The absorbing topic here at present is the war,
and almost the only movement to speak Of j. the
moving Of troops the extent Of which you may form
some idea of, when tell you that within the past
fortnight nearly 900 rank and file have been des.
patched from Ireland, upwar $ Of 5000 Of whom
took shipping from Cork. The 18th Hussars are
expected to embark from Kingstown tomorrow, and
other regiments are under orders for the East.
Speaking of movements" should have included
the " Exodus" which seems to have received new
impetus. The principal shipping ports are daily
crowded with emgrants, on their way to America.

The reQuistion for the aggregate meeting of Ro-
man Catholics TO oppose Mr.. Chambers motion for
q Parliamentary inquiry into converts is receiving
a vast number of signatures-the number forwarded
to the committee yesterday exceeded ten thousand.
Twentyseven Roman Catholic bishops and three
colonial bishops who at present in Ireland have
already signed. The signatures up to the present
time amount to nearly 10000 The demonstration,
which is fixed for the 18th Of this month is 1T will

The accounts from the principal seat Of war are

that the Turkish force, after inflicting more than
one severe check on the enemy, has fallen back

CONTINGENT AccoUNTs.-'The Carolnian of
Wednesday says:
"We will no doubt render service to our
readers by calling the attention Of the members
elect to the Legislature to the fact, that the
law requires the contingent accounts, against
the State to be handed in during the first three
days Of the session.
We think our exchanges in the State would
do service to their members and their con-
stitnents by calling their attention to the above,
as it frequently occurs that contingent accounts
are handed in after the report Of the Comp
troler General is made, and it then is impossi.

winter is of brief duration, with but a few
inches of snow; as indeed the same parallel in

in the Shawnee country, and every balmy day
closing in of dusk following sinuous trails;
wading grass chin deep, and upwards; running
clear of skunks; lettering adown slopes to
where gem of GOODNESS bubbled up atween
the .greenest mounds; peeping into Indian

at the positive ugness of squaws, especially

A correspondent of the N. Y. Spirit Of the
Times, Thomas Bang, records u most amusing
incident OF cockney sporting. In company
with chum, he set out at early dawn on a
cunning expedition, but after a tedious day of
it, found that they had bagged not even tom
tit. He begins by describing his charging the
gun, as follows :--"My weapon was one of the
shool-in.triangle order, and being Of liberal
disposition, poured in about gill Of powder
a handful or two of shot. and rammed down
the whole with half a newspaper-picked my
flint. that the tablespoonful of powder in the
pan might ignite, aud then felt ready for 'mur-
der most }oul,' should spring chicken fall be-
fore my summary proceedings" ..

Miraculous ESCAPE OF RAILROAD TRAIN.
"A few days ago when train on the New
York and Erie Railroad was within half mile
of bridge, it was hailed by two,or three men,
but the engineer, supposing them to be intox.
Gated, paid no attention to them, and dashed
on at full speed. When nearing the bridge,
however, he discovered that all did not appear
right, and Immediately reversed the engine
and put on the brakes, and succeeded in stop:
ping the train just as the fore wheels of the
locomotive ran on the bridge. The bridge
gave way under the locomotive and fell about
three feet and caught upon some timbers,
which sustained the weight until the locomo.
tive was lifted and backed off. One minute
MORE and the whole train must have been pre-
cipitated a distance Of some sixty feet, into q
rocky ravine. About two hundred passengers
were on the train. The bridge was being re
paired, and was supported by temporary props,
which could not possibly have borne;pp under
the train. 1t was truly wonderful escape.
