SAD AccIpENT-Sepen Men Dro,onea.-During
the trip of the R. h: Winslow from New Orleans
to this port, seven of her crew were unfortunately
drowned. They were foreigners; four of them had
shipped at New Orleans, and the other three at
Cincinnati. The accident occurred while the boat
was about to take wood boat in tow, in Amen
ican Bend, in the Mississippi river. large drift
log had lodged in the water wheel, AMI the men
had entered the wheel house, a common occur
renee, to dislodge it. The engineswere stopped,
and the water wheel stationary at the time. The
men jumped on the wheel TO tbr6akit down with
their weight, and after being In that osition
short time, they suddenly stepped off on to the foot
board, plank stationed IN the wheel house, when
oneendg gave way, and the eight men were instan-
taneously preciptated into the river, all of whom
were drow ned but one.
James Walters, the third engineer, was the only
one saved. The other seven, strange as it may
appear, sunk ct once, and nothing was seen of
them afterwards Their hats were picked up in
the river, and tits supposed that they chung to each
other as they fellinthe water, and by that means
all were drowned together. The engineer who
escaped had the bosom of his shirt torn off, which
was eyidentlydone blythe grasp of one of the
drowning men. Capt M'GilI and his officers
made every effort to save them, but failed,
though at the spot on the instant. The names of
two of the unfortunate were Stephen Jordan and
Philip Troce. The occurrence was one Of those
unforseen events that could not beaYerted. Three
of the men had milies.-LouisuiHe Courier.

represented l.y a score of delegates. How great
the change! Now the denomination Ill Virginia
numbered % Associations, over 600 churches, and

WOMEN AND FLowERs,-The editor of the Louis
Vile Journal has very readable article under
this head, from which we cut the closing para-
graph.
BLESSINGS on the heads of those who send flow
cry presents to those whose nergies have been
desolated by diseased Flowers impart not only
fragrance and beauty to one's sick room, but they
absolutely light up the gloom that hangs around II
like a dark curtain, and causes cheerulneSs TO
take the place of heavness and oppression of
heart. Often has our soul felt exceedingly CRATE
full to thee dear women, who have considered our
low estate, and sent flowers, fresh, fragrant and
beautiful, to cheer our invalidism. Could we strew
their pathway through life with flowers, how eager
ly would our hand perform the task! Had flowers
no othe. office than to minister 10 the pleasures oil
the sick, that oil itself would be reason sufficient
why they should be cultivated. But when we re-
mem. er that they net only an ever pleasant
Joy to the eye, but also true and geItel teach
erS of moral truth and excellence, as well as ten
der prompters to the highest well as the most
refined sentiments, we can perceive OF how great
importance it is that the hand and heart of wo-
mans power is in her loneliness, and she ought TO
do every thing 10 encourageit. Her love illness las
broken the bondage III which many SINFUL man
was bound, and which had resisted persuasion and
force through many year. Let her increase hel
power by adding to her loneliness and this she will
not fail to do if she gives up 10 love OF 'the
beautiful poetrI of earth.'"

SHIP WILLIAM AND MARY.-We have annouc-
ed the rescue and arrival at Nassau, N. P, of the
passengers. $50 in number, and the crew, OF this
l-fated ship, with the exception of two, who in

Three of the crew who have arrived at this port
state, that after the ship struck, they let go one
anchor. The boats were got out, two of which
were stove. Ate o'clock, A. NJ, the captain,

endeayoring to get in the long boat, drowned.

D-The following paragraph shows the way
they do things in England when an accident hap
pens on Railroad. We copy from the London
Wines:
"The responsibility of railway companies is com
meacrg in right earnest. On the 5th ult., an en-
CINE driver aud stoker lost their lives by an ac-
citent on the York and North Midland road. An
inv zstigation into the causes of the catastrophe
was instituted on the day following, was adjourn
ell for short period, and concluded by the
verdict of the jury on Tuesday last. This verdict
is nothing less than Manslaughter against the Di-
reetors of the company; that Tow, for the first
time, tt e actual managers of railway brought
to personal account tor the casualties of the line
under theit control.''
This s hitting the nail on the head. If Presi-
dents and Directors of Railroad Companies in this
country were held accountable in this way for
the discharge of their duties, we should have less
disposition exhibited the part of ambitious
gentlemen to ge; at the head of more corporations
of this kind than they could properly manage.
And we should, in consequence, have fewer hor-
rible accidents to record, such as have lately
shocked The community, and bitterly wrung the
hearts of thousands.
