TIE PRoposED Fusion IN VIRGINIA j
FAILuRE--The Douglas Men Send Mes
scngor to Breckinridge Tho kichmond
(VD Wing of yesterday says:
The Breckenridge and Douglas Commit.
tees were in session in this city on Fri.
day and Saturday, and, after conquetting
with each other for two whole days, came
to the conclusion that fusion between
the two wings was utterly impracticable.
The proposed fusion scheme, therefore,
has proved to be terrible failure.
From what we hear, the Douglas men
obtained a decided advantage over the
breckenridge men, throwing all the onus
of DISCRIMINATION and Righteousness on
the latter Proposition after proposition
for reconciliation between the two wings
was made by the Douglas men, aud de-
clined by the Breckenridge men.
We understand, also. that the Douglas
Committee have dispatched messenger
to Kentucky, who carries with him 70"
quest to Mr.. Breckenridge to answer the
Norfolk questions. This is splendid
diplunatic movement on the part OF the
Douglas men, aud will result, in any
event. in adding thousands of votes to
the Douglas party.
We hear, also that the Committee val
ted on Governor Letcher in body and
that the Governor addressed them in a
vigorous and earnest speech. Declaring
that his sympathes were entirely with
them, and that he felt the deepest posi-
bic interest in the success of Dougla.

WM.P. Smith, ESQ This gentleman.
the very efficient and highly esteemed
master of transportation on the Baltimore
aud Ohio Rail Road met, with very Sc
rious accident at Harpers Ferry, last
week, Mr. Smith was accompanying the
excursion train in which were the Gov.
enors of Virginia and Maryland and Mr.
Garrett President of the Road, At the
time the affair transpired he was in the
act of Jumping off the train whilst
it was passing over the trestle work and
making n misstep, was thrown near the
track He supposed there was an addi-
tional step to the car, which was the cause
of his fall The wheels passed ever his
LEFT foot, cutting off two toes. and it is
surprising that he escaped with such an
injury. Upon rising Mr.. Smith sup
posed his injuries were of a serious charac-
ter but after moving his legs about found
he ad the use of them. The guests of
the road with whom he was travelling
were much alarmed on his account, and
to abandon the excursion; but
Mr., S would not listen to such a pro-
position, consequently they proceeded on
the trip the day following and he reach
ed home after receiving the attention of
the physician at Harpers Ferry.
