DESTRUCTION OF THE ALBEMARLE.
A Daring Exploit Recalled in an
AnnIicnilOn for u PcnsIOn.


a report from tho Senate Committee on Pom
sions, In tho case OF Daniel @. George, contains
an interesting story OF the blowing up OF tho
rebel ram Albcmarle, told by one OF tho par
Elephants In that remarkable exploit. IL forms
q part OF one OF tho aflldavlts In the case. Mfr.
George as coxswaln OF Lieutenant Walkers
boat, heard Cushing asking waikor for volun-
tcors for tho blowing up OF the ram Albomarlo
IN Plymouth Harbor, Pimlico Sound, and MIR.
George volunteered and was tho first volun-
tocr. ON the night OF October "a, 1854, the ex-
petition went into plymouth Harbor, passed q
hundred rebel picket boats, who were on the
lookout gs they ma 10, been IN H., ON tno haghr De-
and passed down and out the harbor, through
tho rebel picket boats to tho fleet, the rebels
thinking tho boat was one OF their own. They
saw them go alonsido a Federal vessel, and so
were on the lookout tho next night. They
put a battery OF artillery and q thousand mon
10 defend tho ram and posted lo1kouts TO give
tho alarm should any boat cross belt OF light
on the water, made by tho harbor lights. AS
ne crossed his belt they We're
answered, aYankees, damn YOU" Then came
q shower OF bullets, which rlddled tho gunwalo
OF the steam launch. The daring volunteers
now discovered the ram by tho fash OF her big
guns and mndo for her, passing around her
twice before they succeeded In jumping thelr
boat over the boom TINT surrounded hcr. Mr..
George and n chum named Uaden dropped the
torpedo Of 1856 pounds down under the RAM
Cushing gaye the order to reverse steam and
back over tho logs, which they were unable to
do. Cushing, finding they could not got out,
gave the order: spill hcr on, Dan; wo'll all go
TO hell together"
aDan pulled tho lanyard and the torpedo
opened seam twenty feet long and an inch
wide, and sunk the ram In two hours. The
attacking party.were blown Into the air, and all
hut Cushing and one other (Haden) were taken
prisoners. Mr.. George and the crow wero sur

have killed them, on tho spot had It not been

THE OREGON KEErRNS.

Our dispatches indicate a general VIC
tory for the Republicans in the Oregon
State election, held Monday, and seem
to plSoe.it beyond doubt that George,
their candidate for Congress, has been
returned by a substantial majority. We
confess our disappointment at this intel
!igenoe. We had presumed that the
course of the Democratic party in Con.
gress had so recommended it to the PEG.
pie OF the Pacific Coast as to have a
marked influence in the recent Oregon
election. We still believe that the action
of the Republican party on the Chinese
question must have driven many voters
from their ranks in Oregon. That such
would be the result was generally, al
most universally, admitted by the Re.
publican press. What counterbalancing
influences were at work we are unable to
state. That there were such seems evi.
dent, The election by the Republicans
OF their Congressman, however, is very
significant and suggestive. It means
this. that the Republicans are making a
formidable effort to secure as many Con-
sressmen as possible, in order to be in
the best fighting trim in the next ma
tional campaign. The Republican Ma
tional Committee, no doubt, aided George
in his fight materially-possibly made
it for him. And it means this, which is
something which Democrats have to
consider seriously, that the Republicans
are superior to them in organization and
discipline. The earlier the Democrats
recognize this fact, and get down to work
accordingly, the better it will be for
them. II we are to win in the next big
fight. we cannot afford to lose any points
IN the meanwhile.

HOW OUR MILLIONS GO.

Senator Logan put through the Senate
a bill last week appropriating SIG, 600,
900 to meet a deficiency in the Pension
Appropriation bill. Pensions will cost
the country 500, 900, 900 this year. Last
year they cost $50, 900, 900. According
to the admissions OF the late Commits.
sioner Bentley, the Courier Journal says,
not less than ten per cent of the pension
money is paid out to unmitigated frauds.
1t is more probable that twenty per cent
OF the disbursement is fraudulent; yet
the pension register is growing larger
every day.

THE Alta

--4&staaees-at ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
risk of death and have persisted by their
own acts when spurred on by hatred, re-
sentiment, or a sense of wounded honor,
are so numerous that they excite but
momentary attention. Before laying
aside the newspaper that contains many
an item of such sensational news, the
emotions stirred by them are at rest
again. The pain we feel for the loss OF
those who perish is properly measured
BY the worth of the victims. Bravado
and bravery are as far apart as the earth
and the heavens. Whoever stakes his
life upon a venture that is purely selfish
is better off if his fellows forget him
when he dies and any honor done
to his memory is an injury and an act OF
injustice to themselves. In the olden
times, when a mans country was thought
to be the first and supreme consideration,
it was sweet and proper for him to die
for his native land. Nothing in history
so moves the patriotic heart as the patri-
otto deeds of ancient and also of modern
times. Still, there is a faint of selfish
ness in deeds OF patriotism done in en-
pectatioa of the ~victor's wreath about
the forehead, or, in case Of death, eternal
fame. 1t is, besides, not so difficult or
so noble to do great deeds when inspired
by the sympathy and applause Of IN ex-
cited and admiring community. manly
act is glorious when purely unselhsh and
altogether for the good and safety of
others. Such was the act of brave
William Bennett and Dennis Callahan,
who ventured their lives in a canvas boat
upon the scalding waters OF the Alta to
rescue their fellow miners imprisoned at
the end of the drift. With no hope OF
reward or expectation Of glory to ami
mate them, save the satisfaction which
a great soul derives from the conscious
ness of duty performed, they descended
the dreadful shaft without buster OF
noise to risk their lives for others in the
poisonous atmosphere and the hot water
OF the lower levels. William Bennett, il
is said, made his will a few minutes be,
fore going below. These two plain mi
ners, but great men, as also Van Duzen
who explored the drift but returned, de
lirious from the effects of the heat anG
foul gases, should never be forgotten
Lesser men by scores are being kept il
memory by monuments in public place
for deeds that are dulled into i~nsignifi
canoe by comparison with the genuine
heroism OF these honest miners. Tn
work of the miner is full of hazard, a
best. As z class they are good citizen
and worthy men. The world owes t.
them a debt of gratitude that it too fire
quently declines to acknowledge and i
never willing to fully repay. The name
OF Bennett, Callahan and Van Duzel
should be enrolled with honorable men
ton on the record books of every miners
organization in the land and if the,
have families, these should be provided
for and made comfortable. This woult
be better than such a monument of irol
or brass as is reared over some publit
persons grave, possibly for the sordit
purposes Of the living, or, maybe, to per
petuate a name that would otherwis
soon be forgotten.

THE
HORSE SHOE CONCENTRATED

The Best, Most saving. and Most
Simply Constructed Concentra-
tor in n World-Its Capacity il.
Greater Than That of any Other
COncentratOr Requiring the Same
Space.
The only Concentrator that can be adjusted
to save every grade of sulphurets and free
gold, without any complicated machinery, and
with 10 part liable to wear or break.
This Concentrator is constructed In the form
of a horseshoe, as it's name indicates, and its
working is entirely on a new principle, differ
ent from any other Concentration now in use.
1t has no cranks, cogwheels, joints or pinions.
Its capacity is greater than that of any other
Concentr ltor requiring the same space now In
use. The loss Of metal is reduced to almost
nothing, while it concentrates the ore with a
perfection not hitherto attained by any other
machine known.
The low price of these concentrators, and
the fret that they can be easily transported on
light wagons, or even on the backs of mules,
over the toughest roads, places them within
the reach of all mill and m~ine-owners. And,
furthermore. they will pay handsomely IL all
kinds of ores, as they can be used as a rocker
for saving fine gold in gravel OF black sand, as
well as in the ores containing %sulphurets.
The Prices of the Different Sizes
are as Follows:
No. I, With a capacity of c~oncentrat-
ing 9 tons of quartz in "a hours $50 90

The wear of the shoe is of a slow, securing
nature, and the shoe will last to crnsh ten
times as much hard quartz as can be crushed
by the shoe of any other Crusher.
When ~decomposed or soft quartz, or other
soft vein-matter, is crushed, the upper portion
OF the Jaw is set forward, so as to allow a more
