300 masked men rode into town. They hitched
tkeIr horses, posted guards to warn
away the citizens, went to the east door
OF the Jail, where they effected an entrance by
breaking in the doors with seoges. They then qul-
city, but with great determination, proceeded to
break in the iron door leading to the corr doris.
This took them some time, in all perhaps half an
hour. Soon, however, the door gave away under
the skill and labor of the avengers. Old man Mel
ling met them at the door OF his cell already dressed
and ready to go TO his doom. He WIS quickly
walked to the carriage, in which was rope. The
only remark that he made was, eco little slow,
gentlemen l am older than some of you" He was
taken to Oxford, and hanged Immediately.

SECOND DISPATCH.l
NEW ORLEANS, November 1Sth.-As soon as the
fire discovered, the steamer was headed Tor the
Louisiana shore. The boat struck the bank, and
lines were put out. Nearly all the passengers
rushed to the bank in their night clothes, carrying
their other clothes, and abandoning all baggage,
Jewels and money. Before the crew got safely on
the lines burned, and the vessel drifted into the
stream. Yollboring, the second engineer, stood to
his post until surrounded by fire, when, finding he
could do no MORE he jumped INTO the river and
swan ashore A portion of the crew were taken oil
in yawl. There was great excitement among
them. Two jumped into the river, and one Phil
Burdbarg, was drowned. When the news of the
disaster reached Natchez the steam tug o'Brien
started for the scene, and showed the steamer on
sand bar. Soon after the powder in the Parisots
magazine exploded. The steamer City OF Yazoo, OF
the line, en- route to Vicksburg, took the Pari-
sots passengers out OF the cane brake and brought
them to Natchez. The origin OF the fire is I'M
known. The boat had fifty-eight deck passengers
many of whom insisted smoking, and it is be-
ieved the fire the result of their carelessness
1t is feared that two three deck passengers per-
ished in the flames. The boats papers were lost
DisOrderly Michigan Miners.
NORWAY (Mich.) November 1Sth.-The strike at
the Chaplin mine, Iron Mountain has assumed an
alarming aspect. This afternoon the men at the
Ludington, another large mine adjoining the
Chaplin, turned out and joined the strikers At
meeting held subsequently, it was decided to wait
on the mine Superintendent in body, and ask him
to accede to the demands Of the men. A procession
was formed, with brass bands playing and flags n.y.
ing, and eight hundred to thousand men paraded
the streets until forced to disperse by the extreme
cold, as the band instruments had become frozen
up. Four hundred malcontents then approached
Stockbridge, of the Ludington
mine, and requested an answer TO their demand
He refused to yield. Stockbridge was then thrown
down, kicked and knocked around generally, during
which cries of Z" Kill him, hang him" etc, were
freely uttered. As SION as he recovered him
have anything they wanted that
they might all 20 back to work, and consider their
days work done at any reasonable hour. He was
then allowed to depart. The mob then started in
search of Superintendent Cady, of the Chaplin mine
but he had been informed of the threats made
against him, and had taken hasty departure. The
of Iron Mountain all closed their
places, and consequently there is no drunkenness
The local police force is poweress to do anything
toward preserving order or quieting any disturb
ances that may arise, and it is altogether probable
that one more companies of State militia Will be
ordered out to preserve the peace and protect prop
erty. The county Sheriff has been sent for, and will
arrive tomorrow morning.
THden's Hea III Again.
CLEVELAND. November lSth.-The latest contr-
button to literature in regard to Tiden's health
is given by Colonel Oliver Payne, an intimats
friend OF the sage Of Greystone. He says: He is
better now than year ago, but is still far from
state OF activity. You know he has what is called
dumb paralysis in the left side. His left is al
most useless, and hangs like empty coat sleeve.
There is sort of drop to his left eye and to the left
side of his mouth. He drools little at the mouth
not much, but enough to be noticed. He has no
control of his voice, and can hardly make himself
be heard, though at times he is much better in this
respect than at others. He can walk about little,
and Is not by any means helpless, though greatly
afflicted. He is a singular man. and it has always
been one Of his pecuiarties that he has such a
centratiOn of his thoughts some subject that if
you speak to him any other ne does not know
what you say. He may answer yes or 30 me
chanicaly but is all the time thinking Of something
else"
