FOR GOYERNOR IN 1S72,

Washington C. De Pauw,

OF FLOTD COFJfTY.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 16,1871.

JUST at this time the Terre Haute GAZETTK and New Albany Ledger are engaged in the, to tbem, easy task of forming anew party of high conservative tendencies oat of the disconsolate and dissatisfied fragments now hanging on to the edges of the Democratic and Republican organizations. Up this way Col. Hudson's efforts have, so far, reached less than a half dozen people of both parties. How-fares the case down at New Albany we have no means of ascertaining.—Jour• nal.

There area great many things in this worid, that the editor of the Terre Haute Journal has "no means of ascertaining." We doubt, however, if the editor is to be blamed for that—a man can not help, and should not be blamed, for a lack of ability to ascertain important facts.

The Democratic editor of the New Albany Ledger has, perhaps, learned what most certainly the editor of the GAZETTE has, that the elections of the last two weeks, have accomplished for the Democratic party, just what one of its distinguished members asserted a few months ago had occurred to it, viz: "busted" it. It lies in disjointed fragments from Maine to California, from the Gulf to Alaska, and its most sagacious members seem to have no disposition to gather up the fragments and cement them again in one grand whole.

The editor of the Journal belongs to one of those fragments—a Bourbon portion. Apart which most certainly never forgets anything, and it is much doubted if it ever learns anything. ITe stands in his party to-day, in the precise condition that the courageous little ram occupied when it undertook to' butt over a solid stone fence. It butted all night, and as the first light of the morning revealed its operations to the beholder, the poorlittle stubborn, plucky animal had all been butted away but about two inches of the tail, and it was pitching at the unshaken wall with persistent determination. The editor was against negro suffrage and against the Fifteenth Amendment before it becaiiie apart of the Constitution, is opposed to it now when it is a part of that instrument, and we suppose will oppose it the remainder of his natural life. All we have to say to four neighbor aud his little batch of sage advisers, is, beware of the indiscretion of the courageous but eminently foolish little sheep.

THE New York Sun closes a long and able article in relation to the result of the recent elections, in the following pithy language: "Such is the situation at the close of the contests for the present year. What is to become of it is the problem of the hour. The crimes of a. few Democratic leaders in New York have prostrated the party from the Aroostook to the Pacific. Though the infrequent elections of this year in the old slave-holding States prove that the Republican carpet-bag governments there are falling to pieces, aud though the Republican party everywhere catching the spirit of the central figure at Washington, is reeking with corruption, 110 sagacious politician believes that it will be any more avail to run a Democratic candidate in 1872 of the old type than to set up a candidate for the decayed throne of the ancieut Mongol Empire. Nevertheless, the Democracy have a sonorous name which they are loath to abandon, some most valuable political dectrines, and a vast multitude of voters, all of which, and especially the two latter, can be employed, in conjunction with fresh allies aud some new principles, under progressive, unstained leaders, to rescue the country from the harpies that now corrupt, rend aud devour it.

The events of th'§ l&st thf&e months have developed the issues which are to dominate in the coming Presidential coutest. They are new, aud they are vital to the preservation of a Republican form of government. They are summed up in the briefest terms. They are I esty in the administration of affairs agaiuat oorruption in office. The extir pation of fraud and venality iu the high places and th^lpw places of the land, of money-getting4 and moiiey^pendiug in politics, of bribe-taking and gift-taking by men in office, are henceforward to form the questions of the day. Ill

Whatever party shall attempt to thrust iuto the coming Presidential campaign controversies touchiug the negro, tlue Ku-Klux, and kindred subjects, will be driven from the arena by the contempt of an indignant people. These themes have long enough absorbed the attention of the best minds in the country, and afforded to sly rogues covenient opportunities for praotioing their corrupt and venal arts.

If any party shall have the hardihood to present a candidate for the Presidency in 1872 who can be fairly charged with any of the offences we have specified, or is even suspected of them, he wjll be blasted with the retributive lightning of an incensed people."

A Prenoh letter writer says that journalists as a rule are more esteemed and regarded in Paris than in any other city in Europe, and without exception lead the pleasanteat style of life possible to find among the thousand and one different trades and occupations of the gay Capital. 1

Cowards and Heroes.

Human annals do not surpass, in equal time and space, the immensity and intensity of suffering and death crowded into the meager epitome of one single hour. The scene of a thriving industry, aud the home of nearly a hundred people, the place, though isolated from any human vicinity, had maintained a flourishing and tranquil vitality. The shingle mill, with its coadjutant industries, gave employment to the entire people, women and children dividing the easy labor of shingling and binding. There were but four buildings on the clearing— the mill, the general boarding-house, a store, and the barn. Economy and convenience, curious to say, had dictated the selection of this remote spot. The timber inexhaustibly covered the place, and it was of unequaled quality a lazy little stream meandering through the gnarled roots and softsoil offered a supply of water, enough with artesian wells to drive the mill machinery. It was cheaper to work the great logs into marketable shape here, where they were right at hand, than establish the mills on the lake or bay and drag the immense timber over miles of wretched roads. The fiery experience of the west shore—of the whole Northern Wisconsin—had been the experience of this wood immerced hamlet. For a weeks, incessant laborous battle had been waged night and day, reliefs of men and even women taking turns in the exhausting contest. It was hoped that all danger had been warded, off when a wide belt, fully a mile deep, had been burned outward from the clearing. The serenity of assured safety had come upon the people when this black circumvallation was complete—the very night before the calamity. On that fatal Sunday morning the mill operations suspended and the men who had homes in the neighboring towns of Big and Little Sturgeon made an early start through the woods. When night came, some kindly Providence detained them, and the massacre was so much less. The night came on tranquilly, the humid air gave grateful promise of coming rain, and the last lingering distrust was banished from the timidest inhabitant. Early in the night most of the little population in the hamlet were in doors or in bed. It was still early when those casually astir outside saw a great glowing light shoot athwart the southern sky, and spreading rapidly west and northward, continue with dazzling brilliancy. Presently a slender cqlumn of fire shot forward, and caught by a whirlwind, came plowing through the solid timber toward the mill.

By this time the sleepers and all had rushed from the barrack in a wild, clamoring consternation.

Three brothers, Williamsons, owned the mill, and had in the colony mother, father, sisters, wives and children. Hast ily charging the women to care for themselves, the brothers set aboutsaving the property if possible. But before the hose could be brought to bear, the saving of life alone became the stake in the dreadful encounter. The brothers, as proprietors, seem for a time to have been full of calm, brave discretion, and, with the full realization of the sudden danger in the first of the tornado, attempted systematic plans of preservation. The women were directed as far as possible to put on men's clothes throughout, as offering less chance for the fire to catch. So far as known not a woman heeded the advice. Had they done so their lives might not have been sacrificed on that ignoble pyre. Even if life had not been spared, the most revolting sights of the massacre would have been spared for heart-broken survivors. This was the last shred of coherent conduct among the frightened people. Swift whirling columns of flame had cut through the intervening limber, and fell voraciously on the light frame buildings. The whirlwind lashing the trees into fragments caught the fire iu roaring surges, and flung it about in billowy waves among the Uee-tops. Slender tongues of fire falling from above played in malevolent currents across the clearing. A desperation of terror filled meu, women and children—a terror as natural as fatal, for had common fortitude led the group not a soul need have perished. With one impulse the frantic mass, battling aud orowdlng, rushed to the potato patch. Here arising ground was crowned by a shallow pit, not six feet around, and hardly, at the deepest part, two feet below the surface of the ground. Men now living, who came almost unscathed through that night of gloom, tell how, before the evil, time when the fires were raging, this spot was fixed on as a place of safety, because almost in the center of the clearing, with no inflammatory matter near, it seemed to promise a breathing in case of a general conflagration. There had been constant jocosities and banter about this "centre of salvation," and some one, actually attempting to enlarge the cavity, had been driven off by good-natured ridicule. Even as late as Saturday It had been used as a place of refuge notwithstanding, and when the actual danger came the credulous mass remembered the delusive pit. If that fatal spot had not been, if the whimsical belief had not obtained a firm hold, there is not the slightest doubt but the fortyseven that peri&ied would have escaped in the neighboring woods. Into that cramped place, crowding, buffeting, begging, cursing, imploring, praying, shrieking, men, children and women elbowed and fought in the frenzy ofa hideous desperation aud terror. Not large enough to submit a dozen by the closest packing nearly fifty wrestled and crowded in and about the futal spot. With ostrich instinct, in the abjectness of their unreasoning fear, meu plowed their burning heads under the living pyre. An inextricable pyramid of bodies in ail sorts of conceivable postures, stood in the flame swept place.

There were a few in this awful time that preserved an amazing equanimity. The engineer of the mill, Byron Merrill, a young fellow of marked character and intelligence, battled resolutely till the last chance to save his employers' property, and only when the futility of the effort and the danger to life became obvious was his self-imposed duty resigned. A bit of romance tinges the glaring pic ture. His sweetheart was the relative of the mill owners, Miss Maggie Williamson, a girl, it is said, of rare beauty and attraction. The young fellow, bright and cultured beyond hi-s kind, regarded with favor and affection for many a mile around, had won her heart, and the two were to have been married. The girl, with her kindred, had fled fo the potato patch, and here, suffocating with smoke, their garments in flames, and writhing in awful agony, the young fellow found the chief part of the people. He tried to scatter the infurated group with his hat pressed closely over his mouth and nostrils, he "directed the group to break and t&ke shelter In the edge of the timber. Hopeless! The roar of the hurricane,even theblood-curdlingshrieks of the sufferers drowned his voice. He tried by main force to tear the hideous mass asunder, but the strength of a "ant could not have broken the maden clutch of the wretched sufferers. The group was immovably fixed to the fatal spot, and rose from burning sand, a fiery Laoooon straggling with the coiling flames. Merrill, hastily fetching Wetted blankets, threw them over the nearest sufferers, meantime shouting to them to break for the timber, not twenty steps away. Useless. With the skin banging in shreds upon his hands and forehead, he carried water and poured it on the infatuated group, while the Ignoble crowding went on madly amoogthe iwiftly roieUog o»wJ. The

J€

atrdggta had been from the first a loathesome unreasoning fear a moment's coolness, a moment's cessation of the frightful effort to wedge downward would have given life to all. The time came,: however, when the: faithful Merrill, stripped almost of clothing, and burned beyond recognition, had to give up the heroiceffort, and, pluugjdg through the darting flames dashed his burning body in the well. Earlier in the catastrophe a half dozen heavy sleepers bad found tardiness their salvation from the potatopatch, and they darted into the timber belt, which had been carefully burned out long before to keep the fire from the houses. Here, prone to the ground, they protected themselves, while the mad crowd, not ten yards away, roasted in their blindness. The falling trees could be guarded against, but nothing could save from the encompassing fire in the clearings. One came, too, whose frail chance of life the meanest creature struggling in that hot pit would not have refused, an old tottering, half blind, trembling woman, mother to the owners of the mill. She must have been forgotten in the first rush, for when she cime toward the potato-patch it was filled with a crowd thrown prone upon their faces in the shallow depths of the potato pit.' Seven of her kindred writhed in that hideous knot. Passing on with decrepit step, the venerable mother, whose eighty-four years had not worn out coolness and discretion, came upon a great bowlder near the edge of the timber. Climbing on this, although half suffocated, she covered her head with her shirts, and, with clothes carefully tucked up from the running flames, kept for hours on the back of this unique sal amander. The only son that came out of the fire with his life, it is said, did not forget his duty, and aided his mother to this forlorn refuge. Be that as it may, with a thick blanket well wetted over her body and her skirts, out of reach of the hot incendiary sand, the old lady perched on that rock through the long night of agony, every shriek or the roastiug kindred splitting her ears, and their burning bodies almost within reach of her helping arms. Twice through the night she received succor, once from her son, who came up and wetted her covering, and once from the barn master, [CONCLUDED ON THIRD PAGE.]
