25, 1878. Judging from its large circulation here, the largest of any North Carolina paper, and the complimentary remarks made about it, on all sides, the News is extremely popular in our town. Norfolk is full of North Carolinians, and has been largely built up by North Carolina's contribution' of her population and her It is the port of a large part of your people. The remarks of so influential a paper as the News in favor of a railroad from Raleigh to Plymouth, the re-opening of Nag's head and the consequent making Plymouth serve thet purpose Norfolk now does, in order to keep your capital and population in your own borders, has attracted wido-spread attention With us. The plan is practicable of course, and must one day be carried out.

If we were traitors we met you in the open field, and staked our lives upon the justice of our cause. If the Returning Board and their abettors were traitors to republican libeity they, with perjury on their lips, with forgery on their hands and usurpation in their hearts, under cover of darkness stole away the priceless jewel of Constitutional Liberty, and will go down to history linked in infamy with the blackest traitors in the tide of time.

Richmond Dispatch, Feb.26.1i.; The North-ward bound passenger train on this road which left Richmond on Sunday night, met with' an accident Dy which four persons were injured, one subsequently dying of the' wounds re- 0i ved. The circumstances and causes el the sad affair are as follows conductor observed the bell-pord shak ing, as it it were pulled, and getting up, went to the rear platform 6f the la dies' car, when he discovered that the two sleeping cars had become detached, from 1 he train. He remained, on the plati'o some moments in the hope that liie motion of the two 'sleepers wo-iui soon be spent, and he could then stop the train, go back, and pick up. the portion of hip train. Following strictly, however, the regulations for the i mining of the train, the Conduc tor kept his place upon the platform until the train.

After it was relighted he went back upon, the platform, where he had been standing but a moment, when some one in" tb either' end of the train struck the bell, or signalled. thengV neer with a lantern; The train slacked up, aud finally came to a standstill.

The conductor jumped down upon the ground, and, "as- he did so, heard the ring ot the wheels of the two sleepers as tuey rolled along upon the steel rails. Knowing that the cars would be down upon him aery speedily, he signalled the engineer to go ahead, and then got upon the cars again: The train -moved on, and was increasing its speed. momentarily, when the two sleepers, weighing probably 125,000 pounds, "coming' down the "grade at a rapid rate, struck the' rear eud-or the fli-Melass caiy smashing the bumpers of al of Ihe. passenger coaches, and seri ously injuring the lollowing persons, who had gone out upon the rear platform of the second class car, next to the forward end of the to see what was thq cause of the stoppage of the train W.

The officers of the road and passengers were using their best endeavors to relieve him, but tpe cars were so tightly locked that it Was njt 'until an engine had been brought into requisition and a chain at tached to the coach and the car pulled off, that he could be taVjn out.

I The accident was one of those unfortunate things which could hardly have hAfln avoided, but one for which the company is in no way responsible. In deed, the Fredericksburg road is generally free from accidents, and it has been many years since a death has oc curred on that road from this cause. I A (Singular Petition I (From the N. T.

Indeed, it has been a winter of and already the maple trees on streets and avenues are beginning to exhibit their swelling buds, so that, unless the winds of March nip the present promise, we may anticipate an early Spring opening.

Raihisford, an English wended my way, in the morning, to Trinity Church (Episcopal). I ooafess to disappointment. I do not afjCct the seriscdidiidl style of preaching, while I do, admire the emotional, but I draw a strong and wide mark of demarcation between the two. Mr. Rainisford's style is decidedly of the former class, and, in my judgment at least, is not calculated to move, to impress, or to convince.

In the afternoon, a long stroll up the Avenue and through the Northwestern' portion of the city, (where, by the way, you get the fullest idea of the amazing growth, in population and architectural elegance, of this beautiful city,) brought me, at the hour of Vespers, to St. Au-gustin Roman Catholic Church -(colored). The church building is, in exterior appearance and internal decoration, one of the handsomest in Washington. It was densely packed, at least one-half of the congregation being composed of fashionably dressed white people, male and female. The Roman Catholic Church seems to have been very active and successful in the proselyism of the negro element here.

The priest is white, of an Italian the acolytes are all black. The organist, in charge of a magnificent organ, is white, but the choir is composed exclusively of colored persons. You and who have spent our lives in the South, know that, in certain rude sense, the negro is a child of song," with a native and intuitive perception- of harmony; but I had never until yesterday, that his musical taste or talents, unless in very exceptional cases, could be cultivated into bo high a degree of artistic' perfection. I have rarely heard the highest and most elaborate style of music more exquisitely rendered. There were voices, male and female, almost as finished as if they had been under the training of a professional impressario, and I listened to them with mingled feelings of adinira-tion and amazement.

The.silver-bill goes to the President to-day. It will soon be the of thai land, with or without a veto; but it wiU be under protest, perhaps. Tfie sub-committee of trie House, to revise and arrange the mode of Presidential voting, report to-day a plan which, it is said, is unanimously approved. It dispenses with Electors; each State will have the same number of Presidential votes that it has Sena- ators and Representatives in Congress; voters will vote directly for President and the returns will be counted by State officers, as are other returns, and forwarded to the Vice-President by the Secretary of State. This will give each candidate an electoral vote in the same ratio as the popular vote he received, to a fraction.

The fifth annual re-union of the Na tional Association of the survivors of the Mexican war, recently in session in Baltimore, appointed a committee of representatives from the various States to go before the Pension Committee of both Houses ot uongress and solicit speedy action in behalf of their old com-panions-in-arms. The Committee will meet this city to-morrow, the dele gation from JNorth Carolina consisting of O. R. Smith and Col.

Our Women's Physical Ednca tion. lork 'Times.) what is true of one generation -is very likely to be thought true of the next.

We are as slow to recognize the decline of an old habit as the growth of a new. one. We have heard so much of our women's indisposition to exercise, that we have accepted it as a fact Of to-day, which assuredly it is not Thev no longer stay in doors from morning to night it, is questionable if they have ever done so wnen.the weather is pleasant they no longer re fuse to breathe, the, open air they no longer decline to walk even a short dis tance tney no longer insist on anving when they eo out at all. JNevertneiess, these charges are incessantly made against American women: particularly those who live in cities, and much of their physical fragility and most of their nilments are ascribed to such They are compared or contrasted with from mere force of repetition, and part; from lack of opportunity to disprove them. The truth is that American women.

whatever they may have done or fane to do hitherto, now. exe.cise a great deal, and are si" very fond of fresh air that they will not do without it. No people, unless the better class of English, so insist on pure air as we do. It is absolutely indispensable to We will have it at any price; we will sacri fice a deal of convenience and comtort to secure it. The French Italians, Spanish, and Germans care far less lor It than we.

When their climate win allow, they like to dine and seek pleas ure under the sky; but tney are nos after our fashion, in favor of ventilation, as their residences, halls, and theatres abundantly testify. They can breathe with satisfaction an atmosphere that we cannot aid would not endure. As to exercise, such as walking, rid ing on horseback, and the like, only the educated and well-to-do Eugliih women assume to compete with our women. In fact, we believe that the Americans, particularly the city brd, walk more than their English sisters. In London and other large towns of Great Britain these hardly go anywhere on loot, de pending on conveyance of some Kina almost entirely, while American women here, in Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, San Francisco, and other cities, walk miles without thinking anything ot it.

It is in the main our city women who are addicted to pedes trian performances, not our country women who have little to tempt them forth; our rural regions being for the most part devoid of the smoothness, finish, and attractiveness of English landscape. English "women do their walking in the American women do most of theirs in town, because country life is the larger and better portion of life in England, while, until recently, it has been rather incidental with us. Of late, however, our women have begun co spend three, four, and five months of the year out of the city, and to employ much of their time on foot. They can now be seen every season making long pedestrian excursions by the lake, at the seaside, near quiet nooks, aud among the mountains, ihe Latin or the German women are generally as disinclined to walk in the conn- try as in town, (we except, of course, the peasantry and the lower classes,) driving well-nigh invariably when they want out-door exercise. We are told unremittingly of the feats of English women in the Tyrol, Switzerland, Northern Italy, and other high districts, and that they put to shame the fair, but pale, puny Americans, who look with envy and amaze ment at the feminine moun taineers.

This may have been, it probably was so, once; at least to a degree, though it is not so now; nor has it been for the last fifteen or twenty years. American women have grown to be remarkable pedestrians and climbers, aud very sturdy ones, too, as tourists in the Engadine, the Rhetian Alps, the valleys of Chamounix, and Zermatt, the region about-' the Italian lakes, and Swiss passes can bear witness. Who has not seen American maidens and matrons dojng the Jardin, the Grands Mulets, Tete Noire, alpen- stocK in hand, when -JBiUaiisn maideas and matrons-were borne on chairs, or mules, or ponies? The sight is not at all uncommon, and is growing less uncommon every season. American women are built for excursions and ascensions, it may be said, being slight, ner vous, elastic, and enduring, while the English woman, prone, after her youth has gone, to stoutness, phlegm, and sluggishness, cannot conveniently cope witn rough ways and snowy steeps. it is too late to arraign American wo men as a breed of invalids, hostile to exercise, out-door liie, and physical development.

They have ceased to follow the ioolish and harmful habits of then- mothers and grand-mothers. The members of this generation at least have educated and are educating the body have come to regard health as one of the first essentials. They have learned. many of thenv to skate, to swim, to row, and each year more and more are learning these things. They have started on new courses they are truly ashamed of their past, and will so nse the future that their British cousins must be alert not to be outstripped in the race for physical well-being.
