The Steamer Lady Elgln sunk.
Three Hundred Lives Lost.

We find the following statement of
the clerk ofthis Boat. in the Chicago
Tribune which will be read with inter
est:
The Lady Elgin left the port Of Chi
cago at ha.fpast eleven o'clock for Lake
Superior: Among the passengers were
the Union Guard. of Milwaukee, com
posing part of some two hundred and
fifty excursiohistss from that city. AT
about half-past two o'clock this morn
ing the schooner Augusta, of Oswego
came in c''llisioni with the Lady EIgia,
when about ten miles from shore. The
vessel struck the steamer at the mid
ships gangway on the larboard side
The Two vessels separated Instantly.
and the Augusta drilted by in the dark
ness. At the moment of the collision
there was music and dancing going on
IN the torwird cabin. In an instant af-
ter the crush all was still, and in half
an hour the steamer sank passed
through the cablns. The ladies were
pale, but silent. There was not a cry
or shrlek-no sound but the rusk of
the ste m and the surge ofthe heavy sea
Wheather they were not fully aware of
The danger, or whether their appalling
situation made them speechless | cannot
tell. A boat was lowered at once. with
The design Of going round upon the lar
beard side to examine the leak There
were two oars belnng ng to the boat, but
Just al thit moment some person poss-
essed himself of one of them, and we
were powerless 10 manage the boat =
We succeeded once in reaching the
wheel, but we're quickly driftcd away
aud thrown uponthe beack at Ninetka
Only two boats were left on the steamer
One OF them contained thirteen persons,
all OF whom were saved The other
bore eight persons, but only four of
them reached the shore alive, the four
others being drowned at the beach Be-
lore left the steamer the engine had
ceased To work. the fires having been
extngnished The fhrce and direction
of the wind was such that the boats and
fragments of the wreck we're driven up

justice to them to allow them a new

Breckinridge Convention.

This so called National Conventions
met at st. Paul on the 18th instant, and
organized BY electing George Bradley,
Of Scott. President. We notice among
the list Of Vice Presidents, the name Of
our old friend. Col S. L. Hays of Sauk
City.
Senator Rice, for the first time in a
long period, made his appearance in ST.
Paul, for the purpose of lending his in
fuence TO the Breckinridgc movement.
He made brief speech, lin which, he
said he would pursue the Dougla Dem
ocrats to the bitter end He and the
other chief speakers. lauded Buchanan
and his party unsparingly, and denounc-
ed all all other parties as fac,ionists and
enemies of the people. Ink, -
lf ANYTHING on earth could show the
people of Minnesota the utter want of
sympathy in Senator Rice for them, we
think this laudation of Buchanan who
has wickedly brought on the land sales,
should. Immense suffering is about to
be Inflicted upon the settlers of the
Who'll, State by Buchanan, and yet here
we find our Senator Rice coming to St
Paul, to praise him., and hold him up
in our faces as a noble man and sound
Democrat. Let the people remember
it. Rice. Becker and tridley are
doomed.

Lake Superior Railroad-

The contemplated Railroad as survey
ed from St. Paul to the Lake i 300
miles.
Now it is but 100 miles from sauk
Rapids or St. Cloud. to the lake. The
road, then, from St. Paul by St. Cloud,
would be but 200 miles-only 90 miles
further than from St. Paul to the Lake
the way the St. Paul folks have survey
ed it Besides, that route is through a
wilderness without settlement or value,
whereas, by St. Cloud it would be
thronghl a settled country. The reve-
nue. coming to the road from st Cloud,
Sauk Rapids and the Sauk River Val
ley would be not less than $500 900 per
annum. VIII Mr. VIM. L. Banning
and the other managers ofthe projected
road stop and think of this? The vast
region of Red River is sending her
trade this way, and for the present to
St. Paul. The great agricultural re-
gion hereabout is unsurpassed in fertili
ty and thrift. 1t is growing every day
more important. .a .yt
Gentlemen, if you will run your Road
to the Lake via. ST. Cloud or Sauk
RaPids-lt matters not which; they are
within mile of each other-you avail
yourselves and the Road Of all the trade
OF Red River, Sauk Valley, St. Cloud.
and Sauk Rapids-which by the time
the Road could be completed, will
amount annua ly to hundreds of ihous
ards of Dnllars 1t would be, besides,
an act OF justice to this regi n-and we
feel like demanding it. -.-..a Iii
