mouth relates sad scene witnessed there O
day or two since. A citizen passing on his
way to bury relative, heard the most heart
rsnding groans Of men and screams of wo.
man proceeding from house near by, and
went in to discover the cause. He found
two men with the corps of woman, and in
taking which down stairs they had jamed it
at the turning. He assisted them to release
the body and they then deserted it, and it was
some time before he could bribe even a
negro to bury it. Passing through the house
he saw eight men in one room, all down
with the fever, lying about on the floor, and
in their midst was the body of a robust look.
Ing companion, who had died during the
night, his comrades being too weak to lin

HEMARKABLE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Behr
the young man who had portion of his alb
domen and one hand shot away by the pre-.
mature discharge of cannon at .SeelyviIIe
while celebrating the 4th of July, has so
lar recovered as to be able to walk about
his room, with fair prospect of recovering
entirely. The nature of his body wound
was such we understand that he was not al.

bowels were kept perfectly quiet, free from
any movements, for three weeks; and not
till ater the fourth week was he permitted
to move from perfectly level and straight
position on his bed.-Honesdale Herald,

0F Gen. Stringfellow, the champion OF
the Slave Democracy in Kansas, in late
speech said, every National Democrat is
an sbolitionist in disguise. Such one
might not steal a nigger himself, but he
would pat on the back those who do" This
is queer talk from a Locofoco. Does the
Statesman endorse this sentiment, Does
it uphold the President for the rem val of
Reeder, for the purpose of pacifying such a
class of men7 The people would like to
know where the Ohio Loco1ocos stand on
that question!-O, s. Journal.
We believe Gen. Stringfellow has always

At Il O'Clock yesterday morning, man
named CHARtEs HOPPER, the driver Of a
coal wagon, was killed on the Camden and
Amboy Railroad, at Cooper's Creek, near
Camden, under the following circumstan-
ces: The deceased left Camden last night
atsleven O'Clock, in an empty wagon, drawn
oy pair ofmules. 1t is supposed that he
fell aleep soon after starting, and that the
animals progressed homeward by such route
as they liked best. The consequence was
chat the tram to this City ran them down,
killing the driver and the mules, and break
ing the wagon to pieces. The persons hav.
ing charge of the train knew nothing of an
obstacle on the Road until too late to avoid
the collision. The train sustained no in

phenomena were surprising, A splinter
