AcCIDENT.-On Friday the I'd inst, Arthur
Pue, Esq, living about three miles from this
place, came near being drowned. 1t appears
that on the day in question he went to Bush
river for the purpose of ducking, and to facili-
tue his sport, he procured small boat, known
as skitf; and in firing at some ducks, he fred
over the side Of the boat or skif which over
turned it. lie had heavy overcoat on at the
time, and heavy gun in his hand and in his
efforts to save the gun, he came near losing his
life. After being in the water about three-quar-
tiers of an hour, he was rescued by boatman,
whose name we could not learn.

Shoddy at a Prayer Meeting.

A clergyman of this city, whose zeal in
every good word and work needs n, en-.
Enlistment at our hands, received day
or two ago an anonymous note, which we
print verbatim, emitting only the ad.

"DEAR SIR have Just returned FROM

to inform you that your prayer at the
close had an unhappy effect apon the
writer, and l fear many more. Feeling
deep interest in the solcunity of that
meeting, would have coMe away

when you, sir, a Known traitor TO yonr

prayer, l could but feel it was IL mock

/ ger.
The prayer meeting at which this saint
ly scriCbler experienced such "unhappy
| effects" was held in tho interest of all
mankind, and those who shared in its ex
ercises were of many different creeds.-
The clergyman to whom this note was
addressed was called upon in his turn to
pray, and did so as bcGtted his sacred
office. But tho soul of the shoddy was
vexed at the sound of prayer from lips
that had not lent themselves through all
the war to any service other than that of
the Divine Master.
sboddy came away without his "spir.
itual strength renewed" Shoddy felt
IN sueh very unhappy frame of mind
that the only relief he could find was in
writing an insolent letter, to which CATER

ashamed Or afraid to put his name. We
should love to draw him forth from modest
spiritual retirement and give his name
to the world as an example of charity and
gentle faith.
Perhaps when he sees his beautiful
little note in print, the vanity of author

may induce him to avow its fraternity. He

FRE-About oclock, P. NJ. on Wednesday,
the Tth instant, the house nearly opposite the
Masonic Hall, in this town, and occupied by
Mrs. Barbara Ferry as tavern, caught fire.
The building was an old frame, and for time
the'fre made fearful Roadway, but by the al
most superhuman efforts of number of our cit-
zens, who were promptly on the ground, the fire
was subdued not, however, until the upper
part of the building was destroyed. The office of
the National american stands within q few feet
of the burnt building and at one time appeared
to be in so much danger, that Mr.. Bouldin
moved his cases, type, furniture, &C., into the
street, and although his office was not injured,
he suffered much in consequence of the disar-
rargement of his office. We also suffered some
what after the manner of MIR. Bouldin. Our law
office is separated but few inches from that of
the american, and when it appeared in such inn
ninent danger, our library, which is large, to-
gether with our papers, book cases and furni-
ture, were all tumbled into the street for safety.
This was q precauton for which We are much
obliged to the citizens. We sustained no other
loss than few panes of glass and some papers.
Too much praise cannot be bestowed on the citi-
zens of the town, who turned out en- masse not
to look on, but TO work for we saw none idle,
FROM the boy of ten to the man of sixty.

South America.

We have later intelligence of the pro-
gress OF hos;ilities on the Pacific coast, be-
tween Chill and Peru and Spain. The re-
port that the Spaniards bad abandoned the
blockade Of all the Gillian ports except
ing Valparaiso, and concentrated their
whole fleet before that place, is confirmed,
and there were indications that they would
shortly lombard the city. Before with
drawing from the harbor of Caldera, they
burned eight or ten Gillian vessels they
had captured, in order to free themselves
from unnecessary encumbrance. 1t was
reported that the Chilians had captured q.
Spanish transport in the Straits of Magel-
Ian, and the Spanish fleet was said to be
so short of supplies that serious mutinies
have occurred on board some Of the YES
sells from this cause. The Peruvians were
prepared to destroy everything on the
Chincha Islands, aflording facilities for
the transportation of guano in case the
Spaniards should attempt to move on those
rich deposits.
Regarding the Atlantic coast war, be-
tween Paraguay and the allies, we have
additional details. On the 23d of Deem
Der, the Brazilian land forces, numbering
twenty five thousand, had arrived in the
vicinity of the strong. Paraguayan position
at Paso da Patria, and would be joined in
a few days by ten thousand Argentines,
end Orientals, soon after which it was in
tended to make combined land and ma
val attack on the Paragraphs, and to"
push forward into the country of the lat
ter. Diseases of various kinds still pre-
vailed to an alarming extent among tls+
troops on both sides. The allies were
making preparations to attack Fortress
HuHaita, and an assault was TO have boon
made about the LIST inst. The Paraguay
an forces lately made an attack Gu ,.le cav
airy Of the allies, under General Uaccrcs,
but were repulsed in disorder. The con-
dtiop of the troops of tho Paras uap4n
Dictator, Lopez, is represented to be very
bad, and their morals even worse. The
Dictator had enforced another conscrip-
tim, which had resulted in robb'ng the
Paraguayan adles aud graves without
adding much effective force to the army.
Gen. Urqu;za, the leader of the rebels Of
Buenos Ayres, whose suppression by the
Argentine Republic, in 1862, Was the
origin of the present war, appears to havo
accepted the logic of events Which defeat
ed him, and has joined President Nitro in
invading Paraguay and i'll fighting Lopez
and the exied rebels who melted him
to invade the Argentine Republic The
allies In their Invasion have not met with
uninterrupted success. Their troops suf
fer much from the Scarcity of provisions
and their transports in the Parana and
the other br9.nches of the Plata river
have experienced great difficulty in navi
eating those streams as high up as the
army has now advanced. Their success:
has been very encouraging, however, ant
the Dictator of Paraguay is in Il very
tight place. The next Rio Jancrio steamer
will probably bring news of a decisive con
test al Fort Humaita.

SINGULAR RoBBERY.-A negro wo-
man living on Baker street, Richmond,
left her house on Friday to fetch buck
ct Of water So soon as she was out of
sight, negro man entered the kitchen,
shouldered the cooking stove, and started
off. As the woman returned, she caught
a glimpse of the thief and his burden and
shouted "Thicves !" in very vigorous
and cdifying manner. A pursuit was
commenced, and the negro soon threw
the stove down., only too happy to be ena-
bled even thus to make good his escape.
