in Vinton county, about sixteen miles from
this place, on Thursday May Sd. ltap
pears that nine men had occasion to cross
the creek just below the dam, all of whom
got into a skiff or canoe with that lnten-

pany, but they ventured too far, and was
taken under by the suck or whirlpool, two
of the company, Denison McGlnnis, and
Wetherford Napper, were drowned, and the
other seven, after great exertions narrowly
escaped watery grave. The bodies of
the two unfortunate men were not found
until Monday last Since writing the a
bove we have learned that a Mr.. Malchia
Dordan, one of the persons that jumped
into the water, has died from the severe
effect of strangulation.

Canrobert, the French commander. It
is dated at Balaklava, April 18th, and
reads as follows:
"The fire continues unabated chiefly
by the artillery. The engineers are ope =

A private dispatch says the loss of life
on both sides was very heavy.
A council of war was held, and it was

The Atlantic has arrived with late date.
from Europe The Vienna conference
had been broken off and Russia rejected
the Alliances demands. Sebastopol had
been bombarded since the 9th. The re.
suit was doubtful.
New British loans had been taken.

The British loan of sixteen millions
sterling was taken by the Rothchlds.-
Taxes were increased. incomes propos-

England's assent to Louis Napoleon
taking command of the allied forces in
the Crlmea was regarded as doubtful.
The Vienna conference had been bro.

were strong indications that Austria
would refuse to act against Russia.
Lord John Russell and NJ. Drouyn De

The Bombardment Of Sevastopol with

'Tis said that distance charms the view,
And so it may with some,
But when I'm absent far from you,
wish to be near home.
Space separates us, far and wide,
But oft my feelings turn,
To former days, when near your side,
In converse sweet, at home.
Mountains rise to check my view,
And split blue ether's dome;
But still my heart strings cling to you,
And make me sigh for home.
The rivers rush majestic too,
And fonts the drifting foam;
But they just cause a wish for you,
And make me sigh for home.
The vespcr Winds steal softly through,
The forest trees to roam,
And sweetly says, I'll bear for you,
A, gentle sigh for home.
Then rise ye Mountains broad and blue,
And rivers drift your foam;
I'll bless you. for your bosoms too,
Will speed my journey home.
I'm coming home my dearest A
As soon as can come,
And when l'm there be sure I'll stay
My days with thee, at home.
