ACCORDING to our Salem corresponds
ent, Governor Woods insisted that he
and Sam. May should be permitted to
entertain Mr.. Seward and the Colfaz
party for the city because they were
the only two men in Salem who had
houses fine enough for such purposes.
Well, the public should not COM
plain that the reception by these gen
tlemen in behalf of the city was thus
converted into private affair. Per-
haps the houses they boast of and re-
ceive these guests in, come little
nearer being public property than any
IN the capital.

WILKES APPRECIATED. 4

FEELS rr YKr.-Goy. Bross, of the
Colfax party, in his speech ut Salem
the other day, mentioned the fact that
Democratic paper abused him upon
the occasion of his former visit.
Mr.. Bross certainly has not forgot
ten that he was guilty at that time Of
making very bitter partisan speech to
the men and women who came out to
welcome him as a visitor and guest.
II he hns forgotten it, the people oi
Salem have not, by any manner oi
means. After reading his recent
speeches, we think that that newspa-
per criticism worked something of a
reformation.

IN GENERAL.

A great many politicians have con-
gregated in Salem in attendance upon
the Supreme Court. I am informed
that most of them want to be Cover
nor. And no wonder, since the no.
toriously impecunious Woods of 1866
is able to report an income in 1868 of
$1,000 and reside in one of the only
two houses in Salem fine enough to
entertain Schuyler Colfax, and all on
salary of $500 per annum. This
prosperity is only equalled by that of
Cooke and Notation, who have con-
jointly inherited from Jay Cook of
Philadelphia enough financial ability,
and that too from great distance, to
make $125, 900 worth Of brick houses,

A SAD AccIDENr.--New York, July 81.
About dusk last evening, whole family,
consisting of a man and wife, two daughters
about fifteen and seventeen years of age, and
two little children, were observed rowing up
North river in small boat. When opposite
Bulls ferry the boat capsized, and the whole
appeared to be thrown into the water. Two
men Immediately went out to their rescue, but
before they could reach the party the man
and woman and the two eldest daughters sunk.
The two little ones, however, were found in
the boat, which had righted, but which was
half full of water. They were rescued and
brought in safe to shore. Both were too
young to give their names. The men who
rescued them were unable to ascertain the
names of the family. One little girl could
only say mamma" aud "papa." They
were safely cared for, and efforts are being
made this morning to find out their names
It is reported that the parties reside on the
brow Of the hill at the upper end Of West
Hoboken, and that the husband is a druggist,
doing business in Brooklyn.

chat the party is divided. On the contrary,
we claim that the Grant Walker party is the
National Republican party of Virginia, rep
rescnting the policy Of the President and OF
Congress, and, as such, have no divisions to
heal True, majority of the colored PEG
pie, under the mis-direction Of the Wells
leaders, voted against the policy of President
Grant, but their eyes have been opened to
their mistake, and they are now flocking by
hundreds to the Grant Walker standard.
To the late Wells party, we have only to
say, "We shall gladly welcome them to our
ranks" for we are unwilling to deprive any
class Of citizens of the innumerable blessings
that must flow to Virginia from an unequlvo-
cal enforcement of those national principles
of which President Grant and the Congress
of tho United States are the head and front.

Accident on the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railroad.

About one o'clock on Saturday last, while
the mail train of the Chesapeake and Ohio
railroad was coming towards Charlottesville
and when about four or FIVE miles east from
that place, the brake attached to the front
truck of the hindmost car came loose and
fell in front of the wheel, causing the car tc
be thrown from the track and completely up
set, thereby wounding some twelve or fifteen
persons, two dangerously. The Lynchbure
virginian has the following
The train was moving at the rate of fifteen
or twenty miles an hour at the time of the
accident, but was stopped almost Immediately
by the occurrence; the car, however, became
detached A gentleman who was on the train
at the time describes the scene following as
one OF great confusion and terror. The
car was almost entirely occupied by ladies
and the extreme alarm and CONSERVATION Of
all, added to the suffering Of those who were
really hurt, made it distressing spectacle.
We could ascertain the names of but five
of the sufferers. Mrs. Kizer, Charlottesville j.;
Clifton Vermilye, brakeman; John L. Mas
sic, wife and mother, Lynchburg. The wound
ed received medical aid on the spot, and all
brought on as far as Charlottesville, where
those who were badly hurt were taken off the
train, the others coming on to this city.

The genus carpet Dagger is becoming rare
in this section of the South since the election,
and lest the characteristics of the tribe should
be lost to history, we will essay to dcliniate
them for the instruction, if not the benefit of
the future. The genuine carpet-bagger is a
descen6ent in direct line from the Pilgrim
Fathers, who were the original progenitors
Of the migratory tribe. The wandering
gypsies who have infested Europe since the
days Of the Ganls, differ in many respects
from the Yankee carpet Dagger. The former
claim no home, and may be said to be cosmop
olitcs, free to 90 where and do as they please
The Yankee is an adventurer, avoiding the
wild forests and lonely places to settle, for the
time being, among the masses, make money
and instil into the minds of the uncnlighten-
ed the peculiar notions Of his people. The
almighty dollar is always before him, and his
motto is "nake money, honestly IL sou can,
but make it at all events Speculation is
his great object-hs home and home associa-
tions are nothing to him, for 10 youth he had
been taught that to become great was to be-
come rich; mcanness and deceit were imbb-
ell from the maternal breast, and what the
liberal world considers unprincipled he was
taught by his Puritan father to consider hon.
