Don't be Provoked so YioIence.-We
publish in another column short communication
from correspondent in Bristol There are some
expressions in the article that may sound harsh,
but we know the writer to be a true and genuine
Patriot and law-abiding citizen who would not
copntenauce any mob violence But there are
Others more excitable who may be induced to acts
on the spur of the moment, that that they would
regret in their cooler consideration.
We do hope that our friends, neither in the city
or country will allow themselves to be provoked
to deeds Of violence against the few symyathizers
and abettors OF Southern treason among us. The
!potor OF the Democrat and one or two of his Gro
MES in the city and few in the country trv tbe,r
best to provoke violence, Under the false nlea
of Free Speech and a Free Press they claim the
privilege of abusing and outragjng their fiien5s
aud neghbors, and praising approving and an.
plaudlng the men who are in arms against the Gov
ernment of their country, and who win be known
IN history only as traitors ond rebels. They hsy,
worked themselves into the beliefth that il would b.
brave and heroic to suffer persecution on accoun
OF this right 10 make themselves ridiculous and de
spjsed, Don't let rs give item an opportunity 4

[From the Rock Island Argus of FRIDAY
Terrible Accident as lEse Rock EsIand
EE ridge,

One Of the most shocking marine accidents
which ever occurred here. took place about 5
| 0 CLOCK yesterday afternoon, Thursday, May 8,
1861. The fine side wheel steamer Greg Eagle,
Capt. D, Smith Harris, on her down trip, in
passing the bridge, struck the pier on the H.
linois side ofrhe draw, just forward of her wheel
house, stove the boat aud sunk her to her texas
almost instantly The river was filed with
pieces of the floating wreck, and the bodies of
human beings struggling for lite, and their erie:
could be heard for d great distance.
The steam ferry boat went Immediately to
their assistance, and large numbers of skiffs
put out from either shore. Many persons were
rescued from watery grave by the skifs and
hQrIed TO the shore, IN an exhausted state, anG
taken care otby the people. The wreck ground
ed near the foot Of the island, swung around
head up stream, and was fast. The portion Of
1t above water was covered with human beings
who were taken off by the ferry boat
! The shores of Rock Island and Dayenpor
were lined with thousands OF spectators, an
every possible effort was made to save the unf
| fortunate passengers, The excitement amonp
the people and the Indignation against the
bridge was intense, and it only needed leade
TO have demolished the bridge at once.
! The Grey Edgte was one Of the northern
line boats, and was owned by the Galena
Dunleith and Minnesota Packet Company
She was valued at about $4,000, and it is re
ported that she was not insured--but this seem
hardly credible
Capt Harris, one of the oldest and most com
petent river pilots and captains, was at tn
wheel, as was his iuvariFble custom when mass
ing the bridge.
We visited the wreck and cambering owe
the broken portion above the fearful current
found Capt, Harris trying to save what proper
ty he could from the texas.

.-F7 We hope our neighbor Of the Times feels
better after ventilating his spite against us and
against the City Council last week We hopet the
Council win nor take his senseess trade to heart
to a very great extent His spite is divided SO
that it cannot fall SO heavily, He was foolish
enough to offer TO pay for the privilege of doing the
work for nothing, and then falls to fault finding
about it, and threatens tohold the city FOR $780, for
doing what he himself says, ho offered to give tw
dollars for the privilege of doing. We would mere
ly suggest that if he expects many favors from the
City Council, he should at least treat the mem
bers with common decency.
