About 5 o'clock, P. Mm of that day, I was sitting at my door, when I heard the report of firearms, and on looking up Main I saw my son Theodore fall at Main and Chapel. In.an instant, I heard 20 or 30 shots fired in rapid succession, so quick as to seem a volley. The shots were fired from the north side of Main. My son was on the south side of Main when he fell. I could see him distinctly he raised his head and was in a reclining position, when I saw a man run from the north side of Main to within 10 or 12 feet of my son and deliberately shoot at my son three times with a revolver, when my son fell buck and did not move again. The man ran at once back to Quinn's row, whence he came. This all occurred in a moments."

I saw he was dead, for he did not move after the man fired his pistol at him. At this time thei were but few persons in the street and no disturbance but the firing above-named.

jlST The author of the convention editorial in the Review is writhing like a wounded worm beneath our gentle castigations. His sensitiveness is excessive, even greater than his intellect. He seems perfectly thunderstruck that we, in our humble capacity should dare to hint at, or utter a word" about one so mighty in all the elements of manhood as himself. He seems to regard himself as a perfect "Collossus in argument, a Cxsar in prowess, a Hercules

a Napoleon in intellect."

But after all must confess himself a subrosa, or rather a tool of Count, alias Charley Bowen. Oh wondrous prsumption, to call in question any thing that he should^ say.

But like his great prototype, the Cour.t, he plunges directly into personalities, and attacks our wardrobe. Truly may he be styled the Knight of the Dickey. Indeed he could not retain his present office under Mr. Bowen, unless he indulged freely in personalities, learned criticisms, on shirt collars, Dickeys, &c. &c., with a manfest and constantly increasing tendency to the dirty and vulgar. This Knight of the Dickey complains of our "small ideas. Now really and in truth, we would dislike to cover a very small subject with a large idea nor would we attempt to infuse into little craniums capacious thoughts, lest an explosion might take place, disastrous in its consequences.

The Knight should remember that this is a free country, where freedom of press and of Bpeech is protected, and that we have equally as good aright to speak of him and his party as doughfaces, as he has to term us graded stock and if he does'nt like the term, let him stand from under. If any man can become a sub-writer for the Review on its present platform, without exhibiting in their most striking characteristics, all the elements of genuine, full-blood-ed doughfaceism, then will we strike our colors. As to the bullying talk of the Knight, we fear it about as much as we do the croaking of the frog.

Republican Meeting at Middietown. On Saturday last the Republican American party held a meeting at Middletown Wayne township, and were addressed by

Messrs.

On the same day the old line anti-Amer ican party held a meeting at the School House near Esq. Sandford Gray'8 and the whole crowd then and there assembled, "were sitting on a rail." Capt. Manson, who had gone seven miles to address,them, wisely conduded that tliraadience was rather slim, and declined the feaiar of speaking. llw sensible ones, of the. ol& liners ate getting tired of! their miseifable-princi-ples, and the still more^ miserable dema-goguet-who advocate them, and are plac^ ui uuosJPg thetinder the banner of Free-

Defeat is alTpfdj stamped upon their banners, and the very idea of defeat has wrought madness on the brain. In the language of the great Webster, "they are like, a strong man in a morass, the more they struggle the deeper they sink." Their principles, like a mountain weight are crushing them to earth.— No man, or set of men, who stand upon a platform which repudiates constitutional right, sacred compacts, equal justice, and the principles of American freedom, can hope for permanent succcss in this glorious Union. There will swell up from the masses of intelligent American citizens a voice of condemnation like the voice of many waters, which will consign them to eternal oblivion. *T"

The American party held another meeting at Ladoga on Tuesday last, and were addressed in his usually able and eloquent manner, by JAS. WILSON, Esq.

Writh the true and generous spirit of American liberty glowing in their hearts, they seek to inspire others with the same glorious devotion to our country.

Steamboat Superior, LAKE MICHIGAN, Aug. 1, '55.

MR. EDITOR—Supposing that a correspondence in reference to this part of the country might be interesting to your read

I have concluded to give you occasionally a few items of traveling observations. Being desirous on account of my health, to rusticate during the hot weather of August, I left Waveland, July 23d, bound for "Superior," Douglas Co. Wisconsin, which is situated on the western extremity of Lake Superior, at the mouth of the St. Louis River.

I reached Crawfordsville by noon, expecting to have to lie over until next morn--but the old proverb that "it is an ill wind that blows good to no one," was illustrated in my favor by the detention of the cars, which enabled me to reach Lafayette for tea, and Chicago next morning for breakfast. The ride to the Lake was quite pleasant, except that sleep had to seek other quarters, at least for one night.

To the stranger Chicago presents much that is interesting. It is undoubtedly a great commercial mart, and is growing quite rapidly, both in wealth and iniquity.

single illustration will show the rise of real estate: some twenty years since an hostler purchased a lot in the business part of the city for 81,800, which he sold a few days since for 890,000, for-a Hotel «ite,-r This is but one of a thousand ^stances where fortunes have U*n vnade by

whl(& irons to the eastern part of Lake Huron, I took passage in thfe 'Keystone State" for Milwaukie, after remaining in Chicago fome 12 honrs. We left the pier about 9 o'clock P. M., and having no rest the night before, I resigned myself to sleep— and was captive at will until I found myself next morning at the Milwaukie pier, the passengers and omnibusses all having left me. Slowly yet surely, I made my way to the Walker House, where I found every accommodation the

needs to

make him comfortable. The proprietors and waiters were, polite and obliging, all moving to the 'tune of two dollars a day.'

The Female College held its Commencment the day I arrived,. which 1 had the pleasure of attending. I heard the Graduating Class examined in two studies, 'Philosophy of History' and 'Butler's Analogy,' in which they wen laurels of praise, both for themselves and their "Alma Mater.''— This Institution isf under the care of Miss MARY MORTIMER, assisted by an efficient corpse of teachers.' Long may the Institution send out young ladies as well prepared to battle for the right as the four seemed to be who received the diplomas of Graduation. Having nearly a week to remain in" the city, I made good use of it in gathering knowledge in reference to its location, growth, business, etc. Milwaukie is decidedly a pretty City. She lies principally in the Yalley formed by the bluffs bordering, the Milwaukie and Menome rivers, which unite in the City, occupying a vast amphitheatre with the hills on the North, West, and South, and the Lake on the East. But she is not to be restrained by nature's barriers she is saying to the Lake, "thus far shalt thou come and no farther," and is marching right over the high bluffs. When they are

Not that she is noted for riot, and debauchery, although has ner share, of these. The evil is general—on every corner you may see the hydra beaded monster, with its fiery eyes, ready to bite and devour. My humble prayer for Milwaukie that she may, e're it be too late to save the rising generation, have a good temperance law, and see that it is carried out.— The foreign population is also strong in the majority. The census just taken show a population of about 19,500 foreigners, and 11,500 American born. The only hope for the American party is found in the uncertain influence of the German population, which is here as in many other places, at sword points with the Irish.— But on the liquor question, they are to their death against aliquor law. Yet the friends of temperance and order hops to see the day when the City government will be such as an American'can boast of, and temperance rule in all parts of the City. So much for Milwaukie.
