Dreadful Accident.

We arc informed of most painful and
fatal occurrence on one OF the hacks from
Alston. About one and half miles this
side of Hope Station, the hack or ambu-
lance was precipitated into gulley about
fifteen feet deep. The result was that four
passengers were killed outright and three
severely wounded.
Among tho passengers killed was the
Rev. DIR. James Cohen. so long known as
professor in the Theological Seminary in
this city; Mrs. VanWinkic, of Charleston;
an English lady, (namc not known a resi-
dent in the family of Mr.. Pcronncaux, of
Charleston: and a colored servant or nurse

where. Under our present information, We

We observe that Convention of United
States internal Revenue Assessors from
NcE York. New England and the Western
States, was held last week at Albany. for
the prrposc OF making such recommends :.
tiors to the next Congress, respecting the
practical working of the law, as their cx-
pcrlencc might dictate, with the view OF
securing greater uniformity in its cxecu-
ton. The Convention failed to agree upon
report, partly from the great diversity of
opinion III regard to the workings Of the
law and the remedy for existing abuses
partly from greater desire on the part OF
the assessors to retain their places, and
not offend their supcriors, than to improve
the law: Yet their deliberations elected
some interesting facts, and were important
as showing the necessity that exists for Il
revision Of our revenue svstc.. When
ever an assessor made n statement OF the

ablest and most intelligent assessors sup

operation with the necessary preliminary
steps proposed by the Administration at
Washington for their restoration to the
Federal Union, and their adoption of mea-
surcs suggested merely by that Govern
ment, have sincerely and patrioticaly come
up to the great work of rcconstructing the
Republic as it was upon the foundation of
the Constitution and laws. The mere tenn
porary domination Of any radical party
should not deter those having the ship of
State IN charge to deviate from the chart
course laid out, and we trust will not
-As some OF our Northctn exchanges very
properly say, the Southern States arc natu-
rally anxious to know definitely upon what
terms they will be permitted to enjoy the
privileges and perform the duties that ap-
pertain to them as parts of our political
system; and the North as we'll as tho
South is naturally desrous Of understand
ing the policy of the Administration. II
an amendment Of the Constitution is to be
made an imperative condition OF the re.
habilitation Of the Union, let it be so
stated in unequivocal words. 1t would be
great injustice to demand such a condi-
ton, but the injustice is enhanced bv this
method of paltcring in q double sense.
ar. Seward says that peace and harmony
depend upon the loyal legislation of the
Southern States upon question that is
already settled. We deny it, says the New
York -AeecS. Peace rcigns throughout the
Republic. and is not likely to be disturbed
from any issues of a domestic nature; and.
rs TO harmony, there is nothing that
Threatens that except the efforts Of Black
hepubllcasllsm to enforce their partisan
doctrines upon an unwilling people.
1t is eminently proper that the States
seeking to be restored to their r;obtful
position III the Union should know definitely
what are the conditions they must accept
before what they seek viii hc afforded to
them. God knows they have suffered enough.
and in their manly and honest efforts
to ACCEPT and faithfully carry out the con-
ditioDs necessary and consequent upon tho
results of the late war, the duty of patriots
everywhere should be to facilitate these
efforts.
Cancellation and the promotion of good
srcling between tho people of the two sec
tlons lately at war; is now the work of pa
triots everywhere, all over the land. TOO

morsel from the Pensdmie,to Espanof:
The ca1dinal-Archhishop Of Toledo has just
addressed circular to his clergy absolutely
forbidding women to sing in churches. This
prohibition indicates the intention Of rcme-
dying an abuse contrary to canon.law, M
abuse which prevails In many churches, and
has been introduced into some quite recently.

Of the attendants, cause great waste. Of

than Of true piety. The prayers most agreea-
