Wc know, that in the rase before us the Dem ocratic nominee BIN M. is highly spoken of, but it is not difficult to discover that the object of this indignant repulsion of the charge of "e.aziness,"—a charge by the way that iu o :r exchange readings we do not remem ber to have seen—was to remove rem the p lie mind of Northern Iowa, the fact that If.

We shall regret the close of navigation in December as it w ill cut us off from a seuii we*e kly exchange of kind greetings with eme of the best Democrats that a steam bo it carries. Gov. CJUIMEY—We ares informed by A gentle man from Guteaibcrg that the Governor, on Saturday night last, at that place, made a speech, and took the broad ground advocated bv ev.ry Republican paper in the State "that negroes should be allowed the right of suffage in Iowa." We are glad to know that the Republican masses of Clayton County, and particularly of MeGrvgor, do not agree with liis excellency.— Stoneman and Collins, if elected to the Legis lature, could not consistently support Grimes for the Senate. The St. Ch .rles Republican says Grimes has "written to a gentleman eif that city urging his own qualifications as IT. S.

Captain John®on of the Norwegian bark Ellen, whith rescued forty-nine of the Central America's jiassengers iu his published state, ment snys "Just before 6 o'clock on the afternoon of Se| tetnber 12, I was standing en the quarter dck with two others etf the crew on the deck at the time, eside the man at the wheel.— Suddenly a bird Hew over around me. just gr.iz ing my light shoulder. Afterwards it tVw around the ve ssel, and then it commenced lolly around my head. It soon flew at my face, w hen 1 caught hold eif it and made it a risoner.— The i ird was i n'ike any bird I ever saw be fore, nnd I don't know its name. The color of its fearers was a dark iron gray its body was a tbot and a half in length, vi'h three and a hall'feet from tip to tip. It had a beak full eight iuehes long, and sort of teeth like a small hand saw. In caj turing it, it gave nie a good bite on my right thumb. Two of the erew who assisted in tying its legs were also bitten. As it sbeiwe-d to bite at everybo ly, I had its head cutolf and the hotly tin-own overboard. Wln u the bird Hew to tho ship the bark was going a little north of northwest. I reg.areleel the appearance of the bird ns an omen, anel an indication to me that I ist change iny course. I accordingly headed to the cas'warel, direct, I should not have deviated from my course had not Ihe bird visit eel the ship, anel had it not been for this change of course I should not have fallen in with such passengers of the Cen tral America." The New York Times says "Capt. Johnson is a small, very plain and unassuming man, with a e-ountemince beaming with good nature and benevolence. Flis age is about thirty-five. He says he has followed the sea ever since lie was a boy seven years old.— He has been shipwrecked fivquenily and en coun'ercd wrecks, but never met with anything like what he has recently passcel through in rescuing the passengers of the Central Ameri ca. He attributes to Providtncc the strange visit of the bird to his ship, ami ft-cl* thankful for the warning that caused him to change his course aud become the instrument of doing so much good iu saving so many lives. He feels the goetd he lias done a sulfide ut reward."

When upon the point of being capitured in the Ftage at Henderson by dge Fiandrau, be stabbed himself to the heart, gave up the money, and died. The pa pers say that 'old Bill", as the major was called iu Iloosicrdom, made qui k time in ursuit of the thief.

ILr The Connecticut advisers of the President ha^e replied to the skinning he gave them*— The f/itU eif the reply is that Kansas laws were not properly autherized and licncc nobody was bound to obey them. Some of the Kansas laws were undoubtedly bad, but no eme has before charged that they were not legally established. New Haven ex ounders of the constitution would be bad guides iu political matters. BEARS.—-The bear season is drawing near and we shall soon have items of astounding inter est relative to bruin.

Tine CKNTKAL AMERICA.—The steam er Central America built in 1853, bore the name of George Law until last June, when it was changed under the following circumstances: The Geo.

Forty dollars were raised for the poor little orphans who were so suddenly b'reaved of parents, and thrown on the weirld without a guide or a dollar.

"Married who are you talking to I hare been married twice." "Oh, pshaw replied Brahma, "get away!
