The follow ing is a partial account of the burn'iDg of the steamer Slonewnll, on the Mississippi river, October 27th : Another Pioneer Gone. From 1 the "Walla Walla Union we learn of the death of Col. Oaig, who came to Oregon in 1830. He was a trapper in the em ploy of the American Fur Company for fifteen years and after that settled atLap wia. lie rendered Gov.

Only a few weeks The boat caught fire about half-past six o'clock on Wednesday evening, about 45 miles above Cairo, in the Mississippi river, from a candle which a deck pas senger had near some hay, while playing cards. The steamer was run aground on a bar, the pilot -supposing the passengers could wade ashore. Unfortunately, at i since a party of 400 of these fanatics left the town ot JIalatschow, and proceeded to a neighboring wood to pray. A mad man named Wasiloff declared that he was the Son of God, and, after choosing j twelve apostles from the party called for j a numan sacrifice, rive victims were at once selected and nlaccd on a number the end of the bar was a slough, where a ! .1 waSons which had been piled up for large number were drowned.

' o " Farmers Can Ride and Plow, BY SECCRIXG ONE OF THE "GAY" PLOWS, Manufactured and sold for the very low price of $65 and ITS. TnE simplicity and practicability of this pew Plow eommends it favorably to the special notice of every farmer. It possesses a ueciaea. superiority over all other plows now in use. xae wheels are four feet in diameter, and run on the unplowcd land. Its entire construction is in no way complicated. The plow is managed in every manner with ease, and requires only two levers to be used in making any alteration. The supe riority of the "Gay" Plow will be clearly shown by the following certificate s We, the undersigned, citizens of Linn county, Oregon, having purchased and used upon our farms the "Gay" Plow, hereby certify that the same has given us entiresatisfaction. Its facility fur adjusting to suit the depth of furrow without nioving from the seat, is simple and easy. We like the plow for its draught, because the same is brought to bear directly upon the .plow-beam in stead of the carriage ; also, because it is strong and durable, all except the wood-work being con structed of wrousht iron no castings are used. The wheels running upon the solid land is an ad vantage over other gang-plows, in strikine off land and in plowing, not having to make the nec essary changes in the machinery, and the seat is always level, not throwing the driver forward or sideways as in other plows. Better work and more of it can be accomplished by the use of this Plow than by hand. We take pleasure in recommending the "Gay" Plow to our brother farmers, as one having no superior in Oregon. J. G.

The only officers of the boat known to be s saved are George Fulton, chief engineer; j ; Edward Fau,lkerson, pilot, and E. P. Watson, carpenter. Captain Scott was ! last seen floating On a spar. Men on j shore rode down the stream in hopes of finding him, bnt he was not to be found, j The scene aboard was heartrending in j the extreme. The flames spread with '; wonderful rapidity under the action of a j strong wind. Passengers in wild terror I crowded on the forecastle until they i were forced overboard en , masse and j drowned each other in desperate strug- j gles to free themselves. Others would j jump into tne water, whirl around in a strong current for a moment and then disappear. Mr. Fulton jumped over board and attempted to swim ashore, but coming in contact with a number of mules, swam to and climbed on the wheel of the boat. While there the steam pipe burst and the wheel revolved three times, but he clung to it and was finally taken ashore in a skiff. Charles Williams, a deck hand, says he tried to smother the fira when he first discovered it with blankets, but the wind blowcd so hard that he failed in bis efforts. Hose was also brought to. play on the fire, but the crowd of frenzied passengers rushed with such irresistible force on the men having it in charge that they were obliged to give it tip. Williams then threw overboard all of the hay and getting npon it drifted to the stem of the boat, where he encountered the boat's yawl contain six men and a woman. lie was taken in, "but having no oars could not stem the current. . 'Williams and the woman were put ashore, and the remaining men made another attempt to reach the steamer by using the seats of the yawl for paddles, bat the current was so strong that they were carried down stream and seen no more. Williams thinks not more than thirty persons were saved, but it is hoped that more of them reached the shore. and Manufacturer and Dealer in all kinds of FURNITURE & CABINET WARE, MATTRASSES, ETC., Under the "States Rights Democrat! office, T AKES PLEASURE IX INFORMING HER numerous patrons that she has on hand, and is in regular receipt of the Latest and Choicest Styles of Goods IN THE j Millinery Zjine I FIBST STREET, ALBAXY. oct24"68-7 ItlIl.ill.K, LADIES !

We find the following under date of Chicago, No vember 1st : A Tribune's Si evr York special says the heavy break down in gold is now known to be caused by the general be lief that Secretary Boutwell will in a very few weeks make a grand coup and at once return to specie- payments, thus forestalling the decisions of the Supreme Court, which will undoubtedly be that the legal tender act is unconstitutional. The deeision is expected about the end of the- year. This action of the Secretary will undoubtedly cause temporary dis tress through the country and create a panic in the produce and general merch andise markets, but as this step has to be taken some time, the present is consid ered the most convenient politically, better, indeed, than any other period not so remote from the Presidential election. Among the numerous 'financial matters in contemplation by Mr. Boutwell is one to replace the five twenty bonds about due,, by a large foreign loan. This has often been contradicted, but nevertheless, i$ now about agreed upon with the agents of foreign- bankers now in this country. ..When Riter von Lang was private sec retary of Baron von Bahler, Wurtem burg Minister at the Court of Vienna, he was one morning roused from sleep by the Baron's valet, who hastily informed bim that he was wanted by his excellency.

One of the celebrated physicians of Portland says he is cured of the Lung and Liver complaint, and says he owes his life to Dr. Murray's Lung and. Liver Balsam. Read what he says : ' Portland, May 21 , 1869. I haw tried Dr. J. W. Murray's Lung and Liver Balsam. I used it in my family with the best of success. I was sick for some months and used every remedy. I called in several physi cians, but they did me no good. . I exhausted every remedy known to the medical profession, and received no benefit. This Long and Liver Balsam cured me, and I do not hesitate to recom mend it to the public as a good and safe remedy to the pnblic and my friends. It is good, and those who know me, as many do in this State, as I have lived in many parts of it, know that I would not recommend them to nse a thing that bad no merit, because I am opposed to quack remedies.

The best and the most popular companies will then be those that prom ise only equity, and render all that they promise, and furnish the est security," with the most up right and judicious management." " By the Stock plan the full cash effect of the premium is immediately secured to the insured, the Company taking Att the risk.
