S- 1t is evidently the intention of the
sham democracy of Tennessee to divert at
tention, as much as possible, from the real
issues of the canvass by attempting to prac-
tice fraud upon the people. They know
they cannot stand before the storm of indig-
nation which will be aroused by a thorough
investigation of their misdeeds and corrup-
tons, as party, and hence they have already
begun to hide their wickedness behind the
specious veil of love for the South and South
ern institutions, and to charge that the OPP
position are in utilization with, or are seeking
to affiliate with, black-republicans and abo-
ltiOnists. They know that this charge is I'M
true, and that if it were true, the Opposition
would be no less worthy of Southern conf
dence and support than the sham democracy.
But they mistake the temper and determine
ton of the Opposition, when they expect by
this means to escape the responsibility of
their party sins. The real issues will be dis
cussed in spite of the "nigger in the wood
pile,'' and they will be held to rigid &C
countability. The eyes of the people are open
to their frauds, which can no longer
afford them barricade from behind which
they may assail successfully their political
opponents.

Steam Explosions = Reeder's Safety
Guard.

The third, within less than a year, of those
terrific explosions which teach us the total
inadequacy of all existing plans of regula,
ting and controlling steam, is palpably before
u.s. The Pennsylvania, the Princess, and now
the 81. Nicholas, have exploded while under
way, scattering death and destruction on all
sides, with devastating force to which gun
powder furnishes no parallel. The springing
of a mine, in military operations, is not so
destructive to the serried columns which are
hoisted into the air by il, as is the tremend-
Gus power which manifests itself beneath the
unsupported passengers voyaging upon a
steamboat that explodes. 1t is quick, reSistless
and shifting as the lightning.
All the recorded or known facts attending
these appalling catastrophes, would indicate
that the fierce power which produces them is
not steam, in its normal condition. so to speak.
1t is another agency which has been superin-
duced upon steam, after il has been subjected
to great heat in its condition of steam. 1t
by no means follows that the engineer is to
blame for not knowing. or guarding against,
this transition. 1t may take place very
rapidly, and be induced by monetary stop
page of the supply Of water to the boilers,
or TO one of them. Hence il is that the
safety of humanity demands something more
than the present arrangem ent - something
that will be selt-operative, apart from and in
dependent of the engineer.
.'Reeder's Safety Guard" undertakes to
supply this desideratum. and hence we seize
this opportunity TO rivet the public attention
to its pretensions.-AuaPhis BulietiH.

Utah News.

ST. LOUIS, April ga series of letters
published in the Salt Lake Valley Tan Civ.
ing the proceedings of Judge Cradlebaugh's
court at Provo, explains, to some extent. the
difficulties and disturb Dances in Utah. The
misunderstanding between Governor Cum
ming and General Johnston seems to have
grown out of the refusal of the latter to with
draw the troops from Provo, sent there under
a requisition of the court to protect wit
nesses. Judge Cradlebaugh passed severe
structures on Governor Cummings proclama-
ton. which has not been received here, char
acterizing il as informal and evidently design

subordination in the army.
He also says that instead Of the presence
Of the troops tending to terrify and intimidate
the Inhabitants. witnesses, jurors and parties
on behalf of the prosecution have been COM
PEELED to seek protection of the troops against
the threats and intimidatiOns of the inhabi-
tants said to be so terrified. Judge Cradle

magistrate, and would go to camp Floyd the
following week to continue Investigations

Of whom fed to escape arrest The four
grand jurors discharged by Cradlebaugh also
fled. Cedar city and several other towns in
vicinity OF the mountain meadow massacre are
almost depOpulated. Ii is also stated that
the Indians, about a thousand strong, headed
by white men, have mustered in that neigh
bOrhoOd, who express the determination To
prevent the arrest of any one in that section.
Judge Cradlebaugh emphatically denies that
the grand jury protested against their dis
charge, as stated by the Deseret News.

Still another fact is, that the democratic
party was the beneficiary in all this IMPROVE
dent legislation. What proposition so wild
and SO fully and transparency at war with
the common sense. nature and motives of hu-
manity, as that the Opposition would vote
the most necessary and the most successful
ly used supplies, to beat themselves down
and perpetuate the ascendency and power of
their adversaries If there is living white
man in the State of Tennessee, of the age of
twenty-one, who can be made TO believe that
such would likely be the course of the Oppo-
sition, who are themselves charged with be-
ing intent only on securing public plumber,
let him by all means vote the Democratic
ticket.
In every aspect in which the plea of the
democratic organs can be viewed, its total
want of substance is apparent 1t is alto
gether fiimsy and sophistical, and scarcely
deserves serious REPUTATION to an intelligent
and minded people.

Suicides IN OHIo.-The statistics OF Ohio
for 1858, show that the number of suicides in
that State was sixty in all. or one in every
forty thousand of the population. The mode
of suicide is mainly confined TO hanging
drowning, cutting throat, shooting and poi
son. or the suicides in Ohio, the mode Sc
lected by seventeen was that of hanging sew
en- by drowning, six by cutting the throat
and ten by poisoning; the remaining modes
were generally some violence. occasioned by
delirium tremens or intoxication. The sui
cides in cities appear, a general fact, to BE-
much more numerous than in the country, as
for example-ln New York. l in 10000; in
Cincinnati, l in $4,000: in London. in 1000;
ia Paris, in 2,l00, The number of suicides

Leigh Hunt ar Home.

london Correspondence Of the New York Tmes.l
Leigh Hunt is now nearly eighty years of
age, and yet his complexion has the fairness
and soitness of youth. His hair is as white
as the bloom of the almond tree, and as full
and glossy as the head of a child. His brow
is broad and beautiful, and bis eyes as gentle
and as clear as that of woman who has new
er seen cloudy day. His heart is as merry
as birds and his look and manner alternate
ly playful and pensive, but without shadow
of sadness. The dear old man, with all his
precious poetic memories-with his venera-
bic juyenility-this genial octogenarian, this
unfadlng rose in the Snow-hOw like he

every school boy in America:

Desperate Attempt at Murder and
Robbery!


Robbery!
We learn from gentlemen from Maury
county that a most daring and desperate at
tempt was made during the night of Saturday
to murder Mr.. and Mrs. Mays, at Williams
port. 1t appears the desperate first went to
Mr.. MAYS stable and with a knife, as is
supposed. butchered his fine Jack, (NapOleon)
one of the finest animals in the country
cutting his throat and otherwise mutilating
him. The villain then managed to get into
the sleeping apartment of Mr.. and Mrs. Mays
without awaking them, and graphing the
former by the throat, endeavored to choke
him to death, and had well might sue
ceeded when Mrs. Mays awoke and gave the
alarm. A strange gentleman sleeping in
another part of tbehouse. hearing her screams.
ran to her assistance, and in passing to the
room occupied by Mr.. and Mrs. Mays, noticed
two men in the porch. A young lady, a
member of the family, was the first to reach
the scene, but we did not learn that she saw
any one. The mark of the villains bloody
fingers was noticed upon the clothing OF
both Mr.. and Mrs. Mays and the bed clothing,
showing that he had Sheen feeling about to
ascertain the position they occupied. 1t is
supposed he intended to dispatch Mr.. Mays
first and then Mrs. Mays.
We understand that negro man, the
property of Mr.. Mays, who ran away some
time since. is suspected as the perpetrator of
the deed. but there is no suspicion as to who
is his accomplice. The bloody finger prints
on the clothing show that the one who killed
the Jack. is the same that attempted to
murder Mr.. Mays.
The attempt on the life of Mr.. Mays was so
violent as to deprive him Of reason for day
or two, but under prompt and skillful medical
attention. he has been restored. We under
stand that he has no recollection in regard to
the affair.
The villain or his accomplice stole the
gold watches belonging to Mr.. and Mrs. Mays,
these being the only articles that have been
missed.-U Union and american.

For the Patriot.
BIZ RANDALL

The following lines have been set to music by eel
ebrated composer in the East, and in the
OF publication by LEE and wAIKEE, of Philadelphia:
The tender buds that gently peeped,
From out their tiny leaves;
The tender buds, that softly sent
Their fragrance DER the breeze;
Have bowed their blushing heads in love,
And drank the Spring times showers,
Whose crystal drops, OF heavenly birth,
Have blown them into flowers
The tender buds, that sighed within
home OF verdant Love;
The tender buds, that longed to dwell
Mid scenes of hope above,
Have burst their prison gates ofyouth,
And decked their childish hours
With wreaths of beauty, joy and mirth,
Sweet wreaths OF blooming flowers.
Those tender buds, how soft, how free,
How innocent and mild,
How bright their hopes, how pure their joys,
How like prattling child,
As DER the path of life they move,
Meath balmy Summers showers,
Crowned with wreaths of buds thai now
Have bloomed to blushing flowers.

Es- Gov. WISE, in his recent letter to Hon.
DAVID HUBBARD, airs his scriptural proficiency
a little and says, ''the Reubens have tried to
sell me into Egypt for my dreaming" The
New York Express, better posted in biblical

all wrong, for it so happens that Reuben was
the only one of Joseph's brethren who did
not want to sell him.
