"The Fulton. The clerk Of the X.
Fulton arrived about 81 o'clock yesterday
afternoon, bringing the intelligence tina,
the Fulton had gone ashore at Surgeons
Point, about Ii miles above this city, and
then broke entirely to pieces. Two wo.
men and one child were lost, all the rest
saved. We are informed that she was in
sured for $4,000, whether for any thing
more we have not been able to learn.
1t is understood that The Fulton was sent
out by the steamboat combination in oppo-
siiion to the Julia Palmer, which has been
running independent of the combination
through the season.
The bodies Of tho two girls drowned at
Huf's Hotel have been recovered.
The following are the names Of the per-
sons drowned, as Ear as we have been able
to learn:
Ellen Barney, drowned at Huff's Hotel.
A. Meto, and son, drowned near the foot
of Commercial street, on tho other side Of
the creek.
Mrs. Smith, (German) and four young
daughters.
A young man named Smith.
Mr.. Mitchell, formerly of Greene Coun.
ty.
Mrs. Catherine Smith, formerly of AL /
bany, and two children.
Mrs. O. Brian, found near the foot Of
Eagle street.
Janet Laurie supposed to have recently |
resided in Canada.
Moses White, fisherman, parents at
Willamsville. II
Mrs. Stoclicker, and three daughters,
recently from Seneca Falls.

Foundry.

evening, which were placed in collins.
others have since been recovered.
The wind during the night, though great.
ly subsidized, was still high, and there was a
heavy sea rolling. 1! was chilling cold
the severest nigh. we have had during the
season.
The Julia Palmer yet rides safely at an
Choir, where she remained since Yesterday
morning. A waich.hre was KEEP, burning
the night on the beach opposite to where
she lay. A gentleman who came over
from there this morning reports that moth (
ing had foated ashore from her during the I
night. As she is loaded with passengers
and probably on, of wood, there must have .
been much suffering on board from the iu-
tensity Of the weather.
We understand that the Great Western !
will 90 out 10 her assistance this morning. !

is firing up, and if she has wood enough

We have gained, as compared with the pop
ular vote Of 1910, about ten thousaad votes.
We have elected four Of the seven mem
bers Of Congress. and have more than an
equal chance in the two districts in which
there is no choice, while the wings have
only elected one. We have elected large
majority to both branches of the Legisla-
ture, and thus secured United State.

cast its vote for the wings in 1910, and
which very many Of them have claimed up

It appears that locofocoism runs riot in
this territory. The wings were generally
beaten at the late election both for men,
bers Of the Legislature and of the conven-
ton for framing a State constitution
Iowa is no doubt soon to be admitted into
Re Union, cursed with a constitution FORM
ed o., the most ultra locofoco principles.
The TO. egoilg sneering paragraph is
from late num, Yer OF the Louisville Jour-
nal, edited by Mr.. Cla.s's biographer'
We have only to say in reply, mat when
Iowa does enter the Union she will 30 IN
with constitution of her own hoysing;
and shonld it prove "curse" to the peo-
pie they themselves will be responsible,
and not Mr.. Prentice. The prospect Of
another democratic State being added to
the already formidable list gals the wings
bitterly, and we shall not be surprised at
finding them ready, when we come before
Congress, to throw all the obstacles they
canin the way Of our admission. Their
great leader, Mr.. Clay, has already given
them their cue in relation to this subject,
and in due time they will all be found fol-
lowing it.

run away from his former place Of abode
to get rid Of paying his sshonest debts .
thus to speak Of many Of the most respon-
sible and reputable men in our town, is the
height Of insolence; and nothing but the
generality Of the remark has prevented
it from being noticed by more than one in

D. It has been the good fortune Of the
people Of Burlington, during the past sum-
mer, to enjoy a greater exemption from
sickness and disease than at any former
season within our knowledge. The local
causes which heretofore operated SO preju-
dicially upon the general health are grad
ually being removed; and with their dis
appearance comes the result predicted BY
our first settlers, and chronicled above.
Burlington is now as healthy point as
any Of equal size on the Mississippi river,
and great deal more healthy than some
we could name with not half the popula-
ticn. Stories, we learn, are in circulation
abroad, representing the mortality Of ou'
town the present season to have been We
ry great, but they are utterly fabulous.

u The wings of New York have
nominated MlLLARD FILLMORE as their
candidate for Governor, and SAMUEL j.
WILxIN for Lieut.. Governor. Mr.. Fill
more wanted to be the candidate for Vice
President, but couldn't get his party to
nominate him. Mr.. Wright, his opponent,
was nominated by his friends, unanimous
", but declined to serve. Such is the
difference between the standing Of the two
men in their respective parties.

This eloquent and independent Kentuck-
ian, who. instead of blindly obeying the be-
hests Of MIR. Clay or amy other master,
chooses TO think, and act, and speak for
himself, has, we perceive from the Ken
lucky papers, announced appointments to
address tie people Of most Of the counties
in his State, which will last ill the cleo
ton. Mr.. Marshall goes openly for Polk
and Dallas, and against Mr.. Clay. Nay,
more-he is not only against Mr.. Clay, but
what the wings studiously enleavor to con-
ceal, he is also against nearly the whole
batch Of wing measures, such as United
States Bank, the bankrupt law, and oppc-
sition 10 the anne alton Of Texas. All
these he unreservedly denounces, in strains
ofthc most burning eloquence. The WASH
ington Globe pays the following handsome
tribute to the powers Of Mr.. NJ. which all
who have ever listened to him-no matter
Of what polilics-must acknowledge as be-
ing merited:
We are not astonished at the extraorlin-
ary admiration which Mr.. MarshalPs elo-
quence calls forth wherever it is heard
There is music in his voice, and all the
power oil an orator in his action. He has
the genius Of his celebrated uncle, Chief
JvHffce Marshall, as reasoner;-his acute,
subtle rs :c-his clear comprehensive state
mcnt--lis irresistible combination in con-
clusions. In ADDITION to these extraordin-
ary faculties for discussion, he has fervid,
poetic Imagination, which rich strong,
and vet graceful and eloquent style weaves
in with his argument, and renders his
speeches an admirable tissue Of al that
charms in oratory.
TO satisfy all who have never heard Mr..
Marshall speak, that We do not exaggerate
his powers, il is only necessary to state
(what is knownto every body in Washing
tom that when Mr.. Marshall was een er-
pecfsi to appear in debate in the House Of
Representatives, the immense galleries
were always~filled to Overlooking, and
those Of the Senate deserted, although Clay,
Calhoun, or any other Of the distinguished
debaters Of that body might be actually en-
gagged in the discussion Of most interest
ing subject. In our judgment, there is no
point Of an orator in which Mr.. Marshall
is not greatly Mr.. Clay's snperior--voice
alone excepted. Mr.. Clay's voice Is more
powerful and commanding than Mr. Mar.
ahall's, although OF more melodious Or per-
suasiye. But 50 far a. mental faculty en-
ters into the conposition Of an orator, Mr..
Clay i every way Mr.. Marshall's inferior.

Of being in your city, which has only been
prevented by the serious and prolonged in

Your letter, gentlemen, adds another to
the many manifestations Of kindness and
friendship which j, has been my good for
tune TO receive from my fellow citizens Of
the city and county of Dubuque, for which
| assure you and them, shall always en-
terrain the most lively sense Of gratitude,
and Of deep and lasting obligation. They
are Of such character, and have been SO
Of en- repeated, that, think, do not mis-
take their magnitude, nor underestimate
my own services, when regard them as
Indicating the necessity Of renewed err
tons on my part, still further to serve you
and them, rather than to appropriate TO my
self additional honors, such as those which
you have offered to bestow upon me. I
therefore, most respectfully decline their
acceptance, but in doing SO, beg leave to
remark that l hope to be with you, in a
very short time, and to have the pleasure
ofspending several days in your city, when
| shall be most happy to see you, and all
whose agent or representative | am at the
Federal city, that ! may receive Your adj
vice and instructions, as TO how, and in
what manner, can best serve you, and 50
far as It may be in my power, 70 promote
the general welfare Of our whole Territory.
With sentiments Of the most profound
