SMALL Pox.—The Farmville Journal regrets to learn that

tv Mr. W., several weeks ago.
tub Late difficulty at Bethant College, va.—We
Mve published an account of the recent difficulty at Bethany
.ilegc, Va. The following is an account by Mr. Philip Burns,
'. tree soil gentleman, who was tho cause of it:
The question of slavery had often been publicly debated by
•> iibem and .Southern students previous to Sunday, Noveni
„.r ii, without causing ill feeling on either side, but on that
uv. at the president’s request. Mr. Philip Burns chose for the ,
,1,,'eet of a sermon “The Great Principle of Liberty," and nl- I
i. il to West India emancipation. The excitement became
i.U osp. and a tremendous stamping and hissing, it is alleged,
i, made to silence him. Then about one third of the audi
n-c rushed out with loud cries and imprecations- Stones
r. re hurled against the house, and it was proposed to conduct
C Burns to Buffalo creek, hard by. and baptize him in the
>xme of the “peculiar institution." The mob, however, were
lstratcd in their purpose through the vigilance of Mr. Burns
n. udi The next day about twenty Northern students held a
•irctingand resolved to leave the College, unless these con
noted w ith the mob were publicly reprimanded or expelled.
•a the following day one of the Professors told them that if
y did not return to their classes tin* Faculty had determined
i xpclthemand publish their expulsion in all the 1< adiugpu
ms of the Fnion. Ten of the twenty students remained firm j
she resolution they had passed, and, failing to obtain any i
..inis, they 1> ft Bethany ( ollego."
great Destruction of Phopfutt—Thf. Richmond A.
MW'ii.i.K Railroad Depot in Ruins.—On Saturday oven
:u i»«t, between the hours of seven and eight o'clock, the
ubre roof to the Richmond and Danville Railroad Depot,
a this city gave way from the great weight of snow upon it,
ml falling in crushed out the brick walls, makiug a complete
wreck of the whole building. Thodopot was 22."> feet long on
i.it> west side, 210 feet on the east side, and lHS feet wide, aud
'.••ing covered in by one roof, supported only by small iron
r>d«,presented a wide surface for the falling Snow, which had
accumulated to a depth of several Inches before the accident
wurred. Fortunately no one was in the building at the time,
lailuo lives were, therefore, lost. This depot was erected at a
v’St of #25,000 to tbe company, about two years since and
was one of the largest In the South. When the roof gave way.
he North gable end was thrown out with such a force that the
'•eight of the bricks burst through the South wall of Mr.
Archibald Thomas’ factory,which was injured to the amount of
nreral hundred dollars. It is impossible to estimate the loss of
he company,and to the merchants and farmers who had freight |
a the depot, but we fear it will fall but little short of $.’>0,000.
i* there were in the building, at the time of the occurrence, j
mo 15,000 bushels of wheat, besides hogsheads and cozes of
barco, lots of guano and merchandize of almost every char*
i tor. There were also two or three freight cars crushed by
tie falling timbers, and one of them liternlly crushed into frag
nouts,
Soon after the accident occurred, one of the young inon cm
■loved at tho depot made his way through the mins to the
up freight” dork's office and secured the books. If the snow
• removed at once from off the freight, as wo suppose it will j
be. much loss will be avoided.
Had the accident occurred in tho day. instead of at night, the
! of life would have been frightful, os a number of men aro
■nstantly engaged in receiving and delivering freight during
i tininess hours.
A gentleman residing in the neighborhood says the noise i
was so great when the roof gave way that he felt sure an 1
• arthquake had taken place.—Dirpatch, of the 14fA.
arf'HF Blue Ridgf. Tunnel.—Col. Crozct, in a letter to the
Charlottesville Jeffersonian, says the whole perforation at the
tunnel is 3,GO 1 feet, viz . 1^30 on tho West side, and 1771 on the
Fast. This makes, for the year, 749 feet, which, however, is
a proper criterion for the future progress, as about one
month should be deducted In consequence of a turnout of long
duration. Since that time, that is, in seven months, there lias
’'•’en excavated 492 feet, being a little over 70 feet per month.
1 here remains on this day t372 feet
A LYNCHBURGER abroad.—1The following extract is from
an Oregon paper :
“Our little village presents a most bustling appearance with
the volunteer* encamped in the grove. The smith’s shop
■ langing from morn to eve. expressmen arriving and departing,
and in fact all the noise, confusion and hubhud consequent
upon "great and glorious war." The Douglass County com*
anyof volunteers organized on Saturday, by electing Samuel
Gordon captain, and Sunday morning took up the line of
march for the seat of war.”
t’apt. Gordon is a native of Lynchburg, and brother of our
townsman, J. Newton Gordon. He went from here to Florida
about 1840, emigrated from there to Texas, thence to Galifor- j
ilia, and about two years since went to Oregon. We have
*>' on a private letter from him, in which he says :
“We organized on the 25th ult; travelled 100 miles—SO on
f-ot-joimid the U. 8. troops—and got into a desperate fight
with the Indians—400 whites and about 250 Indians ; we lost 11
' ill" 1 and 27 wounded, and only three wounded from my com
j uiy—they are doing well. We fought two days, w ithout a
thing to eat or a blanket for a sick man. I have nothing but
'•■ ar in wk to give you. The Government is complained of
bitterly. No appropriations have been made, and the
draw is awful upon individuals for the support of tho army."
Murdered.—Mr. David Wood, residing near New Cool
Harbor, Hanover county, w as brutally murdered on Friday
list.
( "L. C. F. M. Garnett, lato Chief Engineer of the Virginia
Hid Tennessee Railroad, has been tendered and has accepted
1 office of Chief Engineer of the HU hmond and York River

^ >t RY Laws.—The committee of tho Senate to w bom was

Editorial Change.—R. W. Lyles. Esq. the editor and
proprietor of the Danville Register, ha* sold the whole os tab
liflhmentto Messrs. Abner Anderson and L. M. Shumaker.—
lTlie PoUtlca of the paper undergo no change.

SEVEN DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE,
Peace Prospects Decreasing.
The steamer America. with date* from Liver
pool to the 5ih of January, arrived nt Halifax m
VV euue*«in\ •'veiling.
I lie great question af war or peace is still un
dectced. Pence prospects are not brighter, as
Russia raises obstacles. The Czar's reply to the
ultimatum oftlie Western powers, hsd not been
received, but w«s expected by thn I8ih inst.
The rates of money wererisingin England,
and bullion whs decreasing.
hsteihaiy reached Petersburg on the 2(>th,
and on the next day laid his propositions before
the Russian cabinet. Count lluol subsequently
| commnn'eated to Prince Cortsclmkoff, at Vien
i "a, the terms on which thn Western Powers
would assent to peuco, stating those terms were
approved by Austria. [These terms have been
already published.]
Russia makes known in Nesselrode's circular
her unwillingness to treat for the neutralization
of the Black Sea. hut it is expected she will ab
solutely refuse the cession of the territory re
quired to keep open the Danube.
Appearances strongly indirale that Austria
will not take the field against Russia unlessas
tun ed of the active support of the German Hand.
Advices from Sweden are very warlike. The
military commanders have received instructions
to have their regiments in the highest state of
efficiency before Spring. The indications are,
that ill accordance with the secret article of the
treaty, Sweden will take the fieid in the Spring.
GortachakoA announces that on the lfithoc
December a detachment of Cossacks defeated a
strong squadron of General Vivian’s cavalry,
near Kersch, and that the English commander
was taken prisoner.
The latest accounts from the Crimea stale
that the Russian troops had been reinf irced by
two regiments of huzzars—also, that large bod
ies of Russian troops were marching from the
C rimea to Bessarabia. There was no intention
however, of evacuating their former position, ns
their places will be filled from the reserves.
Front St. Petersburg accounts say that the
t zarlius directed the commandant of the Finland
and Baltic Provinces to report the means of their
defence to a grand council.
Contracts are advertised for immense (juanti
tics of artillery, stores, cVe. New rifle regiments
nre being enrolled.
FROM CHINA.
A serious difficulty had occurred at Hong Kong
between the American Cnunsul and the local au
thorities in consequence of the captain of the
American ship Reindeer refusing to pay a fine for
nn as-Hult on the carpenter of Ids ship. Consul
Keenan protests against the jurisdiction of the
Court, as the affair took place on hoard an Ameri
can ship.
Advices from India statn that the American
ship \\ averly. with Chinese laborers on hoard,
had p"t into Manilla, to bury- the captain. Borne
trouble on board.the mate shot twoor three.drove
the rest below and fastened them down. He then
went ashore, and when he returned he found that
S.bO of the miserable, creatures had died from suf
focation. The mate and crow were imprisoned
by the Spanish authorities.
The police attempted to imprison the captain,
hut the Consul hurried him aboard 1 he steamer
Powhatan where the superintendent of police fol
lowed. demanding the prisoner.
Captain McClunely declared that lie consider
ed the actiou of the court illegal, and would re
sist by force any attempt of the British authori
ties to exercise jurisdiction over American citi
zens in American ships.
The Captain of the Reindeer afterwards paid
the fine, hut the Consul was committed for trial
on the charge of attempting to rescue the prison
er.
A Grand Council of War is to ho hold in Paris
to collect, interchange and consider all possible
information relative to the war.
COMMERCIAL.
LIVERPOOL, Friday evening.Jnn. 4.—Cotton —
Brown and Shipley quote the market dull and
prices declined }d, principally for middling and
fuir qualities.
Breadstuff's—Richardson A" Spence, and oth
ers quote: Flour has declined Gd. Western Ca
mil 4Us h 40s Gd; Ohio 42s a 42 GJ.
Corn has been in but little speculative de
mand. Yellow 42s a 42 Gd, mixed 41 s GJ.
Halifax. Jan. 17.—I have looked carefully
over the letters, papers and circulars per Ameri
ca, and find that ai! the information regarding
Breaestuffs is unfavorable. They concur in sta
ting that no immediate improvement is expected,
rather that prices must continue to decline. A
large amount of stuff is coming from the Blaek
Sea. Receipts from the Uuited States are also
large and expected to increase.
The Manchester trade was much depressed.
Money more stringent.
1 here seems to be u growing desire in France
and England for peace, if it enn he procured on
c msisteor terms. Russia is looked upon as more
stubborn than ever.
- f «
Later from Mexico.
New Orleans.Jan. 12. —By the arrival of the
steamer Texas, from Vera Cruz, with dates to
the Silt iust. we have further intelligence from
the city of Mexico.
Political affairs were in the same confused
condition.
Heavy northers have swept over the Gulf late
ly doing much damage.
The British hark Dagger went ashore on
Christmas day near Vera Cruz and was totally
lost.

American Commissioners at Paris, respecting
French Spoliations of American commerce, was
also offered by Mr. Clayton and adopted.
The presiding officer was authorized to appoint
a committee on printing, after w hich the house
adjourned to Monday.
liot'KB - Mr. Carlile made a speech to show
that the failure to organize grows out of tho dis
turbance of the compromise measure and the
pnssnge of the Nebraska act, the latter giving
food to heartless agitators.
Washington, Jan. 16.—The following is the
vote for Speaker on the last billot to-clav,
Ranks 88, Richardson 68; Fuller 2!). Penning

^ OITANO BOWER.—We confidently recommend this Jfa
chine to farmers. Hsvtng but little machinery, it la durable
and easily kept in order, and sows regularly any quantity
Grain or Guano desired. Frank Ruffin* Esq., Editor of
Southern Planter, thus comments on It i
“We are so perfectly convinced of Its great value In effiela*
working capacity, cheapness, durability and simplicity of con
struction, that we do not hesitate to recommend it to the pubUa
—a thing which it Is known we do not ofton venture upon.—
Again, one horse works the machine with perefect ease. II
sows a breadth of ten feet as fast as a horse can walk, and
carrying two bushels at a time, does not require as many stop
pages as are necessary by a man who seeds by hand. Thf
Seeding, too, is entirely independent of the wind, and wM done.
with us as well during vary high winds, which prevailed most,
of the time, as during a calm, because the seed aaa delivered
so close to the ground. We not only recommend the ms china,
therefore, to every farmer, bnt we urge tiros* to buy It, not am
Mr. Seymour's account, who is nothing to ns, bnt their own.
