The work On the Blue Ridge Railroad,
saws the Kcoue Courier, except the tunnel
ing, bridging and masonry, has been discon-
tinued west of Pendleton The road will be
completed to that point as early as possible.
The grading has been discontinued under
provision in the contracts between the COM
pany and contractors to that effect, for what
cause we have not certainly learned. The
Directors will meet shortly, when something
definite will be determined on. Our conf
dence inthe ultimate completion of the road
is still upabated, and we are inclined to the
opinion that the grading will be resumed at
an early day.
ON Monday last, (says the Lancaster
Ledger,) young man named Jackson was
killed in this District, by the accidental dis
charge of gun in his own hands. The
particulars, as We learned them, are singular.
One barrel of his gun was loaded, and whilst
in the act of loading the other, a small gourd
filled with shot slipped from his hand, and
falling upon the cock of the loaded barrel,
caused it to spring back and rebound with
sufficient force to explode the cap. The
load entered his side, and he died within a
few hours. Mr. Jackson was a resident of
Chester District, and was on a visit to the
house of Mr.. Jas. Douglass, of this District,
where the accident occurred.
- The London journals are all rejoicing
over victory won by the Daily News over
the Earl of Lpchan, in Court of Law.
The News, it seems, very severely censured
the Earls conduct in the Crimea, for which
he demanded full retraction and apology.
The editor of the Daily News refused to re-
tract, but offered to publish any letter which
the Earl might see fit to write in reply. This
offer was refused, and the Earl sued the
News for libel. Upon the trial the defence
called no witnesses, but contented itself with
a cross. examination of the Earl himself, and
submitted the case to the jury as one in
which there had clearly been nothing more
than such an expression of opinion upon a
matter of public interest as duty required.
The jury rendered verdict of acquittal
