er Daniel Mcdonald plying On the Mis-
sippi between Prairie du Chen and
st Louis blew up on the night of the
18th inst, and the hull Immediately
sank in 16 feet Of water. The Ala
makee transfer boat between Prairie
du Chen and McGregor was Fortunate
" at the landing at North McGregor,
and Immediately went to the assistance
of the sufferers and picked up eight of
the crew, FIVE badly wounded, two Of
whom have since died. AS near as
can be ascertained there must haYe
been 35 persons on board at the time of
the explosion. It is positively known
that six have been killed outright and
about twelve seriously wounded. The
accident is supposed to have occurred
from the inferiority of the boiler.

zens of Ozaukee County is addressed to
the Milwaukee NeWs, in which it is
stated that if an election was held to-
morrow it is extremely doubtful wheth-
er Grant, Greedy, or those who would
stay away from the polls would be in a
majority. This is significant admis-
sion coming from county which has
given on several occasions 1000 Dem
ocratic majority. IF this is true of
Democratic strongholds generally,
where will Greeley and Brown be on
election day.
SENATOR SUMNER is determined not
to be suited. He told the correspon-
dent of newspaper, few days ago,
that he is opposed to the reelection of
Grant, while if Greeley is indorsed at
Baltimore he will not support him.
But if the Democratic Convention
should nominate Charles T. Adams or
any other man but Greeley, and accept
the Cincinnati platform, then he might
be induced to enter the canvass.
The Republican caucus of the New
Hampshire Legislature has nominated
Hon. Bainbridge Wadleigh for United
States Senator, as Mr.. Patterson's sue
cessor. He is comparatively a new man
In national politics, but has for some
years bee prominent lawyer of that
State, and an influential member of the
Legislature.
