Gov. Foote.—This gentleman, believ
ed to be a citizen of Mississippi, but no
permanently a citizen of any place, ha:
become the principal Douglas orator upoi
the Hustings of Virginia. He has spo
ken in several localities, ana lastly 11
Richmond. We think the support of Gov
Foote is really an injury to any cause o
! man which he favors. He has boxed ev
ery side of the political compass, and wn
a Know-Nothing in 1855. Are Demo
crals willing to affiliate with such a mai
as he? If Judge Douglas relies upoi
such trading politicians as Foote to advo
cate his claims in the South, he will fim
himself without a Democratic supporter 11

APPALLING DISASTER!!
Collision on Lake Michigan—Loss of the
Steamer Lady Elgin—Three Hundred
Lives Lost— Only Ninety-eight Persons
Saved—F. A. Lumsden and family, of
New Orleans, among the Lost.
On Friday night, Sept. 7, the Lady El
gin left the port of Chicago at half past 11
o’clock, for Lake Superior, with between
three and four hundred passengers on
board. Among them were the Union
Guards of Milwaukee, composing apart
of some two hundred and fifty excursion
ists from that city.
About half-past two o’clock in the morn
ing, a vessel, the schooner Augusta, Capt.
Malott, of Oswego, came in collision with
the Lady Elgin, and when about ten miles
from shore. The vessel struck the steam
er at the midships gangway, on the lar
board side ; the two separated instantly,
and the Augusta drifted by in the dark
ness.
At the moment of collision there was
music and dancing in the forward cabin.
In an instant after the crash, all was still,
and in half an hour the steamer sank be
neath the waves. I passed through the
cabin; the ladies were pale but silent;
there was not a cry nor a shriek ; no
sound but the rush of steam and the surge
of the heavy seas. Whether they were
not fully aware of the danger, or whether
their apalling situation made them speech
less, I cannot tell.
A boat was lowered at once, with the
design of going round upon the larboard
side to examine the leak. There were
two oars, but just at that moment some
person posseesed himself of one of them,
and we were left powerless to manage the
boat. We succeeded in reaching the
wheel, but were drifted away, and thrown
upon the beach at Winetka. Only two
boats left the steamer; one of them con
tained thirteen persons, all of whom were
saved ; the other boat eight; but four
reached the shore alive, the others being
drowned at the beach.
Before I left the steamer the engine
had ceased to work, the fires having been
extinguished, and within thirty minutes
the Lady Elgin had disappeared. The
force and direction of the wind was such
that the boats and fragments of wreck were
driven up the lake and would reach the
shore along in the vicinity of Winetka.
As I stood upon the beach helplessly look
• i i i .i i j J rf. J 1
lug uauv uiuuu me ivjuic vvUQu uimcu, j
could see in the gray of the morning, ob
jects floating upon the water, and some
times, 1 thought, human beings struggling
with the waves.
The above is from the statement of the
clerk of the Lady Elgin. It is estimated
that there were three hundred and eighty
five persons on board. Of this number
three hundred were excursionists, fifty re
gular passengers, and thirty officers and
crew. Ninety-eight persons are reported
saved.
Among the lost is Col. F. A. Lumsden,
the principal editor of the New Orleans
Picayune, with his wife, son sixteen years
old, and two daughters.

the movements of Gen. Walker.
The English man-of-war Yearns arriv- '

to surrender the town. Walker obeyed I
the command, and retired down the lower 1

According to the last advices, Walker's ,
force was reduced to twenty-five men by j
the continued attacks of the enemy.
lu one of these attacks Walker was se- '
verely wounded in the face. Seven of the

“ We learn by a gentleman who left Marshal) '

punished. The facts as related to us are
briefly these: Three persons left Henderson
immediately after the conflagration under
vpry suspicious circumstances. They were
followed by a committee of citizens, and over
taken on the road to Marshall. Perceiving
themselves pursued, they turned to fight, when
one of them was shot dead from his horse,
and the other two were taken and hung forth

5ir:—I am well pleased with my machine. I
hlnk I can say. with all truth, it is as good aB

pery thing.
To whom It may Concern :—I have thor
mglily examined the machine known as
Moore’s Sewing Machine, and candidly assert
hat I consider it the best cheap machine I
■ver saw, and in fact, the only really practical
me. I believe it to be all that is claimed for
t—simple, strong and durable, and for a fam

ither Sewing Machine in market, regardless
j[ price.—[H. H. Spnith, Vice President of

viction of all who have witnessed its operation.

Machine in my family about six months, and
it gives entire satisfaction. It is simple and
easily managed, and does equally well all kinds
of family work.
The above notices are only a few of the
many which might be given, but these arc
deemed sufficient to satisfy all reasonable per
