by the arrival yesterday, Of the Aleonia, on

New Orleans on the 4th instant On Sunday
last, between the hours OF 5 and O'Clock, as
she was running in somewhat dense fog, near
Island No. 10, she struck on the wreck of the
Chiilicothe and soon went down
The officers placed as much Of the cargo as
they could in fiat-boats, which had been brought
alongside, and at once proceeded to exert their
best efforts to save the machinery. The George
town was the first boat that came up after the
accident occurred, but she did not stop
The Aleonia was the ext that hove in sight,
aud she, answering the hail, came alongside.
By great exertions, considerable quantity of
the freight was recovered, and placed on her,
and was brought safe to the city
The cargo consisted Of some 1000 packages
of assorted merchandise, consigned to the fol-
lowing firms in this city Woodruff &, Co,

Capt Eaer had telegraphed to Memphis for
the purpose of getting the 'Submarine M. A.
which was at work at the wreck ofthe Pawnee,
to come to his assistance. Should it arrive at
seasonable period, the greater portion Of the
freight will be recovered in damaged condi-
ton, and a vigorous effort to raise the boat will
be made. At any rate, the engines, ect. will be
got out without injury. We had almost forgot

which were on deck, were thrown over.
We regret to say that there is not dollar o.

impression that Messrs. L,wrie and Peerman
were insured, but find that it is not so.

This is a grand scheme for attracting the

THE DEMOCRATIC JUBILEE ONMON-
DAY

Monday was glorious day for the democra-
cy for Dubuque. Without any previous notice,
Gen. Shields arrived among us and was greeted
by very large and respectable gathering of the
people. The General commenced speaking a
little after three and continued until after five.
His speech partook largely Of historical Incl
dent. He reviewed the principles and course
Of the two parties and illustrated with great
force the uniform opposition of the whig party
TO the government in time Of war and condemn
cusation in whig prints and among whig orators,
that Cen Pierce proved himself coward in
Mexico, as the vilest calumny that was ever at
tered, and in bestowing upon Gen. Scott the
credit of being master, military spirit, he
showed that those who distinguish themselves
most in every war, for valor, are those, whose
history is never written; and he denounced
with becoming dignity and spirit, the mser-
able Greeley pictorial carrca,ure of General
Scott.
His concentrations upon the private soldier
were truly eloquent and noble. The Generals
speech was one, which addressed itself power
fully to the judgment and candor of every
thinking man and has no doubt had very ia
vorable effect upon the minds of those, who had
the pleasure Of hearing him.
In the evening, Hon. Geo. H. Williams ad-
dresse the people from the same stand, in front
Of the City Hotel, in speech Of great force
and power. Mr.. Williams is an able man, and
as an Elector, is doing noble service for Pierce
and King.
Mr.. Williams was frequently interrupted dur
ing the evening, by the explosion of fire crack
ers thrown into the crowd We were astonsh-
ed and mortified to witness such disposition on
the part of few of our whig neighbors. They
showed calling of the kind 1t is not only dis
reputable but it argues weakness in their cause
and rapid sinking away of their hopes.
! When it was found that Mr.. Williams could
not be driven from his position by fire crackers,
hurrah was raised, and ssme fifty or sixty men
and boys, headed by Mr. Van Deverc of the
Surveyor Generals office, marched to the cor
ner of the Globe Building, where Mr.. V. mount
ed box and gave the boy one of his accustom-
I ed speeches.
j We do not bjec' to Mr.. VS.. speaking when
he does it at the right time and in the right
place but we think he was in exceedingly
small business, attempting to break up the dem
ocratc meeting.

From the above statement, it would be fair TO
add the amount appropriated under MIR. Tyle,'s
administration, to the democratic column, for
the wings repudated him and his administration
before he had yet signed any bill for Harbors
and Rivers.
Besides the bills he signed for those objects
were mostly passed by Democratic Congress
during his last two years,
Now, the whg party contend, from the
above statement, that is the only party friendly
to Rivers and Harbors
Figures show the democracy has, when in
power, appropriated $40, 1868 35 for Harbor
and River improvements, while the wings, In.
cluding Mr.. Tyler's admiration, and running
back into the very heart of Federalism. have
appropriated $2,4s2,7G7 SO Its said that
democrats have held power longer than the
wings but the Democracy has not been without
power at any time, and if they have been the
enemies OF Harbor Improvements how have the
wings succeeded IN getting any appropriations ?
1t is said, too, that but little has been contrbu-
ted to Lake commerce-it is surely right to
answer that Lake commerce and Lake neces-
sites have grown up to consequence within the
last twenty years 1t is, indeed. idle-it is worse
than idle--t is wicked and sinfu! for the wings
to claim special friendship for Harbor Improve
ments.

RoBBEHy ON a STEAMBoAr.-At an early
hour in the morning, the watchman of the
steamer Excelsior, detected thief in the act Of
breaking into Of the state rooms He at
once gave the alarm, and went up the levee and
procured the services Of officer Finnegan, who
on Fastening down to the boat, asceraneG that
the robber had made off Upon investigation, it
was found that three or four Of the passengers
were robbed Of sums varying from $40 to $25.
REwARp FOR SLaSDER We are told that
the wings paid thirty dollars yesterday, for hav-
ing inserted in mn evening paper gross calum-
nv upon respectable Catholic clergyman Of
his honest parishioners. Thirty dollars! Just
the number IF pieces of silver Judas got for be
traying his Lord and Master. Will those who
gave it and those who received it, act with the
same honest remorse Judas did, and 90 and hang
themselves for having committed such an act
of bnsiness' We do not believe they will,

should do ~
