Wctlumlay Evening. May ID, 1858.
Railroad Accident.
When the up-train last night had
reached two miles above Berzelia the
axle of the tender broke, throwing the
train off the track, badly smashing the
baggage and negro car. No one save
the baggage master was hurt, and his
injuries are not severe. The train was
running very slowly at the time, or tire
damage must have been great, as the
negro car was full. The train sent up
for the down passengers loft the wreck
at twoo’clock, this morning, and reach
ed the city at 4 o’clock Our informant
thought the road would be clear by
noon.

Death of H. It. Spann, Ksq.
The Edgefield Advertiser announces the
death of H. R. Spann, Esq., who was a
prominent lawyer in that place. “He
had gone to Texas on business connect
ed with his profession; and there, in a
distant village, among strangers, he
came to his end in a manner equally sud
den and grievous.” We have notlieard
the particulars of his death. The bar of
Edgefield held a meeting on the 17 th
inst., at which the usual resolutions
were passed and addresses were made
commemorative of his worth as a man,
and of his eloquence and ability as an
attorney. He leaves » family to mourn
his untimely fate.
ggf A late New York paper says the
first of May was a “moving” day in that
city, as usual, and it is believed there
were more changes there and in Brook
lyn than have occurred for many years.
A large proportion of the houses are
now standing empty, and rents have
failed on the East river side of the city
about 25 per cent. In Brooklyn alone
there are some two hundred houses
without tenants.
jgp The long contested case pending
before Jasper Superior Court between
Michael Robert, propounder of the last
will of James M. Johnson, dec’d, and
Eli H. Walker, guardian, and other ca- ■
viators, was finally determined last '
week and the will established. s

Benjamin Hodges was drowned. i
An accident occurred on the Lai ay- «
ette and ludianopolisßailroad, on In- 0
day night, hy which the fireman, engi- j
neer and conductor lost their lives. The |,
accident was caused by the late rains (
which washed away the abutment of

From all parts of the West accounts t
are coming in of terrible storms last
week. !_
A violent tornado on Thursday, blew
the cars on the Chicago and Alton Rail
road, off the track, near Lexington, 111.,
doing considerable damage and se\ ere-
ly injuring several persons. (
The towns in the vicinity suffered se- <
verely. Half the houses were prostra- 1
ted, and three persons killed. ,
On Friday another storm occurred ,
between Bloomington and Springfield.
Much damage done. A number of
houses in Elkhart and Williamsville
were demolished, and a family of five !
persons killed. j
The same storm w r as felt in Chester- f
field, Ya.,where hail-stones fell as large >
as hen s eggs, breaking windows and de- j
stroying vegetation. 1
In Howard county, Md., there was t
a tornado on Tuesday. Houses were *
blown, and damage done to the amount (
of $50,000. I
In Madison, and other points in Geor- <

A Tale ol Horrors—An Incarnate
Fiend—Can It be!
Governor McWillie, of Mississippi, is *
charged by the Vicksburg Southern
with having pardoned out of the Peni
tentiary a man named Dyson, who had
assassinated another man named
Nelms, for which he was simply sen
tenced to the Prisou for fifteen years.— j
That paper says of the criminal.
He waylaid his victim with whom he j
: had a deadly feud ; brought him down
■ at the first shot, and then, emerging
. from his hiding place, taunted his dy
ing victim with words of insult and re
proach, and finally concluded by plac
ing the muzzle of his gun to the body
of Nelms and firing the second time.—
This shot produced instant death, and
so close was the gun to the victim that
the flesh of the murdered man was burnt j
by the explosion. Having completed
the work of slaughter, he deliberately j
mounted Iris horse, rode to the house of!
Nelms, called his wife out, and inform
ing her that he had murdered her hus
band, directed her whore to find his
mangled corpse!
Dyson is a blood stained, blood
thirsty, incarnate fiend. He is not a
1 man, but a ferocious tiger, and Gover
; nor McWillie has no more right to turn
such a beast loose upon the community
tlian he has to open the cagesof a whole
1 caravan of tigers. His antecedents arc
; well known, too, and they should have!
. forbidden all hope of Executive clemen- 1
. cy. The murder of Nelms was not his)
1 first taste of blood. He bad previously, j
f in a most base and cowardly manner 1
1 murdered a lawyer named Moss, of De
s Soto County, by shooting him in the
back as Moss rode from him. He had j
2 murdered three of his own negroes,and
, one of them in a manner so horribly |
j appalling as to cause the death of his own
wife.
1 This case occurred at his own table |
and the victim of his fiendish rage was i
a woman. Taking offence at something
the woman did, or omitted to do,while
waiting at the table, he rose, drew a
bowic knife, and with a single blow
ripped her open. His wife swooned,! :
and when she awoke to consciousnes he j,
had the negro's heart out, and, with'it ,
upon his knife, he thrust it into her face !
She swooned again, and the result of ]
her horror and fright brought on con
vulsions, from the effects of which ;
she soon died. ,

solidated and heard together. In the j

fits of her own labor, and not having

which they were levied on were valid,

Reversing tliclr Decision.
The American Tract Society has been
disturbed a great deal of late years by j
the question of slavery. By a decision j
of the society recently, tracts were au- j
thorized to be issued bearing upon the )
moral evils and vices of slavery. The !
publishing committee did not issue any
such tracts, and at the annual meeting j
on Thursday, in New York, the ques- j
tion came up, should the instructions
of last year be re-affirmed by the Socie
ty, or should they be rescinded ? The :
meeting was an immense one, and after |
a brilliant debate, the society, by a vote
of ten to one, rescinded the instruc- )
tions. The struggle was a desperate
one ; but the abolition element in the ;
society was floored. —Richmond Dispatch, j

gSFOxygenated Bitters,
; A SURE CURE FOR DYSPEPSIA —The history
of this remarkable medicine, and its astonishing
success in obstinate cases of Dyspepsia, Asthma,
i and General Debility of the System, places it
among the most wonderful discoveries in modi
r cal science, and has given it a reputation far be
yond any remedy known for these complaints,
‘ in all their various forms.
The Oxygenated Bitters contain nothing which
} can intoxicate ; and the medicine has no simi
larity whatever to the various alcoholic mix
lures disguised as “Bitters,” being purely a
medicinal compound, in which are combined the
i most valuable remedial ngents, and a peculiar
oxygenated property, hitherto unknown, but
highly efficacious in all complaints arising from
’ weakness and derangement, or prostration of
[ the stomach and system generally. It is a mild
and agreeable tonic, removing all disagreeable
symptoms, and assisting nature in her efforts to
’ restore the impaired powers of the system.

Coloring Fluids for tlie
Hair are Dangerous.—Prof. Wood’s Hair
i Tonic restores the color, not by the nitrate of
i silver process, but by a restoration of the
healthy functions upon which the original and
natural color of the hair and its moisture, its
loss, its life, and consequently its original
beauty depended. Prof. Wood, at the ago of
thirty-seven years, was as grey as a man of
j eighty, and his hair was dry, thin and dead.
Now ho has not a single grey lock upon his
crown, nor is his hair thin or dry, but soft, pli
able and moist as that of a child of five years.
This preparation acts upon the roots, for after
an application that portion of the hair nearest
the scalp is found restored to the original color,
whatever it was. while the ends ot the hair are
gray. Try Wood’s Hair Tonic , and do not ap
ply any other till after you have this. With
this resolution will never have occasion to*use a
hair dye. (
