son of General Asa Rogers. lie died ycster-
day morning, it is said. lie was, compare
lively young man, and has been taken from

was full Of health, and with the promise, ap-
parenty, of long life but much older men,
and much nearer the grave, as to years. live to
mourn their loss, and to lament at his tomb.
With fine natural abilities he possessed the
advantages of education, and culture, and hab-
its of study. Kind and amiable in his DISPOSE
ton, pleasant in his manners, honorable in his
character, he secured the respect and conf
dence of all who knew him. During the late
war he was Il gallant and accomplished soldier
and officer, and entered into the service of his
native State, and continued in it, until the close
of the bloody strife, bearing on his body the
scars of battle received in the contest
wounds from which he neversfnally recovered
To all the relations of life he was most estima-
ble-son husband, citizen. We have rarely
ever recorded with more sorrow the death of a
friend-and we tender to his relatives and con-
uections our sincere sympalhies in their be-
reavement The memory Of the lite and char
actcr of the deceased, however, will remain to
them, to be cherished always.

ATTEMVr TO THROW 4 TRAIN FROM THE
TRACK.-Wc learn that an attempt was made
on Monday night, by two diabolical scouu-
drels to throw the eastern bound passen-
ger train from the track, near Athens Switch,
in Smyth county. Several cross ties were placed
on the track. in such position and in such To-
caity, that had the train struck them it would
have been thrown down high embankment,
and caused great destruction to the lives of
those who were on it, Fortunately, however,
the engineer discovered the obstruction, and
succeeded in stopping the train in time to pre-
vent an accident. 1t was reported here yester-
day that two white men, who were seen near
the place where the ties were found, and who
fed from the spot Just before the arrival of the
cars, We're pursued and captured, and are now
in custody Their names are not reported
