BelknapS and Babcocks, and Shepherds

been knaves and rascalS in the party, but
for every Republican scalawag, there are a
hundred Democratic. There have been
abuses and offenses tor which the party,

CoRRECTIoN.-In our local column last
week we noticed the release from Jail of
certain parties convicted of riot at Port
Deposit, at the last term of Court Among
those We named, Mr.. John Strout; in this
we inadvertently did Mr.. Strout injustice
He was charged with participation in the
riot and placed on trial for the same, but
he was acquitted, proving on the trial that
he had no part in the riot. Consequently
he was not one of the party released from
Jail, never having been confined therein.
Mr.. Strout's reputation at home is excellent,
and his character above reproach. We
regret the mixing up of his name in this
matter.

UNPARALLELED DESTRUCTION OF LIFE
250,000 PEOPLE DROWNED BY TIDAL

A dispatch to the London Times from
Calcutta, on November Goth, says three
large islands, namely: Iattich, Sundeel

smaller islands, included i'll the Backer-

The Government Gazette says: Wherever
the storm wave passed, it is believed not a
third of the population survived. The
islands have barely one fourth of THEN
former inhabitants. The stencil from the
pLtrefying bodies is insufferable and a
general outbreak of cholera is hourly ex

THE ELECTIONS.
The elections passed off quietly and cred

are over, let the results be what they may,
we ought, like good citizens, to lay aside all
party considerations and work together for
