should tell him he hadn't the slightest idea

The Madison Democrat and Dubuque Herald
have expended considerable gass Of late, upon
the supposition that the Dodge, appointed to an
Indian Agency in New Mexico, was Henry l..
Dodge formerly Of Wisconsion, in place of
Leroy Dodge of Iowa, who is actually the regu-
lar appointee.
We have no doubt that the Democrat was
sincere in its belief, that Henry L., instead Of
Leroy Dodge was the appointee, but the Her
aid could not have labored under the same
erroneous impression, because it had seen and
commented upon the appointment Of Leroy
Dodge from Iowa, before it copied with editorial
approval the article Of the Democrat
But, who can expect any thing like magnani-
nifty, from those who control the columns OF
the Herald.

We understand Telegraphic Dispatch
reached this city day or two since, announcing
the arrival of the Hon. Lincoln Clark, .formcri,
Representative in Congress from this State, a,
Chicago. II will be but day OF two we ina
gine, when we shall have the honor Of seeing
him in this city if not adorned in the robes of
office, at least wearing his wonted aspect Of dig
nifty and cheerfulness. Judge Clark is nc
friend of ours-indeed, he has been among our
bitterest enemies, assailing US in public print
when his position entitled him to public conf
dencs, and treating us with contempt in the do
mestic relations of life but this is no usti6ca-
ton for savage revenge, and we entertain none
towards him. So far from il, we reverently and
deeply commiserate his present position -
He has been made the dupe and cats.paw oi
designing politicians, who cared not a straw fol
him, except TO appropriate his reputation and
talent, to the accomplishment of their vile pur.
poses. He has innocently confded to them and
their plots and Vaccinations, transparent to all
For such, it is our natnre to feel a tender soli-
citude, and although we rejoice in the appoint
ment to the Office Of Surveyor General of the
veteran pioneer and democrat, Warner Lewis,
who was fighting in this country to protect the
scattered settlements of women and children
from the tomahawk and scalping knife OF the
Savage, long before his pigmy assailants had
dropped their swaddling clothes, we cannot res.
train an involuntary emotion of sorrow at the
disa ppointment Of our old Representative.
In his retirement from the duties and respon-
sibilities ofthe public servant, we trust we shall
be excused for csmmending him, in the spirit OF
friendship and strong solicitude for his future
welfare, TO a more careful husbandry Of his re.
sources as politician.
There was a time when we felt strong in.
clination to denounce him, for his uncalled for
attack upon US; but it was upon the eve Of i'm
portant elections, and for the sake of harmony
in our ranks, we forbore. We felt it a duty to
suppress our personal grievances, in just and
generous devotion to the interests of the party.
Now, we cannot find it in our heart, to enter
up one single complaint. The rebuke has come
from another quarter-it has been overwhelm-
ing-our enemy has vanquished himself, and in
place of emotions Of exultation, we offer the
coincidence of heart, moved by sincere pity.

WRECK AND BURNING OF STEAM
SHIP PINDEPENDENCE.

On the 10Th Of March, while ON her passage
from San Juan, to San Francisco, the Steam-
ship Independence struck on Marietta Island,
off the coast of California. The Capt. immedi-
ately gave orders to back, which command was
promptly obeyed and the ship glided into deep
water. 1t was soon discovered that the ship
was rapidly filling with water and with all the
efforts of full crew and over four hundred
passengers, they could not keep the water down.
At length the water forced the furnace doors
open aud extingushed the fires. Capt. Samp-
son then determined to beach her, which he did.
Soon she struck and about this time it was dis.
covered that the vessel was on fire. This crea-
ted terrible panic and in their fright, men,
women and children threw themselves overheard
and were either swept out into the sea, or sunk
at the ships keel.
From the description given of this sad calani-
ty in the New York Herald, it must have pre-.
sented most horrible picture of alarm, suffering
and death.
According to the most reliable accounts some
10 persons perished. The following is list OF
the names of those lost

month of my life since. save the dark and ray

his possession a letter from the lamented Vice

alone, which doctrine it appears he scrupulously
adhered 10.
