A report reached this city yesterday, by

We telegraphed to Montgomery last even

truth in the report, and were answered that
no such intelligence had been received there.
So, of course, it mere rumor started by
some scoundrel to excite the people.

The Melancholy Suicide of Mr..
w, II. HOPKINS.

The suicide of W. B. Hopkins, (recently
clerk in the Exchange and Ballard House,
at Richmond,) which occurred on Saturday,
the 18th instant, at the st. Charles Hotel,
New Orleans, has been announced. The N.
o. Courier furnishes the following particu-
lars:
The waiting maid had found the room
closed during the whole day, and when even
ing came she grew impatient, and knocked
at the door several times without receiving
any answer. She then got up on chair and
looked through the fanlight above the door.
She saw Hopkins lying motionless upon his
bed, dressed with the exception of his coat,
and cried out to him, but received no an
swer. She then gave the alarm, and after
fur Their examination the door was bursted
open. Hopkins laid on his back, his arms
stretched out wide; at his side was a revol-
yer, one barrel of which was discharged
His shirt was stained with blood and black
ened by the powder =; on the left side, near
the heart, small hole marked the passage
of the death dealing bullet. Death must
have happened many hours past, and instan-
taneously, for the body was stiff and cold,
and the now rigid features remained calm
and unaltered by any contraction of the mus
Giles. The pistol.case, opened and containing
ammunition, &C., was found on bureau near
the bed. The cause of this melancholy al
fair is not known, no letters having been
found in the room. The deceased, was we
believe Virginian, and aged about thirty
five years.
Intensely A6ectionate.-One of the recent
"parsone" advertisements In the New York
papers was as follows:
81 did not see you on parade yesterday
Suppose you have resigned from the Seven
ty-tive Regiment. What time next month
do you depart for New Orleans? Your Slip
pers are finished. Come up tonight and
tell your pet all about 1t. do so long to
see you, to lay my head upon your beating
heart and hear you say again: 81 love you
better than my soul my little angel, and |
trust in you more than in Heaven" That
girl and her lover are in dangerous cond-
ton, provided their danger has not already
past; and we would advise them, as prudent
people,t to keep away from each other as long
and as far as possible"

Railroad Accident.

4 horrible Railroad accident occurred
on the Michigan Southern Il. Il. near
milni 5ht on the 9th ult, at South
Becd. About $50 persons were on
board the train, some 50 Of whom are
reported missing, though the bodies Of
only 81 had been recovered at last ac-
counts. Fifty or sixty more are repor-
led wounded.
The engineer, fireman, cxprcssman
and baggage master are among the kill,
cd. The tender, baggage and express
car, two second class cars and two fist
class passenger cars, were stove to
atoms.
The accident occurred while running
on high embankmcnt beneath which
was a culvcrt spanning a small stream.
The cuycrt had become chokcd by
flood wood, which raised the water up
to the embankmcnt and injured the
railroad bed SO as to throw the cars
off.
Most Of the killed we're from Mich.
gan and Illinois.
