ACCIDEOT3 ON THIS ATLANTIC & GULF RaILKOAD.—
Last Saturday evening, as the freight train coming
nom the South was coming towards Savannah, when
about a hundred and odd miles from here, two of the
care caught fire. -They were loaded with sea island
cotton, and were entirely destroyed. It is supposed
that sparks from the locomotive fell through cracks in
in the cars, and set fire to the cotton. Between fifty
an l sixty bales were destroyed.
Tne night express train, which left here on Satur
day uight, ran off the .track, when within a short (Us
ance of Jacksonville, about six o’clock on. Sunday
horning. Several of the forward cars, and the engine
and tender were badly damaged. The express car
*as next the locomotive, and-was completely wrecked.
Mr. William Bowdiif, the express messenger, was in
the car, and was badly crushed about the thighs and
Women. He was reported as in a critical condition.
Ike conductor of the train was slightly injured. The
passengers and the remainder of the employes escaped
without injury.
Mr. Bowdinwas well-known in this city. He be
longs in Augusta, and was on the road to Atlanta
ibont a year; he canje here about two years ago, and
to been on the Gulf road ever since. He was atten-
tbe to his duties, and a very fine young man, general
ly liked among those with whom he was employed,
s ko all sympathize deeply with him in his trouble.
It is not known, or not made public here, as to how
the accident occurred, nor the rail extent of the dam-
K* to the train.
The Theatbe.—Notwithstanding the inclement
rather last evening, there was a very good audience
»t the Theatre, on the occasion of the first appearance
l[r. and Mrs. Harry ty&tkiqs, who have always been
i*reat favorifes wi|h the people here, and who .do not
to have lost any of'the regard in which they have
heretofore been held. Kathleen Mavoumeen is one of
weir best plays, and one which they always present
w Rood style. In their respective characters they
exhibit a profound appreciation of the two principal
parts, and render them in a really beautiful manner,
fney have brought out some new plays, which will be
^ Ven during this week, and they should attract
crowded houses every night
Oar stay at the Theatre was necessarily brief last
“gat, and we had no opportunity to observe sufficient
i-^s remarks u$on the acting in generaL What
attic we did see was of a character sufficient to prbve

The Hebbew Fair.—We again call the attention of
°or readers to the Hebzew Fair, ai St. Andrew’s HalV
which will continue open until to-morrow nigh?;.
5te fair has not been so wqil patronized as it deserved

—On Saturday last a negro thief came upon the plan

the river, and, while in the act of stealing sheep, was
by Mr. Montmollin, who, as tho neero
to escape, shot at him with a rifle, wounding

a . map named Walls, to whom, "he
also delivered bis rifle, telling him to watch the pris
oner until he (Montmollin) went to his house and pro

11 On arriving hero he deposited the prisoner in the Pol

home, but yielded to the urgent solicitations of friends
who feared that the negroes might do him a mischief
on the road, and remained over Saturday night.
About twelve o’clock on Sunday Mr. Montmollin
started in his mule cart to go home, accompanied by
Cato, a servant boy, on horseback. He proceeded up
the Augusta road quietly enough until he reached the
eleven mile 'post. There lie came up * to a negro,
armed with a gun, who appeared to be posted on

was fast giving way, and would soon prevent the pu^^
lie from using that road. He offered a resolution,
Which was adopted, requesting the President of the
Board to address a communication upon the subject
to. tflo President of the Railroad Company, and agk
that the bridge be fixed at once.
Dr. Dupont offered a resolution providing for the
appointment of a committee of three, to examine the
Skidaway road from the three to the eight mile post,'
and report its condition -to an adjourned meeting; of
the Board; and also to ascertain whether or not the
Shell Road Company had complied with the terms
upon which the road was transferred to them.
Before the exact purport of this resolution was dis-
Icovered, it was passq^i, and the Chairman empowered
to appoint the committee.' ’
Mr. Wiltberger demanded that the committee should
be composed of persons who ljad no interest either in
ithe Shell road, or in that part of it not shelled.
Capt. Bilbo was appointed as one member of the
[committee, but declined to act. He knew the condi
tion of the road without going to examine it, and saw
no way to remedy it except for the Commissioners to
take back from the Shell Road Company that portion
of the road from the end of the Shell to the eight mile
post, and keep it in order. If they wore willing to
abandon it, the Board could take charge of it. As to
whether the Company had violated its charter or not,
that question must be decided by the courts.
I Aftei considerable discussion, during which mem
bers were frequently called to order for speaking
when tllere wo&no question for consideration, Dr. J.
J.*Waring moveu to reconsider Dr. Dupond’s resolu
tion; which motion was carried
Mr. Wiltberger, president of the Shell Road Com
pany, said that he had expected some kind of a charge
(upon the road, and had brought its counsel, J. M. B.
I Lovell, there to defend it. He said that the books
had been opened to raise money to complete the road
|to the eight mile post, but not one dollar had ever
been subscribed. The company were perfectly willing
to abandon that portion of the road extending from
the White Horse Tavern to the eight mile post. He
never went down there, and did not know anything
about the condition of that portion of the road. If it
]\v»* in bad order, the fact should have been reported
[to him. .*
cwvci-al members called for the reading of the origi
nal resolution bv winch the transfer was made to the
Shell Road Company.
J. M. B. Loveii, iio representing the Shell Road Com-,
pany, said that he woald make a formal abandonment
of tuat portion ot tbe road extending from the White ■
Horse Tavern to the eight mile post. He read the
statute on the subject, by which the Legislature
granted the comp^uytii© right to construct a road to I
tbe eight mile post or any intermediate point The
company had complied with the statute, and built the
read to an intermediate point The citizens had
I failed to respond to the call lor funds to carry the road
further, and the company would abandon all claim
over the remaining portion of the road.
Mr. John Schley said that the company had once
I built the road to the eight mile post Subsequently
it was destroyed and they rebuilt it part of tp
Having first accepted the eigh^iqiiepost as the
o f terminus, they had na right nor power "
to fall back upon an immediate point.
. . Alter a long time spejjf in searching, the original
resolution providing for a transfer of the road to the
company was discovered and read. It provided that
i.i case the company should ever abandon the road, it
f hould be restored to tho commissioners in good trav
eling condition.
Mr. Lovell said that the company would comply
with that requirement, if granted a reasonable time.
Dr. Dupont said that the commissioners could only
take bapk the whole road. He offered as a substitute
/or his resolution another providing for a future meet
ing of the Board, to hear legul argument on the sub
ject, and that, in meantime, a committee be ap- i
pointed to examine and report upon the condition of
the road.
Judge W. T. Gibson offered a resolution providing
that'the control of the road, beyond the four mile
post, be assumed by the Board of Commissioners, pro
vided that the Shell Road Company execute a legal
relinquishment to that portion of the road, and that
they be given three months from the first of January
next to put the road in good condition. This resolu
tion was carried, and t4® matter ended.
Mr. Symons asked for an'appropriation ot $ 100 to
repair the bridge leading to Skidaway Island.
After’making estimates of the amoxuitsQf money
required to keep the various roads in the county in
order during tho ensuing year the Board adjourned.'
The Skidaway Shell Road.—The action of the
Board of Road Commissioners, a report of the pro
ceedings of whose meeting will be found elsewhere,
will be viewed with surprise by many of our readers.
After a discussion of the matter, during which it was
represented that all that portion of the road, from the
four mile post to the Isle of Hope, was in a very bad
condition, never having been mended since the war,
and with the duty of the Shell Road Company clearly
apparent, either to shell, or at least to keep the road
n order, the Board consented to take that part of the
road back upon its hands again.' The Shpll Road
Company having gone faf enough to levy a toll, cai-ed
not for the balance of tbe highw&y, and was very wil
ling to relinquish* its'claim. Haying once shelled
and taken possession of tfi’e road *° tbe eightmile
post perhaps a Court of law. can decide whether or
notit can, upon rebuil}ngi£s eheU road, ftopjtt an in
termediate point/vm charge-full rates of toll to those
who use the thoroughfare.
It was stated that persons residing at Isle of Hope,
and other points at-tliat end of the road, were allowed
to commute, and the toll, in such cases, was fixed at
an exceeding low rate. But it is not the citizens re
siding at those points that particularly urge the injus
tice of the present rate of fon. It Is the citizens of
Savannah, many of wliom never nso thfe road because
of the high rates of toll—just' four times the sum be
ing charged that shonld be, for tho road to make a
good, fair and reasonable profit. At the nresenf exor
bitant toll, a short, daily driv^ for exerojse or health,
would cost in tb e neighborhood qr seventy or eighty
dollars a year—more than some' people can afford to
spend in such a manner. Jive cen^s, or,at the far
thest, ten, Would'be a sufl^cient charge, and tbe in-i
creuse of travel would surely inqrefise the goodly divi
dends which the qompany is how able to declared
•Further than Ibis, the action of the commissioners
establishes a bad precedent Thuv any body of men
may be organised, & charter secured from the Legisla
ture, and consent of the Ordinary and Road Commis
sioners obtained to their building a shell or plank r
road on the Ogeechee, Augusta, or any other road in

dashed through the muck and water on a run, keep
ing on a course parallel with the road, and apparent
ly striving to get ahead of the wagon. The colored
boy, Cato, begged Mr. Montmollin for God’s sake to
turn back, as it was plain to be seen that the negroes
had come out to kill him. . By this time he had nearly
reached toe twelve mile stone, when the road sudden
ly became black with negroes, armed with Enfield
rifles and revolvers, hatchets, axes and knives. A
small house by the roadside was filled with them, while
in the rear of the wagon another gang had sprung from
the cover of toe woods into the road, and captured the
boy Cato, who was riding behind. Mr. Montmollin
had no weapon with him, except a small pistol, and'
he took that out of his pocket determined that if he
was to be killed, one of the murderous party, at least,
shonld pay the penalty of the act.
The negroes appeared to be under regular military
organization. They had a Colonel, a young, dandified,
■villainous looking black, who stepped into the. road .
and commAnded Mr. Montmollin to halt He stopped
and saluted the “Colonel” with “good morning.”
The “Colonel” said—*‘I have brought my men out
here to have satisfaction out of you.” Mr. Montmol
lin raid—“What have I done ? To this the “Colonel”
replied—“Yon Bhot a gentleman.” He answered—
“I shot the biggest thief in the county.” The “Col
onel” said—“You had no business to shoot him.”
A tall, coal black negro, mounted on a mule, acted
as a Lieutenant of the forces. He, at this juncture
called but—“Come men, by two’s into two lines,” anfl
they then formed on each side of the road. Mr. Mont-
’mollin had his -pistol in his hand, and said'to the'
“Colonel”—“I Suppose that you are going to kill me.
It’s no use for you to do that. I did shoot the thief;
.and can and will kill one of you.” The “Colonel” jab
bered away for some time, and told Mr. Montmollin
that they knew he had but one pistol, and that they
had secured his rifle from the man with whom he left
it. Cato here came up, and begged them to spare his
master’s life, and to do mm no harm. After a whis
pered consultation among themsel res th«- “Colonel”
got up on the seat of the cart besidi : Mr. Montmollin,
and placed-two men in the hack part of the cart, or
dering them to keep their revolvers constantly point
ed at Montmollin. He was then told to drive forward,
and started toe mule, the* other negroes surrounding
the cart, and marching along with it. About a mile
up the road they met a cart containing a number of
negroes who appeared disposed to drive on, but were
stopped by the “Colonel,” who invited them to j6in
his men. The negroes drew off to one side of the
road, and held a long consultation; they appeared to
quarrel among themselves, and, judging by their ao-
tiona, Mr. Montmollin concluded that one party want
ed to shoot, while the other fevored releasing him.
While engaged in this pow-wow the negroes amused
themselves by cocking and aimingtheir guns at him.
: At length they came up to him ana told him to drive
off home; and, glad to escape, he was not long in
reaching that point.
Shortly a ter reaching the house, (it then being
dark) Cato came in and reported that toe negroes were
marching up to the place -aud deolaring that they
would kill Mr. Montmollin. Taking his rifle and axe
he left the house with Cato, got out the mule cart, and
as the negroes were on' tbe high’ road, they took to
the woods, traveling part of the way on the old road
bed of the Savannah and Charleston Railroad. £t was
very cold and they suffered exceedingly, finding that
they had escaped, the negroes started tfl pursuit, and
they were compelled to PU*h toward without stop
ping, in order to secure toeir lives. About daylight
yesterday morning they reached the city, feeling that
they had had a most providential escape.
This outrage upon a, citizen upon one Of the most
frequented of our public! higbwtya, proves conclu
sively the existence of s& organization and a settled
purpose on toe part of the-uegrqea in the oounty to
bring on a war yrito toe whites*. Mr, Montmollin does
not know hut what some injury was done to Walls,
with whom he left one of his rifles, as the negroes said
that they had that weapon. It is time that measures
were taken effectually to stop these systematic out
rages, and to let these scoundrels know that they are

OBITUARY.
DIED, in this city, ch Monday, Oct. 19; 1S6S, cf ty
phoid fever, Elixn Theresa, beloved,wife of Jas. F.
Turner, daughter of-James amTBirbary Stratford, of
Louisville, Ga., aged nineteen years, one month and
five days.
' Truly are we told in Holy writ that the Lord knows
who are his own. They who are the Lord’s, show
themselves such in their life and conduct amongst'
men. So was it with the subject of the above sad no-
ce. From her earliest youth, she gave evidence, by
a wisdom and piety beyond her years, that hers was
indeed a chosen soul. Her ready obedience, sweet
axid gentle manners, and lovely simplicity,, mingled
with becoming timidity, won all hearts, and gave ear
nest of what her pious and God-fearing parents might
expect in maturer years. Her girlhood hut confi med
and developed the good qualities ana virtues of her
infancy, so that, when at toe early age of eignteen, she
was coiled by the Providence of too All-Wise one to
become a wife, she was found frilly equal to the ardu
ous duties and weighty responsibilities of her new
sphere, and so well did she, though so young, under
stand those duties, so fitithfully fulfill tho-m, <h«t
everyday endeared her more and more to her fond
husband, and increased his appreciation and admira
tion of her as the perfect model of a Christian wifo.
The practice 6f her holy religion was as a portion of
Tier life. Love through God, its author, was clearly
source and mainspring of all her words and ac-
uons. Thus richly endowed with Grace by her Maker,
tons faithful in correspondence with it, what promise
did she not give of glory to God, and usefulness to her
fellow-beings. Bnt God, whose ways are truly inscru
table, for His own wise purpose, willed otherwise, and
this Angel in woman's form was taken away to toe
very morning of her beautiful and holy life, in toe
very flower of youth. Ah! doubtless God saw
was enamored of so pure and faithful a soul, and
earth unworthy of so bright a jewel. Or, mayhap, toe
Omniscient saw that the lustre of her spotless soul,
woul4 become tarnished by continued contact with a
wicked world, and hence, as we read in the Book of
tom (c. iv, 2), “Shewas taken away,lestwicked-
- should alter her understanding or deceit beguile
souL” Especially seeing that, as the wise man
adds: “She had, in a short space, fulfilled along
time, therefore did God hasten to bring her out of the
midst of iniquities.” We are sure, we but echo the
unanimous voice of those who knew her during life
or were witness of her holy and edifying death, when
we express the wish, that our last end may be like
unto hers. How forcibly that last sad yet consoling
scene reminds us of God’s solemn declaration, “ Pre
cious in the sight of tho Lord is the death of his
Saints.” Requiescat in Pace. Aman

I
Sleep, beautiful friend of my childhood,
Sleep in thy youthful tomb ;
Jesus hath lain there before thee,
And conquered its terror and gloom.
Rest, may the brown leaves of autumn
Rustle softly down o’er thy bed.
And chant with the breezes of twilight
A requiem meet for the dead.
May the glittering jewels of evening
Their silent watch o’er thee keep.
And the morn pour a flood of her glory
O’er the spot where our darling’s asleep.
Best, with thy pale waxen fingers,
Clasped tight o’er thy icy cold breast;
Thine eyes, that have oft danced in gladness.
Are set, and forever at rest.
Best, beloved friend of my childhood,
Rest calmly in thy narrow bed;
And you, ye pale flowers of autumn,
Keep watch with our beautiful dead.
Keep watch with too moon of still evening;
Keep watch while the young stars are born ;
Keep watoh till the Day God of Glory,
Kisses the bright cheek of fair mom 1

GUANO DIFFERS from PERUVIAN GUANO
simply in the RELATIVE PROPORTION of the
8A3IE elements of fertility.
Its use during too past four years for the culture of
COTTON and com, has given to it a character for
standard excellence unsurpassed by genuine Peruvian
Guano, and when seasons of drought intervene, it
produces a large increase of crops.
The price at which this Guano is placed is so much
below that of Peruvian Guano as to constitute it an
object of material importance to Southern agriculture.
The large capital and resources of the Company ena
ble it to furnish a Guano of toe highest value at the
lowest possible cost to consumers, and the highest in
terest of the Company is recognized in this policy.
' r The Company looks to large sales, small profits and
a permanent business for compensation on capital
invested.
D. St. Julian Ravenel, of South Carolina, is Scien
