TERRE-HAUTE, IND. TULSPAY, Jt LY 3, 1838.

S3T There will be no Daily American issued to-morrow, the Fourth of July. Custom haa long established this rule, and our hands say we must obey.

g3T The Terre-Haute and Richmond Bail Old Co. will carry persons intending to aUend the Mass Meeting, to be held at lodiarcapolia on the 13th inst., at half fare. Persons intending to' avail themselves of this arrangement! will procure tickets at the Ticket-Of-fice, paying full (are, returning free ••ma day or on Saturday.

fw Mrs. M. Farley Emerson de-

tC jr sires us to sny that she will give a Lecture in this city, on Saturday evening, if a suitable room can be

procured.

SUBJECT—The Righto of Man and the Duties of Woman! ADHITTAKCK—Gentlemen, 10 cents Ladles, rree.j

Sirs. Emerson is highly spoken of, by the Press, in those places where she has lectured.

tST Mr. A. G. Patrick, of the Greencastk Banner, haa been nominated for Recorder of Putnam county.— A good choice, and one who will be fast enough for the Old-Liners of Putnam Success to you, Albert, don't you make but two pledges to your fel-low-citizens, and let them be first, faithfulness in office, and a promise to get married if elected.

mr The gaps in the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad was closed up, on Saturday laat, and the Mayor and a few of the Council of St. Louia visited Vincennes, the same day.

Madame Ablomowicz is singing

A beautiful rainbow spanned

the West, this morning. This is rathera rare occurrence in this latitude, and is looked upon as ominous, by those inclined to bo superstitious.

"An Observer" is informed that his article is too long, and, is conseqoently declined.

jf3T A crazy woman killed two of her children with a club, a few days ago, near Evansvillc.

jar

A man living about forty miles

from Cairo, on the Railroad line, named Evans, was bitten by a mad-dog recently, and di« d, or rather was murderer) in coasequence. It is said that during his paroxysms five men «vere unable to hold him and, in compliance ,rith his earnest entreaties, la number of persons pltcsd him between two feather beds, and smothered him to death.

jar We learn from the Buffalo papers that the Canadians are makingfextensive preparations for celebrating the Fourth of July—a significant facf.— Wonder whether any exclusive American gentleman condescended to specially request these outsiders to celebrate Independence Day If no 6uch special request was made, how very impertinent it is in the Canadians to be proposing to aid in commemorating Our Day.—State Sentinel.

They want to get in tho way of it— All right. Expect Cuba and Nicaragua will be next.

Terrible Accident

8TBAMB OAT BXPL OSIOX. To some unknown friend, at Louisville, we are indebted for an "Extra Democrat," from which we obtain the following particulars of the destruction of the Lexington:

LOUISVILLE, Saturday Night, June 30, 1866—10 o'clock.) By the J. C. Fremont, just arrived in port, we learn the terrible and harrowing particulars of the explosion of the steamer Lexington, on her way from St. Louia to this port.

The accident occurred at about 3 or 4 o'clock this morning, about tiv« miles nbove Stephensport.—Her entire works forward of the hull were blown away the boat then took fire and bumed to the water's edge, and then turned bottom up. Skiffs and flatboats put off from the shore as soon as possib and suueeeded in saving considerable numbers.

The D. A. Given was coming up, a short distance behind her, nnd came in time to see the burning w.eck, and saved all she could pick up. She then went back to Stephensport, to bring a doctor up for the wounded that were on shore.-—The J. C. Fremont came up behind the Given and rendered all the assistance that could possibly be given. The D. A. Given succeeded in saving the baggage, to a great extent.

The Fremont broughtup eightofthe

re„r

to their wants, that be could not gither full news. He is a young man, and deserves, as he will receive, the esteem of all who may hear his name, which is Mr. D. Z. Watkins. The.officera of the D. A. Given and J. C. Fremont acted a noble part.

The explosion occuring as it did, be* fore day, and no one being up about the, boat except th« pilot, the watchman, and the engineer, with two or three fitemen—the engineer being lost, or( supposed to be, and the pilot too, there was no one to give information of the cause of the disaster.

Grant Thorburn.

This gemleman, better known as "Laurie Todd," writes a letter annually to the Home Journal, giving reminiscences of the early days of the Republic. He is a Scotchman by birth, and landed here at the age of twenty-two. He is now eighty-two. years of age, and is as bright andj sprightly as a young man. We give below the closing portion of his last letter:

In 1801, Thomas Jefferson became President of the niied States. Aaron Burr, Joel Barlow, Thomas Paine, and others, were his privy-counsellors.— Now commenced the age of experimints. Mr. Jefferson, in his inaugural speech, recommended rotation in office, and to sell our frigates and build f/un-boais.— The frigates were sold for less than the

clothing. When he fell he struck upon the wreck, or he would have been drowned. His money is all ijone to the last cent, and he lies in a critical condition. He was removed to the house of Mr. Uttinger, on Broadway, above First street.

Mr. W. C. Harkins, of Madison, Ind., also came up He is badly hurt—his feet being terribly mangled. A striker on the Lexington was also among the cabin passengers of the Fremont—hi* hurts are rather slight. He cannot give any account of the engineers, or what became of them, and it is supposed they were lost. Three white men came up on deck—two of them very badly hurt. A colored man, fireman, is very badly scalded, and his back terribly cut up.

The chief clerk of the Lexington was saved, but the books and papers were all lost. No news could be had of Captain Throop, and it is feared that lie was killed. The steward was also among the saved, as well as all the ladies on board.

How many were killed is not known —tho number of passengers not having been ascertained, nor how ir.an of them and of the crew were saved. But it is supposed that several were killed, either by the explosion or in the flames, or by drowning.

The officers and passengers on the lhremont did all in the power of human

wreck—The few who had been taken ~I^lf .Ihero

ashore by the flats and skiffs, were cared for by the Given and Fremont, and the people on 6hore.

who were daily arriving by thousands on these peaceful shores. (After Col. Burr returned from Europe, «hither he had fled, after the death of Hamilton, he gave me this piece of political intrigue.) In accordance with this coldblooded plan, I saw revolutionary men and officers who had fought with Washington, pine in the prison-ship and groan in the sugar-house. Yes I saw them marched out of the Custom house, Post, and very other office, some on cruches, some having one leg, some one arm, and others leaning on their staffs from wounds received in defence of their country. I saw their places filled by foreign patriots, many »«f them never having learned a letter of their own language, and not even able to speak a word of ours but such is the gratitude of model republics.

Then commenced the flood of foreign influence, which threatens to place us on the same list with the republics that were. 1 was naturalized, and voted when "Vaahington was president I therefore think, tl.at I have as good aright to think, as any Free thinker in America. I saw the rise and lall of the French and Mexican republ:cs both were strangled in their birth by the bands of Freethinkers and priests. The same tools are at work among us and a few Jadas Americans are selling their liberties to a foreign potentate for a mess of pottage and, except God work a miracle, I think, before Jftfiuary 1901, our dear sister Republics, France and Mexico, may look up and exclaim "Lo, America also, may become like one of us?"
