SERIOUS AccIDENT.-On Monday
night Mr.. Robert Pagan, late sheriff of
our district, met with a serious accident.
Being very warm he retired early to his
room, over Mr.. Williams drug store,
and having bathed himself, went to bed.
Sometime between the hours of II and
l o'clock, it is supposed, he got up in
his sleep and walked out on a shed roof
which came up to his window. He only
made few steps when he fell from the
shed, a distance of near 16 feet. His
groans attracted the attention of Mr..
Graham's negroes, who hastened to a.
rouse the family. He was then taken
into Mr.. Graham's house, where he now
lies in quite a critical condition. Mr..
Pagan was home on furlough, being a
member of the Calhoun Guards, and
had intended returning to camp on the
next morning.-Chester &andad, 4th

PRovIDENTIAL.-So many wonder
full escapes and presentations seem to be
vouchsafedto to ourpeoplc, that ito describe
them seems like romance. Can any
three cargoes be more acceptable just
now than coffee, ice and coal? As for
the latter, so much was it needed that
the Captain of the St. Nicholas was very
fearful of getting to the end of his run
for want oft, and already good deal
of wood work was torn away to keep
up the fires, when 10 a ship full Of coal
arrives in time of need. And can any
thing be more Providential than that

pahannock not trace of Yankee ships

B@ A destructive fire occurred in the Vir-
ginia Penitentiary at Richmond on Monday
last, destroying several large workshops,
and entailiug loss upon the State of SIS
900. The incendiary was supposed to be
one of the convicts This is serious loss
at this time, when it will be almost impos
sible to replace the machinery. The con-
victs were engaged in the manufacture of
goods for the use of the army at the time
of the fire, and it was doubtless in order to
stop this source of supply that one Of the
villains conceived the infamous plan of
burning the workshops.

AN ADMoNITIoN.-The recent drought
which pervaded large portion of the South
has been relieved in many localities by CO.
pious showers. Was it not intended as an
admonition against any, at least, misuse of
our incoming crops? The whole country
had just been blessed with plenteous crop
of wheat and oats In ordinary times such
a circumstance has generally been the sig
nal for profuse dealing in the articles har-
vested. As if to check the spirit at time
like this, the clouds were made to hold
back their influences and drought of con-
siderable severity came on. The certain
effect was, to cause every man to keep
up the rigid economy of the previous part
CT the year. However abundant the small
grain, it was no time to be slack in its use
when corn and cotton might be cut short.
The people were at once brought back to
their sense of thrift. And now, although
the rains have partially come, let us be as
careful as we are thankful. Corn is not
made yet. And if it were, the exigencies
of war are still before the country. Make
as much as we may and save it as best we
can, hard times are still ahead of u.s.
