A NOTEWORTHY FAor.

1t is most significant and nOtewor-
thy fact, that, 80 far as we have been
able to learn, not single city negro took
any part in the invasion of Nicksburg
yesterday! The poor devils who came
here at the instigatiOn of Governor
Ames, to lay waste this fair city, and
slaughter its citizens, were all ignorant
field hands from the country. The ne
groes residing here remained quietly at
their homes, or engaged in their usual
daily avocations.

STREET ACCIDENTS. Tuesday morn
ing, as Mrs. Elizabeth White and her
niece, Miss Dawson, were walking along
that portion Of New Court House street
near the Valley Depot, a runaway team
dashed into the street from the Waynes-
boro' road, and before they could get out
of the way, knocked down and ran over
both of them. Remarkable to say, though
both wagon and horses passed over them,
they only received few bruises, and no
bones were broken. On the same day a
runaway team flying down Augusta street
was making straight for the forty foot
chasm at the arch, when one of the horses
got entangled in guy rope used by the
bridge builders, and thrown to the ground,
stopping the vehicle. A few feet more,
and horses and wagon would have been
precipitated forty feet upon the stone
masons at the bottom of the chasm.

they found, forty feet below the surface OF

excitement among the savans, some con-
Guiding that it must have been the re-
mains of mule brought over by the late
Christopher Columbus, and others bring
ing much evidence to show that it was
what was left of Balaam's ass. The I'M
learned contended that it was the head OF
a mule washed down in the flood Of 1870,
which ignorant and uninteresting theory,
we regret to say, prevailed.
