MELANCHOLY OCcURRENCE-We lame Mt to
state that an accident of most distressing
nature occurred at West Point on Monday
last, the circumstances of which are as fol-
lows: two of the cadets, during the recess Of
study, commenced amusing themselves by
fencing unmaskcd, and with foils which were
unfortunately without buttons at the end.
In the course of a few passes one of the
young gentlemen, Mr.. Carter from Virgin
ia,received the point of his antagonists weap-
on in the eye, passing through that organ
deep into the brain. The unfortunate youth
instantly fell, deprived of sense and motion,
and remained in that condition nine hours at
the end of which period, Notwithstanding the
most prompt and efficient medical aid, he ex.
pired. Our informant states that the wound,
which was in the under part of the eye, had
merely the appearance of a small scratch, and
bled very little. The young gentleman who
unhappily caused the accident has been al
most bereft Of reason ever since-he is the
son of distinguished officer of our navy. A
singular fatality seems to attend the family of
MIR. Carter; this is the third of his sons who
have died violent deaths. The elder was kill
led in duel, the second came to his death by
accident, and the fate Of the third is recount
ed in the above statement.-[ " y Courier

The new and beautiful steamboat Lcx-
ington, said to be by some of the New
Workers the fastest boat in the world, on
her first return trip to New Nork from
Providence, performed the whole dis
tance in eleren hours and JfJly-nine min
nies-the shortest trip ever made be-
tween the two cities. On Sunday morn
ing last, the Lexington made her pas
sage from Providence to Newport in the
short space Of one hour and thirty scren
minutes! and although the sea was rough
she accomplished her passage to New
York in - hours and half from Provi-
dence-fully proving herself to be an
excellent sea boat. Her passage from
New-Y York to Providence on Tuesday
last, was made in little over l2 hours.
Yesterday morning she arrived here from
Providence, on her way TO New-York,
in one hour and forty fire minutes, with
the tide against her. She was built cx-
pressly for this route, to run through by
day light, and from the specimens we
have already had Of her speed, there is
no question Of her being able to accom-
plish her passages with ease within the
time calculated. A passage to New
York is now reduced to a mere pleasure
excursion.

presses began TO find fault with the inhu-'
ence Of the small States in such an
event, and surely it becomes the yeo-
manry Of our little State to use every
exertion to retain this power, and to
make it felt by those who tremble at its
exercise. If they would do this, and do
it efieclually, they must be active in de-
lsntng DyTEE J. PEARcE. Let them
recollect the promises which at our last
election he made to both parties. Let
them recoIect the alacrity he manifest
ed in aiding and assisting in the Poin-
dexter affair, and if they deem him wor-
Thy of support, it will be sure pledge
that they prefer treachery to fidelity
corruption to honesty. Let them recol-
lect too that if they give their support to
Dutee J. Pearce, and the candidate
that will be associated with him, that
they will virtually vote for Van Buren,
upon the event Of his election devolving
upon the House, aud will sustain all that
prescription and corruption which has
distinguished his attempts to place him
self before the people as candidate for
the Presidency, and which finds ready
friend and warm advocate in Dutee j.
Pcarce.-We would deprecate the cleo
ton of the latter person as disgrace to
the State, and we would therefore call
upon the Wing freemen in every town
to be represented in the coming cleo
ton. In April they rebuked, nobly re-
buked, the proud boasting of this vain
and empty politician, and We hope they
will not relinquish the advantages which
they then obtained. If they would not
do this, we entreat them earnestly to en-
ter heart and soul into all the primary
arrangements necessary to ensure the
absolute and overwhelming defeat of Du-
tee J. Pearce.
