A Picture

We met gentleman to-day who had
spent the last four days in Sandusky. He
says none but an eyewitness can picture
the utter wretchedness Of that place. So
many have died leaving children and de-
penden:s unprovided for, so many have fled
leaving houses untenanted, and property
uncared for, that it seems, truly, doomed
and deserted city, The bakers have fled,
there is no bread-the butchers haveilef!,
there is no meat;, no milk-men come to
town, no body from the country, all is
desoialion. Children whose parents have
died, especially the Germans, 60 crying
through the streets wanting friends, care
and food. This gentleman saw squad of
four lite ones yesterday morning, who had
been wandering about,he did not know how
long and crying for their parents. He
took them to his lodgings, gave them break
fast, and reported them to the Mayor who
provided temporary shelter for them. To
add to the horrors of the place, The dogs
who have los, their masters, either by death
or fright, when night comes set up howl
such as is peculiar to that animal, and
which whenever heard, sounds most unwel-
come. He saw the big pit bef1re it was
closed, which contains the thirty dead
bodies. He left this morning, not that he
feared the pestilence, but that he had seen
enough of human misery Cleveland

C. The following letter from Gen. Tay-
lor's Secretary Of State, John NJ. Clayton.
furnishes additional evidence that the sym
patbies Of the Taylor administration are
with the oppressed. As our neighbor Of the
Whig feels @bound to keep his friends ad-
vised Of the indications in the political hori-
aon,s he should certainly place before them
this startling evidence that the symathies of
the administration are for freedom:

The Manufactures Of Akron.

Under this head the last Summit Beacox
contains description of The various facto.
ries in its place. By its showing we learn
that Austin & Brothers Powper Mill, J
& w. G. Raymond's Woolen Factory, J.
& H. Allen &Co's Factory, aud G. D
Bates d Co.'s Furnace, are in active ope
ration and doing prosperous business
We are glad to learn these facts. we
think, however, the Wing papers are some'
what short.sighted in thus voluntarily pro-
ducing evidence that convicts them Of at
least false prophecy with reference to the
effect that would be produced by the Tar.
iff of 1916, and as there is possibility
that the Wing leaders and Wing presses
will wage crusade against this measure.

More Of the Old Beggar Woman.

The Cincinnati Commercial gives the
following additional particulars respecting
the old beggar woman, who died in that
city some days since. The account of her
death appears in another column:
"Oficer J. LINK gave US yesterday
some more singular facts connected with
the old beggar woman, ELlzABETH MORE
LOCK-, whose death we mentioned yester-
day. She died in the night, and in the
evening lighted candle was placed upon
a stand beside the bed. her idiotic daugh.
ter, the hunchback, being the only attend.
ant-though, for part of the time, the ply
sician was present. The old woman
opened her eyes, and perceiving the burn
ing candle, ordered it to be blown out,
saying that she could not afford to pay for
it.
"When first taken sick, she ordered the
chest which was, after her death, found to
contain money, to be placed beside her
bed, and she kept it within reach Of her
arms during the whole other sickness; and
when the death struggle came on, she was
told that she must die, she fang herself up
on the chest, and clawed it in her wild
avarcious phrenzy, umtl she tore the rery
nails from her fingers, and thus embrace
ing the ill.gotten treasure, her spirit took
its flight where?
"One fact we overlooked in our notice
yesterday An old stove in the room was
found, after her death, to contain con.
siderable amount Of silver and copper coin,
carefully slowed away. The money and
effects have been placed in the hands of an
executor appointed by the Court.
"Mr. LINK informs US that in 1910, ,wher
small change was so scarce, this woman
made handsome speculation by selling
five hundred dollars worth at one time to /
single individual! This money was accu
muated by beggary by herself and her id
iolic daughter. The latter was general,
Aogged, upon her return home at night
when she did not make good days wor
of it, and was al1oays whipped before sh
was sent out IN the morning! The erie
of the poor creature, while under the lasl
other avaricious mother, have frequentl
excited the indignation Of the neighbol
hood. The poor idiot herself was yes,er
day under an attack of cholera, and
probably numbered with the dead!
"rhus closes the struggles OF caree
of misery; misery that has its soothing bali
in the Indictment penury and a graspin
avarce that in life was monomania, an
in death stands but n, q monument of val
folly! What is left of all That for whic
they struggled will be scattered no on
knows where, but not jot Of it will sofie
the pillows upon which they take thei
eternal sleep. 1t will not even buy lea
drop to moisten the sprouting grass blad
, upon their graves-tor living to themseI,
es, aloof from society, and knowing n
! friends and no friends knowing them. the
depart only with the sigh that pity a"akeI
, that pity which sorrows that hum init
can fal. so iowo.'

An Extra from the Office of the Savan.

the U. 5. steamer Ornus, Cant Wilson
we have received intelligence Yin 81 Ap'
gustlne, that the Indians have again renew.
ed hosiilitles.
SAVANNAH, Saturday Evening, July 21
Information has been received in this
city, from Florida, stating that the remain.
ing Seminoles have become hostile. md
committed numerous depredations on | ndi,n
River in South Florida. From the hes,
information, we learn tha, in the early
part of last week the Indians made an NJ.
tack on the settlements on Indian River, in
st. LucIe county, and commenced plunder-
ing the houses and firing on the settlers.
The Indians were in considerable mum.
bers; so much so that a defence by the
whites was entirely impossible.
One person, a Mr.. Baker, was killed.
and his body horribly mutiated.
Major VIM. F. RUSSELL deputy collector
at Indian River, was shot in the Arm, and
it is feared that his family have fallen in.
to the hands of.he Indians, as they have
not been heard Of since.
A number Of other persons, mostly fe
males. are also missing.
The settlers were obliged to leave theil
dwellings and take to the river and come
up the coast outside.
| Some twenty men, women and children
have arrived at St. Augustine, who repor
that others are on their way.
1t is reported that dispatches have beer
forwarded 10 Washington, stating the facts
and likewise that an express has been sen
10 Tampa by The commanding officer a
St. Augustine.
The settlers on the frontier are becom
ing generally alarmed, and are movin,
into the large settlements for safety.
The Military post Of Tampa being tn
residence Of the former Agent, has give
the Indians an excuse for coming into tn
settlements, thereby throwing them int
contact with the whites.
The Indians are well supplied with arm
and ammunition, and scattered in smal
parties throug hout the frontier, rs they vii
be, will give serious trouble.

U The whig papers and politicians are
comforting themselves with the suggestion
Of Gen. Taylor's new organ, the Republic,
that the Democratic party Ks dissolved, "
and *has not single principle or doctrine
to reconstruct itself upon" This may be
cheering music to whiggery, bat they will
find in due time that the organ is playing
fals.tto. Unless the whig party has stolen
upon the democratic platform and adopted
our measures, we have them yet to contend
for; if they have, we are ready to take an
ether step in the path Of progress. But the
organs piping may serve to keep up the
courage Of whiggery.
But upon what principles is whiggery
going into contest. and by what means
are they going to rally the masses to their
support? Will they plant themselves upon
the Philadelphia platform, and appeal to the
people for support by secret circulars prom
hing the bestowal of Office as the reward
for partisan services?

en- in season, the disease has never made its
appearance, though it has scattered death
in every direction around them.
