We hare heard many of the first singers of ,

experience has extended, aud our but unskilful
appreciation is worth any thing, in pronouncing
Madame lJisnor equal, in the rich melody ot
her voice and tle exquisite jeeiutg which sue
throws into her execution, to the best of them.
She is already known most favorably to our cit
izens, however, from a former visit.

RELEASE OF PRISONERS.
Our Minister at Madrid, Mr. Barringer, has
fully succeeded in his efforts, through his per
lonal influenco with the Government thoro, in
procuring from the Queen of Spain a pardon
and rekase of the Hungarian prisoners bf the
Lopez expedition of 1S51, against the island of
Cuba, who have been so long confined "in the
Spanish presidio at Ceuta, in Africa, and who
were made an exception to the general pardon
granted to the American and other prisoners of
the expedition. They are eight in number. -.
U. S. MARSHAL.
Wesley Jones, of this County, has been ap
pointed U. S. Marshal for the District of North
Carolina, rice that able and faithful officer,
George Little, removed. ,
The "Standard," we porceive, remarks of thia
appointment, that "it will be bailed with grati
fication by the Democracy of the State general
ly." This is simply ridiculous, only intended
a? a ptiff. The "Democracy of the State, gener
ally," we presume, care but little for either the
appointment or the appointee ; while a few of
the "Democracy," particularly, who were anx
ious to get the office themselves, are, we dare
ay, not overly "gratified" at the result !
. MOST TRUE.
A Correspondent of the " Raleigh Standard,"
who writes over the significant caption of " Free
Suffrage and Tax," commences his sayings by
remarking that the favorite hobby of Douglas,
Reid&Co., (Free Suffrage,) " the great funda
mental principle of liberty, was defeated in the
Senate of the last General Assembly, hi fit re-
Ifutal of (he Speaker to vote in its favor." Most
true; and that Speaker, be it always bornefn
mind, is a leader of the North Carolina "Dem
ocracy." CONNECTICUT ELECTION.

Ex-SsxAioa Dix's Nomination. The Wash-

American communicates the followine particu
lars of what transnircd in Ecncutiva SUsniiin nn
the nomination of Ez-Senator Dix for -the office
of Sub-Treasurer of New York :
"The Senate in Executive session on Mr.

Jix s nomination, lasted four hours, and was
juperbly rich. Senators Douglas, Soule, Wel-

ground for confirmation, and Rusk, Bright, But

that if this distinguished free soiler should re

th great earnestness. Mr. Soule was artistic.
Messrs. Rusk and Butler were blunt and indig

We are gratified to. learn that this important
link, -which is to be promotive of such impor
tant advantages )tp this section of the State, no
less than to the Sue Commercial City of Nor
folk, will certainly bo finished by the 20th of
this month. At that time, a train of cars can
be run over the entire route between this place
and Portsmouth.'; "
A meeting of the Merchants of Norfolk was
to have been holden on the 6tb., in order to
make arrangements for celebrating, in a proper
manner, the opening of the connection. We
trust that the citizens" of Raleigh will join them
in this celebration. If we are not mistaken,
the closest business intercourse is hereafter to
spring up between the two cities ; and the soon
er we form a mutual acquaintance, the better.
The "Argus" says : "The Weldon and Gaston
Road will bring us in direct ejajectkn with
the great Central Railroad that is now spreading
its iron arms out south, east and west, through
every section of the rich and productive old
North State, Connecting with the Raleigh and
Gaston Railroad proper, at Gaston, it places' us
in immediate contact with the Roanoke Valley
trade, hitherto difficult of access to our eity
from the tedious navigation between Gaston and
Weldon. A new era is about to dawn on our
city, and is a fit subject for a celebration by our
citizens. Feeling a lively interest in the mat
ter, we cordially second the call of a meeting of
pur merchants, traders and citizens, to convene
at our reading room' this alteruoon at 5 o'clock,
to take some steps towards celebrating this pro-
P'tious event in a becoming manner. It re-
mh nw "J "ake ourselves acquainted
with the people hi the interior, and to show -to
.. . r . r .... .. . .
Ulen ne advantages ot tnis city tor the sale ot
tl,eir produce and for the purchase of their sup-
plies. The railroad companies along the line
will enter into the project, and we propose to
invito the citizens of North Carolina to visit oui
city as the guests of oUr people, confident that
every house will be thrown open for the hospit
able reception and entertainment of our new
friends."
' BSSf The "Fayetteville Observer," comment
ing upon the recent sale of our State bonds, ie
marks, very correctly, that "the result is a grat
ifying one. It shows that the credit of North
Carolina is good. '
Whilst sueh is the credit of North Carolina,
we learn from the Norfolk Beacon that that of
Virginia is below par. Her G per cent, bonds,
which lately sold at $108, are now selling at
98J. This is owing to the vast appropriations
of the present Legislature for rail roads, &.c.
There may be such a thing as overdoing even
internal improvements. The debt of Virginia is
already $17,042, 184, besides about $4,000,000
of guarantees of rail road companies' bonds."
J6" The "New York Express," through one
of its Washington Correspondents, states that
about one hundred and fifty Whigs had their
(political) heads eut off on the 4th inst., and De
mocrats, including Abolitionists and Secession
ists, were nominated to the Senate by the Pre
sident in their places. The slaughter was awful.
The Senate, weary of the good work of the
guillotine in detail, realized the wish of some
despot of connecting them in one head, and ex
ecuted them all in one lump !
Messrs. Cushing and Marey reason, that when
the guillotine is to work, work it as rapidly as
possible."
Greely, of the New York Tribune, says,
Mr. Pierce might as well let the Senate run.
It don't pay to expend,, five hundred dollars a
day to 'confirm nominations that no Senator, in
his official capacity, objects to. Senators mere
ly laugh as the different batches appear, and
say aye to them all, as unanimously as any jury
of twelve men ever did to a verdict. The Presi
dent judges, condemns and hangs, and then the
Senate merely says, "Amen."
ASSf There seems to be at present, what was
most desirable, a lull in the political elements.
The only thing that we hear is the working of
the guillotine. As our readers have but little
interest in that operation, we invite them to an
entertaining variety in our columns to-day".
The Knickerbocker for March. We find a
few morsels on the editor's table of this popular
monthly, which will be relished by our readers:
"In reading," writes another correspondent,
"with ptiarmed eagerness. Mr. Shellin' trim L
history of the "Rector of St. Bardolph's," I met
with a sentence which reminded me of one of
those strange and striking utterances of child
hood which form so vraisemblancez featurejof the
Knickerbocker gossip. Quoting a wise saw, he
remarks: "Wiat a! capital old proverb is that !
T wish that T had m.adu it I" Mv little eirl. of
something under five years, while gazing a few
i mornings since at the broad, nery disc ot the
rising sun, suddenly exclaimed. "Mamma, I
wish Uod liadn t made-the sun.' "Why my
dear?" "Oh ! it's so beautiful, I wish I had
made it myself !" And thus a third contribu
tor, in a letter to the editor " Bobby, a three
years old little fellow, sitting at the table the
other day, some one remarked to him, "Bobby,
you'll be a man before your mother, yet." Bob
by's eyes expanded, but he nibbled away at his
pie, and said nothing. The pie and his reverie
coming to au end together, Bobby thus transfix
ed his interrogator ; "Woman don't bo main,
be they ?" Who can tell what throes preceded
the deliveryof this profound inquiry? And who
in this day of Bloeruerism and "woman's rights"
could conscientiously reply with "No ?".

j THE LATE ACCIDENT. ;
We glean, from the "Petersburg Express,"
the following particulars of the late disastrous
accident on the Petersburg and Richmond Hail
Road :
' '"The engineer, Mr. Martin Alley, informs us,
that when near the Clover Hil. Junction, and
about one mile North of the Port Walthall Junc
tion, he discovered several hogs on the track,
and failing to frighten them off with the whistle,
he commenced shutting off steam, and was, con
sequently, only running about twelve miles to
the hour at the time of the accident. The acci
dent was caused by a piece of the rail having
become loose from the track, and is generally
styled a "snake head."
The engine, tender, crate, baggage, and one
passenger car, passed over the "snake head,"
without leaving the track, but the last passen
ger coach was suddenly thrown from the rail, i

wuicu caused tne centre pin wmcn secures tne
front truck to the coach to break, and the truck
was immediately thrown up iota the coaeb,
which completely tore out the bottom of the
coach, seats, and every thing else.
Some eight or ten persona only are injured,
and but four or five of this number seriously.
The folio wing'are the names of those who have
suffered the most : Mrs. Purnell, her little son,
a promising boy about ten years of age, and
maid. Mrs. Purnell has both ancklcs very bad
ly lacerated and bruised ; her little son received
a very powerful blow upon the back of the head,
and several cuts and contusions on various parts
of his body. A very likely mulatto girl, about
18 years of age, maid servant to Mrs. Purnell,
has he right foot cut entirely off, between the
anckle and the knee. Mr. T. C. Mcllhenny, a
brother-in-law of Mrs. Purneli's, has one of his
knees badly bruised, but is not otherwise serious

the coach that was thrown off the traek, for the
purpose of driving some negroes from the plat
form of a forward coach, when the accident oe
eured. lie immediately pulled the bell rope,
and gave warning to the engineer to stop. Up
on rushing to the broken car, he discovered
that not an individual had left the wreck, but
every passenger was piled up on the bed of the
road, shrieking and screaming amid the bro
ken seats and planks turn out of the bottom of
the coach. . There were but three females on
the train, a young lady from Raleigh, accom
panied by her lather, Mrs. Purnell, and her
maid servant. The little boy, Thomas Purnell,
and the servant girl, were sitiing on a scat to
gether, and these are the only two whose livej
will be lost, it is thought, by the sad accident.
The passengers from the foremost coaches, ajl
promptly rushed to the aid of the wounded arid"
suffering, and as speedily as possible conveyed
them to the train, in order that .they might
reach Petersburg at the earliest possible mo
ment, and procure medical aid. A messenger
was also immediately dispatched to Mr. Doda
mead, the superintendent of the road, residing
in Richmond. Mr. D. promptly summoned his
hands, had an engine fired up, and reached the
scene of disaster about half past eight o'clock.
The wreck of the broken car, were moved
from the track, and the regular mail and pas
senger train returned to Kichroead yesterday
morning at 4i o'clock, without interruption.

to say, is very seriously injured, the main
wound being on the back of the head. His

THE SUFFERERS FROM THE LATE RAIL
KOAl ACCIDENT.
We are gratified to have it in our power to
state that the situation of the little sou of Mrs.
Purnell was more comfortable yesterday. Mrs,
Purneli's injury having been slight, she is, of
course, rapidly recovering.
We hope that, for this dreadful calamity and
loss, the Railroad Company will be made legal
ly responsible, as they should be. Other roads
havo been made to pay damages in such cascsj
and we see 110 reason why there should be any
exemption in the present instance.

AN ARMY WITH BAN NEILS.
As yea are whirled along over the Hudson
River "Railroad at the rate of forty miles an
hour, you catch a glimpse every minute or two
of a man waving something like a white pocket
handerchief on the end of a stick, with a satis
factory sort of expression of countenance. If

like" rather a useless eeremonj', at first glance,
but is a pretty important one, nevertheless.
There are 225 of these "Hag men" stationed
at intervals along tlu whole length of the line.
Just before a train is to pass, each one walks
over his "beat,' and looks to seo tnat every
' track and tie, every tunnel, switch, rail, clamp
and rivet, is in sood order and free from ob-,
struction. If s, he takes his stand with a
white flag and waves it to the approaching train
as-a signal to "come on" and come on it does,
at lull speed. If there is anything wrong, he
waves a red flag, or at nicht a red lamp, and
the engineer on seeing it promptly shuts off the
am, and sounds the whistle to put down

With such an effective police, accidents from

part of the watchmen. Evening Journal.
The death of Mrs. Fillmore gives the editor
of the. Springfield Republican occasion for the
following reflection :
"And thus it is. President Pierce, in the
flush of triumph, and with his brilliant pros-
Eects before htm, had his child stricken from
is Bide by a sudden blow, and his heart, crush
ed and silent, felt the hollowness of all worldly
renown. Mr. Fillmore, ; rejoicing1 in success,
and the prospect of a country's greetings and
congratulations, and the still sweeter prospect
of honorable retirement from public life, will
follow to his old home the body of the compan
ion of his heart.-. Is there no lesson here?"

iiUxcLE Tom and Uncle John. A month or
to since, in commenting oh what was done by
tbpse "silly women, the Duchess "of Southerland
arid her associates we took occasion to advise
them to "look at home."; Our Abolitionist
friends waxed very wroth, at this, and intima
te that things were well enough in I England,
though Englishmen did now and then sell their
wives at auction, with halters round their
necks nothing being dono and, very little Baid
against it by their neighbors. John Bull, how
evershall we say it begins to think it high
titpe to follow our advice. The London Mern
ing' Chronicle of March 12th has a leading ar
ticle, commencing as follows : 4
f'The bill for the ..protection of women and
children, introduced by Mr! Fitxroy on Thurs
day night, is conceived in the right spirit. 1 It
will go tar to redaem what is, we fear, a nation
al disgrace. Whether we are in any degree) in
debted for it to the somewhat vivacious ind
personal reply which the "Women of America"
scit to a recent address frou thei-. British sib
tcts, it ia superfluous fc;iniuire. Anjhow, the
sttjrn realities of our Police Court equal, if
thy do not surpass, the fictitious horrors; of
Mfo. Beecher Stowc. It is high time thai we be
gin to look ai home. Whether the crimes of
trampling upon a wife, beating her with a po
ker, kicking and lacerating her person, are pe
culiar to England or to our own times, we know
not. It is always difficult to register the origin
or. progress of crime all we can do is to detect
an J suppress it- We suspect that even when
"England was merry England," there was al
wtfjvs a good deal of coarse brutality about the
hoisted liritisn character ; and savage domestic
tyranny, at least in the lower ranks of society,
is.jwe fear, no new phenomenon in our annals.
Stul it can hardly be doubted that cruel outra
ged upon women, chiefly perpetrated by their
hugbands and paramours, arc largely incieas-
'4'his, we think, is sufficient to show that the
inij;k-aiid-water sentimentality of Stafford House
is field at a cheap rate by sensible people in
England, and that the ridiculous aspect of the
psqjudo-j hiiantlimpliy, w hich mcltsmto tears
ovsr a romance, wliilo it shuts its eves and har-
doris its heart to the misery that lies weltering ;
at its own doors, is beginning to strike every :

to are recapitulated in the course of what
loltows id the Cnronicle. Ihey form a cata
logue of horrid brutalities too painful to quote.
We will give a few of the London editor's com
ments: 'Jllere, then including Mr. Fitzroy's list
are;, more than twenty instances, occurring
witliin two months,' in London alone, of the
most foul and savage attacks, committed most
ly by men, on women and defenceless children.
Th( old chivalry of common life, which held it
base to lilt a hand against a womanv seems to
be ipxtinct; and things have come to such a
pas that a poor man's wife only chums from
the aw of England that measure of protection
which is freely awarded to a dog or an ox.
"Jt may be difficult to assign a special cause
for this frightful degradation of thenatiunal
character lor such we fear it is. WeJully be
lievp that this mass of misery, domestic hatred,
cowardly assaults and murder, may in number
