IHE nTTAWA nATASTRnPHE.

A correspondent of the Sandusky Reg
Ister describes at length the horrible trag-
edy occurring on the 4th, on board the
steamer Ottawa near Put-in-Bay. The
gentleman was on board the steamer at
the time, and thus gives the particulars:
Miss Phebe Ann Whitehead, after be-
ing cautioned repeatedly by Mrs. Jane
Montgomery, one of the unfortunates, to
be careful In passing over the shaft, lest
she might be caught in the bolts of the
connection, was the first to perish. Jest
ingly she knocked a cigar out OF the
mouth of her brother, and running away
towards the bow of the boat, having to
pass through the cabin and over the shaft,
as i'll luck would have it, she stopped
astride of the shaft and looked back to
see whether her brother was following
While in this position, the nuts or bars
on the connection caught in her hoops
and dragged her under. Finding herself
going, she caught hold of Mrs. Montgom-
cry, who was standing by her, talking to
Mrs. Southwick, who was reclining in a
bunk with a babe in her arm. Mrs. M.
in turn hung on to Mrs. Southwick, and
the three were drawn into the jaws of
death. They were whirled completely
round before the machinery could be
stopped. Miss Whitehead and Mrs.
Montgomery were torn and mangled be-
yond description. Mrs. Southwick SEEM
ed little injured, but when the machinery
stopped there was little or no life in her.
Mrs. Montgomery's limbs were torn from
her body, and the body otherwise horri-
bly, mangled. Miss Whitehead, being
the first to pass under, was covered by
the clothes Of Mrs. M. Mrs. Southwick
was found under the shaft, with her
clothes wound around it, face downward,
and apparently choked to death by her
victims loose, we had to chop the hoops
and clothing from the shaft. The mel
ancholy work occupied an hour and a
half.

The Dayton Journal has this to say OF
General Sherman and the Union ticket:
AT the Union State Convention, on
the 21st ult., a gentleman, whose verac,
ity we cannot question, said that General
Sherman remarked in his hearing that no
COpperhead had ever approached him
with political %overtures, and he added
that if they did they would be content
not to repeat the operation. The story
that he is to be the Copperhead nominee,
we regard as a mere freak of fancy. We
have no doubt, whatever, that if General
Sherman is in Ohio on the second Tues
day of October, he will vote the entire
Union ticket. We know from unim-
peaehable testimony, that he regards Gen.
Cox, not only a most gallant soldier, but
a clear-headed, able man."

IMPORTANT CAPTURE OF REBEL ARCHIVES.

New YORK, July 10th.-The Times
Washington special says: Major Shipman
of the 1st Wisconsin Cavalry. arrived
here last evening from Macon, having in
charge 40 boxes Of captured archives of
the rebel government. They consist of a
complete record of the proceedings of the
rebel Provisional Congress, held in Mont
gomery in the spring of 1861. These doc
uments were captured from Howell Cobb,
in whose possession they had been placed
for safe keeping. The entire official his
records while under command of Bragg,
Johnston and Hood, are part of this lot.
Also, the books of the rebel treasury de-
partment, captured at Albany, Ga, which
point they had reached as a part of JEFF.

HORRIBLE ACCIDENT AT ToUsANG-

Since the assassination cases have been
finally disposed of, attention is again be-
ing directed to JEFF. Davis. The latest
advices from Washington state that it
has been determined to try him before a
military commission in that city, for COM
plicity in the plot to assassinate the Pres
ident. It is said additional evidence of
his guilt has been discovered among the
last batch Of rebel archieves captured.

croft, in the Atlantic Monthly, shows that
in 1877, the vote Of New Jersey only was
wanting to sustain the proposition of JEFF
terson, by which slavery would have been
excluded, not only from territory in pos
session of the United States, but from all
they might subsequently gain. The pre-
sent politicians of that State who oppose
the Constitutional Amendment, are there
fore only true to her history.

The expenditures of the Government
for the fiscal year ending on the Both ult.,
are estimated at one millionof dollars for
each working day, being equal to $780,
100000 meet which, receipts derived
from duties on imposts and from internal
revenue, are estimated at about the same
amount. consequently the funds derived
from recent and pending loans are appro-
priated to other uses. This statement of
the Secretary of the Treasury settles the
question, that after a cessation'of borrow
ing, (Which we believe will cease from
henceforth,) the revenues of the Govern
ment will be adequate not only to meet
all the expenses of the Government, but
to begin handsomely the liquidation Of
our national indebtedness.

The prompt execution of the assassina-
ton conspirators, has given very general
satisfaction, it having been confidently
claimed by those who wished it might be
so that President johnson would not con-
firm the finding of the tribunal by which
they were tried and would remand them
for trial before the civil courts. Of the
guilt of the parties there is no room for
doubt, indeed two of those executed con-
fessed their guilt; and that they were
justly and properly punished is the YER
dict of nine-tenths of the people of the
loyal States. Strong efforts were made
by the rebel sympathizers of Washing
ton and vicinity to have the execution
staid, especially in the case of Mrs. Sur
raft, in whose behalf a writ of RGbeas
corpus was issued by one Of the District
Judges, but the President having declar-
ed the writ suspended, the effort did not
avail. An attempt is now being made by
the same parties to create doubt as to her
guilt; but this too will be unavailing, as
positive testimony of her completely was
adduced on the trial, which was coTrobo-
rated by a great deal of strong circum-
stantial; evidence. Her house was the
headquarters of the conspirators, and if
human evidence is to be believed she was
the leading spirit of the guilty conclave.

The general publication last summer of
the returns of income has had a most
salutary effect. as is manifest by the re-
turns for the year 1864, now being pub
lished. The number reporting income
for taxationlis ,largly increased, and the
amount returned by prominent capital
lists and business men is generally much
larger than that for 1868, in many cases
the amount of the present more than
doubling that of the proceeding return,

The fact that wild game overruns Vir-
glnla proves how soon a country can fall
back into its original wilderness when
cultivation ceases. Beers and bears are

war; Quails and rabbits literally swarm

The London News admits that all the
European historical cases cited by the
English journals as arguments for the
~lenient treatment of JEFF. Davis are inap-
plicable. 1t instances the executions of
the Jacobites in 1745, and the proposals
of the British Ministers in regard to
Napoleon Bonaparte, and adds IF Mr..
Davis is to be saved, it must be by the
exercise of a m~agnanimity of which no
State of European C~hristendom affords
an example and the Americans are a
people of too much original ability not to
be able to ascertain for themselves the
r which becomes their character in
their present situation"
