continued to furnish Richmond and

CINCINNATI.
The Late Railroad Accident.

CINCINNATI, February 24-None OF
the wounded in the railroad accident
have died and, with the exception of
the baggage man, it is not probable
that any will. 1t is reported on good
authority that there are strong reasons
to believe that the bridge was tampered
with. The conductor, against whom
some unknown persons have spite. has
received letters threatening to do him
injury. A heavy freight and passenger
train passed over the bridge short
time previous to the accident A
searching investigation into the cause
OF the accident has already begun. The
railroad company has done everything
possible for the comfort ofthe wounded,
giving them choice of where they
should be taken and assuming all ex-
penses. 1t is also only fair to say tn at
the officers OF the road gave every as.
sstance in their power to the reporter
in procuring the facts telegraphed last
night.
Fatal Accident.
CINClNNATI, February 2i.--This
afternoon John Mcdonald, a freight
conductor on the Little Miami railroad,
while uncoupling cars at the Little
Miami depot, slipped on a wet rail and
fell between the cars. One wheel

over the upper part Of his head. He

Bcaurcgnrd on the Conduct m the
WAR

In a recent number OF a Southern
magazine General Deauregard com
ments upon the scige OF Charleston and
Grants last Nir.iria campaign. In
rernrd to the attack of the monitors
upon Fort Sumter, he is evidently of
the opinion that it failed chiefly
because il was undertaken in the day
time instead Of at night.
I'VE had great doubts az 10 the mPend,
ING result, and | was always OF the
unqualified opinion that, If the enemy
iron clad fleet made night attack
against Fort Sumter by coming within
sufficiently c'O-e range TO zee the i"rt,
which was large and elevated otJect'
and yet not be seen from the tort, the
latter would certainly be SIlenced or
DESTROYED in the course OF ie" nights
without serious injury to the monitors,
and the channel tp Charleston and
harbor would have been opened 10

torpedoes placed at their entrance.

The Constitutional convention.
CHARLESTON, February "a.
In the committee Of the Whole to-
day, the Constitutional Convention
completed their deliberations upon the
report OF the committee on the Legisia-
tive Department OF the State Govern
ment. They retain the section which
disqualifies attorneys and saIaried
officers of railroads in the State as
members Of the Legislature, but striking
out the disqualification of ministers Of
the Gospel. An oath is required in
addition to the usual form from mem
bers that they have not accepted, nor
will accept, directly or indirectly, any
money or otaer valuable things from
any corporation, company or persons
tor any vote or influence given or with
held for any official act Charleston is
made the. seat of government until
changed by law. The clause providing
for the duties of Lieutenant Governor
was, by large majority vote, stii ken
out, with the almost certain result Of
making void the office in the new Con-
stitution. The notorious acts Of Muel.
Ter, the Lieutenant Governor Of Ohio,
during his incumbency, were freely
referred to, and did much to cause the
feeling had and conclusions arrived at.
The Legislature
is Fastening matters preparatory to its
adjournment next Thursday. The
House Of Delegates are holding night
sessions, and have passed a bill in
relation TO the completion of the water
line from Richmond to the Ohio river,
which is in union with a recent act
passed by the Legislature OF Virginia.
