LOSS OF THE ROWENA,

The steamer Ro,cena left here on
Saturday, the 9th inst, with heavy
cargo for ST. Louis. When few miles
above ST. Charles, she ran on a rack
heap at the head of an island, which so
shattered her hull that she went down
in about three minutes. The accident
occurred on Monday, the Illh inst,,
about 2 o'clock in the afternoon
There was heavy wind blowing at
The time. and when she struck, she
swung round, and settled down on her
larboard side, TO the hurricane roof.
The passengers all escaped, and were
taken down on the Fayatoa. So quick
did she 60 down, after she struck. that
some Of the passengers had to be taken
out by cutting holes through the roof.
The papers and cabin furniture were
saved, but the boat and her cargo will
be total loss. We understand the
boat was insured for $4,000.
A large portion Of her cargo was
shipped from this place, by and on &C
count of the following persons, as near
as we can learn.
Perry 81 Bartholow, consisting OF
bale rope and wheat, amounting 10
$1,000; fully insured.
F.A. Savage, pork and lard, amount
ing to S4,9ls; fully insured.
J. w. Harris & Co.. beef, amounting
to $3.50; fully insured.
Lewis& Bros, tobacco, amounting
10 81, 575; fully insured.
w. j Stratton, some three hun
bred barrels of apples, insured.
We are pleased to learn Capt. JEW
RTr, nothing daun'ed, is making ar
engagements for another boat, which, i
successful, will cause bu, little delay il
his regular trips to this place.

ATCHISON ON SLAVERY.

ChlSON YIN SLh Ehl'
A writer in the ST. Joseph Gazette is
after Senator Aichison, with a sharp
stick, for his tergivesations on the sub.
iect of slavery, and the power of Con-
gress to egislate for the territories. lie
quotes from speech of the honorable
Senator, delivered in the Senate, in
August, ls4s, on the subjec, of estab.
fishing a territorial government for Or

For six long years have our citizens in
that Territory been without law; and here
let me remark, that whatever difference OF
opinion there may be between southern gem
llemen and myself on this subject, | have
ever been willing from the hour that two
hundred citizens planted their feet upon the
soil OF Oregon, TO give them government
and laws; either with or ptihout slavery
believe that was the first TO introduce o
bill into this body for establishing a terrIto>
rial government, in Oregon, and in that bill
| incorporated the ordinance Of 1887; and
for years heard no objection to il on that
score. There were other objections to the
bill, but none on account OF It's containing
the ordinance.
The writer comments al considera'
bic length on the position of Senator
Atehison then and now, including the
opponents of Col. Benton, and con.
cludes as follows

The colonization movements are
yearly becoming more interesting: the

has hitherto employed all its strength
in aiding the parent society and laying

are in our State many families Of
blacks who desire to migrate to Libe-

who need the aid, to furnish to each

State Of Missouri, and needing such as

When Editors disagree lUho shall decide?
There are four Wing papers in this Congress
sional District, Two OF which, the Glasgow
Weekly Times and Paris Mercury, favor the
proposition, to hold District Convention
10 nominate Wing candidate for Congress;
while the other TWO, the Boonvlle Observer
and The Missouri Statesman, see no necessl>
ty, at present, for such assemblage. There
fore, as The Wing papers disagree on the
subject, The better plan we think would be,
to leave the matter 10 the wings OF the dis
rict for them 10 decide ia their county
meetings. Although we have favored the
proposition 10 hold Convention, yet if
candidate can be selected who will unite the
Wing strength OF this district wiIhou! Con-

we want to know is, who is the strongest

TO THE WINGS OF HOWARD.

TO THE WINGS OF HOWARD.
We observe our brethren in various
counties are preparing for the August
election, by calling meetings to nomi
nate candidates for the Legislature and
various county offices. Is it not time
some action should be taken on our
part? Our opponents are already dis
cussing the subject, and will soon have
candidates in the field. Howard will
be entitled TO t,oo Representatives in
the next Legislature, and we suppose
the wings will, of course, have out can
dida,es, in every way qualified to rep
resent her interests. IL is too early yet,
to nominate, but il is not too early TO
take such preliminary steps as will pre-.
sent good men, and ensure them an I'm.
divided support.
We make the following extract from
a private letter from q friend in the cas-
tern portion of the county, and would
be pleased TO hear from our friends
generally. After abiding TO an article
