were wounded.
The passengers were robbed and the rolling stock
destroyed.
The enemy left, stating that th.ir destination was
Greenvie.
Coy. Watts called on the citizens to prepare TO
defend the city, aud the cOmmandan. of the post
ordered the organization of all persons belonging to

lost.
SECOND DESPATCH.
MONTGOMERY, March 2s.-The enemy on the
railroad below moved down the road after the cap
ture and destruction of the trains below Green's
vile.
[The first despatch stated that the trains were
captured 20 miles below Montgomery. Green's
vile is 43 miles below Montgomery.-Whig.1
Their force is reported to be $500 strong, prin-
cipally infantry,
The railroad is little injured, so far as ascer-,
tanned.
A force is rapidly accommodating for defence, and
the alarm is subsding.
The reported capture of Clanton's command be-
tween Pallcna and Pensacola is unfounded.

death OF A DISTINGUISHED CIrIzEN.

DEATH OF A DISTINGUISHED CITIZEN
- The painful intelligence has reached us of the
death, on Tuesday last, Of James c, Bruce, Esq,
of Halifax county, one OF rhe most extensively
known and highly esteemed citizens of the State.
The most of his life he devoted to the care of his
large estate, the indulgence of a. fondness for
literature, and the practice OF those social
amenities and Inequalities that become the
possession OF wealth and denote generous fellow
ship with mankind. But on several occasions, and
at most momcntons periods, he was thrown into
official contact with public affairs, first, as mem
Der of the Legislature during the CRITICAL days OF
notification, and last, as a member of the Conven-
ton that severed the connection of his State with
the Federal Union. In these positions he exercised
a decided influence, aud gained much distinction.
We look for some more familiar pen to do justice
to his worth and his abilities.

SOMETHING NEw.-We call attention to
the advertisement of the Duplex Elliptic or
double Spring Skirt. Though recent in
vention, it has become very populan and is
rapidly obtaining the preference over other
kinds in use. The rods in it are composed
each of two delicate and well tempered steel
springs, which are ipgenipusly braided to-
gether edge, the lower rods heavier, and
having a double covering. This popularity
of construction makes this skirt very strong
and durable, and also so exceedingly flexible
that it readily adapts itself to the wearer'
and allows Of any amount of doubling and
crushing without injury to its shape. These
skirts are unquestionably the lightsst, mos
desirable, comfortable and encoDomical evel
made. These are advantages which ladies
who have experienced the discomfort ant
inconvenience of single springs, will dul.
appreciate.

settlement with the Commissioners, with
the knowledge and consent of the Commis-
sioners. " A majority Of these Commis-
sioners are Democrats, and one of them
(Mr. Jesse Barton) is running on the "Dem-

IF the statement Of the Gazette is correc,
that Mr.. Barton consented to this pecula
ton, by which the tax payers have been de-
frauded and partisan official allowed more
fees for his services than the law gives him
he should be held r. sponsible for it.
