CHEAT RIVER IN THIS. SrATE.-A corr
respondent of the National Intelligencer,
says of this curious river:
Few imagined we had near us so
great n wonder of nature as the falls of Il
Black Fork of Cheat river, wich descend "a
FIVE or six hundred feet in n number of
successive leaps, and arc as great CUE
riosity as the falls of Tequcndana in5ia
South America. The whole of the Allie /
ghany range to Georgia, contains remark {.
able scenery, and no mountains afford
finer subjects for the tourist and artist.

FATAL ACC1DENT.-On Saturday morn.
ing, the 2lst of last month, youthful
man by the name Of Bushrod Barron, from
PllliPpi, Barbour County, Va, arrived at
this place, by stock train. on the B. ~ o.
Il. H., on his way to Baltimore, with a
drove of cattle. Mr.. Barron jumped from
the train, and walking by the side of it as
1t moved slowly, and while thus walking,
his foot slipped and he fell, throwing one
arm upon the track-but not across it,
the arm was much mashed between the
elbow and the shoulder. He was imme-
dlateIy taken to the Hotel of Mr.. Stauo,
where every possible care and attention
was given him that his painful situation
required. Medical aid was at once called
in, and we believe he was considered doing
well, up to the following Thursday morn
ing when unfavorabe symptoms appeared
and on Friday, amputation being deem
ed necessary, the operation was according
~ performed on Friday evening by Drs
VIM. NJ. Hammond and II. Seeds. The
patient survived the operation but few
hours. On Saturday last his remains, ac-
companied by a brother, were taken to
the home he had but few days before
left in health and hope. His friends and
relatives have the heartfelt sympathies of
all acquainted with the circumstances of
his melancholy Observation-Disclosures Gaz.

TIE REMAINS OF PULAsKr.-A report
that the remains of Pulaski had been dis
covered has caused great controversy in
Georgia. A letter from Col. James
Lynch, of South Carolina. states that his
grandfather was surgeon in the army
and extracted the bullet which gave Pm
laski his death. He says:
Although a desperate wound, my
grandfather thought the count could have
recovered from it had he consented to
remain under his care and follow the
American army on litter. Count Pu.
laski, however, resisted this proposal, be-
cause he feared sortie and pursuit by
the British army, and his consequent cap
ture, in which event he believed that the
British government would have sent him
to Russia, power with whom he was In
deadly hostility. and whose persecution
had driven him from Poland an exile and
martyr. Rather than this. he said he

ADULTERATtoN OF DRu os, Gc.-At the
commencement of the present session Of
Congress, report from the u. s. Sur
geon General was presented, from which
1t appears that the adulteration Of drugs
and medicines is carried on more extern
slvely in the country since the passage of
the act of Congress to suppress the imporr
tation of such articles, so that, it is now
alleged to be difficult TO procure medt-
cInes which are not either mixed with
some foreign substance, or from which
some portion of the active principle has
not been substracted by some chemical
process. Thus it would seem that the.
effort to suppress the foreign trade, has
resulted in imparting an extraordinary
stimulus to the home manufacture OF the
spurious commodities.
DISTRIBUTIONS OF THE SAN FaAxc1sco
FUND.-The committe on .he San Fran

gives us some gossip from Europe touch
ing the war question, which IS interesting
and very important iftrue.' Wequote
therefrom.
PARIS, Jan. 5tll.-The news that has
Just been received from Russia is very se-
rlous However, I have been assured
that the Emperor regrets having advanced
SO far that be cannot recede. His Ian
kguage was: The Gear will not draw
back; my uncle penetrated TO Moscow
without causing Alexander to yield. An
alliance with Russia would have been
more valuable to me than one with Eng
land. BY the aid of Russia ahould
have had Belgium. But England will
never allow me to establish myself in Eu-
rope"
M, de Persigny received the Board Of
Brokers on new years day, and told them
that they might consider war as having
actually begun, and should consequently
hold themselves in readiness for loan of
;, 200, 600, 900 francs. which the. Government
would transact with the FIRST houses of
Paris. without paying them, as it has usu-
ally done, in rentes. NJ. Fould, who also
received the same body, was less warlike
than Persigney, but still in his turn re-
commended them to be prepared to aid
the necessities of State.
" The Emperor contcmplates the d.
vorce of the Princess Matilda from Prince
iDemldof, This measure Is Is urgently de-
manded by the Emperor's cousin

The MA1LLs.-Of the thousand and

life, a continued failure Of the mails is one
of the most grevious. During the whole

on Friday and Saturday it failed altoge.
