Acquittal OF Governor Robinson.
Special Correspondence Of the Missouri Dem.

Lawrence, Aug. q, 1857.
Gov. Robinson was acquitted yesterday
forenoon.
The jury We're out nine hours There
was an animated debate III the iury-room.
At first, learn, they stood ten for a YER
diet Of GUILTY, to two FOR an acquittal l.
They were all Pro-siavery men.
The Judge had distinctly charged them
that, If they found that the prisoner, at
any tune, had assumed TO be Governor Of
the State Of Kansas, they must find him
guilty. The defense had always admit
ted this fact.
The two Jurors, however, did not ac-
cept such instructions. They refused to
believe in the eXIstence of State In this
part OF the country. They came out, after
they had discussed the question some time,
and asked that the case be re-opened for
further evidence on that point. This very
verdant request, of course, was refused.
AT O'Clock, therefore they returned
a verdict Of Sor guilty. 1t was we'll for
their health and neclls that they did so.
~ haste, JACOBIUS.

E. S. Monroe, banker, is reported

Attachments to the amount of over
81 500 900 against the Ohio Life Insur-
ance and Trust Co. have been issued to-
day.
1t is currently reported that Messrs.
Delany, Dalin & Clark, bankers, and
John Thompson, banker and broker, and
publisher of the Counterfeit Detector have
failed. The liabilities of the Ohio Life
Insurance and Trust Co. are estimated at
from So 100000 to S7,0O0,OOO. About
800 900 in checks paid out by the N. Y.
agency on Saturday and Monday are un-
paid. Brown, Brothers & Co., and 9TH
ers have placed an attachment upon the
assets of the Company. The Sheriff and
his deputies are in charge of the office
and property. The immediate embarrass-
ment of this Company arose, we under
stand, from its inability to meet loans
made by it of some Banking House in the
streets. The proceeds of these loans had
been used in sustaining Western R. r
Companies, one of which is said to have
received advances exceeding half a mil
lion. The President states in a card that
the capital of the Company, $4,000 900,
is sound and reliable, exclusive of such
losses as may arise from the insuficiency
of securities for loans made by the Com
pany.

Of the completion Of the Atlantic teIe-

agreed upon by the Committee, in which,
from the American terminus as central
point, the command, Shout with mighty
voice shall be sent through Great Britain

States, wherever connecting lines may
lead to. At this moment let all men who
may be congregated forS any purposes
such as merchants on Change, operatives,
schools, SC, &c, send up three simulta-
neOus cheers. Let the two great kindred
nations, thus wonderfully linked togeth-
er, at the same moment interchange grand
national salutes from their chief naval
and commercial harbors. Let bands Of
music and organs on the side Of England,
play Hail Columbia and the Presidents

Queen or any other national English air
are simultaneously played. To these ma

guration of 50 eventful an epoch, let any,

Terrible Disaster On Long Island Sound.

a terrible disaster occurred on Long
Island Sound last Saturday evening be-
tween the steamer Metropolis Of the Fall
River route and propeller en- route for
New London. The propeller was struck
by the steamer and sunk almost immedi-
ateiy, carrying thirteen passengers, who
were asleep in the cabin, to a watery
grave. 1t seems that the cabin door was
made fast with shattered timbers and pre-
vented their escape. The cause of the
collision is attributed to The fact that the
pilot of the steamer mistooll the propel-
Ter for a schooner and undertook to pass
her to the left instead of to the right.
A thrilling incident is related by an eve
witness Of the disaster. A woman hold
ing an infant in her arms, was seen slrug-
Cling IN the water. y rope was thrown
TO her, which she could have easily clutch
ed and saved her life, by releasing her
hold of her infant: the almost frantic
crowd upon the steamer cried out to her
to save herself by laying hold of the rope
she saw it-felt ii within her reach, but
her mothers heart triumphed over the
instinct Of self preservation. She would
not relinquish the child, but pressing it
closer to her breast they sank together.

Wonderful, but True.

A few days since, Mr.. James FL. Beadle, of
Huntsville, Alabama, called on US and gave us
permission to publish for the benefit of suffer
ing humanity, the astonishing cure which had
been effected in the case of his wife by the use
of DR.. Hanee's Vegetable Epileptic Pills. He
informed us, that at the time his wife COM
mcnced using the medicine, her system was SO
entirely prostrated, by the number Of spasms
she ha.i undergone, as to reduce her weight to
100 lbs. Since she has been taking the pills,
she has entirely got over the spasms and has
gained in weight and bodily health. She now
weighs at least 200 lbs and declares she is in
better enjoyment of health than ever before in
her life. Mr.. Beadle also related the case of
Mr.. Harrison Lightfoot, of the same town, who
has been entirely cured Of the worst form of
Epilepsy by these same pills. Mr.. Lightfoot's
case was SO bad that he never passed week
without having an attack, often falling down
in the street He has not had an attack for
more than year. Mr. Beadle thinks that If
the pills ever fail in curing case, it is for the
want of proper perseverance ON the part of
the person in taking them, as he feels assured
from observation in the case of his wife, that if
they are taken for sufficient length of time.
they will cure any case. Sent to any part of
the country by mail, on the receipt of remit
tanee. Address SETH S. HANcE, 1913 Balti-
