TtI rTanarain arti! not. haps onu or two Others, will hereaM I ter refuse to act with the l'epubucan msjonty in the Senate, while Chief OBtiee Ubase is pow said to be in full sympathy with the Democrats. The only, member of orig. inal Cabinet who now acts with the Republicans, is Simon Cameron, who was turned oat for corruption' Democratic ExcMnge. Sprague is gone, is he? What will the Republican party do to fill up the awful chasm? It is fearful- to contemplate the disasters that must follow in the wake of this gigantic secession.

pragae, the-renown ea Rhode Island champion of heavy weights. Sprague, the man who ftaTftoTi(fl ever was done by little Rhody in tlho war, and who paid accerding to his own figuring, all the expenses. The hero who de tects personal cowardice in Burn- side; the moral lighthouse that trem bles from weathercock to founda tion, at the chock of the buffeting waves of modern social depravity; who asked a wondering Senate, in broken tones i of concentrated conjugal sympathy, "What hus band can now shut his door in safety?" to which the resound ing gallerios, jvith glistening eyes, echoed, Sprague won't act with us Surely now, the piercing eye of thatdem cratic Iowa Demosthenes will "see" another "knell of the Esdical party in thoir faces" immediately! But he is gone, and the Radicals will have to letfher As to the lesser lights, Ross, Fowler and Ilenderson, we've had oar ay all out over them, and have 'dried up our tears and became reconciled. Our heart utterly refuses to sink, and our pocket linen to be used as a mop, when of a casual tombstone recalls their memories. But our Democratic friends do not intend to be understood to seriously bontcmplate the wringing the Radical soul by announcing the de-fection of Chase? Chase! the father-in-law of Sprague! You don't mean to say you've got the ponderous Chief Justice? The election last fall demonstrat ed how nearly your little joke of giving bim some votes for the Pres idential nomination in New York4 came to loi'ing Republicanism Hi platform too!

Our townsman, Robert W.

Ben nett, of Kilbonrn, Jenkins, it re turned Nst Wednesday from an ex tended tour into the interior. It ii his first visit of any great extent to the western counties, and ho seems to be enraptured with the beautiful and thriving country through which ho passod. Leaving Brownville, he went through Tecumseb, thence beyond Wolf River to Blue Spring on the Republican; thence to the Otoe village; thence to Brownville by the direct road. In every. locality coming under his notice wheat is very fine, and is being rapidly harvested.

All the small grains are better and more advanced than in the river tier of counties. Corn, however, though promising well, is scarcely equal to nearer the river. The present season seems to be uncommonly fruitful of storms through out the entire country. Uains and floods, with hail storms and lightning, tornadoes, have held high carnival thus far. The unusually b-ight prospects for the heaviest crops of all kinds in the States, have been in many places very seriously dampened by the copiousness of rains aud the abundance of bail storms.

Notwithstanding thi, the the harvests this seaon will in the aggregate considerably exceed that of any previous season in the histo-of the country. The sacrifice of hu man life by drowning, by lightning, and by accidents to trains running on railroad, underminod by floods has been immense, add the dispatch es now-a-day-B are burdened with tue details of calamities of this kind. It would 6eem that somo unusual agency is at work causing these pur-turbations in the usually well order, ed regulations of terrestral things. The mind naturally' turns to the fact of the solar eclipse, this year, a the solution for this" question. It may bo that from some remarkable cause not yet fully explained or understood, and connected with relative positions about being aaumed by celestsal bodies, the unusual prevalence of storms and unwonted meteorological manifestations, are ex.

plainable. Wo cordially- endorse the follow ing from the Illinois State Journal: wish tho the journalists of the West would unite in an humble memorial to the Associated Pres, respectfully showing: 1. We dont care whether Mary Walker gets an office or not. 2. We don't whether Mr.

Howard gets to China or not. 3. We don't believe Mr. McMahon is in any danger from his friend Lopez and don't wont to hear anything from him. 2.

London, July A special to th'e Ilerald says, a meeting of Irreconcilable1 was held yesterday in Paris. M. Thiers, who attempted to lead, submitted a draft of an address to be issued in their name, to the electors of France The meeting, however rejected the address, to tho mortification of Thiers.

The French Assembly will not be convened until October. The Senate will remaia in session the greater part of August, Tor the purpose of carryiBg out the changes in the Constitution, of which 62 are suggested. A message from the Emperor to the Senate i shortly expected. A strong opposition is looked for by the conservatives, bnt it is thought ii win ue nnany vimeu. The ministers are bard at work drawing up drafts, laws, etc- to be submitted to the Senato.

The Em peror expi esses a desire that the new laws be made more liberal, even. than was proposed in the late mes sage, fnnce intends de livering an important speech in the SenaU on the subject oibe new reform, whioh he regards as hardly iuu euougu.

Five hundred well drilled troops, nnder the command of Subaviagos, bad taken the field near Cuidad Iteal, whore they were defeated and dispersed by the national troops, nomniandod by Gen. Tornabctto. The battle commenced in the morning, and it is reported that the CArlist party lost fifteen in killed and a number of wouuded. Only three officers' aro reported killed on the side of the government troops. tue town of Maasarms a strong party of Garliet also made a demonstration, and subsequently succeoded intercepting railroad trains and cutting the telegraph wires.

The latest accounts state that 4,000 Garliwts had arrived in the Province of La Mancha. and that government troops have boon des patched to the scene of action. This agitation is general tbrough-ought the whole country, and the people are much excited over the late news. No further boetilitie have as yet leon reportod, although it is feared that a general rising will take place all over Spain, now that Don Carlos has crossed the frontier and opened communication with his numerous nartisan.

associates, but suspect that an investigation will disclose the fact that they have already received ample compensation for all the work they have dono for the Company. From the Nebraska City Chronicle Dr. Converse who has control of the building of the Midland Pacfiic, arrived in the city on Saturday. We understand that he has let a con tract for all the bridge between this point and Lincoln," to a gentleman snK aiima ith him livtm ha Anal The necessary timbers and other material are now in transitu, to ar rive next week, when that part of the work will commence in good earnest. The iron for the entire line will be here next month, nd the ties for thirty miles will be delivered during the month of August On Thursday the contract will be let for the grading to Lincoln, to be completed by December first 1869 This gives ample time in which to lay down the iron and run the cars to Lincoln ou the first day of January nest.

N. Converse returned from the East last Saturday evening, and has since been devoting himself to matters connected with the Midland Pacific. While absent, he closed a contract for the building of all tne bridges for the first ten miles of road, to bo completed within the mouth of August, and all the necessary timber has already been purchased. But ono link remains unfilled for the transportation of iron from the seaboard to this city, acd that the Dr. expects to supply within a few days.

The track layer will be here within two or three days, to ece just what he needs to do his work, when he will at once prepare for operations. Owing to the late heavy rains the engineers have been unable to complete their profiles at the time exr pected, and the time for receiving bids for the grading west to Lincoln, has been extended to Friday of this week, when it is expected the con-tracts will be closed. When this is done, Dr. Converse will go East to see in person to the pushing forward of the iron, which will be laid down as fast as men and money can effect such a work. The first of September will find ten miles of the Midland Pacific weather permitting all bridged and graded complete, ready for the iron.

Dr. Hess, assisted by Dr. Thomas and Dr. Kerr, performed a most difficult surgical operation yesterday at the Barnum House. The case was that of H.

A. Graham, from Iowa. The diseased member was aq arm, and it had twice before been amputated. The disease was not thoroughly removed, however, and the third time he came to Dr. Hessi lie had to take the arm off at the shoulder joint, and finding this not samcient to remove the diseased I part he took away also a portion of tho shoulder blade.

We have just received a copr of a curious and interesting bouk late ly issued by the "National publish ing entitled "Life of Jefferson Davis, with a Secret History of the Southern Confederacy, Gathered Behind the Scenes in Eichmond," by Kd ward A. Pollard, author of "Lost Cause," Mr.

PoPard, from his position at the jConfederste Capital, as an an thor and journalist, seems to Jiare had an excellent opportunity to ob serve the inner workings of that curious concern, the of Robcldom, and has improved it by giving tis a book will be ex lensively read.
