The Excursion of the Augusta Female Semina-

was great success. Capt Woodward was very
attentive and careful of his precious freight, the
Messrs. Peyton aad their assis ants most kind
and accommodating and the young ladies en-
joye1 themselve in the extreme. Several gentle
men, (our Special, who didn't go, says they were
Elders,) accompanied the party and ex-Gov.
John Letcher was taken aboard and travelled
with the party some distance, rendering in pay
ment ten times the fare. Our Special says he
don't understand this, and is now on the hunt
for Capt. Woodward to know if Gov. Letcher is
an Elder, Of how long standing and if he was in
when all the Elders were declared aboard al

to what he would have paid. We fear the con.
sequences when he meets Capt. W for he is act
ing as queerly as Tobson.

An alarm Of fro was raised this

miner named Dennis Fender. BY the
time the nearest nelghbor could reach
the scene the cabin was In ashes. At
ter the smoke cleared away, tho
charred remains Of Fender were found
in the ashes Of his cabin. His body
was so much consumed rs to give rise
to the belief that spontaneous combus-
ton assisted In the process. He was
very dissipated, and known to have
been drunk the evening before. He
lived alone, and was an old resident OF
