ling in the south for few weeks with a view
of improving his condition, and last night at
81 O'Clock they took passage at Petersburg
On the train for this city, and securing sleep
ing berths retired for the night. Mr.. Nye was
seen to 0ivest himself of his coat, hat, and
shoes and then retire. and his attendants
were in no ways alarmed for he appeared TO
be very quiet and his mind comparatively
clear. On the arrival OF the train at the Bal
timore and Potomac depot in this city at
BIB O'Clock this morning they commenced
preparations TO debark, and going to Mr..
Nye's berth could find
NO TRACE OF HIM

ately joined in the search for the missing
man, which was unsuccessful. and the au-
thorities OF the road telegraphed along the line

supposed by some that Mr.. Nye might have
been somewhere on il, and Conductor Ham

mistake, and that he may have slipped
from the train during its stOppage at Rich

the woods. The railroad authorities are
doing all in their power to find some trace OF
him, as also the detective officers and doubt
