RUMoRED ACCIDENT on THE JACKSON RAILROAD
Last night we heard rumors of storm and food on
| the Jackson Road, above Manchac, and loss of
life, etc.; but we were unable to find any one to
give us particulars, or even to state whether or
not these rumors were based upon fact
| A Coon YEARs WoRK.-The annual report of
the Coroner, now being compiled by Deputy Ccro-
ner Soraparu, shows that from Nov. 26, 1853, to
Nov 26, 1860, there were less than 7s9 inquests
| held. Of these, about so were cases of homicide

about this and that man being Black Republican.
because we discover the existence Of a spirit
throughout the community to act hastily and Sc
verely with suspected parties, and have no wish by
any publication Of ours to give color Of truth to the
uncertain rumors that we hear on the street, and
thereby foment excitement. In all hasty proceed
ings of the populace, there is danger of overriding
the thing and perhaps furnishing innocent parties.
We may mention, however, few cases, which
have taken shape and form enough to create some
excitement, though hardly enough to justify it.
Two days ago, Recorder Emerson sent to prison
a man who had been taken up drunk and was
unable to pay his fine. He refused to tell his
name it could not be got from him under any cir
cumstances. In the prison he not only refused to
give his name, but proclaimed boastingly that he
was an Abotonist in the fullest sense Of the word
!, refused to obey the prison rules; said he would
stay in prison for years sooner than give his name,
or any other information than that he was Abo-
/. litionist and would die one. For his pertinacious
refusal to obey prison rules and to tell his name he
was put in irons and is in irons yet and is yet as
obstinate as ever. He is man of intelligent look
and speech and shows no sign Of insanity, though
his behavior in respects is decidedly insane
His term will be out in few days and from what
we have heard, it will fare badly with him when
he leaves prison. unless the authorities shall sec
proper to protect him.
free negro man named Jennings, dealer il
gold foil artificial teeth, and other things pertain

. street. is in the hands of the authorities, on the
charge of having for some time past engaged il
the work of propagating abolition sentmen
among the other free negroes and the slaves of th
city. Another free negro and slave, arrested
!. with him, were dismissed upon preliminary ex
animation before Mayor Monroe. Under proyis
ion of the black code, Jennings is committed for
full examination before Recorder Emerson. Jer
nings has lived here long, and his rectitude in pol
tics is vouehed for by some people; but as he ha
Il acted rascaly in financial dealings with whit

~ There is and has been for some time much tai
and excitement among our German population, r
garding some of their countrymen whose antec,
dents are not calculated to benefit them in so war;
latitude as this. We have already mentioned til
n disappearance of one Fuerster, attache of one
n the German papers, in consequence of notification
he had received, touching his abolition sentiments
We may here add in justice to the paper wit
RS which he was connected, that he was discharge
he from that paper before he left the city. As we
not speak or understand the German language "
have small opportunity of posting ourselves
TX well as we would like to, concerning the excit
i'll ment which has been rife among our German fe
low-ctiZens.
