Ir,anding of the little maid why she was not esrs
at her work. He took her into a ROOM and Iheard
the blows and the shrieks, as the poor thing was
beaten by that harsh wretch, who had no more feel
ing or compassion than an Arkansas overseer-
Had the girl been SO fortunate as to have black

send committee to look into her case; and would
report to thrilled world the horrbleness of that
brutality which infiicts stripes on the servant for
not being at work at SUNRISE but as the sufferer s
only little English girl with no friends, and born
to be servant and iit for nothing else, it would be
quite idle to expend sympathy on her, or sucn as

DISTRESSING CAsUALTY.-Lefters were received
in the city yesterday from the Rio Grande, bringing
the painful intelligence of the death OF our valued
young fellow -tOwnsman, IhOnas wafer Jones,
son of General Walter Jones. He was attached to
one of the surveying parties of the Mexican Boun.
dairy Commission, and was engaged in this duty on
the Lower Rio Grande when the sad accident hap
pened which suddenly closed his earthly career
This lamented youth possessed every manly and
aniable quality and the death of no one of his age
in our city would have been more deeply lamented
by the community or by so large and respected a
family circle. The following letter from Mr.. Rad
ziminski, chief of the party with which Mr.. Jones
employed, gives the particulars of the affecting
accident:
SIT is my painful duty to haveto announce to you
that it has pleased the awise Providence to termi
nate the days of my young friend and assistant, Mr.
Thomas Walter Jones' He was drowned this eve
ming ON our return from the survey, by the small
boat upsetting in squan
'sAlter the boat had almost filed, Mr.. Jones hand
ed me the instruments for the purpose OF giving his
assistance to bail the water but the attempt to bail
was followed by the boat filling completely, and
sinking beyond our depth Not knowing how to
swim and feeling firm bottom under my foot,
sprang up and came to the surface at the same time
with Jones' but he most unfortunately struck for
the shore, distant about twenty yards, and /, by
superhuman effort, succeeded in reaching my fin
gers ends 20 the Mexican, who being astride on the
capsized boat, pulled me on top OF it. My poor
young friend sunk halfway between us and the
shore to rise no more while few inches OF space
and as many seconds of time saved me-"
