A Terrible Tragedy.
From the Lcav2nworth Bulletin, 21st il

From the Lcavenworth Bulletin, 21st inst
From Mr. Moran, of Platte City, we have
learned y few particulars Of most bloody
affair that has recently transpired in Clay
and Platte counties 1t appears tha5 a
quarrel had long existed between man
named Elgin, keeper Of an inn at Missouri
City, ard the Titus brothers, five IN num-
Der, residing near Platte City. The Titus
brothers were in Missouri City on Monday
last, whom violent alteration took place
between them and Elgin, in which the lat
ter shot and killed two Of the brothers, and
succeeded in making his escape, and reach
,ng the house of his father in-laW, Mr.. VIVA.
Iatman, few miles from Platte City.
But the avengers were on the trail, and
during the following night traced him to
his hiding place and surrounded the house
Llgn broke from the house and attempted
to cyade his pursuers, but they were too
many and too good shots to permit that
lie was killed by a ball in the back while
fleeing, and about two hundred yards from
the house
The surviving Titus brothers surrender
ed themselves to the hands of the law. and
are now in the custody Of the Sheriff at
Platte City. It is asserted that the pursu-
ers Of Elgin had a writ f.; him, issued in
Clay and renewed in Platte county.
lt is difficult to say who were the acgrcs-
sOrs in the aiIlay in Missouri City, the
friends Of both parties laying the blame on
the other

New Poland in VIRGINIA.

4 colony of Polish exiles has recently set
tied in Spottsylvania county, Virginia,
mon fine tract Of Land. embracing some
twenty four hundred and fifty acres. The
preliminary arrangements have been under
the charge Of Gen. Tochman, Of Richmond,
who, at a recent meeting of the exiles at
their new home, gave an account of the
subscription moneys (about s., 300) which
he had received in New York and Dati-
more, il. aid of the enterprise lie said:
''In conclusion, let ne remind you, fel-
low -countrymcn, that the sad circumstances
which drove you land myself before you J
from the iand CT Sobicwski, Kosciusko
a Puhski, are well known to the world; in
spite, therefore, of the studied miSrcpre-
sentaions of the social and political charac-
ter ofyour country, you have the good will,
feelilg and sympathy Of the intelligent in
ever civilized community; prove, then, by
yoUl own actions and by your Conduct, that
you are the worthy and faithful custodlanS
Of goul ancestors household gods, virtues
and perseverance and that you have come
to tlG land Of Washington to preserve them

and adoption. You will soon find here a
New Poland that will remuneratc your in
dustry, by securing a competency to your
selves and to your children and that will
grow, to be ready to help the Old Poland
when the proper time arrives"
The immigrants are heartily received by
the Virginians. The Richmond Enquire,
says:
We welcome these cxies from the despot-
ism which sets like death upon their native
land, and commend them to the full meas
urc of Virginia hospitality and kindness. =
In behalf OF our readers and Of our whole
people, we reciprocate with emotion, their
courteous greeting" and tender of good
will--Words to which, like themselves, we
have long been ana c1st )med. We receive
with much pleasure their proifered cooper,
alton in developing the resources Of Virgin
ia, and wish them much prosperity and
happiness in their new home. We hope
our people will make it Il point to show a
special Kindness to this interesting little col
ony. It's success Will attract many molc,
its failure would be disastrous. 1t is the
start which we have been wishing for, and
it is Of great Importance that it result
happily.

Annexation of Canada.

/ sermon preached last Sunday evening
at Kingston, Canada, by Rev. j. A. Allen,
a clergyman of the English church, has
excited interest and comment on both sides
the Canada line The audience present on
the occasion was large, and comprised the
most influential portion of the community
in that vicinity. The purport Of the SER
mon is manifested in the following extract :
am aware that what | am about to ad-
vOcate Is at the present moment dlstastetul
10 a small portion of the inhabitants Of
Canada, and there may be few Ignorant
persons present who may accuse me OF dis
loyalty to England; yet, what ] am going
to advise is not only in the interest OF Can
ada, but, in al especial degree, of Great
Britain. Let no one be startled when L
say that the greater portion of the inhabl-
tants of Canada are in favor of annexation
to tic United States. Every question,
whether from the pulpit or the rostrum,
should he calmly discussed; for truth Is
sure TO be elected in collision Of honest
thought
The thundcrer of England informs us
that we are a drag on England; that the
mother country has to supply US with men.
money and ships, and erect forts for our
defence; and that we are the only weak
point in the British Empire; but If annex
ed to the United States we should be a
source of strength Our members Of con-
gress could speak in the halls of Washing
ton of the gentle rule of England and we
could teach the Americans that England
was their friend, and educate a better spirit
among her people, which would end in
full reconciliation and lasting good will.
England and America, strong In unity,
no great wrong could be perpetrated in the
world Has not the public press of Eng
land, the organ of the national mind, told
us again and again you are a people thou
sands of miles remote from us, and who can
form a juster opinion Of what is for your
interests than we who are so far distant.
Consult your own we'll being and ask to be
annexed to the greatrepubiic. If you stay
with US you must defend yourselves. Let
us be friends, living in peace; let u part
in peace. This being the Interpolation of
public opinion in England, why should it
be styled treason in Canada by those at the
head OF government?
The learned divine continued at great
length in explaining the sentiments Of the
Canadians towards the United States during
the rebellion, and said it was the duty Of
Canada to be annexed to the United States
in order by their votes it could save to the
south all her former rights under the old
Union, and become the means of reconciling
tha north anl coutb

A Bald Feat.
From the Buffalo Express


A painfully intense excitement was expc-
rienced by hundreds of people living along
Niagara River, on Tuesday afternoon, at
the sight Of a vessel with three men on
board, being rapidly borne down the cur
rent toward the Falls, without any appa-
rent possibility of rescue from the shore. -
The facts are as follows:
As Il small Canadian trading schooner,
the Whip, Captain j. 7. Young, was being
towed out Of Chippewa Harbor by the tug
Bu6dyo, the lire by which she was attached
to the tug was broken by the strength of the
current and she was carried swiftly down
toward the rapids above the Falls. The
captain and two men on board saw at once
that they were in imminent danger, having
neither anchor nor small boat, and being in
such position that no one dared attempt
their rescue from the shore
By this time hundreds of people were
! gathered along the banks, expecting moth
| ing else than certain destruction to the YES
| sci and her crew ; but when within a couple
! the rapids, the cool head of the captain
conceived an idea which saved the lives Of
| the whole party as well as the vessel
There was quite gale blowing up the river
at the time, and the master, with the aid
of his two men, seeing all other relief out
of the question, ordered all sail hoisted and
sailed out of the very jaws of death, against
the powerful current of the river, absolute
~ landing soon after at Hog Island in
safety, having gone further down the Nj
agara River than any other man ever did
in boat, and escape.
The admiration and relief of the people
along the river banks, upon the execution
Of the captain plan, found vent in fire.
quent cheers when it became apparent that
his efforts would prove successful.

avoid this responsibility? If you do not
pected that Andrew johnson will Oh,
the sublimity Of such Inconsistency
Let US see. for a moment, II there
exists no reason for the remarkable backing
down Of these gentlemen. We must give
them credit Of possessing at least ordinary
intelligence They have been smart enough
aud shrewd enough to control masses Of
people. and hence they must oehoked upon
a. above the level Of the masses in intclec-
tual strength. Aud here = precisely where
the secret lies. They are smart enough and
shrcwd enough TO know that the admins
tration Of Andrew johnson has been, TO say
the least Of it, nearer cOniOrmcd to constr
tutiOGal requirements than have they or
congress: and that the issues presented to
the people vii! not stand the test Of judicial
.crutiny with any credit to congress or its
adherents They know that they have
simply excited, and then used, the worst
passions Of the People; and that the pas
sions thus excited, must, sooner or a,er
snt.dr and an honest and candid JudG-
nent be rendered They know that the
ten states TO which they deny representa-,
ton in congress are constltutionaiiy enttlea
to such representation and that thus the
very foundation Of the dispute between the
executive and legislative branches OF the
government lies in the error and wrong OF
the latter. They know that the interests OF
the country would be subserved by the ad-
mission Of those states to representation
year ago, in accordance with the right to be
admitted Aud hence they know that,
when specially and solemnly sworn to try
this issue on bill Of impeachment against
the President, the great high court OF I'M,
parchment with the eyes OF the civilized
world fastened upon it, must vlndicate the
policy Of Andrew johnson administration
How damaging such verdict would be to
the black republican party, can well be
,urmised. Hence the conclusion that 1t Is
not wise to prosecute such a measure.
Now, what ore the people Of the north
to say to the men that have so abused their
confidence? These men have ridden into
Office, and their party into new lease OF
power On false pTCtences and ~ cheating
the people They knew, as well when they
were before the people as they know now,
that 10 impeachment OF the President Is
possible. They Knew in Baltimore before
the election, as well as they knew alter the
election, that they had 30 claim upon the
machinery, and were inglorlouSly defeated
They held it for purpose. And precisely
as well did they know when they were eX-
citing ard embitterIng the public mlnd a.
gainstthe PRESIDENT his administration, and
the southern section Of the union, that they
were all wrong but they knowingly rrac-
ticeI the wrohg for purpose. But what
are the intelligent people Of the country to
think Of these people when they find out, as
they will within the next three months,
what puppets and tools they have been
made ~

From the New Haven (Ct.) Palladium, Nov %
About half past eleven O'Clock last night
a fire broke out in b. schoninccr's melode-
on company factory, in Kimberly avenue
1t was first discovered by the Waterman,
who aroused the engineer The heat was
so intense that they were unable to attempt
to cxtlnguish the fire, 50 they endeavorcd
tC remove as much of the property as was
possible They only succeeded in saving
three Or four of the Instruments and the
safe and books. All the workmen's tools
were destroyed A large amount of lum-
Der belonging to the company, and stored in
an adjacent yard, was also consumed. The
building was entirely Of wood no brick be-
ing used IN its construction, and consequent
ly burned with great rapidity. The firemcn
were quickly on hond, but their efforts were
in vain. The fire originated in the kiln,
where the wood used in the construction of
the instruments was dried The loss is very
heavy. The building and its contents
were insured in several compa MES There

The Lac Ia Belle Disaster.
Detroit. Nov. 26.


One Of the parties dispatched to the
wreck Of the Loc Ia Bette has returned to
this city. They found her in a much worse
condition than had been anticipated, and
the probabilities are that she will be a total
loss. The force Of the collision was very
great, and the boat is severed almost in
twain She is in such a condition that to
raise her is considered an impossibility
She lies almost parallel with the direction
Of the river current, and near the American
shore. Her stern is twenty-five feet from
shallow water Early yesterday morning
the wreckers got to work, and the diver at
once proceeded to cut his way through the
hurricane and promenade decks, and de-
cended to the clerk Office. Here he OBJ
tanned a quantity OF papers, etc, which
were strewn around, and ascertalned that
the safe was locked and in good condition.
On account of his armor leaking badly he
was only able to remain under water short
time. \ cable will be attached to the safe
to day, and an effort made to extricate it
The w,eckers proceeded in boats to cut
away the hurricane deck, and procured all
the furniture, piano, bedding, and linen be-
longing to the vessel, which they placed On
board the Heather Bel.
The above is the principal work accom-
piisEed yesterday. To-day an effort will
be made to procure the safe and other val
lables
