BY THE EXILE-NoT OF ERIN.
Wee Potomac. mid the FOUNTAINS
Pra,hing, toddling like child,
Nourished by the singing fountains,
Feeding thee with music wild.
Strong Potomac, adolescen,,
Rushing teckIessIy along,
o., like youth when love is present,
Ripping with dreamy song.
Grand Potomac, monarch River,
Claiming tribute every where,
From thy vassas who deliver,
Willingly, each one his share.
Noble River, onward flowing,
Through rugged pass, or quiet glade
Where the grim old forest growing
Gloom thy waters with theiI shade.
Softly Aowing-moving only,
Where the fertile meadow teens,
Roaring through the mountains lonely
Where the Eagle scars and screams.
Gently now and calm as maiden,
Undisturbed by love, may be,
Now. with wrath and fury laden,
Whirling madly 10 the sea.
Now thy full, free volume rolling
Where the village sPire ascends,
Now, OF city bells the tolling
With thy softer music blends.
In thine anger, calling loudly
TO the rocks Thy shores upon,
But in silence marching proudly
By the tomb of Washington.
Noble River ! am praying
Once again thy banks to see,
Where from morn ill evening slraying
My young footsteps wont to be.
Where, with one, since passed TO heavei
| have culled such precious flowers,
AS, alas are rarely given
TO this weary life of ours.
All, when this sad life is ended
This dull dream of pain is DER
When my heart with dust is blended
lie, me rest upon Thy shore.

Death of Col. John +. Hamtramck.


l, gives us pain 10 record the demise OF
Col. John Z. Hamiramck, our much es.
teemed and popular townsman, who died
at his residence in this place, after an ILL
ness of not quite one week, on Wednes-
day evening last, the 2lsl inst, at about
S o'clock, of a combination of diseases
an affection of the kidneys, liver, spine,
&c, aged 60 years and days. In his
death we have lost useful citizen and
an influential member of society ; one
who was always ready TO lend helping
hand for the promotion Of any measure
calculated 10 benefit the community. He
was kind husband, doaling father, a
true friend and obliging neighbor, and his
death is heavy loss alike to his family
and the community. Col. Hamtramck
was emphatically military man ; and in
the. profession of arms, 10 which he devo-
ted his life, had. We suppose, few if any
superiors in Tie Stale.
From what we have been able TO learn,
he was born in Fort Wayne, Ind, gradua-
ted at w Point, served a term in The
Florida war,aEd was appointed Colonel Of
the Virginia Regiment tina, served in the
late war with Mexico.in which service he
continued until peace was concluded be-
tween the two countries. AT the time Of
his death he held the Cap,aincy Of the
Ligh,-Infan,ry of this place, and by his
kind and courteous bearing had endeared
himself to all under his command. He
met the last great enemy as might have
been expected Of brave man--wi.h
calmness and composure.
"How sleep the brave who sink to rest,
With all their counlry's wishes blest"
His remains were inferred yesterday az
terhoon friday in the family burial
ground near town, in presence of his
friends, the Military, and a large con-
course of persons. May he rest in peace /!
ukmore minute and extended view Of
the life and career of Col. Hamlramck
will be given in orr next issue.

900 herring and 500 shad arrived at the
Fish wharf, from White Point, and H.
600 herring and or 500 shad from Sio'

several other arrivals of shad and herring,
though not in such large quantities from
the other landings. We find the follow

urday 1.-The proprietor of one OF the
Fisheries al Arkendale, on the Potomac
and one of Finnel's. lower down on the

of the very bad luck attending their ope'
ra,ions this season.
Potomac herring sell in our streets a
10 per hundred, and shad from the
Rappahannock at ssal0 per hundred
Potomac shad sell for as much at "tht
Shore" as those from the RappahannocE
do in our market.
The supply of fish will be decidedly
short this season,as there is not the slight
est probability of any improvement in The

expediency of nominating candidates at

Mr.. Il. #. Earnshaw, responded, and
moved that the convention proceed to bal

that as Charlestown and other precincts

sable to postpone the Convention until

pressed.
Mr.. Earnshaw replied and insisted on
his motion.
The chairman stated, that if the Con-
ven,ion be postponed, for week, there
would be abundant time left, before the
dav OF election to canvass the county, and
he therefore urged that the postponemen;
be made.

mpr motion, and moved, that when the
Convention adjourn, it adjourn 10 meet
on Monday, April Goth, in this Hall at |

Fatal Railroad Accidens.

AS one Of the tonnage trains from farK-
ersburg was on lis way towards Grafton,
on The Northwestern Virginia Railroad,
on Friday night last, fatal accident occur
red. When near West Union, after mid
night, the engine struck horse as ii
reached a tressei bridge crossing fork OF
tie Monongatela river. Though the en-
CINE had modern shaped cow-calcher the
horse was not thrown off The track, but
fell under the wheels of the engine which
was thereby driven from the track about
the centre of bridge and fell over into the
river, 35 feet below, followed by eight Of
the twelve cars attached, loaded with
heavy produce. The water was at least
ten feet deep, and the cars and engin were
almost entirely submerged.
The most fatal result Of the accident is
vet 10 be told, no less than three men lost
their lives by the disaster. They were:
the engine man, named G.. Hilcerbrandl;
the fireman w. Clinton, and man, who
was learning the grades a. fireman,
named Henry Harvey, all of whom were
killed. either by the violence Of the fall or
by being drowned. HilderbrandI was got
ont before life was extinct, but died al
most Immediately. The bodies of the
Others were not recovered for some hours
af,erward. The unfortunate men were
all at their posts when the disaster occur
red. The brakeman, named l.. Wilson,
escaped in a miraculous way. He was
about the middle of the train and went
down with the sixth car. lie was enlang-
led with the wreck, and was not recovered
until after an hours offorl by tue conduc-
tor, Mr.. Finnel, who swan ont 10 him
and sustained his head out of the wafer TO
prevent his downing. When got out he
was found 10 be but slightly injured.
The fifth man upon the train who was
the conductor, was the only one who did
not 90 down with the wreck, his duty re-
curing him 10 be upon the last car Of the
train.
The loss by this accident will probably
be not less than ten thousand dollars.
The freight was mostly composed of bar
relied whiskey, alcohol, and casked meat
and is no, likely 10 be seriously damaged.
The principal injury will be to the machl-
merry and cars. The train was running at
its regular speed of ten miles Der hour.
The bridge is regular truss bridge, and
the horse in attempting 10 cross II had fall
len with his legs between the ties, leaving
his body above, directly in the way of the
cowcatcher. This position prevented the
engine from throwing him from The track
and thus occasioned the accident. No
damage was done TO the bridge.--Bah.
