Mr.. Thomas Winans, of Baltimore. is out in
a card rcfuting the charge that the American
contractors for building the st. Petersburg
and Moscow Railroad had cheated the Govern
1ncnt by misrcpresenting the length of the road.
His letter disposcs satisfactorily of the charge,
which seems to have its origin in the spiteful
imaginations of certain English Engineers.

LOST ~ TIE Woops.-Last Friday, at noon,
party, consisting of George Smcall and two
of his sons, Joseph Bailey, Calvin Bailey, Geo
Boal and BENZ. Hartshorn, Jr., of Pike town
ship, started out to hunt chestnuts, on the old
Indiana read, between Nceper'S and the Gram
plan Hills road that leads to Punxsutawney.
Ar. Hartshorn was left to take care of the
wagon and horses, and put up shelter, whilst
the others took to the woods. The party did
not, however, return to the place of rendez-
rous agreed upon, that evening. Next morn
ing Mr.. II. fired his gun several times as sig
nal for the party, but hearing no response, he
concluded they had lost themselves. With
this impression on his mind, he hastcned to
Curwensville and induced a number of persons
OF that place and vicinity to go in search of
his companions. No trace of them was, how
ever, discovered until Sunday, about the md
die of the day, when they were found. They
had lost their way in the dense forest, and as
the sun had been obscured by clouds both days,
they had no guide by which to determine the
proper course to pursue, and accordingly kept
wandering around without being able TO extri-
cate themselves from their unpleasant situa-
tion. Having had nothing to eat for two days
ap1p pio md 70 of
tho weather, (it having rsiued the greater part
of the tiIno,) when found they were in Il hun
CRY and suffering condition.

named Brown, all mounted on fine gray horses,
rode into the amphitheatre, and displayed their
horsemanship, all being good riders. The eldest
aged forty the youngest twenty. They had
not all been together for fifteen years. Their mo-
ther was present, and they reigncd up in front of
the glorious matron, and saluted her, while she
shed tears of joy and pride.

DOyOn, who acted so insanely in the murder of
their sister and fight to GratiOt, were very un-
ruly when first put in Jail at Mt. Clemens, but af-

vanished. A post mOrtem examination Of the
body of Miss DoyOn disclosed that she had been
literally hacked to pieces by the msdmen or
tends The number of external wounds found
on the body was 2S5. ranging from small
wounds to those of considerable extent Twelve
ribs were broken, and the top and back of the
skull had been beaten to jelly. The case is
very extraordinary one.

THE ERuPTIoN or VEsUvIUs-The partieu
lars of the late eruption Of Vesuvius have not
como 10 hand. 1t occurred on the nights Of
Nay Ssth and 29th Streams of lava were
seen running from several eraters in various
directions, and the inhabitants in the direction
of the descending currents of liquid fire were
carrying of their furnitdre and all moyables OF
value. II the lava should continue its present
course to the sea, It would traverse the Castle
main Railway, and destroy part Of the town of
Pontiei
FuETHER PARTIcULAKs-The correspondent
Of the London Times gives an account Of the
early stages of the new eruption The writer
assembled Mount Vesuvius May 9th, and says
The entire of the lower part of the great cone
ofVesuvius appeared on fire, and thick masses
of smoke were thrown up, mixed with red-hot
stones and flakes of lava, we made o1r way up
to the point whence the stones, lava and smoke,
seemed to rise IN greatest quantities, and we
arrived on rise just over the greatest fissure-
II was now sufficiently dark to see accurately
the trace of fire from all the fssures we had
left below, and standing on a projecting pece
of lava, the entire lay at our feet the eruption
evidently was on the increase, and acres upon
acres seemed putting forth in fire. The stream
of burning lava now in the twilight became
awfully visible, and rolled along at a rapid pace
to the bottom of the valley, up to the very sides
of the Monte Somma- We were perfectly
amazed at a sight no pencil could portray or pen
describe
The g1ides do not seem to know exactly
what to make Of this eruption They all seem
to agree that it viii increase greatly-perhaps
extend all over the Valley-and at the rate it
was going II would not be long covering vast
district There has been no iow Of lava since
1855, and the upper mountain has been very
quiet far some time, and this new flow may or
may not lie extensive. The. torrent of lava at
one place could not be less than five or six feet
high, and came rolling along at the rate Of five
or SIX feet in minute. and the united stream
Of red matter could not be under eight OF ten
yards wide, and this ran on like a very rapid
river, until it was impeded BY the old lava lying
on the side Of the valley.
The exact spot Of the present eruption is at
the lower base Of the great one, and should
say about midway on ibe AtTio del CavaIl0, and
shout ? or ?! miles from the Hermitage
