The Late Terrible Disaster on the Nus
cogee Railroad.

We received no papers from Columbus
Ga, by last nights mail, although the issues
Of Saturday morning last, were about due.
The Savannah Republican Of Saturday NOR
ming has the following paragraph concern
ing the heart-rcnding calamity:
It is with pain that wo record, this morn
ing, the most fearful catastrophe that has
marked the history of railroads in our State
Full particulars Of the distressing events, SO
far as they have reached us, will be found
under our telegraphic head, and as it was
purely accidental, we have nc desire to dwell
upon the heart-rending details.
It is remarkable fact that two such dis
asters should have occurred On the same
road and within half hour Of the same time
and that each train should but few mo-
ments previous, have passed over in sccuri-
ty the point Of accident to tho other. The
rain from Macon was due at Columbus at
5.35 A. NJ. The train from Columbus to
Macon, started at Il. Ne The two trains
passed eaah other at the regular place of
meeting, station No: i, fourteen miles
from Columbus, at 5.50. "A. NJ, aud after
they had passed, both trains were thrown
of-the up or Columbus train, two miles
from Columbus, aud the down, or Macon
train. fifteen miles from Columbus.
COLUMBUS, Ga, Jan; 2-The following
is list of the persons killed by the late &C
cident in which railroad train ran into a
washed csllyert at Adams Mill. Mrs. Lev
erett and children, Of Rapides parish La. ;,
Mrs Smith of Texas; two sisters named
Guy. Of SelBsa, Ala.;J FL Miller, the en-
gineer; Burke a fireman. and W. II. Shell,

Falling Fits. These Pills possess a specific action
on the nervous system and although prepared es-
pecally for the purpose Of curing Fits, they will
be found ofespecial benefit to all persons afflicted
with weak nerves, or whose nervous system has
been Frustrated or shattered from any cause what
ever. The dysreptic patient whose stomach has
lost the power Of duly converting food into life
sustaining element, is relieved BY a single course

MONTERREY, Dec, q. 1858.
MEssRs. ED1roRs Our attention has
been called to the subject Of Succession IN
Congress to the Hon. John Letcher, the
present able and efficient representative OF
the Tenth Legion District, by commnui-
cation in your last issue from "Many Long
Meadow Voters" and we desire to say that
the suggestion therein contained, as to the
man who should swear Mr. Letcher's slip
pers,'' meets with hearty response from
US.
Not only is James Il. Skinner. Esq, our
first choice for that Office, but we believe
that large majority Of the democracy Of
the County of Highland, prefer him to any
other man in the district We know Mr..
Skinner we'll, and his undoubted ability and
character as high-toned gentleman and
answering democrat, have commended him
to us as the man for Mr. Letcher successor.
We think also that his services to the party,
for several years past entities him to some
reward, nor do we think the reward propos-
ed too great for his merits. We do not intend
to disparagc the claims and qualifications OF
other gentleman, but we must be permitted
to say, that the stainless mantle of Nc
Dowell and Letcher could not fall on wor-
thier shoulders.
AS to the propriety or improperly Of
holding Convention to nominate candid
ate, we have nothing to say. Should aeon
! yention be held we wish to bring the claims
of Mr.. Skinner to the. consideration of that
Convention, but should the democracy of the
district determine upon "a free fight then
we desire Mr.. Skinner to take chance IN
the game, with the assurance Of strong back
ing from Highland.

PROSPECTUS OF THE INDEX, TO BE
i PUBLISHED IN THE CITY OF RICHMOND,
WEEKLY AND ShA1I--"' EEkLYv--I will issue
on the Sd of January, 1859, in the city Of Rich
mond, Va, Weekly and Semi-W eekly Paper with
the above title. devoted to Politics, Literature,
Commercial Matters, an9 the General News Of the
day.
AS to the political complexion Of the paper.
need not say more than that it will be true to the
old Democratic principles Of Virginia deem it
scarcely necessary to make even this announce
ment here, in my native State after eighteen years
connection with its Democratic press. Respecting
the men Of the party, and ell sparti ea--those who
aspire to offices, State and Nationa-I deem it not
inappropriate to- say that The INDEX will be just to
all, but the partizan of none and without implicit
confidence in any. Particular attention will be
pad to the Commercial Department of FHE INDEX.
Its Literary Department will be entrusted to COM
petent hands. In every department it will have
the aid Of the ablest pens in tie South. 1t Is my
determination, in a word, to establish THE INDEX
as a readable family journal at the metropolis of
Virginia.
