Henry Taylor, a negro who works for
Mr. J. J. Jackson, pushed jtimself in

impudent negro replied that he dug
that well, and he would do as he d—d
please. • «

when the negro.pnshpdjijni,,down
the steps. When Kemp arose he
struck the negrt^in the heatl with a
beer glass, and drew first blood.
Knives were drawn, and parties ii>-
terfered'on both sides. The negro
was finally am sted. This case should
be made an example. Impudent negroes
must be taught a lesson. Now is the
time to strike. Particulars are not
given fully, because there will be an
investigation, and we trust full jus

It will probably be a surprise to
your readers in Columbus, and in
Chalt.hoochee, Marion and Stewart
counties to learn that the'r cherished
hope of a new railroad has been nip
ped in the bud. The Brunswick &
Western railroad intended to extend
their road northward from Albany,
and they had surveying parties in tlie
field finding ont the best route. Yes
terday the strong arm of the Central
railroad company reached forth and
grasped the prize—in other words the
Central bought the controlling interest
iu the Brunswick & Western. This, 1
think, means a suspension of the work
and of the project. If the Brunswick
& Western had succeeded in building
their line it would have helped Bruns
wick *n hurt Savannah, and the Cen
tral railroad would have suffered ac
cordingly.
In regard to the above report to the
effect that the Central had purchased
the Brunswick and Western, we are
anthorized to deny it in toto. The
General Manager and the Superinten
dent say that tbe report is founded on
the motors circulating in this city last
week to the same efiect They think
if there were any grounds tor the re
port, they would be notified of it, oral
least be estopped from making exten
sive improvements and heavy expendi
tures. Mi. Meader received a tele
gram last night from Atlanta denying
the report before he read it in the
Constitution. Messrs. Morse and
Meader are very positive in their de
nial. We have reproduced the arti
cle, and are anthorized to pronounce
it false in every respect.

A gentleman who claims to know
whereof he speaks, says that the re
port tbat the Central Railroad Compa
ny had purchased a controlling inter
est in the Brunswick and Western, is
incorrect He says that Mr. Morse,
the General Manager of the Brunswick
and Western, informed him since the
publication of the report tbat it was
not true. As an evidence of tbe in
correctness of the report, the gentle
man says that a large force is kept
constantly at work day and night
building the bridge across the Flint
river at Albany. A large force was
engaged in this work (Sunday night, so
as to complete the road across the
Flint within the time agreed to by
the purchasers. We trust that the
gentleman has been correctly inform
ed, and that the road will yet be ex
tended to Columbus.—Columbus En

The above is the substance of the

sonally from Mr. Morse, General

ion, from the lights before ns, that
there has been no sale of the road,
and that it will be pul through to
Columbus.
A RAILROAD HORROR.

Collision.
Special to tbe Times-Pen ocraL
Albion, N. Y., July 28.—A terri
ble accident occurred on the Rome,
Watertown and *Ogdensburg Rail
road at Carleton Station, at 9:30
o’clock last evening, by which 19 per
sons were killed and 30 wounded. The
train was a double-header excursion
train, and was bornd for Clayton
with “Thousand Islands” tourists,
mostly from Michigan. It was be
hind time, and at the time of the col
lision was running at the rate of 40
miles an hour. The wind was blow
ing a gale, and had blown a freight
car off a side track partly on the
main track. When the excursion
train came thundering along tbe col
lision occurred,-throwing one engine
on its end and the other into a ditch.
The baggage car and two sleeper*
were completely demolished. The
cars were piled upon one another
until it was one heap of ruins.
At the time a heavy thunder show
er was passing over; the Dight was
dark. The cries and shrieks of the
dying and wounded were terrible.
The crash was heard three miles
away. The country is thinly settled,
aud it was some time before assistance
could be obtained.
Coroner Dr. Cochrane, of Albion,
was sent for, and the work of recover
ing the bodies commenced.

Handwriting of DIatInzntailed Men.
Judge Kit Warren, in one respect
is a second edition of Horace tireely—
chirographically speaking. He says
he is debarred front writing a great
many fanny pieces because the labor
of translating the articles for the print
ers is so laborious. He bas only one
printer in his office tbat dares tackle
one of his articles, and he is failing
rapidly. He is also like a woman, in
that it is a physical impossibility for
him io write on any piece of furniture
except his lap. He says, however,
tbat when he gets down to work in
earnest and lakes pains, he writes
pretty well.
The writer is hereby reminded of
an anecdote told at tbe expense of tbe
late Gen. Eli Warren, than whom
there was no better man. It was told
that in the trial of a certain case in
which Gen. Warren had at one time
been intere.ted, that it bccame-neces-
airy to read a certain paper to the jury.
All the lawyers engaged in the ease
gave it up, and finally the jndge es
sayed to decipher it. He failed. Tbe
court then addressed itself to General
Warren, who was sitting at his desk:
“General Warren, can yon read this
paper?”
“Certainly, your Honor. I think l
am able to read writing.”.
“Then please to read thts.”
The General took it, looked Jl over,
turned it upside down, sideways and
all ways. Finally he said very sol
emnly:
“If yonr Honor please, the man that
wrote this was either drank ora fool.”
“Gen. Warren,said the Court,“thon
art the man.”
The General stoutly denied all con
nection with the paper in any respect,
but when the case was explained to
him, and his former connection there
with, he at once read the paper with
out hesitation.
We think this wa< owing to the
General’s faultless memory, and not to
the recognition of the hand writing.
Gen. Warren, about three years before
he died, repeated to the writer, Gov.
Troup’s inaugural address witliou t
missing a word. lie was so great an
admirer of Gov. Troup that every
word that fell from his lips was burn
ed upon Iiis brain. -Gen • Warren
was a member of the Legislature at
tbe time Gov. Troup was inaugurated,
and said be remembered not only the
words but the very tones and inflec
tions of voice. ’I - ’
But we did not start out to in this
strain ■ Involuntarily we have-drifted
into recollection of tbe past. Judge
Warren will not be offended at hav
ing his name connected in the same
article with such men as Gen. War
ren, even at the expense of his repu
tation as a beautiful writer.
