REMARKABLE ESCAPE. Yesterday
morning, n most miraculous escape
occurred Mt tho depot of the South
Carolina Railroad, in Line street,
just before the departure of tho pas
senger train for Columbia. A hack
man had just driven into the yard of
the depot, having in his carriage n
Mr.. Steadman, his sister and n child,
and had jumped down from his seat
to open the door, when the whistle
of an approaching freight train
frightened his horses, and they dash
ed of. The horses running out of
the yard, turned in the direction of
the railroad track, and ran directly
across it. They barely escaped the
approaching locomotive, which struck
one Of the hind wheels OF the car
riage, and threw the occupants out
upon the ground. The carriage was
dragged half way to Columbus street,
and literally smashed to atoms. The
horses broke loose from the carriage
as soon as il was struck by the loco
motive, and ran until they slipped
up in mud puddle, and were then
caught.
Extraordinary, and even incredible
rs it may seem, neither people or
horses were hurt.

INcEND1ARIsM-The Darlington
ISomhermer publishes o communion
tion from T. P. Lide, Esq, of that
District, in which he states that his
gin-house and some smaller build
ings were destroyed by incendiary
fires on the 9th ult. On the same
night, but at an earlier hour, the gin
house and fodder of hisneighbor and
friend, Capt. VIM. Law, were fired,
but it was discovered in time to frus-
trate the diabolical purposes of the
wretches, and save his premises from
q most disastrous confagration.
There is good reason for believing
that this was all the work of one
party.
"a few days before Mr.. Lide's ca
lamity, the torch was applied to n
building, containing fodder and hay,
on the premises of the late Chancel-
lor Dargan, and the same was con-
sumed.
"On Sunday night last. the torch
was also applied to somo buildings at
the Cyprus Plantation of the late
James s. Mccall, and one or more of
them were consumed.
Stealing has become so common
that it is scarcely noticed now; the
absorbing question is how to save
ones premises from the incendiary's
torch. No one feels safe without a
strict watch upon his premises, and
God only knows how this thing is to
end.
"The dwelling house on Gen. J.
b. Nettles' plantation-in which TIE
General was sleeping for the first time
in months-was fred on Wednesday
night, and before much could be
saved was soon in o blaze, and the
General had but time to save him
self"

The LADIES SOUTHERN RELIEF
ASSOCIATION The ladies composing
this truly benevolent association are
actively at work in perfecting their
arrangements for the series of musi-
cal and promenade concerts, tableaux,
suppers and other entertainments
which they propose to give at the
hall of the Maryland Institute, COM
mencing on Monday evening, the 18th
of January. A number of commit
tees have been appointed, all having
special duties to perform, and there
can be but little doubt that an enter
tainment will be produced rejecting
credit on all concerned, and which
will produce sum sufficient to send
JOY and gladness into many house
hold of the suffering South. To ac-
complish the latter object, the lady
managers look to the generous sup
port of the community at large, and
particularly, in the way of supplies,
do they rely on liberal contributions
from the country friends of the cause
OF suffering humanity. In many
sections of the devastated South the
suffering Of widowed mothers and
orphan children is represented as
being far greater at the present time,
than at any period since the close of
the war, and it is for the special
relief of this clas of sufferers that the
genorous-hearted ladies of Baltimore
have again come before the public as
laborers in the good cause 1t is to
be hoped that their success will be
equal to their merits.

Investments to other peopie-ear-

to the Southern States through such
instrnmentality-they do not exhibit
that full faith in their own advice
which acting upon it would imply.
What the South needs-like all other
great communities-first of all, and
as the condition sine qua non of all
industrial prosperity and all material
development, is settled Govern
ment, in the practical working of
which all who live there, and all who
think of investing money thers, and
all whose welfare in any way depends
upon Southern prosperity, shall have
strong and abiding confidence. The
South has no such governments now.
1t has no governments which COR
mand the respect and confidence of
its own people. 1t is trying very
hard to get them.
Congress has, assumed control of
the whole Southern question. 1t
denied and violently resisted, resent
ed and defeated the authority which
the Executive attempted to assert
and exercise over it-took into its
own hands the whole business of
dealing with the Southland Con-
gress must expect to be held respon-
sible for the results.

RAILROAD OVER THE A1ps.-Mr.
Boyard Taylor has given the New
York Tribune an account of his trip,
in the latter part of September, over
the first railroad which crosses the
ALPINE chain, and which has been
now completed and opened to the
public between four and five months.
The pass of the Semmering, copied
after the passage of the Alleganies on
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, and
few of the passes of the Alps are less
than 5000 feet elevation. The Breu-
ner Pass, which is the first of the
Alpine passes mounted by locomo-
tive, is the lowest of them oil, the
summit being Alto feet above the
sea level. Mr.. Taylor gives graphic
account of the great natural obsta-
cles overcome by the road. From
Innsbruck the distance to the sum-
init is twenty-one miles by railway.
Innsbruck is 1000 feetabove the sea,
so that the elevation between the two
points is 2,770 feet, or IN average Of
131 feet to the mile. Mr.. Taylor
writes that all the communication be-
tween Germany and Italy seems
crowding on the Breuner Pass, and
instead of one coach, with q dozen
passengers, which was the last stage
arrival at Innsbruck before the COM
pletion of the railroad, there were,
six weeks afterwards, two trains O
day, with 200 passengers, and every
day trains are delayed by the rnsh of
travellers.

FATAL. AFFr-RAY.-O Tuesday even

FATAL. AFFRAY. On Tuesday even
ing, the Gath ultimo, our town was
Isaddened by an affray of the mest
painful character we have ever been
compelled &c chronicle as occurring
in our midst. The ladies connected
with the Presbyterian Church of this
place. had arranged to have Christ
mas tree and other festivities, at
"Moore's Hail." on Main street, in
behalf Of the Sabbath School of their
Church. Towards the close of the
entertainment, and about 8 o'clock
in the evening, some missiles were
thrown through the windows of the
hall, from a party of persons in the
street in front of the building, and
some little boys, it is supposed, re-
sponded by throwing sticks of wood
into the crowd in the street. The
persons in the hall becoming excited
by the demonstration outside, three
or four gentlemen. among whom woe
Dudley Jones, jr., q young man of
high character, went out upon the
street to ascertain the cause and
character of the disturbance. While
in the street, Jones used some violent
language towards those who had
thrown the missiles into the hall.
The company in the hall soon after
wards dispersed, and as Jones re-
turned by the hall, after conducting
lady home, he was called to account
by Thomas A. Smith and William
Snider-two young men wellesteemed
in the community-for the language
he had used respecting the authors
of the disturbance. Some sharp
words ensued, and Jones, it seems,
was attacked by them and struck
several times, when, drawing pock-
et-knife, he began to cut promiscu-
ously at his assailants. Thomas A.
Smith received severe blow from
the knife, cutting his throat from
one side to the other, and producing
death almost Immediately. William
Snider received severe wound from
the same knife, in the side and
abdomen, from which, however, it is
hoped he will recover, as he seems to
be doing well under the treatment OF
his surgeons, Drs. Bratton Il Jack
son.
Shortly after the painful occur
renee. Jones placed himself in the
custody of the sheriff, to await q
judicial inquiry into the affair.
An application for bail for Jones,
was made by his counsel, Messrs.
Williams & Son and Hart, on Mon
day last, before Judge Beatty, of the
District Court, and the defendant
released upon a bond, with sureities
in the sum of So, 900, for his appear

Our New York exchanges report,
on the authority of Rev. E. P. Wal
ton, agent of Washington College,
that Rev. Henry Ward Beecher las
contributed one thousand dollars to that
institution. If this is his plan of
reconstruction, for cnco we can say,
Here's our hand, Mr.. Beecher."
Following the cue given by Horace
Greeley's expensive kindness to Mr..
Davis, Mr.. Beecher holds out the
hand of cordial reconciliation to
Gen. Lee, in his quiet, self-sacrifcing
devotion to the cause of Southern
education. That two prominent,
astute and influential radicals, such
as Greeley and Beecher, should open
the hand of a liberal and costly gen
erosity toward the South, is an omen
of cheering hope and promise. Is
this the pledge of further liberality
from the party that wields such meal
culable wealth, or will Mr.. Beecher's
friends desert him in this magnani-
nous stride towards reconciliation, as
10000 of Mr.. Greeley's subscribers
did for going Mr.. Davis bail?

sSpHhDY ARREST OF AN $1,000 De-
FAUnTER. The Charleston Mercury

SpHHDY ARREST OF AN $s, 900 DE-
FAUnTER. The Charleston Mercury
states that, on Saturday last, young
man and young woman, both of very
respectable appearance, stopped as
the Mills House, and registered them
selves as Ct. Richmond and wife, Cali
fornia. The extreme iberality of
Mr.. Richmond, as displayed in the
billiard room opposite the Mills
House, by paying for everybody's
games, and insisting on treating
everybody to champagne, reused the
suspicious of some United States
detectives, who happened to be pre-
sent, who thought that money which
was SO easily parted with must have
been easily obtained.
Richmond appeared very commu
nicative and anxious to make friends,
and stated that his intentions were to
remain in Charleston until Tuesday
next. On further investigation, it
was found that the young man was
no other than clerk named Robert
Preston, in the employ of the Dor
chester Mutual Insurance Company,
who had disappeared with So, 900 in
Government bonds. He confessed ut
once, aud surrendered 1000 of the
money, which he still had, and also q
quantity of valuable iewelry. Mrs.
Richmond, who is represented to be,
to all appearances, q respectable lady,
denied all knowledge of the defalca-
tion; but that is O tough story, con-
sidering the assumed name, and
strange circumstances under which
she must have found herself, ever
since she left Massachusetts. Rich
mond, alias Preston,i is still in
Charleston, under the care Of the de-
tectives, who are awaiting instruc-
tions from Massachusetts,.
