RAN AwAY.-When the news reached
Richmond that the rebels had been beaten
at Yorktown, there was wonderful excite
mcnt Even the rebel Congress passed
resolution to adjourn to Danville, On
this the Richmond Wing says sarcasti.
cally:
For fear Of accidents on the railroad the
stampeded Congress left yesterday IN
number Of the strongest and newest canal
boats. These boats are drawn by mules of
approved sweetness of temper. To protect
the siampeders from the snakes and bull
frogs that abound along the line of the ca
nal, General Winder has detailed a regi-
ment Of ladies to march in advance of the
mules and clear the towpath of pirates.
The regiment is armed with pepguns ofthe
longest range. The ladies will accompany
The stampeders TO secluded cave in the
mountains Of Hepsdam and leave them
there in charge Of the children Of the vicin-
age, until Mcclellan thinks proper to let
them come forth. The ladies return TO the
defense Of their country.

IHE MosT DEPLoRABLE TALE EVER HEARD
IN ANERCA.-The Norfolk Day Book got
off the following lamentation over the cap-
ture of New Orleans:
The telegraph tells, this morning. the
most dchlOrable tale ever heard in Ameri-
ca, or, we believe in the whole world. Two
contemplate little steamers have came mn
10 the great city of New Orleans-inhabit-
ed by population of 200, 600 sonls. lefen-
ded by miles upon miles of columbiads aud
riied cannon, possessing six floating bate
ries OF immense power, and containing
within her bosom not less than 10000 dis
ciplined troOps-and have commanded the
authorities to haul down the Confederate
flag. As we write there had been no intel
ligence of lbs being hauled down, but we
are prepared TO expect The worst Sailing
through miles OF the heaviest artillery, il
does not appear that so much as q single
shot was fired ut these two little steamers.
On the contrary, everything seems to have
been prepared beforehand for their quiet
reception. The troops were immediptely
Withdrawn lest they hight feel disposed TO
demur. all the defenses on the lake were
dlsmantled, The guns were thrown down
without being injured. the steamboats, that
could have gotten up steam in an hour and
been of, were burned; aud the defenders
were drawn off TO distaut point. Never
since the world began was there such
transnc ion-so dark, so mysterious, so al
together nnaccountable.

SAD ACcDENT.-The Sierra Democrat of
May 3lst says:
An accident attended by remarkable cir
cumstances. occurred at Pr Cap, north of
Monte Crisio, on the 22d iust. Patrick
Hawke aud John Williams were blasting In
a tunnel. and charge went of premature
ly-the old story Of mining accidents. The
powder and fragments Of rock flew thick.
and their faces were burned TO crisp. Both
deprived Of sight. They had TO crawl 400
feet TO gain the mouth of the tunnel. Out
of that they found their way TO tbeireabin;
but no person was living within two miles
Of them, and they finally started, blind and
starving. at one O'clock on Saturday MORN
ing. to lind their way TO Excelsior. There,
S. w. Langton had a mule which he gave
np and another mule was procured, and
LapgtoH ploted the blind men down 10
DownieVille, where they have since been
under treatment of DIR. Akin. They are
recovering the use Of their eyes, and will be
sound again, barring some Disagreement of
their fronts.

ATTEMPT AT SUIoIDE.-A Missourian nam
ed Gilmer, who has until recently been at
work over on the other side of the bay,
drank very freely on election night because the
Citizens ticket was so badly beaten, and has
heen on the spree ever since. Yesterday morn
ing, about o'clock, he went down to the end
Of one Of the wharves, to drown himself, but
not liking to take ccld bath so early, he
took out his pocket knife, opened one blade,
and holding il in his right hand, jabbed it seve-
raj times in his left arm. Before his left arm had
lost its strength, he abbed the blade several times
in his right, and then stuck it Through his wind
pipe, and wriggled the blade about. Thinking
that insufficient to kill him, he thought to COM
plete the business by plunging the blade three
or four times into his left breast, but it wasn't
quite long enough TO reach his heart. Officer
Park found him on the dock, and together
with officer Conway took him to the hospital
the blood bubbling out Of his throat wound ev-
cry word he spoke. Strange to say, the man
was about town this morning, nearly as wcllas
ever, and got so cents OF Officer Conway to get
breakfast with Bulletin, June 3d.
