Averill this morning in reference to the ex tension of the C., S, & N. R. R. from this point toGibson, N. C., ten miles north of here. The Colonel has given the road his personal attention and has ad vanced the construction with all possible rapidity. He is a splendid business man and is uni versally liked. The extension of the road from Bennettsville to Gibson was completed Septem her 22d, and the first freight train passed over that day. The company has a large force of hands now surfacing and bal lasting the track, and will open the line for busines with sched ule trains October 2d. This ex tension connects at Gibson with the Seaboard Air Line, and gives a new route from Chadeston, Sumter, Darlington and Ben nettsville, to Norfolk, Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York. The scheduleof passenger trains will, for the present, be about as follows : Leave Charleston 11:40 p. m., Sumter 3:20 a. m., Darlington 4:45 a. m. ; arrive at Bennettsville 5:40 a. rn., SO as tq^F.deral Soldier.

Mr. McCall lives between Darlington and Flor ence and is well known here. The Florence Messenger gives the following account of his last accident: “It seems from what we c»n learn, that he was sitting on a crosstie near Dargan street when f>2 the !to’clock train came round the Cheraw & Darlington curve. He was not seen by the engineer until it was too late to stop the train, which was run ning at a speed of about fifteen miles an hour. As he made no effort to get away until the en gine was nearly over him, it is to be presumed that he was sleeping at the time His in juries were not serious.” Pianos and organs cheap at the Bookstore.

Riding in front of his men and addressing the guerrilla leaders, Lieut.
