The New Tork Times bus a good deal of special correspondence from Italv, which represents the feeling ol discontent universal, and Milan was ready to revolt.

says nothing but respect of the Milanese for the French army has prevented a series of duels; for whatever may be the sentiments of the army in regard to the unexpected termination of the war, they will not permit the Italians to make use of abuses or injurious reflections towards their Commander-in-chief. Thus I heard a gentleman say this morning, in the cafe of the Hotel de la Ville, the great rendezvous of tbe French officers, that the Emperor had betrayed Italv. The word was taken up by a young captain of Zouaves, who bad his arm in a sling, from a wound received at Solferino, and who demanded at once a retraction of the word. The retraction was made by a modification of tbe language. I afterwards had a long conversation with this officer, and he declared that he must leave for Pans as soon as possible, or he should have some fights on his bands, for he could not The Accident on the Vermont and Canada Railroad-Thirteen Lives Lost Twenty Injured.

From the Albany Statesman, Aug. 3 Intelligence reached this city at a late hour last night, that a shocking accident occurred on tbe Vermont and Canada Railroad, near Schaghtic-oke, about 17 miles from this city. It seems that the mail train, wbich was due in this city at 7:25 in tbe evening, was passing over a tressel-work bridge near Schaghiicoke, when the timbers gave way, and the entire train, with the exception of the locomotive, was precipitated in'o the abyss below, a distance of nearly forty feet. As soon as news reached this city a special train was dispatched to the scene of the accident. Every available effort was made to rescue those who were alive from their perilous position.

A large cumber were taken out, several of them badly maimed. As soon as this had been gone through with, a search for the dead was commenced. The accident took place about one mile this side of Schaghticoke. The moment the train, which was running veTy rapidlv, struck the" bride, the structure gave wav. The loenmntiv.

woman's inconstancy, but where one case of thi; kind occurs there are thousands proving her love and devotion, which, from their very nature. obtain no publicity. Here is an instance worthy of notice, although the parties are humble, an one criminal. A year ago, one James Roark was arrested here for passing counterfeit bills, and gave bail, which proving worthless, he was sub sequently re-arrested, and committed for trial. His wife lived in Cincinnati, and earned support with her needle.

Several times, as she could spare the means, she visited her unfortunate husband to console him with her presence and words of love. In May, Eoark's case was continued to the October term, and his wife wish ingto be where the light of the eyes of the man she loved might gladden her heart, removed liom Cincinnati to this city and hired herself a3 a ser vant. Every Tuesday and Friday, the reception days at the jail, this woman cames the earliest, and is even the latest to leave, and supplies him little delicacies in the way of eatables. She even deposits with him. for use hereafter, the wages earned by her labor.

Such a woman ought to re solve a thief into an honest man. To those whose hearts are not as stone, this will be a proof of woman's unselfish love: another to add to the rec ords which are countless as the leaves on the trees or the sands that whiten the shores of tha sea. Fourth District. The vote cf this District, from the most reliable information we can obtain, between Chrisman and Anderson, is a tie.

This brutal affair occurred on Water street, near Logan's Row. It is supposed that probably an hour had expired before tbe alarm was given, as the man was cold when the officers reached the spot. A woman, who witnessed the transaction, was tranquilly nursing her child near the body of the man, and when asked where tbe murdeier was, responded that he had gone for the doctor. He, of course, made his escape and has not yet been heard of. Lex.

Mowry's friend, and Captain John Donaldson, United States custom-house officer, at Calabasas, seconded Mr. Cross. The challenged party chose rifles of the Burnside patent, and forty spaces were agreed upon. The writer says About thirty spectators were present, comprising nearly two-thirds of tbe American residents within a circuit of fifty miles. It waa a characteristic frontier spectacle.

Every man on the ground was armed with levclvers and bowie knives, and strong partisan feelings were manifested. The principals took their stations, and the word was given by Mr. Geo. D. Mercer, Lieut.

Mowry's second. Three shots were exchanged without effect. Upon the fourth round, the cap on Mowry's rifle did not excplode, while Cross' ball whistled harmlessly bv his antagonist. Mow ry held his rifle still leveled, as an indication that he had not had his shot, and many not understanding the code, supposed that he designed trying again, several grasped tneir pistols as if to hoot him down, and there were cries of "Hold your nrel "Don shoot Mowry! Meanwhile Cross stood perfectly calm, awaiting the result. Mr.

jjiercer aavancea, wnen Mowry immediately lowered his ritle aad handed it to" his second. They still claimed their shot a3 a right under the code. Mr. Cross unhesitatingly expressed his willingness to grant it, but his second demurred. After conferring with several gentlemen familiar with the code, who agreed with Mr.

Mowry that he was entitled to tbe shot, Captain Donaldson acquiesced, and Mr. Cross handing him his rifle, folded his arms, apparently unconcerned, and faced bis antagonist. At this stage of the proceedings the spectators became terribly excited. Many, perhaps a majority, thought it unfair, and some spoke of putting a summary stop to the whole atfair; but, upon learning that those present, supposed to be best acquainted with the duello, had declared him entitled to it, they reluctantly fell back. At the word of command, Mr.

Mowry fired in the air and declared himself satisfied. Cross had stood, with heroic valor, directly facing bim, not knowing that he could rely upon his generosity to decline bring upon an unarmed foe, fully expecting death, and yet not a nerve trembled not a single evidence of fear was displayed. Hia antagonist was completely unmanned. Tears sprung into his eyes, and all enmity vanished before such an exhibition. A brave man could not look upon even a deadly foe, thus circumstanced, without feeling deep emotion.

Mr. Mercer, Mowry's second, crossed the field, and taking Cross by the band, informed bim thut Mr. Mowry was satisfied. They started forward to meet Mowry, who was advancing, and, after shaking hands, they stood some minutes to receive the con gratulations of their friends. Both gentlemen are excellent shots, but there was a very strong wiud at the time, making good shooting impossible, especially with tbe weapons cbosen for this rencounter.

The Burnside rifle weiihs but 7 pounds, is short, and not well balanced. The bail is a large slug, over one ounce in weht. They will project a ball 1,000 yards, and like all guns ranged tor long distance, are nut well adapted for close shootiug. Mowry's first shot grazed his antagonist's ear, causing an involuntary dodge, just perceptible, and Mr. Cross second shot caused a similar movement on the part of Mr.

Mowry. Lively Scens. The Washington Star savs that the officials in the gallery of the Patent Office were favored with a scene tnat seldom occurs that matter-of-fact locality. It appears that an employee in the Patent Office galleries wrote a Dote to a lady inviting her to meet him at three o'clock at the Patent Office. By some means this note fell into tbe hands of the husband, who, arming himself with a stout pair of tinner's shears, proceeded to the Patent Office with tbe supposed intent of getting satisfaction by cutting off the gay Lothario's ears, or shearing bim in some disagreeable manner.

Gay Lothario, however, saw infuriated husband ere he reached him, and took to his heels. Infuriated husband followed in sharp pursuit, and the race that then and there came off up and down those galleries, was a sight to see. But Lothario, by sharp dodging, managed to escape the avenging shears, and the husband was compelled to forego his satisfaction. Man Killed.

m. New Books Wo have from the Appletons the eleventh volume of Benton's Abridgement of the Debates in Congress. We have so often in praise of this valuable work, that nothing remains to be said. We can only assure our readers that all who can ufford it ought to buy the entire work. It is the great source of the best history of Congress thai ever has been written or that ever will be given to the public.

It is the cream of the de bates in Congress which tell the whole story of our government's advance from its beginning down to the time at which the work is suspended! also, the sixth volume of the New American Eu-cyclopcedia, an invaluable work which ought to be in the library of every one who pretends to keep books. It is a perfect store-house of knowl edge on almost every subject, so arranged as t5 be as easy of access as the finding of a word in the dictionary. The work, moreover, is made up short articles upon the subjeet of which it treats: short enough to be read quick, but copious enough to give a fair idea of the knowledge sought. These books are for sale by F. A.

Mr. Muliins has the assistance of a superior corps of teachers, and the course tf instruction is as thorough and complete as in any institution of learning in the land. The buildings are new and very superior, the location is heahby and delightful, and Richmond is easy of access and a must desirable place for residence. Sir.

A Fortunate Escape. Two young girls of a tender age were decoyed from Elizabelhtown by some scoundrel for evil purposes, and brought to this city on Thursday evening. They were sent to a house of ill fame by two men, who as yet, we believe, are unknown to the police. The woman of the house, to her credit, refused to permit the girls to be debauched under her roof, and their evil advisers conducted them to a house where the inmates were less scrupulous.

The girls, however, resisted the importunities of the men who purposed their rum, and by some means escaped from the evil in lluence surrounding them. They were restored unharmed to their mother, and have gone home. A fortunate escape, truly. The Big Snow is Herb Fun Ahead.

We published in the Courier some weeks since a paragraph stating that Charles Morningstar had been concerned in the abduction of ayoung girl in Memphis. This, it is proper to say, is not Charles Morningstar who is well known to many merchants and citizens here. The fellow at Memphis probably has assumed the name. The genuine Charles Morningstar is an enterprising merchant in New York city, and in connection with H. Obendorfer, formerly of Louisville, carries on iu that city a general commission, starch, paper and rag business.

See stand tne ingratitude ot these people any longer.

The French army, he said, had come here a longdistance in the heat of summer, to fight their battles and to gain their independence; 70,000 of the army were then out of service from'death, wounds, and disease; the soldiers were suffering for the necessaries of life. He had seen his own men pay three francs to these people for a bottle of execrable wine, that ordinarily sold at half a franc; and worse than all, he has seen French wounded men twice turned out of tbe bouses to accommodate Austrian soldiers, and said that after he saw that, he did not care for the future whether he turned his sword against the Italians or the Austrians. One of the men who swears the longest, loudest and most persistently against the peace signed by the Emperor, is Mr. Edmond Texire, of the Siecie, who is now here with the rest of the journalists who were at Densano. You will understand that when the Steele, which is the head and front of the Republican party in ranee, jaia asiae its oppo- ition to tne ismperor Aapoleon, in order to espouse the cause of Italian independence, which he also had espoused, it did it upon the solemn promises that the war was not a war of conauest.

and that Italy was to be free aud united in a great State, which should reach to the Adriatic. Duriog tbe whole war, M. Texire, here, and the other edi tors of the Siecie, at home, have supported the war and the Chief of the nation, with a zeal and an enthusiasm net surpassed by the goversment papers themselves. You can therefore imagine the im mense disgust and indignation of M. Texire, at the singular turn of affairs that has taken place.

He actually loots pate over it, and declares ffoinc home without writing another word to his paper. Some one to day quoted the expres sion; "The King trance, wnb forty thousand men, marched up the bill, and then marched down again;" and some one else declared that the army was victorious, but its General was defeated. These expressions shotr you the current of public feeling. The Frenchmen generally agree upon one piunt, aud that is, that the Emperor's great fault was in promising to liberate all Italy, without sure that insurmountable obstacles would not intervene. He should have qualified his language.

Under any circumstances, be has spent au immense amount of blood and treasure for the Lombards, who are free, and it is not they who ought to complain. Such was the feeling at Milan, that the Emperor did not enter that city until four hours alter hia proclamation was issued, explanatory ot his action. Tbe feeling of hostility was, therefore, much subdued, and his reception, although an enormous distdDC8 separated from that of bis entry after Magenta, and from what the present entry "would have been if he had accomplished hi programme, was yet not altogether cold. The King went to tneet him, and the two made the entrv seated side by side in the same carriage the Emperor ou the right, Victor Emmanuel on the left, while the front seat was occupied by Marshal Vaillant and Gen. De La Marmora.

A long suite of members of the household, and General officers, among whom was the new Duke of Magenta, followed in carriages, French soldiers held the lines of the street, and a sparse crowd garrisoned the pavements and the windows. Tne ladies, who only saw the soilders before them, made the principal part of the demohst' atien. From the balconies and windows flags were waved here and there, flowers were throwu down; but aside from these feminine demonstrations, an the customarv cheers of the soldiers, the reception was neither brilliant nor enthusiastic. Wheu the ladies from the balcony of a French millinery establishment threw some flowers the carriage, the Emperor smiled with an expression ot countenance wbich seemed to say that be regarded the whole affair as a good Both the monurchs looked with curiosity into the countenances of a group of strangers iu civil dress, English, Americans aud French, who stood upon chairs iu front of tbe )tel de la iiU Neither of thtm paid any attention to the salutes of the soldiers, or the cheers of the ladies. The chief of the secret police followed in a carriage with three ot hia men at the tail of the suite aiid stopped at the Hotel looking as pleased at the demi-success of the performance as a claquer at a Pitris theater who has ju.t made a first representation nass off well.

The Emperor looked exceed ingly wefi. The King waH more bronzed aud bore more marks of the campaign through which he bad just passed. They drove to the Royal Palace, and in the early part of the evening, there waa a large crowd iu front of the Palace clapping hands and cheering, with the design of bringing the Monarcha out, but they did not ap-poar. They gave a good many interviews, in the course ot the evening, to prominent persons at Milan, and later received a serenade. That well informed aud careful Journal, the London Spectator, says: We learn that King Victor Emmanuel was consulted by the Emperor Napoleon before the offer of the armistice.

This simple faot throws considerable light upon tbe character of the peace, auu disposes of the assumption that the Lmperor acted independently of Italy. MEETING OF THE ZJJPKROR AND EMPRESS OF TRANCE A DOMESTIC SCENE. The Paris correspondent of the New York Herald, under date of July 21st, says: The victor of Solferino is once more under the shadow of his imperial palace. Napoleon III reached St. Cloud yesteiday morning at 10 o'clock.

His Empress laid down her regent's scepter, and, like a simple, true-hearted, affectionate wife, was standing with her little child at the gate of the park, to welcome her husband from the wars. The meeting of the Eoaperor and Empress was full of tenderness. Her Mujesty threw herself into his arms, and Napoleon kissed her again and again; then turning to the little Prince Imperial, clothed in a picturesque representation of toe uniform of the Guard, and who, kaud possible tquis, had wandered up by the side of his imperial mother, the Emperor caught him up and embraced him as only a father does embrace a child. The little fellow twined his arms around his sire's neck, and seemed never tired of returning the kisses be received. It was a sight which could not fail to entail the sympathy of all who witnessed it, and many a stern-looking man, albeit unused to the melting mood, was seen with a moisture in his eye.

Together with the Emperor, arrived Gen. Fleury, Gen. Ney, Prince de la Moskowa, and several of his orderly officers. After exchanging the most friendly salutations with all, the Emperor and Empress and the Prince Imperial drove on to the Palace, soon after which hia Majisty received the Princes and Princesses of the Imperial family. At 12 o'clock all the Imperial household attended divine service in ibe royal chapel, after which the Ministers were admitted to pay their resDects.

New York Dry Goods, Trade Advance in Prices The New Tork correspondent of the Philadelphia I iqnirer writes: The dry good trade the past week has been quite active, and with the upward ajd advancing tendency in the raw material, prices are buoyant for all descriptions of cotton goods. The announcement that peace had been established between France and Au3tria has a tendency to advance prices on the other side, which also had a beneficial influence upon our maiket, and hold ers. in view of the light stock here, generally insisted upon full, and iu most cases higher prices. The fall season bids fair to be an active and profitable one, as prices for most descriptions must soon show an advance, as the supply of cotton good here is very limited, aud manufacturers are busily engaged on contracts, which will keep them employed for at leat three months to come. Brown sheetings are in demand at to for heavy, and 1 to 1 for light ditto.

In brown shirtings a fair business is doing at for liKht, and 5j4 for heavy, with a good export inquiry. Bleached sheetings and shirtings have been active at full prices, with large sales for export. Drills are in good demand for shipment to China, and with a reduced stock prices are firm at 5 9c. for bleached, and 10" to 11 for blue. Cotton flannels are in brisk demand at slightly higher prices.

Printing cloths are scarce and firmer, with a good inquiry. In all other descriptions of cotton goods the market is firm, and prices enerally tend upward with a good demand. Woolen goods are ia good supplv, and with a moderate inquiry prices remain steady and unchanged. Cassimeres and satinets, however, have been sold at slightly easier prices. In foreign goods there has been a fair bufinrss done, and prices remain about the same, although they are still higher than those ruling last year this time.

Blondin's daring feat of crossing the chasm upon a cable stretched between the cliffs. The crowd gathered waa almost, if not quite, equal to that assembled on any former occa sion; and the gathering was warranted, for the sight which was witnessed surpassed all the previous exhibitions of the same character. From this city we should judge that the attendance was greater than at any time before; and from Rochester and other places iu the vicinity, on both sides of the line, it could not be much, if any less. All the seats and stand places within view along the bank in the pleasure grounds upon this side of the river were crowded, and the enclosure upon the Canada side was better filled than upon any other occasion. Mons.

Blondin rode into tbe pleasure ground on this side about half past four o'clock, and started upon his aerial journey after a few moments of delay in preparation. His trip across to the Canadian shore was accomplished quickly, as he pro ceeded at a tripping pace moat of the ana omypausea a lew seconds occasionally to correct a balance and obtain slight rest. All oi his feats he reserved for the return journey. Arrived at the Canadian bank, be refreshed himself a little, and took a rest of perhaps fifteen minutes, when he again stepped upon the rope and tripped down the slant, airy plane, toward "the land of the free and the home of tbe brave." When about half way to the center, he stopped and sat down, then stretched himself at full length upon the rope, then performed a number of daring antics, and finally stood upright upon his bead, remaining in that reversed position for a length of time which seemed a mo meat at least, swinging and kicking his feet in the most reckless though ludicrous manner that can be conceived of. Resuming his journey, he proceeded but a little way when he again halted and repeated his per formance, with the addition of a backward som ersautt, and one or two sudden swings around the rope, which caused a general flutter among the hearts of tbe spectators, and brought little screams from many of the ladies.

Starting forward again he proceeded to the open space in the center, between the extreme guy ropes that branch off to either bank, where the cable spans the gulf without stay or accompaniment. Here he paused again, and laying his pole upon one of the guy ropes he swung himself under the cable and ran across the Central space of single cord, in the style of a monkey; hanging beneath, and swinging himself by his hands and feet, with great rapidity. Going back in the same gymnastic manner, when he had returned to the point where his pole rested, he began a series of performances which outdid in thrilling and startling effect upon the nerves of the spectators, ail that he done before. Clutching the rope with his hands he swung bis body clear from It, and hung for a leogtby period, of more than seconds, suspended by the arms, and by one arm, over the fearful depth of the chasm. Then he repeatedly turned such a somersault as is familar to boys, throwing his feet over his head and between his arms, and hanging with the shoulder joints in a moat unnatural position.

Then be straightened his body into a horizontal position, still suspended by the arms, thrown backward as described an exertion requiring immense strength, and calculated to exhaust the nervous svsteni tremendously. After thia he suspended himself by the legs, and by one single leg, head downward whirled around the rope turned mo somersaults stood upon his head again, and, in fact, performed all the most reckless feata attempted by tight rope performers under ordinary circumstances. Twice again before reach ing the bank he halted and repeated some of these antics, seeming determined to fatigue himself to the last point of endurance, and thoroughly satisfy the spectators with his exhibition of daring and skill. And they were satisfied, beyond question. The performance was wonderful and exciting enough for the most greedy seeker after sensations; and was by far the greatest yet given by Mons, Blondin.

Buffalo jSxprw, 4h Acting Treasurer. Tbe President yesterday appointed Wm. B. Randolph to act as Treasurer of the United States during the temporary ab-scence and sickness of Samuel Casey. Wash.

OonsiUution, however, got across and became uncoupled from the tender. The latter went down, and the baggage car and two passenger cars followed. The first passenger car went down endwise on the top of the tender, while the second passenger car ran into it, and keeled over. The passengers in first passenger car amounted to some forty-five or fifty. Many of these were killed; others were seriously wounded.

Just before reaching the bridge, the engineer sounded u-e whistle to put down the brakes, but Mr. Burthtrlon was not soon enough at his post, and the next instant all waa a total wreck. Tbe baggage car was a complete wreck, scarcely three feet of it being togetner. It was here that the express messenger, mail agent, the brakeman and the baggageman got killed, and a young McCarrick his leg broken. The latter was the only one who was not killed of ah who were in the car.

When the cars went eff the hri.W th.r r-n thirty-eight feet, and sank into eight feet of water. The special train returned this morning at an early hour, bringing such of the killed and wounded as had be.n rescued when it left. ACCOUNT OF MR. ii. X.

LEWIS. Mr. E. E. Lewis, of Genesee, was a passenger on the ill-fated train.

We take his statement us related to us in conversation at Stanwix Hall. As the cars weDt on to the bridge, Mr. Lewis remembers distinctly feeling a sort of jar or jerk, which gave him a momentary impression that something was wrong; but before the thought could confirm itself inhis mind, the crush came. Mr L. suddenly felt the car plunging downward, as it were, and falling to pieces.

The second car plunged under the first, and tore out the sides and bottom. Mr. L. was thrown violently forward, head first, striking, as hesupposed, against ute iop oi me seconu car, turned and tell to tne bottom, on the top of a number of persons. For an instant there was not the slightest noise, a shriek of terror or a groan of pain.

So instantaneous was tbe destiuction. that every person's energies appeared paralyzed. The first wods that Mr. L. remembeis hearing, for he was himself, if not stunned, entirely bewildered, were delivered in a very calm voice, and were, "Say, you at ihe top, get off as quick as you can, won't you As if this was the signal for a recovery of consciousness, it was immediately followed by agonizing shrieks and groans, and loud cries for help.

Mr. Lewis extricated himself from the wreck as speedily as possible, and the first person he recognized was Mr. Cooley, tbe conductor. He had been thrown violently forward the entire length of the car, aud bad crawled back to where his wife, her mother and child had sat, Mrs. Coolev and Mrs.

Cuyler lay apparently in the position they had oocupied in the car. Their feet were up and their heads and the upper part of their bodies were buried in the wreck Mr. Cooley sunk almost helplessly by the side of his wife, whom be apparently recognized by her dress, at which he was pulling, now beseeching assistance for her, and now calling piteously upon her name, and beseeching her to raise and save herself. Mr. L.

feeling faint and sick at tbe stomach, made his way to the water, in which he bathed this temples and wrists. As he did so, two gentlemen br.dly cnt on the head rushed to him, asking if they were dangerously hurt. He advised them to wash their wounds in the water, wbich they did. Ho then returned to the wreck and made "for Mr. Cooley, who was still pulling at the dress of bis wire, although almost helpless from his own injuries.

Mr. raised him and begged him to let him take him ashore, but Cooley only replied bv begging him to help his wife. After some difficulty and not without bei; compelled to speak harshly to bim, he succeeded iu getting him out of tha" wreck, and got him on the bank. Mr and others then went and got out the body of Mrs. Cooley, and bore it ashore.

They discovered that both herself and mother were quite dead. The child, alo much ii j.ired, was also taken out of the wreck. When Cooley saw the dead body of wife, he threw himself upon it shrieking terribly, "Oh, my wife my poor wife and was impossible to tear him from the corpse. His agonized grief was heartrending to behold. INCIDENTS.

Mr. Bradley was sitting on tb. seat with Mrs. Mary Wils.jn, of this city. Mrs.

W. escaped without the slightest injury, even to her dress, while Mr. B. was covered with rubbish, and was nearly suffocated with the water from the tender pouring in upon bim. Mrs.

George M. Griffen, as the cars were sinking, seized her children, and dragged them to tha rear of the car, and so escaped, while Mrs. Cooley, who was sitting near ber before she moved, was killed. A lady, believed to be the sister of Mr. Wright, was found lying with a stick of timber across her neck.

Those who first saw her supposed she was killed, but on releasing her, it was found that she was scarcely hurt. Mrs. B. P. Johnson and son (wife and son of tbe Secretary of the State Agricultural Societv,) were on the first car, and, although crushed among the splinters and fragments of the broken car, escaped with a few trifling bruises.

When Mrs. J. passed into the second car, to render assistance to the iujured there, she found Mrs. Griffen surrounded by her own three children, and with the babe of the dead sirs. Cooley in her arms grateful at her own escape and the escape of her little ones, and anxious to administer comfort to the little orpban.

The bridge where the accident occurred had for some time past been deemed insecure, and the Company, two weeks ago, had commenced to rebuild it. It would have been rebuilt in a few days. The engineers were directed to move cautiously ovijr it, and if the brakesman had promptly responded to the engineer's whistle, it is possible that the terrible catastrophe would not have occurred. A man of large size was so tightly wedged in that it wag necessary to use pieces of the wreck to remove the beams that confined him yet no bones were broken, and his injuries were only from bruises and exhau- tion. The following are the killed as far as we have been able to ascertain: KILLED.

The majority of Gov. Harris is somewhat reduced, but weentertrin no doubt of his election by a handsome majority. We are disappointed at this reduction. We believed his former majority would be sustained. It is too soon to estimate correctly tbe complexion of the Legislature.

We gain and lose members. The complexion of the Senate will depend upon districts yet to hear from. We had eleven majority in the last Senate. We lose the Senator for Robertson, and the Senator from Greene. We will also pretty certainly lose three others.

We think the House will certainly be Democratic by not less than five majority, and that we sbHll have a majority on joint vote. For Congress, at the moment of writing this, our intelligent is, that Haynes, Thomas, Wright, Atkins, and Avery, are elected. Tbe Opposiiion assert that Smith and Savage are defeated. This may prove to be so; but we have not yet heard enough to warrant the statement. JXaskvilU Union and American.

Accident to Judge Williams. A letter from Judge Williams informs us that he met with an accident on Saturday evening last, which came near proving a very serious one to him. The Judge, in company with his wife, was driving in bis buggy on a visit from his residence to Mayfield, when the horse took fright and ran off. After running about a quarter of a mile, he ran into a fence and tore the buggy loose, by which the Judge was thrown out upon his head, receiving a severe cut over the right eye, spraining his neck, shoulder and wrist, and being otherwise considerably bru sed.

Fatal Affray.

We learn that yesterday afternoon, at three o'clock, atColhernlle, in this county, an affray occurred, during which Mr. F. B. Robinson was shot and killed by Mr. B.
