NINETEENTH YEAR

Still HARrIxG.-The Indianola Visitor, fol-
loving in the track Of the Oskaloosa Herald, ID
out against the Hawk.Eye with railing accu-
sation. We are accused in no measured terms,
OF trying to dictate to the Republicans Of this
Congressional District, and more especially those
residing in the interior. It strikes US that the
Visitor must derive pleasure in reiterating this
charge or thereby subserves some end Of its
own not strictly in accordance with justice and
fair dealing, or it would not do it, with the ev-
idence of its untruth in it's own hands. That
the editor Of the Visitor has any grounds Of
hostility towards Us is matter OF surprise. But
il must be true or he would pursue different
course: If he meant honesty he certainly
would not receive Daily exchange from rs and
then keep his own journal out of sight, as he
does. not having sent but one number to us in
the last FIVE months.
In the matter of the Congressional Conyen-
tion we propose to make, once for all, an ex-
planation for such as persist in placing us in .
false position. We suggested the nomination OF
Col. Curtis. by unanimous consent of the Presss
for two reasons:
lst. We were not aware that Congressional
Committee existed in the 6rst District.
I'd. We did not suppose there would be any
opposition to the denomination of Col. Curtis
from any quarter.
For the reasons above stated. without con-
with any one, we made upon our own
the simple suggestion which We
did. The moment We saw the cali Of the
District Committee for n Convention to be held
At Oskaloosa on the 7th of July, we published it
in our columns without word of opposition.
The instant abandonment OF what was but
harmless suggestion at first, ought to have sat
SIZED any reasonable man that no dictation
was contemplated or intended. Common cour.
lesy and common decency ought to have taught
both the Visitor and Herald better msnners
and sounder policy than that Of abuse ard per
sonal inyective which the latter, particn arly,
chose to indulge in.
The Hawk Eye is ready to support any one
nominated at Oskaloosa, whether it be Col.
Curtis, Judge Stone or Mr.. Needham, and does
not desire to interfere in the matter or dictate
to any man who may sit as delegate in that
Convention. All it desires or expects to do is
70 express itspreierence for Col Curtis. Are We
understood ?

From the Rockford Register Of Saturday.
We have intelligence Of . most melancholy
character from Roscoe, in this county. The
village vas inundated BY sudden rush Of va
ter, houses, tum5led into ruins, and nine lives
lost. We are indebted to Mr. H. 8. Brown, OF
that place, for full particulars of this cad calam-
ity. Mr.. Brown came down on horseback.
reaching here about noon yesterday. lie re.
ports every bridge gone between here and Ros-
cOe, and he had TO ford the streams The peo-
Pile along the route report all the small streams
higher than was ever before known. large
| amount Of fencing has been carried Oh, and
grain washed out.
OF the affair at Roscoe Mr. B. SAYS the water
was damned up At the railroad culvert about =
fourth Of mile east Of the village. across a
small creek that puts into the river right in the
village. The embankment here is very high,
| probably forty feet, aud the culvert being en-
trely too small to discharge the water it soon
| accumulated so as to form = small lake. The
pressure finally became 30 great that about a
hundred aud fifty feet Of the bank gave way,
and the water rushed down with resistess force,
sweeping everything before it. Five buildings
in its course we're demolished almost in the
twinkng Of an eye, and in one we're congre-
gated family Of ten persons-nine of whom
we're hurried TO watery grave. This family
was that Of Rev. Horatio Isley, "a Presbyterian
Clergyman and consisted Of himself, wife and
eight children. The mother and children were
all lost, aud Mr.. Ilsley was rescued from the
top of . tree, near half mile from where the
house had stood. The bodies of tour of the
children had been foaad when our informant
left, o'clock yesterday mcrnng. Mr.. lisley j.
a brother-in-law of f. l. Tihsham, Esq, Of
Chicago. The children ranged in age irom in
fancy to Is or 30 years. The oldest was a
young man who had returned from Milwaukee
on Saturday last on q visit. He had been EN-.
ployed in that city clerk in Marshal l. lis
ley's Bank. The house was q good two story
brick structure. Mr.. Iisley states that the "a.
mily we're all awake, and had, taken refuge in
the upper story.
Besides this grout house occupied by Mr..
Adams, was torn into ruins. The family had
left in the early part of the evening" as the house
was located near the Greek and was considered
unsafe
Frame house near the creek, occupied by p.
NJ. WEIGH, also torn to pieces. The family had
been taken out in a wagon just previous to the
rush.
A new wooden building, formerly occupied
as grocery, but then unoccuped, totally de.
molished. Also a barn the bank of the
Creek. The buildings were probably worth
some 81 900, exclusive Of furniture.
Two bridges over the Creek, in the village.
were also swept away. The excitement of the
people, when our informant left, was most in.
tense.

The NEw PARTY A BAsrARD.-Ths reports
from Washington OF bran new and mag.ta-
cent great national party, composed OF all the
oppo osition to the administration, excited for q
few DAYS considerable curiosity, not to say in
tersst, among politicians and people. The idea
is SO generally recognized rs proper and ne
cessary one but the difficulties are at present
SO palpable and serious, that we were on the
oui riye to know if the thing was really SO, and
how it was to be done. Never cold bath there
fore gave greater shock to cOnhding mortal,
than the appearance OF the proposed platform
did to the fond expectations that the anteee
dent kilograms had excited. "The Peoples
Party of the Union" is sad case of premature
birth. and still born at that. More than this, it
seems to be fatherless and motherless-n no one
knows where it came from, and certainly no one
will see where it goeth. The platform is a
string of plati.udes and achieves remarkable
success in avoiding any aliusion to the political
questions now before the country. 1t Is the
Fillmore American platform Of 1856, wofuliy
diluted, and SO weak that it will not stand up
| long enough to be knocked down. We accept
it as evidence that the last days Of the platform
business are come, and that the ''sands OF life
are fast running out of the trick Of tickling
| people with fine words that are broken as soon
as Springfield Republican.

have to record an awful tragedy that occur
red in Brown County, in this State, last week.
Two entire families, consisting of ten persons,
were all murdered in cold blood, for money,
with the exception of three children, the oldest
little girl only eight years old, and one an in
fant, who was found sucking its mothers breast
twenty -four hours after she had been murder
ed. They were murdered by four men from
Lampassas County who professed to be out OH
surveying expedition. They knew that these
families had money, and they went disguised as
Indians, thinking that by numbering the whole
families. none but Indians would be suspected
The little girl, however, recognized one OF them
who had frequently been at her fathers house
She made her escape into the field where her
father was ploughing, where she found him
murdered. She then went nobly to work with
her little hands. and completely covered him
up with dirt, to keep the buzzards off until she
made her way to the nearest settlement, and
gave the alarm. The neighbors all then collect
ed, and went in pursuit, and finally traced them
to their homes in Lampassas County. where
they arrested them after desperate resistance
by themselves and friends, The parties were
men of property, aud respectfully Connected
The party having them in charge passed through
Coyell County last Wednesday, on their way
with them to the place where the murders were
committed, where | have no doubt they will
lynch them. They were securely bound, and
guarded by about forty men.

memphis Races.

The initial meeting ON the Memphis Race
Course commences On next Tuesday and will
continue all the week. The course is located
on the line of one Of the railroads leading IN
to the city, and Is also accessible by dirt
road. which the Proprietor, MIR. RoUNDrREE,
has had opened to it. The improvements on
the course, in the shape of houses, stands,
fences, &c, are all Of excellent descriptions,
and constructed with good taste. The purses
offered are large, and the prospect tor the
most interesting meeting which has occurred
in Tennessee for years past is very fair. Al
ready, we learn, three stables from Kentucky,
two from LoulsianN, and five from Tennessee,
are on the ground; whilst others are daily
expected. The Attendance of fine racing AMI

= A arht occurred resterday mornin,

srS~ \ fight occurred yesterday morning
at the State Fair, between Samuel Cowan and
Sandy G.. Owen in which, as it progressed,
several others became involved. 1t was COM
menced. we learn, by Cowan, who assaulted
Owen with a stick, and subsequently. resist
ance having been made shot him with re-
volver, killing him instantly. John and Jas
W. Owen interfeted in behalf their brother,
and were also hurt, the former receiving sew
eral shots from COwan's pistol, and the latter
q severe blow on the head from stick in the
hands of Gen. Joel \. Battle, an uncle of
COwan. Battle was in turn knocked down
with stick by NJ. w. a. Davis. Cowan's
skull was fractured by blow dealt with a
stick by some one of the party, and he Is not
expected TO recover. John Ovens wounds
are quite severe The others, are, we believe,
not seriously damaged. Mr.. Thomas Bate,
bvstander was also wounded by shot from
a pistol but not dangerously. The difficulty
appears to have been premcditated on the
part of Cowan, and to have grown out Of an
old fcud. We do not attempt to go into de-
tails. as the matter must undergo judicial in
vestigation.
