Three Persons sufFOoated in We'll

a frightful disaster, resulting in the death
of three persons occurred at Downers Grove,
Dupage county, about eighteen miles west
of Chicago, on the Burlington and Quincy
Railway, on Friday morning. The following
particulars are gathered from the scene of
the disaster
A pump well, situated on the farm of a
man named Wheeler, located within mile
of DOwners Grove Station being somewhat
out of order, the son of Mr. Wheeler vol
unteered to descend into the depth, for the
purpose of righting matters. He was let
down. but had only reached the depth of
about fifty feet, when he let 90 the rope and
dropped to the bottom TO save the life of
his son, the father descended to aid him, but
on reaching the same point he also fell to
the bottom. A number of persons, who had
meanwhile collected about the opening, now
proposed to let down graphing irons, but a
young man named Carey Freeman, son of
Rev: A. d. Freeman, begged that he first be
allowed to descend and give what assistance
he might be able to render. He was allowed
to follow his incinations, and met with a
similar fate. Like his predecessors, the foul
air strangled him the moment he came within
! the deadly atmosphere. 1t was not until
the afternoon that the inanimate bodies
were recovered by means of graphing irons.

Now AND THEN.-Pending the late gene
raj election in this State it viii be borne il
mind that aspirants FOG Office on the radical
side won many votes by assuring certain
persons WHO had lost property during the
war that if the Conservative party was
beaten an indemnity bin would be passed
lust as soon as the Legislature assembled.
Among a good many this bate was snapped
up in the twinkling OF an eye, and men who
hated tife radical party as they did the imp
of darkness, voted the radical ticket because
this promise was made. Well, the trick
won, and now the whole radical party is
backing down, simply because they know
that the passing of an indemnity bill would
shatter the very foundation of the already
poor credit Of the once solvent State of Ten
nessee, and that they, too, would have to
share in the general ruin They knew this
before the election, and played their cards
well. As evidence of the bill being thrown
aside, we copy a few lines from the radical
organ at Nashville, which always foreshad
ows the doings of the Legislature:
mere Is no prODaDlllIy OF the passage
of such measure by the present Legisla-
ture. Whatever opinion that body may have
Of the measure IN the abstract, there is a
decided unwillingness to burden the State
with new debts, at this time, for any pur-
pose not essential to the development of heI
material interests, and it Is highly improb-
able that new bonds will be put on the mar
ket to an extent which would depreciate all
| the bonds to twenty five or thirty cents on
/ the dollar. The measure would be suicidal
i would defeat its own object, for the re
/ ceiver of the indemnity bonds would be
taxed seventy-fve cents to obtain twenty five
cents in return. The bond holders of the
State may dismiss any apprehension Of fur

Nor So.-In his recent letter to the
Presidents of the various Railroads within
the State, Gov. Brownlow says that the
Mississippi Central road owes $50, 1863 40
interest on loans made by the State to said
company. We are assured by Genl R. P.
Nicely, vice president of the road that this
is a mistake. The Miss Central owes
nothing to the State or general Government,
and is as free, so to speak, as the wind. We

Mr. ROttS'S Let ter.

Everybody will read Mr.. BorTs'S letter,
nc course. 1t is singular that on the one
hand he should have to justify his act to
his Radical friends, while on the other Mr.
D,yIs's counsel are censured by some
nersons for allowing the name of such
man TO 90 upon his bond. AS part OF
the history of the times it has at least this
value. II shows that Mr.. BoTTs volunteer
cd in the matter, and also that Mr.. DAVIS
EXPRESSED his " acknowledgements for the
generosity" of Mr.. BOTTs-two points upon
which there have already been many words
wasted in this city.
Mr.. Boris says he offered himself as
one of Mr.. DAvIs's sureties because he
thought ait would have harmonizing
"in6uencc in restoring a better feeling
"among the disturbed and discordant ele
"ments of the State ,Chich ii has already
"done to Uery marked ertent." The fact
is as Mr.. Boris states it. There is much
better state of feeling among our people
than there was a week ago. But he is very
greatly mistaken in supposing las he seems
10 do, though we have some doubts as to
whether he intended his language to carry
the meaning it does,) that the same good
feeling would not exist if he had not be,
come one of the bondSmen.
Mr.. Boris makes good point as against
his Radical friends rs to the question Of
precedents. These same Radicals seem to
be afflicted with judicial blindness, or they
would see for themselves that all the I'M
constitutional and oppressive measures
which they have reSorted to for the humilla-
ton and degradation of the southern
States may one day return "to plague the
inventors" If they may impriSon men,
subvert State governments, override State
constitutions and statutes, and substitute
the will of silly majority for the organic
law OF the land, they at least have no rea-
son to hope that they will not be unlaw-
fully imprisoned, nor that their State go
yernments will not be overturned, nor that
their peculiar laws, constitutions, and Gus
toms. will not be treated with contempt,
whenever, as is likely to be the case any
day, the majority shall be opposed to them
