Yesterday after noon as a long line of carriages were returning from Green Lawn, the drivers of several of them took it into their heads to indulge in racing. When in the vicinity ol Emrich's soap factory one ol the racing carriages, containing two men and afe male, lost a wheel, by which the entire party was thrown out. The horse became frightened and ran on a short distance, when he came in collision with a spring wagon, in which were seated a woman and two children. A general overturning ol both vehicles and the tail of a horse 11 1 lowed the collision, when it was discovered that the woman who had been diiving tbe spring was held to the ground by the fall en horse. Sne was extricated with considerable difficulty, but fortunately sustained no injuries beyond severe bruises. None others wereii jured. Runaway horse No. 2 was captured when about entering the Harrisburg bridge. Death of thk Mauuos County Treasurer. A large number of t e Iriends of Mr. Horace Putnam, a prominent citizen ol West Jefft rson, and tbe Treasurer of Madi son county, were greatly shocked yester day to learn of his death the day before, at his residence, from spotted fever. Mr. Putnam was in our city on Monday transacting business with several citizens, and appeared to be in excellenthealtb and spir its. With one he spoke encouragingly of his prospects for re-election to office the coming fall, and seemed full of life and hope. We learn that on Tuesday he was feeling quite unwell, and sent lor Dr. Car ter, of this city. On tbe arrival of the Doctor at Mr. Putnam's residence, and af ter 6eeiog his patient, he expressed tbe opinion that the case was a hopeless one, which opinion was sadly confirmed by the result. Mr. Putnam died in eighteen hours after bis tin attack. Ho will be buried at West Jtflerson this morning at 10 o'clock Arrest cf an Express Rouble. We are informed by an officer of the company that one week ago last Tuesday the office ot the Adams' Express Company in Millwood, Guernsey county, was entered and robbed of a number of small packages of money. The ticket office ol the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, in the same building, was entered at the same time. Suspicion rested upon a newly married man in the vicinity, named Williams, who was closely watched, and fin ally arrested. The result of a preliminary trial was his commitment to the county Jail in Cambridge, where he now lies awaiting a final trial, which will in all probability consign him to tbe care of the officers at the penitentiary here. The coolness of the man Williams is worthy ol note. Some time since he stole a horse from a widowed woman In the town of Cumberland, Guernsey county, rode him to Zinesvillp, and advertised blin for sale in the papers of that place, over hi proper name. ISTF.RNAL RaVEKUK THE AOBACCO Scrap Question. The regulations of the late Commissioner of Internal Revenue, Mr. Rollins, have heretofore forbidden cigar manufacturers selling scraps, refuse aud clippings, unless tbey gave bond as tobacco manufacturers, and paid special tax as such . The requirement was an exceedingly vexatious and oppressive one, and consequently occasioned great murmuring. Commissioner Delano, in a letter to Assessor Strong, of Buffalo, a few days since, rules differently from his predecessor. He says: Dealers in manufactured tobacco, who have on band scrap tubacco which they sell for use' or consumption as smoking tobacco, are required to pack and stamp the same before sale, but they will not be required to pay special tax and give bond as manufacturers of tobacco tor so doing. Dealers in leaf tobacco who put up for use or consumption scraps, waste or deposits ot tobacco rt suiting from the handling of leaf, would be regaided. under the 50 it) section of the act ol July 20, 1S63 as manufacturers of tobacco, and ate liable to pay special tax anil give bonds as such. A dealer who makes it a nartof bis busi ness to cut plug into smoking toba. co must pack aud stamp the same as required by law. Tbe law imposes a tax of 16 cents per nnnnd on all refuse, scraps aud sweeoiuifs ot tobacco, and rt quires tnat it shall be put up in packages ot two.iour, eigtit and sixteen ounces each. Cigar manufacturers, who do not make a business ot putting up for use or consumption, scraps, waste, clippings, etc, but simply all the scraps and refuse which accumulate from . their business as cigar manufacturers, and ivhich are luuidental to such business. will not be required to pay a special tax as tobacco manufacturers, or comply with tht other requirements ot law rilattng to to-bbeco manufacturers, except tuoae proviso js wblcb relate to packing and stamping tneir waste scraps, Bweepliig?,&e ,when sold or offertd for sale lor use or consumption. - Since the law requires such tobacco to he stamped before tle or removal l.r consumption or use, there will be no objection to Collectors selling stamps fortius purpose to anv cigar manufacturer who has paid a special tax and given bonds as required by law. . Gband Oroax Concert. Mr. Gemun- der, of this city, is Just now completing lor the Presbyterian Church at Springfield, one ot the finest organs evei built la this country. In order to exhibit the many ex cellencies ol this magnificent work of art to tne people of tbe Capital, aud at tbe same time to render assistance to the worthy artist who is still su Bering from the severe injuries he recently sustained, the citizens ot Columbus have tender d to Mr. Getuunder an Organ Concert, to be given lor his benefit, at the Opera House, on Friday eveuinz, May 29tb.

Tlie Westmoreland had just commenced receiving for New Orleans, and had only a smau amount ot cargo on board Nine bales of cotton and seventy bales oi rags ior tjnameu CC woods, discharged on the whart trom the Darling, and at tne owner s risk, weie partially burned. Incidents connected with the burning of tne steam uoats ami tneir cargoes at our whart yesterday morning, show how dan gerous delays sometimes are. One party coin pit tea a snipment of about nlteen hun dred dollars on oneof the bouts, and had his bills ot lading signed about 5 o'clock. The insurance company, with which he was In the habit oi placing his risks, not being on tns direct route home, be con lU'leJ to seiid in his proposition for insurance the next morning. The next morning there was no property to insure. Another party had about one thousand dollars in value on board one of the boats. It was only a pirt oi tne snipment be was making, llinatl intended insuring all the next day wnen tue shipment was completed out an not tiouiv any company of hi intention, so that whatever might be on Doard would be insured. His deity cost him about one thousand dollars. Five par ties irom down-river towns were purcbas ing at one house, anil all shipping by the same ooat. Three or them Insured, and two said they would decide about insuring the next day, as the boat would not leave before that time. The three had their bills duplicated yeter.1ay, and their goods will go lorwara by Saturday's boat, the insur auce company paying the bills. The other two return without their goods, having been new customers, buying for ca-b, and not prepared to ask lor credit. There are doubtless many other cases showing the uauger ot delay in attending to luatii a nee. The total loss on the steamers and car- 2oes will uot exceed $157.000 $132 000 on the boats and $25,000 on the cargo s, with a total insurance o' $93 oOO $S7 500 on the bouts, and $6 000 on cargo. When we con sider the fact that not a single life Is knovvu to nave been lost, and that th steamers with the txception ot the Cheyenne and Clifton, were all without freight, the con-tlagrat.on is not so disastrous, as compared i to similar nres in be. iotus ana else where. The loss talis principally ou Cin cinnati unuerwriters, who have been very uniortuuate during tue past three years. It has been definitely ascertained, as an nounced in vest-rdav's Commercial, tha the fire originated in the nursery ol the i niton, ana was aiscoverea by the chain bermaid, who uotitlcd the watchman, bu too late to prevent its spread and destruc tion of six steamers. Our tire deDartmeu rendered most excellent service, and by hard work prevented the dimes from spreading beyond the Silver Spray, which was slightly burned.

We had wandered for many hours through tangled forests of Tropical shrubs and trees, some of them emitting a most delicious and iuvigorating odor, when we suddenly came upon a large and well cultivated plantation, in the center of which were several buildings. Enuring these we found them to be the "press houses," 6tllls, &c, where tbe sugar cane Is crushed for the manufacture of St. Croix Ruin. Over 100 Coolies were at work, and the smell from the fermenting vats was very exhilarating aud pleasant. We were shown through the entire establishment, and learned that all the rum here produced was shipped to Messrs. P. H. Drake & Co., New York, to be made into tneir celebrated Plantation Bitters. The peculiar good effects of this Rum which is the purest and btst in the world are well known. Not a single case of Dyspepsia, Fever and Ague, Consumption, or any such disease can be found on this Itlaud, (except of invalids come here lor their health, and they are almost always cuied). Combined with Calisaya Bark, Cascarilla, and other important ingre-d'ents, tlws Rum becomes Plantation Bitter ; and surely no finer Tonic and general Family Remedy was ever seen. Tue combination of these Bitters was first discovered here many years ago. and all the Natives swear by Plantation Bitters, and say, "there is nothing like it."

Upon his arrival there pistols weie pointed at his bead and death seemed certain, but the firm stand taken by the colored people saved his lite. The only charge against him was that he was a Radical.
