do not expect any immediate pursuance OF

as likely to begin before next spring. In form

for the wind that blew as elsewhere; but which
was remarkable for the amount OF thunder and

The whole region of Western Virginia (says
one OF our exchange papers) is rapidly filling
up. The tide of immigration is pouring in
from all quarters. Few have any adequate
conception of the extent or character of this
incoming. Hitherto, so scattering were our
settlements and SO small the companies of new
corners, that most of them found possessions
and habitatons along the margins of rivers and
lesser streams. Not so now. The low lands
are pretty well filIed-too much crowded for
comfort to the hardy pioneers, who flee the
denser nei ,hborhood and seek new homes up
on the uplands thus peoplng large tracts of
country which have long lain waste, the domain
Of the deer and other wild beasts.

The ACCIDENT AND RACE AT HAyANA.-A
correspondent of The Charleston Courier under
date oil Havana. July 49," gives tbs following
account Of the recent accident at a race there,
and the race that afterwards took piece
The race took place in the Campo Micetar
The crowd was great, composed ofall colors
and conditions Inside there were several stands
built up with seats, to the height of TWEEN.

commencement of the race. A friend who
was within six feet Of the spot where the
accident happened describes he scene as fol-
lows The structure was very slightly built,
and through a rush OF persons to take posses

so. 1t was crowded 10 excess; upwards OF
thousand persons being collected upon
this single stand, which was meant for Blu,
two hundred and as most of the occupants
were of disordery description, the movement
caused 10y their fighting and pulling one anoth-

My witness observed the building swsying
to and fro and expected catastrophe-
Upon the entrance OF the Captain General the
whole mass arose the better to see him. and by
side movement in taking their seats again,
their weight bore upon weak place. and, in
the twlnkLng of an eye, the whole fabric fell

persons were precipiiated. one upon another
In short time, those who were able came
crawling out from the ruin Some TORN by the
spikes which held the pIanks together. whilst
others were dreadiully hurt by the splinters Of
the broken timber. All were more or less
hurt but numbers lay where they fell. un.

HORRORS PENETRATED AT MAMMA
letter from Canton, China, speaking of the
capture of Nankin by the rebels, says:
"Oi the Tartar garrison, more than 10000,
including the families of tho soldiers, women
and children, were either put to the sword or
committed suicide it being point of honor
with that singular people to perish rather than
to yield. Every one of the priests, whet or
of the Buddhist or Taouist religion, and who
were very numerous there, were massacred
Their numbers could not have been less than
1900 or 1900; while those killed in the as
sault, the mining of the walls, and the entry of
the rebels, are said 10 amount to over 10000
men. Very many families were completely
annih,lated by suicide. The streets were so
blocked up with dead bodies. that in passing
from point to point, the conqucrors burst open
doors of houses, private as well as public, and
threw them inside, as the Chinese expressed it
as ii they had been logs OF wood.
