Jacksonport Herald.—The destructive
lire at Jacksonport on the 28th of March, it
will be remembered, destroyed among other
property the office of the Herald. Messrs.
Lynn & Gill had issued but two numbers of
their paper, when the ‘‘fiery element” de
stroyed their bright hopes for the future.
They had taken the precaution to insure their
material in the -Etna Insurance Company, of
Hartford, Connecticut, who promptly adjusted
their claim, and they were thus enabled to
Dialer new material again, and on Saturday
last, the Herald, Phcenix like, arose from the
ksfies and the third number of their new pa
per is now before the public, making even a
putter appearance than the two first numbers.
I We spent a few hours at Jacksonport, on
Wlonday, and although the wide-spread evi
dences of destruction were apparent; yet, the
■uerchants and citizens of the town looked
Kbecrfill, and the evidences of renewed euer
*»v were exhibited in the erection of buildings,
"»lul a determination on the part of all to re
store their fortunes and “ stem the tide of life
ufti\ce more.” Nothing will do as much to
wards restoring the town as the sustaining of
lb" newspaper enterprise of Messrs. Lynn &.
,15111. They are gentlemen of sterling worth.
Slid they will need the liberal aid of their
i^atrons for at least the first year.
W Fire, the tornado and pestilence may de
■ slroy, but the newspaper press can restore,
met the “Herald” be liberally supported,
||ml our word for it, the town will be re-built.
Slid prosperity and plenty will again smile
jpon the goodly town of Jacksonport, and her
^whole-souled and liberal-minded citizens.

I The Richmond Examiner, while
deploring the occasion of a disruption ol
the Democratic party, and avowing the
attachment of the people of Virginia to
! >'» says:
“Although the telegraphic despatches
which will arrive at a late hour will no
doubt tell us what has been the action of
the Virginia delegation, we are now igno
rant of their course. Their position has
been of great embarrassment. The
Democracy of Virginia have always been
, true to the South upon every question of
political interest which has yet arisen._
Her counsels, example and adv.ce have
always exerted a wholesome and restrain
ing influence upon her younger and more
impetuous sisters of the South, and when
her Democracy is called upon to strike a
blow at the real and practical interests
and the rights of the South or destroy the
nationality of the democracy, they will
prove true to those States whose interests
are identical with her own."
The Richmond Enquirer says:
“The despatches from Charleston, pub
lished in Tuesdays's and to-day’s papers,
announce the disruption of the Charleston
Convention by the secession of several
Southern States. It does not appear at
the writing of this, what position Vir
ginia has taken, but we have no doubt her
delegates will not divide Virginia from I
her sister Southern Slates.”
Half Votes.—It may be rather late
to explain what fractional votes mean, as
recorded in the proceedings of the Charles
ton Convention ; but as we have heard
the enquiry many times made, we con
sider it better late than never.
The representation at Charleston con
sisted of twice the number of electoral
voles to which the various States are en
titled. The Electoral College consists of
303 votes—the number of delegates enti
tled to vote in the Charleston Convention
therefore numbered 606 ; but in voting or
balloting the electoral votes only were re
garded in declaring the result. Hence,
if the two delegates representing an elec
toral vote thought differently, and voted
for different men, it divided their vote one
fro T f\r» nnn.lm If knmiY t U »• /-»t * » f, • «• nnr.
man, and the other half for another. In
voting by States the result was the same.
For instance, take Tennessee : her elec
toral vote is twelve—consequently she had
twenty-four delegates. Suppose nineteen
of the twenty-four to have voted for one
candidate and five for another, the vote
would have been recorded nine and a half
and two and a half—aggregating twelve.
By bearing in mind that tire delegations
were double and that each delegate voted
independently, the reader will have no
difficulty in accounting for the half votes
reported in the proceedings.—[Memphis
Avalanche.

Anarchy in Utah.—Big families are
not always peaceable. The Mormons
seem far from it. Gov. Cummins has
informed the President that Utah is in
a condition bordering on anarchy, and
some action is necessary therefore on the
government to relieve the Territory from
present and impending evil. He alludes
to the bands of desperadoes whose con
duct renders the tenure of life and prop
erty uncertain, and requests either that
Judges will be sent out in place of those
who have deserted Utah, that the Probate
Courts be authorized to exercise the
powers claimed by them and granted by
the Legislative Assembly ; or adopt some
means of safety.
He requests that 500 soldiers be re
tained there, as the withdrawal of the
entire army would be injurious and un
just
Gov, Cummins states the population of.
Utah is 52,000 or 53.000, though it is
larger estimated by the Mormons
-<-♦ -»
James Stout Convicted.—The sec
ond trial of James Stout, one of the Ot
tawa seditionists. was concluded in the
United Slates District Court.
The charge of Judge Drummond to the
jury was substantially the same as in the
previous cases. It was a clear, strong
and powerful exposition of the law and
the constitution, and left no room for
doubt in the minds of those who heard
the evidence, as to the duty of the jury in
the premises.
The jury remitted into Court about five
o’clock with a verdict of guilty.
This is the third conviction in Chicago
under an indictment for violating the Fu
gitive Slave law—one being upon a plea
of guilty entered by the defendant.
One or two other of the Ottawa sedi
tionists have been arrested and will be
tried, probably during the present term of
the Court.—[Chicago Tunes.

A Texas Tragedy.—A letter from
Austin, dated April 18di, gives an account
of a terrible tragedy which was enacted
in innt city of the 17ih. It appears that
some dozen men, living on Onion Creek,
eight or ten miles from there, rescued a
prisoner from the hands of the sheriff,
while having his trial for the supposed
murder of an old gentleman named Ed
wards, living in the neighborhood of the
above named parties. They shot thirteen
six-shooter bullets into his bead and body.
He breathed for some two hours after.
The prisoner's name was Taney. 'He
] was arrested in October, 1857, for shoot
ing the son of the above named Edwards,
and was cleared in the spring or summer
of 1758, on the ground of insanity. This
happened in the Court House, and two of
the parlies engaged in the killing were
arrested ou the spot and are now in jail.

A Clergyman Robbed in a Dog
gery.—In Brooklyn, New York, on
Sunday afternoon last, Rev. William L.
Hodges, of the Apostolic Baptist church,
Williamsburg, visited a porter house, not
far from his place of worship, and after
remaining there some lime became drow
sy. A waiter of the establishment, a
colored individual, named George Mead,
took advantage of this to pick the rever
end gentleman's pocket of fifty-one dol
lars, and also his best sensation sermon.
What a totally depraved fellow that man
is—we mean the waiter.
_The Cleveland Plaindealer, in speaking
of the celebrated amalgamation Republican
stronghold in that Stitjf. (Oberlin), say- that
there are so many colored persons that the
streets constantly wear a dark appeal ance,
and gas has to be burned ou cloudy' days to
i enable white people to get around.
