The chairman then introduced the Rev.
J.. Powell GaIlDld, pastor of Manchester
church, who made stirring address to the
representatives of all the schools embraced
in the Society. He reviewed the manner
of conducting tie Sunday-school enter
prise, and argued that large numbers, sys-
tematic instruction, and beautiful singing,
were highly creditable and highly COM
mendable, yet the immediate conversion of
children should constitute the great object
of the schools. He urged the teachers to
make personal appeals to the scholars

TRIAL OF THE FEMALE DUELLIsT.-The
county court (Justice Lewellyn presiding)
commenced on yesterday the trial Of Julia
Ann ellis for the murder OF Ella Woodson
on the 9th of June last. 4 full account
of this homicide was published in the Dis
patch at the time under the title "a Duel
Between Women" No new facts of i'm
potance were elected yesterday.
The two girls we're in love with one man,
and quarrelled about him. Proceeding to a
ravine in the woods, they fought it out with
sticks and fists. Ella was killed, and Julia
confessed to having committed the crime,
but pleaded self-defence.
On the trial yesterday Mr. Bowden ap-
peared for the Commonwealth and George
w. Thomas and ex-governor Wise for the
defence.

NARROW ESCAPE FROM 4 RAILROAD AC-
cIDENT.-On yesterday morning, as the ac-
commodation train of the Petersburg road
was approaching the city, and had gotten
on the bridge over James river, the fifth
and sixth cars ran oft the track, the rear
truck of the fifth and the front truck Of the
sixth cars being thrown across the track on
the bridge about one hundred and fifty
yards from the Manchester side Of the
river. The passenger car, which was in
the rear, and containing about thirty passen-
gers, fortunately stopped just at the point
where the bridge joins the earth. This was
very proTidential, for had the accident oc-
Cured further on the bridge it would have
proven fearfully fatal. 1t seems singularly
neglectful in those who are in charge of the
bridge that they should not preserve the
strictest care in keeping the track approach
ing the bridge in such order that these ac-
cidents should be prevented, and terrible
calamity guarded against.
