FROM COLUMBUS.

Correspondsnce Of the JeGerSonian Democrat
COLUMBUS, February 18th, 1859.
DEAR SIR The Speaker Of tho House,
just now suspended business to announce
tho reception of an important message from
tho Senate. which was theroupon read by
tho C'vrk, "n"o""oing tho P"ee"so of fIouse
Bill, No. 8, ITO repeal tho Ten Per Cent
Interest Law Very evident manifestations
of applause followed this announcement
from the different parts of the Hall, which
wore promptly checked by tho Speaker.
Tho vote on tho final passage Of this bill
was 20 to II, one Senator Taylor of Mahon-
ing absent, who is understood to be in favor
of the bill. Had he been present, the vote
would have boon, as in tho House, a two
thirds voto.
The House has been to-day engaged in a
lengthy and interesting discussion upon the
proposition to repeal tho Library portion OF
tho School Law without taking vote. Think
it will not pass.
Yours truly,
u UITcUCOCE

MASSACRE OF A MISSIONARY FAMILY
The acts OF the following horrible massa-
Gre Of a missionary family by the Indians
in Oregon, have been laid before the Sen.
ate In communication from the War
Department:-The Rev. Mr.. klllman a
Methodist Missionary who had been
preaching to the Indians Of Oregon since
1888, was murdered with his family not
long since, under singular and appalling
circumstances. The small pox having
broken out among the savages, while the
missionary's family were not attacked, the
former thought that the pesilence had
been introduced by the whites with the
intention of ex'ermnaing the red race.
Acting upon this horrible suspicion, their
next step was revenge. A bold chief
was selected for the deed, who stole into
the chamber of the sleeping family, and
buried1his tomahawk in the brain of the
missionary and that of his wife, and then
other Indians rushed in, and helpless
children. male and female employees
were bulchered, and the house rhzed to
the ground, fences destroyed, and every
vcstige OF once happy home disappear

The Akron Powder Mill Explosion.

Tho Dry House connected with the Aus
tin Company's Powder Mills. at the Old
Forge, one milo northeast of Akron, was
blown up about halfpast nine tho morning
of tho 18th. with terrific violence. The
building in which tho explosion occurred
was situated but short distance from the
travelled road, at the foot of q steep bill. A
correspondent of the Dedier writes
The building was literally blown to atoms,
not even the foundation lett Another
building few feet distant was blown off
even with the first floor. ard still another, q
few rods further off had the roof and one
side blown out.
Several other buildings connected with
tho works were unroofed and otherwise ma
terially damaged A barn upon the hill
somo ten or fifteen rods distant, were also
torn down, as was also the school.houso on
tho opposite side of tho street; and the
house TO which the barn belonged .somo rods
further distant was rendered almost worth
less. In fact ovory building within 100 rods
was more or less injured.
Fortunately, however. the alarm was given
before the explosion took placeaud no per.
son was injured. The school.hous was
vacant. the school having closed last Friday
