The Late EpMenlr The Norfolk Herald gives the following in teresting facts relative to the progress of tbe late epidemic that so sadly afflicted that' city: Terrible as the late epidemic was in its death dealing visitations in some instances nearly sweeping off whole families, there were a few cases in. which it showed comparative clemency; among which 'we notice the following: The fejl destroyer entered the Female Orphan Asly Inm, and attacked the estimable "Matron," Miss Catharine Redman, and twentv out of twenty-one of the orphans nndcr her charge. Miss Redman died; but all the children recov ered, ttiousrh several had "black vomit." It is remarkable that five physicians, who in turn attended the children, were successively at tacked by the fever. Every member of Mr James Smiley's family, exceDt himself sixteen in number, had the fe ver, and only one died his eldest daughter, Miss Margaret, aged 22 years. Air Asaph Wales and all of his family re mained in tbe city during the epidemic; and not a solitary case of the disease occurred amon them durine the whole ueriod. This is the only instance that has come to our knowledge of the total exemption of an entire family (ten in number we believe) from the fatal scourge We might add other instances of the for bearance of the pestilence which have been re lated to us; but refrain from doing so least we might state them inaccurately. Our own case may be taken in the same category. Jn our own immediate family of seven adults and one child, we had only two cases of the fever; the first, a female domestic of 16, was very mild; the second, a little grand-son, in his 6th year. was very severe, with black vomit. The latter with three other rases, not of our immediate family, (though near and dear to it,) aud which cannot be said to have orisrmnted within onr own domicil. were successfully treated by Dr Wm. J. Moore, and all recovered. But whatsoever favor the Yellow Scourge may have shown in some particular instances, it is certain that it was no respecter of physical organizations; the strong and the weak, the temperate and the intemperate every age, sex, complexion, and condition, were attacked with out discrimination. Nay, it seemed to make the surest aud shortest work of those whose constitutions were supposed to be the best forti fied against its assaults despatching them in four, three, aud sometimes in two days; while its weaker and apparently more vulnerable subjects were permitted to linger for a week or more, and often to recover. This seeming antagonism of the epidemic to the strong; and healthy, was particularly manifested in the cases of our lamented fellow citizens, Win. D. Delany and Wilson B. Sorey both were in the prime of life, strictly temperate and regular habits, well balanced minds and even tempers, and rejoicing in the good gifts of health, strength, and fine manly features and propor tions. Neither survived the attack of the dis ease beyond the third day. Then there was Dr. Caprie, from New York, whose case has already been referred to in our paper, as pre senting high claims to the grateful remembrance of this community who was the very imper sonation of health and a splendid specimen of humanity. He was attacked by the fever in four days after his arrival, and in four more was a corpse! Dr. C. was a native of Hunga ry, and came to this country in the suite of Gov. Kossuth. Tbe AecMeat oa tkm i PacM BaaraadFrltfcUW The editor of the St. Lonis News, who was on the excursion train on the Pacific Railroad, in which so many were hnrried into eternity without a moment's warning, says: - v.v -:- We slowly moved along the embankment, and came on the bridge. The locomotive had passed the first pillar beyond the abutment there being then resting on the first span the locomotive, baggage car and two heavily loaded passenjrer cars. The weight was too much for the long, slender timbers which supported me rails and the enormous load above, buddenly we heard horrid crash it rings in our ears now and saw a movement amongst those in the car in which we were seated; then there came crash crash crash as each car came to the abutment, and took the fatal plunge. The affair was but the work of an instant. We were runiiinsr slowly at the time, and the suc cessive crashes came on at intervals of nearly a second. We ourselves were seated in the seventh car there being three behind us and when we heard the horrid sonnd tha- came np, as each car slowly and deliberately took the lean, we honed that our car mifiht stop before it reached the precipice. But no; it seemed that the spirit of ruin was beneath, determined ly dragging each car to the spot, wrenching 11 from its fastenings and hurling it to atoms beneath. Six cars fell in one mass, each on the other, and were shivered into fragments The seventh fell with its forward end to the cround; but the other end rested on the top of the abutment. Those in it were only bruised. The eighth and ninth cars fell down the em bankment before they reached the abutment. Such a wreck we never saw, and hope never again to see. It was one nudistinguishable mass of wooden beams, seats, iron wheels and rods, from beneath which came up groans of agony. Those who could crawled out of the mm immediately, and either sought to relieve their own wounds or the wounds of their friends. Some wept tears of joy to find their friends alive; and others shuddered to find their frinds dead. The uninjured organized themselves under the lead of Mr Pride, the conductor, and endeavored, by chopping, to extricate those who were yet alive from the wreck. Here a - . . broken arm; ' O Interetfia larratlret Professor florae, the author of the magnetic telegraph, delivered a speech at St. John's recently, ia which he gave an interesting reminiscence of his early telegraph troobles. The trill for establishing a line he -says, was before Congress, had passed the Honse, and was on the calendar of the Senate, but the evening of the last day had commenced with more than one hundred bills to be considered before mine could be reached. W earied with anxiety of suspense. I consulted with one of my - - - ' . . m . , 1 I senatorial fr ends: he thonsnt me cnance 01 reaching it so small that he advised me to consider it as lost. In a state I must leave yon to mairine. I returned to my lodgings to make my preparations for returning home the next day. My funds were rednced to a fraction of a dollar. In the morninsr. as 1 was aoout to sit down to breakfast, the servant announced that a young lady desired to see me in the parlor. It was the daughter of my excellent friend and colleague classmate, the Commission er of Patents. She called, she said, by her father's permission, and the exuberance of her own joy, to announce the passage of the telesrranh bill at midnight, but the moment before the Senate's adjournment. This was the turning point of the telegrapli invention in America. As an appropriate acknowledgement for her sympathy and kind ness a sympathy which only a woman can feel and express I promised that the first despatch by the line of telegraph from Washington to Baltimore, should he indited by her. lo which she replied: "I shall hold you to your word." In about a year from that time the line was completed, and everything being prepared, I apprised my young friend of the fact. A note from her enclosed this dispatch: "What hath God wrought!" These were the first words that passed over the electric wires, on the first complete line in America. None could have chosen more in accordance with my own feelings. It baptised the American telesrraph with the name of its author. It placed the crown of success and honor where it belonged. The Truth Boldly Spoken-. The New York Day Book speaks out in regard to the late democratic defeat: "There is but little, if any, doubt that the democratic party is badly defeated; and this may be attributed to John Van Bureti and his free-soil 'corner-stone' resolution. Had the party come out 'flat-footed,' as it did iu Perm sylvauia, who can doubt but the result would V 1 At o x- ...i nave ueeu me same: o one, 01 course, ine vote for the hard-shell ticket shows most con clusively that the mass of the democrats are sound, and had that faction but passed Mr Sickles's resolution and commended the admin istration as they did its measures, their whole ticket would have been elected.

But this backing and filling, playing fast and loose, dal lying with John V an Buren, and feeding his prototypes at the public crib, will kill any party, and so it ought." The market for Breadstuffs.

There was no shrieking and screaming, though all begged, for the love of heaven, to be extricated from some mass of iron or beam of wood which pinned them to the earth. All begged for water, drank it when it was bronght, and prayed tor more. There was hardly an uninjured man to be seen. Most of those who had escaped had streams of blood flowing over their faces from splinter wounds. Others limped and hoppled about, looking for their friends. A board shanty was the only shelter to be had, and that was soon filled with the wounded whose silent, speechless agony was enough to make the stoutest heart shndder. Immediately after the accident, the heavens grew dark and black, as though the night had come. 1 he wind shrieked from the leafless trees; the heav ens were rent in twain, and from the crevice gleamed the white lightning, and the hoarse thunder bellowed its cruel mocking at the woe beneath. It seemed as if the elements were holding hijrh carnival over the scene of slaugh ter. The Republican gives the following horrid picture of the scene of disaster: We observed one car lying at a right angle with the bridge, the botton nearly forced out, and in the space thus made several dead bodies were observed by those on the outsuJe. An otherhad been crushed by the ponderous wheels of one in the rear but whether immediately behind, it is impossible to sav and in this a a heavy loss of life occurred. The ceiling by the overriding: car was crushed for half its lenghth to the floor, and when the top was removed we counted five lifeless bodies, one with u wheel resting fully on the breast. The Republican notes an accident to the train from the scene of the disaster for that city, containing the dead and wounded. It says: On the way up, upon arriving at the bridge across the creek known as St. John's, about four miles above Washington, a portion of the train was left behind to provide for contingencies in case the bridge might break down, which was thought to be quite probable, the creek being much swollen from the heavy rains. The bal ance of the train proceeded to Herman, took on the survivors, the wounded, and tne dead. and about two o'clock they reached the bridge across St. John's Creek. Before starting to cross." a number of the unhurt at the disaster. (among whom was our informant,) got out of the cars and walked across the bridge; after wards, as soon as the locomotive started to cross, the whole structure gave way, and the entire train of cars, containing the dead and wounded, and most of the survivors, were left on the other side of the bridge. Those who walked across got in the cars which arrived last night, and proceeded im mediately to the city. How soon the dead and wounded may be brought in, it is impossible to conjecture. When our informant left the creek. there was no show for anything to cross, there being no boats of any description at hand. The wounded were all placed in one car; and with the kind attentions of physiciuas and friends were doing as well as could be expected. The dead (28 in number) were all boxed up and placed in a separate car. Stockholders' meeting. At the meeting of the Stockholders of the Wilmington & Weldon Railroad Company yes terday, the committee appointed to varify proxies reported nearly ten thousand shares represented personally or by proxy. .This amount was subsequently increased to over ten thousand shares. The report of the President and Direc'ors was read, received, and referred to a committee of three, who reported at the afternoon session at 4 o'clock, recommending the ratification of the act of Assembly changing the name of the company and reducing the vote of the State in the meetings of said company, and referred the recommendation to establish a transfer office in New York to the Stockholders without expressing any opinion on the subject. A resolution ratifying the recent action of the Legislature changing the name of the com pany, &c, was passed unanimously. Another resolution authorizing two-thirds of all the directors, in fnll board, to establish a transfer office in New York, if in their opinion it could be done with safety and advantage, was after considerable debate adopted. After which the meeting went into the election of officers. Hon. Wm. S. Ashe was re-elected President without opposition. The old Board of Directors, with the exception of ex-Gov. Dudley, deceased, and General Alexander McRae. who declined a re election, were all chosen. W. W. Pierce and W. C. Bettenronrt, Ksqrs., were chosen to supply the vacancies. IVil. Journal. Accident. A voung and valuable negro servant of Mr N. N. Nixon on Topsail Sound, was accidentally shot on Saturday morning last, by the overseer of the plantation. It seems that the overseer was fixing the gun. not knowing that it was loaded. He had placed powder in the pan and snapped her several times without a discharge. Sitting down with his children and the negro around him, he re moved the old flint, put in a new one. and pulled the trigger, discharging the contents of the gnn in the groin of the slave, and burning the face slightly of one of the children. The negro died yesterday morning. Wil. Herald. The Empress of France. The health of the Empress is now better. She was playing at billards the whole of Tuesday morning, the 23d ult.

Threatened Civil War iw- Kansas The St. Louis Democrat says that the Missouri borders are canvassing the propriety of an appeal to arms. We have had the opportu nity of conversing with one or two gentlemen who have jnst come from that section of the State, and they report the public feeling as being one of the most intense and alarming character. One of the gentlemen remarked to us, "von may look out for a civil war in Kansas in less than twenty days. Bait. Sun. Rockingham Court. The Greensboro Pa triot of the 9th., gives an account of two State cases tried at the term of Rockingham Superior Conrt, held week before last by Judge Cald well. Reuben Samuel was indicted for the murder of Reuben Sonthard, and Jerome B. Vaughan for manslaughter, in killing Randall a slave. &iave &nmnei Killed houthard trom a conviction that he was going off with his wife in the night time for improper purposes. The Judge charged that nothing short of actual adultery with the wife would extenuate the prisoner's case to manslaughter, and that if the jnry believed the testimony the prisoner was guilty of murder. The jury found him guilty 01 murder. In the case of Mr Vaughan, it appeared that the negro Randall had insolently refnsed the prisoner the use of a pitcher to get a drink from a spring at Camp Meeting, with the remark "guess you'll wait till I get some." A little eirl came to the spring with a pitcher, which Mr Vanghan got from her. The n?gro still more insultingly said to Mr Vaughan, "I thought yon'd wait," upon which Mr Vanghan strnck him on the head with the small pitcher wnicn tractnred his skull and may have caused his death. The negro died on Tuesday. It was in evidence that another person struck the negro several blows on the head on Sunday atternoon the same day when Mr Vanghan sirucK nim wnn tne pucner. ine tellow was notorious for a bad, impndent character, and his conduct on this particular occasion, had been particularly offensive.

From the San Francisco Herald; Oct. 5. Startling narrative f Crime. Some mouths ago a large section of the in terior country, embracing portions of the coun ties of Calaveras, J I Uorado and Flacer, was the theatre of a series of horrible and mysteri ous marders, attributed to .Mexican Danoitti. In most cases the victim was a miner, known to have been working a good claim, and situa ted in a locality where, in cases of attack by robbers, he would have little chance of escape, and still less of assistance from neighbors. In several instances, men were murdered and their bodies burned on the spot; and upon making search for the missing, the only ground of suspi cion that the par:y sought for had been mur dered was the fact that his tent or cabin bore traces of having been rifled, and evident hasty departure of the occupant. The officers of the law were unable to gain any trace to the route pursued by the murderers, or their number or character, although it was universally believed that they were Mexicans. Some weeks since a murder was committed in El Doradojconnty, and suspicion attached to a man named Wilson, and although there was no proof to warrant his arrest, a deputy Sheriff resolved to try what could be done by strata gem, aud accordingly approached V ilson and charged him directly with the murder. Wil son manifested every symptom of guilt, and im mediately exclaimed, "have they caught Kelly r" the officer said yes, we have got Kelly," when the other replied, "then the d d scoundrel has blowed it unon me." Wilson was immedi ately takeu to the Caloma jail, when he was in duced to turn State's evidence, with the condi tion that he should be liberated upon the con viction of his partners in crime. He then com menced a long narrative of murders, to which he had been a witness and a party, and impli cated two men named Kelly and Mackey Free, with whom it appears he was associated in nearly every murder that has been committed in the section of country specified during the last year. He related his story with such min ute detail, apparently exhibiting such a won derful power of memory, that his listeners were almost induced to the belief that they were being deceived by the imaginings of a mad man. Many of the circumstances which he related, however, were in some measure known to the officers, and a careful note was token of all the descriptions which he gave rclavive to the po sition of the bodies of the men that had been murdered bv him aud his companions, and burned, as a precaution against immediate in vestigation of the murder. In every instance these descriptions were found to be wonderfully correct, even in such details as the tearing of a garment and stuffing the fragments into the mouth of the victim, to prevent his calling for assistance. Bodies of murdered ineu, describ ed by him as having been burned at a distance from any habitation, were found in the exact position indicated. The form and color of a rock, the peculiar inclination of the branches and shrubbery of a tree in a spot visited by him but once, and then under circumstances which gave little time or opportunity for re mark, were described with such accuracy that the officers had only to refer to the chart, which he had marked out for their guidance, and they were sure of finding the objects which it indicated. Soon after the arrest of Wilson, a policeman of this city visited him in his cell at Colonia jail, with the view of ascertaining if he was the person of the name who is accused of murdering a man in Montgomery county some years since. As soon as the officer enter ed the cell he saw that Wilson was not the man he was looking for, and immediately turned away when the jailor remarked to the officer: 'I'll bet you that Willson can describe to me every article ot your dress." ine officer re mained in a position where he could listen without being seen by the prisoner, and was startled to hear .1 complete description not only of his apparel, but even of peculiaritirs of his person which he himself had never previously noticed. It is admitted by all that a man of such remarkable talent, capable of employing it 111 the manner illustrated by his own story of crime, is too dangerous a person to be allowed his liberty. Mickey Free, one of the murder ous trio, has been arrested, and will undoubted ly be executed. Kelly had not been captured at the last accounts, but it is believed that he is in the State, and cannot finally escape the punishment which is justly due for the crimes he is said to have committed.

TIIAH acs uu nn THOMAS President Ex-Oflicio Literary Board. A Romantic Ixcidknt. A soldier who was present at the capture of Sebastopol, relates in a letter 10 11 is menus trie loliowing roman tic story: "A party of men, belonging to different regiments, were patrolling from house to house, in search of plunder. In one of the houses they came across a young and beautiful female, about 17 or 18 years of age. Of course, some ignorance was shown amongst the party, who commenced to drag her about ana wouiu uave used violence to her had not a young man, belonjrinff to the 18th. taken a musket, r.nd threatened to blow the first man brains out that laid a finger on her; whereupon the yonng woman flew to this man, and clung to him for protection. She followed him all me way oacK to tne camp, when, coming 111 sight of his camp, he beckoned her to return- but no, she would not leave him. Whether she had fallen in love at first sight, I don't know, but she came to camp with him. As soon as he got there he was instantly confined for being absent when the retriment was under arms. She followed him to guard tent, and cried after him. The colonel of his regiment, seeing the affection she bore him, released him and sent them both to General Harris, where an interpreter was got, and she related the whole affair to them. It turned out that she was a general's daughter, with some thousands. She was beautifully attired, and carried a gold watch, and wore a set of brace lets of immense value. The young man is now about to be married to her. She will not leave 11 1 111 upon anv account wnatever, and it he is not a lucky dog, I don't know who is." unexpected Visitou. A few evenings since while a party of ladies and gentlemen were pleasantly engaged in conversation in a private residence on Shockoe Hill, they heard a slight rap at the front door, and one of the fair damsels proceeded to answer the summons. On opening the door she discovered a champagne basket in the porch, with a white cloth spread over it, which so much excited her, that she screamed aloud for help. As a matter of course the gentlemen hastened to her assistance, and on perceiving the white cloth, proceeded to remove u, wnen to their creat astonishment there lay a beautiful little boy, a few weeks old, "dressed very neatly, and having pinned to his uiiuciivo iiuvc a ue nine stranger was immediately taken in and nroixrlv rl fa he having an abundance of clothing with him!
