rr The steamer Keystone Stkto was burned at the Florence Landing, on the Illinois river, a few days ago, while taking on wood. Four or five persons arc said to have been burned. The cxcitement was intense many jumped oveiboard with their children in their arms. All of the passengers were sound a sleep when the alarm wis given, consequently but little was saved.

The cargo was principally corn, 500 barrels of whiskey. Boat and freight a total loss.

The Columbus Eiot.

A few days ago a riot occurred at Columbus^ in which several persons were used pretty roughly. Below we give the true origin of the affray, taken from the Ohio State Journal, which clears the American party of the charges made by the Old-Line press

There is a large" German population in this city, among them many who unfortunately have brought with them from their Fatherland their religious political feuds and jealousies. The most bitter feeling exists between the Catholics and the Freemen, who, wo believe, refuse to acknowledge all restraining laws, and even doubt the existence of a Supreme Being. Monday last appears to have been a general holiday among the Germans, and several parties paraded the streets, previous to j^oing to the country upon pic-nic excursions. Among these parties were two rival bands of Turners composed principally of Freemen.— One band paraded with the German military company carrying the American flag, and the other band paraded by themselves, carrying a Red flag, with a black border, inscribed with yellow letters.

The rival company of Turners who refused to participate in the festivities of the day with their countrymen, but who went with the military, circulated a re port that the flag was the Rod Republi can Flag of Germany, and that the colors, red, black and yellow, betokened revolution. This report having gained credence in the mind of a very worthy, but mis—:j

say a lew words in reference to it.—

seems that the reservoir that has been destroyed is not considered especially obnoxious to persons living in the immediate vicinity, but that the persons engaged in this unlawful act are from a distance thus showing that it is a case unwarrantable destruction, from the very love of wrong doing. What readers the act of these outlaws more aggravated, is that they throw odium upon the people living in the vicinity of the reservoir, who pledged themselves to bo reconciled with the grievance, they complained of before, on the condition that the Company would remove the timber from the reservoir, which condition has been complied with at an expense of $10,000 or more. This

The State is liable to the Company for damages, if we rightly understand it, in any case of loss sustained from a mob or riot, and in this case she is particularly bound in honor to protect those who in the darkest hour of our existence as a Commonwealth, when bankruptcy was hovering over us as the dense cloud that harbingers the earthquake and threatening to blot out forever the credit and fair fame of our State, came to our aid, and saved us from destruction and ruin that was about to overwhelm us. They took the canal off the hands of the State, and as a return, assumed, we believe, a moiety of the debt, which was dragging us down.

In view of these things, does not this outrage demand speedy expiation? Every honest and right thinking man, must assent to this at once. The peo-

And we belicvo that his Excellency is the very man who will do his whole duty in this matter. His promptness in uttering his Proc'amation, which wo published a few days ago, warrant us in believing that ho will so act, that, if possible, speedy justice may over tajce those engaged in the act. Every good and law respecting citizen should aid in bringing about this result, and wo belie vo they will do it, every paper in the State that has spoken on the subject denouneo tho act, and ask that those, concerned in it, may be purnished for their crime.

Skirmishing against them under such circumstances was, of course out of the question, so the assaulting party, about five hundred strong, rushed at once upon the pits with the bayonet. They received two or three murderous volleys as they ran in, but still kept on till they had closed with and surrounded the trenches. Then a fearful fight took place quarter was neither asked nor given, and after a short struggle, the enemy's riflemen were all bayoneted, with the exception of two or three, who fled back to an unfinished advanced work, which the Russians were throwing up. Into this the French, elated with their success, instantly followed, and, though they encountered a desperate resistance and sustained a severe loss, succeeded at last in effecting their entrance at two or three points. Once in, their way was easy.—A panic seemed to strike the enemy, who fled in every direction. Numbers fell under the French musketry as they tried toescape numbers were surrounded and bayoneted on the spot. Not a prisouer was taken on either side.

The French made no attempt to pursue their foes beyond the advance works, as their numbers were considerably thinned by their contests, while those of the enemy would, of course, increase as they advanced further.

They, therefore, instantly set about removing their dead and wounded, while others destroyed the gabions as faoines of the parapets. Two large guns were spiked and dismounted, and eight colors were carried away. Our allies effected their retreat without molestation, except from the occasional fire of the Russian batteries- Their total loss in this affair

Execution of Pianori. The French papers briefly say that the assassin Pianori, was executed at five o'clock in the morning of the usual place of execution.

Pianori, it may be remembered, was condemned to die the death of a parricide. The place of execution was iu the square of the prison of Roquette, not far from the Bastile. A scaffold was erected over night, and the early hour offive o'clock in the morning was ppointed, with the view of preventing crowd. At a very early hour of the morning of execution, the Advoctfte General visited the prisoner and asked whether he had any disclosures to make. Pianori answered by a stern and decided "No!" Although at first insensible to the consolations of religion, the criminal shortly before his death besought the presence of a confessor. He admitted the criminality of his attempt on the Emperor's life, saying: "I ad-mit-my guilt, but know how to die." He further begged that the money found on him, amounting to one hundred francs, might be ££nt to his family— wife and two children—thatthey might buy bread. Precisely at five o'clock, Pianori was conducted totlu guillotine. His costume was the traditional one of parricides—a black veil over lib face, a white shirt over his clothes, and his feet bare. As ho was strapped to the plank, he exclaimed in a steady voice "Vive la Republique!" Ere he could repeat the cry, the plank turned beneath the knife and his head fell."
