A MAN SAWED IN Two-A terrible accident
happened last week ut Mr.. A. Meats saw-mill
at Barry's Landing. A freedman about 20
years old employed at the mill as laborer
was engaged in removing plank that had
just been sawed when one end of the plank
forced him against the saw, which, striking
him below the shoulder, literally sawed the
unfortunate mans body in two. 1t is needless
TO add that the victim of this terrible accident
survived but few momcihts.

they projected. The Langley Manufac-

is mistaken in stating that Langley is
the pioneer manufacturing company in
the South, and that it is remote from
other similar enterprises. Tho Rich

Vaucluse Mills, (which were burned q
few years since,) all near Augusta, and

PARIS, April 25.-Don Carlos, with 8
force of 10000, is said to be across the
Spanish border. It is reported that an
understanding exists between the Re.
publioans and Carlists, to the effect that
the latter will draw the troops into the
open country, and the former will rise
against the Government. Patriotism is
rampant in the Oortes.
PARIS, April 26.-The situation in
Spain has become very serious. The
Government has resolved to adopt most
rigorous meaps to suppress the insur.
rection. Nothing is certainly known oi
the whereabouts of Don Carlos.
MADRID, April 26.-There has been q
vast increase in the number of Carlist
bands throughout the kingdom. $4,000
persons are now engaged in tho insur.
rection. proclamation has been issued
declaring many places in state of siege.
The Government refuses to furnish the
press any information relative either to
its or the Carlists' movements. There is
great demand from the provinces where
the Carlists are most active for troops.
Marshal Serrano, with 5000 troops, has
gone to Navarro. His presence, at the
head OF this force, has checked the ope-
rations OF the Oarlsts in that department.
Marshal jerrano will be appointed Gen
eral of forces operating against the in
surreotionists. Marshal Coucha will
also be given high command. It is be-
lieved the future of Spain now depends
on the course of the radicals; and that if
they cooperate with the partisans of
Don Carlos, the revolution will be suo-
cessful.
LONDON. April 26.-The Atalanta boat
club crew wore entertained at dinner in

quently escorted their guests to the cars,

Large crowds of persona gathered at the
stations between Liverpool and Putney
as the train passed, and by salutcs and

OF their desire to accord the strangers o

THE LATE NEGRO CONVENTION AT New
ORLEANs.-The Hsrnld's New Orleans
correspondent closes his account of the
late negro equality convention in that
city, as follows:
Upon the whole it has not been a poll
ticai success. 1t effectualIy demonstrates
the existence OF growing differences in
the negro ranks, which, in time, must
ripcn; but it proves ono fact fully and
tinaily-that all idea OF politics possess
ed by the negro begins, centres and
ends in tho doctrine of social equality
Such is not only the lesson taught by the
convention, but is the confession of all
tho more intelligent members with
whom, during tho session. have con-
versod upon this point; they are just rs
subject to local and personal influences
as the whites.
