a REGENERArING INFLUENcE IN PoLIrlcs.
Austin Brooks, the editor of the Quincy
Herald, having become a convert to tho
Christian religion, utters the following t.
his readers in the last issue Of his paper:
We shall return to our duties as editor Of
the Herald, il we return to them at oil, q
very different man from what we were when
we left them some weeks since. We say
return to them at oil, for we really do not
know at present what Gods purpose is
respecting US. Many of our readers have
doubtless heard, and those Of them that
have not shall now hear that great change
has come over US, that revolution has
been wrought in our heart that the things
we once loved, possess attractions for US no
more that our habits, thoughts, emotions,
iaclinations, feelings, aims, in short all there
has been of us, SO far Is it had respect to
the things Of this life, have been reversed
in word, that God, in His mercy, hath
pardoned our sins, and they are many, for
when we were made fully to realize their
enormity and extent they were fearful to
behold.

POLICE COURF.-Felix B! Stark, whose ar-
rest we mentioned yesterday, was brought
before the Mayor for examination, which
was continued till to-day. Frank Willen-
boree, who had been arrested on charge of
breach Of the peace, and dismissed on bail,
failed to appear, and the bail was declared
forfeit. John Dunn, on the same CHARGE
was fined 81 60, costs included.
CRcu1T CoURT.-The case Of Louis Loeb
was tried before the Circuit Court yestef-
day, but wal not completed. He keeps q
paper store on Pike. street, near Madison,
and has been acting as agent for a firm in
Cincinnati, buying paper, rags, old iron,
brass, &c. The charge against him is that
he has purchased these articles from boys,
knowing them to be stolen.
ABoRIsINEs.-The party of Kaw Indians,
ten in number, which has been encamped on
the hills outside of the city, yesterday pulled
UP stakes and left. A large number of cit
izens, out of curiosity, paid them a visit OF
Sunday, and came TO the conclusion that
they were rather poor specimens of the tribe
they represent. On the whole, the people
are glad to see them depart. D
DISTRESSING AoCIDRNT.-We heard yester-
day of a very distressing accident, which
occurred at the residence of MIR. Casey. ST, a
man doing business on the corner of Fourth
and Marx Ell. space. 1t seems that while q
portion of the family were out of the room
a servant girl, who had charge of a small
child, found a package of cartridges belong
ieg to Mr.. Casey and tried the experiment Of
throwing one into the FIRE. An explosion
followed, and a portion of the cartridge
lodged in her eye. She at first, to screen
herself started the report that she had been
shot, but from an examination of the prem
ises, the foregoing were judged to be the facts
in the case. She is in the care of DIR.
Thomas and is in a fair way to recover, with,
however, the entire loss of the eye. rV

an excellent rendition, and ELECTED the warm

landed on the Illinois side. Thiaboat as we
learn, bad besn up the Missouri River nearly
all Winter, and the captain OF owners had be-
coms involved in some difficulty. What The
particular nature Of the trouble was, we did
not learn, but infer that the hands could not
gel their pay. 1t was the intention, I'M
dOubte dly, OF the captain to run the ShreUe-
port down TO New Orleans, but when oppo-
site this point the mate suggested that she be
run into this port. Captain Northern OBJ
iected. The mate and other hands were quite
clsmorous, and insisted that the boat should
come in at his port. The captain still per
sisted in bis course, when the mate and deck
hands became so violent, Captain Northern
drew his pistol and fred. The ball entered
the mates mouth, tearing away a large p0r
ton of the jaw and doing other damage,
The deck hands then fell upon the captain
and gave him a severe beating. The boat
we believe, still lies across the river, but nc
arrests have been made of either OF the par
ties. This story may net be correct, but we
give it as it was related 70 us. 1.ll,5lF

SCARCITY OF Provisions IN GREAT BRITAIN.
A dearth of provisions of the vegetable kind
is beginning to be felt in England and Ire
land. Potatoes in the latter country are
rising in price and taken up largely for ex-

fourteen pounds, nearly double what they
should be. Indian corn and oat meal will
soon be the chief reliance for the poor. In
England, the seed-wheat is said to be turn
