FATAL AccIDENr.-We regret to an
nounce that child of Mr.. Isaac Phil
lips, aged about II months, as drowned,
by falling into a wash-tub, yesterday

Burlington Hacksye.
The STEAM to s-boat, John Heron
with two barges 10 TOW, the Buckeye
and Memphis, loaded with sixteen hum
dred bars Of railroad iron for the H., Fl.
d. e. NJ. railroad, arrived here from St.
LOUIS, on Tuesday morning last, dis
charged her freight, aud left on her re-
turn trip with full load OF produce,
Thursday morning last.
One thousand tons of railroad iron
are now being shipped fom Burlington
to Ottumwa, over the b. d. Nj. raj road,
Tor the X. TT. D. & M. railroad. Gen.
Reid went to Ottumwa, on Tuesday
last, on business Of the road. The cars
will be running, next week, to lowsville,
twenty miles above the summit.-keO-
kuk Journal.
GREAT FLooD.-Between two and
three o'clock on Thursday morning, q
heavy shower passed over this place.
The l;ghtni g and thunder were terrific
to weak nerves, though rather sublime
to the calm admirer of nature. Some
damage was done by the turbulent ele-
men,s.
We learn that the dwelling house OF
Capt. White was struck by lightning,
which passed down the chimney,'njur'ng
The wall, destroying fine mantle, and
doing damagc to the amount OF about
seventy-6ve dollars.
One of the buildings in Mechanic
Block was partially undermined by the
water. some eight feet or more OF the
wall having been washed out.
Several dwelling houses in various
pats parts of the city were flooded in
the cellar kitchens, much to the annoy
ance of midnight slumberers.
We notice that several of the frame
stores between Parmelee's jewelry store
and Third street were very damp, and
considerable damage was done to Mrs.
Talon's goods.
The Ra lroad bridge across that crazy
run by Patterson & TImbcrman's pork
house was cleaned out, and the embank-
ments washed more or less.
Some bridges on the Carthage Rail
road were she'd ont, and other dam
age done to the track-to what extent
we were not able to learn.
As the steamboat train was coming
down from Mon,rose early yesterday
morning. the tack between the mill
and the bridge at saadusky, spread out,
and was considerably broken up-one
of the cars being also injured. Work
men were set to work as soon as Pos
sibIe, to repair damages.-Keokuk Gate

PIGEON BOOST TOWNSHIP MEET
 ING


 A portion of the Democracy of Pigeon Roost Township, met in primary meeting at Hickory Plain, on Saturday the 18th instant.
 The meeting was called to order by electing Col. JOHN c. DAVE. Chairman and requesting D. ". DAVIS to act as Secretary.
 On motion of Col. Pittman, commit- tee of four was appointed to draft resolu- tions expressive of the sense of the meet ing. The Chairman appointed Col. A A. Putnam, Dr. w. L. Moore, Asa Pipkin, Esqr.. and D. w. Davis.
 The committee after short conference reported the following resolutions which were unanimously adopted:
 RESOLVED: That we approve the propo- sition to hold convention of the Democracy of Prairie county, at Brownsville on the 18th of March, and that this meeting appoint eve " Democrat in Pigeon Roost Township as delegates, and request as many of them as possible, to attend.
 RESOLVED: That in view of the unfortu- nate differences now dividing the Democratic party of this State, we feel called upon to say that the issues which are made the divid- ing line between the two wings of the party are not such as ought to divide us that we perceive in this controversy, nothing more than personal feud between rival chieftains of the Democratic party, and that the ques- tions about which they differ are either al- ready settled or present issues about which Democrats may and do differ
 RESOLVED: That the Democratic party is one of principle, and as such, it is above and beyond the fortunes of any man or set of men and that it's unity and organization must be preserved even at the expense of total repu- diation of these gentlemen upon both sides who have been the efficient instruments of disorg ganization that the democratic masses are determined to take this question away from intriguing politicians into their own hands and that they do not intend that the petty rivalries of the Johnsons, the Hindmans, the Conways and the Duvalls shall prevent a thorough union of the party.
 RESOLVED: That the Democratic masses ought not and will not be made parties to a miserable partzan war which involves noth- ing higher than the success of rival politi- clans; but that we will organize upon the basis of our ancient creed without any re- ference or regard to the success of the rival leaders of the opposing wings of our party, and act as becomes men who value tprinci- pie more than men.''
 REsovED: That the Des Arc CITIZEN, the TRUE DEMOCRAT andthe OLD-LrNE DEM GRAF be requested to publish the proceedings of this meeting.
 On motion the meeting then adjourned.
 JOHN c. DAVE, Chairman.
 D. ". DAVIS, Secretary.

 EXPENSES OF THE CAMPAIGN.-At a late caucus of the Republican members o the New York Legislature, MT. Sessions a leading Republican, is reported to have said "they had got Republican Presi. dent to elect, and would need million of dollars 10 accomplish it, and he though, 1t their duty to be looking around to see where 1t was to come from" A witness recently testified in an examination be- fore commissioner appointed by the City of Baltimore, that sSenator Cameron, of Pennsylvania, desired to secure an inter- est in the Baltimore city street railroads, as an electioneering lever. Cameron de- clared that he believed the States oi Penn sylvania, New Jersey and Maryland would determine the election of the next President, and that then street railroads could be made politically very effective. The South and the Democracy must learn what they have to encounter. Fraud, knavery, cant, hypocricy, money. rail- roads, banks, Abolilionists, Oppositonists, all mixed up, are 10 be poured out upon them like iood-and will form a- flood of corruption that only the bark of their tried principles, guided by the unterri- fed" can ride with safely.-- Memphis Avalanche.

- The Governors of the States of the Union, including the Governor elect of Kan sas are seventeen Democrats, sixteen Repub- lcans, and one, in Maryland American. The Democratic Governors are in fourteen slave holding States and three free States. The Re- publicans are, of course, all in free States.
 The Harpers, who paid Howadji Cur tis, thorough abolitionist, S6,000 per annum for his contributions to their paper, have thrown him overheard, in consequence of the excitement on the slavery question.
 The Maryland Legislature has finally passed the resolution, which had been pending, i1- structing the representatives in Congress to use their influence with the national Govern ment for the negotiation of treaty with Great Britain for the restoration of fugltiVes from the United States who may be found In Canada.
 TEA PLANTS FOR THE SoUTH.-The Agri- cultural Bureau at Washington is about to dis tribute number of tea plants in those States south of Virginia, but none will be sent North until April. There are no seeds this year to be given to members of Congress, as has gen. eraIy been done hitherto. Owing to the limited amount of appropriation on hand the office was unable to purchase any.
 The New York Tribune is fully satisfied with the triumph of the Republicans in the election of Pennington. It styles MT. P. a s.well-tried Republican," and says his cleo tion Sis just as perfect and complete triumph for the Republicans as the election of any one of their number could have been."
 ALABAMA MANUFACTURING FIREARMS "A bill is before the Alabama Legislature, giving a bonus of $20,000 to any person who, within eighteen months, shall manufacture 1,00C rifles, equal to the army rifle, within the State; the individual giving bond in $4o,o0o to continue the manufacture for five years.

SONORA, MEXICO letter from 6 gentleman, at Guayamas, Mexico, of the 10th of December last, says:
 It will be an easy matter to dig out o Sonora at least sixty million dollars o silver yearly, and no one knows how much gold and copper On the Yaqu river there are gold washings from which a single hand with pan can get from one hundred to five hundred dollars per day. The Indians will not take the trouble 10 wash for it, as they say they get enough 10 eat without it. There are copper. gold. tin, bisInulh, silver and coal mines all over the State of Sonora; besides the soil is fertile, and the port of Guaymas one of the finest in the world. Al the present time. in mid-winter, oranges are growing in the open air, and I sleep pleasantly without covering.
