I hold that this Government was eetabliehed by
the white men of the continent L-men of European
birth or European doeoent then on the continent.
It was established for the benefit of white mop, to
be administered by white men, pn the white basis.
Spain and France, in their colonies' mule Ameri
can continent, admitted the negro and Indian to
citizenship with the white man, on an equality.
In the colonise from which this nation sprung, the
political rights were confined to the white men ;
not merely to Englishmen, or Germans, or Swedes,
or Swiss, but to all white men, all men of Euro
pean birth and posterity: Say what, you
please, the experience of the .world proves
that there is such a thing as superior and
leerier races The experience of the world
in all ages proves that the negro is incapable of
self-government in all olimee. [Cheers. J For this
reason our fathers, in making our institutions,
confined the governing power to the white race,
excluding no white man, but making no mixed
bade, either with the Indian or negroes. Look
at the difference between the Spanish-Amerioan
°Diet:Ulla and the Frenott-Amorioan oolonieeT' and
the talent's of which this country was originally
oompored. Their political amalgamation has pro
duced domestic amalgamation, and demoralisati en
and degradation below the point of capacity for
self-government, has been the result in every in

The Washington Valves reoant diatribes
against Douglas and thoDemocraoy of Illinois are
tbne commented on by Its ally, the New York
Herald :
Our Washington philosopher says that they
will do mewl thing; but 'wean not sure of that.
According to our past experience with those tur
bulent Kansas people, a new °barter is the very
next thing to which they will proceed after rloset
ing the L
at eoompton Constitution. And sup 86
they dot is, and ark, th e next session of en
gross, to be admitted under the-sante "Emotion of
population .which would have heed sufficient for
their adatiesion, under .Lecompton, what then?
Ie ft not 4*j:to perceive as the light of the
noonday sun, that their - rejection will reopen the
whole of this _Kansas agitation' throughout the
North with tenfold increased bitterness; and
other that, on the hand, a quiet aot of admission
will settla the whOle boatman at once and forever,
and leave to neither Northern nor Southern agita
tors' a Single peg to Stand upon. '
' Why, then, this sudden indignation of our Wash
,ington ontemporary against Mr. Douglas upon this
poiat? It strikes us that this trumped-up indict
ment eonterwisig a stew Constitution for Kan
sas is too shallots and mtsehievons in its tenden
cies, and Somewhat too tleiOUS and malignant
in its spirit, to be ooneiderod for a moment as
representing either the views or wishes of the Ad
ministration. Should the -people of Kansas reject
the Lecompton Constitution and forthwith adopt
another one, republican in form, and lay it before
Congress in December next andmsk to be admit
ted under It as a State, we ' believe that the Presi
dent instead ofresisting, will en c ourage the act of
admission as the simpleet, shortest, and moat do
&sive way of getting rid of this Kansas nuisance,
finally, eompletoly, and forever.
Can it be that the Union has lugged in this
particular question by the ears for the purpose of
embarrassing and defeating Mr. Douglas in Illi
nois? We can hardly believe it ; and yet it fol
lows that, as the Union denounces , Mr. Douglas
se an outsider, It can have undutiful for his 11110.
COOL But why' desire his defeat? It will oar
tainly he the loss of Illinois to the Democratic
party, not only now, but henceforward to 1850.
The policy of conciliation is the COUTEIO of wisdom.
Alloys a little time and a margin of forbearance
to Mr. Douglas. Attempt not to crush him by
pulling the Demooratio home down over his head,
but rather encourage him against the black Re
publicans, and homey save the State to the patty,
and thus practically initiate the great work of
Democratic reunion throughout the 'Union. North
and South the broken fragments of the party ap
pear to be as well disposed. to come together as
after the great exciting battle upon the compro
mise measures of .1.850.

, . ,•
: •-, ;,, -WARISINGTON, Ang. 4, MS
I have taken some . pains to inquire into the probs•
ble result of the eitraoidluaryeanipaign in Illinois.
Naturally enough r the news will come moat direct
t) this central point; and as my information
comes from 'several sources, friendly and other
wise, it may be relied upon. The struggle is fierce;
but there are certain reasons, apart from the enthu
siasm now existing, which lead me to the conclusion
that Douglas will arty the State. First among these
is the fact that Mr. Lincoln 'cannot damage his
opponent's platfOrm,With the vote of the Republi
cans and Americans recorded in favor of it in - the
last Congress. This vote, added to the manly and
disinterested attitude of Douglas, has sunk deep
into the hearts of the Republican and American
manes. Renee, p it is a common thing to hear
of many of these men - advoo sting Douglas Nor Mtn'
the Administration whip in all the office-holders.
I have now before me a letter from en Illinois
Ipostmaster, in which he declares that it is 'a libel
that• these men are against Douglas In a body.
" Bonds and death," as ;wise Black has it, can- .
not tame the honest Spirit, or frighten "a' man's
conscience out of his body. Another reason that
helps Douglas is the feeling in his fiver outside of
Ms own State. lowa, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio,
Indiana, Minnesota are in a bla;e for him. I
spent arthour, the other day, looking over several
files of Northwestern papers, at an absent
Senator's quarters, and I find that poug
las has got them for.. him, with very. few
exceptions. , The Leoompton ,papers in Indiana
are compelled to publish his speeches, while
the leading Democratic journals in Milwaukee, St.
Paul, Cleveland, Detroit, Pabusiue, ardently exit
path* with him. This creates an Innosphere
that still, further inspires the inside movement;
and when to this is added the announced sympa
thy with him of the St. Leafs Republican, Senator
J S. erects, of Missouri, and thousands of Admin
istration Alen, In Missend, he would seem to
be hard to defeat, - touch less to . drive out of,
the Democratic party. On Friday,. the 80,th
ult., .an election for alderman took place In
the Second, ward, Chicago, which ward gave
Fremont over 400 majority; and- the _result Was
that Smith•hteClery, the Douglas candidate, was
chosen by-130 majority. In order to intimidate
oertain gentlemen in *Chicago, by holding over
their heads the official lash, a number of names
were affixed to the call for a LooomPton meeting
lately held in that city. The Union here shouted
over the proceedings with infinite gusto. But the
sequel wasp sad damage. A. large number of the
Democrats, whose names wore used, came out and
repudiated the meeting, and endorsed Douglas.
Mr. David Stuart, for some years the able Repro
[tentative DI Congress from Detroit, (while yon
were Clerk of the Doom) and lately a resident of
Chicago, put his views down as follows:
"Not one at all familiar with the politics of II-
Snots can for a pnonient doubt that the defeat of
Senator Douglas involves the election of a Repub.
Roan trimester ; and my. instincts of pemooraey
prompt me to beat a hasty retreat from any snare
which might betray mo into so fatal an imagist
onoy and error, or subject me to the suspicion of
suoh an' unholy alliance.' " .
Many others did likewise. But, what is most
ourimis of all le, to see the feeling exoited in the
Southern States in favor of Douglas. Ilor
ror olthe °ours° that is being pursued against
him, contempt for the low and abandoned frosorip
den of a set of paid hirelings, and, in many oases,
.earnest sympathy in his movement, have elicited
a number of declarations in his behalf. The Mem
phis Apr 1.41,110418 Tribune, New Orleans il el ta

object to the course of the Administration, and ap
prove of most of the sentiments of the intrepid
Senator. From these hints you may obtain a fair
bird's eye view'of the field. Really it is a grand
struggle. It appeals to all our chivalric and ge
nerous feelings. It is a spectacle to be remember
ed; and I am not astonished that it awakens such
intense feeling all over the country.
The Washington Union is in a sad dilemma.
1 It has announced Its purpose, after the English
bribe le defeated in Kansas, to be about as foi
-1 lowa :
"Should the Lecompton Covetitution be reject
ed, they will remain as a Territory until they
have a sufficient population to become &State under
, the English bill."
I This is a bard measure to such men as Flerenoe,
Phillips, Landy, and the Joneses, and may be
called the " teet " upon them. If they say that
they will vote for the Constitution which the pee
pie of Itansaimay bring to Washington next ses
sion, without the ratio, they are outside of the
party ; if they do not salt it, they will not even
fet Lecompton votes. Will the Union change
about, and accept themrinciple, and yield to the.
I voice of the people? or will it keep the issue open,
while avorring that it Is " settled ? " This le a di
lemma indeed.
The ultra Republicans of Illinois have taken
violent ground against the attempt to assist .the
' manufacturers of iron In Pennsylvania. -
( The Smothers elections have gone, as was ex
-1
pected, generally for the Democratic ticket.
The New York Herald of Monday contains
another ti;ng at Mr. Secretary Cobb because he
Iwill not confirm Mr. SobetPkappointments. This
, is a matter in which I have no concern, save to
' say that it looks very much as If Schell had set
the Herald upon Cobb in order to got the Presi
dent to interfere in his behalf. So it is under
stood here. Whether it will induce the Secretary
I to yield remains to be been.
I have, I believe, never yet alluded to the mag
nificent marble bust of Pulaski, executed by your
townsmen and highly educated artist, Sanders,
I (a Polish citisen,) and now on exhibition at the
ICapitol. It is a superb work of genius. No appro.
priation has been made for It. Why does not Ha:

buy it for hereon'? I have often asked myself
this question 'while observing this impressive

There is no city in the Union that would be more
benefited by a hose° railroad than Washington.
The extortion of hack•drivers upon persons having
business in the departments is terrible. A bill
was reported to Congress last session to authorise
the laying of rails on Pennsylvania Avenue for this
purpose. Bat it failed because the speculators
(everything is a job hero) got into a quarrel.
Next session it will go through without difficulty.
Such a connection between the Capitol and the
White Rouse and the Departments, would be an
incaloulable benefit to the people.
As I predicted, James P. Barr, the deserving
editor of the only daily Democratic paper in
Western Pennsylvania, (the Pittsburgh Post,) has
failed to be appointed postmaster of Pittsburgh,
though backed by nine-tenths of the entire people
of the place. Mr. J. C. Dunn obtains the prize.
The most earnest appeals were vainly made in
Barr's behalf. OCCASIONAL.

took the railroad car at the Camden and Amboy
depot, New Jersey side, and made a break for the
" high old hills " of Sussex.
On reaching Newark we found the Morrie and
Essex train waiting, in which we go as far

of your city readers want to breathe cool air and
forget the dog days, here is the place for them.
From the hills around the town, you can see the
line of division between Jersey and New York.
Aud in the valleys flow the small mountain brooks,
which ISO much delight the heart of the disciples of

naught fifty-five trout in a single afternoon. They
used nothing but live bait. One of the trout
weighed seven pounds. Double Dam, which
abounds in plOkerel as well as trout, is a deep
pond, formed by throwing a aubstantial dam
over a mountain stream, whose water is clear and
cold.
Newton is the hems of Martin V. Ryerson, one
of the judges of the Supremo Court. He, at one
time, when practising at the bar, was the idol of the
Demooraoy of Eames, and, in fact, holds yet a high
and honorable place in the affections of the people,
But years ago, he went to practice in Trenton, and
for many years has withdrawn
,from the active
strife of politics, 'When he was a leader of tho
faithful, Buena was the banner county of NeW
Jersey, and used to give majorities as high as two
thousand for the Demooraoy. Martin V. Ryerson
is to the core an anti-Lecoropton Democrat, and he
is not without hosts of companions.
It was, you will remember, in this county that
the first meeting in opposition to that great fraud
and shame, the oandle•box Constitution, was held
in New Jamey. And to that meeting Governor
Walker addressed that eloquent, and truthful, and
soothing letter, inquiring pertinently, i;hether
this was the eighty-second year of our indepen

Among the leaders of the anti,Lecompton tomes

It appears that, in 1857, a number of new banks
were applied for, in various parts of the State, and
the most pressing importunities made to the Legis
lature, under pretence that capital sought invest
ment, and the businosa wants of the people ren
dered them indispensable. These appeals, always
difficult to resist, became irresistible when so many
banks were simultaneously solicited by men who
did not sort:mil) at anything to accomplish their
ends. A union of hands, and a system of "log
rolling," forced through the Legislature all the
banks that were asked tor.
Tho report of the legislative committee exhi
bits the result. The Bank o Crawford County, of
Tioga, of Shamokin,
of Hollidaysburg, not .do
mended by the wants of the people, were seised
hold of by a lot of unprincipled eptonlators nt
Buffalo, New York, who had the audacity to come
into the State of Pennsylvania, where they bad
nn business, and no residence, and attempt to palm
off a seheme by whioh thousands of innocent peo
ple might have been involved in ruin !
Beginning their operations by investing a few
thousand dollars in the stook of the Tioga County
Sank, they obtained a large amount of ito notes,
and next, by means of these notes, which the
bank was utterly unable to redeem, thought to
obtain possession of the capital stook of all the
other new banks, thereby making the few thou.
sand dollars they bed originally invested in the
Tioga Bank, the foundation for a banking capital
of half a million of dollare, and of a note °koala
tion of more than a million of dollars !
Such wore the proportions of this mammoth
swindle! One more audacious was never eon•
oeived. Had" it not been exposed it would hove
covered our State with irredeemable bank rage,
and Jed to an explosion which would have ruined
thousands.
At the time these applioations were made, we
warned the Legislature against the dangers of a
system whioh was liable to mob abuse. What
we said then may not have been very palatable
in some quarters; but experience has proved our
fears not to have been unfounded, sooner than we
expected.

In a great city like this,-with its incessant and
unscrupulous struggle for individual gain 7 -there
must be many oases of suffering and extreme indi

needed,then what are embraced in two littleicera

the discovery of an emaciated dead woman, On a
pile of rage in a Heater-street garret, " supposed
to have been etarved to death ;" the other rela
ting the sudden suloide of a young Amerloan‘wife,
twenty years old, who had witnessed her last
household articles disposed of for bread, and be
holding her wretched husband returning from a
vain effort to procure work, saw no alternative in
her despair but death, which she reached by
throwing herself out of a fifth-story window of a
tenant-house in ThoMpson street. finch' lessons

(Reported for The Preee.2
Quetrratt SESSIONS—Judge Allison —Mr. F. H.
Brewster concluded his - very able argument for
the defendants, Robert B. Kirkpatrick and wife,
about eleven o'clock yesterday morning. He was
followed by Mr. ilaslehurst, of counsel for Josiah
Jones, who was very °audio on the prosecutor, and
the motives by which he was actuated. Judge
Kelley 'concluded for the prosecution, and the
charge will be made by Judge Allison this
morning.
U. S. Comurssiortaa's Orricm.—A man named
Hyman, the keeper of a tavern in Third street,
was charged before Commissioner Buchard with
passing counterfeit money. The principal testi
mony against him was that of his bar-keeper, who
had been recently discharged by him, and whose
evidence, under the circumstances, must be taken
with several grains of allowance. He testified
that the defendant had placed counterfeit gold
coin in the drawer, and told him to pay it away
in &sane, He admitted, on crosaexaminatlon,
that he had brought the prosecution through
spite. Continued until Friday for a further hear

the house of Ambrose Taylor, in the Seventeenth

The Explosion of the Falls City.
[From the Pttteburgh Evenlug Chronicle, of Aug 9.)
As already announced by telegraph, the Falls
City buret a cylinder head, 35 miles below Mem
phis, a few days since, and but for a large lee box
which was standing between the oylindor and the
boilers the result would have been much more dis
astrous. The accident occurred near Austln,while
the passengers were at dinner, who numbered
about three hundred, and produced the greatest
consternation. They all rushed out, and ono of
our informants states that it required all his
strength to prevent hie being pushed overboard.
One man fell to the lower deck, but escaped with
a sprained ankle.
There were four of tho crew blown overboard,
of whom three were drowned; one, a little boy,
who was employed in the cook house, was saved,
but be died subsequently. Besides. seven of the
orew were scalded, two of whom could not survive.
The little boy swam nearly half a mile, when the
steamboat Langley_ came up, and a rope was
H
thrown to him. e caught hold of it with his
hands, but they were so badly scalded that ho
could not use them, and be put the repo in his
mouth, and was thus rescued. The passengers
raised a subscription for him. Ile endured die
sufferings without a murmur, and died before the
boat reached Memphis. The Falls City then
came up on ono wheel. Nearly all her patoeigers
left her at Memphis and came to Cairo on the
Fanny Bullitt. The Falls City blew out her nuk
ing when a short distance above Natchez, but no
one was injured by it.
A letter from Vienna says " During the
last few days a great diamond, the-property of
some strangers at Laibaoh, in Candela, has been
much talked of hero. The travellers asked
3,000,000 fl. (£300,000) for their jewel, but the po
lice must have heard something to their disad
vantage, u it has had them arrested and brought
to this city. The nationality of the possessor of
the Stone is not known to me, but his two travel•
ling companions are from Franco."

A. circular from the

the soolity le' send delegates to,an election .to be
held on•the let •of September , next to fill wenn
cies in that body. The election la - to, be.deter

cultural Society, and the votes of three reireaen- .
tatives, duly chosen by each County Agricultural
Soolety in the Commonwealth,' which ellen have
been organised at least three months preceding
the time of suoh election. The object of asking
delegates from the county societies is, that they
may be informed' and enabled to report 6.their

promises to yield to the agriculturists of the State.
Delegates will be taken from the month of Spruce

Tho President appointed three delegates so
cordingly—Mesars. Morton McMichael, J. B. Int
gersoll, and John McGowan. At the request of
the President for additional volunteers, Messrs.
Landreth, Harrison, and George Blight tendered
themselves, and were accepted.
Messrs. Henry A. Dreer, Josiah M. Smith, Wm.
L. Boyer, and J. B. Hopper were then elected
members of the society. -
An interesting debate next took place iq rela
tion to the merits of the dosen or meter/1811valve
reaping machines now before the public, no two
'persons agreeing upon which was entitled to pre
ference. The fact appeared to be, as one member
rather facetiously remarked, that most people con
sidered that to be the beet tniokine which was
made in their own neighborhood.
Having concluded the disoussion, which was ir
regular and desultiiry; the secretary called at*.
tion to the foot that a steam-plough had been put
in operation in Lancaster county by Mr. Flogkes,
of Christiana. He said that In England the steam
plough had already been successfully introduced.
.They were taken through the agricultural districts
by their owners, who ploughed UP farms by con
tract, at the price of seven 'shillings sterling per
acre, the capacity of the machine being an sore
and a quarter per hour. The plough is the inven
tion of Beide% The plough invented Mr.
Fawkes ie aa Improvement niou this, It heti shone
merely to guide it, the weight cornea entirely upon
the centre wheels, which are su rre'unded by a resol
ving track. The track is affixed to the wheel and re-
eaves the weight, and is so admirably arranged,
that even upon wet ground it scereely leaves an
impression. Lancaster County has the honor of
giving us the first Inventor of the: steamboat, and
also the first steam plough. The machine was
tried last week in Lancaster county, and was rep
resented to have been highly successful. He was
glad to see that the subject Was attracting atten
tion, and hoped that the society would take some
means to bring it before them.. It is euperior to
the Holdall machine in main respeets. It requires
but one man, is six feet wide, and drives elk plotighl
at once. The attendant stands upon tie'plorigb
while in motion: The Inventor is an entliusiast who,
to complete the inventton,has denied himself every
thing; and has not now sufficient means to bring it
to Philadelphia for exhibition. The. secretary
thought it was the duty of the society to mooning"
such an invention, and that the society invite Mr.
Fawkes to bring is machine to this city, and give
it a public trial, the society paying his expenies by
private contribution among the members.
Mr. Elwyn moved that the society anthorize'the
secretary to write such an invitatioh; which, after
considerable debate, was agreed to.
After some other bueineas, not of public interest,
the meeting adjourned.
Pciou Hosea Fratert..:— The inhumanity
whiob is so frequently practised towards that no
ble animal, the horse, is almost daily a subject of
severe and just censure. Yesterday and Turfs*
we eaw instances of the kind, whiob, although by
no means rare, attraoted large crowds of both ac
tive and listless spectators. The first was on Mar
ket street, where one of the horses attached to a
passenger oar fell, overcome by 'exhaustion and
heat; and yesterday morning, on Chestnut street,
a poor animal, attached to a• mineral wagon, una
ble longer to navigate under its load, bad to sue•
comb to exhausted nature, notwithstanding the
driver's whip was most vigorously plied to strength
en him. Various expedients were resorted to for
the purpose of coaxing him into an upright posi
tion, and the wagon finally backed from him and
straw brought to render more comfortable his re
clining position. The poor horse's appreciation of
this kindness was manifested by an immediate ef
fort to eat the straw—an evidence scarce necessary
to convince by-standers that hie lank and meagre
frame was seldom treated to half the quantum of
oats and hay to sustain even tolerably vigorous
life. The universal expression was, that it is a sin
to subject to the torture of severe labor such mise
rable, starved, yet ever-willing and noble crea
ture!. .
THE OPRNING TRADX.—We are already
beginning to hive indieations, of a brisk fall
trade. The arrivals in our city are on the in
crease, notwithstanding the oppressivenesspf the
summer heat ham mane lost its dread, even to bu.
siness men. We have recently conversed with
Southern merchants, who assured. us they were
generally expected to have their goods on the
stand by the last of August.
,Many of these are
arriving, and their purehases being made; and by
the time of their departure, Western merchants,
and those of our own State, will begin to pour in.
We have reason to anticipate a prosperone season,
notwithstanding the cry is that the country has
not recovered from the erects of the resent panto.
An abundant harvest, coupled with the lemons of
pradenee, leaned in the bitter school of expe
rience, will, we feel an abiding faith, dispel every
cloud widish bangs over the commercial, manufac
turing and general business interests of th'e coun
try.
DAM° INOHNDIART ATTEISPT.—A pretty
well-grown boy was discovered, about one o'clock
yesterday, ia the attempt to commit la most daring
acis of incendiarism. Ile had a bundle of straw at
tubed to a pole, and, after breaking the transom
window of an unoccupied building at theittentheast
corner of Front and Christian streeti; was in the
act of thrusting it in when disooiered,:•-Foitt
nately, a policeman came up . at thisjuneture, when
the boy took to his heels, and succeeded In eluding
the grasp of the offcer, although hotly pursued.
Sergeant Godwin, of the police,-climbed up to the
transom, and suoceeded in. obtaining thecombusti
ble material. The baildingcontained the furniture
and fixtures of a business stand, and was admirably I
adapted to a successful incendiary attempt.
WUAT a pity it is that policenion are not
only Argus-eyed, bat blessed with the powers of
übiquity: So many things transpire : in the crib- I
nary occurrences of city life, requiring their oog
nizanoe, but which it is impossible they can be
fully posted upon, that we sometimes wish them'
was a police officer at every.eornes, look, and
cranny. We saw, last evening, several individu
als who had rather too freely imbibed of the " ar
dent," and who were decidedly boisterous, irate- ,
cent, and outrageous, whe would have been mate
rially benefited by a few hours' reformatory dis
cipline, under the care of our city authorities.
DANGEROUS COUNTERFEIT.—The most dan
gerous counterfeit we have yet seen was shown us
yesterday morning. It was a two-dollar-and.a-balf
gold piece, so closely resembling the genuine that It
is calculated to deceive even good judges of coin.
The general appearance of it is very good ; the
weight and eireumferenee of it are coned, and its
only apparent defect is that of Its sound, end being
too thin, which can be easily discovered by sub-
jetting it to the standard tests. We have reason
to believe that many of them are In circulation,
and that oven professional money-changers have
been deceived by their Appearanoe.
LARCENY ('P A littio--A man named John
Randolph was arrested yesterday and committed
by Alderman Freeman, charged with the larceny
of a gold signet ring, from the jewelry establish
ment of E. Emanuel, corner of Seventh and Chest
nut streets. In company with two others, Ran
dolph entered the store, with the profeAed pur•
pose of making some purchases, and whilst inspect
ing the goods, the theft was B ooomplished. The
accomplices of Randolph toodeeded in getting off'
with the booty, leaving tam to bear the brunt of
the offence.
limos PRAYER MnErwas.—The daily praye r
meetings at Joyne's Hall continue with unabated
interest. Wedropped in yesterday, and were gra
tified to witness the fervent, yet quiet, pious seal
wbioh characterized the proceedings. It is a glo
rious feature of our city—so central a point, where
the stranger, or business visher, may spend an
hour in communion with his Maker, unfettered
by artificial and fashionable trammels, in common
with his brethren of all creeds.
CORRECTION.—In our notice yesterday of the
"arrest of an alleged murderer," we gave the
credit of the arrest to Officer Fleming. It should
have been Officer Miller, of the Fifth ward. In
pence may, be frequently done to our officials,
through mere inadvertenoe, - but we are always
cheerfully willing• to make the necessary mine°.
Bons, and bestow either praise or censure where
they are due.

On Monday last, as we learn from the Re
cheater (N Y.) Advertiser, three men, prisoners
from the Monroe county penitentiary, were acci
dentally drowned in Irondrqueit bay. near the
Float bridge, by the upsetting of a skiff. These
men were engaged in cutting flags, to be used for
seating ()hairs at the penitentiary. and when the
accident occurred they were passing from one
island of flags to another in a scow or flat-bottomed_
skiff There was a party of six prisoners and ell%
overseer in the skiff, which somehow dipped water,
when, supposing that it would sink, all jumped
out. One prisoner' swam to a landing place, an
other saved the overseer, and a third wee saved by
clinging to the skiff The three who went down and
were drowned were James Sheridan, Michael
Lynch, and Edward-Donoghue. These were all
sent up by Police-Justice Bardwell. on short sen
tences, from this city. - Sheridan wee about forty
years old, and leaves a wife and children. He woe
sent up on the 6th of June for siry, days Hui
