Terrible Calamity.

lowing extract from a private letter of a
gentleman to a friend in this city:
" Marion*. Ala., Oct. lfith, 1§5
“ I am sorry to pform yofiTin this*
nection. of a v&y sad occurrence which
took place hero on last (Sunday) night,
about 12 o’clock—that is. the burning down
of * Howard College.’ There were sleeping
at the time, in the third and fourth stories
of the building, about 20 or 28 young men
and two negro men ; all of whom were re
quired to jump from the windows, a distance
of from 30 to 40 feet to the ground below.
And, horrible to tell, 22 of the number
were mangled in a frightful manner, some
more and some less. 1 have just come in
from a visit to them -with my very heartsick.
Some of the boys arc burned very badly, in
addition to other injuries. Our town is in
mourning, and looks gloomy enough. I
learned, a few moments since, that one of
the black men was dead ;“he rushed down
through the flames to the door. Two or
three of the boys are expected to die—the
rest will probably recover. There is, how
ever, no knowing exactly the extent of their
injuries. I trust nil things are better than
we now think. The College building, with
everything in it, is in ruins. Nothing was
saved, as 1 understand. It is supposed now
that the building was set on fire, though I
cannot at present 1 .relieve it. Such a fiendish
act could scarcely be perpetrated by any
one in this community. The truth will be
known in a few days, I suppose.’’

It is a source of sincere gratification to
— .- = . us to be able to announce, from the best
will leave for Baden ' and most reliable information that we have
been able to collect, and we have been dili
gent in our inquiries, that there is a marked
and perceptible abatement in the epidemic,
within the last two days, in the number of
new cases. This is of course attributable
to tho continued cool weather. On Monday
we heard of very few cases, and yesterday
we heard of none. This is a great improve
ment, and we hope it may be permanent, of
which we think there is little doubt, if the
weather continues as cool as now. Should

tho Dutch Government: the negotiations for
the acquisition of Cuba: and other matters
are suggested as probable subjects of dis- i

excited on the subject, as it can scarcely be i
supposed that so many diplomats can have i
assembled without pre-concert.
tfjrr-Tiicre is no longer any doubt that an
entire Anti-Nebraska delegation has been 1
elected to Congress from the State of Ohio. !
The delegation consists of twenty-one mcui- j

by loss than 1,500 majority, whilst several,
havo 4,00, one or two 5,O0O, and one not less '
than 7,000 majority. Those majorities are
unprecedented. The majority for the State

A large Newfoundland pup, who rejoices in
the appellation of “Through Tickets,” was
strolling in the back part of the town, when
he encountered' a small boy who had
wandered away from his home, and was
weeping bitterly. “Through Tickets” con
templated the little fellow for a moment, and
reflected upon the propriety of giving him a
free passage home. His generous impulse
prevailed, and seizing the boy gently by the
coat, he urged him along until they chanced
to come to a confectioner’s, when he bought
him two sticks of peppermint candy, and
then conducted him home. We pause for a

the tartness of vraich we* hope our Nash
ville brother typos will pardon for its wit:
—Intelligencer,
“ Every girl in Boston who is old enough
to work in a printing office or any other of
fice has a lover, whom she would be just as
likely to trade off for a Tennessee article as
she would be to swap him off for a grizzly
bear. The idea of a Boston girl, who goes
to operas, patronizes Jullien’s concerts,
waltzes once a week, cats ice cream, rides
in the omnibus, wears satin slippers, some
times kisses the editor, going to Tennessee,
except she goes there as the wife of one of
your first-class citizens, editors excepted, is
truly ridiculous. Wouldn’t a girl in a silk
dress, with lace-edged pantlets and shiney
gaiter boots, look well trudging through the
mud and mire of Nashville to an old barn
of a printing office, while in one comer of
the same room two old darkies arc jerking
away at an old Ramage press, and in the
other the editor is squirting tobacco juice
over the floor ? Wouldn't she be in a* nice
fix when the editor and some great brute of
a fellow whom he offended got playing at
the game of shooting their revolvers across
the office at each other’s heads? Who
would make the fire when the had run
off and the editor was drunk? Who’d go
home with her dark nights ? Who would
take her out to rido on Saturday afternoon,
and go to church with her on Sunday ?—
No, sir; a Boston girl won’t go to Tennes
see for love nor money. She can get enough
of both nearor home.”

News from Europe,
We publish this morning very full details
of European news by the Africa, by the
subsequent arrivals of the Washington,
with four days later advices, and the Niag
ara with three days later news. It will be
seen that the allies, since the battle of Alma,
have gained decided advantages over the
Russians, and have commenced a regular
bombardment of Sebastopol, while Menschi-
koff, with a force of twenty thousand Rus^
sians at last advices, was keeping the field
at some distance North of the city awaiting
reinforcements. How long Sebastopol trill
be able to held out, invested as it is by sea
and land, with the approaches to the city
in possession of the enemy, is, of course,
entirely problematical, though if the Rus
sians make anything like as obstinate a de
fence as the Turks did at Silistria, consid
ering the superiority of Sebastopol as a
military stronghold, we may reasonably ex
pect several weeks to elapse before a capitu
lation, even supposing no further reinforce
ments arrive in the meantime.
•9*A public meeting was held a few days
ago in West Point, Ga., at which a resolu
tion was adopted instructing the Town
Council to subscribe $50,000 to the con
struction of the proposed Railroad from
Columbus to West Point. The Columbus
Times says, in case Lagrange will, follow
suit by rabscribing $100,000, it is author
ized to pledge Columbus to the amount of
$200,000 for the enterprise.
A gentleman informs the N. Y. Daily
Times that “on coming down on the Hudson
River Railroad train, and upon the seat be
hind him sat two rough, brawny, swearing
men; one of whom was rehearsing to the
other in a confidential tone, the manner of
his escape from the wreck of the Arctic.-
He said, among other things, that they did
not mean to let them upper fellows get the
start of them with the beats; and added that
he himself pitched two or three of them out,
to make room for his friends.” It is greatly
to be feared that we have but an imperfect
idea of all the scenes enacted on board that
sinking ship.

The Eyes.—There is a popular notion,
sanctioned even by the medical men, that
tho eyes arc preserved by opening them
every*morning in a basin of cold water.—
Some of the worst cases of peterguim or Aim

practice. When water gets into the wind
pipe, the nostrils, or the ear, irritation is
produced; and the eyes open under water

have concluded to extend it from Americus,
its present terminus, to tho neighborhood of
Gillionville, in Dohgherty county, a distance
of about thirty-five miles, provided a sub
scription of $250,000 is raised by the citi

Recorder says that Col. Bond, of Macon,
succeeded last week in raising fifty thousand

Texas Cotton Crop.—The Galveston

is supposed to be nearly one-third more than
last year, and it is possible that this excess
may make up for the deficiency in the yield,
so as to make the total crop of the State
about what it was last year. Our present
opinion, however, is, that the total crop of
the State will fall short of that of last year.”

New York, Oct. 21.
Among the passengers who arrived by
the Africa yesterday afternoon, were two
persons from Paris whose names arc inti
mately associated with two of the greatest
celebrities of France. They were Jerome
Bonaparte and Felix Raphael. The former,
who is a wealthy resident of Baltimore,
and son of Prince Jerome Bonaparte, by
Miss Elizabeth Patterson, returns from Eu
rope, haring placed his son in the French
army. The young Bonaparte has taken
the same grade there as he held here, hav
ing been made a Lieutenant in the Seventh
Dragoons. He is at present stationed at
St. Cloud, and after a little more prepara
tion, will be turned out a genuine French
officer, ready for active service.
The Emperor of the French has taken a
great fancy to the American Bonaparte’s,
and having made not only an officer, but a
Frenchman of the young Baltimore Bona
parte, he has also succeeded in pursuading
tho father to give up his estates and home
in this country, and remove with most of
his family to France. My informant states
that a princely title awaits Jerome Bona
parte, the republican, and that its glittering
promise has had not a little to do in convin
cing him of the policy of becoming a
Frenchman and a noDleman. No provision,
nor titular honors are in reserve for his
mother, Miss Elizabeth Patterson, so she
will remain in Baltimore. Her illegally
divorced husband, Prince Jerome, has an
other wife, who would prefer to have num
ber one remain on this side the water. The
Bonaparte’s are only mortal after all, and
as easily dazzled by the pomp and promises
of Courts as any of us.

ieir base of operations at
Balakiava on the morning of the 28th, and
were preparing to march without delay upon
Sebastopol. The Agamemnon and outer
vessels of war were in port at Balakiava,
where there are facilities for disembarking
the battering trains. Prince Menschikoff
was in the field with 20,000 men, expecting
reinforcements; the fortification of Anapa
having been burned by the Russians, and
its garrison marching to the scene of action.
The allies were on the river Baalbeck, ten
miles from Sebastopol. Indeed, Sebastopol
was invested on the 27 th.
Cholera was very severe in the garrisons
at Sebastopol. It is stated that the city is
provisioned for only three months, and that
the crews of the fleet are already on three-

The Russian steamer Taman, 3 guns, es
caped out of Sebastopol on the 19th ult.,
and took two Turkish transports and car
ried them into Odessa.
On the 22d September, to the delight of
the inhabitants of Galatz, the first merchant
vessel which had entered the port in four

which connected Bessarabia with a Danubi-
an island.
The London Times publishes the following
extraordinary news on the faith of a King
ston (Jamaica) correspondent:
We have recent accounts from St. Domin
go, to the-effect that the United States frig
ate Columbia, bearing a commodore’s flag,
accompanied by a corvette and steamer, hod
arrived at the port of Samana, and demand
ed the cession of that place, as well as a
certain adjacent territory. A general offi
cer and some engineer officers are on board
the Columbia. Messengers have been des
patched to Port-au-Prince for the purpose of
informing the authorities about the matter,
and it is expected that the Emperor Sou-
iouque will be on his march to that part of
the island, in order to repulse, if possible,
these daring invaders. We have it on good
authority, that an American fleet has sailed
from New York to Greytown, for what ob
ject we are at a loss to conceive. The fleet,
it is said, consists of two frigates, three cor
vettes, and two steamers, in fighting order,
and commanded by a commodore (they
boost) of consummate bravery.
A London letter, under the date Oct 6th,
gives the following particulars:
It is now proved beyond a doubt that the
wholo story of the capture of Sebastopol is
a myth, nn invention.
It however, in no manner detracts from
the victory of the allies on the Alma. The
accounts of that victory is official. The de
tails of the fighting are daily expected. It
also appears certain that the victorious
troops pushed on to the Kateha, the second
river; that another sanguinary engagement
took place; that the Russians then retreat
ed to the third entrenchment, on the river
Balbek. Here reliable intelligence stops.
It is stated that the heights which command
Sebastopol are already in their possession ;
but I warn you against believing the big
headed announcements you will find in
many of the papers.
The only additional piece of official news
received is a despatch from Lord Stratford
de Redcliffe, the English Ambassador at
Constantinople. It announces that, on the
28th September, the heavy siege artillery of
the allied armies was landed by the ships of
the allied squadron, without opposition, at
Balakiava, a port with deep water, South of
Sebastopol. A certain number of troops,
of course, landed with this artillery. From
Balakiava to Sebastopol there is an excel
lent road, and the allies therefore were ad
vancing on two sides on Sebastopol.
Prince Menschikoff had retreated with
20,000 men to the heights of Baktchi Sarai,
there awaiting reinforcements. The Rus
sian fort of Anapa had been blown up by
his orders, and the garrison was hastening
to join him. This is official. Should any
additional news come in before the post
closes, you shall have it.
The battle of the Alma was very sangui
nary. A telegraphic despatch from Con
stantinople, upon which you may place full
reliance, gives the number of English killed
and wounded as follows:—9G officers, 1,895
rank and file, 114 seargeants, and 23 drum
mers.
The heights of the Alma wore defended
by 45,000 Russians and 100 cannon. The
French troops did not suffer so much ; they
were on tho right, near the sea, and partial
ly protected by the guns of the fleet; the
English were in the centre, the Turks on
the left. The charge of the English army
up the steep ascent in the face of a hundred
guns, pouring volleys into them of ball and
grape, and musketry, was heroic—they took
the guns at the point of the bayonet. The
French and Turks behaved equally well.—
Prince Napoleon is reported to have had a
horse shot under him.
As soon as the news of the fall of Sebas
topol was believed at Vienna, the Emperor
ordered his Ambassador at Paris to express
to Louis Napoleon the satisfaction he, (the
Emperor Francis Joseph,) felt at the suc
cess of the allied armies in the Crimea.—
This is the crudest cut of all to Russia.—
The King of Prussia also thought it a fit
ting opportunity to express his good wishes,
adding that he had all along given his mor
al support to tho Western Powers. Proba
bly what most astonished—perhaps alarmed
—their two German Majesties, was the un
bounded, uncontrolled joy and delight of
the good citizens of Vienna and Berlin
when they heard the news. In despite of
spies and police the health of the allied ar
mies was drank in every pot house, cabcrct,
“ kneip,” and at all the private dinner ta
bles of t-lie two capitals.
Prussia has, however, been snubbed—de
servedly so.
The representative of France aud Eng
land have announced to Baron Manteuffel,
the Prussian Foreign Minister, in very tem
perate but plain terms, that they must beg
to decline any further attempts at so called
mediation on the part of Prussia—that
such attempts will not be listened to in any
form or shape, and that Prussia must regard
herself, under existing circumstances, as
self-excluded from all further participation
in the Oriental question, in so far as relates
to her connection with the maritime Powers.
The lesser German powers are begining to
show a penchant towards Austria, which
Power will not neglect the opportunity to
obtain a permanent preponderancy in the
Frankfort Diet.
Austria appears now inclined to side
openly with the Western Powers; but small
thanks are due to her for coming in when
the battle’s fought and won, to plant her
yellow and black striped banner upon the
dead body of the foe. Hod Russia been
victorious, who dare assert that Austria
would not have stepped forward with her
armies to bring the Western Powers to
“reasonable terms” for peace?

We understand that at a meeting of the
Boat'd of Directors of the South Carolina
Railroad, held here on Friday, that body
passed resolutions setting forth their deter
mination, that unless the Post Office Depart
ment continue their old schedule at the pres
ent rate of compensation, or increase it for
the new schedule proposed, they will refuse
to carry the mails after the 1st. proximo.—
Columbia South Carolinian.
It is muoh to be regretted that the Post
master-General cannot effect an arrangement
with the Carolina road of running the sched
ule which has been proposed, the object of
which is to facilitate the transmission of
the great Northern and Southern Mail sev
eral hours. If we are not mistaken, the
terms offered by the Department have been
accepted by all the other railroad companies
between Washington and New Orleane, and
the new arrangement is only prevented
from going into operation by the refusal of
the South Carolina Railroad to accept a com
pensation equal to that paid to any other
road, and greater than is paid to many com
panies for similar service. AVe cannot un
derstand why the South Carolina Company
should feel itself justified in demanding more
than is deemed sufficient for like service by
the Central, the Georgia and other South
ern Roads ; and in view of the great public
necessity for the proposed change, and the
benefits which it would confer on the busi
ness public of the whole South, we are con
strained to regard the course of the Directors
as illiberal and discreditable to the company
whose interests they represent. Something
is due from our railroad corporations to the
public, who have a right to expect that they
will make any reasonable concession, for the
purpos of placing our section on as good a
