TERRIBLE CASE OF SUFfERING--7To Persons Of.
an Island Fee Days Without Food.--On Sunday
night last, two brothers. James and VIM. Mason,
aged respectively Is and 20 with no clothing un
except pants and shirt. which were dripping wet
went to the residence Of benjamin +. Watkins,
abou. ten miles above this city. near the Missis-
sippi river, aud solicited help Dir Watkins took
them in and kindly provided for their wants.
They were almost furnished for want of food. their
feet black and swollen, their hands frozen, and nj.
together Mr. Watkins says they presented heart
rending sight. When sufficiently recovered they
told the story OF their suferings.
They had come down the Illinois river, having
under their charge small raft, which they inten-
ded to unite with large at the mouth of the
Missouri. When near the mouth of the latter
stream, at about ii o'clock Mt night, a steamboat
passed, the waves from which broke their float
apart, and they were left struggling in the water
on single log. They 1oated down the river. and
on the LIST day of December effected landing Mt
Wilson's Island, situated at about ten miles above
this city, surprising ii to be the main land
I0ping to receive succor, and fearing to attempt
to swim the swift current of the Mississippi they
remained on the island five days and nights with
out food or shelter In the mean time they hailed
several passing boats, but unable u obtain
any assistance from them. On Sunday night last
they managed to secure a log, on which, after
throwing of all their clothing except shirt and
pants, they embarked and succeeded ia swimming
70 the main land and reaching the house of Mr..
Watkins, about two miles from the island. in the
condition as Above narrated.
Mr.. Watkins says he at frst supposed their feet
would have to be amputated, but now thinks they
wlh escape with only the loss Of few t0es.--&.

The sent;meuts of the state Organs re
garding the Express & Herald.

The Dubuque Erpress d Herald IN
defending itself against the charges
brought against its editor by the Dem.
ocrat and the Hon. j. o. Williams, has
seen fit to assume a position of extra
dignity and injured innocence. We
have heretofore published the opinions
of number of democratic organs re-
garding the omnipotent }. u. Dorr
and his honesty. We have a number
of similar clippings and remarks en-
dorsinp the course of the Democrat in
urging an utter reputation of the Er-
press d Herald as democratic organ
but have to day, space only, for the fol-
lowing from the Maquoketa Sentinel,
the democratic organ of Jackson
county.
From the State Democrat Of Aug.
9Th, we take the following scathing
rcbuke Of that contemplate whlpper-
snapper, J. b. Dorr, of the Dubuque
HeroJ. The people of this county
know him of old, and are well acquain-
ted with the ''rue or ruin" course pur-
sued by him while residing in this
county some years ago. Candidly, we
have more fear of the evil results arl-
sing from the course the Herald has
seen fit to pursue, than from the vcr-
est black republican sheet in the State.
Not because he has directly any great
cr influence, but the evil consequences
Of having in the camp a TRAITOR in
disguise" are well known to all.
In regard to the Hon. J. O. Williams
upon whose communication our first
direct attack was based, the Sentinel
says:
Mr.. Williams, the author of the
communication, is an old and well
tried Democrat, and any charges made
by the HeraM against such men, will
