Page, Bacon & co.
Capt. Top'l Eng'rs.
st. Paul, July Is.

We find in the San Francisco letter of
the NY. Journal Of Commerce, of the latest
date, the following interesting paragraph
The creditors of Page, Bacon 8. Co. have had sew
eral meetings the last fortnight for the purpose OF
coming to some agreement for united action on the
part of all grades of CREDITORS with view of arrang-
ing with Daniel ID. Page for settlement on the
terms heretofore stated by your correspondent to witt
the mortgaging of 300 acres OF land ST. Louis,
known as the Martin kootz tract, with years ex-
tension pay the debt. This propositions your read
will remember, was backed up by G. K. Garri-
son, but it was subsequently found that Garrsons
Gin the way proposed) furnished no additional
security, and the proposition was abandoned. Now
the whole affair is likely to end in smoke-the cred
itors here demanding true aud statement of
the affairs of the house; it being publicly charg-
ed that they have Incorporated concealed a
large amount Of bills receivable.
Besides, it now appears that many Of the general
creditors who anxious to have preferred and at.
tachng creditors surrender their claims and come in
pro rata, have been paid in full in New York by the
hocus pOcs assignments of specie rem,tances, to pay
certain drafts, TO the entire exclusion of other drafts
equally, perhaps equtably, entitled to receive
the funds so RENTED to New York. Hence they
have further interest in the matter, and thus the
by gradually drop of and retire, leaving oil
less interested to take their places. Hence the

ings between members of the Committee and other
outside creditors

In its proper place in this mornings
paper, we publish the call of W. P. MUIR.
RAY, ESQ.,, for Democratic meeting to
convene on Saturday, the 2lst inst, at the
Court House, for the election Of Delegates
to the Territorial Convention.
We hope every Democrat of the Second
Ward will consider it his duty to be present
and participate in the proceedings, in order
that there may be a full and free expires
sion o. the sentiments Of the democracy, as
to who shall represent them in the Conven
ton to assemble on the 25th inst We
trust that persons residing in the other
wards will not endeavor to take part in the
meeting. and that its deliberations may be
conducted harmoniously.

That THEATRE HAS GoNEAA gentleman
remarked tons yesterday, that let the influence
Of Theatres be what it might, there had been
more drunkenness and dissipation in this city
during the sojourn of the one Just left us, than
there had been for double the same time at anv
other period. ~
The above unjust fling is from the Times
of yesterday. The gentleman informant
must be very self-sacriicing watcher and
waiter upon the different groceries of the
city, to enable him to make so authoritative
a statement. 1t Will be observed that it is
comparative in its character, and it would
be something worth the enquring how long
this argus eyed gentleman has been
on the watch. .. ....... ... .
So far as regards the Theatre itself, it is
a miserable and unjustifable inuendo, and
captious individuals may at any time trump
up charge against any sort of public
amusement, as being the cause Of dissipa
ton. 1t is something of an insult to the
greater part of the audiences in attendance
upon the representations Of the very good
dramatic company which has just left us,
and indicates very improper spirit. A
very large and a very respectable portion of
our community chose to give a thorough
appreciation to the company, and while we
know that there are deep seated an I'M
conquerable prejudices against the drama in
any shape, we may at least reprehend the
bad spirit which, avoiding to attack the
drama itself directly and in a manly manner,
would seek to create odiun by causing the
presumption that the company was the
cause Of unusual dissipation. How the
gentleman or Editor of t! c Times can
reason out the matter in satisfactory man
ner, we cannot tell /; but we know this,
that Concerts, Negro Singers, ETC., are just
as likely to produce the evil results which
the Times deplOres.
We have no particular desire to defend
the "Theatre 1t came and has gone.
Its members behaved themselves well, and
labored assiduously in their vocation. If
there was any extra drinking during their
stay, we did not see it, and suppose it must
have arisen from the extra hot weather, and
the usual causes which exist always, with or
without Theatre.

RAILROADS AND RIVERS Judge Mclean
of the Supreme court of the United States, in
the case of the bridge over the Mississippi
river at Rock Island, decided that the bridge
was not to be considered as an obstruction to
the navigation of the river, for that railroads
had become highways in something the same
sense as rivers; neither could be suffered to be-
come a permanent obstruction to the other
according to the demands of the public con.
venience and the necessities of commerce.
This is up with the times. Rivers have no more
right to obstruct navigation on railroads than
railroads have on rivers,

singular Phenomenon.

A gentleman who arrived from Santa Clara
yesterday, relates the following:
"Some days since an artesian well was being
sunk near frame house, situated few miles
distant from the town of Alviso, on the road
leading from that place to San Jose. The
boring rod had penetrated thick layer of clay
at the depth of one hundred and sixty-four
feet, when the operators left their work for
dinner. Upon their return, after the lapse OIL
an hour, a small stream of water was spouting
from the bore to the height of about fifty feet
and with much difflcultya portion of the borig
rod was withdrawn. .....s =
One section of the rod remained in the bore
and finally this was thrown out with great We.
locity by the force of the water. A streahl Of
pure water followed, gradually increasing in
circumference as the earth was worn away by
the constant flow of water, and when our in
formant left, there was a steady discharge Of
water rising to the height of six feet, from an
aperture of about two feet in diameter. The
surrounding fats were covered by this stream
and it was found requisite to cut bitches to
preserve the road from inundation. -!Sdcramen

be- How beautifully does James Madison
bequeath the following advice to his country
ADVICE TO MY COUNTRY.-As this, if it ever
sees the light, as it will not do so till l am nc
more, may be considered as issuing from the
tomb, where truth alone can be respected, and
the happiness of man alone consulted it will
be entitled, therefore, to whatever weight may
be derived from the experience of man who
has served his country in various stations
through period of forty years who espoused
in his youth, and adhered through his life, to
the cause of liberty; and who has borne part
in most of the great transactions which will
constitute epochs of its destiny.
The advice nearest my heart and deepest in
my conviction, is that the Union of the States
be cherished and perpetuated Let the open
enemy to it be regarded as a Pandora with
her box open and the disguised one, as the
serpent creeping, with its deadly wiles, into
Paradise

Great Gale ut Maricttc, Iowa.

Marietta, the County Seat Of Marshall Co.,
Iowa, was visited by terrible storm week
before last, which blew down ten or twelve
dwelling houses, shops and stores, besides doing
great amount Of damage in other respects.
One man whose house caught fire during the
gale, and who attempted, with a young child in
his arms, to reach neighborng house, was
caught by the wind and carried over a mile,
holding on to the child meanwhile. His wife,
with another child, was fortunate in finding a
temporary shelter on the leewald side of a
barn, where she stood for hours exposed to a
torrent of rain, not daring to venture forth
from her hiding place till the wind subsidized.
One store was blown to atoms, and the goods
scattered over the prairie in an easterly direc-
ton, for miles. Iron pots, tin kettles, and
other heavy articles, were hurled great dist
ance. The rain in the meantime came down
in torrents, threatening in one or two Instances
to drown whole families, and the accompany
ing thunder and lightning were so terrific as to
make some of the stoutest hearts quail. Our
informant, gentleman residing at Independ-
ence, and who passed through this town last
week, says that many OF the inhabitants came
near dying from sheer fright, never having be-
fore witnessed anything a thousandth part So
terrible as this prairie gale.-Linn Register

EXECUTION OF SIX NEGRoEs.-A letter from
Alexandria, Louisiana, dated June 22d, saws
Mr.. Wise, the Sheriff of this parish, execut-
ed to-day the six slaves concerned in the MUIR
der of Mr.. Walters, late overseer on the plan
tation of E. II. Flint. At an early hour Of
the day, large number of persons collected
at the place designated for the execution, and
at II o'clock, when the murderers assembled
the platform of the scaffod, at least one thou
sand were present. The culprits were firm in
their steps, and neither trembled nor appeared
alarmed at their awful situation. One of them
addressed the persons present in a few words
advising those of his own class to beware OF
the temptations that are frequently placed be-
fore them-to lay aside all malice from their
hearts, and trust alone in the Divine Being
A few minutes after II o'clock the caps were
drawn over their eyes, and in another moment
they were launched into eternity.

1t is true that came 10 81. Paul leaving debt of
about $780, for horse, buggy and harness, which
had purchased IN Buffalo, day or two before left,
and which, on account of inconvenience at the time,
did not choose, neither called upon, to paw
for until a month or two afterwards but while did
this, had at the same time unencumbered real es-
tate in that city to the amount OF thousands which
the records in the Registers office will show had
been in the possession Of for years. So much for the
insinuation of insolvency.
In regard to my having become rich by the use OF
the public property ntrusted to me, pronounce the
charge unqualiGedIy ue, and call upon Mr.. Emer
son TO make good his accusation by arragnment
of me before my superiors at Washington. 1t is true
that by my credit in Buffalo, as well as by the as
sistance Of younger brother in the Army,
who before IN his minority had been assist

been enabled to lay up something of my salary, !
have been enabled during the four years that have
