damages in this town, occasioned by the rains
and freshet, are variously estimated at from
$4,000, to $5,000.-Belche'to,c Sent.
We have seen letter from Franconia, to
Col. Boardman, of this village, which gives
a very distressing account Of the injury done
to the ironworks by the late freshet. "The
rain descended in torrents and washed away
the bulk head and part of the dam. The
dressing house where the plates and ware
were carried to be dressed, was crushed, and
many of the plates and much ware precipit-
ated into the river, Many new castings are
buried under sand and stones. The whole
yard is like the most rocky sea-washed shore.
The water cut channel between the end
of the pattern houses and the dressing shops,
and swept off, should suppose, from 80 to
so tons of scrap iron. All the cinder shop
with at least 90 tons of iron in it is swept off.
But | cannot give you an adequate descrip-
ton of the appearance of things since the
water has subsidized. But what distresses me
more than can express is the loss of the
blast in the Furnace. They were obliged to
shovel out all the contents to prevent its &C.
menting from top to bottom. 1t will take
thousands of loads of dirt, &c. to fill up the
yard and cite for the Forge. An immense
hole is worked out, where the bulk head
gave way, we know not how deep, the water
is still pouring through it, like great water
fall. DunStable Gdz.

JACKSON AND WASHINGTON. It
been asserted, in proof of the respeca
standing of Gen. Jackson many years
and of the confidence reposed in hin
Gen. Washington, that he was appointa
1870 to be u. States Attorney, for the
trict south of the Ohio. In proof of ths
commission naming him to that office,
the signature of Washington, has been
hshed, under the sanction of the jack
committee of correspondence in Phlal
phia. The National journal pronouH
the assertion to be false, and the commits
a forgery. No such officer was PROV
for by law, and no such appointment n
by the President. The first commits

The LATE FREsHET. The damage sus-
tanned by the freshet, in consequence of the
heavy rains ofweek before last, is far great
'er, and more extensive, than was anticipated.
The account in cur last of the damage sus-
tanned by the extraordinary rise of Connec-
ticut river, is more than confirmed. The
rise of the river in this town and vicinity
was much less than is usual in heavy rains
owing probably to its peculiar situation. it

ELECTIONS. The recent elections in
Vermont and Maine as far as information
has reached us, have terminated favourably
to the present administration, the national
question having been made the criterion of
the qualification of candidates.
In Vermont. Samuel G. Graft is chosen
GOVERNOR, and Henry DIN Lieutenant
GOVERNOR, and the present Members of
Congress, with one exception, are re-elect-
ed; all friendly to Mr.. Adams. The one
exception was in tho third dictrict whero
Mr.. Wales, the administration candidate,
was opposed by three jackson men, and his
election was consequently defeated, there
being no choice. Of 1lS representatives
chosen to the Legislature, aaine only are
Jackson men. The House of Representa-
tives consists of about $50 members, and the
Jackson papers boast that they have chosen
ten of them, and improve the occasion to
'shurra for Jackson" A Vermont editor
says this exultation reminds him of the Pad
dy, who ran his lame horse on race course,
halloing, "huzza, how I drive 'em all before
me.'
In Maine, by all accounts, the cause of
the administration has been equally triumph
ant. In Cumberland county, where the OPP
position was strongest, the election was
pretty closely contested the administration
candidates for the Senate, however, are
chosen by about 200 majority. Mr.. Ander-
son, the present Member of Congress for
Cumberland is reelected. He is Jackson
man, but there was no candidate opposed to
him. In York county the administration
ticket for Senators succeeded by about
1900 majority. GOVERNOR Lincoln is re-
elected without opposition. There are parts
Of the State not heard from, but sufficient is
known, to show that so far as the elections

A citizen of Baltimore has invented new
material, for the manufacture of travelling
trunks. 1t is a cloth, made of hemp and
wire, wove and twilled in the same manner
that other cloths are, and painted, to pre-
serve the hemp from rotting and the wire
from rusting. It is said to be completely
impenetrable, and may be used for boots of
stages, carpeting, sacking bottoms of bed
steads, fancy chairs, sofas, pannels or roofs
of carriages, baskets, water buckets, &c.

The Jackson Republican endeavours to
be candid on the subject of the Maine cleo

ISAAC B. DESHA.
Extract Of letter from Thomas M Duke, Esq., formerly

OF washington, Ky, and noao resident in Texas
SAN FELIPE DE AUSTIN, July "a, 1923.
Isaac b. Desha, who was so long confined in Ken
lucky, for the murder of Baker, is now in confinement
lii this place on charge of the same kind; the cir
cumstances these. Last April Desha arrived here
on board the schr Rights of Man, from New Orleans
IN company with by the name of Thomas or
John Early, of Brown county, Ohio, who visited this
country for the purpose Of removing his family here.
Desha passed by the of John Parker they arri-
we'd in this town early in May, and remained only few
days here, and left this for San Antonio. When they
left here Desla was without funds, and Early had
pretty smart with him. Desha arrived in San An
tonic without Farley, and spent money freely. On his
return to this place had him arrested, and have sent
out men to-day to examine for the body of said Early.
The evidence that have been able to collect as vet is
very strong against him, and am very much afraid
that he has murdered his companion Yesterday he
confessed to Inc that he was Isaac b. Desha but not
until he had been identified by gentleman in this
county,. was satisfied in my mind that he was
DesN, from his family resemblance, and his breathing

So far, says the Frankfort Commentator, the state
ment given in the letter from Mr. Duke, is authentic
Other accounts, which want con6pnation state that
the body of Early had been found half consumed by
fire: that Desha had confessed the murder, and the
murder of Baker, and says that these minor often
ces compared with some committed by him.

We are told by the committee that it was intcrrIp-

difficult to ascertain. Great mystery and uncurtain-
