The Chnnninnshin.

The Benicia Boy appears to be coming out
ahead even in English appreciation. A cor
respondent of the London Post writes:
If Sayers were equal to maintaining the
position of Champion he ought to have upheld
it as he has led the public TO expect he would.
If however, he finds that his arm is perma-
nently injured, or that from any other cause
it is desirable that he should give up the belt
he should have done so at once, and openly
stating his reasons-and he might have re-
tired with honor to himself and satisfaction to
his cOuntrymen.
As it is at this moment, Heenan is Cham
piOn of England. Sayers has retired, and
Heenan defends the belt against all comers.-
This is tantamount to an acknowledgement
Of defeat by Sayers. If he had made it a lit
tie earlier the people of England-lOrds and
ladies' tinkers and tailors-Would not have
subscribed f5, 600 for the petted hero of the
Prize Ring.

was expected that an audience of ten thou

strnnre Enects or Lightning.

Our exchanges the past week have brought
US several accounts of the fearful effects of
lightning, resulting in the death of three or
four persons. Near Chicago little girl was
killed by bolt some rods from the door of
her mothers house dark line the length of
her person indicating the passage of the cleo
tric fluid. At Lebanon, KY, the wife and
child of Mr.. Harrison were struck, and after
lying insensible some time they recovered
A portion of the house was badly shattered.
The most remarkable occurrence from light
ming was in Adams, Guernsey county, Ohio.
A man named R. Mackey was fairly struck
by heavy bolt, and not killed. His attend
ing physician thus relates the marvellous es-
cape in the Guernsey Times
Mr.. Mackey and three of his boys were
working in the clearing. When the shower
came on, he thought it would be but a moder-
ate one, put on his coat and stepped under a
tree, leaning against it with his right should
er. The lightning first struck the tree, cut
ting path of eight or ten inches in width
through the bark and guttering the solid
wood to a considerable extent in its descent
When it came within eight or ten feet ofMack-
ey's shoulder, it made direct diagonal line
through the bark of the tree, from its former
depth to ii, and passed spirally over his body
to the ground. It first passed over the back
of his right shoulder, then over his right side,
then in front This thigh, then wound down
behind his knee, and passing down to his heel
separated, portion Of the fluid passing out
at the heel, but larger portion winding
around the right side of the ankle and foot
and passing out at the right side Of the boot
ripping the upper from the sole, nearly the
whole length of the foot. There are also four
small round holes, about as large as if made
by No. shot in the upper of the boot
The mark or track made on his body is about
the breadth of the hand and so severely bis
tered in places that the cuticle was removed
with the clothing.
Mr.. Mackey was entirely unconscious for
some time, but while his son, (supposing him
dead) was in quest of help to remove him
hsme, the rain fell upon his face and restored
animation. He suffered severely for some
time, both from the shock, and muscular con-
traction produced by the action of the electric
fluid upon the nervous system. BE is now do
ing well, and in fair way to fully recover.
The theory of his escape is that the prespi-
ration upon his body afforded good conduc-
tor for the electricity, preventing in great
measure its passage into his body.

Gen. Wilson and MIR. Cox Drink Over III


Gen. Wilson has replied through the Ohio
Statesman to the communication of Mr.. Cox,
and he still leaves the Ohio member in bad
box. To the assertion of Mr.. Cox that he
was vexed at Gen. Wilson's unauthorized
intermeddling, &C., Gen. Wilson turns the
key upon his prisoner thus:
When requested by Gov. Brown to call on
Mr.. Cox on the subject of his vote on the Eng
lish bill, desired to be excused from the un-
pleasant task-fOr reasons entire satisfactory
TO myself, and some of which gave to Gov
Brown He debated the matter, and urged
upon me my duty as a Democrat and friend
of the Administration to go to Mr.. Cox, and
heal up all differences in his Congressional
District. l told Gov Brown that myself and
all the Administration Democrats in the Dis
trict would, to a man, oppose Mr.. Cox if he
voted against the English bill, and without
this support Mr.. Cox could not be elected
l finally yielded to the solicitations of the
Post Master General, and called on Mr.. Cox.
On my entering the room Mr.. Cox exhibited
some surprise, but not enough so as to treat me
with discOlytesy." made my errand
known, which Mr. Cox no sooner heard than
he shook me cordially 6y the hORd, and had
some brandy and whisky brought into the
room, and we drank to one another-on my
LeaUiRg we took another drink together. am
of the opinion that Mr.. Cox seemed glad to
see me on that occasion-and l must state
that he treated me with unusual politeneSs
and courtesy.
As to my unauthorized" appearance be-
fore him, bearing message from Gov. Brown,
Mr.. Cox was not long in finding out whether
| was so commissioned or not lie has long
been GlDdTe that the late Post Master General
DID send me to him with the message, that
if he (COx) would vote for the English bill
"by cones would be by cones, and he would
be restored to full favor with the Post Office
Department, and NTH the Administration BIr.
Cox answers that he gave me an "evasive re-
ply" This is true-I did not anticipate any
thing but an evasive reply from Mr. Cox, and
was not disappointed.
Mr.. Cox, during the whole campaign, con-
suited with me, and was desirous that the
Lecompton Democrats should sustain his
nomination. I voted for him, and urged upon
all the Clerks in the Post Office at Columbus
to do the same. have reason to believe that
they voted for Mr.. Cox. In the interview
referred to, promised Mr.. Cox, on behalf Of
the Administration Democrats in his district,
that if he would vote for the English bill we
would all support him and put nothing in his
way as to his renominatiOn-this promise
was carried out by me in full faith.

Terrible Torpndoes.

Tornadoes are fast becoming the terror OF
the West. Within few years several the
most destructive have occurred, and this sea-
son, SO far, has excelled all others in their
number and severity. The storm which re-
Gently swept up the Ohio River Valley was
Que of unprecedented extent and power, caus-
sing fearful destruction of life and property.
But the storm and hurricane which swept over
portion Of Missouri and Southern Illinois
the night Of the I'd of june taking in its
course the city of Alton, and the tornado which
devastated a large tract Of country in Eastern
Iowa and Northern Illinois, the night follow
ing, scattering destruction and death in coun-
try and village, have no parallel in American
records. The loss of life is appalling. The
deaths by tornadoes this season, including the
recent ones in Clarion County, Pa, exceed
two hundred A great number of persons
have been seriously injured, and many maim-
ed for life. The damage to property is beyond
correct estimate

The Republicans at Washington have
commenced the Presidential Campaign with
spirit. A Washington letter says;- -

documents printed by the million, and ev-
erything done that could be done thus far.
They arc now ready 10 I'll all orders for doc

pondence with many Republicans Clubs
throughout the country, and they will be
glad to hear from every Club, and to supply
them with speakers as well US Documents

CsorrIa TrnItors,

They are cutting up some rather queer ca
pers in Georgia about these days, where, ac-
cording TO Douglas papers, the Little Giant
is Overwhelmingly strong. The Independent
South, published in Burke county, Georgia,
relates the following efIigy incident in point
On Friday last the citizens of Waynesboro'
and vicinity met, without distinction of party,
and in cool dcliberation without dissenting
voice, they proceeded TO hang in eiligy the
ten Georgia delegates who would not with
draw from the Charleston National Conven-
ton. They were hung in the public streets,
with the inscription labelled on them, "GeOr-
gia Traitors" and while swung up, they were
stoned and brickbatted by the little dafilies, (;
their remains were then taken out 10 the pa
rade ground, and hung up to the liberty pole
and burnt TO ashes-the cannon was fired one
time, with the mouth turned 10 the ground,
as a token Of submission on the part Of the
delegates.

The Lincoln stock.

True. we do, in common with our fathers who
framed the government under which we live, de-
clare our belief that Slavery is wrong-AbrahaH
Lincoln.
One of the oldest towns in Massachusetts,
is bingham, lying in pleasant valley, at the
head of tide-water It is quaint old place,
and in it is the oldest church now standing
on this continent; built within half century
of the time when the Pilgrims first pitched
their tents at the foot of the hill on whieh it
stands In that little band was the first Otis,
the ancestor of that James who appeared be-
fore the Colonial Courts on behalf of his fell
low-subiects against the Writs of Assistance,
and who led the popular resistance to the
IMPOSITION of taxation without representa-
ton; of whom John Adams said, be, more
than any other man, was the author of the
American Revolution. Peter Hobart, the an
cester of the late Bishop Hobart Of this State,
was the pastor Of this company Of Pilgrims
and of him it was said in the Colony, he twas
bold man, who would speak his mind" In
this band, also, and among those who fol-
lowed them year or two later, were the Lin
coins, the ancestors, without doubt Of all OF
that name, now scattered all over the United
States. It was an honored name in the old
country and it has never earned anything
but honor in its two centuries sojOurn in this.
One Of WashingtOn's most trusted Generals,
be whom his Chief called to receive the
sword Of Cornwallis-was of this stock. 1t
has given Governor and Lieutenant Gov
ernOr to Massachusetts,, and many offices of
trust have fallen to others Of the name, there,
and in other places. It's good, honest
blood, and has flowed for many generations
through the veins of honest men.
Abraham Lincoln undoubtedly came Of
this parentage. His grandfather went west
ward from Virginia and there is vague ira
dition. The probability is that he was an
emigrant from Massachusetts. The sons and
brothers Of this grandfather, whose name was
Abraham, indicate that they Were'of the Lin
coin family, who emigrated to bingham in
1897; and the Southern and Western branch
have'pEeserved the names so well known in
the annals of the old town whence they
sprung. A new honor has fallen upon that
patrOnymic, and higher still is yet to fol-
low =
We hold it to be something more than O
mere negative qualification that the man
Who we trust is to be the successful candi-
date for the Presidency comes Of a stock
which, for two centuries, has borne no blem-
/ ish upon its fair fame, but has been marked
by those sterling qualities of integrity, SINGER
| itY, and dcOnscientiousness which distinguished
the early settlers of New England.

MIR. Andrews Before the Covode Commit.

tee.
Mn. EDiToR The following article ap-
peared in the Telegraphic dispatch to the New
York Tribune from Washington, under date
of June lst. As the report is, in several par
ticulars, incorrect and is calculated to pro-
duce a wrong impression, you will do me the
favor to publish the article with the subioined
comments. In speaking of the Covode Com
mittee the report says;
"Mr. Andrews of Cleveland testified that
the late Postmaster-General Brown had re-
peated conversations with him pending the
passage Of the Lec0mpton bill with reference
TO the course Of members from Ohio on that
subject He had promised to induce Mr. Cobb
to appoint brother of Mr. Hall, then mem
Der, TO an Office in the Marine Hospital at
Cleveland if he would support the English
bill Himself and Others were applicants for
Offices at that time, but all action was sus-
pended until the bill was carried, with a view
of enlisting their united influence
What ! did testify to, in substance, was
that had frequent interviews with the Post
master General in relation to the Cleveland
Post Office, and was informed that no appoint
ments would be made in Ohio until the ques-
tions then before the House were disposed of;
and that had also called upon Secretary
Cobb TO procure the appointment of DR..
Strong to the office of Physician to the Ma
rine Hospital. Being unable to see Mr.. Cobb,
sought to obtain the influence of the Post
master-General to accomplish the object, and
in case DR.. Strong, who was my first choice,
could not be appointed, then to secure the ap-
pointment of DR.. Hall or some other Demo-
cTat. Mr.. Brown replied, that at the proper
time, he presumed there would be no difficult
ty about the matter. At a subsequent inter
view, the Postmaster-General asked me
whether was acquainted with the members
from Ohio. Upon being informed that | was
acquainted with some of them, he expressed
the desire that would exert what little in
huence had to secure the passage of the
English bill, as the public business had been
very much delayed by the discussion. There
was no connection between one transaction
and the other-they were separate inter
views, and related to different matters.

The Derby Ruces---Umpire Defeated.

The Derby Rnces---Umpire Defeated.
Mr.. Ten Brock entered his horse Umpire
for the Derby, the first American horse to
contend for those rich stakes. Umpire was a
iavorite among the thirty horses on the Der
by list but did not come in first second, or
even third. Thormandy won, the Wizard
was second, and Horror third. What posi-
ton Umpire got is not stated by telegraph,
which merely gives the result of the race
The owner of Thormandy is one of the
shrewdest men on the English turf, and he
must have won an immense stake. He had
a single bet with Mr.. Ten Brock of S., 900
that his horse would beat Umpire, and the
stakes, themselves, must have amounted to
S2s, 600. It is stated that had Umpire tri-
umphed, his owner would have won over
$4OO, 600, and even though he was defeated,
Mr.. Ten Brock still, through that system of
betting known as "hedging," won a large
orv,,
