COLLISION ON THE SEABoARD AND ROANOKE
RAILRoAD.-A collision occurred on the Seaboard
and Roanoke Railroad on Friday last, at Trenson's
depot about 80 miles from Weldon, between the
passenger train from Portsmouth, and freight
train which was endeavorng to get off the track
The engines and tenders of both trains were thrown
off the track and very considerably injured. The
tenders were completely wrecked, and the baggage
crates of the passenger trains pretty much used up
though the baggage was uninjured. Mr.. Shannon,
the engineer Of the passenger train, had one of his
legs so badly crushed, that amputation became ne
cessary, and it was feared he would die A man
Jumped off the tender, and severely gashed in
the head No one else was injured The Will
mington Commercial, from which we gather this
information, is of opinion that carecssl ess was the
cause. The passenger train was late, and the en-
gineer instructed to pay no attention to signals
for way-passengers. The freight train was long
onetoo long, as the engineer Of that train suppos
ed, for the turn out and was still partially on the
main track, as the passenger train came up. The
depot agent waved his flag franticay, but no atten
ton was paid to it. and when the engineer of the
train saw the danger, 1t was too late to stop the
train. He became frightened and but for courage
OF the fireman, Joel Micln, the consequence would
have been much more dreadful. He stuck to the
engine and did the best he could to reverse it; but
had not strength enough to accomplish it alone.
The freight engine being nearly off the track, the
collision was oblique From the destruction which
was occasioned, it is wonderful that there was no
further injury to persons The company sustains a
loss of from 5000 to $4,000

SERENADE.-Smith's Armory Band, the
head and front musical combinations in the South
gave the dispatch" and its neghbors one OF their de-
ightful, soul-stirring serenaders at the wee-sall
hours of Friday night last, when music is always
sweetest to the drosy nearer, whose slumbers have
been agreeably disturbed by concord OF sweet
sounds. >, such only as can be produced by the en-
chanting notes of that famous buge and its harmonic
Gus accolnpaniments. We have often listened with
the liyelest feelings of emotion to the musical exc
cutions of this wetrained corps, feeling at the time
that they could be bettered but the serenade OF
Friday night eclpsed all Others and for one we are
now prepared to expect perfection at their hands.
We have spoken warmly in praise of this excellent
Band, but not than it deserves. Its members
all that we know-are kind-hearted, charitable
men-ready at all times and all occasions, to con
tribute portion of their labor to the aid OF the me-
cessitous and they therefore deserve to be fostered
and encouraged As proof of this, we refer to their
late concert in behalf of the New Orleans sufferers,
by which means they contributed at 500 to that mo-
bile cause Such acts deserve well at the hands OF
our people, and the Arnory Band viii never be me-
elected or forgotten by them.

which we may be permitted to translate in
eur rough way
With brandished sword which never yet
Was drawn against the foe,
Towards his ancient castle, let
This noble mortal go:
Take of your hats both near and far,
And bow to the Marquis of Carabas.
The revival of all the exploded forms and
pomp of the old counrtly splender, by Louis
Napoleon, has greatly surprised u.s. 1t is
doubtless good policy in him to make a show,
and distribute large sums Of money among the
thousands of working people in Paris, who
are occupied in making mere objects Of luxu-
ry His countrymen are fond of seeing fine
feathers, and it was to be expected that the
plunage of the Imperial followers would be
of the gaudiest. But we did not suppose that
the new man of the new dynasty, who struck
out for himself way, Independently of the
hereditary notions of sovereignty prevailing
around him, would bore himself with the tedi-
Gus and wearisome ceremonial of the past
age of monarchy-the more especially as in
marrying he preferred to fling aside the old
forms, $50 recently observed by the boyish
Duke of Brabant,l and get united to his Eu
genie, after the manner of private citizens.
If Louis likes it, however, who cares Let
him be as fine as he pleases, bat let him re-
member the magnifcence of former age and
It's consequences. The Elysee and the Tuille-
ries may perhaps provoke with their splen-
dour, feeling like that created by the Petit
TrianOn.

HON. DANIEL s. DICKINSON AND THE UNION

The duel followed, which terminated IN inc
death Of Legare. The parties. who attemp'-
ed to settle the difficulty seem to have over
looked entirely the only obstacle IN tne way
Dunovant had consented to give the expia'
nation sought by Legare verbally but LIE
care would he content with nothing short OF
a written statement. The umpires decided
that an explanation ought to be given in
courtesv but did not touch the only point OF
difficulty whether that explanation should be
rerb,i or scrftten. Both parties accepted the
tarms of settlement, each with his own under
standing of this undetermined point, and
went to the field finally to settle it. 1t was
certainly great oversight of the umpires.
