The disturbances in Petersburg on the dag
of election, which the Radical newspapers
blazoned forth as attempts to decrease the
negro votes by shooting down the voters, re:
suited 10 the wounding of one colored man by
q rock thrown at him BY an unknown party.
The Post of that city says: "Such occurrences
we're unnecessary and improper, and originated
in the too free use Of mean whiskey, iusolent
negroes and indiscreet young men. Sworn
officers Of the law and respectable white men
do not care to be placed under the impudeDt
surveillance of coarse negroes specially deputcd
by carpet baggers to do what they are afraid
to do themselves, and unnecessary to be DONE "

How a Spire Fell.

The Worcester Spy says: The destruc-
ton OF the tower and spire of the Cnivey-
salist Church at Webster by the gale of
Wednesday was very remarkable occur.
renee from the fact thar, though surrounded
by buildings in the direction iu which the
danger seemed to threaten, no damage was
done to any building save the church. The
tower, which projected beyond the front
line of the church proper. was situated
some twenty five feet from the street, and
contained vestibule on the first floor and
an organ alcOve on the second, and was
surmounted by well proportional ocra-
gOnal spire, the whole rising to the height of
l20 feet from the ground A fne.toned
bell, weighing, with it's appurtenances.
about 40 pounds. occupied the belfry.
About noon the spire was observed to
sway visibly in the furious gale, and
an examination revealed the fact that
the tower had separated from the main
building, opening gap of several inches.
The occupants of the houses opposite and
on the south side of the church were warned
Of the impending danger, and vacated their
premises. The swaying of the steeple now
increased, the vibrations tolling the bell
occasionally, until about two O'Clock the
whele superstructure inclined slowly to the
eastward with splitting. rending sound
falling unbroken till it reached an angle Of
forty hve degrees, when the timbers on the
south sl9e gave way, DETECTING it's fal! to
the south, and the mass of timber came to
the ground with an indescribable crash, the
upper part falling up School street, so that
the mass OF ruin described nearly q right
angle. The bell. which was thrown up the
street about sixty feet, was uninjured. The
structure was reduced to kjndlino vood
Not even pane of glass was broken in any
OF the surrounding buildings'
