A TOUCHING IScIDESr.-The New Orleans Picayune
says that a few days since a gentleman of that city saw in
the streets a lovely little girl of tender years standing on the
~banquette bathed in tears. The good man approached her,
and taking her by the hand inquired the cause Of her anguish.
The dear little creature continued to sob bitterly, until at
length she exclaimed "My father and mother have been
taken to Heaven, and | am left an orphan" There were
three or more persons by at this time, and the feeingly eo-
quent words Of the engaging little one brought tears from
every eye. The worthy gentleman who first addressed her
said a few kind words with a view of relieving her., and then
said 81 will be to you a father, and my wife (and no man
has a better one) will greet you with a mothers smies.'' He
then took her by the hand and carried her to his residence.
This is an achievement, on the field Of mercy, of which any
good man should be proud.

.R0Wn0IN COLLEGE

NAMES OF COLLEGE BuILDINes.-At the late meeting oil
the Board of Bowdoin College names were given to two, oil
the College buildings, which had previously been designated
from their position merely. The North College building was
named WINTHROP HALL, in honor Of the celebrated JoHs
WINTHROP, the first Governor of Massachusetts. The South
building was named APPLETON HALL, in honor of DR.. Ar
PLEToS, formerly the learned and distinguished President OF
the College.
LAWRENCE FoUNDArIoS.-At the same meeting Of the
Board a permanent fund, TO the amount Of six thousand dol
lars, was established, denominated the "Lawrence Founda.
ton in aid OF poor students in Bowdoin College" the inte-
rest only to be applied for that purpose. The object Of this
Foundation is of vast importance. Many a young mans
heart will beam with hope, that, without some such aid,
would be entirely discouraged. Those who are acquainted
with the generous donor of this fund, Mrs. AMOS LAWRENCE,
of Boston, know well that it is no wish Of hers to have her
name publicly announced. But il seems TO be due to public
sentiment and to the general interests Of beneyolence that
the public should have an opportunity at least Of making the
return Of their grautude'to those whose benetactions SO justly
entitled them to it.
Pr BETA KApPA.-The annual oratons before the branch
of this society in Bowdoin College have been distinguished
for their ability. But none has ever been heard with deeper
interest, or has made a deeper impression than the grafton de-
livered the present year by the Rev. Mr.. PEABoDr, Of Bos-
ton. The orator selected for the next anniversary is Rev. DR..
PAnK, of the Theological Seminary, Andover. The officers
of the society are Hon. CHARLES s. DAvEIs, LID, Port
land, President Hon. GEoRGE EVANS, LID, Vice Presi-
dcnt.-Bosto atlas.
The honorary degree Of I'D. was conferred on the Hon.
Thomas III. BENroS, at the late annual commencement Of
the Missouri State University.

1t is gratifying to learn from almost every section Of the
country where agents have already entered upon the mission
of collection for this great national testimonial that contribu-
tons are made freely, in a patriotic spirit of libcrslity and en-
thusiasm and it is also gratifying to witness the spirit with
which the Board of Directors, through their General Agent,
Hon. e. Whitlesey, have entered upon this great and lauda.
bic work.
In addition to the appointments already announced, We are
pleased to see those of Messrs. WIN. II. BREREros, Of this
city, and g. E. W.. sHARRKrrs, of Pennsylvania, as agents
for the counties of Cumberland and Franklin, Pennsylvania
and we have every reason to believe, from the patriotic charac-
ter of the citizens Of those counties, and the energy and gen.
tlemanly bearing of these agents, that a rich and glorious
harvest awaits their effort.

a large number of the citizens of 81. Louis, after congratu-
iatihg Col. Fremont upon his arrival in that city, and reca-
Pitulatng his claims to public admiration, rendered hin an
invitation to a public dinner, as a small testimonial of their
regard and esteem. Col. F. thus replied
ST.. Louis, AuGusr 80, Is47.
GENTLEMEN | had the pleasure this morning to receive
your letter of this date, in which, with many kind assurances
OF welcome and congratulations on my return, you honor with
the strong expression of your appreciation nv geographical
iabors during the recent exploration in Oregon and North Ca
NORMA and the military operations in which sudden emer-
gencies involved me in California.
l beg you to receive my earnest acknowledgements for the
very favorable notice you have bestowed upon the published
results of those expeditions, and | regret that events which in
terrupted and more recent circumstances which abruptly ter
minated the last exploration, will permit me to give only a
brief and imperfect account of California and OF the interview
ing basin, which 1t had been the great object of the expedition
TO explore and determine.
The labor of many years in the interest of science. under-
taken and sustained with only a distant hope of gaining your
good opinion, has received, in the rapid progress Of events, an
caller reward than / could possibly have hoped for or antici-
pated but | am free to say that the highest pleasure I receiy-
ed from the perusal Of your letter was derived from your de-
cided approval OF my political course in North California.
Circumstances there made US, in connexion with the emf
grants to that country, involuntary witnesses and unwilling
actors at the birth oil a great nation but TO which we now
consider it our great good fortune to have aided in securing
the blessings of peace with civil and religious liberty.
Placed in a critical and delicate position, where imminent
danger urged immediate action, and where the principal Diff
Guilty lay ia knowing full well what must be done; where, in
a struggle barely for the right to live, every effort to secure
our safety involved unusual and grave responsibilities, | could
only hope from your forbearance a suspension of judgment,
until, with full possession Of facts, you would be able to de.
termine understandingly.
| had the qualification on my arrival to find that neither re-
moteness Of situation nor the more Immediately important and
interesting events at home had diverted your attention from
our conduct, but that from a knowledge only Of the leading
occurrences in California, it had been fully and completely
justified and sustained.
| regret that, under present circumstances, I cannot have
the pleasure of meeting you at the dinner which you have done
me the honor to offer me, but / beg you to accept the assur-
ances OF the high and grateful sense which l entertain of your
kindness and regard, and of the very hattering manner in
which you have expressed il.
With sentiments of respect and consideration, I am, gem
tlemen, your very obedient servant,

FATAL ACCIDENT.

CUMBERLAND, (MD.) SEPTEMBER 81.
\ On, Saturday morning las, about dusk, as one of the coaches
of the ''Good Intent Line was passing near the bridge over
Wils's Creek, about a mile from Cumberland. a burden train
in its descent from the Eckhart Mines had lust reached the
poin, wheIe the Mount Savage Railroad almost touches the
National Road. The coach was driven by Mr.. Thomas Ha-
ger, a most skilful driver and manager Of horses. As il near
ed the train the fireman cast out a large quantity of heated
cinders, which rolled down the embankment to the side of the
road, frightening the horses and turning them 10 the bank of
Wils's Creek. The driver with great exertion succeeded in
bringing his horses back into tho road, when the fireman again
discharged a mass of red hot cinders, which SO alarmed the
horses that he was unable to control them, and consequently
the coach was upset, making two somersets down the bank Of
the creek, at that place from fifteen to twenty feet high. One
of the passengers, Mr.. GEoReE 9. VINCENT, Of Erie county,
Pennsylvania, in attempting to escape from the upper door Of
the coach, was caught by his cloak, carried over with the Sc
cond turn, fell underneath, and received a conclusion Of the
brain, of which he died in the course Of an hour. notwithstand-
ing the efforts of Doctors Healy and Marshall. who were soon
at the spot, 10 relieve him. The body Of Mr.. Vincent was
brought to town, and on Sunday evening at three o'clock was
followed to the grave by a very large concourse Of our citizens.
Another passenger had an arm injured by thrusting il out
Of the window, and several others received cuts on the head,
while others escaped uninjured. The horses were accustom-
ed to meet the train, but never before had cinders been dis
charged from the engine. II was this that alarmed them, and
as the fireman had particular instructions from the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company never to throw out the hot Goals
at that point. he was Immediately discharged from their ser
vice.-CiriRdn.

HONORABLE FEELING.-We think we see the
proper feeling aroused at last in relation to the Ma
tional Monument TO the memory Of WASHINGTON.
The people Of the United States appear to have
made up their minds that this sacred duty must no
longer be neglected, and all classes are vying with
each other in seeing it discharged. Evidences OF
this feeling are showing themselves in all quarters
of the country. Among those who have acted
handsomely in the matter are Messrs. Adams &
Co. of the Express, who have offered to become
voluntary agents Of the Monumental Society, and
to transport at actual cost all such packages and
cases as the Society may have occasion to send 10
the several collectors and agents of the association
in the different parts of the United States and Ter
ritories, TO be paid by the consignees at the places
of delivery. This generous and patriotic conduct
is worthy of all praise, and will afford facilities as
well to the Society as to those disposed to join in
this great national discharge of duty, which will be
of essential service in bringing to an early compile
ton the great object before the nation nor will we
doubt that so noble an example will be as nobly
emulated by all classes of American citizens.

The Editors of the National Intelligencer have
received a copy of Mr.. YERBY's Autographed "Lists
of the Officers, &c. of the I'd Regiment of Missis-
sippi RiAemen," volunteers engaged in the Mexi-
can WARY
Mr.. YERBY informs the EditoIs that but for a most unfor-
tunate mistake in laying off the plate Of the List of the First
Regiment of Mississippi Rifemen, that that plate would have
been completed and the impressions ready for delivery some
weeks ago. An entire new plate has to be made, which
will of course require some time. There will also be two
other plates connected with the First Regiment, viz one
representing the names of the officers and men under fire at
Monterey, and the other those Of the officers and men under
fire at Buena Vista.
