SATURDAY, SEPT. 12, 1868 
The carriage road and railroad over Mont Cenis, 
Italy, have recently been partially destroyed by a 
fearful storm. Communication was suspended for 
several days. 
Queen Victoria is traveling through Europe under 
the name of the Countess of Kent. 
The storm which prevailed on the southwest coast 
of England August 22d, proved very destructive to 
shipping. The beach at some points was literally 
strewn with wrecks of every description. Twenty, 
three lives were lost by the sinking of the ship Tara. 
Another large vessel, name unknown, went down 
near a light house with all on board. Many disas¬ 
ters to British shipping are reported from Welsh and 
Irish ports. Steam communication with Irelandand 
the continent was generally suspended by the gale.

tion gave out, and then abandoned their train, sav¬ 
ing what stock they could. 
A farmer named Siaithbeck, living at Christiana, 
Wifi., was lately robbed of $4,000 by two young men 
who beat his;wife inhumanly and shot him with a 
pistol. 
A Mr. Wheeler, State Senator in Arkansas, was 
waylaid not long since, and a persistent attack made 
on his life. He escaped. Attempts have been made 
of like cnaracter on other Union men in that State. 
Messrs. Westheimer & Eppeteim, wholesale gro¬ 
cers of St. Joseph, Mo., have failed. Their liabili¬ 
ties are $00,000. 
A section of the tunnel in process of construction 
under the Chicago river, at Washington street, caved 
in lately from the effects of heavy rain. An im¬ 
mense derrick and the engines attached went down 
in the ruins. The loss is estimated by the contract¬ 
ors at $25,000. 
Chicago grows very fast. At a recent meeting of 
the Common Council orders were passed for the 
erection of more than two hundred additional 
street lamps, rendered necessary by the extension 
of the city. 
Mr. Charles Beck, one of the wealthiest mer¬ 
chants in Waukegan, Wis., has been held in $25,000 
■with a general tendency to lower rates, 
last week in the Boston market was from 50 to 75c. per bbl. 
In the present condition ol the market dealers purchase 
sparingly. 
Woon.—The salts in Boston last week were a little short 
of 1,000,000 lbs. The price for fleece was 42@S5fc., and 40@55c. 
for pulled. Prices of the low and medium grades have ad¬ 
vanced from 4 to 5c, and extra -r.-aileB 30,1c. from the lowest 
point. The market for Woolen Goods is buoyant, within- 
creased demand. 
Pork Is very firm, and stocks light upon the seaboard. 
Butte?, is very firm in tbe Eastern markets, and a little 
higher than last week.

Are now finished and in operation. Although this road is 
built with great rapidity, the work is thoroughly done, and is 
pronounced by the United States C ommissioners to be first- 
class in every respect,before it is accepted, and before any 
bonds can be issued upon It. 
Rapidity and excellence of construction have been secured 
by a complete division of labor, and by distributing the 
twenty thousand men employed along the line for long dis¬ 
tances at once. It is now probable that the 
Whole Line to the PACIFIC will he

materials found along the line of Us operations; also 12,800 
acres of land to the mile, taken in alternate sections on each

amounting to from $16,000 to $18,000 per mile, according to 
the difficulties to be surmounted on the various sections to

I THE EARNINGS OF THE UNION PACIFIC HALL- 
ROAD , from its Way or Bocal Business only, durin g the y ear 
ending June 30th, 0808. amounted to over 
four Million Dollars, 
which, after paying all expenses was much more titan suffi¬

the assassin Whalen disappeared a few days since. 
He crossed the river at Ogdenshnrgh, but was cap¬ 
tured by Bpies, who inveigled him into drinking 
freely and then persuaded him to re-cross to the 
Canadian shore. Terrific tires have again broken 
out in the neighborhood of Bell Ewart and Sunny- 
dale, on the Northern railway. On the 29th ult. the 
station at Snnnydaie canght fire, and in a short time 
the entire village, embracing twenty-five or thirty 
houses, was in ashes. The inhabitants of Sunny- 
dale were taken to New Lowell, and are well cared 
for. The railway track was destroyed for nearly a 
voile, but has been repaired. Other villages are in 
danger of destruction. The North American Hotel 
at Goderich, and a large wooden block adjoining, 
I containing six stores, were destroyed by fire on 
the 30th ultimo. 
Mnrphy was read, In which he refused to auow ms 
name to he farther used in the canvass, and thus I 
John T. Hoffman was nominated by acclamation. 
There was a sharp contest for Lieutenant Governor, 
resulting in the nomination of Allen C. Beach, of 
Jefferson. The resolutions adopted repeat and en¬ 
dorse the platform of the National Convention and 
its nominations; declare that registration and excise 
laws should be uniform throughout the State; that 
excise laws should be executed and fees collected 
under them through local authorities in the several 
counties; demand economy in expenditures of pub¬ 
lic money and protection against monopolies; and 
■aaeprt. that, the canals should remain in the hands of 
A Sangerfest in Pittsburg.— A Sangerfest was 
held in Pittsburg, Pa., last week. Delegations were 
present from Western New York, Northern Vir¬ 
ginia, Western Pennsylvania, Eastern Ohio and 
Michigan. Mayor Blockmore delivered an address 
of welcome, and a speech was made by Gov. Geary 
in English and Rev. Mr. Schilling in German. 
From the South. 
Serious resistance to the execution of the laws 
of the*.United States by the Marshal of Kentucky is 
reported as having been made in the counties of 
Lome, Nelson and Marion. In attempting to exe- 
cute.procesees of the U. S. Courts in certain revenue 
cases, the Marshal and his deputy were set upon by 
six armed men and taken to a mill, where were 25 
other armed robbers, who took their papers from 
therm and threatened them with death, promising 
the same fate to any person who should attempt to 
execute U. S. processes in that neighborhood. The 
officers were then dispatched under guard to the 
nearest railroad depot. 
Accounts from all portions of Texas concur in 
representing that this season's crop of cotton will 
far exceed that of last year, and a general impres¬ 
sion prevails that 175,000 baleE will be received at 
Galveston.

The Vermont Election.— The annual election in 
Vermont last week resulted in the success of the 
Republican State ticket by a largely increased ma¬

men by heavy majorities, the choice of a State Sen¬ 
ate unanimously Republican and a House nearly so.

Letters from Greece say that the Cretan insurrec¬
