MERRY TINE IN MtssoURI.-The editor
Of the Warsaw (Mo) Democrat was beat
en- for the Senate in the late election
Nevertheless, he makes light of it, and
thinks it merry time in Missouri. He
says:
"The antics are rejoicing, because the
friends Of Col. Benton hav'nt sufficient
number Of representatives elect to return
him for the Senate; the Benton men are
rejoicing because the antics hay'nt enough
to elect Atchison; the Wings are rejoicing
because neither wing of the Democratic
party have sufficient number to elect Sc
nator; while the Benton Democrats and
some of the antics, are rejoicing because
the Wings have not the power to elect q
Senator. What glorious time p

which she, of course, was free to grant.

HoNons TO THE BRAvE.-A card signed by all
the United States Navy officers rescued from the
San Francisco by the barque Kilby is published,
returning their sincere thanks to F. K. Murray, U.
S. Navy, for the noble conduct and nautical skill
displayed by him during the trying scene through
which they passed, IRON the moment OF The dis
aster until their arrival at New York. They add,
in conclusion, that they shall appeal 10 the head
OF the Navy Department 10 do him honor.
Col. Gates also publishes card commenting
the gentlemanly bearing and able seamanshlp of
Capt. Watkins; and Ii. Murray card, i'll which
he says the proposition made on bonrd the Kilby,
when they had lost sight of II San francisco, to
steer for the nea est shore, lased upon the
reasonable ground tina: by SO doing they would be
better serving their distressed shpmates by quickly
sending them other assistance. The proposition,
however, which. came from the captain of tile
Kilby, was not entertained, all, including the
ladies in the calm, being in favor of continuing
the search. He also says the officers did not leave
the steamship according TO rank. Several of those
on board the Kilby were there on duty, providing
cr the comfort of the troops and were carried off
by the accidental separation of the ships.
