4th, They attempt to convict us of
falsehood in saying that our publication
was never molested by the military or
civil authorities, by resort to sneaking
evasion more cowardly than open lying.
A notice in the San Francisco Alta of
April 10th, 1865 that General Mellow
ell took possession of certain newspaper
Offices. All of those offices had been
sacked by the mob the day before, and
Gen. Mcdowell, under martial law,
COOK possession of the wrecks and after
wards restored them to their several
ownsrs without prohibiting a single
publication.
5th. We are charged with beiEg at
the head of reasonable organization
of which Quantren was the organizer.
This charge was made, ventilated and
exploded nearly year before our Office
WAS destroyed. We published the oath
and ritual of the society and challenged
any one to point out a single reasonable
object indicated by the same. No re
spectacle man ever attempted it, and
the military authorities. with all the
papers before them, could find no cause
for holding the organization as treason
able.
The balance of the slandsrous as
saults upon us relate to the San Franz.
cisco mob, of which Gov. Goodwin told
Gen. Sprague, two years ago, when that
matter was publicly alluded to. that he.
(Goodwin) was in San Francisco at the
time, and that he regarded it--and he
believed it was regarded by all candid
men as one of the most unprovoked
ana Infamous outrages ever committed.
The worthless wretch employed by
Sprague and Smith to assail private
character. boasts that he was one of
that mob, made up exclusively of the
bummers, thieves and pickpockets of
San Francisco.

And he lived pretty much by getting of loans,

For he couldn't make nothing but yellowish
cotton,
And little of that, and his fences were rotten,
And what little corn that lie had, that was

Dc.,ructi,n OF TerrapIn rover.

The Niagara Falls Gazette thus
notices the destruction of "rerrapIn
Tower" long one of the most conspicu-
Gus objects around the falls: During the
past fifty years millions of people from
every inhaOitable part of the globe have
seen the round, weather-beaten tower,
built upon the narrow ledge of rocks
upon the extreme bank OF the Horse
shoe Fall, and have enjoyed from It's
summit TIE magnificent view which it at-
fJrdeI of the 'umultuous rapids above
AMI the mighty rush of waters below.
They will learn with sincere regret that
the venerable mass of masonry has been
destroyed. The tower was built in 1928,
by Judge Porter, was 45 feet in height
and II feet in diameter ut its base. The
masonry was massive and its hardness
aud durability many have thought TO
have been abundantly demonstrai ed.
But standing in such an extremely ex-
posed position, subject at all times to
The action OF the spray and the fierce,
beating winds, and in the winter months
ice bound and frost-bitten, the wood and
stone have been gradually yielding 10 II Q
elements, and the structure was pro-
nounced unsafe last fall, and has been
closed TO the public ever since. Last
week preparations were made TO remove
the concern, in order to make room for a
new iron tower Large assures were
found to have opened in the masonry
and the mast in The center of the pile
was found to be only shell, the core
having almost disappeared from dry
rot. The first attempt to blow up the
tower was made Saturday noon, but
proved aborIive, the twenty-five pounds
OF powder buried in the base of the
structure only serving to demolish a por-
tion of the southwestern side. The ruins
were subsequently mined and the work
OF demolition completed on Monday. ,

ASHTABULA, OHIO, SATURDAY, JULY 5, 1873.

A CALIFORNIA WoNDER.-The San
Francisco Buiietin says that an import
ant change has taken place recently in
the Geysers. Old residents say that
there is now greater display of heat
steam, and Plutonic fury in them at
present, than has been known since 49,
40. | have been there twice before, but
never saw such general activity as a
present. Whether this is the result
of increased demand for fire in the re-
gion where the antipodes Of happiness
and comfort are supposed to reign /
cannot say. A real geyser is now shot
up from the Witches Cauldron to
height of about forty-two feet above the
surface. 1t would rise much higher but
that the overhanging banks of decom-
posed rocks against which it shoots up
prevent it. A portion of this bank is to
be removed, and as this is to be work
of some danger, owing to the steam from
the terrific heat of the black water in
the cauldron tits temperature is 2O2 de-
grees Fahreheit-that is so degrees
above the boiling point it is proposed
for short time to turn the cold stream
which flows down the Geyser canyon
into the cauldron, with the hope that its
terrific heat may be sufficiently mitiga-
ted so admit of the removal of the bank
of rocks mentioned. The large stream
boat blow bipe the diameter of which
is about equal to that of an ordinary
| fiour-barrel-now emits more dense
volume of steam than ever before, while
the devil steam whistle makes a noise
equally shrill and piercing as that which
Sits the ear when close to locomotive
as the whistle is being sounded. Warm
work is, in short going on all through the
Geyser canyon.
