been quite calm in the political atmosphere, save
Mr.. Bolts burst of &C thunder - from Washington.

ACCIDENT AT NEWARK.

The New York Correspondent of the Washington
Union, under date of March 81, says:
"The city was startled this morning by the report
of terrible accident the usually safe and unevent-
full railroad route to Philadelphia. The drawbrdge
at Newark having been left open, and it is said, the
engineer not seeing the flag, the whole train plunged
at full speed head first, into the Passac, burying the
locomotive tender, baggage and half of the second
class car in the river The confusion and terror,
may be imagined, were extreme. In the first panic,
many lives were supposed to be lost; but there is
reason to hope since, that though many suffered ser
GUS injuries, none were killed. Mr.. Van Buren was
a passenger in the cars, but got out unhurt. Tho
engineer escaped by cling to overhead, just as
the train was going over! 1t is to be hope that
there will be at rigid investigation, and the
cuIpable parties, if any there are, exposed to the
strongest public censure."
A gentleman of Raleigh, who was on the cars at
the time, informs sus that the passengers escaped
with their lives by hairs breadth. Fortunately the
locomotive tender, and baggage broke loose from
the passenger cars, but they left almost hang
ing over the opening. A foot two more, and they
must also have gone down, with some three hundred
passengers! The entire blame, it is said, justly at
taches to the engineer.

A CASE OF BIGAMY!

~ the 18th of February last, Erasmus D. Haynes,
,.,erlv of Portsmouth, Virginia, was married near
rs City, to Miss Susan Ann, daughter of the late
william H. Royster. The marriage was published
= the Raleigh papers-republished in the Portsmouth
..ners-and soon after information was conveyed to
his place by letter, that Haynes had wife in Ports
aoutb. and two three children! On the 18th
n.tant he left this place for Charleston, South Caro-
lima. taking his last wife with him.
HAYNES is Cabinet-Maker by trade. He has
boen described to US quite small man, with
mild pleasant, and intelligent countenance. His
hair is dark brown, and nearly black-his beard is
red. and his eyes are blue or gray. He took some
,,os with him in his trunk.
It is hoped that the Police Officers out South will
he on the alert for this scoundrel and if possible,
crest him. Such crime as the one of which he has
been guilty, deserves the heaviest punishment. And
should the unfortunate girl become acquainted with
her painful situation, and desire to return to her dis
uessed mother, Stage Contractors, Rail Road and
Steamboat Agents, and others, will do service to
humanity by giving her free passage, and such
other assistance as she may need.
