At your request give
you an account of the drowning of Gov.
Harvey. His party arrived at Savannah
on Tuesday evening. the 18th inst, where
FIVE of the number remained to look after
and care for the wounded of our Wiscon-
sin regiments. The governor and the rest
of his party proceeded at once to Pitts
burgh Landing, where be remained until
Saturday afternoon, the 10th inst. devet-
ing himself with unwearied industry to
making arrangements for our wounded,
and to the reorganization of the 18th reg
iment. After engaging passage home
ward on the Minnehaha, Saturday after
noon, the 18th inst, he returned to Sa-
vannah on ferry boat. l noticed that be
appeared nervous and anxious, evidently
about the difficulty of satisfying all the
conflicting interests as to the places made
vacant in the late terrible battle, and of
having all the wounded removed, as be de-
sired, to the hospitals. He went immedi-
ately to work visiting the wounded at Sa-
vannah. In the evening all arrangements
were made for leaving at six o'clock p. NJ,
the time when the Minnehaha was due
We waited for her until / 0 o'clock p. NJ,
when the governor announced her arrival
and called upon all bis company to 60
aboard. He went directly from the saloon
down to the lower deck of the Dunleith,
upon which crowd was standing to 90
aboard. The governor was standing on
the guard Of the Dunleith, talking with
DIR. Clarke, of Racine, who was on the
Minneba aha, when in some unaccountahle
way, be stepped directly into the river
DR.. Wilson, of his company, as be rose to
the surface of the water, reached him his
cane, which the grasp of the governor at
once wrenched from his hand.~ DR.. Clarke
plunged in after him but found that
the powerful current which had been in
creased by the wheels of the Minnehaha,
was sweeping both of them under barge
below and he swan for his life and seized
the wheel Of the Dunleith swinging his
feet so that if possible they might be reach
ed by tbe governor. The soldier on guard
on the Hosrital boat below, as I was in
formed seized light and rope and told
the governor to keep clear Of the barge
and he would throw him the rope. But
the current was two powerful for human
effort, encountered as the governor vas by
bis overcoat, and he swiftly passed out #.
view under the barge. All this passed in
a very few seconds. Capt. Wright Of the
Minnehaha instantly lowered boat and
made diGgent search in the rain and
darkness for him, but all in vain. Thus
in the maturity of his strength, in the Wig
or of health, amid bis usefulness and hon
ors, surrounded by bis friends who were
ready to risk their lives for his safety, but
who were compelled to stand in mute an
guish at their inability to respond to his
single call for heIp-amid the descending
rains and midnight Darkness in the swol- |
len turbid current of the Tennessee, our
noble governor Harvey, entered the oval
ley of the shadow Of Death

near as may be the suggestions it contains.
WANTED Three young ladies of good
disposition, and prepossessing appearance heir
esses to an immense property, having recently
been left orphans, are DESTROYS of finding life
companions and protectors. Professional gem
tlemen under fifty years of age preferred.
Please address the Misses Helen Lucy and
Anna Graham, Watertown jeff Co. Wisconsin.
We had supposed the day was past when
young ladies of prepossessing appearance
and rich, had to go begging for protec-
ton from the countless incidentals of this
life but it seems there are three charm
ing creatures yet without the pale of hu-
man protection such as they desire. We
hardly think they can possibly remain long
unprotected. If they are erich, rare and
beautiful - why should not some poor fell
low who has neither the beauty nor the
riches take pity on them? Why should
they be allowed to pass over the rough
waters of this world alone? They have
probably lived SOLITARY and alone long
enough they want somebody to quarrel
with-kiss and make up again; somebody
to talk to and somebody to talk back
somebody's hair to pull, &c.
If we may be allowed to judge-or rath-
er pre,judge-we would say the ladies are
respectively aged between the years of
g sweet sixteen :" and g hopeless forty )"
middling size; bright, sparkling eyes; ro-
sy cheeks and ruby lips; hair of the most
beautiful color and curls 50 to fits ;" teeth
of "pearly white; . sweet dimpled chins;
noses that give their faces most charming
expressions semi-pellucid necks; ears of
moderate dimensions; lily-white, alabaster
hands; complexion of the kind most gen.
orally coveted; and general form not a
whit behind the most worshipped ideal of
beauty. Their accomplishments, we will
venture to say, are of the bighte-cum-ti-
te F." order; polished manners and prepos-
sessing ways, They are undoubtedly gay
birds, and as they have cages of their
own the young chap who is yet unacouain-
ted with the joys and comforts of welded
bliss is destitute of appreciation if he does
not nest with them. AS they go in %
promiscuously, no young gentleman need
have any fears on the score of uncomely
appearance or direful habits Go in lem
ons, and come out mock oranges. If you
get squeezed it will take some of the sour
out of you.

Tenor have we from the planets
Never, never, oh, no, never,
Never in this world before
In this land of rye and wheat-stacks.
In this land of grinning corn-cribs.
In this land of richest beauties,
Beauties far more rich than told of,
In this land of untold riches,
In this land of peace and plenty,
Dwell some merchants
How it is or how it can be,
That they sell, and yet with profit,
Goods much cheaper than their neigh
bors,
Is question for the muses.
A mystery hangs about the question,
Underlined and undefnable.
A rush is always seen at Howells'.
Owing greatly to low prices.
Prices lower than found elsewhere.
This is true-as true as can be,
Goods of every style aud pattern,
Every stripe, and shade and color,
Every quality-except the poor ones
Goods that never prove failure,
Goods direct from eastern cities,
Goods selected for this market.
HOWells' is the store we sing of,
And we'll tell you where to find them:
They are located up on Main-street,
To the westward of the river,
On bit toward the sunset,
Where you'll find them /" all attention"
Attention to the wants of patrons.

About Business.

Business is reviving here considerably
though it is not as good as it would be
were the roads in better condition. Most
of our merchants have been cas-, and have
received their spring stocks. People who
want to buy goods cheap and have large
assortments to select from should come to
"atertown-Grst looking over the adver-
tlslng columns of the local papers to as
certain where the goods may be found and
who the enterprising merchants are. As
a general thing you may lay it down as a
rule that will be found correct every time
that the merchant who advertises in the
newspapers and avails himself of printers
ink in bis business, is more liberal man
to deal with. and keeps up with the times
better, than his neighbor who hides his
light under 6 bushel and plods along day
after day without the use of these appli
