n. c. ABERNATHY. Sec'v.

A writer in Georgia paper says he has got
along much more comfortably since he ceased to
feel it his duty to plan campaigns for all our
generals and rebukc them for their blunders.
He thinks, also that the country has not suffered
by his silence and that many other citizens might
safely follow his example.
The above is respectfully commended to the
consideration of people and newspapers who are
always growing and finding fault.
Be- The Hon. Vim. NJ. Gwynn, of California,

mechanics in the workshops of the North has been
doubled and they are now working day and nj ght-
turning out iron for gunboats, the North believes
them to be their only alyation.-Richmond En-

4 QUEER SToRY.-The Washington National
Republican of March 18th gives an account OF the
Confederate batteries as found at Manassas, when
that place was evacuated few weeks ago by Gen
Johnston. 1t says that out Of 81 embrasures for
guns there were found 81 wnofien guns mounted.
that ''no real guns had been mounted, but
ly pine logs, charred black, with muzzles delineat.
, ed with chalk" 1t says they were put there &c
scare the Federal forces aud that they did scare
them. That ian army nearly double that with
which Louis Napoleon fought the battle Of Sol
ferino, held at bay for nobody can reeollect how
many weeks by thirty-one wooden guns, is some
thing which mankind never before and may
never sec again. Let US OF the contemporary
generation rejoice that it has been our pre-eminen'
fortune to witness it."

The FonErcs NEws.-The English papers are some
thing like the papers in yankee-land they change
their tone often that it is hard form idea
to what the English people Government intends TO

belief that everybody is for us over there, while the

Another Plot of viliafny-Threc Men
Killed.

Another case, showing the urgent necessity
of strict vigilance and prompt measures being
taken for the dctcctior of spies and suspicious
persons, particularly on our lines of railroad,
occurred Sunday morning on the South Caro-
lima Railroad, and, we regret to state, was at
tended with the loss of life
The down night train, which left Columbia
Saturday evening, ran off the track at lnabai-
net Station, thirty three miles from this city,
about o'clock Sunday morning. Some fiend,
who had no doubt planned it beforehand,
forced the lever of the switch, thereby throw
ing from the track tender, car containing
cattle, box Car and two passenger cars.
MIR. Mat Shay, of this city, and Mr.. j Ath-
rens, brother Of Mr.. G. D. Athrens, also of
this city, were instantly killed. Mr.. John
Spain, a farmer, who lives a short distance
from the forks of the King Street Road, was
mortally injured, both of his legs being man
gled, besides sustaining other Injuries. He
died before the train reached the CITY, at TO-.
cop IN.
These three passengers had got on board
the train at Ross Station. Desiring not to dis
turb those who were sleeping in the cars, they
took a seat outside on the platform.
All the ether passengers miraculousIy cs-
capped without injury. The cars were crowded
The car containing the horses and other. cat
tie was turned over, and singular enough, with
out injury to any of the cattle.
We hope the william who committed the
decd will he speedily caught Charleston
