The STORM AND THE SHIPPING. The severe
easterly storm yesterday, drew a great fieetof
coasters into the harbor, and from Union wharf
to the Cape lights was a solid forest of masts,
thro' which no craft was able to pass. Vessels
couldn't get through the jam and SO had to
anchor far out into Hog Island roads and the
ship channel There were near five hundred
craft in for a harbor yesterday afternoon.
Despite the severity of the storm there were
few disasters. The eastern schooner "Star-
light" in ballast, anchored off Websters Cove
yesterday morning, and from there drifted in,
dragging her anchors. The U. S. Steamer
myrtle" Capt. Foster, went cut to assist her
and towed her to safe anchorage.
The schooner "Rienzi," Capt. Parks, from
Thomaston, loaded with lime, was run into by
two strange vessels yesterday. By the first col
lision she lost an anchor; and by the second.
which occurred off Spring Point buoy, she lost
her rudder and sails. Capt. Parks was struck
and thrown back on the wheel. He received
severe injuries, three of his ribs being broken
and some internal organs injured. He was
sent to his home in Rockland yesterday after
noon. A tug was. sent out with an anchor, &C.,
and the vessel is now safe from further harm.
She was owned in part by Mr.. John Dennis of
this city.
Various rumors of disasters were current
during the day, which had no foundation in
fact. Capt. Oliver of the steamer Express"
reports the shipping as all safe. The Myrtle
still remains in the roads to assist any vessel
that needs it.

"cvil service reform
FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH.
Sermon by Rev. DR.. Smaller The Doctor
took his text from I'd Cronicles 80: 30.
He commenced by referring to our estimate
of prominent characters as revealed in ancient
history. At first glance they appear fair and
unblemshed, bvt upon a critical examination
we discover defects just as through the micro
scope, we discover spots on the sun.
In this world temptations to sin are many.
Hezekiah, though sinful man, had power
with God. God, in answer to his prayer, added
of the Lord strengthened the King in his bat
ties and giving him success. Yet the King was
not without his faults. He lacked gratitude to-
wards God; he was lifted up with pride; and he
rendered not according to the benefit done unto
him: God was displeased, and wrath came up
on Hezekiah, Juda and Jerusalem. The speak
er proceeded to draw from this history thoughts
for the hour He said you are, most of you,
descended from the Pilgrims; you have grown
up under the institutions which they
founded; the observances they established. We
hold these with reverential regard. The Dr.
then went on to show that Thanksgiving SER
vice sprang from these Pilgrims. Though the
day has lost somewhat of the strictness of its
religious observances yet it is still held in rev.
erence by u.s. Under Puritanic laws all labor
was forbidden ON this day. My subject is en-
braced in the words, Rendered not again ac-
cording to the benefit done unto him" and I
shall submit to you few distinctive PROPOSE
TONS
First. We have all received innumerable BEN
efts from God.
The individual mentioned in the text is but
type of mankind. There are also peculiar ben
efits received by individuals. These benefits
are both temporal and spiritual They are all
bounteous, God never deals in stinted measure.
What blessings you possess. You live in an
enIightened age; in great nation; in an intel
lect,1al community You are blessed with free
dom; good laws and by no means least, your
religious privileges are unsurpassed. Peace,
knowledge, civilliberty, and religion! Are you

Railroad Enfernrise.

Gen. WINSTON of the St. Louis and South
eastern Railroad, has been negotiating for
the purchase of the GAINESVILLE and Prince
ton Railroad. The Directors of the Clarks-
vile and Princeton Road, we are informed,
have consented to accept Gen. Winston's
proposition, which is to surrender the char
ter to him, and raise 100000 to build the
road from Princeton to Nashville, provided
he will raise S2,500,O00 in addi-
ton TO the first named sum, 100000 be-
ing the estimated amount necessary 10
build a road from ShawneetOn TO this city.
Gen. Winston says he can raise the amount
on the condition of giving up to him the
charter, and will send an engineer to com
mence the survey from GAINESVILLE along
the Cumberland to this city. Should the
present enterprise prove acceptable to the
directors of the Princeton and Clarks-
vile road, the benefits both to
Nashville and GAINESVILLE will be of great
commercial importance and confer many
facilities for manufacturing purposes, so
badly needed and so little encouraged by
capital stimulants. That it will be of the
greatest advantage to ChaTksville We hope
is a fact so patent as to require no argu
ment. A road-bed on the Ohio,
opposite Shawneetown, has been
graded through Union county Ken
lucky eighteen miles. This road was in
tended to run through Union and the
southwest part of Webster county to Mad
isonville, in Hopkins county. The line of
this road between jacksonville is not di-
rect to the pOiut in Union county on the
Ohio. A much nearer and more direct line
could have been made to ShawneetOwn from
MadiSonville by leaving the Evansville,
Henderson and Nashville road either at
Bailey's station, almost on the line of Web
ster and Hopkins counties, or at Slaugh-
tersville, III the former county. The de-
Election, however, from ShawneetOwn down
through Union, across the Southwestern
part Of Webster county, was made
in order to avoid a rough
er section and less profitable region
of country higher up and which is on
direct line from Madisonvilie to Shawnee
town. a road built from Shawneetown
direct would have the advantage of the
eighteen miles already graded. Such line
would either run through the northeastern
part-for few miles-of Crittenden county,
after leaving Caldwell and before hitting the
graded road, or it could by slight curve be
run to the road bed at point in Webster
county, half way between the county lines
of Union and Hopkins. A petition has
been filed in the Chancery Court al Clarks-
vile for charter of a railroad to run from
GAINESVILLE through Montgomery, Cheatham
and Davidson counties to Nashville. This
Of course, is included in the disposition of
the above road.

FATAL Accident.

At 0 A. NJ. yesterday, NJ. P. Chowning, a
carpenter residing in Edgefeld, near Meier
rims Chapel, was run over by an engine on
the Louisville and Nashville Railroad. The
deceased was walking to Nashville along
the line of the Edgefield and Kentucky
Railroad. When about twenty-five or
thirty yards east of the bridge across the
White creek pike, he saw a train approach
ing and stepped on the Louisville and Nash
vile road, which at that point runs close to
the Edgefeld and Kentucky line. The
wind was blowing a perfect gale at the
time, and drowned the noise Of a
construction engine which was back
ing to the city on the Louisville
and Nashville road Just as Ne. Chown-
ing stepped on the track, the tender
struck him and carried him about twenty
five yards to the bridge where be dropped
through to the pike below. When picked
up he gasped couple of times and expired.
His body was terribly mangled. The legs,
arms and back We're broken, the whole
body was livid from bruises so that it was
impossible to say where the first blow struck,
and his forehead was terribly gsshed. An
inquest was held by Coroner Everett, and a
verdict was returned in accordance with the
fact. The moment before the accident occur
red the engineer of the construction engine
had looked behind to see that the track was
clear. At that time there was 20 obstruc-
ton and no person on it. He had scarcely
turned to manage his engine when Mr..
ChOwning stepped on the track and was
killed. The deceased was So years of age,
and leaves a wife and family. He was an
old resident of Edgeield, and has ever been
regarded as an industrious and useful citi-
zen, and well liked throughout his neigh
borhOod, where he was known. The fune-
raj of Mr.. Chowning will take place at p.
NJ. to-day.

nreadfmr Accident.

One of the mos. distressing accidents we
have ever recorded for a long time occurred
Monday night on the MuTfreesboro pike
about six miles from this city. A female
named Jennie Brown, while crossing the
road, was run over by a wagon and her
body so terribly mangled as to cause death
in few minutes. The screams of the vic
tim were wild and piercing, and yet the
driver did not seem to be at all alarmed.
At the time Of the accident the horses were
going at a rapid rate, and no effort was
made by the driver, who is a
colored man, to check the horses,
which, striking the unfortunate being
with such force, knocked her TO the ground,
one wheel passed over the head, crushing
it to Jelly, aud the hind wheel over the
breast breaking the bones and producing
hemorhage. Two gentlemen standing by
the road tried to rescue her, but were not
quick enough to prevent the fatal occur
renee. She was placed on mattress but
died before being removed. A gentleman
who was three or four hundred yards dis
tant. heard the screams and fastened
t. the spot where lay the fast
sinking victim of mans accursed careless
ness. When the driver realized the reck-
less murder he had committed, the con-
seriousness Of the fiendish deed seemed to
afford him pleasure, for he Immediately
urged his already swiftly moving team to a
faster speed, and was heard to make some
ieering remarks in relation to the unfortu-
nate, but to him highly amusing event.
Jennie Brown was an orphan, and lived
with kind family. She had been TO
neighbours, and at the time was returning
home. Nothing has been heard of the dri-
yer and team since. Such acts as this one
in civilized community, are revolving to
humanity aud a disgrace to society. The
murderous cruelty, malicious disregard for
life aud wretched depravity Of soul on the
part of wrong doers, can alone offer reason
shameful and infamous though it be, for the
turpitude and revolving acts as the one we
have been called upon TO give our readers.
Society sickens under its loathsome reality
and the light Of brilliant civilization be-
comes only the reflection of a sinful cor
rupt.on. This is q case of constitutional
Ku-Kluxism inasmuch as the criminal is
one of the most beautiful of the nations
wards, veritable object of Radicalism's
political benevolenoe.

EOTrCE TO SUBSCRIBERS.

By our present mode of direction,
each one Of our subscribers can tell
the time to which he has paid for the
UNION AND AMERICAN: for instance,
"a. B., Jan. II, '72," shows that A.
D. has paid to Jan. II, 1872. Our
terms are invariably cash in ad-
vance. Hitherto we have not been
able to make this rule invariable. Hence
forth each subscriber will know for him
self when his time expires. If he wishes
the paper renewed, we will take it as a
favor to have it continued. To save
trouble and postage to him and to us,
we announce that we will consider
those who do not renew their subscrip-
ton as desiring to have the paper dis
continued. We shall certainly regret
this, and sincerely hope that our sub
scribers may each and every one renew
their subscription, and still continue to
patronize that "old reliable" the Peoples

SAVINGS FOR OLD AGE.

No one denies that it is wise to make pro-
vision for old age, but We are not at all
agreed as to the kind of provision it Is best
to lay in. Certainly we shall want a little
money, for destitute old man is indeed a
sight; yes, save money by all means. But
an old man needs just that particular kind
of strength which young men are apt to
waste. Many foolish young fellow will
throw away on holiday a certain amount
of nervous energy which he will never feel
the want of until he is seventy, and then how
much he will want it, 1t is curious, but
true, that bottle Of champagne at twenty
viii intensity the rheumatism at three
score. 1t is fact that everlasting the eyes
at fourteen may neeessitate the aid Of
spectacles at forty instead Of sixty. We ad-
wise our young readers to be saving Of health
for their old age, for the maxim holds good
In regard to health as to money-''Waste
rot, want not" 1t is the greatest mistake
TO suppose that violation Of the laws Of
health can escape its penalty. Nature for
gives no sin, no error; she lets of the offender
for fifty years sometimes, but she catches
him at last, and inhicts the punishment
just when, just where, and just how be feels
it most. Save up for old age, but save
knowledge: save the recollection Of good and
noble deeds, innocent pleasures, and pure
thoughts; save friends; save love. Save rich
stores of that kind Of wealth which time
cannot diminish nor death take away.
