hogsheads of Atlantio water, which are
to be thrown into the Mississippi by the
Are engines from Charleston, and the same
quantity is to be taken from the river Kero
and mingled with the waters of the Atlantic.
It is to be called a marriage of .be wators,
and I se^ a very targe numbe> of young
ladies (the fulrcet of the fuir) are also here
for^he purpose, no doubt, of seeing wbst
they oan do in the same way.
- Oar tianks have been detained, in consequence
of the Railroad being blocked tip
with the cars by the collision above mentioned,
the baggage cars not being able to
get round them. A telegraphic despatch
was sent to Memphis, and s? accommodation
train came tip to the point and took us to

I thanked him kindly, and rejfflOtiSMjj^
was grateful for his offered kindness
as a stranger, but that I had a resource, naving
a sufficiency for expenses in my purse.
Soutli Carolina, forever, for all that is noble,
generoiM, and courteous. I ain, however,
never without a resource, by dividing my
fund*, when traveling, into three disiiuet
parcel*, so if ono should be lost, or two,
enough is left to carry mc through.
Great preparations Hro making for the
celebration. I s*c a triumphal arch throwtl

bauuers of a different kind xt various distances

their mother gave birth to another
child, whom she brought home with her.? #
Now the question Arisen, if that child, horn

born fiee, how can it be held in slaverpr
here! And was not its introduction in this
country a violation of the law prohibiting

free when slio entered Scotland, but
returning here, she returns to her owners.
The remaining question is, can she enslave
