misunderstanding fifty cars loaded with
wheat arrived at the Danyille depot here.
OF this number thirty came from South
western Virginia, and twenty from the line
Of the DanYille road. A large quantity of
wheat will arrive this week, we learn, from
East Tennessee ui0 Virginia and Tcnncs-
see Airline" The crop is larger in the
region named than it has been for many
wears. This being the best wheat market
IN the United States, and freight being low,
Richmond may reasonably expect the bulk
of the entire crop from the Southwest.

BOILER ExPLos1oN.-The boiler of Perduc
Il JoncS's saw-mil, situated on Fruit Hill
farm, five miles from Chester, exploded yes
tcrday morning about 8 O'Clock, wounding
the fireman, Richard Boyd (colored), and
severely stunning Mr.. Emmett Jones. DIR.
Ingram, of Chester, was instantly called i'll,
but could render no aid to the wounded
man, who soon died. The engine is u COM
plete wreck. The loss is quite heavy on the
owners, who are spirited men and very de-
serving. The cause of the accident is attri-
butcd to low water. The boiler and engine
was built by Kahl & Rahm, of Richmond,
about five wears since.

Hillsboro some time ago, between the
friends of John A. Smith and Col. Lou

made speech, commencing as follows:

office. He eulogized the character of
Col. Louden, and said he deeply regret

to-day. Col. Louden would get up in
the night and burn his shirt to make a
light to oblige his friends. He could
give the lie to all the petty puppies that
have been slandering him for the last
two weeks. Those who say here at
Hillsboro that Col. Louden is in the
habit of getting drunk, lie, and some of
them know that they lie. (Applause.)
But suppose he does get drunk occa-
sionalIy. A man who. is drunk may get
over it; but natural id fool never
RECEIVERS. loud cheers.) Col. Louden
would be better man drunk than a
cart load Of the intellectual eunuchs that
have been slandering him, sober.
