ACCIDENTS.

SHOT HIMsELF.-A sad accident, resulting from
the careless use of a gun, occurred back of Gretna
on Saturday. Mr.. James Mooney very estimable
young man, who has been working for some time
past as carpenter on Millaudon's plantation, was
out hunting with friend, and being tired, suddenly
placed the stock of his gun on the ground and
leant on the muzzle, when by some means or an
other it was discharged and the whole load lodged
in his left breast killing him almost Instantly. The
deceased, we understand, leaves Il young wife and
two children to mourn his untimey fate.
RAILROAD ACCIDENT A RoOd-sawyer, named
Lyons had his leg badly fractured last evening by
the freight train of the Jackson Railroad as it was
backing into the depot. The sufferer was removed
to the Charity Hospital |~y n..0
Dry Dock ACCIDENTS. John Lloyd, a carpenter,
working on the ship Independence, in Hyde &
Mackey's dry dock, Algiers, was seriously injured
yesterday by falling into the dock from stage on
which he was working. His thigh bone WAS frac.
tured and he is otherwise seriously injured.
The Algerine Newshoy informs us that the Cres-
cent Dry Dock broke loose just after it had taken
in the ship Wakefield, and floated ont into mid river
and down to the coal yards, a mile below. The
ship was soon brought back, but the dock gave
little more trouble: however, were glad to learn
that yesterday, at . O'Clock P. NJ, it was back at
its moorings.

The Algerine Newsboy of Saturday relates that
Mr.. c. U. Lewis, returning to his home below
Tunisburg, two miles from here on Monday night,
about midnight, noticed the gate Of his neighbor,
Mr. 7. Camus, to be saspiciousy open. Going in,
he found white man and negro busily engaged
beheading cabbages. They had slaughtered over
an hundred. He called onthem to surrender, which
the white man did. The negro fed. The white
man proved to be one Louis Latour, and is now in
jail waiting the recovery of Judge Fortier.

and insisted upon forty cents change they refused
to do this; a quarrel followed; Murphy drew o
revolver; they then pitched into hira, and one OF
them, seizing knife which is used in cutting meat
at the stall, gave him two bloody gashes in the
face, one over and one under the left eye. Mnr-
phys wounds not being dangerous, the accused
were released on bail. We learn that they intend
to have Murphy up. The affair created a great
excitement in the market, which was crowded at
the time.

Yesterday was fckie enough as to sunshine, but
constant as to rain. The day was remarkable. As
nearly as we can remember, there was shower
or sprinkle of rain every fifteen minutes, from
seven in the morning to twelve last night: an
average Of sxty-four sprinkles and showers. The
sun winked several times at US through the Clouds

COROhER'S iNQUeSTs.

SUICIDE.-The Coroner on Saturday held an in
quest on the body of an old German wood-sawyer
name unknown, found dead at Charity Hospital.
He was burnt out at the Rampant street fire. about
a month ago; since that time he had lived on
charity in backyard room on the premises of
Mrs. Burns, on Rampant street near Lafayette. On
Wednesday last he attempted to cut his throat,
alleging want of food as the cause On Friday
| night he made another attempt, and succeeded
He fastened piece Of clothes line to nail over
the mantel piece of his ROOM then locked the door
and fastened the window. He made moose near
the na placed his head and neck in it, stepped off
a chair that was near by on the floor, and became
partly strangled. His groans attracted the atten-
| ton of woman in the yard and she Immediately
notified man living in the house. The door of
the room was tried but could not be opened, so
entrance was effected through window, when The
poor German was cut down in the agones of DEATH
He was taken to the Charity Hospital, where he
died at an early hour in the morning.
The RAILROAD AcoIDENr-The boy Charles
West, who was run over by the Carrollton cars on
Friday evening, died the same night. The investi-
CATION by the Coroner, on Saturday resulted in the
| complete exoneration of tho railroad officers. The
boy had got on the steps of the last car but one,
and was holding on to the railing; some of his
| little comrades in the street were peting him
with mud to make him get down, and he was con.
| tinually lodging to avoid the missiles. While sc
engaged, his foot slipped, and he fell under the
wheels. The fatal accident was therefore due tc
his own imprudence. .m G

THE FOURTH OF MARCH,

To-day will be eve0tful, as usual, in New Orleans,
as the anniversary of the Fire Department. Fire
men deal in water and are not afraid of water !;
therefore it will have to rain not only plenty of
water, but " cats and dogs" and maybe pitchforks
and birthstone, to prevent the annual turnout Of
that brave and gallant portion of citizens who
defy both fire and water, and even death, in their
humane and heroic endeavors to stay the ravages
of the Fire God when he descends.
But the Fourth of March, this time, has far
more important character than that Of the cele-
braton of the New Orleans fremen. By looking
at the map, we see that New Orleans is designated
by spot no bigger than pin-head might be upon
bed.sheet. On account of the firemen, the
Crescent City will to-day revove on little indie
pendent pinhook of its own; and may the weather
be fair, and may the firemen have what they have
prepared for, the grandest anniversary they ever
YET had in the gay metropolis Of the Sunny South.
As we have intmated, one small dot on tie map
will enconpass all that is to be seen and done in
New Orleans too day.
The whole map, however, from Maine to Texas,
and from Virginia to Oregon, represents popua-
ton Of over thirty millions, whose anxious
thoughts to-day will center at the once glorious, but
now debased, city of Washington. Northern fanat
csm will rear its snaky crest, and will expect, by
Lincoln's Inauguration, to besaver the fat South
for its final and triumphant gulp. Southern patri
otisn will turn its back and its defiant spurs upor
the horrible deflement of the chair which WASH
IHGToN once consecretaed.
In the North, this day, Abolitionism will be ram
pant for after thirty years of pious vlany, an(
after having raised a new generation to beliey,
that nigger is as good if not little better thai
a white man, they will this day see the covete'
revolution, so long labored for. They will for tn
first time see their own candidate, the final cham
pion of their thirty years. fanatica labor, instale
in that chair, which lately the whole nation re
vered. .
True lovers of their country, conservativ
national men, in the North, will perhaps weep an
regret that they did not die when Clay and Webste
| did. Men of the same class in the South will pc
| haps have the same feeling; but the whole feeln
of the South, mingled as it may be with sorrow
and regrets, will this day assume the sharp edge
it's defiance, and its lasting reprobation and denul
citation Of til? greatest sacrilege that pei
potrated upon free people.
To-day, the South will look to Washington out
curiosity; the true and actual feelings and hope
of the South will center at Montgomery, Alabama
and st no other place.

NEWSPAPER AGEScY.--It appears to Us that If
there ever was time when it would be profitable
for our merchants to advertise generally through
out the interior of the country, it is the present.
New Orleans must, OF necessity, become the great
center of business OF the Southern ConfederGcy,
and the traders of the South who have hitherto
looked to New York for their supplies will come
here, depending upon the importers of this city to
furnish them. 1t would therefore be good policy
for New Orleans merchants to make known, by
means of the local papers in the country that they
are prepared for this trade. Messra. ]. Straw
bridge & Co., No. % Commercial place, are agents
for nearly all Southern papers, and are authorized
to contract for advertising at the lowest rates.
They have been engaged in this business for the
last five years. and during that time have earned
high character for integrity and fair dealing.

"H. 0. AZ will to-day, "proverbly," (as
Simon Snggs says) take his seat at Washington
The only thing that could possibly prevent the in
auguration would be a relapse into railroad
speeches, etc. If !" Honest Old Abe" should
make few more speeches. measure height with
few more tall laborers, accept another apple or
two, and be kissed by another infatuated female,
collapse would be inevitable, and fatal as the
Asatic cholera. His snuggle from Harrisburg to
Washington may have saved his life; If it did, it
has only enabled the American nation to offer to
itself and to an 0duiring world the most exalted
specimen of the tribe donkey ever heard Of; an
animal, before which LinnDas and Button, il alive,
would hang their heads in sorrow, as not having
existed up to the time Of their writings.
As for the personal deneanor and oratorical dis
plays Of the Illinois rasplitter, has not this great
land been enlightened? The South cannot be ac-
cused of railing uDjustly at this stupendous rail-
splitter; for is not the mouth of the North that
tells us how he travels, and how he talks?
Many of his own fanatical friends secretly
dsgusted with him, after having worked for him
heart and soul. On his way to Washington, what
was his company? Mohs made up, for the most
part, of rowdies, rougbs, pckpockets, and vagrant
boys, with ignorant, but honest and adorng for
eigners anything and everything but the true and
enlightened American population. What shall we
judge Of his march, when we find, in a Northern
paper, the following, narrated as authentic; hay
ing reference to the mob that greeted II. O. A.:
What a scnf1Ie there will be among them for
precedence. Thrice happy will they be when they
shall enjoy the proud privilege OF shaking that
hand which is roputed 10 excel in raiI-splttipg !!
Let not that tonchng scene be disturbed, ye anti
compromise policemen, by any such display as
that exhibited the other day, when an incorIuptible
patriot, who, while engaged in the solemn cere-
mony Of presenting t~o apples to Dir. Lincoln, was
electrified by the sudden exclamation of smart
but malicious boy " say, Mr.. Lincoln that man
wants to be postmaster "
Just 10 show how the great event of today is
looked upon in the North and in the South, we ap-
pend q couple of rbymngs, which we believe
truhfay express the feelings Of the great mass in
the two sections, now that it is too late to mend
