What patriot will not shrink from cOntribu-
ting to such a catastrophe That the Amer
lean people are equal TO any new trial, how
eyer terrible that the apostate's appeal to
force, though backed by the whole rebel ar
my, would end in his own overthrow, and
their perpetual disfranchisement, NAV be
confidently anticipated; but when, by the
cordial and united performance of plain
and peaceful duty at tile ballot box in No
vember, you can avoid further bloodshed,
assist the great work of reconstruction, and
perpetuate Republican ascendency, few
words OF ours should be required to arouse
you to an instant apprehension of your
country's peril and your own solemn obli-
cations. When we can secure egerything
by an intelligent and discriminating exer-
else of theiballot, why shall we encourage
the men who possess the, confidence of no
party, and have thousand times confessed
that they deserved the seyerest puni shment
for their crimesq There is not one com
manding interest that is not deeply concern
ed in the triumph of the Republican party
IN the coming elections. Every owner Of
public securities, national or State; eyery
railroad corporation. every bank, every saw
ings institution, every manufacturer, every
mechanic and laborer with q greenback IN
his pocket, would instantly feel the defeat
OF that party in the depreciation Of their
properly, and in the decline Of their busi-
s ness. Bear in mind that all who are inter
ested in the defeat of reconstruction and the
Republican party are also interested in the
overthrow Of the national credit. The re-

proof Of their malignant and dangerous
purposes. That daring sympathizer. as if

Tho Surratts.

Recent events have brought before the
public mind afresh the incidents con-
nected with the late national tragedy,
and invested with additional interest all
that can be CLEANED in relation to the
family of him who has been brought to
this country charged with having been
an accomplic' "a the assassination Of
President ' .coln. The records of the
Maryl, institute inform US that the
SUI IS were among the earliest names
.sns colony Of Maryland. During the
administration Of Lord Baltimore,
tempted by the liberal offers Of the
royal governor, they e~migrated from
England where they had been residing
for some years as French Catholics, and
scattered themselves as farmers through
the counties of Ann Arundel and CAL
vert, in that province. One Of the de-
scendants Of this family-the father Of
John II. Surratt-seems to have been
given to rowing, and after farming in
various portions Of Charles and Prince
Georges counties, occasionally selling
his slaves at Alexandria, he moved to
the vicinity Of Washington, in order, it
is said, "to give his wife spiritual facili-
ties" but probably for the sake of the
profits Of q small cross-road tavern
which he connected with his farm at
Surrattsville. The mother, who was a
jealous Catholic, had destined both her
boys for the priesthood. One of them,
however, preferring the sword to the
cowl, after making himself conspicuous
in the John Brown raid, finally joined
the rebel army. From this point all
traces of him had been lost. Accord
ing to the popular gossip Of the neigh
borhood, Mrs. Surratt mingled in good
country society, was especially famous
for her excellent housekeeping, and ex-
celled in the manufacture Of what is
known in that part of the country MS
"Maryland biscuit" Upon the death of
her husband her son John took care of
her interest. he was a fair scholar, and
wrote neat composition. A thorough
Southerner, he was the slave of local
traditions and prejudices, which warped
o mind never well balanced or strong.
By those who knew him at this time he
10 represented as physically wiry; and
too vain not to fight when incensed, but
the general estimate Of his character
seems to have been, that II he had been
placed in any thriving, energetic CON-
muuity he would have settled down to
an extremely commonplace man. How
far this latter estimate was correct the
evidence that will probably be ELECTED
within the next few weeks will deter
mine. Commonplace or not, his name
10 destined to an unenviable notoriety
in the future.

A Snake In a weman's Stomach.

From tho AnamoaA Eureka, March IL
The wife Of Mr.. Parker, who recently
purchased an interest in the Anamosa
stone quarry, has been made cognizant
of the terrible truth that she has within
her stomach q living snake or lizard.
For the past FIVE years she has suffered
almost everything possible for a human
being, and vas supposed to be gradu-
ally dying with consumption. Some
two weeks since q German physician
from Lisbon, Linn county, being in
town, was requested to make an exam
ination into her case to see if any rem
edy could be devised to relieve her in
tense sufferings. The physician visited
her and became at once satisfied that
there was a living animal within her
stomach. On last Thursday the starva-
ton process was begun and continued
for Ave days, little or no nourishment
being taken. During this time the ami
NAL repeatedly moved upward and into
the throat, producing terrible and al
most fatal s~traugulation, and making 1t
necessary to administer salt to drive it
downward. At such times the lower
part Of tho throat would be pressed out
ward in a most percepsible and revolving
manner.
On Monday last the attempt was made
to d:slodge the loathIome creature By
placing a pan Of heated milk near the
patients mouth and permitting her to
inhale the steam. A ponltice of onions
and garlic was applied to the stomach
but, through Misunderstanding, the on
ions were cooked and their strength
thereby mostly destroyed. The expert
msut, however, was tried, but the ami
NAL moved up only a short distance, a,
green slime being emitted from the stom-
ach. The patient is greatly Frustrated
BY her abstinence and terrible suffering,
but another effort will soon be made to
relieve her, although it seems almost
certain that the animal, whatever it is,
has grown so large as to make its egress
through the throst impossible. We I'M
derstaud that the patient believes her
tormentor to be q snake!
The case is attracting great interest
and any new developments will be care
fully noted for the benefit Of our read

Executive Committee.

THE chigson excitement is not in de-
cadence. Mr.. Tilbury Fox has sent to
the London Lancet some specimens OF
fungus which be found in large quanti-
ties on and in connection with change
of structure in false hair. He calls it
zoogleG ~edpllorumI, which, with grega-
rines, ought certainly to settle tho fate
of the waterfalls. On the other hand,
a consulting chemist in Detroit has eI-
amined three samples Of manufactured
hair-Freuch, German and American
and found them infested with nothing.
He con~so,ingly says:
GAS regards the terrible picture drawn
by the London Professor of our taking
these existences into our system, he for
gets to say that if We do swallow "
slouse,' as revolving as it is to our sense
of refinement, il will not develop in our
system or produce any disease. In fact
be has but to surn his microscope upon
the coarser articles Of brown sugar, and
his next article will be more horror
stricken than the n on the subject Of
'gregarines.'"

Terrible s,samboat DIss.ter.

lTslegrsphie Cor. Cincinnati Commerciai.J
CAIRO, March l7-p. u.-The steamer
N. Longworth has justarrived from New
Orleans. She has the crew of the Mer-
curry, bound for Louisville. Captain
George Dickerson furnishes the follow
ing particulars Of the sinking of the
Mercury:
On March 10, at 10 p. NJ, the night
was dark or smoky, and the pilot mis-
took the channel and went into the Ar
kansas Cutoff, instead Of continuing
down White river. The mistake was
soon discovered and the boat returned,
but struck a snag in tho Cutoff, sinking
in two minutes almost to the cabin
floor on one side, and nearly to the hur-
ricane deck on the other.
Between twenty and twenty-five lives
we're lost, all deck passengers, except
two. An old gentleman, unknown, and
the third cook jumped from the hurri-
can't deck and were drowned. Seven
persons floated off on cotton bales, lodg-
ing in u drift pile where the wind blew
a tree on them, killing four. a portion
of the crew, as usual, ran off with the
yawl. leaving the remainder to their
fate. Captain Dickerson constructed a
raft Of spars, derricks and doors to res
cue the women and children, Of whom
a great number were on board. After
placing the ladies on it, the passengers
jumped on it too, sinking it ten inches
below the surface of the water, The
Captain compelled the mon to so back
to the Mercury, but kept the raft made
fast until it was evident the boat would
not settle deeper. Two hundred and
fifteen mules were on board, only eight
or ten of which were saved.
The steamer George d. Palmer ar
rived soon afterward, taking off the sur
viyors. Captain Dickerson also placed
his pantry ware and other things recor-
cred from the wreck on board, but the
crew Of the Palmer ~plundered the whole
cabin, taking bed-clothing and every
thing of value. After leaving the wreck,
the crew Of the Palmer plundered the
survivors baggage, taking even Captain
Dickerson's wife's under-clothing, and
boots and other things from those who
lost their trunks. Captain Danley and
Clerk Lanahau, Of the Palmer, made no
effort to restrain the crew from plunder=
ing, and the carpenter Of the Palmer
fourished An adze and threatened to kill
persons who made charges against the
crew.
Captain Danley refused TO surrender
the articles which Captain Dickerson
had saved from the wreck, saying he
"wished he had never went near the
Cd id boat, as he had not got half
enough to pay him for his lost time"
The clerk Of the Mercury was left on the
Palmer to endeavor to gain possession
of the articles. The Mercury had II
splendid cargo of freight. Her bills
would have amounted to $4,000. She
had l,4oo bales of cotton for reshipment
to New Orleans, and a fine trip Of as
sorted freight for Cairo and the Ohio
river.

A FR1GHrPuL MEXICAN ArRoc1rY.
Deliberate Execution of Ono Hundred
and TWenty.three French Prisoner.

From the Brownsville Ranchero. Feb. 81
We published, yesterday, the order OF
General Mariana Escobedo, directing
that all the prisoners captured at San
Jacinto Rancho on the first day Of this
month, not born in Mexico, be put to
death. This order was executed on the
Sd inst, at seven o'clock in the evening;
or, rather, the execution of the n
hundred and twenty-three prisoners WAS
finished at that hour. One, by one, the
prisoners were shot, and each bloody
body was left as it fell for the next vic
tim in order to look upon. We are in
formed that but few Of the doomed vic
tins faltered ; and whom marched out
for execution most of them sang the
Marsellsise hymn. We have been prom
ised the full particulars of this awful
massacre, and when received they will
be laid before the public, in order to
complete the black and damning record.
1t has long been the custom in Next
co to shoot commissioned officers cap
tured in battle, but this the first in
stance in many years where any consid-
cradle number of private soldier prison.
ers have been sentenced to death and
executed. During all the wars, the
Mexican leaders have regarded the pri-
vate soldier as an irresponsible instru-
ment in the hands of the conscripting
commissioned officers. Then why, let
US ask, have they at this time, dragged
one hundred and twenty-three soldiers
to the eIecutioner's block? There is
but one answer to be given. These SOL
diers were foreigners. They were only
F%renchmen, and when disarmed, were
heroically put to death. The %perpetra-
tors Of this atrocity were peridious, and
treacherous %assassins.

TIE CELEBRATION TO-DAY, by the Odd
Fellows Of Carson, on the occasion Of
the Forty-Eighth Anniversary Of the es-
tablishment Of the Order as an indie
pendent American organization, will
commence at I! o'clock in the Presby-
terrain Church, by the reading Of the
proclamation of the highest officer in
the United States, and that Of the high
est officer of the Order in this State ; to
be followed by singing, the reading off
Poem, and an Grafton by Col. R. II.
Taylor Of Virginia. These exercises are
free, and the public are invited to attend.
The reputation Of tho orator indicates
that this occasion will be one of more
than ordinary interest. After the exer-
cises at the Church there will be given
q Ball, in the Pavilion, by the members
Of the Order, for the benefit of the Lii
brary Fund. The occasion and the OBJ
ject ought to call out the people gener-
ally. The celebration of this day is
general among the Odd Fellows through
out the United StAtss.-Cdr,on Appeal,
this morning.
