train on the Sandnsky, Mansfield and Newark
Railroad, which left here at 515 a. M, yes
terday, when nearing Louisville, station
ten mixes north Of Newark. was discovered
to be on fire. ignited. ii is supposed Try sparks
from the engine. The fire happened to strike
on car loaded with crude petroleum. Of
which there were three in the train and near
the engine. As quickly as possible the train
was stopped and the other portions cut loose,
but not till all three of the petroleum cars
we're burning. Of course they we're speedily
destroyed, with contents-probably abont one
hundred and eighty barrels of oil. The fire
also communicable the Campbell Bridge"
over the north fork Of the Licking. through
which the burning cars passed, but was
speedily cxtinguished and the bridge saved.
So great was the heat that the telegraph wires
at the roadside we're melted off. The track
was also burned considerably, but workmen
were speedily on hand to repair it, and it will
be all right for the passage of trains to day.
We have heard no estimates of loss, which so
-Sar aszwe could learn, included only the Pc
trpleum and cars in which it was contained.
These we're large, new stock or rack cars,

THE NEW COTTON TAX.
WARRINGTON. Nav 8, 1866


The House of Representatives, at its
evening session tonight, went to work in
earnest on the new Tax Bill. The first
eight sections of the Bill, which comprise
all that relates to the cotton tax and the
mode of collecting it, were read, and, after
q sharp debate, amended and agreed to. As
your merchants and planters, and indeed
all who are directly or indirectly connected
with the cotton interest, will doubtless be
eager to read all about this hitherto unheard
of excise tax, I have copied out the sec.
tions of the Bill acted on by the House to.
night, in the amended form in which they
were agreed to, and send them to you with
out delay. They read as follows:
Be 1t enacted, &C., That on and after the
first day of July, 1866, inlieu of the duties
on unmanufactured cotton as provided in

whcih does not require much running. If
there is a dull one, help him to get his

EDITORS AVALANCHE have
just returned from a trip 10 Oxford,
Miss, where | went to attend the cx-
animation of the pupils Of the Union
Female College. | was truly graft
fed to witness the prosperity Of this
school, which has been closed four
years on account Of the war. II is
an evidence Of the determination of
the people of the South to reinstate
as fast as possible their former pros
perity, and build up again their ed
ucational facilities.
The institution is under the care OF
Rev. c. II. Bell, with q competent
and accomplished body Of teachers.
The building is large and well ar
ranged, furnishing ample room for
recitation and the boarding of teach
ers and pupils. The Rev. W. W.
Mcmahon and lady have charge OF
the boarding department, and have
succeeded in rendering this institu-
ton truly a home for young ladies.
At the recent examination, the
young ladies acquitted themselves in
a manner which proved that the
teaching is thorough and solid.
Oxford is a healthy location, and
has refined society. The people o.
North Mississippi should be proud o.
this school, and give Il a constant,
increasing patronage.
