MB. EDITOR: In the "Nachrichten
aus Deutschland und der Schweiz," I
read the following thrilling account
of a most heroic rescue by a fireman,
which was happily accomplished, a
few weeks ago, in the city of K?nigs?
berg, in East Prussia:
A " HEUOIO DEED-KONIGSBEHG,
EAST PRUSSIA.-A sad calamity hap?
pened here on the night of July 8th,
About half-post two o'clock, flames
were seen issuing from a large tene?
ment building, the property of Mr.
Goerke, in-street. Some twenty
families living in the house hurried,
under waitings and . lamentations,
into the street, while the efficient fire
department commenced its opera?
tions. Suddenly the cry was raised
that there were still several persons
in the attie, unable to make their
escape, owing to the stifling smoke
and the stairs having caught fire.
An arm was seen stretched out
through a hole in the wall, about
nine inches in diameter, beokoning
for help. The Fire Director left no
means untried to rescue the unfortu?
nate inmates; but all avenues were
out off. Not a second was to be lost.
Tho Fire Director took hold of a lad?
der, intending himself to save the
imperilled lives; but three of the
most daring firemen sprang forward
and undertook tho rescue; fireman
Stenzel took the load. With won?
derful precision and self-possession,
he cUmbed with hand-ladders np the
front of the fonr-story dwelling,
toward the hole in the wall, from
which the arm was still beckoning.
He has reached the fourth story, and
is but half a ladder's length below
the unfortunate man, when, to his
horror, he discovers that be cannot
fasten another ladder, because he
sees not a single object to which to
hook it. A quick understanding
with his two comrades, who have fol?
lowed him, resulted in an under?
taking, which, for bravery and
daring, excels .anything heretofore
known. The ladder was held by his
comrades, while Stenzel began to as?
cend it, and still being four feet from
the opening in the wall, placed him?
self on the very tops of tho side
Eieee a, and in this fearful position,
e begins to widen the hole in the
wall with blows of an axe. But the
flames drew nigh and nigher; tho im
Srisoned man shrieks for help, and
tenzel adds strength to his strokes.
He hands his ate through the hole,
calling to the man to help widen the
aperture from the inside, receives
another from his comrades-and thus
the breach is opened. All of this
while standing on the very ends of
the side-pieues of the ladder, and
having no hold for his support. The
spectators below dare not speak-all
breathing is suppressed, and the
awful suspenso causes heavy drops of
perspiration to fall from their faces.
A shout is heard, louder and louder
still, everybody pressing forward to
see that carried out which, a few
moments before, seemed impossible.
But the mighty, joyous and jubilant
shout which rends the air annonnces
that, although at an imminent risk
of life, the unfortunate man is drawn
ont of his fire-prison, and is oarried
down by his saviors. It was impos?
sible to rescue the other two inmates
of the building. Tho son of the
house-owner, Mr. Goerke, and a
soldier of tho 1st regiment of infan?
try perished-the former being
smothered by the smoke, the other
bnrnt by the flames. The saved one
was also a soldier of the 1st regiment
of infantry.
A fashionable wife Bays Long
Branch is a delightful plaee-for her
husband comes thore only once a
week.
The Mu8catine (Iowa) Courier
says: "A day or two ago, a raftaman,
by tho name of Gore, was Struck by
lightning, near New Boston, and
instantly killed. He had remarked,
! several times on the trip, that he
I would not live through it. During
I the storm, he said he didn't care a
j d-n for any lightning God ever
made. Immediately, the bolt struck
him on the head, and he was a dead
man."
In New Haven, a few days since, a
woman, whoso dress was accidentally
trodden upon, assaulted the man
who committed the deed, demanding
a new dress from him, chasing him
up and down the street, and once
snatching his hat from his head.
Losing him, she ran after his wife,
who secured safety in some hiding
place, and the enraged female finally
subsided and went home.
SPECIAL NOTICES.
SCIENCE A Ll VAN CES.-AS BOOM
as an articlo purporting to be of utility
bas boen tested, and its merits endorsed
by public opinion, unprincipled parties
endeavor to replenish their depleted
purses by counterfeiting and substituting
a spurious for tho genuine articlo. Somo
time since, mercury, in tho disguise of
pills, powdors, Ac, was given for all dis?
eases of the stomach and liver, while qui?
nine was freely administered for the
chills. At length, HOSTETTER'S STO?
MACH BITTERS made its advent, and au
entiro new system of healing was inaugu?
rated. Tho beneficial effects of this vain
ablo preparation were at once acknow?
ledged, and mineral poisons suffered to
sink into that obscurity to which an en?
lightened ago has consigned them. Thero
havo been many spurious Bitters palmed
upon tho community, which, after trial,
have been found perfectly worthless,
whilo HOSTETTER'S has proved a bless?
ing to thousands, who owe to it their
rostoration to health aud strength.
For many years, wo have watched tho
steady progress of HOSTETTER'S STO?
MACH BITTERS in public estimation, and
its beneficent effects as a euro for all com?
plaints arising from tho stomach, of a
morbid nature, and wo aro free to say
that it can ho relied upon as a certaiu
roliof and remedy. Its proprietors havo
mado tho above preparation, after yoars of
careful study and Bitting, and are now
reaping tho reward claimed by this valua?
ble specific, and which they so richly
merit. It is tho only preparation of the
kiud that is reliable in all cases, and it
therefore demands tho attention of tho
afflicted._ _Aug 1 t

THE PIJATFOHM
OT THE
Democratic National Convention.
Tho Democratic party, in National Con?
vention assembled, reposing its trust in
the intelligence, patriotism and diacrirni
nating justice of the people-standing
upon tho Constitution as the foundation
and limitation of tho powers of tho Go?
vernment, and the guarantee of tho Uber?
ties of tho citizen, and recognizing the
questions of slavery and secession as
having been settled, for all time to come,
by the war, or the voluntary action of the
Southern Status, iti Constitutional Con?
ventions assembled, and never to be re?
newed or re-agitated, do, with the return
of peace, demand:
lat. Immediate restoration of all tho
States to their rights in tho Union, under
the Constitution, and of eivil government
to tho American people.
2d. Amnesty for all past political
offences, and the regulation of the elective
franchise in tho States by their citizens.
Sd. Payment of tho public debt of the
United states as rapidly au practicable;
all moneys drawn from tho people by tax?
ation, except so much as is requisite for
the necessities of tho Government, econo?
mically administered, boing honestly ap?
plied to such paymont; and, whore tho
obligations or tho Government do not
expressly state upon their face, or tho
law under which they wore issued does
not provide that they shall bo paid in
coin, they ought, in right and in justice
bo paid in the lawful moncv of tho United
States.
.1th. Equal taxation of every species ol
property, according to its real value, in?
cluding Government bonds and other pub?
lic securities.
5th. One enrroncy for the Government
and tho people, the laborer and the office?
holder, tho pensioner and tho soldier, thc
producer and the bond-holder.
6th. Economy in the administration oi
thc Government; tho reduction of thc
standing army and navy; tho abolition ol
the Freedmen's bureau, and all political
instrumentalities designed to secure
negro supremacy; sim pb tic at ion of thc
s vat em and discontinuance of inquisitori?
al modes of assessing and collecting inter
nal revenue, BO that the burden of taxa?
tion may bo equalized and lessened, thc
credit of tho Government aud tho curren
cy mado good; the repeal of all enact
mente for enrolling the State militia inte
national forces in timo of peace; and i
tariff for revenue upon foreign imports
and such equal taxation, under the intor
nal revenuo laws, as will afford incidenta
protection to domoatic manufactures, an<
as will, without impairing the revenue
impose thc least burden upon and bes
promoto and encourage tho great indus
trial interests of the countrv.
7th. Keform of abuses in tho administra
tlon, tho expulsion of corrupt men fron
oftioe, tho abrogation of uaelcas offices
tho restoration of rightful authority ti
and tho independence of tho execntiv
and judiciary departments of tho Govern
mont, tho subordination of thc military t
the civil power, to the end that th
usurpations of Congress and the detpot
ism of the sword may cease.
8th. Equal rights and protection fo
naturalized and native-born citizens, a
home and abroad; the assertion of Amer:
can nationality which shall command tb
respect of foreign po ivers, and furnish a
example and encouragement to poop!
struggling for national integrity, const
tut iona! liberty and individual rights; an
the maintenance of the rights ol natura
izod citizens against tho absoluto dod ric
of immutable allegiance and the claims <
foreign powers to punish them for alloge
crime committed beyond their jurisdii
tion.
In demanding these measures and ri
forms, we arraign the radical party for il
disregard of right, and the unparallelc
oppreaaion and tyranny which have marl
ca its career. After the most solemn ac
unanimous pledge of both Houses of Coi
gross to prosecute tho war exclusively f<
tho maintenance of thu Government ar
the preservation of tho Union, under tl
Constitution, it has repeatedly violate
that most sacred pledge, under whit
alono was rallied that noble volunte
army, which carried our flag to victory.
Instead of restoring the Union, it ba
so far aa is in Ita power, dissolved it, ai
subjected ten States, in times of profoui
peace, to military despotism and neg
supremacy.
lt bas nullified there tho right of tri
by j orv; it has abolished tho habeas CL
pus, that most sacred writ of liberty;
has overthrown tho freedom of speech ai
tho presa; it has substituted arbitra
ecizurcs and arrests, and military trit
and secret star-chamber inquisitions 1
tho constitutional tribunals; it has dial
garded, in time of peace, tho right of t
peoplo to bo free from searches and se
ure?; it baa entered tho poet and telegra
offices, and even the privato rooms of
dividuals, and seized their privato pap<
aud leiten*, without any speci?e chargu
notice of aflidavit, as required by tho i
gauic law; it has converted the Amelie
capitol into a bastile; it baa established
system of spies and official espionage
which no constitutional monarchy of I
ropo would now dare to resort; it bas al
baned tho right of appeal on importe
constitutional questions to tho supre
judicial tribunals, and threatens to c
tail or destroy its original juriadicti
which ia irrevocably vealed by tho Com
tution, while the learned Chict Just
bas boon subj.u-ted to tho moat atrocii
calumnies, merely because he would
prostitute his high ellice to the support
the false and partizau charges prefer
against tho President. Its corruption i
extravagance have exceeded anytb
known m history, and by ita frauds i
monopolies it has nearly doubled tho I
don of the debt created by the war. It
stripped the President of bis const it ut i
al power of appointment ?ven of his <
Cabinet. Under ita repeated assaults,
pillars of the Government are rocking
their base, and should it Bucceed in
vemhor next, and inaug?rate ita Presid?
we will moot, as a subjected and conque
peoplo, amid the ruins of liborty and
scattered fragments of the Constltut
and we do declare and resolve that, ?
since the people of the United Kt
threw off all subjection to tho Bri
crown, the privilege and troat of aufft
have belonged to the several States,
have been granted, regulated and ?
trolled exclusively by the political pc
of each State respectively, and that any
attempt by Congress, on any pretext what?
ever, to deprive any State ol this right, or
to interfere with ito exercise, is a flagrant
usurpation of power which can find no
warrant in the Constitution: and, if sanc?
tioned by the people, will subvert our form
of Government, and can only end in a
single centralized and consolidated Go?
vernment, in which tho separate existence
of the States will be entirely absorbed, and
an unqualified despotism "bo established
in place of a Federal Union of co-equal
States; aud that we regard t he reconstruc?
tion Acts (so-called) of Congress aa such
are usurpations, and unconstitutional, re?
volutionary, and void; that our soldiers
and sailors, who carried the flag of our
country io victory againat a most gallant
and determined foe, must over be grate?
fully remembered, and all the guarantees
given in their favor must be faithfully car?
ried into execution.
That tho public lands sbonld be distri?
buted aa widely as possible among the
people, and should be disposed of either
under the pre-emption of homestead lands,
and sold in reasonable quantities, and to
none but actual occupants, at the mini?
mum prico established by the Government.
When grants of tho publio lands may be
allowed, necessary for the encouragement
of important public improvements, the
proceeds of the sale of Buch lands, and not
tho lauds themselves, should be so ap?
plied.
Tbat tho President of the United States,
Andrew Johnson, in exercising the power
of his high office in resisting tho aggres?
sions of Congress upon tho constitutional
rights of tho States and tho people, is en?
titled to tho gratitude of the whole Amcri
can people, and in behalf of tho Democra?
tic party, wo tender him our thanks for his
patriotic efforts in that regard.
Upon this platform, the Democratic
party appeal to every patriot, including all
tho conservative element and all who de?
sire to support tho Constitution and re?
store the Uuion, forgetting all past differ?
ences of opinion, to unite with us in the
present groat Btrugglo for tho liberties of
tho people; and that to all snob, to what?
ever party they may havo heretofore be?
longed, wo extend the right hand of fel?
lowship, and hail all such co-operating
with us as friends and brethren.

An excellent Paper for Country Beading.
ITS POLITICS DEMOCRATIC
IN THE OBEAT EIGHT
AGAINST KADICAL USUUPATIOS.
TO TBE PEOPLE OF TEE SOUTE.
THE WEEKLY GLEANER-Devoted to
the rehabilitation of the South in ita former
prosperity-ia offered to subscribers at tho
low rato of $1.50 for six months.
Tho annals of tho American Republic
ahow no political campaign comparable in
tho magnitude of its issues and tho mo?
mentousness of its results to that for the'
Presidency, now pending. Indeed, tho
very life of free government is oh trial,
and it will bo a sad commentary on tho
capaoity of the people for tho exorcise of
that high trust if they, tho jurors who aro
to try tho issue, pronounce a verdict of
self-condemnation. If the South has any
hope it is in the success of the Democratic
party, in the coming Presidential election;
and every citizen is vitally interested in
the progress of the battlo, and cannot
afford to bo without a sound and reliable
newspaper.
As an organ, not only of sound Demo?
cratic priaciples, but as a vehicle of ge?
neral news, the GLEANER ia confidently
commended to Southern support. A largo
eight-page paper, of forty-eight columns,
filled with tho contributions of ablo cor?
respondents, the daily wealth of tele?
graphic communication and readable edi?
torials. Especially will it bo valuablo as
an organ to disabuse the Northern mind
of the falsehoods in relation to Southern
thought and actions, with which it is the
industrious vocation of certain parties to
poison the springs of Northern fo ling on
Southern subjects. In this view of the
matter, no moro valuable aid to tue true
reconstruction of thc country and restora?
tion of just sentiment at the North toward
the South can bo rendered than by sub?
scribing to the WEEKLY GLEANER and
sending it to acquaint ai rea and friends in
tho Northern States.
Wo ask the aid of such of our political
comrades as shall seo this prospectus, in
tho distribution of tho paper; especially
during tho progress?,.v?f',-the impending
campaign, '. S-??v\v, ..
