MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 8.

In IT'S account of the recent democratic
convention in this city, General Mahone's
Washington organ says: MANY opinions
were expressed by the delegates as to the
cause of the crushing defeat of Lee. one
delegate said that Lee was the leader OF the
aristocrats and the friend of the Wall street
brokers against the people of Virginia. he
said further that the people, the farmers
and all who work for their living, were tired
of this "best people" business, and they
wer. determined to crush it out. Another
DELEGATE said that it was all nonsense about
the great debt wbica some claimed was due
to the Lees; that they had already been
paid more than was due them, and that one
of them, Filz Lee, had been railroaded IN
the Governors house By this same humbug.'
General Lee came very near being nomi-
mated last Saturday night. 1.-THE organ re-
ferred to, in it's opposition TO him, shall per-
sist in the line of attack as indicated by the
above until the 25tb, he will secure the nom

GEN. LoNGsrREET, in the August number
of the Century magazine, says nn attack up
on Burnside's army on the night OF the day
it WAS defeated at fredericksburg would
have been little better than madness; also,
that no sensible commander will allow his
troops strong drink upon going into battle
As Burnside's army was demoralized by lis
defeat and was making hasty and disor-
derly retreat across frai and insufficient
pontoon bridges on the night referred TO-
most every body who was at Fredericks'
burg on that occasion, except Gen. Long
street, thinks that an attack then would
have entirely destroyed that army. Re-
yarding the use of liquor for troops just 60
ing into an engagement, Gen. Longstreet
and Napoleon entirely disagree. Burns was
not a soldier, but he aptly expressed the
feeling of vast majority of soldiers in the
following lines:

PERILoUs FEAT.-The turbulent waters

navigated in cask yesterday, the perilous
feat being successfully accomplished by
two men. The voyagors were VIM. Potts
and George Hazlitt, two coopers, who were
employed in the same shop with Graham,
who made the initial trip about three weeks
ago. The barrel boat was ten feet long.
conical in form, and built of the best locust
slaves 1t was supplied with keel, rud-
der. screw wheel, and turret with glass
covered peep holes. About 800 pounds Of
sand ballast kept it right side up most OF
the time. The two men lay back to back
while passing through the more turbulent
waters, clingng to handles made fast TO the
sides of the cask. Each was likewise kept
on his own side Of the cask by means OF
canvas sling made fast to staples. The
start was made from the Maid of the Mist
landing, on the Canada side, at 4:25 p. m. A
rowboat towed the cask to point just above
the cantilever bridge, where it was turned
adrifE in the middle of the stream. The
novel craft was submerged about half the
time while passing through the rapids, but
while circuinscribing the outer circle OF the
whirlpool its occupants thrust their heads
through the opening, and Potts calmly
smoked cigar. A successful landing was
made at Queenstown, on the Canadian side,
five miles further down the river. The en-
tire voyage occupied ffty-6v minutes. The
feat was witnessed by no less than $4,000
spectators.

"The accident happened about eleven
o'clock at night when we were 1850 miles
from New York. The ladies had nearly all
retired, as had most Of the gentlemen. There
were only few persons On deck. 1 hap
pened to be on deck, and suddenly felt as if
something WAS going wrong with the ma.
chinery-an Undesirable feeling, as if the
screw had given way, and the engine was
going like lightning without any resistance
in the water. The sea was rather rough.
The shaft was broken, but it was not known
at first whether it had run a hole into the
bottom of the ship or not. and the small
boats were all prepared in case of need.
We drifted around from eleven o'clock
that night and all through the next
day During that day fog prevailed
until about 6. p. m, when it lifted
for about half an hour. Daring that time
we saw steamer off Oh the horizon. We
fired gun and put up signals, and the
steamer altered her course and bore right
down on US. The vessel proved TO be the
Venetian. Without any delay whatever
the Venetian turned around and our second

both vessels burned signals showing their
names, TO attract the attention Of a passing
steamer, supposed by her size to be Gu
harder, evidently bound for Boston. All
that was desired was that the two vessels
should be reported in Boston. Notwith-
standing that the signals were burned four
times The steamer kept on her way without
