Lamentable Accident. A train of fifteen cars, containing 550 negroes from Mississippi, be longing to General Wade. Hampton, C. F. Hamp ton, Esq., and J. M. Howell, Esq., left Augusta on Saturday evening, 30th ulL When nearLowry's Turn-out. two of the cars.became disconnected and were left behind. Before the fact was . discovered, about 11 o'clock p. in., they were run into by (he down passenger train, which was following. Du ring the-collision, the cars were fearfully crushed and twelve negroes killed several having been scalded to death by the, hot steam irom the broken engine. We learn from the manager that by ex traordinary exertions, and through many serious difficulties, these negroes xere saved from the thieving Yankees, who wereTaying waste and rob bing the country of every thing they could where ever they went. The dastardly wretches wexe robbing the negroes of their clothing, and sven the hats they wore.

Columbia Carolinian. . True SruNK. A Northern paper says: M. F. Con wdy, the Republican member of Congress from Kansas, as is well known, at the late session came out for peace on the basis of. separation between the North and the South. Thereupon he received resolutions passed by the Legislature of that State, strongly condemnatory of his course in the House. Mr Conway returned the resolutions to the Secre tary of State, with the expression of his "most profound contempt," and closed his letter by say ing . w I shall ask Ihe Deoule in their next election to sav whether I am a traitor.or not. and in the meantime I spit upon the resolutions." Whipped by Women. A correspondent in forms us that a few' days since, in Lee county, Va , nearhe Tennessee line, a tory, who had slandered the widow of a deceased Confederate soldier, was tied up by some half a dozen indignant women, and received twenty stripes. The women who administered this 'wholesome admonition were sol diers wives and widows. -Knoxville Register. Good Sense.

INCIDENTS OP THE "WAR. The Richmond correspondent. of the Charleston Iurcury tells the following as occurring at the late Fredericksburg battle: , - "Some affecting incidents are told. One illus- f rates the nainless nature of wounds in the'head. A soldier returned from the field after the battle was over and found a comrade seated by the camp fir. tTe asked him if he 'was hurt:' ' "No " was the reply, "but I have had a bead ache." The words were scarcely uttered before, he fell dead., His brains were oozing while he spoke, yet he knew not that he was wounded. ' "Another poor man at the close of.the fight tried to write a letter in pencil to his mother. He told her what great perils he had passed through, that the enemy was in full retreat, and described himself as he sat on the hill side writing. "I thank God,"-he added; and just then his hand was blown away" by a shell. The blood stained letter, as it fell by his side, was found and sent to his mother. What must have been her emotions when she saw and rad it!" , A correspondent of the Charleston Courier writes of Morgan's last raid: "As in all other battles, however, we are called upon U mourn some of our bravest and best men. The instances of individual heroism and courage were numerous. In one instance a shell-struck a Serjeant McDaniel on the leg, crushing and man- elin it so terribly that he died a few hours' after. As the General rode by him, he called out: "How at& vou. General;" and as the General turned around, 6aid be, "don't mind me, I am past ciire;" andoalling to some comrades who were near, said "here are some few cartridges, you will need them." These were about the last ' word spoken by the poor fellow. Another-poor fellov, who was shot t ..ii. o ; t l ihrough the intestines, as the.Surgeon approached oiiwv, . mm cuw. him, said: "Doctor, don't min ad me; my wound is ' I fatal, co to those whom you can assist." Another .brave spirit who perished was a youth, by the name of Buford, f'wm Crab .Orchard, ivy., who cheerfully remarked as he entered the fight, "Boys leel happy, I tread oncc more :ny native soil. What a history could be mado if only a tittle of such noble .daring and gallantry were pn Alas, opon every battle field how many such epir its sink to rest, to be awakened, lo more until ?;,V.: mi i- L ;An mhr.n Ain-An a f. geon remarked tome, "Yes, but a short tiuie:" .

Our line of battle was some two miles lona, the musketry and artillery was terrific: one coutinual sljeet of fire from one end of I . , ' .1 n .... .. i me une to. me omer, ine roar oi artillery tne 1 screaming and bursting of shell made the earth almost rock under our feet. We had driven the enemy back upon their strong fortification. Tho fight raged more or less until midnight, when it ceased for a short period. About .one o'clock Sunday morning, our brigade Ken. Lane's) was charged by four lines of battle; we waited until they came close to us when we turned loose upon them with terrible destruction, which soon drove I them' back. We cantured several nrisonen. and k r one stand of beautiful colors was captured by company E; this ended the night fighting. It is proper here to say to the credit of Lieut. Col. Speer, ihat he was wounded hero on the -knee aud had to leave the held, lie had been very con spicuous jn cheering on the men during all the hght. and acted very bravely and gallantly. He a gallant man. By suo up Sunday morninir out forces being all posted in position, the fight was renewed with doubled vigor. The scene was terrific, it seemed as if heaven and earth -were coming together. Division after division charged . a m-r i ' . . 1 m i tne y an see catteries, and axter several uours oi hard fighting we drove them from their position. I will not try t describe the scenes of horror which followed, nor of destruction which beggars all description; no. man can picture the deeds of daring and the valor of our men. Such fighting never has been done by any set of men. 1 bis was the bloodiest day of the' war. In honor to the 28th, it might be proper to say that it made two distinct jcharges more than the balance of the brigade made, as it bad not suffered as much in the other charges . as the rest of the regiments of the brigade.' The hardest 'of the fighting ceased about 12 or. 1 o'clock Sunday; there was, however, much artillery and picket fighting all day and night, which was kept up all J Mnd ;nd Monday ght, Tu-"csda- niht when thJe yankw jr in, inesaay anu kces crossed the river. - - I can dot do the officers of the 28th regiment ample justice, as I lack the language to descSbe tbeir deeds of bravery, as well as all the officers of Lane s brigade. Our brave and- gallant Genera Lane was all the time at our head in .the thickest of the fight, delivering his orders in his cool and peculiar style, greatly to the admiration of his command.

Mti Editor: I am" fifty .three years of age. For the first time in my life, I hate dropped my plow handles, to communicate with tho public through the Press. I have been much, distressed by the. cries of want on account: of the high prices ef the necessaries of life, and I think I hare discovered a remedy for much of the . ctiI a remedy winch will certainly bring relief to the mind of many, and as certainly provide the means to keep grim want and famine from the doors of those who are loudest and most bitter in their complaints of hard . times. In my jouruoys Ihrough the country, I fiod many idlers and loafers who do nothing, an. parently, but wander about from country to vill age, and village to country, 'curaing their hard Iuck, and filling the ears of all who will listen to them, with tales ot want, and wo, and famine, and. distress, and' prophesying all sorts of evil f rom all torts of ouarters whose tongues speak evil and nothing but evil, and that continually. Throughout our county and State, these idlers are numeroustheir name, is legion. Thoy rcprc . fen aM sorts of trades and professions, and are doing incalculable mischief by their loud and fab ulous stories and exaggerations. New, Mr Kdiwt, my remedy ia-lct all these idlers go iato the fields and cultivate the earth raise corn, potatoes, peas,', anything and everything that the earth will pro duce thus wilj they find employment for mind and bodythus will they find food for the nisei aes and others-thus will thry make themselves use ful at home, and thus wil they aidfrn acquiring that indepandeaee 'for which they arc either uii; nble or unwijling to fight. K' La.ni' Cdkck. ft mm . Suicide. A Frenchman reecntly committed suicide by stabbing himself, at the Metropolitan Hotei, New York. He left a will with curious directions: . I hereby bequeath my body to my talented. 'and some day or other illustrious, Dr, F. Dunkirk Weissc, of No, 30 West Fifteenth street, New York, requesting him. to set up my skeleton nice ly, and to place it somewhere in his office. The best means I could suggest to effect it properly are tho following: To take tho flesh ' off the bones with a knife as much as possible: to cut a small piece of the skull with a trepan,' and pull the brain out; to pierce holes io the shaft of every long bone witn a gimlet, so as to let the 'marrow out, which will greatly improve the whiteness; te let it macerate io water a long while, till all soft and carfjlsginous parts come off easily, and let it perfectly dry; then to soak it io a solution of roag.. aesis, (or a lait ds clause an when dry to rub it well and paint it over with sillieate of potash. .and ultimately to set it up with wire.' I will con- sider the fulfillment of the above request as asje cial favor. It will bis so nice to see one's old dwelling place kept so clean and in good order, instead of rotting away in some dirty place. How bandy, too, when we are all summoned to the' Val ley of Jehosaphat, to find one's bones all ready to gether, instead of having to struggle among a crowu, anu pica mem up one oy one in some charnel-house. Should my learned friend fail to . comply . with' roy request, I vill certainly come back and pull his hair out by the roots, provided that they giveme a furlough. Atfd now with my love to.K , good-bye. . O pUiot an rewir. 'RD310ND BARON. Mat. 1863. RrjRT m Wheat. It has boon long kuowa. sod the idea acted oil among the Spenisb agricul turalists in Texssand Mexico, that the rust in wheat is produced by showers of besvy dews fol- j lowed bya hot sun, during that . period of vegets- ! , tioo when the wheat is in bloom and milk. The effect of the aejn upon the wet plsnt produces the j rust. To svoid this result, two auen case a heavy j rone, twenty or thirty feet long, or longer, sod i walking at that distance apart, draw it over the . m m w w m . a . wet craio. thereby soaking on tne drops ot ram or dew. and thus prtrent the usual effect of the sun upon the plant. Altera beavy dew tne rope should bedrawo over the whest early in the morning. Wheat ' planted on bills, or windy .potions, generally es S capes rust; while io low sat ground, where there is less wind, the rust takes effect.
