Dunbar done BroVyIi.

In the Saltwater Messenger of the 9th, we
find the subjoined very rich correspondence
between the State Auditor DUNBAR, and the
Treasurer Of Washington county, who is
Republican of the most intelligent kind. Mr..
DUNBAR is no match for CHARLEY SCHEFFER
III either intellectual or gentlemanly qualifica-
tons; and be had best consider we'll another
time before be ob;rudes his inexcusable inso
lence upon him to be met by such severe re-
tort and punishment
INsoLEST AND SPICY We have never seen
greater degree of official insolence than is
shown in letter just addressed by the Audi
tor Of State to our County Treasurer. We
wonder if Mr.. Dunbar is equally impairment
with other Country Treasurers If so, he
will find his political Jordan a hard road to
travel. A modest man would have waited
and ascertained whether the taxes were col
, lected and if collected, and the Treasurer
| had failed to pay over to the State, then would
I, have been the proper time for his " summary
measures" In Mr.. Scheffer' reply, we think
he has taken off the Auditor iinpertinence IT
good shape:

BREWER ScALDED TO DEATH IN VAT -
On Friday afternoon last, German whose
name we were unable to learn, employed in
Rauch's Brewery in the upper part of the
city, was standing on a board laid across the
"mash,' engaged in stirring its contents,
which were at boiling heat. By some unfor-
tunate casualty, one end of the board slipped
down, and precipitated the unfortunate man
into the boiling "mash." He managed to
crawl out without help, no one being present,
but was so horribly scalded, that death put q
period to his intense suffering on Saturday
morning.
The contents of the vat, about fifty barrels,
were drawn of at once. The funeral of the
deceased took place yesterday afternoon. The
