Later advices confirm the report that Chil ean soldier weie permitted to sack the city, tlio result being, according to an eye witness, that there in not a single house left standing in a coin pletecoudition. Tho excuse given by the Chilean olllcors for tho outrage, was that they could not contiol their men. A leMcrjiJc Nlrup;l, Tho Timrs has u special detailing exciting events in Carroll county, Ark., hy which a thievish tramp and two citizens lost their lives. J. W.

One H. C. Paige, formerly agent for Wells Fargo ACo., at ltakor City, was a passenger, and as ho had in sisted on "taking a nap" iu tho "boot" wheio tho trcasuro was kept, suspi cion eenteied on him. After his ar rival in Portland, various circumstan ces strengthened this suspicion, and he has been arrested and lodged in jail. Thoro is littlo room for doubt as to his guilt, although ho had here tofoio sustained a fair character. The Agricultural College. The Stato Agricultural College at Corvallis is now free from debt, and thu grounds and buildings have re cently received substantial improve- inonl. A wing two stories high, 70x21 feet, has been added to the building. The general principles of agriculture aio taught in the Chemical Depart ment. The following special studies aro taught: Composition and analy sis of noils, manures, modes of drain ing, etc., method of prepaaiug farm buildings, stock raising, fruit culture, and as soon as posslblo tho pjiocial geology of Oregon.

A California pnpor brings up an interenting reminiscence showing with what gonorosity the American people renpond lo tho voice of human ity, when a great calamity has brought want and destitution upon thousands, ft nays: Immediately upon the nomii.ntion of William H. Knglish by the Cincin nati Con vusilion, the public were mado aware of the fact that ho wan the pon sennor of a bar'l only less capacious than that of the great defrauded, Sam uel J. Thono stoiiea of Mr. ICngllsh's wealth all emanated from Democrat ic sources, and the Democracy gener ally throughout tho country were felicitating themselves that a cam paign of extraordinary lavishncss of expenditure would be set on foot, Hut suddenly there came a hoarse whisper, an if from the very center of an empty barrel, that English wan rich but close. To eorroberate thin, ntorios of bin meanness were told. Chief among them wan the fact that when the great fire nearly swept Chi cago out of existence, English, al though everybody elso contributed liberally, would only give a single dol lar. Thin story wan denounced an a Itepublican lie, but tho cvidenco was so conclusive that English's friends were compelled to admit llio corn. If any further testimony were needed tho following, rcsuncctcd from tho tho Jlwitian llivcr Flay of October 19, 1871, would settle the matter: a runuo-si'iniTKii HKATiin. W. II.

Ninety-nino good and responsible men of California have promptly de termined to donato to you one cent each in currency, to partially reim burse you for your extravagant out lay. This will reduce your subscrip tion to a single cent, and it is to be hoped that, with this relief, tho finan cial shock with which your system was threatened, will be averted.

Tho Independent gives an account of tho accidental killing of Mr. Kicli aid Low, in Camas Valley, recently, by ltussoll Liggett. Mr. Liggott de scribes the aecidont as follows : Wo separated, agreeing to meet at a littlo gulch at the lower sido of tho prairio, 1 got thoro first, and ho was not thoro. 1 whistled for him and got no answer.

Thomas Tiguo, a workman on the new county build ing, yesterday afternoon fell from tlio lop story to the basemen', ,i distance of W) feet, and was instantly killed. It is supposed that ho was affected hy the extreme heat and lost his balance. Kenosha, Vi., July 1.3. Chancey Sehnenerzlor, a half crazy pauper in the poor houso near thin city, assault ed Waller last night wiih a knife, in flicting fatal wounds. They wero both over 70 vcarn of aire, and had various disputes. There wan a terri - ble struggle between them in the dark attic where they met. Waller had one eye cut out entirely and 118 gashes in his body. VntaiNiA, July 15. Privato infor mation has reached here of the assas sination of Chan. McLaughlin, near Marcata, Esmeralda county, on the night of tho 11th instant He had been to liellovuo and was returning, and was shot dead from hin horse at about 11 p. m. No arrests have been made, hut it is surmised that a man named Uraphy may have had a hand in the assassination. McLaughlin was formerly a resident here, and wan a largo owner in tho Black Hawk mine, and was concerned in trouble there formerly, in which two Uraphy's were killed. Hence the suspicion. Gi.en House, N. H. July 13 A ter rible accident, caused hy a drunken driver, occurred on the carriage road from Glen House to the summit of Mt.

One lady, Mrs Ira Christer, Allegan, Michigan, was killed, and five others, all Michigan people, injured. The driver is probably fatally hurt. His mistake was in driving recklessly round a curve. Memphis, July 14. Ahout two months ago Rufus Armstead was as sassinated near Horn Lake, Mississip pi, by Ed. Nelms, a negro, because Armstcad's brother, when Deputy Sheriff of Do Sola county, Mississippi, actingofficially, killed Nelms' brother, wno was a criminal, liic assassina tion has created great indignation. Nelms, tho murderer, was pursued to Tunica county bottoms. His mother with his brother Prenis Nelms and Tom Konkcy, accomplices, have been arrested. Last Saturday morning while Tom Konkey and Prcntis Nelms were being conveyed to Hernando, a body of masked men stopped tho offi cers having the prisoners in charge, and took possession of tho two men.

Iturning-: Oil. The oil regions of Pennsylvania have been lately visited by several storms, accompanied by lightning that set fire to the oil tanks. A Brad ford dispatch of tho 10th says: Solid shot wero lircd into tho sec ond burning tank at Custer City at 1 o'clock this morning to draw offthe oil and thereby prevent an overflow. However the work was commenced too late, and tho oil boiled over furi ously and set fire to a side tank which s now a sea of fire. There are three other tanks in the immediate vicini- Another thunder storm passed over tho city this morning, and considera ble damage was done by lightning. A rig near the center of tho city was struck and burned two oil tanks ono of 1200 barrels and another of COO. Great excitement prevails. People are out in forco fighting fires. The damago will bo very great. Almost another Deadly Atrrny. A Charleston dispatch of the 17th, says: Colonel Cash, surviving prin cipal in the tho recent duel, was be fore Judgo Meiver in tho Stato Su premo Court at Cheraw, last ovoning on a writ of habeas corpus, and was admitted to bail in $3,000. Considera ble oxcitemont was occasioned in Che raw, previous to hearing of tho appli cation, by an attack mado by a son of Colonel Cash upon Mr. Pegues, editor of tho Cheraw Sun, who had de nounced tho duel in his papor. Young Cash and his father had both drawn their pistols, tho latter avowing his intention to seo a fair fight, and Pe gues was only saved hy being thrust by his friends into an open doorway, wliero ho was locked up. No arrests. Some of tlio Democratic brothren havo been trying to get upa Hancock 'boom" in this county, but it doesn't seem to tako very well. They have organized a club or two, but tho exer cises woro not calculated to impress a hystandor with tho idea of oitfior use fulness or pleasure.

A man named Harris, called "Poker Jack" fell from a gang plank at The Dalles, the other day and was drowned. Farmers on the Columbia Slough have despaired of raising any crop on their low lands excepting, perhaps, wild hay. D. J. Malakkey, formerly U. 8. Marshal for Oregon, and lato com mission merchant of Portland, died last week. Amor broke into the jail at Santa Fee the night of July 3d and killed a Deputy Sheriff and a priponer named Harris, for an offense not known. Farmers on the bottoms near the Columbia river arc beginning to go back and inspect their houses, scrub ing out and preparing to occupy them. Heavy rains have caused great damage to hay and other crops in the midlands of Warwickshire and Lie ecstcrshirc and other parts of the En glish provinces. Extensive rains have prevailed nearly all over Ireland during the past fortnight, and are beginning to excite serious apprehension in regard to the harvest. A dispatch from Portland, Maine, dated July 20th, says Gen. Neal Dow has written a letter accepting the nomination for tho Presidency by the National Prohibitory party. AN earthquake at the island of St. George, one of the Azores group, re sulted in the formation of another is land about COO yards distant and about 1800 square yards in extent. Reports havo been received of heavy and damaging storms in Wis consin and Michigan, although the injury was confined chiefly to crops, which are represented as having suf fered great injury. Eleven thousand bogus medical diplomas have been issued by Buchan an's bogus college at Philadelphia, many ot them antidated, and tho list will be published with directions how to detect fraud. They were so'd at five dollars apiece. The Chilians captured Arica in t: tlnee hours fight, and the city was then sacked and almost destroyed by the soldiers over whom the officers say they had no control. Fortun ately foreign men of war in tho har bor had taken many families on board. A whirlwind swept over the soutlr eastern portion of Hanover, N. H., on the lGlh, lifting a couple of residences and some barns from their founda tions and completely wrecking them. Hoofs wero torn off, chimneys leveled, trees uprooted and fences prostrated. Two men were severely injured. Judcie Stephen T. Loqan died at Springfield on the 17th, in his 81st year. He has resided there since the year 1832, and was one of the most prominent lawyers of Illinois in early days, being onco a partner of Abra ham Lincoln. He served four terms in the State Legislature ; was a mem ber of the Constitutional Convention of 1S17, and was twico elected judge, resigning each time. Senator Hoar says : "I was ono of tho committee who investigated tho Credit Mobilicr, and wrote the greater part of tho report of iho com mittco known as the Wilson com mittee There was nothing in the transaction which in the least gavo mo reason to distrust General Gar field's absolute integrity. I expressed my opinion of the absolute honor and integrity of General Garfield in this matter years ago. No man, Demo crat or Republican, who ever served with Garfield does, I think, doubt that ho is absolutely, incorruptablo. Ho has been for years on tho com mittees of appropriation and ways and means, controlling tho expendi ture of millions upon millions, and policies that make and unmake great business interests." Says tho Now Yotk Times : "The situation in all important respects may bo regarded as simply this: Tho two parties go beforo the country on what they have done or (ailed to do, with the assurance on tho part of thu Republicans that all tho best ten dencies of tho party will bo promoted by tho election of its candidato, and with tlio probability on tho Democrat ic sido that the tendencies of that party toward crior iu doctrine and in practice will find no restraint from its candidato." The Republicans aro going to carry Connecticut noxt Fall, and tho next Legislature will, elect a Republican S,t r iter I.v 187(5 General Hancock was con siderably exercised over tho election of President, openly expressing his belief that Mr. Tilden had been elect ed. Further, according to a story by General "Baldy" Smith, General Han cock informed General Sherman that regardless of any thing Mr. Ferry, who was then acting an Vice President, might do in declaring tho election, if Congress declared that Mr. Tilden was elected, he beliovcd tho latter had tho right to tako the oath of office wherever he might bo ; and that after midnight of March 3d should Mr. Tilden issue any order rs President of the United States ho (Hancock) should obey him. General Hancock is located on Governor's Island in New York Bay, and is in closo prox imity to Mr. Tilden who will, no doubt be glad to aid the General in return for his willingness to acknowl edge his (Tilden's) authority in 1870. A prominent Republican from Vir ginia 8: yj that iu several congressioo. al districts of that State the feeling be tween sections of the Democracy i such that the members of either de clare that should any attempts bo made by their leaders looking toward a compromise they will support the Republican ticket. The Republican campaign will be formally opened in South Carolina on tho 27th inst. Tho first mass meeting is to be held at Blackville, Barnwell county. Other meetings are announced at Columbia, July 31st, and Florence, August 3d. The Chicago Tribune, says: Crop reports received by telegram and pub lished in our columns aro conflicting: in character, and vary according to the different localities from which they proceeded. In general, however the allowing is not so favorable for the wheat harvest as a few days ago. BOI21T. At Empire City, July 17th,'18SO, to the wife of Capt. S. F. Graves, a son. PAY UP.
