ACCIDENT AT ST.. ANrHoNY.-On Satur-
day, about P. NJ, Mr.. 8. w. Farnham, Of the
mill firm of Farnham s. Co., was standing on
the platform below the tail of his mill, at time
when sixteen-foot lumber was being sent out
from the mill, and for which he was far enough
away to be out of danger of being hit At q
moment when his attention was engaged in an
other direction four twenty-foot boards of Nor
way pine were sent over the tail, and the ends
struck Mr.. Farnham in the side with such
force as to knock him against heavy
cart near which he was standing and
to move the cart several feet. The boards came
down off the rollers distance Of ten or twelve
feet and must have fallen with great force. At
first Mr. Farnham did not think himself much
hurt, but in a few minutes, after walking
around little, he sat down and asked for q
drink of water. When the water was brought
to him, he had tainted. The boards hit him
between the hip and ribs, and probably Sc
riousIy injured him internally. Sunday he
was unable to move in bed, but yesterday he
was getting better, though very sore.

ACCIDENT AT MINNEAPoLIs. Satur-
day morning three stone masons who were at
work on the depot buildings at Minneapolis of
the Minnesota Central road were precipitated
distance of sixteen feet, to the ground, by the
breaking of the staging upon which they were
standing. They had upon the staging at the
time quantity of stone and there were several
pieces on the ground where they fell Two of
them were seriously iDjured-the other only
slightly. The one most hurt was severely cut
up by the falling stones and boards. His eyes
and face were cut, one of his fore arms was
broken, and falling stone cut the flesh on the
calf of his leg to the bone. for six inches II

THE MINNESOTA CENTRAL grading
upon this road within this city is nearly COM
pleted. The bridge across the Minnesota is be-
ing built as fast as possible. Seven miles of
track have been laid from Mendoza, and, on
the completion of the bridgeand small part of
the grading yet to be done, the road will be OPP
cned from Minneapolis to some station in Da-
kota county. The prospect of the road for an
early opening and completion in briet term

LOCAL AFFAIRS.
PAYoF A VOLUNTEER .

The volunteer under the present call, If he
enlists for one year, receives from Government
bounty of $1O0, and from the city bounty
of $3.50, in addition to his regular pay of $16.5O
month, clothing allowance Of 4s q month,
and rations. This is better pay than laboring
men can hope to earn at home. The laboring
man receives $1.50 day, amounting in year
to $468. if he have steady work, out of which
sum he must provide his board, which the gov
eminent gives to its soldiers. in addition to the
following pay and bounties. .......

Paid to the volunteer soldier under the pres
ent call, in addition to his rations, or at the
rate of $1.55 day, and board. In addition to
which his uniform clothes are furnished to the
soldier by government at about one-half the
cost at which the same quality of clothes could
be purchased by citizens.
A young man could easily save from his pay
and bounties $40O in one year. At the end of
his years service, with that $40O he could
stock and put under improvement farm
which, under the homestead law, he can get
for nothing. Can any laboring men at home
hope to save up SO large q sum as $4OO in one
year from the proceeds of his labor? Is there
any reason why the soldier should not save
that sum?
Amarried man. by entering the service for
one year can leave with his family the $3.50
paid him for bounty by the city, and can allot
to them as much Is $14 month, or $168 for the
year and his first two payments on the Gov
ernment bounty, $3333 the first pay day and
$ss.33 at the end of six months, making $6S.66
i'm all, for the year, 3S466-and, on his dis
charge from service at the end of the year have
$s33s in his pocket, besides such amount as
he may save from the $3.50 month, balance
of his pay and clothing allowance. Can any
laboring man in st. Paul hope to do as well
for his family the coming year by remaining at
home? There is no reason why he cannot do
that much for them by enlisting now into the
army, and taking his choice of regiments and
service, instead of waiting the risk Of draft
which may take him, without any bounties, to
be put into such branch of the service as may
be selected for him, and leave his family al
most unprovided for.
It is worth while also to suggest to persons
thinking of volunteering that now is the time
to get the highest bounties. Last year so soon
as St. Paul had filed its quota by the payment
of S1OO bounty-up to which time county
towns were unsuceessfully offering a higher
bounty for fear that st. Paul would get all the
men-$5O bounty could not be had and men
were actually offering to enlist for $25 bounty.
The city is now rapidly filling its quota, and as
soon as tits is done we shall see the same de-
cline in b0unties as last year.

NAsHYttLH, Dec. so Major Gen. Stone.
man, who arrived in the city last night
from his great raid ID East Tennessee and
Western Virginia, furnishes the following
account of his expeditions
His force consisted of BuTbrfdge's troops
and Gillenis East Tennessee troops, all
under command Of Major Gen. StonemAn,
left Knoxville ON the 18th instant. The
movement was unknown TO the rebels and
was not discovered until after three days.
At Kingsport Jones command were at
tackled, consisting of about 300 Of Morgan's
old crowd. The force were killed, scat.
tered and captured.
The rebel forces of Vaughn was discov.
cred at Papers Town near Bristol, trying
to effect junction With Breckenridge At
Saltyille. Our forces pursued him to Ma
rlon, where an engagement oecurredi re-
sulting in loss to the rebels of all their
force and artillery, except about 200, who
retreated towards Lynchburg, Va.
Breckinridge's. command had followed
Gen. stoneman, with 10 forces of Giltner,
Crosby, Withers and holland of Dukes
command, who had been on the frontier of
Kentucky.
Gen. Stoneman attacked the forceat Ma
rion and drove them over the mountains
into North Carolina. His force then at
tackled the salt works, which were defend
ed by about 700 men, who were either cap
tured or dispersed.
The loss by this raid to the rebels is
immense. All the railroad bridges from
New River, Va, to the Tennessee line, are
destroyed. Thirteen trains, with locOmo-
tiVes, and several trains and extra cars
without engines were destroyed and cap
tured. All depots Of supplies in South
western Virginia and railroad depots, all
of the foundries, mills, factories. store
houses, wagon and ambulance trains and
turnpike bridges were destroyed. In adj
dition, we captured $500 rounds of ann
munition, 1000 pack saddles, large
amount of harness, great quantity Of
small arms, 1000 horses and 1000 mules.
Among the captures were two rebel ed
itors and four secession printing presses.
The latter were sent to Parson BroWnloW
as Christmas gilt.
A severe loss TO the rebels was the de-
struction of the salt works at Saltville and
the lead works at Leadville. Both were
rendered valpeless.
Our loss is very small, not exceeding
1000 killed, wounded and missing. Among
the killed was Col. Boyle, of the 18th Ky.
Cavalry. Our captured rebel prisoners
amount to SO officers and S45 men.
East Tennessee is now free from any or
ganized body of rebels.
Gen. Stonemsn had possession of the
rebel telegraph liue and held It for ID
hours, during which time he discovered
all their plans and movements.
The first train through from Chattanooga
arrived this evening. Railroad communi-
cation will be regularly kept up.
Gen. Thomas was at Pulaski last night.
Our advance were closely following Hood,
who, it is believed, is trying to CROSS the
river. Granger and Steadman are on his
right flank, and the gunboats are Smelling
his pontoOns, which he has as yet been
unable to CROSS upon.

The apothecsry said that his shadow had
lost the written evidence of his having ta>

thatit madeno ditfsrence-thatif anybody

easily take the oath over again and it
wouldn't hurt him bit. The men took
their departure for Ohio.

E8 THE PooR.-Every day we have
new aud abundant evidence that there is
great want and suffering among the poor of
the city. In every ward of the city, there
are msny-too mauy-personswho are
actually suffering for the commonest food
and clothing. In some cases the sufferers
are sick, and bed ridden, and utterly una
BILE even to make their wants known where
they would be responded to. Quite q
number of charitable ladies aud gentlemen
in some of the wards of the city have taken
upon themselves to relieve the immediate
wants of the most needy, but without some
thorough plan and renewed interest in
the matter, only a small portion Of the
poor can be reached.
We were told yesterday of two elderly
women of Centre Wheeling, who reside
together, and who are each afflicted with
an incuI e disease. They receive So per
week from the oyetseers of the poor, but
this pittancets scarcely sufficient to keep
them in fuel.
AS our readers win recollect an attempt
was made q week or two ago to get up a
meeting Of citizens and agree upon some
plan BY (which the wants of the destitute
couldsbe supplied. Nobody attended. The
object was abandoned and the poor leftsto
struggle alone, with the wolf at the door.
We sincerely hope that some of our chart-
table citizens, and We HRss not few
among us1 WiM take prompt measures to
relieve the destitute, who are known to
tbC With us in great numbers.
