DISABUOM FEARFUL ADVE ALTERS. TWO Men Imprisoned on ensnd War In ir tlaelatito iiiVer.for Irwy Hours. The. Fremont (Nebraska) Tribune of t aeh 18th g,ives the following exciting account f peril- Om adventure of two men on the Platte river: Through the kindness of Dr. L. J. Abbott, we are placed in possession of the following facts: , On baturday afternoon Dr. Bell, who le a young physician of promise recently located at North Bend, received an urgent call to visit a patient on c h o e s so ngw aaids eh o ig f h t l h y e danger uve, r t . hA D lt r h ., o prompt ' to calls of duty, in company with Mr. B. F. Ransford as guide, started across on the Ice. The south bank was reached in safety, and Sunday the Dr. and Mr. Ransford started on their return. It will be remembered that Sunday was one of the coldest days of the season, mercury stood live degrees below zero all day, to which must be added a fierce wind from the northwest and blinding snow drifts. Arriving at the Platte the crossing was found extremely hazardous, as the previous thaw had weakened the ice• and the wind threatened to force It loose from the banks every minute; but the stream must be crossed, and the two men started. When a little over half the distance had been traveled it was discovered that the ice had broken loose from the northern bank, and was then moving down stream; here was a critical situation, and from which the only hope of escape lay in retracing their steps; back they started, only to find that the ice on the Southern shore had also broken loose,and themselves afloat OD the treacherous waters of the Platte. with only a few inches of rotten lee between them and a watery grave. In recrossing a small sand bar, about 20x30 feet surface bad been noticed. Their only hope of escape now directed their steps to it. and after some little effort both were success ful in getting thereon. Aided by wind and cur rent, the ice was soon rushing down stream, and the two unfortunates, without fire, food, or any thing but ordinary clothing to protect them from the bitter cold and piercing wind, found them selves prisoners on a email sand-bar, with no probability of their situation becoming known, or hope of succor reaching them even if help stood on the bank. The sufferings of these two men from this time (about 2P. M.) until Monday morning about 9 o'clock, cannot be described; but some idea may be formed of their perilous situation; several times during the night the ice gorged, and the water rose so as to cover the top of the bar from five to six inches deep, and after thus wetting them the gorge would break and leave their wet feet again exposed to the wind and cold, and of course they would freeze in a few minutes. This occurred several times during the night. Mr. Rumford, who Is a large and powerful man, kept in motion all the night long, bat Dr. Bell, who is of rather delicate constitution, was unable to keep np violent exercise, and it required all his own exertions and Ransford's to prevent him from freezing to death. At daylight on Mon day Bamford decided to make an attempt to pro cure aid, and started to wade from the oar to the south bank. The water was found to be only up to his chin, but at the shore some small pieces of ice atilt adhered, yet by persistent working he succeeded in getting up the bank, and there he stood, miles from help, and wet through. His team was still standing where he left it the day before, and hastily hitching up, proceeded to the nearest house and secured assistance, and about nine o'clock Dr. Bell was rescued. The injuries of the two men are quite severe. Dr. Bell had both feet., ears, face and right hand badly fro ze n. Bansford's face and feet are also badly frozen, but hopes are entertained that amputation will not be necessary in either case. CRIME. The Murd est offer off Gener aurdereral Hindman—Ar r the f. The Memphis Avalanche of the 18th Instant says: "The particulars of the horrid murder of Gen. T. C. Hindman, in Helena, Ark., last fall, are yet fresh in the public mind. While the General was sitting, after tea, in the midst of his family, the stillness of the air was broken by the sharp crack of a grin. A ball whizzed through a win dow, and Gen. Hindman fell forkvard from his chair, mortally wounded. "Several weeks before Gen. Hindman's mur der, a notorious negro outlaw, who had murdered black and white men and ravished women, was hanged by a mob, after a desperate affray, in which a Deputy Sheriff was murdered. This was in September. "Early Tuesday morning two negroes, con fined in the Helena jail on trivial charges, wore conversing in their cell. A few words spoken above the low tones employed, attracted the at tention of another negro, an inmate of an adjoin ing cell These told of a plot and a murder. "The two prisoners and seven other blacks had been members of the gang of the lynched outlaw, and all had sworn to wreak a terrible vengeance for his death. In council it was de liberately plotted to burn Helena and murder General Hindman and several other citizens. The night for its execution was the night on which Hindman was murdered. A negro man, named Charles Porter, accompanied by one of the narrators and another, went into Flinduran's yard. Porter was selected to fire the fatal shot. The remainder of the plot failed. Those depu tized to fire the town could not summon suffi cient courage. "The listener to these revelations lost little time in communicating them to the jailor. The two prisoners were taken out and questioned. One of them expressed willingness to make a con fession, and was taken before a magistrate. He told the entire story. -Since the above was written we have learned of the arrest of all the negroes—nine in all—con nected with this horrible affair." TIM CMIIIIOII MILITANT it now Among the Members of a Pitts burgh congregation. The Pittsburgh Chronicle of last evening gives an account of a row in the Hopewell Church, in Findley Township. Allegheny Co. This church was formerly an Old School Presbyterian body, presided over by the Rev. Wm Hunter, pastor. During the war political feeling became very month excited among the members of the congre gation. The Republican members numbered the most, but the Conservative members had at their bead the pastor, Mr. Hatt ter. The Republicans frequently took occasion to complain that the pastor did not express enough sympathy in his prayers and sermons for our soldiers and the cause they repre sented. These complaints drew forth answers in kind, and a feeling of no inconsiderable bitterness was developed. Affairs reached such a pass that the Synod took cognizance of the matter, iand Mr. Hunter was dismissed. Thereupon he became a New School Presbyterian and the democratic members of the church followed his example. The church, divided against itself, held services of each kind in the church building, each branch having worship on its own account, with out any definite understanding with the other. Last week each division appointed service for the same hour on Sunday last. The Old School members (Republican) entered the church in force en Saturday night and remained there until morning with the doors locked. In the morning the New School members gathered outside and tried to effect an entrance. A siege and a defence bellowed. At length a shovel was thrown by one of the outside party through a window into the building. Then another outsider broke out a panel of the door, and Mr. John Swearingen, ono of the New School members, tried to enter through the opening. He was attacked from the inside with a poker. A general row now ensued, and we be lieve no religions services wore held that day in the church. On Monday Mr. Swearingen made information before Justice Moody, charg ing John and Robert Wilson, father and eon, and George and Allred Barns, also father and son, with felonious assault and battery. The parties were arrested by Constable Maslow, of the other party, and held for court. Mr. John Wilson made information before Alderman Butler, charg ing Mr. Swearingen, Rev. Hunter, Constable Rnslow and others, with forcible entry. Officer Anderson, of Mayor's police, arrested the amused. They, also, were held for court. We hear the cases were before the Grand Jury to-day. —Victor Emmanuel some years ago promised to endow twenty poor girls of Naples with $6OO each On their marriage.

Two Perseus Murdered for their Life Ilneurauce Popers:--itemarktable caption by One of tile Victims. . • HAGERSTOWN', March 25.—Mrs. Mary E. Row land and Charles Carrell; a negro, aro on trial for the murder of. Andrew Rowland, a respecta ble farmer, who Hired near the Sharpibnrg turn pike. On the morning of October 19 Mr. Row land was found dead in his bed, his skull having been crushed In. Mrs. Rowland's previous his tory having been bruited about, she was arrested on the morning of her husband's funeraLand her husband'a insmance of $5,000, in the Knicker bocker oflice, was withheld. Mrs. Rowland is the daughter of Mr. Charles F. Gelttricks, s of , Hagerstown. She is about twenty-seven years of age, and has been married five or six years, but has no children. She appears in court•dressed in deep mourning, and has a quiet, modest,and oven lady-like demeanor. Be fore her marriage, Mery Liz Geluricks (as she was.called) belonged to that class of young ladies who are designated as "last." Subsequent to her marriage, a drunken army officer who had been cashiered established himself on intimate terms with Mrs. Rowland, and, being entirely without funds, he was by her subsisted for some months, with the know ledge and apparent acquiescence of her husband. He was a young man of magnificent pretensions, and flattered her with the promise that he would make her his heir. On May 27, 1866, he made a will, which was duly attested, bequeathing to "Mary Elizabeth Geluricks Rowland, wife of Andrew Rowland, all his personal estate, which consisted of a policy of life insurance, numbered 14,978, American Life Insurance, paid up as per petual, for $lO,OOO. The testator seems to have quarrelled with the husband afterward, and ho added a codicil, in which he set forth with great emphasis that the $lO,OOO was to go to Mrs Row land as her own personal property, and to the heirs of her body. In the early summer of 1867 the poor fellow's bod' was found in the Chesapeake and Ohio canal. The legacy, how ever. to Mrs. Rowland, on which she had based such extravagant expectations, proved to be a myth. No such policy as that mentioned in the will was in existence. In the summer of 1868 she formed an intimacy with another young man, who, with her, has come to grief. Re calls him self Harry Weaver. After the murder had been committed, in the course of the Coroner's inves tigation, it was shown that Mrs. Rowland and Rowland, Weaver had hey to Mr.. wland, and that ey cons had pired actuallypoison adminis tered poison to him. Weaver was arrested in Pittsburgh, and an indictment is pending against him and Mrs. Rowland for an attempt to poison. • FERNANDO PO A Penal Settlement of Spain. The following account,by Paul B. Da Chaillu,ol Fernando Po, the island to which Spain is send• ing its political prisoners arrested in Cuba, wit be read with interest: The island of Fernando Po is situated on the we stern coast of Africa, in the Bight of Biafra, which is the extreme end of the Gulf of Guinea. Its southern extremity is situated at three degrees twenty-five minutes north of the equator, and its longitude is eight degrees thirty-five minutes east of Greenwich. Its nearest point to the mainland is about forty-five miles. The highest point of the island is a little more than eleven thousand feet, while its rival, the Cameroon Mountain, situated four degrees north, is more than thirteen thousand feet. The Cameroon Mountains were ascended by Captain Burton, the distinguished discoverer of Lake Tanganica, a few years ago. The Cameron and Fernando are decidedly of volcanic origin, and so are two islands of Princes and St. Thomas, which are not far distant. The island of Fernando Po was discovered by the Portuguese in the year 1971, who coded it to Spain in the year 1778. No European settlement was ever made on the island till the year 1827,and this was made by the English, who at that time knew not that the Spaniards had the right of possession. In the year 1827 the English established on the island a coaling station so that the& war steamers which were engaged in prosecution of the pre vention of the slave trade in the Bight of Biafra, might coal there and get provisions. The settle ment was called Clarence, and the bay was called by the same name. Part of the liberated slaves captured from the slavers and other liberated slaves from Sierra Leone were brought there, and when I visited the Island the first time tne population of Clarence might have been a thousand. There was a good deal of sickness among the negroes. A few traders made the headquarters of the establishment there, for Clarence is an excellent port for shipping palm oil, the water being deep and well sheltered from tornadoes. Vessels can almost touch the shore. Clarence was then considered a kind of entre pot, to store palm oil until it was shipped home. One of the traders was named Governor of the colony by the English. The freed slaves began to plant orange and lemon trees and other fruit trees, which were brought from the West Indies, and they made a living by selling them to the numerous men-of war which came to coal at the island; and ba nanas, pine-apples, sweet potatoes, ground-nuts and yams were also products which met a ready sale. The colony went on ; the blacks were somewhat prosperous, at any rate far more so than than the natives living on the Continent. The Spaniards, some ten years ago, thinkimr, that the English were doing well, claimed the island, took possession of it, signalized their ap pearance by bringing a large number of monks and sisters of different orders, who began to die very shortly after their arrival. Soldiers wore also sent, and a Spanish Governor; then a penal settlement was formed. The liberated Afrie who had been somewhat Christianized by Pro testanttmissiormaies, began to perceive that they could not worship God according to their own consciences. Their meetings in their churches were forbidden, though they were allowed to re tain their. Bibles , and meet in their houses. The convicts are employed to make roads, cut trees, work hard in the hot sun, and of coarse the climate makes short work of them. Nothing can be more picturesque and beautiful than the island of Fernando Po. Hills after pills are cov ered to the very summit with magnificent trees, which come down to the sea, and little streams of most delightful water pour dd wet from the mountains, and Fernando Po would be a most charming island to live in if it was not on account of its deadly climate. The natives of the island number about five thou sand and are called Boobees. The malaria causes fever, and many die of it. The rains are heavy and continuous, the heat is very great, dysentery end liver complaints are also common, and the negroeswill be the only people who will be able to live on the island for a long time to come. The great nuknbor of graves testify to the great mortality among the Whites, and the transporta tion of these political prisoners to Fernando Po is an outrage against humanity and a disgrace to civilization.

Eight competitors contended for the champion sbip,all of whom acquitted themselves creditably, while several manifested so much skill in the management of the velocipede as to elicit fre• quest and loud plaudits. Under the rules of the club the winner of the medal is to hold it against all corners for the space of six months. If at the end of that time he still maintains his supremacy as a "ridist," it becomes his personal property. All contests for the cham pionship are to come off at the headquarters of the club, a week's notice in at least two daily papers being required in advance. The most ex citing part of the contest was the feat riding, each contestant being required to ride twice round the rink arena, a distance of something over a fourth of a mile.

TEMPERANCE DEMONSTRATION.—Last evening, a meeting of the friends of temperance was held in the lecture room of the Second Reformed Church (late Dr. Talmage's). The proceedings were opened with prayer by J. P. Irvin, after which addresses were made by Hiram Ward, Thomas M. Coleman, Joseph Sutler and Charles Heritage. A letter was received from Rev. R. A. Cleveland, of West Philadelphia, regretting his inability to be present, and indorsing the movement. The exercises were inter sperses, with singing. Similar meetings are being held weekly at Rev. Dr. Shepherd's Church, Rev. Dr. Adams's, Seventeenth and Filbert streets, and at the Court-house, Chestnut street below Sixth. Other churches will soon respond, and the cause of temperance, so long neglected, will be advocated by the pastors. Hundreds of per sons have signed the pledge at these meetings, and permanent good has been thus secured to many families. WE ARE naturally slow in waking up to the fact that winter is over and that we are already on the threshhold of the second spring month.
