The Catastrophe in Chill.

On our first page will be found full
and graphic account Of the sad occurrence
at Santiago, the capital ol the republic Of
Chill, in South America. 1t is the most
appalling Catastrophe of modern times,
and accustomed as we are to the tremen-
dous scenes of carnage and death now con-
stantly occurring so near US, on the battle
field, our blood almost curdles at thi, new
horror. The unexpectedness Of the event
the character and number of the helpless
victims, their devotion, and the indescri-
badly terrible circumstances of the occur
renee, all stamp it as uuparelled in modern
times, far eclipsing the loss of the Royal
George, in the last century, the fall Of the
Penberton Mills, and the other sad events
which have thrilled the globe with horror.

AN exchange illustrates the condition
of renegade Democrats pretty well. An
Indian who had lost his reconing in the
woods, suddenly stopped and exclaimed g,
"lndian lost" but unwilling to recognize
his own blunder thus he thought mo.
ment, and added, "No Indian not lost
wigwam lost" These fellows that leave
the Democratic party never get lost-the
party is lost. Like the bewidered inc
briate, in the story, who, with his brain
all in whirl, stood in one of the public
squares, waiting for his house to come
round they too are waiting for the party
TO come round to them. But unless they
"stir their stumps" and get home before
night sets in, they will be likely to lie out
in the cold.

hourishing borough, capital Of Franklin

Valley railroad with the Franklin railroad,
IS miles S. w. of Harrisburg, and $50
miles w. of Philadelphia. 1t is connect
ed by good turnpike roads with Baltimore,
Pittsburg and Philadelphia, Harrisburg,

brick or stone. 1t had in 1850, a fna

PACIFIC STATES.

The State of California, although it has
politically fallen into. the hands Of the
Republicans, shows no disposition to sus-
tain the war upon the South by sending
men OF money No volunteers have been
raised there among the bona .1Sae citizens
of the State, and we question ii any troops
have been there raised by draft.
So far as the present struggle is concern
ed, the Pacific States seem determined to
be pacific in more ways than one, and it is
likely enough that they will soon reach q
point at which they themselves will seek
independence of the Washington govern

fare, but by placing unarmed and helpless
