The Grant organs who arc constantly kept on, the defensive in this compaign, aro endeavoring to ward off public at tention toward their own candidate in re spect to ! his' known intemperance, by nseing same of their "rnre cunning" on the Liberal tickdt. Some'f their organs, knowing their inability to bluff down the facts, havefittempted to ride over them, by saying, that "Grant though drunk all the time, will be a. better President than Greeley, though Bober: . 11118 we quote from a Massachusetts paper, in Mr. Wil son's district. Thi.s is their best argument "on -that line" as far as it goes, hut it won't go very, far with decent men.— Another attempt is in charging B. Gratz Brori-with being "boozy drunk" at .New Haven, hoping, to ' - put in, iileint" for time in that Way. G`rantites„ meet 'all facts presented, by saying that therMithor is a Greeley man and they won't believe it, We are intw prepared ttr give; them evidence as re gards Mr. Browns' habits, from at Gtent source of- the most rabid and radical kind, which is none' other than the Missouri Democrat, a, red hot Grant 'organ, but which;unlike the Montrose Republican, is published at. the home of _Mr. Brown, where falsehood would not pay. The @towing extract is 'taken from quite a .. , .IVog Nog:, 'placid sketch of Mr. - Brown pd or. his sacoessful career, and .hie icknowledged ability both, as a statesman "and as former editor. of that paper. It says: "Gov. Brown is a slight-bnilt, man, perhays under" the Medium height, with sanguine complexion, hair Una whiskers red. Somebody has suggested than his red hair comes front the Brown and hii3. brains from the Bledsoes, bat doubtless admitting , the - red hair to be naiive Brown, perhaps it is reasonable to presudt that the brains came from both sides of the'honse. He looks like a man 'of-greater mental energ,y than physical endurance ; bin doubtiesslie can endure many hardships which " a more ponderous man would sink under.' He was still feeble yesterday from his recent Now -York attack, which he thought strongly resembled cholera. HE IS A STRICTLY TESIITZATE SUN."- Somo people wonder that a "Glass" concern like that which holds tho Grant party on this subject, .shotild be throwing stones. That a party -.,ailed upon to de fend a notoriously drunken captain in the U. S. Army; an equally intemperate Ga lena tanner, a general sa"balliddleir' at "Pittsburg Landing" that It khould have dismissedhim in - disgrace from his com mend, and a President whose habits of intemperance are so notorious, should resort tpjfalshood, is perhaps, not strange or uncommoirnader the circumstances. They perhaps may think that by force of their official brigade and their power of corruption they can force the people. to accept their refrain, that "Grant though, drudk all the while, is a - bctter - Pre side than Greeley, would The though sober," but we most ray that ye gon't befieTe it atr Nortk. clarelllui -.election does not :settle.

But as we are in formed by several "sound" Liberal Be-, 'publicans that were present, who were not convinced by him that "rant is the Man for President," that some (or big) cuss" was undoubtedly told to "holler for Jessup," when he in his usual capacity of '"filling vacancies,' 'came• forth and instead of "convincing" as his foglo man Of the *epabtfaitt says, he succeeded in impressing a large number . present with the idea that he had made 'a very poor argument Inexactly the wrong place. The burthen of his tirade • was 'in substance that eve, the Republicans (Grant men,) are entitled to all the honor of preserving this country, therefore Grant must be re-elected , President. Radical stump speakers and Radical organs bare pro cl.fimed this falsehood so long and loud that they think the people mast believe it. We have simply thisto say, that we are ready to take the records as to the commanding officers in the Union army, who are representatives of the Democratic party, as Compared with thl radical wing. We are ready to deney such an infamous elaim,ia the name of the dead and wounded ' of the rank and file, whose blood and limbs irrigate-and fertilize the same battle fields and whose bodies lie moldering side by side in the saute grave yard, both Democratic and 'Republican, and we are prepared to hurl-the base slander into the teeth of any partizan bigot, who is base enough to utter it.' Wo Repub licans who stood guard around our own firesides and cornfields, in the healthy and safe locality of Montrose and vicinity, and who cried long and loud for others to go to save them from draft, be cause they conld not leave their families, were just as patriotic as Democrats who did the sante thing and no more. Democrats paid their taxes, sentsubsti- Lutes, paid commutation' money, and availed themselves of the exemption laws passed hy a Republican government, as they had a right .to do, the same as their more irate Radical neighbors, and no more. These base assumptions and ingrate ig norings of the Democratic soldiery of this nation, is too thin a veil to cover the in rarAy or a oorrasrt cn.l witiiaLrlllloll, W1111:11 is being deserted by all the honest men wbo helped to bring it into existence. Gtantle Rat Trap The only hope the Grantites have of their success this fall, is in fixing rat%raps to cat,ch Dentocrats in. J. 3'l:Edmunds, Grant'i Postmaster, at :Washington, •is engaged in baiting their little trap. The following ishis precious document, speaks for itselt,as addressed to a promin ent Grant Republican - WASHINGTON, D. C., July 30, 1872. Dear Sir—Please send the enclosed cir cular to active Democrats in your dis trict,who do not support Itr.Gr.deley, and _ will co-operate with the 11 4 onigrillo Coa l-vention. Send me a list'of tneli men in each county immediately. J. M..Enxes - ns, Sen'y. No doubt, now, that this Louisville scheme is fostered and patronized by the Administration. This is the sort of hi:Bi ntss in which the Washington Postinlstei% engaged. Instead of attending to his proper duties, he and his subordinates are carrying on a partisan- campaign, and, ,says the Washington Pafri*of, may be seen daily at the Capitol, employed in violating the law, and appropriating the public property to political uses. The Louisville bubble, blown up so, as siduously by Grant hirelings, every true Democrat must regard—no matter bow originally intended--as a barefaced cheat which deservesdetestation. A vote agninst Greeley is-a vote for Grant, and the nom ination of a third - ctindidate means Grant first, last, and all the time. LA Wise and Mosby, Longstreet and Duncan support Grant, if they like him, but no trite and unselfish Democrat will be caught in their rat trap. "Cadwell has been elected Governor of North Carolina, it is believed, by the count %f the 'carpet-baggers" instead of the votes of the people.

The distinction is one which I feel to be in a great measure undeserv ed while so many more suitable could have teen found, and yet, should your action I be confirmed, I shall endeavor to discharge the duties of that high place with fidelity to your trust, with devotion to the pub lic interests, and with an inficsible resoin tion to prove not unworthy of such choice. The fact that it reposes also upon the declaration of principles affirmed by the Liberal. Republicans at Cincinnati, and proclaimed without amendment by the 'Democratic party at Baltimore, give as snrance that in the combined expression there is sought only the deliverance of the nation from a present great peril to its place and liberties. To. that end all minor considerations have been subordin ated, mid an illustration presented to the , country of unselfish patriotism rather than any stickling fur party advantage, which sliould:convince all of the perfect sincerity of the ••movement. .It has in-' volved no surrender on either part of any former convictions.

Mr. Chalker, 'Who was in the house, wrote a note, which he threw-ashore in a bottle, stating that the current had chang ed, and was undermining the house, and unless they could he taken 'oir.at puce they would tie swept down streaiii with the house, which was already tipping Over.. , . , Communication by letter, in the man ner in which it. was made, was- necessary, because the merino of the angry flood was lounder than trio strongest voice. The men on shoreliastened to the saw mill, and soon returned to the bank with a long cable ohain. A rope was thrown to Mr. Chalker; with which ho pulled one end of the chain to the honie, and attach ed it to platform, intended for the floor to a piazza in front of the main portion of the house. The platform was to be used as a raft, upon which the persons in the house, or who were at that time stand ing upon a small plat of dry ground in front of the house, could be floated ashore. While these preparations were making, a small barn above the house, and also wood-houso addition in rear of the house, were carried away; then the foundation in rear of the upright of house.gave way, I and the main portion of the building was swept down stream. The piazza platform in front of the upright, and the kitchen wing of the house still remained. The company seated themselves on the platform, which, it will be understood, 1 was fast to chain, one end of which was I wound around a tree on the shore, and ' prepared to swing around against the shore. In a few seconds the platform floated, brit contrary to expectation, in swinging around, struck against a small apple tree, which bad to be bent down to let it over. The platform, was construct ed of small scantling sills or sleeperS, covered inch hoards, imperfectly fastened_doWn With eight-penny nails. In going over the tree it was badly racked, and as it swung into the swifter channel belowA„went - to pieces, and only a small portii76, upon which nobody sat, remain ed attached to the chain. The whole company were therefore precipitated into the water, which went rushing along over its rough' bed with the speed of a train of care. When they seated themselves upon the platform, cords to be hold at one end by 31r. Chalker, were tied, around the waist of Mrs. Owen and her daughter, asnlire caution against their tieing separated and drifting oat of his reach, in case the raft should break, up. But it appears that when the moment Came in which their worst fears were realized, Mr. Chalker was nuable. to hold fast to the cords, and they slipped out of his hands. Mrs. Owen, who held her child in her-arms, let go of the child in her frantic efforts to grasp something, and threw both of her arms around 3lr. Chalker's neck. The water was so swift that neither could keep their feet, and both sank un der the Hood, and 'were rolled along the bottom for tome distance. Mr. Chalker Wa3 finally able to loosen Mrs. Owens' hold around his neck, and place her arms around his waist, as they rose to the surface. When passing Albert 3fitchell's hous, which was standing partly into the stream he put one hand upon the siding, but could not cling to it. About font' rods below M itchelFs-house, and about thirty rods from where they were wrecked, they drilled so near the shore that Nelson gpan ldi ng, was able to gmsp Mr. Cbalkey'S hand, and with the aid of the Messrs. Van Loan and others, pall him and Mrs. Owen out of the stream. Joseph Lindsley was polled ont.a fgw feet further down the stream- by Spencof Spaulding. Frances Owen, who was prevented •by her cloths from sinking, drifted near the, opposite shore, where Rev. D:11. Lindsley nod others endeavored to reach her with a board, but were unsuccessful. She drif ted down to wherO the main portion of the Owen house had stock upon another house owned by a widow; Martha Wash burn, relic of Oliver Washburn, and was sucked down ag,ainin. the side of the house by an undercurrent. The child, when last seen, was floating down the stream between the house, where Frances disappeared, and the shore where its mother was rescued. The body of Frances was found on Saturday morning under a pile of drift wood four feet deep. The body was taken into the residence of Mr. Mitchell, where it was prepared for burial; Tho body of the child was fonud on Sunday last, Ang., 18th by Charles Van Logan and others a few feet from thel place. where Frances body was found, quite deeply buried in the sand. • , Damage to property amounting to sev eral thousand deficit% was done to mill and farm property, aside -from .the dem edition of buildings and the destruction tt of bridges and roads. At Brookdale, the damages are estimated - -as follows : John T. Owens' house, furniture, barn and lot $2,500 • -Rev. D. D.
