Statement.--A letter from the Secretary of War to J. M. McCue, of Virginia, was published a few days since, denying that any order had been given for the removal of the guns from Bellona Arsenal to Fort Monroe. The Enquirer publishes the following letter, showing that an order had been given: Ordnance office, Washington, March 22, 1861. J. L. Archer, Sup't Bellona Foundry: Sir --You will please forward to Richmond the cannon at your foundry which have been inspected for the United States, with as little delay as practicable; and as soon as they are shipped from that place the amount due on the last inspection will be-paid. The Quartermaster's Department has authorized Messrs. W. D. Colquitt & Co., Ship Brokers, to receive the guns and to attend to the re-shipment, and the delivery had better be made alongside the vessel that is to transport them to Fort Monroe Arsenal, for which the usual amount paid for hauling will be paid to you. Respectfully, I am, sir, Your m

Horrible accident. --Wm. Anderson, an old gentleman sixty years of age, and a prominent citizen of Littsville, N. Y., was killed at Utica, on Wednesday last, by being run over in attempting to lwas standing on the platform and the train had moved off a few feet. The Journal says: Mr. Anderson hurried out with his spectacles in one hand and a roll of bank bills in the other, and attempe rail. James Cole, the brakesman, was standing upon the rear platform of the first car when Mr. Anderson attempted to get on, and seeing him fall, made an effort to seize him, but before he could rest terrible scene he ever witnessed, for he could see, as he tugged at the brake, the body of Mr. Anderson shoved along on the iron rail by the beam of the brake, which would not allow his thighs to pass under the wheel. As Mr. Anderson fell under the car Cole heard him cry out twice, in a loud, distinct, yet frightened tone, "Hold on! hold on!" and then he was silent. He fell with his head and

grasp entirely, which caused his body to swing down between the two cars. The fall wrenched his right hand from its hold, and he fell across the inside rail. James Cole, the brakesman, was standing upon the rear platform of the first car when Mr. Anderson attempted to get on, and seeing him fall, made an effort to seize him, but before he could reach him Mr. A. had lost his hold and fallen beneath the ponderous wheels. Cole instantly sprang to the brake, which he put down with all his power, but with all the effort put forth by him and the engineer, the train moved some fifteen or twenty feet before its motion could be arrested.-- Mr. Cole describes itMr. Cole describes it as the most terrible scene he ever witnessed, for he could see, as he tugged at the brake, the body of Mr. Anderson shoved along on the iron rail by the beam of the brake, which would not allow his thighs to pass under the wheel.

Horrible accident. --Wm. Anderson, an old gentleman sixty years of age, and a prominent citizen of Littsville, N. Y., was killed at Utica, on Wednesday last, by being run over in attempting to leap on a train while in motion. He was standing on the platform and the train had moved off a few feet. The Journal says: Mr. Anderson hurried out with his spectacles in one hand and a roll of bank bills in the other, and attempted to get aboard the first car. He caught hold of the railing of the rear platform of the first car with his right hand, and attempted to seize the iron railing of the other car with his left hand; but his left hand either slipped off or missed its grasp entirely, which caused his body to swing down between the two cars. The fall wrenched his right hand from its hold, and he fell across the inside rail. James Cole, the brakesman, was standing upon the rear platform of the first car when Mr. Anderson attempted to get on, and seeing him fall, made an effor

The Affray in Princess Anne County, Va., in which Wm. Grimstead killed James W. Land, has been mentioned. The quarrel commenced about politics. The Norfolk Herald says: The assault was made by Land, with a knife, on Grimstead, whom he severely cut, which was met by the latter with a bayonet, which he thrust into the Grimstead, whom he severely cut, which was met by the latter with a bayonet, which he thrust into the body of Land, after which they were separated, and it was not known by any of the parties present that either was hurt until they were carried off from the place where the affair happened.--Land, after walking a short distance, said to one of his friends, "I am a dead man," and immediately fell. As soon as possible, medical aid was called, but it proved of little avail, for he died in a very short time. The cut on Grimstead was but slight. We learn that an investigation of the affair was held shortly after, and, out of fifty or more witnesses, not one could testify clearly as to how the wounds on either party were inflicted.--Both of the gentlemen engaged

consents to regard it only as an "act of enthusiasm."--He devotes his whole attention to the reforms which are necessary throughout the empire, and his Polish subjects are as much the objects of his solicitude as are the Russians. But he has a right to expect that his sentiments and intentions shall not be "misunderstood or paralyzed by inopportune or immoderate demands, which he could not confound with the welfare of his subjects." He will not tolerate any serious disturbances, and "nothing can be raised on such a foundation; " for "aspirations which should here seek for support would condemn themselves beforehand." A dispatch from Warsaw says that the Polish deputation was "astounded" at the tone of the Emperor Alexander's reply, which has not abated the prevailing excitement. Prince Gortchakoff unofficially told the deputation that an Imperial manifesto would speedily grant reforms, and received from Count Zamoiski the answer: " We accept; but we are far from being satisfied."

Interesting from Charleston. --The members of the South Carolina Convention visited the fortifications in the harbor of Charleston, Monday, in the steamers Carolina and General Clinch. The batteries played with great effect. Governor Pickens was not in the company, being engaged in more important official business. Great anxiety, says a dispatch, is felt as to the Administration's course about Fort Sumter. If nothing is done soon, the fort will be attacked and captured. The sentiment of the people is entirely in favor of action. The Governor's communication has not yet been acted on. Col. Lamon's return is hourly expected.

s, but I found the ship's jibboom on the beach, together with pieces of burnt timber, staves, &c. The bark Superior, R. D. Woods, master, (Woods owner) of New Bedford, sailed from that port on the 24th June, 1857, made Treary Island on the 12th of September, 1860, and came to anchor there on the same day. On the 13th, 14th and 15th of that month the crew were employed in wooding and watering, and, from the men's statement, were visited by a great number of natives, armed. On Sunday, the 16th, nine of the crew went ashore. The carpenter and two men went to the settlement and were murdered in one of the native huts. The natives then proceeded, in canoes and overland, to the ship, and those who came by land fell in with the remaining six close to the beach, and murdered them.--About 150 natives got on board the vessel and made a rush on the crew, who were all on deck except four, who were in bed. Those on deck were immediately tomahawked, only two escaping by jumping down the main
