MELANCHOLY TRAGEDY IN THE PINE
WooDs.--The correspondent of the Camden
(Ala) Republican relates that Mr.. Davis, re-
siding with his wife and four children in the
sparsely settled piny woods neghborhood Of
the county Of Wilcox, while confined to his
bed by a disease which threatened his life,
had left his farm in charge OF two of his Oldest
sonss Two or three weeks since, they went
out in search of argeilica or earl root, of which
they ate freely, and took with them some for
the.chdren at home. The roots proved to be
deadly hemiock. In a few hours the two first
named were taken with commissions and died.
The remaining two, who had not eaten much
Of the poison, were also seized with convul-
slons, and became blind and deaf To add to
the horror OF the scene, the mother was taken
~ labor, and gave birth to fifth child. In
this situation the family remained until the fol-
lowing wednesday, no one Of the family be-
ing able to leave the house, and no neiybboy

Total,

This makes an increase i'll the number of
polls in one year, to May l, of nearly four
hundred But it is estimated that since the
first of May the increase has been such, that,
were the census to be taken at this time, 1t
would show at least six hundred polls.
1t will be noticed, above, that much the
largest increase within the year was in Ward
7, in the southerly section of the city, which
has added one hundred to its poll list. Ward
l, comprising the central section of the city,
comes next, with an increase of rs. Ward 4
follows, with about the same increase. Ward
2, in the easterly section of the city, has in
creased 40. Ward has increased %, and
Wards 5 and g. 8 each; while Ward s. taking
in the most northerly portion of the city, has
remained nearly stationary in its number OF

Dodge, who resides in the southerly part of
Holden, was at work upon the highways in
that town, on Saturday afternoon last holding
a scraper to which a yoke of oxen were at
tached, he stepped forward between the oxen,
to attend to some matter, when the oxen took
fright and ran, dragging him along under the
scraper, which cut him badly in the head, be-
sides otherwise severely bruising him. 1t was
thought at the time that Mr.. Dodge's injuries
we're of fatal character, but with medical aid
it is now hoped he may recover.

condemns his own policy in regard to Names
The difference between us is this He would
force upon others a name that is offensive to
them because it implies endorsement OF prin-
ciples which they cannot endorse; while We
insist that nobody who joins the Republican
party should be required to submit to the en-
forcement upon them of any such name. The
term Republican" oifends nobody. As ap-
piled to our party it signifies purposes and
measures in opposition to the slavery policy of
those in power at Washington; therefore it
cuts off nobody whose principles accord with
this Specification. But the word american"
has political significance which cuts off all
but the Know Nothings themselves.
Is it impossible for the Providence Journal
to see that it has no more right to amend the
name of the Republican party by interpolating
into it that word "American" than we have
to amend it by putting in the term "Anti-
Know-Nothing Those who never were and
never mean to be Know-Nothings, have, to
say the least, just as much right to force all
who join the party to call themselves "Anti-
American Republicans" as few Know-Noth
ings in few localities have to insist so often
sively that the party must be called "Ameri-
Republican" The former have undertake
en- no such change in the party name; the latter
have been much less scrupulous. That fill
clustering ghost of Know Nothingism which
wanders so uneasily up and down the land,
haunting every party organization, has much
more resemblance to a foul demon than to any
innocent spirit. 1t is never scrupulous; and
it has instigated many things which no honor
able man should tolerate. In this category we
place its instigations in regard to our party
name, which mean nothing but intolerance and
mischief Those late "Americans" who can
not come into the Republican party without
insisting that we shall all put on the symbols
and endorse the principles of their defunct or
ganization, are not precisely the men to work
well in it and give it the vigor and sunshine of
hope

THE NEWS FROM EuRopE.-The steamer
Persia, which left Liverpool on the 18th inst,
reached New York last evening. By this ar
rival, the previous report of great victory
won bv the French and Sardinians is confirm
ed The victors had entered Milan in trl-
umph, and the Austrians were retreating at
every point, having evacuated Pavia and cross
ed the AIDA. At one point they had been
beaten by the French under paraguay dill
liers. who had taken twelve hundred pris-
oners; and this discredits previous report
of the removal and disgrace of this French
General. Another important report is contra
dicted. 1t appears now that Marshal Canro-
bert was not wounded at the battle of Magenta.

REBELLION IN CANADA WEsT-The Dur
ham Standard gives an account of an affray
between the Sheriff and some magistrates Of
Huron County, and some debtors who resisted
the seizure of span of horses. The debtors
fortified themselves in tavern and threatened
destruction to any one who dared TO enter
The building was then set on fire by order of
the Sheriff, and invested on all sides to prevent
escape. When the place became too hot, those
inside rushed forth in body, and those guard
ing them broke on all sides. Nearly one hun
bred shots were fired after them, but only one
of the men was wounded, not, however, suffi-
Gent to prevent him making his escape The
tavern was burned to ashes. The father and
mother of one ofthe parties, and the wife of an
other, were arrested as accessories AT the
last accounts nearly one hundred persons were
under arms TO arrest five men

AMERICAN REPUBLICANS IN MAssAcHu-

terpolation Of american" in the resolutions
Of the Massachusetts convention was noticed
and exposed at the time. IL did not attract our
attention. Indeed, the name was of so little
importance, whether American or Republican,
or both, that we suppose nobody thought OF il.
IL by giving this fictitious importance to a
name, and then cutting off all whom the name
excludes, the Republican party is pnrged of all
these who made up the old Know Nothing par

The LAST OF KING BoMBA.-The Florence

during the last illness Of the King Of Naples,
his body was covered with yermin If this be
true, he died OF the morbus pediculuius, or
phthirasis, the result of horribly impure
state OF the blood. This loathsome complaint,
which is happily very rare, is generally the
punishment Of excessive and protracted de-
bauchery History records few instances of
its ravages. In the book Of Acts we are told
that Herod was eaten up by worms The Ro-
man Sylla, after a life of infamous prohigacy,
was covered in his last hours by the most dis
gnsting yermin. That gloomy tyrant, Philip
IL. OF Spain, in his seventy first year, was tor
mented by sores on his breast and knees-the
consequences of the vices OF his youth-from
which issued countless myriads Of lice, which
it was impossible for his attendants to destroy
