worked with but little success for two days. but

THE MEETING AT JACKSON AT
WHICH BENNETT WAS NOMI.
Mated.

We copy the following from the De Witt
Ctntoaadn
Mr. EDIroR -" For the benefit of the
Naquoketa Excelsior; whose editor profes
SEES to disbelieve the fact, that Judge Ben
nett received the nomination of meeting
held in jackson county, respectable in tai
ents and numbers" Allow US to state that
a meeting of the citizens Of jackson county
convened in the Court House, Immediately
after the adjournment of the last term Of
the District Court on the Goth day of May
last and organized by appointing Hon. j.
W. Jenkins, Senator from the district. chair
man, and J. 5. Darling secretary. Hon
Dan F. Spur, after passing a brief but well
merited eulogiuin on the judicial career Of
Judge Bennett, moved that the meeting
nominate him FOR reelection at the Oocto-
Der election. This motion was eloquently
seconded by Hon. f. Bangs, Prosecuting
Attorney, and supported by Messrs' kelso,
Hadley, Curtis, Graham, Cowles, Dunbar,
Fletcher, Rich, and other well known citi-
zens of Jackson county and passed unani-
mously. The meeting directed that its pre-
ceedings be signed by its officers and, pub
lished in the'county papers, and if its pro-
ceedings have not appeared in the columns
OF the Excelsior, perhaps Senator Jenkins
could satisfactorily account to the editor for
their non-appearance.
AS to the meetings being respectable in
talents and numbers" the reader OF the
Sentinel may judge. 1t certainly is not to
be compared to that celebrated Republican
Mass Convention at Andrew, the fame of
which has become traditionary. One of its
members being Large" and the only other
one respectable"

A brief notice has already appeared in
our telegrep hic column of q desperate at
tempt at murder in Pittsburgh, on Saturday
morning.
We find in the Pittsburgh Gazette of Mon.
day the following more extended account:
A most cowardly and cold blooded act,
as far as the testimony at present shows,
was perpetrated in our city ON Saturday
morning about II o'clock. 1t appears that
a Young man about ~ years of age, named
Thomas Smi,hson, a painter by occupation,
had been DESTROYS for some time of paying
his addresses to young lady named Elenor
Henry, nged about II years, daughtar Of a
respectable widow woman, Mrs. Harriet
Henry, residing ut the foot OF Second St !,
adjoining the First Ward School House. As
the young lady had been informed that
Smiths was rather dissipated, she avoided
him entirely.
On Saturday morning he visited her mo-
theirs house, and by some means obtained
An interview with Elenor, remaining about
AN hour in the house, Miss Henry, during
most of the time was engaged in domestic
duties, and not appearing DESTROYS of his
company.
As we learn from the deposition made be-
fore the Mayor, by Mrs Henry, the defend
an. and her daughter were converting In
the eotry, when she heard the report. as
she supposed, of pistol, and Immediately
heard her daughter scream, exclaiming that
Srnithson had shot her. 1t was found that
a ball had entered her back below the left
shoulder, passing through the lung. Sever
al persons heard the report of the pistol and
cav Smithson run. The crowd immediate
" pursued, and he was caught at Dam No.
i, as he was about taking passage, appa-
rently, on a small tow boat, which was then
in the lock. bound up the river. Miss Hen
ry was young lady Of excellent reputation
and member Of the Liberty street Mesho-
dist CHI rch.
She had been sent away from home for
the purpose of avoiding the defendant, and
had but just arrived home on the morning
of the sad occurrence.

A passenger of the steamer James II. Lu-
cas-, on her late trip from Memphis to this
port, was discovered to be laboring under
singular alteration Of mind, coon after the
boat left Memphis The young mans name
was John c.. Mitchell, Of cambridge, Tenn
He had several friends and acquaintance
on board, and among them was young
gentleman named Doddridge. who was very
intimate with Mitchell. He had known
him from boyhood, and represented the az
flicted man to have been of steady habits,
aud of highly respectable family connec-
tione. He had left home in apparently per-
feet health, and was on his way to Kansas.
just before the boat reached Hickman,
Mitchell manifested violent symptoms of in
sanity, imagining that all on board were
his enemies, and were conspiring against
his life. His best friends had become his
worst enemies, and he insisted that some OF
them had poisoned him. and predicted his
death In few hours. There were two or
three physicians on board. aud efforts were
made to relieve or pacify him, but without
avail He would not retire TO his room, and
when the boat landed Hickman a guard was
placed over him.
A knife and pistol which he had in hi.
possession were taken away, and he was
persuaded to give up his effects to the clerk
of the boat They consist ed of Sl6l in
money and three land warrants, and car.
pet sack containing some clothing. While
the boat lay at Hickman Mitchell eluGed hi
watch and escaped. He was seen by som.
Of the passengers going down stairs, and i,

by mere accident, it appears, the
little girl got hold OF the rope which
opens the gas valve, and by pulling on

caught in a tree, and on Saturday
morning, they were discovered by n
farmer, who soon got them down in
safety to terra frma.
II is settled that the reported gold
discoveries in Western Kansas, are
more than mere pretensions. The gold
dipgings on Cherry River, near Pixies
Peak, are some TAO miles west of Kan
sas City, Mo-, by the Santa Fec route.
G. Carpenter Of Lawrence, Kansas, has
just returned from the diggings, and re-
ports that he left two hundred men at
work, doing well. Most Of the gold is
found about seven feet below the sur
face. Mr.. Carpenter returned to get
tools for the Lawrence party, Of whom
there are fifty-six at the mines. lie
represents that the soil in the valleys
of western Kansas is richer and more
productive than in any other. part OF
the territery. The fact that the gold
is sufficient to pay we'll is now consid
cred established in Kansas, an 1 there
will doubtless be a great rush to the
dlggins, tending to make business lively
again in the territory.
The latest accounts from Frazer
River represent provisions very scarce
and dear. Dog meat was the delicacy
of the season, and that was selling at
fifty cents a pound.
A young man, named Mackenzie
Young, at Bloomfield, ILL.,, was dread
fully wounded on Tuesday night. At
an early hour he went to a sleeping
room and aroused its occupants. They
were Mortified at the terrible sight
which met their eyes, Young's lower
jaw being broken in two places and his
upper jaw in one place. Nearly a
dozen of his teeth we're missing, and
those that remained in his mouth were
quite loose. His face and breast were
covered with blood, and the right side
of his head was badly swollen and
bruised. There was severe wound
under his chin, and another not far
from his mouth, on the right side of
his face. After daylight, several OF
his teeth were picked up on the side
walk. Some of them were split apart.
The unfortunate young man was too
much injured to be able to give any
direct account OF the manner in which
his serious injuries were received.
