HEaLTH OF VIcE-PREs1DENT KING

HEaLTH OF V1cE-PREslDENr K1Nc.-
A correspondent of the New York Tri-
bnne has been informed by gentleman
who, a couple of weeks ago, spent day
with Mr.. King, near Matanzas, that he
is deplorably emaciated, and entertains
no hope Of recovering his health. He
visits the sugar house on the estate dali
ly, where the boiling operation is going
on. His friends think the steam from
the sugar kettle proves serviceable, but
he is skeptical. He has horror of dv-
ing in toreig land, and expects to leave
in the U. S. steamer Fulton, about the
lst OF April, for Mobile. His nieces,
Mrs. and Miss King, and nephew, Mr..
Beck. are with him. The proprietor of
the estate is Frenchman by birth, and
is most kind, hospitable and refined
old gentleman. The Vice. President has
no appetite and lives upon butter-milk.

SMALL NOTE LAw.-We have hereto

The Planters Advocate, printed at Up

ject, from which we take the FOLLOWING
extracts:
at is not I'VE who are law breakers.
1t is no mlsnomer to speak of Iawlexs
lauS. A law IL lauless when it is con.
trary to common sense, when three
fourths of the people, whom it is to be
binding on, are opposed to It, when it
can do nothing but trammel trade and
general business IN every portion of the
state, except the large towns and cities.
Upon the passage Of such an enactment,
the Legislators become lawles}, and
their supporters becomes also the OPP
ponents of all salutary and Legitimate

inefficient scheme as this. They can

Legislation, which, if carried INTO 9TH

SECOND DESPATCH.

The train consisted of baggage car
and three pas senger cars, and was in
charge of one of the most cautious and
sklll'ull conductors on the road. TO whom
no blame can possibly be attached. The
cars were drawn by one large and one
small engine. When passing the 50
foot filling on section Is, and descend.
ing curve grading of | IS feet, to Cheat
river, the large engine started the nails
binding the rails the chesnut cross-ties.
All the cars got over safely, except
the two last passenger cars, which by
the parting of the track, were thrown
down the river side, falling distance
of over 100 feet, and making four SOM
merSets in their fearful decent.
The heavy trucks of the cars caused
the loss of life by crushing the passen-
gers. OF some 40 persons IN the two
cars, the following were killed:--Dani-
Fl Holt, of the firm of Holt s. Malthv,
Baltimore; Aurelius SalIie, supposed to
be from South Carolina; Lewis Define,
French emlgrant returning home
from California; Richard Clayton. of
Wellsville, Va; a young lady and mid.
die aged gentleman, supposed to be
from kentucky; smallsrel son of Robt.
Murray, a supervisor of the Rail Road,
and child of Mr.. Cheese, of st. Louis.
Mr.. Cheese and lady were both severe
ly injured, and with three others of their
children are now here.
This is the first instance in which a
passenger was ever killed on the road
since its construction. Great efforts
will be made by the Company to pre-
vent the recurrence of similar accident

The deep remorse that should disqulet thee

The heavens above thee in thick clouds anayed
And well nigh crushed no earthly strength I'M

No friendly voice to say. "Bc not afraid 2"
God knows it all!
Art thou mourner? are thy tear-drops flowing
For one too early lost to earth and thee
The depths of grief no human spirit knowing,
Which moan in secret, like the moaning sea Z
God knows it all /!
Dost thou look back upon life of SHINING
Forward, and tremble for thy future lot
There's One who sees the end from the beginning
Thy tear OF penitence is uniorgot' -,

To save. forgive, and every wound to heal.
