Another instance of bravery has been related,
which took place at Ninetka, on Saturday last.
Among the RATS and pieces of wreck tossing in the
surf raft was anxiously watched. to which were
clinging five persons, among them John Jervis, of
Milwaukee, his wife and child. As the raft was
drawn INTO the surf, it capsIzed and all disap-
peared for moment beneath the angry waters.
When it arose, Jervis alone was cinging to il. He
instantly left it. however and swan for his wife and
child and recovered them. Twice and thrice he re-
peated this heroic act. Finally, when the shore was
almost reached the raft was for the last time cap
sized, and when it reached the surface Jervs alone
was clinging to it. Again he left it. and swan for
long time IN search of those whom he had so long
and so nobly protected. but all in vain and he was
obliged At last to swim to the raft to save his own
life Such an act Of selfsacrifcing needs praise
of ours.

Will not Stand Douglas.

Mr.. lanes j. Diamond, one Of the delegates
10 the Charleston Convention from this State,
has addressed spirited letter to the editor of
tic Atlanta lntelligcncer, the first paragraph
of which we copy below Mr.. Diamond need
have no fears Of misreprcsenting the feelings
and views Of his constituents in the course
which hc has marked out for himself:

Tcmtinn. that YOU and myself differ on that SUBJ
lect. for cannot conceive of the happening OF
any contingency that will force me to support
him, or any man Of like sentiment; and think
It's almost the universal conclusion here, among
the Southern Democracy, that if Douglas or
his opinions arc forced upon them at Charles
Ton. they will withdraw, and nominate South
ern man. They will not be regarded as being
disloyal 10 their party. Douglas docs not teach
the principles Of the Democratic party. His
friends cannot complain at any one for not sup
porting nominations; they would not vote for
the nominee Of the Democratic party for Speak
.er Of the House of Representatives. They
nominated for themselves. The Southern peo.
pie cannot so soon forget themselves as to rally

has branded them with 'fraud," and heaped
