Attempt at Whefletale Murder. The Carolina Times has the following Communication from a passenger on the Greenville cars in relation to the accident fi. on last Saturday: V " Messks. Editors : On Saturday morning. las^about 10 o'clock a. m., the riasscuger irainTrou? Greenville, bound to Columbia, encountered Bcrious difficulties .hi \ Captain J. Cochran's field (about four miles bolovJ Cokesbury Depot) the con6equenec . of the "intentional fentoval of a bar of iron by some person or persons* The spikes wore drawn and placed opposite where, they we're taken out. / The print of the crow-bar is visible on the orosa-ti?,- and also oil the rail. One of the tpikes had the bead broken off, aud several "V of them show where the crow-bar was used, Id consequence of the curve, the engineer, (Mr. Thornloy,) one of the most careful on the road, did not perceivo the difficulty until it was too late to reverse the engine and give warning with -hie whistle -before the occurrence took place. The engine, tender, platform, stock, mail, and baggage cars were thrown off tho track entirely, and the front trucks of tho first passenger car wero also thrown off. The engineer was thrown to the ground, and '' one of th? firemen slightly hurt. The track was very much torn up, but no damage was done to the engine or care. All the passengers fortunately escaped injury. Traces vfero traced from the road to a peach tree, some three hundred yards in the field, supposed to be those of the person or persons who perpetrated the crime. The course pursued was not straight. All clear places in the field seemed to bo avoided, and the tracks appoarcd to be those of a white Man. The cars and passengers were under the management of our fellow-townsman, Mr. Isaacs, the conductor, who did every thing in his power to make the passengers comfortable, and happy while sojourning in the corn-field. aw> ociock p. tn., another engine and cars having been procured, we 6tarted again for our destinntion, but shortly after the engine jumped from the track, when several of the hands, firemen and others, jumped from the cars, aud we regret to state that one of the firemen was Boriously injured, iracturmg doid ancles. ine passengers, generally, escaped without serious injury.

From tho reports of tho Spartanburg papers the recent dinner at that place to Col.

We had marked an account of the proceedings for this issue, but find it crowded out. We have more to say of Col. Orr and his! politics at a future time. A remarkable railroad accident ocurred recently between Boston and Albany. The train was running a down grade; and passing a freight car, which was standing upon a switch track, with a swinging doorshutter hanging open, one whole side of the passenger car was completely taken off.

Rabe, formerly of Greenville, hns recently communicated to. the; Southern Patriot an account of an interesting slave case in Prussia. It appears thaft one' Dr. Ritter carried with him a negro slave from Brazil to Berlin. Some busyrbody abolitionists immediately undertook the slave's release. Not, however, by mob force, as do the abolitionists of this country, but by law. The lower courts liberated the slave; but on carrying the case up to the highest court, he was remanded to bis owner. The decree was that "the lex loci mu6t govern the case; that the plaintiff was a slave according to the law of Brazil, and that it is the duty of Governments to protect foreigners travelling in their country in the possession of their property." The most interesting part of the exhibition on Tuesday was the Connecticut Giant Girl, Miss Campbell, whose name was not in the programme. It is worth a half-day's ride on a donkey, exclusive of the admission fee, to see her and feel of her arm! A dread of. arms, when carried bv handsome young women, has never constituted a particle of our cowardice; but we confess the heavy pieces of artillery carried by Miss Campbell, which lier attendant was pleased to call arms, we shoujd hate to have brought to bear upon our mud fort. They are at least thirty pounders.?ilhe is thirteen years old; quite handsome; very intelligent; and weighs (shades of the giants defend us from the disgrace of doubted veracity 1) four hundred and fifty-eight pounds /? What a waste of sweet female flesh and blood! There is enough, if properly divided, to make three young bachelors miserably happy. ' A friend remarked to us, the other day, that there were two characters be did wish we would expend a little attention upon. hi - ? iney were, postmasters who loan papers from their office before they are taken out by'their proper owners, and tboee who take no paper but depend upon borrowing.

The tremendous gathering, on Tuesday, to witness the exhibition of Bailey's circus and menagerie, it occurred to uf, was a striking illustration of the effect of advertising. Two weeks ago, and how many in this community could have told (hat there was such a company in the State, or even in the world, as Bailey's ? Certainly very few. But about that time the agent comes along for the express purposo of advertising the approach of the, "show." The day is set and arrives, and see what a crowd is gathered ! And what gathered the crowd ? We saw no dingy manuscript notices past cd npon the doors of the shops and stores and mills throughout the Distsict; we heard no boll-crier rending the air with the peals of his bell and stentorian shouts of "the elephant is comingthere was no one canvassing the neighborhood as if to collect census statistics! None of these. The agent came into town, left his announcement with the press, and quietly pursued his way. It heralded it forth ; and the result is, when the appointed time arrives, thousands (we suppose) are here, and the Company carries off perhaps twelve or fifteen hundred dollars. Business men of all classes, if you desire to increase profits, advertise?advertise lib erauy. a liberal support of the press will aid powerfully in building up, not only your I own interests, but every interest of the country. True as woman's love! \Ve would say it, if we expected never to publish another issue of any paper while we live. The subject is, to us, especially suggestive, and we hope to be able at another time to enforce the truth of the proposition upon the minds of our District business men of all classes, hoping that, when convinced, their actions will correspond to the dictates of enlightened judgments. We have not the space just now. [for the independent press.] Another Ticket for Town Council. Messrs.

Several of the citizens of Due West have signified their willingness to assist in making arrangements for the meeting at that place. Greenwood and the citizens of the surrounding neighborhood will give a pick nick, and the public, and especially the ladies, are respectfully invited to attend. We hope our friends at White Hall and Calhoun's Mills will take an interest in the cause and make such arrangement as will induce a general turn out of the citizens.

I presume two hundred npgroes assembled at the Augusta side of the Savannah river, to witness the administration of the rites of baptism to some thirty-five or forty subjects. They congregated on the wharves in a cool retreat under the shade oftwo bridges?the magnificent railroad bridge and the Passenger bridge. There, after a few words of prayer, they commenced the work of immersion, during which time the congregation united in appropriate choruses and livmns, and by way of carrying out the Methodist religion to the extent, several sisters and brothers becamo so overcome with the operation of the spirit, that they broke forth in shouting "glory to God," "Hallelujah," and other like expressions, in such loud tones thatthev were distinctly hoard oil the opposite side. The negroes here have a nice little church, and in Augusta have four, two of them handsome buildings, with colored ministers, who receive a good salary each. Their finest church is under the pastoral charge of a colored minister, who for several years was engaged in jrour office under Mr. D., and there gained his education. The negroes here are truly happy and contented ; they are not oppresseed ; are allowed every liberty, and know uone of the cares which afflict their masters. They dress handsomely, and many of them richly ; a great number of them hire their own time, and seem as free as their owners. It is the general impression at the North that the farther South you go, the more oppressed you find slaves?a false idea alto gather. I find them much more indulged, though there is a limit to that indulgence ; they are not made companious of as at Saratoga Springs. Wo have had aplesant summer so far ; no yellow fever yet., but an abundance of mosquitoes, ?nd with a dozen or more sticking their bills in each elbow, besides a cloud of them around your neck and hands, you may wonder how one can write at all, subject to all these annoyances. How Sparrowgrass Went Down Stairs, One evening Mrs. S. had retired, and I was busy writing, when it struck mo that a glass of ice-water would be palatable. So I took a candle and pitcher and went down to the pump. Our pump is in the kitchen. A country pump in the kitchen is more convenient, but a well with a bucket is certainly more picturesque.?Unfortunately our well water has not been sweet since it was cleaned out. First I had to open a bolted door that leads you in to the basement hall, and then I went to the kitchen door, which proved to be locked. Then I remembered that our girl always carried the key to bed with her, and slept with it under her pillow.?Then I retraced my steps ; bolted the basement door, and went up into the dining room. As is always the case, I found, when I could hot get any water I was thirstier than I supposed I was. Then I thought I would wnke bur girl up. Then I concluded not to do it. Then I thought of the well, but cave that up on account of its flavor. Then I opened the closet door?there was no water there; and then I thought of the dumb waiter 1 The novelty of the idea made mo smile ; I took out two of the movable shelves, stood the pitcher on the bottom of the dumb waiter, got in myself with the lamp; let myself down until I supposed I was within r. loot ofjthe floor below, and then let go 1 We came down 60 suddenly that I was shot out of the apparatus as it it bad been a catapelt; it broke the pitcher, extinguished the lamp, and landed me in the middle of the kitcnen at midnight, with no fire, and the air not much above the zero point. The truth is, I had miscalculated the ditance of the descent?instead of falling one foot I had fallen five. My first impulse was to ascend by the way I came down, but I. found that impracticable.?Then I tried the kitchen door, it was looked ; I tried to force it open; it was made out of two inch stuff, and held its own. Then I hoisted the window, and there-were rigid iron bars.?If I ever felt.angry at anybody, it waawithmyaelf for putting up those bars to please Mrs. Sparrowgra?s. I put them up, not to keep people in but to keep people out. I laid my chfeek againftt the ioe-cold barriers and looked oat at the sky ; not a star and the prisoner of Chilton. ThenT ^ootill was hoarse, and .97 j ? {&"" ruined our preserving kettle with the baker. That hmnorM ?i? <!?" uvy VUV lU tun bark, and between us we made night hideous. Then I thought-1 heard a voice, and listened ?-it was Mrs. Sparrowgrass calling to mo from tho top of the staircase. I tried to> make her hear me, but the dogs united with howl, and growl, and bark, so as to drown my voice, which is naturally plaintive and tender. Besides there were two bolted doors and doubled deafened floors between us; how could she recognize my voice evei* if she did hear it t Mre. Sparrowgrass called once or twice, and then got frightened ; the next thing I heard was a sound as if the roof had fallen in, by which I understood that Mrs. Sparrowgrass was springing ' the rattle. That called out our neighbor, already wide awake. He came to the rear cuo with a bull terrier, Newfoundland pup, a lantern and a revolver. The moment he saw me he shot at me, but fortunately just missed me. I threw myself under the kitchen table and began to expostulate with him but he would not listen to reason. ' In tho excitement I had- forgotten h?? name, and that made matters worse. It was not until he had roused up everybody around, broken in the basement door with an axe, gotten into the kitchen with his savage dogs aud shooting iron, and seized me uy uie couar mat no recognized me?and then wanted me to explain it! But what kind of an explanation could I make him ? I told him that he would have to wait until my mind was composed, and then I would let him understand the whole matter fully. But he never would have had the particulars from mo, for I do not approve of neighbors that shoot at you, break in your door and treat you in your house as if you were a jail bird. Uo knows all about it, however?somebody told him; somebody tells, everybody everything in our village. Putnam.
