The recent disasters In switzerland.

The Recent DISASTERS IN CWlaACHA~nW'
Al official account of the terrible
disasters which have recently hap
pened in Switzerland, the losses from
which caa be counted by millions, has
been received from the American
Legation at the State Department at
Washington. BY fearful rainfall
which succeeded an unusually dry
season. much .af the Cantons OF Girl
sons Tessin. tie Valais. Glaris, and
St. Gall and Uri have, in consequence
thereof. been literally desolated by
foundations. The mountain rivulets
and cascades suddenly swelled to tor
rents, swept villages, hamlets, cattle,
roads, bridges, dikes, earth, and stone
al debris upon the fields below, which
are thus rendered forever hopeless
wastes. The appeal of the authorities
Of the Canton Of Tessin to their more
fortunate fellow countrymen officially
sets forth the effects of the storm, and
this description may be taken as APP
plicable, in greater or less extent,
to the other Cantons named:
"In the night of the 9th and 18th
of September, our Canton was struck
by frightful catastrophe. a volume
of water preeipitated itself as a del
uge into the valleys of the BleniO, OF
the Levantine, the Riviera. the YER
nasco and the Maggia. This scourge
was accompanied by the destruction
of buildings and by the fall of trees,
by earth and rock slides, in such
q manner as if all the elements had
combined to rival each other In the
work of devastation All the beau
tiful country that extends from Gior-
nico and Olivone to Blasca, unrecog
nizable to day, is nothing but a mass
of debris. Roads, bridges and dykes
are destroyed; houses, mills and sta
bles have been swept away; the rich
forests, the fertile fields and VINE
yards. but yesterday hourishlng, have
disappeared; cattle have persisted by
thousands; and that which adds to
the CONSERVATION is the loss OF
more than fifty persons, some sur
Drised In their sleep, and others the
tempting to rescue and assist the
drowning. Fathers and mothers of
families have been crushed under the
falling houses. and their bodies swept
off BY the rushing waters. The dlsas-
Ter surpasses all that Imagination can
picture. Thousands Of families have
been struck by the calamity, and
many of them have been reduced to
the last extremity = without roof,
without clothes, without bread. and
several deprived OF their fathers"
Appeals have been made to the be-
nevolent for aid to the despoiled
peasantry OF Switzerland, whose fore
sight could not have evaded the ter
rible blow which has fallen upon them,
and their cry of distress goes up not
only to their own countrzmen IN the
United States, but with equal force to
the benevolent among Americans and
residents here, of whatever origin or
nationality they may be.

nrotect the purity of its proceedings
cannot be doubted. and to whose DIS
erection but to that of the presiding
Judge shall be submitted the ques-
ton as to whether this act or the

The Judge says to the jurors, when
they separate during the progress
of a trial, Allow no one to
talk with you about this case,
and if any persists in doing
so, report him to the Court
for proper punishment" This
is restraining the freedom of speech,
and there is no warrant for it In the
Constitution; but it is right; and right
because the Judge is endeavoring to
preserve from corruption the trial by
Jury, which is much more necessary
than to save the modern liberty of
the press" Why should not the pen
Gil Of a prying reporter be stopped as
we'll as the tongue of a garrulous or
dishonest "lOdter," when they both
tend to accomplish the same mischief

fair, unbiased trial?

to his ruling, and that the Supreme

sustain him.
The s enterprise of newspapers,
the ambition of reporters to, furnish
news. the unhealthy demand OF the
public taste, and the indifference OF
editors and controlling men to every
thing but making money, is fast de-
stroying, in many of the leading papers
in the country, all regard for the
sacred privacy of home tiresldes, the
purity of mind and heart Of the
young and innocent, and all care for
the private reputation of other men.
Let any invasion of our courts Of JUS
tice be prevented as far as possible.
God knows there is enough about
them now to make one fear and
tremble. Do not add to the evils, the
interference of the newspapers with
iuries and witnesses.

LETTER FROM KENTUCKY.

MOkGANIOWHs 4AI pCSs % ASVDs
Editors Journal:
The great Presidential campaign is
ended, and we Republicans of Ken
lucky have mach to be thankful for.
Yet much remains to be done before
we can be relieved of Democratic
prescriptions. In viewing the battle
field it is worthy Of note that in al
counties where anything like an effort
was made by our party, large gains
were the result. In Ohio County the
Republican gain was 349, although
there we're, so far as | know, only four
Republican speeches made In the
county, and Notwithstanding the
Democrats increased their vote, yet
their majority was reduced two hun
bred and forty one votes. In Gray
son County few Republican speeches
were made, and the vote was increased
from 101 to 416, and the Democratic
majority reduced III. In Mullen
burg the Democrats made, during the
year, a multitude of speeches; yet
their majority was reduced ~ votes,
with but little effort on the part of
the Republicans. These examples
demonstrate that, with proper effort,
Kentucky may yet be redeemed. Even
in this county, where the Union men
have never surrendered, we increased
our majority "a votes.
We expect all friends of the GEN.
eral Government to aid us in all
legitimate ways. One way is for the
next Administration to see that none
but true and efficient Republicans
hold the Federal Offices in this State.
There is another evil that sorely
tests divers men, and that is the diff
| ficulty in many places of getting fair
trial before rebel iuries. The Judges,
perhaps, are generally meaningiy free
from the terrible prejudice that exists
against Kentucky Republicans, but
not so with juries. 1t seems to me
that Congress ought, in justice to US
and to the loyal people of the coun-
try, to give to all citizens of the
States the right to bring their suits
| la the District Court of the United
States; and when sued in State S
| Court. the right to have the case
transferred to the United States
Court. This, l think, would be
clearly constitutional, and be no.
thing more than an act Of justice.
We are prosecuted and hunted
down because we are true to the
Government. Then surely it ought to
hear our complaints and redress our
wrongs, and many Northern citizens
would be greatly benefited by ex;
tending the jurisdiction of the United
States Courts. The act might be
made applicable only to such States
as disregard the Civil Rights Bill, the
Fourteenth Amendment, or some
other Act of Congress. On behalf of
the loyal citizens of this State ap,
peal to the Republican journals and
| congressman of the North to give us
this right. A little help, and we car
help ourselves. If we cannot be sus-
tanned by the Government, most Of
us will. in self-defense, have to be
come Democrats, for then both par
ties will protect us.
Yours. &C., RADICAL.

HEADQ'Rs SEVENTH U. s. CAVALRY,
IN THE Field on WASHIrA RIVER,
November ., 1858.
MOTOR Gen. p II. Sheridan, Commanding
Department Of the Missouri:
GENERAL: On the morning of the
18th instant, this command, compris-
ing eleven companies of the Seventh
Cavalry, struck the trail of an Indian
war party, numbering about one hun
dred 1OO) warriors. The trail was
not ouite tWenty-four hours old, and
was first discovered near the point
where the Texas boundary line crosses
the Canadian River. The direction
was toward the southeast. The ground
being covered by over twelve inches
of snow, no difficulty was experienced
in following the trail. A vigorous
pursuit was at once instituted. Wag-
ons, tents, and all other impediments
to a rapid march were abandoned.
From daylight until 9 o'clock at night
the pursuit was unchecked. Horses
and men we're then allowed one hour
for refreshment, and1at 10 p. M. the
march was resumed and continued
until. l 30 A. NJ, when our Usage
trailers reported a village within less
than a mile from our advance.
The column was countermarched
and withdrawn to retired point, to
prevent discovery. After reconnoiter-
ing with all the officers of the com
mand the location of the village.
which was situated in a strip of heavy
timber, | divided the command into
four columns of nearly equal strength
the first consisting of three companies.
under Major Elliott, was to attack in
the timber from below the village
the second column, under Lieutenant
| Colonel Myers, was to move down the
Washita and attack in the timber
from above; Brevet Colonel Thomp-
son, in command of the third column
was to attack from the crest north OF
the village, while the fourth column
was to charge the village from the
crest overlooking it on the left bank
of the Washita.

1r BEas.--The New York World
after having written column after
column to bolster up the lie that
Grant is a drunkard, and devoted
its energies for weeks and months
to show that he was no General,
begs and whines that Union men
will not keep it before the people
that Seymour is of a family several
members of whom have become lu-
matte. that Seymour aided and abet-
ted the New York riot; that Sey-
mour was in secret correspondence
with the confederate authorities at
Richmond; and that Seymour new
er had but one single spasm OflOy-
atty in his life. and that was when
he feared for his own property.
These things hurt, and the New
York World begs. Like the Con-
federacy, it wants Seymour to be
let alone. The World should con-
sole itself with the reflection that
Seymour can have as quiet life as
he chooses after the ideas of No
vember. His public days will then
be over GAINESVILLE Courier.

The MOB IN GEoRGIA.-Our'spe-
cial dispatches give an account ola
bloody assault upon a Republican
meeting at Camilla, Ca, by the Ku-
Klux Democracy, which resulted in
the killing and wounding of fifty to
one hundred persons, including 35
negroes killed. The Republicans
were unarmed, and this fact was
known to the "brave'' Ku- -Klux.-
This occurrence was made the sub
ject of special message by Gov.
Bullock to the Legislature, in which
he asked that body to pass a reso-
luton asking the President for
military force to aid the civil au-
thorities in preserving the peace.
Such a resolution was offered, but
was promptly voted down.
We have also a copperhead &C.
count of the affair, which, for bare
faced lying, exceeds anything we
have seen Of late. The fellow who
sent the lie, however, is net a good
hand at that kind of business. He
did not see the Importance of keep
ing within the range. Of probability.
This good liar appreciates. For
example, he says the colored men,
to the number of 450, went to the
meeting EARNED to the teeth. -
These were put to fight by fifty
armed white men. The remarkable
part of the story is that of the $50
colored men EARNED to the teeth"
rs to 100 were killed or wounded,
while it is only claimed that five Of
the "brave whites" were wounded,
and we venture to say that this is
an exaggeration. The negroes,
according to rebel accounts, are al
ways the aggressors but, some
way or other, the killed and woun-
ded are always on the side of the
poor negroes, while the rebels es.
cape without a scratch.
The reign of terror is increasing
at the South. Blair's revolutiona-
ry letter, indorsed by the New York
Convention, is bearing its natural
fruit. But this is only fereshad-
owing of the bloody work that
would follow an Endorsement of
Blair at the ballot-box in November.
