morning, a fisherman discovered the little
steamer Helen Brooks floating down the
stream some ten miles above here, appa-
rently abandoned. He rowed out to the
steamer, made his rope fast, and pulled her
towards the bank, but before reaching it he
saw negro m sitting position asleep on
the lower deck, who, as soon as the boat
struck the bank, started up and leaped
ashore, and ran into the woods.
The fisherman then boarded the steamer,
and found traces of desperate struggle
having taken place, the deck being wet with
blood. He then came back to this city
and reported what he had done and seen.
Subsequently,, the steamer Grand Tower
from st. Louis, arrived here, bringing a

vice president, is, in al respects, a
man of whom the Republican party
may we'll be proud He has repre-
sented Massachusetts, in the United
States Senate for many years, in
which body he is known as one Of the
sblest defenders of the rights Of La
