Saf-Mr. Olis B. Gordon, of this Ho

Greek, at Vanyea's ilolc, by forming a

is roti'h and rapid, during the time of
0 , . v.
high water, so much so, that the lumber
men residing along the Creek above this
-..place, refuse to run their rafts through
the channel. It was at this point Mr. G
met with the accident; the raft trucks
rook, stopping suddenly aud prostrating
Mr. G. and Daniel Pugh, who was en
gaged with Gordon running the lumber.
Mr. G. would evidently have been drown

and prevented him from being waed- off

As soon as Mr. G. recovered sufficient

when Dr. Jackson was called in, who set
the dislocated limb. Mr. G. is doing
well and in a fair way of speedily regain

Mr. Pugh escaped unhurt.

The bill for tho admission of Minneso

has taken his sent ou the Republican side.
In tho House the credentials of Messrs.
Kavanagh and Phelps were presented on
Thursday, but their admission to seats
was opposed on the ground of irregulari

well-founded. Their case was referred
to Committee ou Elections.

that city May 5, and that the early wheat

quantities of wheat grown in all the South

great wheat producing State, especially
in the Cherokee couutry. The fine pro

erywhere must affect the price of old
wheat aud flour.

Chicago, Tuesday, May 18, 1858.
A fire occurred this morning in Wells
street, between Van Buren and Jackson
streets. Tho buildings burned were of
little value, but there was a lamentable
lo-is of human life. Nine persons are
known to have been burned to death, and
three others are missing. The names
the loat, as far as has been ascertained
are as follows: Harrison Barjar, wife
and three children; William Reilley, Sirs
Johnson and son. The origin of the fire
is unknown, but is supposed to have been
the work of an incendiary, as the building
had been fired twice within a short time
past.

The English Bill in Kansas.
Upon the passage of the English Bill
for the settlement of tho Kansas question
we expressed a doubt whether the propo
sitions contained in it would be accepted
by the people of tho Territory. Ihe
Leavenworth ledger, or me t la oi iuay,
declares againsttho measure in the strong
est terniH, and we doubt not indicates in
its courso the sentiments ot tne largest
portion of the citizens. We quote from
its remark6:
"We, as a people, are obliged to pur
due one of two courses. Wc must cither
swallow Lccompton, head and tail, or
vote to remain out of the Uuion until wc
have a population which will entitle us to
one lleprctcntalive in Congress. This is
as much as to say, "If, after all your
h rick ins and bellowing: If, after all
your oppo-itiou to this Swindle,' if you
will now sacrifice your principles, aud say
amen to it, we will give you for school
purposes o much; for the Support of a
State Univer&ity so much; lor tne com
pletiou of the public buildings so much;
all tho salt spnugs in tne otatc not ex
ceeding twelve: also, five per ceut. of alj
the proceeds of the public lands for build
ing roads, internal improvements, &c; but
if you will not do this you will ho o
bligcd to ttay out of the.Uuion until your
populotiou will entitle you to one Repre
sentative. i.,
"Having found that threats alone are
insufficient to curb the People of Kansas,-!
our enemies have Joined a threat and a
bribe, and hope by these means to suc
ceed in their purposes. Wc would iuform
them that the Government docs not own
land enough to buy up the people of Kan
sas. We would rather oon-i'U ourselves
to eternal poverty, thau bo the instru-
ments of our own degredatiou. Who,
that mingles with the people, hears their

they are expressed, can doubt as to what
will be the result of that election? Our

ihe voice of the Kansas papers upon
the English swindle is as decided as could
be wished.

From tho Chicago Tribune, May 15.
The gale on Thursday ovening was, in
some portions of the State, of unprece
dented violenco. It covered a large ex
tent of territory, aud everywhere its track
is marked with painful damage to prop
erty, and, perhaps, as further intelligence
will show, loss of life. It seems to have
crossed tho. Mississippi near Oquawka,
aud to have extended eastward at least
as far as McLean County, where we hear
of some of its disastrous effects. In the
West there was uiuch bail accompanying
tho wind, and everywhere a great fall o!
rain-
We hear that at Lexington, on the lhn
of the St. Louis, Alton and Chicago Boo d
the storm was terrific. In a letter-below
wc are told of its freaks with the up train;
and an informant at our elbow says that
nearly every house in tho village was un
roofed or blown down. The air was load
ed with the wreck which was made; the
heavens were black with clouds which
were pouring out destruction, and more
thau one who was there felt th:t the end
of all things was at hand. If Lexington
has escaped without great loss of life, the
fact is most wonderful o: all.
At this, point -there was a copious rain
aud some thunder aud lightuiugrbut uo.th
lug, to indicate the Destruction going on
elsewhere. .The evening, learners left
port as u-ual, and, though-, the gale vfa
high, it was not unusual. Later in the
evening, the wind, increased, but before
10 o'clock ail was still again.
Below we print a ha-t? letter from
