ATHR1LLrNG IScIoENr.-The Augusta (Geo)
Chronicle relates the almost miraculous escape
of little girl, about eleven years of age, who
was washed away by the late flood in the Sa-
vannah river, and taken up in the stream about
twenty five miles above Augusta. The Chroni-
Gle says -
"The story and adventures of this little girl we have
obtained from herself She is the daughter Eliza of
poor widow lady, Mrs Sarah Stone, who lives on the
river near Furgerson's ferry on the South Carolina
side. She says the first ntmaton they had of their
danger they surrounded by the river, when her
mother, daueher older than Eliza, brothers
younger than herself and faithful dog fled TO the top
of their little cottage after which the house
| carried by the current. One after another found
watery grave Eliza and the dog only clingng to the
wreck when she came in sight of the boat of Captain
Joseph Stanton, of Petersburg, who had dashed his
boat to n tree, she succeeded in making her cries
heard. Capt $. Immediately reused his hands who
were all asleep and gave chase, and after pursuing
her about three miles, overlook and rescued her and
the dog from their perilous situation. Captain says
she was on few shingles, which We're supported
by feather bed being all that left of the house
on which she started on which frol bark she had
descended the river II miles when she was picked up.

HORRIBLE DEATH One of the most horrible scenes
was witnessed in this county Tuesday that has
ever come under observation. Bartholomew
Vosburgh, residing in Danube Herkimer county left
his residence in the forenoon of Thursday the 9th inst.
in order to carry grist TO mill, some three miles dis
tant. Having been subject 10 Incorporate habits it 10,
supposed he became intoxicated on his way home
He arrived safely, though escaping many dangers.
within about halt mile Of his residence when he
seen TO fall from the wagon, with his leg remaining
fast al some place in the forward part of it. Thus,
suspended by his leg with the upper part of his body
upon the ground his horses at the height fther speed
he dragged past his residence, when his leg
severed torn from his body, aud he left laying
in the road, horribly mangled. No trace of feature
was left. His arm and shoulder were broken, 10.
gether with his ribs on one side, and one leg which
part lost, and the remainder twice broken. The
VIII ole body together presented most horrible spec
tacle; and yet surprising as II may seem, he lived
some four hours after being picked up in the road and
appeared 10 be rational. The heart-strickcn wife,
alarmed by the rafting noise of the wagon ran to
stop the horses, when her horror she beheld her
husband dragging beneath the wagon, with his face
downward, coming IN contact with every lmpedment
rough road produced. Horrible must have been
the sight of this melancholy scene; but may she con-
sole herselfby trusting 10 mcrcliu God, who Will
comfort all the mourning and apply soothing balnr
TO every wounded bosom.

FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 26, 1910.
STATE CONVENTION,

We have delayed our paper some hours, in
the vain hope of being enabled to give our
readers the proceedings in full; but this we
find utterly impossible to do. We had cal
culatcd for convention, mcrely-not one
of those popular demonstrations which we
hear of at the west; but such we have had
AN asscmblagc of the people themselves
and in attempting to describe it, we find the
subject growing so fast upon our hands as to
render any thing like faithful detail of its
proceedings impossible this week. We
therefore after some three or four columns
are in type, find ourselves compelled to
defer the whole for our next sheet, and con-
tent ourselves for the present with the bare
announcement, that the asscmbagc was un-
doubtedy the largest of the kind ever con-
vcncd in New England. We have no
means of knowing the exact number, but it
is variously estimated, by good judges, at
from fifteen to twenty thousand persons.
Hon. Solomon Foote presided, assisted by
fourteen Vice Presidents, and Geo. B. Man.
ser acted as Secretary. The old ticket for
State officers was unanimously renominated
and vote taken to elect them, by at least
six thousand majority. The Convention was
ably addressed by Messrs. WILSON, of New
Hampshire, CULVER of New York, UpHAM
of Montpelier, ADAMS of Burlington, and
BRIGGS of Richmond-a sketch of whose re-
marks will accompany our account of the
proceedings.
Under this arrangement those who have
ordered extra papers will not be served till
next week, and others desiring to send papers
abroad, will please to give us early notice.

cd. Power is insnuting. Few men arc satisfied
with less power thonhey ore able to procure If the
ladies whom see aound me, were near enough to
hear me, and of sufficient ago to give an experimental
answer, they wou tell you that no lover is ever sa-
tslied with the hrsishle of his mistress.
II is necessary, therefore, TO watch not the politi-
cal opponents of an administration, but the admins
tration scf and toioo that keeps within the bounds
of the Constitution and the laws of the land. The
Executive of this Union has immense power to do
mischief, II he scesfi TO exercise that power.-He
may PROSTATE the country. Indeed this country has
been alrady prostraed. 1t has already fallen from
pure rcp,bcansln, tt monarchy in spirit if not IN
name.
A celebrated author defines monarchy TO be that
form of,overnment in which the Executive has once
the the Command of the army the execution of the
laws AM the control of the purse. Now, how is it
with ouiprescnt Executive The Constitution gives
to hun he control of the army, and the execution
OF the lws. He now only awaits the possession OF
the purs to make him Monarch. Not Monarch
simply, With the power Of England, but Monarch
with poscrs of the Autocrat of Russia For Gibbon
says tina an individual possessed of these powers
wlll uhcss closely watched, make himself despot."
The passage of the Sub-Treasury bill will give to
the Precedent an accumulation of power that the Con-
stitutiorwithho! Ids from him Monarch. This cat

termaster's Department, has been governed by no
other considerations than those of tho public interest
and that ho has honestly and faithfully discharged his
duties
The facts upon the investigation turned out
TO be simply these: that Lendrum and Du-
scnbury had given contracts to wings, who
bid lower than their loco foco competitors.
This is tho persecution" complained Of
this the "great wrong done to the democratic
party"-thesc the "just claims" which the
democratic convention of the city of Bati-

purposes does the President prostitute his
high functions. But thus it is we OCCASION
ally get glimpse at the movements behind
the scene. Here is an avowal of the princi-
pie and a recognition of by the President,
that partizans of the administration arc enti-
tied to pccuniary advantage in the giving
of contracts; and If it had been in the power
of Mr.. Van Buren,, these men would have
been removed from office on the strength OF
this "conGdcntial' request, and no reasons
uiycn.
