standing on some planks which project
over the platform Of the mill directly
above the Falls, turning log with a
"cant hook when the hook slipped
and he fell backward down the preci-

but was swept down by the strong cur

The wretched man Johnston, now

and when their enemies came within
shooting distance, dropped twenty OF
them at the first fire. A hand to

ties fighting desperately. In this the
Sioux lost six more of the men, but
killed eleven Of the Chippewas.

BURNING OF TIE HARRISON HOMESTEAD AT
NORTH BEND. -We are informed that good
reasons exist for attributing the destruction
of the Harrison LOG Cabin" to the malg-
nance OF a reyengeful incenddiary. But it
is not deemed prudent to indicate the per-
petrator of the Infamous deed The flames
were first discovered in an apartment back
of the kitchen, in which fire had not been
used for some weeks. A son of Col. Taylor
was aroused out of sleep by the fumes and
by the cracking flames, and rerceiying
lurid glare in that room, burst upon the
door and saw the fire raging past hope. Of
extinguishment. Meantime the family was
aroused, but the conhagraton extended SO
rapidly they had barely time to escape in
their night clothes. The library formerly
owned by Gen. Harrison was destroyed,
but We are glad to state that the fine por-
trait of the revered ex-President and that
of his venerable lady We're saved unhurt-
A small lot of furniture, not worth hun
bred dollars, was also saved. But the "Old
Log Cabin, around which clustered 30 many
hallOwed historic associations, is heap of
smouldering ruins, and the fine grove which
embowered it is scattered blasted and with
cred. Persons who passed the site of the
old cabin, yesterday, describe the scene as
being an inexpressably sad one. But aside
from the sentiment which will pervade such
a catastrophe, all are called upon by hu-
mainly to sympathise with the dist, essed
occupants, who were driven from their
much loved old home They lost their all,
and are now quarted upon kndhearted
friends at North Bend.
The venerable widow of the ex-Presdent
was residing at her son's-Hon. J. Scott
Harrison-and was spared the suffering
which might have been her portion. We
deeply regret to say, however that her con
dition is such thatiher lamp of life must
soon cease to burn. 1t is said. indeed, that
her dissolution is very close at hund.-Cin-

The Judgeshtp-Th Hon A II Bennett

We inadvertently neglected in our
issue of yesterday, in compliance with
a request of several of the friends of
the Hon. Asheal ii. Bennett, to an
nounce that he is an Independent can
didate before the people Of the Seventh
Judicial District for the Office of Judge
of the District Court. We now cor
rect the error and redeem our promise
most cheerfully.
In making this announcement how
ever, we wish it distinctly understood,
that it by no means expresses the
preferences of the Democrat for Mr..
Bennett but is merely made in com
pliance with the request of a number
Of citizens and as a matter Of news to
our readers.
We do not as yet feel at liberty to
urge his claims upon the people, as the
proper action has not yet been taken
by the democratic party in reference
to the placing Of party candidate in
the field.
The Hon. James Grant, the regular
nominee of the Democratic District
Convention, having refused to allow
his name to be used, we have now no
but the District Commit
tee who alone are empowered to actin
the premises, have as vet come to no
co Inclusion upon the matter.
They have the matter now under adj
viscment, and will, we understand,
hold a meeting in this city on the
twelfth day of August inst, when it
will be determined whether another
will be placed in the field
Until that time, we trust that our
democratic contemporaries in the dis
riot will defer declaring their deter
nlnation to support any particular
during the canvass.
In order to maintain our party Or
,anization it is desirable to await the
'ction of the persons properly author
zcd by the party to determine the
natter.

SENATOR GREEN, or MIssoURI.-We notice
that this distinguished gentleman, who was
a leading champion in the Senate Of the
Preside nt's policy in relation to Kansas. has
declared. in a public speech in St Louis,
his hope that Senator Douglas would be
reelected to the Senate from Illinois. The
st. Louis RepuLtican Of the 2Sth, in giving
sketch of his remarks, quotes him as fol-
lows:
"In the conrse of Mr. Green's remarks, he
said that the Lecompton question was no
longer oil issue. lie and Mr. Douglas had
differed on that question, but now he extern
ded the righthand of fellowship. and he be-
held S. A. Douglas fighting Black Repub-
lcanism gallantly in Illinois. Abraham
Lincoln was the champion of the Abolition
lists, and Douglas was bearing the banner of
Democracy. and with him he sympathized.

That small sized sheet the Muscatinc
journal again dcvotes an unwonted
portion Of its columns to the publica-
ton of original editorial matter. The
object of the entire paper is-as nearly
as we a:e able to ascertain-to "pul-
ver'ze" and fuse up" the State Demo-
crdt generally. Its leading article is
entitled "rhc Davenport Democrat En-
ragged" and is divided into four parts
numbered, and divided off in the most
happy manner, in each of which il
proceeds most deliberately to "chaw"
US up and spit out the pieces. The ar
''cle concludedin strain which betrays
pleasant satisfaction at the ;de. of
having completely annihilated and
wiped US out from the face Of tho
earth.
If we had not other matters Of
greater Importance to occupy our col.
umns, we would publish the article en-
tire as a specimen of republican logic.
We are sorry that you have lost your
temper neighbor and made yourself
