ANOTHER RAIL ROAD ACciDENT.-I have Just time
TO tell you of another railroad accident About two
miles from the depot the cars were coming in rom

dashng the engine to pieces, and upsetting the bag
gage wagon. The connection was severed, and the
back with great violence. Some Of the passengers
leaped out, but one was injured The engineer, it
is thought, has been seriously hurt He complains
of his back, and says it is broken. The the

work with great inequality. The defect in this case,
however appears to have been in the quality of the
iron. If the managers ofraroads will not take pains
to guard against accidents, they will find their profits

wonder more accidents do not occur on our rail-
roads-they are so badly pat down. Nearly the
whole line of way from New York to Washington de-
viaes from horizontal position from three 10 four
inches almost every thirty yards. Travelling On rail
roads is almost as bad as on an old fashioned up hill
and down hill road. 1t is impossible to read while
the cars are going rapidly Why will our people play
the Yankee in the great works Of art and usefulness
The Washington Railway should be like floor and
the greatest precauton should be taken, for the Com
pany enjoy glorious monopoly of it. Only think of
two dollars and half for going 40 miles in Two hours
and half!
The passengers have all got in safely, in carriages
The injured man will recover.

18th inst. pursuant to the proclamation

published in the Natchez Free Trader,
of which the following is an extract {.
"Depend upon it, no stop laws will be
enacted, neither will private contracts
be violated by the legislature. There

Own UTAcTuREs We are gratiiied
to learn that an order has been received
in this town for a quantity of furniture to
be sent TO Norfolk by way Of Baltimore.
The reason Of this is. which is the best OF
all reasons, that articles Of Cabinet ware
are manufactured here in a superior man
ner. besides being furnished at cheaprates.
We state this fact for the purpose of show
ing how injudicious it is, to say the least,
in our citizens and. neighbours TO send a.
broad for manufactures when better can
be bought at home, and the money retain
ed among US for the encouragement and
and support Of an useful portion Of our
community.
We believe that almost every article in
general use can be obtained in this town
Of domestic manufacture, and we would
advise all those who may wish TO purchase
to call on our mechanics before sending
orders abroad They will then have the
advantage Of seeing before they buy, and
not be compelled to pay for any trashy ar
ticle that may be imposed upon them. %

"A Boston paper remarks with great
business and force, that the tornado
which is now sweeping over the land,
leaving desolation in its path, will prove
particularly destructive in its effects to
the laboring classes. Here the actual
suffering will be greater than in any
other condition Of society. They will
now see that there is a necessary con-
nexion between the poor AND the rich,
and that when the arm of enterprise is
paralyzed, the laborer is stricken to the
earth; when there is no encourage.

in building or in manufactures, the dis
appointment is felt with ten.fold force
by those of our citizens who gain their
