What we are Made of.

Ifthe reader of this paper lives
another year, his self.conscious
principles will have migrated from
his present tenement to another,
the new materials Of which are not
yet put together. A portion ofthe
body which is to be, will ripen in
the corn of his next harvest. An
other portion of his future person
he will purchase, or others will pur-
chase for him. headed up in the
form of certain bar rels of potatoes.
A third fraction is yet to be gather
ed in the Southern rice fields. The
limbs with which he is then to walk
will be clad with the flesh borrow
ed from the tenants of many stalls
and pastures now unconscious Of
their doom.
The very organs of speech with
which he is to ask so wisely, plead
SO eloquentiy or speak effectively, a.,
must first serve his humble breth-
rem to bleat, to below, and all the
varied utterances of bristledom
feathered barnyardlife. His bones
themselves are, 10 q great extent in
posse and not eSse. A bag Of phos.
phate of lime. which he has order
ed from Prof. Mapes for his grounds,
contains large part of what is to
be his skeleton. And moro than
all this, and by far the greater part
Of his body, is nothing at all but
water; the main substance of his
scattered members is to be looked
for in tho reservoir, in the running
stream, at the bottom of the well,
in the clouds that float over his
head, or diffused among them all.

Terrible Railroad Accident

The down-freight train on the Richmond
and Danville railroad met with terr;hlt
accident at half-past one o'clock YESTERDAY
morning, at Swift Creek, sixteen miles
from this city. The heavy rains of the
day and night previous had washed avav
culvert and about ninety feet Of an EN-.
bankment at the point indicated. The in.
jury to the road having occurred after the
passenger trains had passed, the conductor
OF the freight train, due here at 3 A. NJ
knew nothing of it, and the train was NOV
ing at It's ordinary rate Of speed. On reach
ing the chasm left by the wash. the eno;no
plunged in and turned over. The entire
train OF ten cars followed suit, was piled nm
on the engine, and broken to pieces mo
freight with which the train was loaded
was very much damaged.
There were fifteen cars in Enc train Ton
OF which followed the engine and were
smashed to pieces. -Four ofthe five that re-
malned on the track were loaded with live
stock -,
The freight Of the cars that were smash
ed consisted principally Of tobacco and
Wheat The loss to the company in rolling
stock, &C., is estimated at from six to eieht
thousand dollars.
Strange to say, however. the engine
was not seriousl y damaged.
A colored brakeman named Jordan
Pincher was killed outright, and the en-
gineer, Loftin Lindsey, was very seriously
injured on the breast and left arm. He
was taken to Coalield station and the SER
vice of a physician procured, who did what
was necessary for him. Richmond En-

E@ Hunnicutt threatens to do some
thing dreadful and smash things to pieces,
after while, when he shall be made Gov
ernor Of Virginia under the mongrel dis
pensation, and when he will have all the
courts and all the civil officers under his
control. He is going to sue every man
who ever took liberties with his precious
character. He is going to use up, ram
squaddle, and eternally ruinate all such
offenders. Upon this 'momentous theme"
he spreads himself thusly The time
will come when these black hearted, .dia-
bolical, vindictive, unrelenting alanderers
will be forced into open court, achess and
aehen they will have an opportunity either
to prove their base allegations, or suffer
the penalties due such infamous aoretches
for their mean ,cowardly ,Gendish SANDERS"
Oh, Mr.. icutt-sweet Mr.. Hunnicutt
don't you do it.! We beseech you, by
all the radical preachers; by all the 'sohar-
acter, christian faith and devotion" of the
radical party; by the love you have for
eight millions of white people; by all things,
celestial and all things terrestrial; bv no.
key, dear Mr. Hunnicutt-beg pardon.
Governor Hunnicutt- don't YOU do It,
ltwould be 50 cruel. It might make a
fuss in the radicalrepuh,ican family. It
might 'force into open court Bolts, Peir-
point, and those editors who have spoken
dlsrespectfully Of Hunnicutt and his sett."
For all the aforesaid reasons, and for: all
other imaginary or possible reasons, We
implore you, Dir. Eunnioutt, don't you Go
it! Fix your price-you know ''every
man has his price" and we'll try to raise
the amount by private subscriptions. Don't
force anybody ''into open court" Don't
you do it!

GEN. R. E. LEE-Tbe following ex-
tract is taken from an interesting letter
written by lady in Liberty Bedford
county, Virginia, to a friend in Alexandria:
Gen. Lee, accompanied by his daughter,
Miss Mildred, stopped here for night on
his way to the White Sulphur. While
here the Generals Old officers proposed
giving him an entertainment in shape Of a
dinner or supper, bat he declined all pub
lie demonstrations. AS he rode through
the village, on his departure, the citizens
assembled, and while he was passing along
the streets every man raised his hat and
stood with bowed head The General also
raised his hat, and this silent tribute Of the
people to their favorite General, was in
deed beautiful. A gentleman riding with
the General at the time says, ''that he felt
like weeping, it being such solemn trib-
ute of respect-so silent and sad-not a
voice was raised-'twas the heartfelt love
Of conquered people for q beloved hero. .

The Manassas Gap Railroad

The proposals for rebuilding the Manas-
sas Gap Railroad were received at the Office
of the Orange and Alexandria Railroad
Company, in this city, up to noon yester-
day, and although the announcement has
not been officially made, yet it is known
that the contract has been awarded to
Messrs. Placide & Clarke, of Baltimore,
and that the work viii be begun at once,
and vigorously prosecuted The contract is
fer rebuilding the road from the present
terminus Of the track, at Piedmont, in Fau-
quier CO., twenty seven miles from its juno
ton with the Orange and Alexandria Rail-
road, to Mount Jackson, distance Of a.
bout fifty-one miles. On a portion of the
line, from Strasburg to Timberville, Ga
short distance beyond Mount Jackson, to
which point the road was constructed prior
to the breaking ont of the war, the rails
are laid-neyer having been disturbed
since.put down, and thus necessitating on
ly the reconstruction Of the bridges and
readjusting Of the track and greatly facil-
itating the prosecution of the work, the
whole of which is expected to be finished
by the first of next January, the necessary
iron having been purchased, and ready for
! laying the track as fast as needed
The terms of the contract have not been
made public, but it is understood that they
are very favorable, the contractors taking
in part payment a large amount Of the new

cording to report made by Mr.. Vande-
grift, the General Superintendent, to the
meeting of the Stockholders Of the Orange
and Alexandria Railroad Company, in
April last, the cost Of reconstrting the road
from Piedmont to Mount Jackson will be
about $500, COO.
! There have, as yet, been no proposals
solicited for continuing the road to Har-
rison burg, but once completed to Mount
Jackson, a short time, and a comparative
ly small amount, will be required to finish
it to the former place, to which it must
soon be built, and from which point in the
Valley, so much additional trade is conf

The EMPRESS CarlOtta,

The Queen Of the Belgians, despite pre-
dictions to the contrary, had no difficulty
in pursuading the ex-Queen of Mexico to
leave Miramar The unfortunate Carlotta,
who supported the fatigue of the long
journey extremely well, is now at the Chat
eau of Tervueren, within half hours
drive of Brussels, Her brother, King Leo
pold, went to meet his wife and her at the
station. Dir. Bulkens, the eminent Belgian
physician in all cases Of insanity, who has
had extraordinary success in his profession
expects to cure her. His opinion is that a
subtle poison was given to her in Mexico,
and that the Vienna doctors have been
treating her wrong.
