INciprrT OF TRAvrL.-A gentleman who came
passenger in one of the western trains informs
Of an dcidcnt worthy of recording. The rain of
Friday night did good deal Of temporary dam
ago to the railroad at various points between Co
lumbia and Philadelphia. The train he was in was
subjected to number of delays in consequence.
Two Of the cars once were prccipitated down de-
clivity, though no one. fortunately, was injured.
But the incident we intended to relate was this.
The train, while proceeding at a rapid rate, was
suddenly stopped. Il turned out that the road, for
several yards, had been torn up by the water. This
having been discovered by colored man, he had
stood for hours in the storm to give warning Of
the danger. The engineer saw him in time to
verse the locomotive. Thus by this act of African
nobility, was a catastrophe prevented, and many
lives saved The railroad company ought to con-
fer spon this colored man life reward.
