banks. The people have thrown back the
charges into his teeth. Mr.. Niles, Il will b
borne 10 mind, last spring, accused the citi.
zens Of the State he 1Iis-represented and dis
graced, IN Congress, Of fraud or corruption,S
which charge he had the insolence to repeat
in his infamous letter. At the very next cleo.
tion, our people expressed their indignant
rebuke at his fiagitious conduct. Mr.. Van
Buren, hopes TO be elected another term to
the Office of President, and Mr.. Niles will
try to mount TO the GubernatOrial chair
The result win show another striking coinci-
dence in their histories. They will both re-
ceive renewed manifestation of the popu-
lar distrust and censure. These two dema-
gogues have both received their share of tho
spoils-they may now retire to luxuriate up
on their ILL gotten wealth. -NeUL0ndO GGz.
RidicuLOus.-The Albany Argus, N. Y.
Evening Post, New-Haven Register and tho
Hartford Times, with degree of assurance
that renders them perfectly ridiculous, are
endeavoring to make their readers believe
that the result of the New York election is
most favorable and suspicious for their par
ty-that they have already gained several
thousand-and that they are well satisfied
with only reasonable gain, which they
claim to have secured why did they not di.
vulge this expectation, before the election!
1t might have saved their friends world OF
.chagrin and a few warehouses of Hats, Coats
and Boots, to say nothing of loose cash, which
they have bullied the Wings into betting
against 5000 majority for Marcy, and tho
like. This sober second thought of these

We last night received the Granada, (Miss.)
Bulletin, of the 9Th inst, in which we find an
account of a most horrid scene Of bieodshed
and murder. The Bulletin states, that Gid
con Gibson, OF Warren county, sold some
time since tract of land ON Yazoo river,
and some forty or fifty negroes, on a long
credit to Wilson and Simpson, with an agree.
ment on the part of Wilson to give to Gibson
the proceeds of their crops annually in liqui-
dalton of the debt, and u lien on the whole
properly as security-and Gibson agreeing
to furnish them with open land to cultivate
for few years until they could by degrees
get plantation open on their own land.
| For this purpose Gibson rented the planfa-
! ton Of the Hon. Franklin E. Plummer. FL
! nally, some misunderstanding arose between
the parties. Gibson demanded to have the
contract rescinded. To this Simpson agreed,
but Wilson refused to give up the property.

Clark, Morrison and Boytt, went OH the pre-

Calanity.-An express from Dam NO. 3.
reached this place on Monday evening,
bringing the unwclcomc intelligence that
fifteen men were drowned at these works, OLE
Monday morning. About forty men, white
and bluck, were passing over in two boats to-
the point where gravel for the dam is procur--
ed, and in the middle ofsthe river they be-.
came alarmed. and so great was the panic.
from the belief that they must ull be drown.-
in vain attempted to rally them with the pole,
by which, there is no doubt, but for the alarm,
the boats might have been governed. as there
was not a strong current over the gravel
above the dam. As the boats began 10 de.
scend the stream, the hands jumped into the
river, with few exceptions, and these and tho
foreman righted up the boats for the descent.
and passed over in safety, the lower slope Of
the dam being little more than steep plain.
Some swan ashore above the dam, others
passed over the dam, and after the boats had
made the descent, SO great was the panic
that some jumped of, and one was near being
drowned. The foreman peremptorily com.
manded negro man not to leave the boat,
just as he was about getting into the water
the man jumped into the hold and seized q
timber. and went over in safety. Mr.. Nc.
Reary was here for the purpose of receiving
his estimates, and left yesterday for the scene
of this shocking disaster. Six white men
and nine blacks were drowned. s,A
