"DAMNINe WITH FAINT PRAIsE.r-The
Iowa Burlington Hagkeye speaks in mild
terms of implied disapproval of a political
opponent:
"That Rev. blackguard, Clay Dean, pur.
chased a cowhide, Saturday evening, and
tried to make his Democratic friends be-
lieve he was hunting for VS.. He need not
wear out shoe-leatlier in hunting for the
editor or this paper. He can always be
found at the office during usual business
hours, and for the most part until late at
night. Deans grievance, VIC suppose, was
the notice Of DR.. Eads' retirement from the
Fort Madison Plaindesler, in which we
said that Eads was the most abandoned,
God-forsaken villain in the State of Iowa,
not excepting DR.. Farmer and Clay Dean.
SO far as we made an exception in favor of
Dean, we take it back. Filthy and dis
gushing in his person, vain depraved, and
vicious in mind-at once a bully and a cow
ard, having none of these virtues or graces
which adorn a gentleman, glorying in infa-
my and rejoicing in his own shame, the
school for scandal and vice cannot produce
his equal; our Jail and penitentiaries will be
searched in vain to find his peer. We are
at the office from Z o'clock IN The psornino
III 10 O'clock at aiqht."

Another Fatal RailrOad Acct
E q dent. Et.f

A freight train and some fourteen cars
on the Central Indiana Railroad, was pre-
eipiiated through the bridge over the
Whitewater at Cambridge City, Indiana,
the morning of the 18th. John Green,
Larkin Newly, and ]. Smith were killed,
and j. S. Elliott dangerously wounded.
The locomotive and ten or twelve cars
loaded with live hogs and -four went down
and were piled up in ruins. The bridge
was being repaired, and the workmen had
taken up two rails on each side in order 10
put in new ties, but did not take the pre-
caution to flag the station about half a mile
from the bridge. The train was an extra
through freight train, and did not stop at
the depot. The work hands seeing the
train approach ran to meet it with a signal,
but it was under such speed that it was i'm
possible to stop. The engineer and fire.
man saved their lives by jumping from the
train before it reached the bridge. The
loss of property is very heavy.

A dispatch was received this evening

Great excitement exists in this city in

are assembling at The armories.
WASHINGTON. Nov. II.
A rumor was circulated here to-day that
Browns rescue was attempted, but il fell
stillborn.
The Richmond DispatcA states that Ed
ward Motif, who was arrested at Lynch
burg, as a suspected participant in Browns
foray, has been released for want of evil
dence.
The identifying parties have proceeded
to WytheviAe for the purpose of examin-
ing another suspected fugitive.
Several suspected persons, mostly north
ern peddlers, have recently been arrested
at C%ulpepper Court House, and it appears
to be the intention of the authorities to
arrest all who cannot give a good account
of themselves.

GERRIr SMITHS INsANIrY.-It said that
for some days before the absolute necessi.
ty of restrictive measures in Mr.. Smiths
case, became apparent to his friends, he
manifested a most nervous anxiety to an
ticipate the requisition which he expected
would be made upon him, and proceed to
Virginia at once to surrender himself into
the hands of the authorities. When it
was resolved to place him under restraint,
this anxiety was taken advantage of. His
friends chimed in with this notion, and
when be set out for Utica he was under the
impression that he was on his way to Rick
mond.

DEMOCRACY IN KNOX CoUNTY.-The
Democracy of Knox county held a Conven-

Douglas wing were both represented and
at the start each tried TO get the advantage
of the other. Confusion soon reigned SUI
preme. The lie was freely exchanged and
The Terms "traitor" and "puppy," given
and taken. The Chairman could not make
himself heard and left the house in dis
gust After a good deal of yelling and
swearing the meeting finally broke up.

our exchaugas are fullo the particulars Of

is getting to be a very common affair, but

On the contrary We rather wonder that such

FEARFUL SURGICAL OPERATioN.-At
the regular clinic at Startling Medical Col
lege, Saturday, an operation was performed
by'Dr. j. w. Hamilton which adds much
to that eminent practitioners reputation.
A youth II years of age, named John
Mitchell, from Falls township, Muskingum
county, Ohio, appeared in this city several
months ago and applied to DR.. Hamilton
that he might operate on,a monstrous tu-
NOR on the right side Of the boys face
After several interviews, arrangements were
made for removing the tumor as soon as
the cold weather set in, and, accordingly,
Saturday morning the operation was per-
formed at the Medical College although
with not much hope of the boy surviving.
Chloroform was administered and the boy
remained under its effects during the whole
operation, which, with dressing, &c, lasted
an hour. The right side of the upper jaw
was entirely removed, and the greater
part of the right cheek bone, as well as
the soft palate. The hemorrhage was
frightful, blood literally pouring from the
wounds made by the surgeons knife. A
room was previously prepared for the re.
ception Of the unfortunate youth, should
he not die under the operation, in the Col
lege building, and thither he was conveyed,
and Yesterday we were informed by. DR..
Hamilton that he would probably recover,
there not having appeared a single unfa-
rorable symptom Columbus Jonrnal.

WASHINGTON. Nov. Is.

L learn that the Republicans are inclined
to adhere TO their own candidates who may
be nominated in their caucuses, for the
speakership, clerkship,&c. !They-or many
of them-say that they have nothing to
gain by any compromises with the d~isafec-
ted Democrats or the Southern OPPOSE
ton members. They prefer to nominate
straight-out Republicans, and leave it to
the Administration. Democrats to say
when the House shall be organized under
the plurality rule. This policy would
indicate that the Republican candidate for
the Speakership would certainly be elected
under the plurality rule.
1t is thought that, as Mr.. Sherman of
Ohio, will be the Republican candidate for
Speaker, a Southern man will be taken up
for clerk. Mr.. Underwood of KY, ex-
member has been named. But frequently
the Speaker and clerk have been taken
from the same section, and sometimes
from the same state. Among the Rebuff
licans candidates for the clerkship who
have been prominently named is Col.
Schouler of the Boston Aaas. Mr.. McKib-
ben, late member from California, is spoken
of as a candidate on the part of the anti
Lecompton Democrats. Mr.. Hogman, ex-
member from Maryland, is the only candi-
date so far named on the side of the South
ern Oppositioa.

E Great excitement exists at Harpers
Ferry and vicinity. Fears are entertained
chat an attempt will be made to rescue
Brown and his companions. Thousands Of
troops from Richmond and other parts Of
the State have been sent to Charlestown to
prevent a rescue, but unless they are better
pluck than those sent to Harper's Ferry to
quell the instruction, a dozen old women
would put themall to flight. We hope
aud believe that they have no grounds to
fear an attempted rescue, but if it should
be attempted we cannot wish it success.
Let the law take its course. Brown and
misconceptions have been guilty. of crimes
punishable by death, and they have had
as fair a trial as could have been expected
under the circumstances. Found guilty and
sentenced, unless they can be saved
by lawful means, then let. the sentence of
the law be executed upon them.
