A most diabolical outrage occurred abont three iniles from this city on the Greenville and Columbia Raliroad, as the regular passenger train, which left this city yesterday for Greenville, neared Smito’s Branch, at Ex-Gribble, the engineer observed aman walking on the trestiework armed with a double-barreled shotgun, When the train came up with him he stepped off the track and, de- liberately drawing his gun to his shoulder, dis- charged both barrels at the engineer and freman ia rapid succession, The engineer, who had no idea the villa was in eurnest when he tevelled the gun at him, stood and received the contents of the gun full in the face, not even moving his head ‘within the carriage in rear of the engine. Beth his eyes were destroyed, ana the buckshot with which the gun was loaded are said to have penctrated the brain. Both the firemen were also badly wounded. The train was at eace stopped and reversed, and as it put back towards this city the assassin stood coolly reloading his gun, but did not make any other’ attempt to tire, The euiployés on the wain being unarmed made no attempt to arrest the villain, The engineer will die, and the firemen are badly wounded, The outrage created the most intense excitement among the passengers.

As I informed you in a former letter, Mr. Gladsione’s opimions on the Italian queanens recently addressed to an bisa member of Parita- inent, gave offence to Catholics and Protestanie, and, In my opinion, contributed more than apy tuing else to bring bis goverament into disfavor among us, Then the \ INHUMAN BANISHMENT OF THE POLITICAL PRE SONERS after several years of incarceration, completel: alienated the Dational party from the present gov- ernment.
