Stating Jlispatcl). AUGrU STA, G-A: 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 “Accidents by Flood and Field. c A Canoe was upset between Weldon, t N.

The |, accident was caused by the late rains ( which washed away the abutment of the bridge, causing it to give way. a 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.

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. , tiiirty-fifth congress. Washington, May 14th, 1858. SENATE. The private calendar was taken up and some important hills acted upon. * A resolution was submitted, on mo- J tiou of Mr. Biggs, that the President be j requested, as far as compatible with thej ' public interest, to communicate to the 1 j Senate any information which may ! have been received concerning the re-1 J cent search or seizure of American ves- j sels by foreign armed cruisers in thej Gulf of Mexico, or adjacent seas ; and j t: also, what measures, if any, have been! ! taken in relation thereto.

The Justices of the ; Inferior Court dismissed the warrants !; in both cases, and on the cases being carried to the Superior Court refused to j interfere on the ground, “that the pro- * eeeding being of a criminal nature, and t the defendants having been acquitted ( by the Inferior Court, the Superior j Court had no constitutional power top order a rehearing;” and this decision) was affirmed by the Supreme Court. t McKinley for the Plaintiffs in Error —Kenan and Harris for the Defendants )' in both cases. j e Thornton, (aslave) Plaintiff in Error, j vs. The State of Georgia, Defendant in Error.—Murder, from Greene county.— 1 The Plaintiff in Error in this case, was tried and convicted as accessory before ! a the fact to the clime of murder, and j sentenced to death.

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 A Day too Late.—On Saturday night j last, twenty-four hours after the adjourn-) ment of the Methodist Protestant Gen-! eral Conference, the delegate from Ore gon reached Lynchburg, Va., to attend its session.

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. Seth W.

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.
