From The Baltimore Sun, we gather
the following additional items.
The Hon. ]. w. Tyson, Cd Asssis-
tant Postmaster General, had his bat
cut--and apiece of the gun, about six
Inches in length, quietly rested on the
top of his head.
The Hon. Mr.. Wickliffe had started
TO 20 on deck with Judge Upshur,
when some ono below called--detained
him for second, and thereby saved
his life.
The Secretary Of War, 10 avoid the
crack Of the gun, advised The President
10 90 below, where they were sitting
when the calamity happened.
The legs Of Messrs. Upshur and
Gilmer are shockingly mutilated.
Capt Stockton, as soon as the shock
overwhelmed him, caught his chin,
then c'appcd his hands on each side OF
his face, and was in the act of !eaping
overheard when he was caught by the
Hon. ]. w. Tyson.
The Nadisonien says:
The brcech ofthe gun was severed,
and carried away The bulwark of the
ship opposite il. Ii was the iron frag-
ments, it is supposed, which struck
down so many On board, and who
could not have been behind the gun.
The accident took place about sunset.
A steamboat from Alexandria, which
was passing, was sent back to town,
and returned with several surgeons.
p. SIN addition to the above,
we learn, says the Gazette, from let
ter to The Cincinnati Times, that Col.
Benton and Capt. Stockton are $50 Sc
riously wounded as to render their re-
covery doubtful. Five seamen were
killed."
The President made narrow es-
cape, having been advised by Mr.. Up
shur, a momcn, before, TO retire below
10 avoid the shock!

DEMOCRATIC LOUISIANA.
AT CADIZ, SEPIEMBER 5, lSl4.

= Yes, Democratic louisiana There is nc
mistake about it. The Federal party won't &C.
knowledge themselves defeated in Louisiana
until after tho 9TH of August, when the election
takes place in Kentucky. They crow and braa
for effect. We claim Louisiana to be Demo
cratic State, and here are our reasons:
We have elected three members of Congress-
and the coons only one. We would have had
all four, but the Democrat who was defeated by
only few votes, did not get home in time tc
canvass his District, while his coon opponent
was busy all the time.
We have majority in the Senate, but the
wings have a majority in the House, allowing
them to count Conservatives, and certain persons
in the city of New Orleans. We have no doubt
but the election will be set aside in New Or
leans, as hundreds of legal voters were not al
lowed to vote. However, there is no United
States Senator to be elected in Louisiana, and
even if the wings should have majority on joint
ballot, it will be of no avail to them
We have a large majority of Delegates tc
amend the State Constitution. OF course the
Convention will adopt Democratic form Of Go.
vernment, extending the elective franchise, abol-
sh the property qualification in voters, which
will increase the Democratic strength in the
State probably two or three thousand. The
great question was the Convention, and in it we
have triumphed gorousy
Besides all this we have large majority o.
the popular vote in Louisiana probably $500.
The wings in Louisiana eiectionoered as hard
on the Texas question as the Democrats, and Of
course it aided one party no more than the
other

To tie Editor of the Cadis Sentinel:


To the Editor of the Cadiz Sentinel:
This morning, we had the pleasure of wtnes-
sing one of the noble displays of Coonery. The
scene took place i'll front of Mr.. Stewards store
The first thing we saw was the man with the bro
ken heart and soft head, prominentleader among
the whig decency of the town, ordering the bows

second story, stood some dozen amazons, who
have made some practical Improvements in the
doctrines of Fanny Wright waving in full view
of the heterogeneous crowd below, few sken
rags of French manufacture, stuck on the endsol
blue poles. Their brazen faces were wreathed
with a few puckered smiles Of aristocratic enthu-
siasm and masculine vanity, as the coons below
looked up with admiration at them and their ban
Iners But TO avoid any mistake, gentle reader,

/ deep mourning. Three of them stood at one
window, and one displayed her ivory and for
wardness al another-their sable habiliments re-
mnd'ng all who looked that way, Of the fatal loss
which they mad suffered, and the sincere sorrow
with which they remembered departed friends
while their bold pleased looks, their loud gggng
and their gaudy banners, were the very thing 10
grace coon carousal in the streets. Itwas like
the puritan piety ofFrcnghuysen in its nausoous
alliance with the western blackleg, duelist, and
Iadulterer
Two women held longer pole than the rest
with longer piece of French silk fringod with
bobnett This was designed as a present from
the Cadjz coons of the feminine gender to the
band who, Gall pure wings without straightout

which teaches that I" it is a shame for woman
to speak in public" A naxen-haired medical
student, who had been appointed to express the
tender emotions Of the band then arose, and
stammered forth few pathetic sentences in a
very moumful tone. He told them our fathers
had fought the revolution--that their bones were

tie flag. Washington was looking at them from
the sky, and Harrison too, wondering if they
had any hard cider to make them cheer. The
" brOhea-hcdrted" then gave few claps with the
rest of the foos--the band started off, the boys
followed them, the female coons drew in their
unblushing faces, and the scene closed.

becoming perfectly demcnted! One week they
say that Col. Polk is in favor of FREE TRADE;
and the next week, they charge him with voting
for tariff even on tea and cof1ee How conss-
tent!
BY reference 10 the proceedings Of the extra
session of the whig Congress, in lS4l, il will be
seen that MIR. Woodbury. proposed to modify the
tariff bill (hen under considerations so as 10 al
low tea and coffee to come in duty free. HEN
RY CLAY, and nine other wings, voted against
the proposition of Mr. Woodbury.. Before the
vote was taken, Harry of the West' made a
speech against exempting tea and coffee from
taxation, and declared that as " he feared he
,cas to be deserted By portion of his friends, he
hoped some Of those opposed TO him oould rotc
for this tar."-But although several of his
friends deserted him, no democrat could be

SAMUEL F. LIGGETT.

015- Deacon WHITE, of the Pittsburgh Ga.
zette, who has been a bitter and yindictive Anti
mason and Abolitionist, for the last few years
was, since the nomination of Henry Clay, pur-
chased by the whg party, "body and soul, Gfhe
has any,) horse, boots and spurs," to support
STAKEHOLDER, mason and duellist for the Presi-
dency. The sum of 50 eco was paid for this
mass of corruption, this pocket edition of Bene
dict Arnold and Simon Girty. As one traitor is
worse than ten Turks, this fellow White appears
to labor hard for bis douceatu We don't suffer
his filthy sheet TO pollute the pure atmosphere
that fans our forehead, but a friend in Pittsburgh
has sent us number, in which the Deacon
states positive falsehood in regard to the SENT.
mel We never said that Neville B. Craig, DR..
Eder, &c, were supporting "Polk, Dallas and
Texas" but we have said chat they were leading
Harrison men in lS4O, and refuse to support
Henry Clay in 1874, in common with hundreds
and thousands of others in Pennsylvania. I'm
like the Deacon, federal shinplasters could not
purchase them like cattle at the bulls head; and
hence, as moral and conscientious men, they
will never assist in placing in the Presidential
chair, the Southern backlog, the man that John
Randolph said "stinks and shines, and shines
and stinks, like a rotten mackerel by moon.
