• Horse Collision.
Yesterday forenoon a collision took place
near the Oglethorpe corner between a horse of
Mr. • ‘rim and one of Mr. Todd, (both Western
trader ,) which resulted in the death of Mr.
Todd’s horse. It appears that Mr. (.'rim was
driving on the plank road from the direction
‘if the Muscogee Bail Road Depot, and Mr.
field's horse, driven by his boy, was coming
up < igliTliorpe, both driving at high speed.
I tom some cause, they did not observe each
other until too late. The shaft of Mr. (Trim s
buggy was driven into Todd’s horse just behind
(he right shoulder and struck the heart, caus
ing death almost instantly.

Hotting Hold.
A letter from .Montgomery informs us that
>u Saturday night last, the keeper of negro
pukery situated on the South Flank Road in
the outskirts of the city, shot three of the coun

ter ays thorc was a good deal of talk on the
streets on Sunday about it, and the indications
ate that it leads to the breaking up of all such
lames iu and around the city. The keeper of
the deu was committed to Jail.
Montgomery has been liberally cursed with
mi oil dens of iniquity for years, and in cominou
with her good citizens, we hope the commence

We should like to see a step towards reform
ation in this respect, commence in this city.

Serious Kail Koad Accident.
We learn from the Carolinian, that the Un

i oideut on Saturday the 20th inst., near Ash
ford Ferry. A car which was out of order
n> its ruiiuiug gear, is considered us to have
been the cause. The passenger car was thrown
from the track, down an embankment some
fifty feet, rolling over three times, and becom
ing a total wreck. Os fifteen or eighteen pas
singers, most of them were more or less hurt.
Mr. I'rice of N. C. and l)r. Wright and Mr.

infant to her bosom uud cried out, ‘I will live
in die with you, my baby”—and faithfully
protected her charge. Another child of Mrs.

Tornado.
The Marion (S. Cl.) Star says* frightful tor
nado passed through the upper portions of
Marion District, Some few days since. Con
siderable damage was done to timber aud fences,
iiut fortunately no lives were Inst, though
■r.any persons narrowly escaped. Some lew
houses were blown down aud their contents
pitilessly’ scattered about by the wind. In one
,nstance a carpet bag was taken aud carried a
distance of one ihilo before it touched tbe

Negroes the Sufferers.
The excitement, iu Tennessee, regarding a
revolt lias subsided. All the slave churches
have been closed, and no holiday was allowed
the negroes in lining sections, the past Christ
mas. The free negroes are being driven out
of several sections of the State, on penalty of
death if they remain. This has ended the in
cendiary efforts of fiends who have entailed on
tlieir deluded victims a loss of the enjoyment
they once possessed, and in many instances
have consigned them to the gallows. In Ken
tucky and elsewhere all disturbances have been
effectually quelled by the violent death of the
leaders, and nil excitement has disappeared.
Hoads up in Nicaragua.
(Jen. Walker has written a letter to a friend
in New York, dated Doc. Ist, in which he says;
“1 consider that pur power in Central
America never has been on so firm a basis as
now. Nor do 1 know of one single month, since
1 have been in Nicaragua, wherein we have
made so much progress towards final results
as the month which has just ended.” Judging
from the accounts which have reached the
United States, We should be inclined to agree
with the General. If these accounts be cor
rect, progress certainly lias been madotowards
a final result, but we fear, not that contempla
ted by the General.

Tho Transit Company and Gen. Walker.
Tho Accessory Transit Company has taken
the offensive against General Walker and his
supposed confederates iu the Nicaraguan bu
siness. An order Inis been issued for the ar
rest of Charles Morgan, Cornelius K. Garrison
and William Walker, iu a suit brought in the
United States court—the gravamen whereof is
their alleged conversion of the goods and chat
tels of the company to the valuoof $1,000,000.
Further damages to this trespass to the amount
of $1,000,000 more are also claimed. At the
same time the other side is not idle. Anew
suit was commenced on Saturday in the Su
preme court, in which the plaintiffs ask for the
appointmeps of a receiver of the effects of the
Company. The ordsr for the arrest of Mo 1 ’
gau, Garrison and Walker, is made in the
name of the President of the United States,
that being usual form, but of course lie had
nothing to do with its issue, it is a law pro
ceeding altogether, and the order of arrest can
only be executed against such of the parties as
are within the United States.

Lighting Cars by Gas.
The Chicago Free Press says this important
invention is the work of Messrs. Mill Ac Deinn
rest of Rochester, New York. It is the work
of years of study and experiment; and yet the
machinery is exceedingly simple. Under the
Hour of each car is placed a gas-holder, which
consists of two tubes shaped like a cigar, each
with a diaphragm of India rubber, separating
the tubes into compartments. Connected with
the holder is a dry metre, which serves to pump
air into the holder, and thus forces the gas
into the pipes which connect with the holder,
and so up into the cars. This metre is placed
on the cars. The process of filling the holder
with gas is very simple. The pipe is fastened
to the receiver of the holder, which as it fills
presses the air out of the other compartment
the diaphragm of India rubber being pressed
flat to the side of the tube.
The process of forcing the guss out. of the
holder is exactly the same—-with this differ
ence, that the dry metro is required to pump
the air into the holder. As the air is pumped
into it the gas is forced out, and the rubber dia
phragm is pressed to one side of the tube or
holder; while as the gas is let in at one pipe
the air is forced out at another, and the dia
phragm is pressed to the opposite side of the
holder.
No amount of shaking or freezing disturbs
it, and wet or dry, cold or hot, the gas is the
same.
Notwithstanding tho comfort which attaches
to this invention, the saving to railroad com
panies, is a desideratum not to he overlooked.
It will not cost anything like the sum now ex
pended in oil lumps, &c.
Precarious Condition of the Lower Part of
San Francisco.
On tho evening oftlic lGtli ult., several men
were sitting in a frame building on Clay, near
Fast-street, when they felt the walls shaking,
and they rushed into the street. The next
moment the piles which supported the house
gave way, and the building fell with a crash
into the bay beneath. Within a few minutes
afterwards the adjoining buildings, extending
from Clay to Commercial streets, to the*extent
of about two hundred feet square, also gave
way and fell in, together with their contents,
creating a general wreck. Several men who
were in these houses were precipitated into
the bay, and received severe contusions, but
in no case did the injuries received prove fatal
to life. Tho stores were all occupied by pro
duce dealers. The total, including the build
ings on Commercial street, and others on Cluy
stvuet, was about ijil6,ooo. The cause of this
catastrophe was attributed to the [famous
boring worms, which had for so long a time
been eating away und destroying tho founda
tions of the lower part of the city.

Human Nature
They tell u good story of two bachelors
down Fast who lived a sort of cal and dog life,
to their neighbor’s discomfort, for a good
many years, but who hud been at campmeeting
were slightly oonvorted, and both of them con
cluded to reform.
“Brother Toni,” says one, wheu they hud
arrived at tlieir home, “let us sit down and
I’ll tell you what we’ll do. You tell me all of
ih,v faults and I’ll tell you all of youru, and so
we will know how to get about mending of
’em.”
“Good! ” says Brother Tom.
“ Well, you begin.”
“No, you begin, Brother Joe.”
“Well, in the first place, you know, Brother
Toni, you will lie! ”
Crack goes brother Tom’s paw between
brother Joe’s “blinkers,” and a considerable
of a “scrimmage” ensues, until, iu tho course
of about ten minutes, neither being able to
couie to time, reformation is postponed sine
die.

A Fortunate Traveler.
It is stated that a German, with whom Bay
ard ‘J’aylor formed a friendship, has recently

the Thuringinn forest, which contains a bean

OUli BABY.
We bavo a baby Mown to our house, a real
bone tide blinking baby ; that is, if the pim
pled, wrinkled, squinting piece of squirm, hid
den away beneath those billows of lace unit
flannel, cun be called a baby, against tbe sup
position of which (if I did not know u thing or
two. and hadn't been there before,) l should
be inclined to file an objection. We certainly
have got a baby ; the intelligence of which was
conveyed to me by a round-eyed, wonder-strick
en urchin, which was the baby till this morn
ing, in the following glowing terms ;
“Oil! Aunt Marian, we’ve gut a baby down
t’our house. Papa says the Doctor saw its
little legs hanging through the limb of the
great tree on the common, and picked it off’
for mania! Wan’t he good?” Os course,'l
subscribed to the goodtiess part of it, sadly re
membering the time when our down east ba
bies were gotton up upon a similar lofiy scale,
and tying my bonnet, hastened home to wel
come the stranger, that liad so cavalierly step
ped in during my absancc. Tommy was theie
before ino, and with eyes bigger than ever, was
standing at the nurse’s knee : evidently try
ing to solve the question whether the baby’s
fists were doubled up to bit him a punch, or to
snub bis own nose, tbo rough way of the
world. A bran new baby! Do you know
what its advent is into tho heart and home of
a happy family ? The mother laving iu that
bed of suffering which reduces all women,
from tbe queen to the beggar, to the common
level of humanity. The mother that we ap
proach so reverently, feeling that a human
soul has been sent from Heaven via lier mater
nal bosom, and that from her hands will He
who sent it require a strict account of its
guardianship while passing its life through
this world of chance and changes. What re
sponsibility ! a greater one than we, who long
for that new emotion of holy motherhood,
which has never been uceorded us, are at all
conscious of it. Were we so, we, who know
to its core, every throb of the world’s heart,
who have lived through its Storm and calm,
who knowhow unsubstantial its pleasures, how
poignant its woe ! 1 say, could we know the
responsibility of transplanting to its sunshine
and shade ono single blossom from the garden
of God, we should pray more fervently than
ever we prayed for its reality, to be spared
that trust which we might so inefficiently ful
fill. But there, to see our new baby, to see
everybody tip-toeing in-everybody but Tommy,
who never having been accustomed to walking
on eggs, don’t exactly see why he should be
gin now—to see them all so gleeful over baby,
so pitiful to mama—poor mama, laying there
so pale and wan—to see them joking pa, and
calling him a “terrible fellow,” to which Tom
my is surprised on looking up, to perceive that
papa looks rather proud than angry at being
called such a hard name. His little heart
swells for papa, he looks at old Mrs. Grundy
very much as if he thought it wouldn’t be safe
for her to call him such a name if he was a
man. Then when they are all gone, all the
inquisitive ones, “Harper” is brought in, and
1, cuddling down on the side, of the bed, and
laughing in my sleeve to see how carefully ba
by is given to nurse for fear that Marian
should mash it, read to them that dear sensi
ble, “Old Bachelor’s Reverie,” so appropriate
to our thoughts and emotions. What an inter
est we take in Tom and Mary’s baby—not that
we think it can begin to hold a caudle with
ours—how we read over and over again all the
quaint like passages, sometimes stopping to
laugh heartily at queer jokes, so pretily word
ed, —heartily, so far as Tommy and I are con
cerned—mama only smiles the faintest ghost
of a smile, but her eyes are wet, and that is a
greater compliment still. I’m not competent
to say whether papa is laughing or not. It is
a great queer sort which brings bis pocket
handkerchief into requisition. But after a
swallowing, and something which sounded very
like a .soli, I have his word for it that he has
“laughed over it till he cried.” That would
pass well enough, but his heels coming down
in near proximity to the baby’s nose, nurse
gave him a propeller which turns his tune, and
sends him crying to the kitchen. Mama says,
“Poor Tommy,” and papa immediately starts
for him. It evidently takes a loug time to find
him, for half an hour passes, when he returns
with Tommy and a pair of red-eyes, trying to
assert very manfully that papa’s boy wasn’t
going to have his nose put quite out of joint
for all the new babies in the world. (Juiet once
more restored, we return to the discussion of
the article we have been reading. They need
not tell mama; she knows nobody but a father
ever wrote that article. “Why, how could it
be,” she says ; how could any body but a fa
ther know so exactly a father’s feelings. Oh,
it was no bachelor that wrote it—they couldn’t
make her believe that. Then Aio smiles on
papa, and papa when he thinks X don’t see him,
smiles on her, and takes her poor bloodless
hand presses it to his lips, places it iu his bo
som until, poor me, who don’t see him anyhow
(who wouldn’t be hired to see him, who has
lived long enough to know what eyes are made
for, and wheu to see and when not to see,)
choke up worse thau papa did, and making for
my own chamber for tear as L say, that my
cough would waken baby, have just a magnifi
cent cry, with nothing in the world to cry for,
only because everything is so affecting, the
bachelor’s articles in “Harper,” and our arti
cle—that’s the baby in the cradle—and papa
aud mama over tlieir new-born happiness and
new-born affection. And 1 think of him who
wrote “Mother and child are doing well,”
which set us all going at such a rate; aud I
wonder if he is really a bachelor : if he insn’t
“Tom” himself; and if Mary and baby are not
his exclusive property. Then 1 think, what a
thing it is to be able to write words touching
home-chords with such a pleasurable melody,
Htid much 1 would rather be capable of writ
ing touching little things, like that, than the
most skillful, scientific or romantic books that
ever were writtcu. Then 1 think I wouldn’t
mouoh uiiud seeing. It I did, especially just
in my present mood, 1 should put my two
hands iu his (or my arms around his neck, I
haven’t quite decided which) and ask him, if,
with all the fatherly feelings, he really was a
bachelor; and if so, advise him on the short
est notice practicable to get him a wife and a
baby, and with them a free pass to all the homo
enjoyments which he so exactly describes.—
Oh, 1 tell you a miiu never shows his points
till a bit of humanity, bone of his bone, and
fiesli of his flesh, lays helplessly in his arms,
lie never knows himself, till the dear one he
has chosen from out the world to walk with
him the pilgrimage of life, lays for the first
time before him, weak and pale, with this mor
sel of humanity on her bosom. The promises
they make to tlieir own heart, that no wrong
of tlieir doing “hall ever give a pang to that
gentle bosom!—that no path of pleasure shall
be pleasant enough to lure their feet from the
portals of their own home; but, ulus! (there
must be an alas! to everything in this world)
new babies get to lie old ones—fresh promises
fade in the light of fresher pleasures—and mail
“being inconstant ever.” would require a ‘new
baby’ every week or two to make tbetn toe
(lie mark of all tbe promises they make. As
it W’ nldti't be quite so convenient for us to ac
comm Ii to ourselves pi such requirements, we
must tskw tbe will for the deed. Babies are
great institutions, though ; at least ours is.

Singular Instance of Affection in a Dog.
The many extraordinary instances of the
devotion Os the dog to his master, now on re
cord, seem too much for the belief of most of
men, but the following was told us by a gen
tleman well acquainted with the circumstances
and many others in this vicinity can vouch for
the truth of the statement.
Charles Hueston, a man well known on the
Alabama river, but for the last few years a
resident of California, was killed by the explo
sion of a steam-boat near San Francisco a few
months since. A noble Newfoundland dog
owned by him, escaped injury, and dragged
the body of his master to the shore. The dog
was sent home to the mother of the deceased
residing in Perry county, Alabama. On being
shown a daguerreotype of his lost master, the
dog immediately recognized it, and commenced
licking it, aud sending up the most piteous
howls, since that time lie has refused all food,
and moans constantly. When last heard from
ho was in a dying condition, aud is probably
dead by this time. W'here, in human history,
can be found such an instance of devoted love,
and intense grief at the loss of a loved one ?
—Selma Reporter. ‘
A Miss Ray, of Lowell, has obtained SI,OOO
damages in a breach of jwomise case. The
Cambridge Chronicle explains that “the com
paratively low figure at which the damage was
set, resulted from the influence of a rusty old
‘bach’ on the jury, who, totally ignorant of
connubial felicity, possessed no more qualifi
cation to decide a claim of that nature than an
oppossum or kangaroo! ”
