RAILROAD BRIDGE BURNT!

We regret to find the following in the last Well
don Patriot
"SEABoARD AND ROANOKE RAILROAD BRIDGE ACROSS
ROANOKE IN ASHES! This morning about o'clock.
the bridge across Roanoke, known as the Weldon
Toll Bridge" and part of the Seaboard and Roam
oke Railroad, discovered TO be on IRE, and IN
little more than an hour. the whole bridge, upwards
of 600 yards long, was burned TO the waters edge.
This is truly misfortune. The Company had but
recently repaired the bridge at very heavy expense,
so that their train of uld Cross, and were
fair way realize the highest hopes of her friends.
But alas nothing now remains Of that mighty Struc-
tnre, the rock pillars, TO tell of its having ever
existed.
This was one among the largest bridges in the
United States, and the original cost of its consuc.
ton exceeded 100000. We have not been able to
learn whether insurance had been effected on 1t:
we fear, however, there was none.
How the bridge caught on fire we have not been
able to learn. 1t is supposed that the train which
passed over about o'clock this morning, set fire to
some rotten timbers which very dry and chaiy'
which lay under the bridge, and from which the
bridge itself took fire.

DEATH OF MR.. BUMPAss.

We record with deep regret the death of the Rev.
S. D. Bumpass, of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
He died in Salisbury, the l1th instant whittier
he had gone to attend the Conference. His own pa
Per,the Weekly Message, announcing his death, says
Sc Brother BUMPAss was man of acute mind. He
was laborous student. He sought to cultivate his
intellect to its highest capacity He was theoio-
gian-a clear, discriminating, original. andimPressive
preacher. He had few equals in successful pastoral
labor. He had the simplicity of little child He
was a warrn-h hearted friend. He loved his ministerial
brethren ardently. He was ready for every good
work. The education of ministers and ministers
children lay near his heart. Greensborongh Female
College has lost Of Its hest friends and most ef-
ficient We all have lost: but he has gained
He died the 11th instant, in the AID year of his
age-was buried The 18Th. On the morning of
Sunday the 10Th. the Rev. James Jameson preached
an instructive sermon the melancholy occasion, in
the Methodist Church in Greensborough, and the sub
ject was made further profitable by an impressive
discourse at night from the Rev. S. M. Frost.
The above does but simple justice to the deceased.
We knew him for many years, and we always regard
ed him as one of the best and purest of men. He
has gone to his reward.
The Message thus speaks of the heavy calamity
which has beaIIen his wife:
=. Her health is delicate. When the ministers re-
turned from Conference and she learned the
illness of her husband, she prevented from go
ing to him by the sickness of of her children.
While watching in feebIeness by her sinking child,
the intelligence from Salisbury became more and more
distressing. At last the little boy died. and friends
carried him from the house to the grave yard, she
commenced her melancholy journey to her dying
husband The tidings on the road gave her no com-
fort. When she reached the bedside of her best
earthly friend he did not recognise her. For only
brief space before he died. he sufficiently rational

made melancholy return TO her habilation, and while
standing beside the open grave of her husband, she

this profoundly depressing to minister to the
wants of very sick little daughter. Ii has seldom
been lot TO be witness of such complicated dis
tress, and we have never more triumphant grace
than the Holy Spirit has impaired to sister.
These her first Affections, and yet, delicate
she is, she bears them with heroic forttude. Let
