Correspondence of The Cecil Wing.
NORTH EAST, Aug. Doth 1855,

DEAR NnrG:-I hasten to give you as
brief an account ofan accident. which occurred
near here, as the circumstances will admit of
Mr.. edward Jack son, when crossing the
Railroad at or near the Brick Yard, yesterday
morning, found an oilcloth bag or Satchcl,
which had been dragged for some distance on
the track of the Road and b. oxen open thereby
pulling out some of the contents, which were
good clothing. Upon following the road
short distance back, he found young man
lying in the ditch long the side Of the road
in scnscless condition: not being able or
willing to speak, he Immediately procured
help ard kindly took charge Of the person,
and by the assistance of Mr.. Caleb Vcasy
the Supervisor of the road, with his Car,
removed him to North East Depot where,
with the assistance Of Mr. Roberts, the Agent
here, he was provided with everything ntccs-
Sary to his comfort. Drs. Shippers anG
Buckley were called in and rendered medical
aid, and found that no bones were broken,
but the patient in very stupid condition.
They were unable to ascertain to a certainty
whether he was mute or not, such was his
stnpor or rather obstinacy. 1t was thought
better in the afternoon TO remove him to the
Aims House, at Cherry Hill. as nothing could
be elected as to his name or whereabouts. -
lie had a Bible and an arithmetic; the name
in the bible was so scratched and Gcfaccd as
to render it ilcsble, there was a SUIT Of
clothes in the bag, apparently new: bat rot
u scrap of paper or anything to show where
he was from.
On Saturday night as the through freight
train came along, near Bacon Hill, a man
was discovered on the track, walking head
of the engine and persisted in doing so for
some time, notw outstanding the usual warning
was given. The engineer thought him deaf
and ran very slow. having heavy train:
but as soon as he assembled the grade he urged
him off and passed hin. This was about 9!
o'clock !; he was coming from towards Elkton.
This no doubt the same person, ovcrtaken by
the night passenger tram fiom Philadelphia.
and Knocked off by the cowcatchcr, as this
train runs much faster, he was not seen by
the engineer, as it was quite cloudy and dark.
lie was kindly treated and good conveyance
provided by Mr.. Longstroth and Mr.. j. w.
Shippers, and taken to the Aims lleuse,
where bis friends will find him if living.

0RlGlH or TIE TERM "OLD DOMINION -
Few things are 50 well calculated to awaken
in the mind Of the proud Nirginian. when
wandering in foreign lands, teaching rcmin-
i>ctnccS of home and kindred, AS the simple
mention Of the odd Dominion.' And vet
there are comparatively f,w who are aware
of the origin Of tie tenn which has - long
and so generally been applied to Virginia. -
1t originated thus: During the pru,cctoraIc
Of Cromwell, the colony of Virginia refused
TO acknowledge his authority, and declared
itself independent. Shortly after. when
Cromwell threatened To send nlc aud army
to reduce Virginia to suhjcction the alarmed
\IrglnanS sent Il mt S>cugcr to Charles H.
who was then exile in Flanders. inviting Inn.
to return in the ship with the messenger, and
be king If Virginia. Charles accepted the
invitation, and was on the eve Standardization,
when h" was called to the throne Of England
AS soon MS he was fairly seated on the throne
in gratitude for the loyalty of Virginia. he
caused Ter coat OF arms to he qumtrrrl with
those of England Ireland ant. Scotland, a : All
independent uicmbtr Of the empire. distinct
portion Of the "old dominion" Hence arose
the origin of the term. Copper coins OF Viz

George III, which bore ON one side the coats
of arms Of England, Ireland, Scotland and
Virginia. -Noics aad QneI7cS.
