hundred of the rebel prisoners confined at

did not come from any particular State,
but appear TO belong all over the South.
Those who have returned to their allie
riance are now encamped in tents upon
The island outside of the prison barracks,
the rest have gone South
DISTURBANCE is stated that consi-
derable excitement was created in Drum
mondtown, Va, last Tuesday, by persons
who were attending the Sessions Of the
h Court, calling the volunteers, who were
$ from Maryland, aboitionists, &c. Most
c serious consequences were threatened for
n time, but reinforcement of the militia
: ~ coming up checked the quarrel, and
: the Provost Guard gave the country peo-
> ple orders to return to their homes, which
& they did.
SERIOUS RAIL RoAD AccIDENT-The
Delaware County Republican, of Satur-
day says Ton Monday last, as Mrs Da-
o Wis, of Philadelphia, who was ON visit
n to her cousin, residing near this Borough,
l. Chester was coming into town to go to
the city by the morning boat, while cross
ing the railroad on the Darby and Phila-
delphia road, the cars came in contact
with the dearborn in which she was seat
ed, in company with her babe and t
young man, literally crushing the vehicle
10 pieces, killing the horse, and severely
n. if not fatally wounding Mrs. Davis. llel
injuries were principally about the face
and head. Strange to say, the youne
man and the babe, aged about tel
months, escaped unhurt.' No blame is
attached to the employees on the road
i Mrs Davis is still living, and hopes arr
entertained of her recovery.
