DEPLoR ABLE RAILROAD A5cIDeNr-We repret
to learn, says the Augusta Coastutiona'ist of YES
terday, that Gen. Robert Taylor, an aged and we'll
known citizen of Athens was seriously, and perhans
fatally, injured by fall from a train on the Ge6r
gia railroad at Madison, on Friday evening. The
tram reached the Madison depot at eight o'clock,
and Gen. Taylor, who was an intirm man and aalirt
ed with paralysis, in attempting to leave it, fell be-
tween the cars with his feet resting upon the track
The train was moving off slowly from the depot at
the time and the trucks of the last car passed over
ooth OF his feet, cutting one of them and crushing
the other. Gen. Taylor is an intelligent and estma-
Die gentleman, and the announcement of his death.
which will probably be made by the next arrival
from Madison, will be received with sincere regret
by his large circle of friends and acnnaintances.

The peace does not grow in public favor. The

ment and discomfort Their hopes as the war went
on rose higher and higher. The brilliant victo.

army reused the sentiment of military glory al
ways strong in a Frenchman's brea,t-to the high
est point of enthusiasm. The great mass of the
people resolute and Jealous always in their love
OF reedom-exulted to see France again leading
the van OF Liberalism in Europe, and looked for
nothing less than the utter abasem-nt of Austria
and the supremacy of substantial democracy in
the Italian States. Louis Napoleon, for the first
time, began to be positively and thoroughly pnpu-
lar at homeland this popularity increased Just in
proportion to the degree in viii he was distrust-
ed and feared abroad The French people were
prepared to see this carried on to the "bitter
end" They were ready for all the chances and
all the sacrifices which it might involve. They
did not, as general thing, credit the danger of its
extension to the rest Of Europe: but even if that
had been certain, 1 think they would not have
shrank from it, but would have preferred such a
result to the peace that has been concluded Their
hopes have been blasted; their faith in the En-
perors cold, resoute determination to accomplish
whatever he undertakes, has been shaken; their
hatred of Austria, and their thirst for its disgrace,
have net been gratihed, and they feel that their
sentiments and wishes, which seemed to weigh so
much at the outset, have been in the final adjust

AN ANECDoTE OF Mr.. CHoArE-Two or three
years ago, during a season of illness, Mr. Choate
was visited by one of his friends, who urged upon
health. ''Sir." said the visitor, "you must 90

thus, you will certainly undermine your constitu-

irony and peculiar twinkle of the eye, which were
marked and indescribable when he tested, said

A SHARK KILLED IN AQUA CREEK.-A corregnop
dent WI ties us from Stafford county, Va, that a
shark was killed in Aqua Creek, in Stafford coun-
ty, on the 18th of July, by Mr. Thomas n. Tow
son, OF that county. Mr.. Towson had been to the
steamboat-landing at the mouth of the Creek to
deliver vessel load of timber; and on his return
up the Creek, and when about five miles from its
mouth he discovered the shark, about three hun
dred yards distant, lashing about the waters He
had no one with him but his servant man Moses and
no weapon of assault but axe But they made the
attack, and after considerable struggle succeeded
IN killing the monster. They had him at a disadvan-
tage IN the shallow waters of the Creek, into which
his sharkship had rashy ventured, or he would not
have thus been brought to the axe, and numbered
among the 'unreturnable brave" He measured
ten feet in length, four feet the breast ns
and eighteen inches across the head. The carcass
has attracted many curious visitorS.-Alerdndrja

EMERSON ON EYES AND NosEs.-What it that
most legibly labels man, was the point discussed
lately In lecture by the great moral achy of
Boston. He allowed that some men show what
they are by their gait in walking. Others are east
ly understood by the form carriage of other
parts of the person. ''But The eye, as the window
OF the SOUL is the best index of the prevailing emo
tion. 1t speaks Of sickness health sorrow or iov
purity or guilt. There eyes all innocence, as
well as organs out of which restless gnomes
and demons peer. 'Some eyes threaten like a
loaded and eveed pistol, and others are as insult
u
preston than blueberries, while others are as deep
as well which you can fall into" Then there are
noses Of mark. The nasal organs of julius Caesar
and William Pitt were sure indices of their strong
will and resistless sway among men,

The DeJats publishes the following article:
"Because at times political alliances become over
clouded, we do not, therefore, think them necessa-
rily compromised. In the best regulated household
there may be moments of quarrel or GOODNESS with
out a divorce becoming necessary. Frankness,
moderation, patience, and especially courtesy sue
ceed in appeasing those vexatious irritations, and
we then regret having given way too slight
a ground to the passion of the moment, for which
on the morrow there is no cause.
"Peace, with its consequences already known,
allows us once more to take a dspassionate view of
what has taken place during the last three months
in Germany, as we'll as in Angland, as regards the
Italian question and the policy of France.
Germany will excuse us if we speak of England
first; we need not give reasons for doing so.
We are not suspected of not liking peace, we have
even been reproached with liking it too much We
never looked upon that reproach as an insult, be-
cause we always were and still are ready to repeat
that we love peace, provided France does not sue,
thererom either in her honor, or in her lust share
of influence, or in her legitimate interests On thes,
conditions, yes, we like peace.
'Nor can we be suspected of not being partisan

Teproached tor being too much so? If we did no
feel offended, it is because we always declared why
now, and on what conditions we wished for and dc
wish for the English alliance. 1t can only be or

ment well suited to remind our neighbos of.

FRANCE.

The M0niteur of the 18th has an official article on
the situation. 1t explains the basis agreed upOn for
Che proposed Congress- and the present position of the
negotiations, and says that France. willing TO prove
her concliatory disposition, promised to request Pied
mont to disarm on the condition that Piedmont and the
other Italian States be invited to take part in the Con-
yress. 1t hopes this proposal will meet with the
unanimous consent Of the Powers France has even
added that she is disposed to assent to disarmament,
professionally to the Congress. Everything, therefore,
juifes the belief that If all the difficulties not yet
removed, definite understanding will ere long be es-
tabished and that further obstacle will oppose the
assembling of the Congress.
The Paris Bourse on the 18th was buoyant, and an
advance Of 4 took place; on the 10Th the Threcs
opened at further advance of nearly !, but receded,

during the present week, the first leave Of absence
which have had from the Office since the commence

YOU saw for "quet enjoyment to participate in the
celebration of the order of Odd Fellows the 26th

duty TO inuish copies Of the laws" There always
have been clerks enough for the discharge of that duty

gross injustice. | am quite certain that an absence
