CONFEDERATE Picnic AT MEMPHIS,
TENN.-The Memphis ArazancAe, of the
22d instant, has the following:
"The grand picnic, under the auspices
OF the Confederate Soldiers Relief and
Historical Society, which came off yes
terday at James Park. was most mag
nlficent success, and one of the most en-
joyable fetes clampetre that has ever been
given in Memphis. Almost every citi-
zen in Memphis felt that something
should be done for the relief of the
widows and the orphan children of those
who had freely given their lives for a
lost but not dishonored cause, and,
therefore, all were ready to contribute
their dollar for the noble Object the So
ciety has in Wow"
It is estimated that 5000 persons
we're in attendance, and an address ap-
propriate to the occasion was delivered
by Col. j. B. Heiskell, the orator of the
day.

ACCIDENTS ON THE New YORK AND
New HAVEN RAILROAD. The New York
and New Haven Railroad seems to have
been beset with misfortunes in the way
OF killing people during the past week.
Five men were killed ON Friday night,
and another was added to the number
on Saturday afternoon. The last sad
affair occurred at Milford, while the
afternoon accommodation train from
bridgeport was waiting for the express
train from New York to pass. The ac-
commodation train was standing on the
turn :out, and the persons at the depot
had been warned of the approach of the
express. Just as it appeared coming
main track to Jump on the cars. The
express was moving as if borne upon the
wind, and took the unfortunate man as
he was crossing the rails, knocking him
upon the track and severing his head
from his body, cutting it to pieces and
bruising his body and legs in the most
horrible manner. The discovered parts
were scattered along the track for some
yards. The man was apparently q la.
norer, about thirty years old, but was
Stranger to every one at the depot.

pany, Atlanta Department..
To lie People of South Carolina:
Ihe above Company was organized in 1866,
in consequence Of tho Wholesale forfeiture of
Southern policies by Northern companies. The
unparalleled success of the enterprise has
forced several of these companies to restore
their Southern policies, from the fact that they
could not operate in our mdst without the m.
pearance of honesty.
We keep all our money at home to build up
our impoverished country-eycry dollar of
premium being safely invested in the State
from which it Is derived. The institution is
purely Southern, and hence should appeal
with great force to the patriotism and symps-
thy of every Southern heart.
Tis not our purpose to make war on other
companies, but to exhibit the special advan-
tages offered by this purely Southern Compa-
ny-founded on patriotism and solid wealth.
Its ratio Of assets to liabilities true test
OF company's strength is second to none on
this continent-being nearly 800 to 1GO
Whenever and wherever We have presented
the claims of this Company, it has not only
enlisted the sympathies of our people, but has
also secured their hearty cooperation. We
have secured 500 policies in Soxth Carolina
N-N~o Wv AosA Va CcDfudTy. we number
among our Directors Gen. Wade Hampton and
Col VIM. Johnston, gentlemen we'll known to
every citizen OF South Carolina. We appeal
personally to the people of South Carolina to
assist in pushing forward this descrvedly
popular Southern institution.

The GREKNvu1E AND COLUMBIA RAIL-
RoAD.-The Charleston Courier is in
formed, that the suit in equity against
the Greenville and Columbia Railroad
Company, for the foreclosure of the
mortgage upon their road, brought by
certain holders of their first mortgage
bonds, has been settled, to the mutual
satisfaction OF all parties concerned. An
order has been made by the court, now
in session in Columbia, ION motion of
the sueing creditors,) dismissing the bill.
There are no judgments against the COM
pany obtained through the courts of law,
and having thus been relieved from the
pressure of harrassing suit, we hope to
witness continued career of prosperity
for this valuable road. Its connection
with the upper Districts, renders it q
useful branch of industry, and its i'm
portance to the low and middle Counties,
entities it to our most cordial support.

NosoLoGY IN MASSACHUSETTS. A law
yer in massachusetts has been sentenced
to two months imprisonment in the
common jail for tweaking another law
yer's nose in railroad car. This is not
the first time one lawyer has put an op-
ponents "nose out of joint" but in a
Plckwickian sense. The incarcerated
lawyer will now have time to reflect upon
the danger Of allowing his angry passions
to rise, and, as Massachusetts paper

SOMETHING NEw.-A new process for
extinguishing fires was exhibited Tues
day afternoon on the battery, New York,
IN the presence of several distinguished
city officials. 1t is said to have been
eminently satisfactory. About thirty
barrels filled with conbustible material
were ignited. and when thoroughly Oh
hre were e1tinguished by the new pro-
cess with great ease and celebrity. The
invention consists of chamber of che
micals, through which the water passes
and becomes impregnated, and as it
strikes the fireit generates carbonic acid,
and the fire is almost instantly smother
ed. 1t can he applied to any engine now
in use.

setts by the Democratic State Conven.
tlon held at Worcester. In accepting
the nomination, he delivered speech
which will doubtless attract considerable
attention in political circles and from the
people at large. He declared it the duty
OF the Democracy to abandon dead issues
by accepting the established fact of uni.
versal, unqualified suffrage, and to turn
their attention to other and more vital
issues. Mr. Adams then referred to
these living questions of the day by say
ing that the price Of coal is an outrage,
the duty On iron q swindle and the tariff
an sbomination.' He spoke of the con-
dhon OF the working GLASSES as being
worse than ii was in 1860. and expressed
his belief that return to hard money
was the panacea for existing ills. Re-

Mr. Adams was bold in his opposition to

cally Of the manner in which it was en-
forced. The resolutions adopted by the
Convention are Of the same tenor as was
the speech"
The New York Times (Republicun)
says:
eve do not suppose that John Quincy
Adams, who has again been nominated
ny the Democracy for Governor of Mas
sachusetts, has any very great expecta-
ton OF being elected-even though lie
may be supposed to have better pros
pect than he had last year, on account of
the liquor prohibition question, which
dlsturbs the Republican party. There
have been attempts to bring about q
union between the organized liquor
interest and the Democracy, but it has
not been effected, and it would, in any
event, result in failure. In the Republi-
can party there are two factions-one of
which desires the nomination of an anti
prohibition candidate, while the other is
determined to secure a prohibition can
dldate. The party is 80 strong in Mas
sachusetts that it is confident Of success.
whoever may be its nominee.
This is the third time, successfully.
IN which John Quincy Adams has been
nominated for the Govetnorship of his
native State by the Democracy. Though
badly beaten twice, he has not yet been
discouraged from further efforts. He has
had no experience in public life, except
for single term as member of the
lower House of the State Legislature.
But during his gubernatorial canvass
last year, and especially during the
Southern tour in which he gave so much
good advice to the people Of the South,
he showed himself possessed of mea-
sure of intellect, independence and cou-
rage not unworthy the son of our late
distinguished Minister to England, and
the descendant Of the two Presidents of
the United States, who were leaders of
our two great historical movements, one
for national independence and the other
for universal freedom"
