Tho Clarksville Bridge Disaster.

0 On Friday morning of last week, ~
our readers were istormed through
special dispatches To the Banner, the
South span of Cumberland river bridge,
at Clarkesville, gave way, preeipiIatine
an engine and four cars loaded with
wood distance of about sixty feet, fall,
ing partly into the water and partly on
the bank. There Were some twenty per
sons on the train at the time, and il
seems almost miracle that they were
not all either drowned or crushed 10
death. fith tHs g,. tte
The Clarksville Express furnishes the
following additional particulars: The
train was backing acrossr-or rather the
engine was in the rear, pushing the cars
ahead--and as soon as the weight of the
train was fairly upon the span, it gave
way all at once; and 10 this fact may be
attributed the small loss of life and limb
which, To oil Appearances at first, seemed
fearful to contemplate Had the break
been less sudden and complete,
the consequences would have been far
more serious, as the chances of es-
cape would have been materially
lessened by the timbers separating and
falling .prOmiscuously But the whole
span going at once, it was in u manner
borne down by the train, and struck be-
fore separating to,any great extent
There were five white men and thir-
teen negroes ON board at the time, all of
whom went down with the wreck, and
strange to say, only one life was lost

LINcOLN,s OPINIONS.

The St Louis Republican says In
lS47 Mr.. LINCOLN, the late President,
then a member CO Congress, it is alleged,
declared in set speech at that time sub
stantially that any part of a people had
right to separate from the other part
of it and set up new government, the
seceders being the true and only judges
of the propriety of their conduct. Some
portion of the Southern people had been
educated TO believe in. secession others
ofthem believed that, though secession
was no right, yet coercion, in case a
STATE declared herself ont of the Union,
was no remedy. 't"A ""i 80

The Literati Of Mobile.

A correspondent of the New Orleans
Times writes from Mobile that he has
had the pleasure of calling upon Miss
Augusta j. Evans, the author Of g Beu-
lab" He says:
found her most charming young
lady, and ] should say, without hesita-
ton, one Of the most gifted and hest in
formed women in America In her
conversation there is rare combination
Of ease, elegance and grace, In spite of
your disposition to say something to
maintain a conversation, you find your
self gradually and insensibly becoming
mere listener, spell-hound by that magic
fame of ideas clothed in rich and most
elegant language accompanied by kind
of magnetism that give them for the time
a perfect mastery over your whole being
This is no afiectation in her CONVERSE
ton or manner; both are perfectly
childlike and artless; but there is a
mystery and power in these same words
that make them positively irresistible
Miss Evans is about twenty three years
of age, is well formed of medium hight,
has hazel eyes and n magnificent head
She has a fair, smooth skin and very su-
perior temperament, beinga mixture of
the sanguine aud nervous The brain of
Byron, it is said, did not TO be more
than two-,hirds the size Of that of Cuvier,
but owing to the fneness of its texture
and o great density it weighed within a
few irachms Of the brain of the illus
trious naturalist The temperament of
Byron was mixtuie of the sanguine
and nervous, identicaly the same as that
of Miss Evans f fsfFTr
She informed me that she was engaged
on a work at present which she hoped to
be able 10 get out in the course Of the
summer. Though a considerable portion
is written she has not yet given it a title
