A Northern Abolitionist Ejccted from a Passenger Cur.

A gentleman who came down from Grand Junction yesterday gives us the particulars of an exciting little episode which occurred on the Central Railroad, between Jackson and the former place, Friday. A person, whose name our informant was unable to learn, had taken passage at Jackson, in this State, on the train coining South, and during a conversation between himself and several other passengers, on the all absorbing topic of “John Brown,” the“:rrepressible conflict,” etc., remarked that he was from the North, and very volubly proceeded to denounce the Southern people and their institutions generally, and Gov. Wise and the Virginians particularly, winding up with a vehement eulogy on old John Brown, whom he declared to be a hero and martyr of the first water. The other gentlemen had patiently waited until the Brownite hud done, when one of them seized him by the collar and kicked him to the djjr of the car. He was then shoved on the platform, and another boot application sent him whirling off" the train. The lust seen of the follower of Brown, as the train whizzed rapidly past, was a head buried deep in a mud puddle and a p u’r of legs doing an inordinate amount of spasmodic kicking. Wc did not learn that the rascal broke his neck by the fall, but if such was the case, the country" hasn’t experienced any great loss.— Mem/ihis Argus 4.
