CHAIMESTON, February 13, 1858. Although "the Races " have Lad their day, and many of our visitors with whom they constituted the main attraction have departed, we are not left withoit ample resources of enjoyment for all who remain. The gaieties have indeed barely commenced, and eve ning entertainments are as much the order of the prtsent and the next, as of the opening gala-week of the season. We hoar of nothing but balls and parties and frolics, while the preachers are remonstrating from the pulpits, warning of the near approach of " Lent," and rewinding those of their hearers who have formally "renounced the pomy's and vanities," as well as the majority who have failed to do so, that the great objects of life are not exclusively confined to those ';ildcd balls" where they "Dance all night Till broad day light, And go hoie with the girls in the norning." Some startling appeals and a good deal of very plain talk have been rung into the unwilling cars of the beaux and belles at Church, " going in at one side and coming out at the other," while the restless list eners are counting up last night's conquests and lay ing new snares for to-morrow night. Every place of amusement, good and bad, draws its little crowd, and the Churches look as much like flower-garder.s and variety-stores, as it is possible for millinors and dress makers to naike them. The second St. Cecilia Ball coUtes off at St. Andrew's Hall on Tuesday evening next. The " Coryphaans " announced their third vocal and instumenLal Concert for Wednesday evening last. Their corps of singers * and performers has been largely extended by the tad mission of a full choir of ladies, whose sweet tor.cs now relieve the monotony, so much complained of in some quarters, occasioned by the employment of male voices exclusively at the opening concerts. T-o the efforts of this enterprising Association we are indebted for much of the increasing interest in musi-, recently awakened in this City. * Signor Blitz, the Veatriloquist, performed here on nay and ueseday to waindering crowrls.i eft" us with a great many good wishes from the press for his health and happiness, and if inexhaustible racili ties of amusing himself at the expense of any un lucky wayfarer he may meet, can contribute to either, he ought to laugh and grow fat wherever the fates may conduct him. The Campbell Minstrels have been showing up the " darkey" characer at the Theatre. They are held in very high estimation here, in, their place; but as the immediate successors of the English Opera Troupe, the policy of the arrpngeme~nt mtay appear in the eyes of sensitive Crities to admit of discussion. Williams' Panoramua of the Bible is on exhibition at the Institute flail. It will doubtless attract atte tion. 'The scene opens with " Chaos," and continuaes down in historical order to the Unabylonishi Captivity, illustrating some fifty of the most sublimne and inter esting events in Biblical H~istory. Such exhibitions as this are instructive as well as entertaining, and should be encouraged. Max Marctzek is expected here on Monday evening with the Italiona Opera Company fronm the Tacon Theatre, Ihavana, consisting of Gazzanagga, Amodio, Brignoli, and other great Artists. The Troupe will perform at the Theatre during a portion of next week. Heniry M. Law, Esaj., of Savannah, has been lee turing at the Ilibernian IHall on " the Intellectual and Literary Prospecets of America." The Chameber of Commerce had their Anniversary dinner on Monday. Col. A. A. Andrews, the active and energetic incumbent of the Office, was re-elected President. The Anniversary meeting of the Young Men's Christian Association took place on Saturday evening 6th, and the Society re-elected their zealous President and untiring advocate of its interests, to the respon sible position which he has so faithfully filled for sev eral years past. The public exercises of this Associ ation are advertised for to-morrow evening, when Ad-. dresses are to be delivered by Rev. C. C. Pinckney, and Rev. J. L. Girardeau. Tuesday 9th was the first day of the Annual meet ing of the South Carolina Rail Rload Company. The session lasted two days. Resolutions were passed that the management of the Rioad should be conducted with the view to tihe reduction of the (lebt of the com pany uas soon nts practicable. A Resolution was adopted dispensing with Annual Clergy Tickets, and allowing Clergymen of all denorninations to pass over the Road at half price, when on ofiicial duty. The Charleston Preparatory Medical School re opens its Courses of Lectures on the first Monday in April. A new Mechanical enterprise is on foot, for which Mr. WV. A.

'Specimens already made by this machinery are ex hibited at Mr. (lourdin's Office in State Street. Our comnmunity has sustained a severe bereavement in the sudden death of one of its must esteemed cler gymen, whose name has been long identified witht al most every public movement for the welfare of his fellow citizens. I allude to the Rev. Samuel Oilman, D. D., the venerable Pastor of the Unaitarian Church. Ijeloved as he was by those imediatety under lhis ec clesiastical guardianship, or bound to him by varioaus tics of associated fraternity,the death of this univer sally admired P'relate will long be muraped na a pub. lie loss; while the Church in whose ministrations he spent his valuable life, the cause of Tempernceo, Ed. ucation andl Literature, and tiue social circle of which his meek gentle spirit and chaste, refined intellect ren dered him a bright ornament, will each realize that it has lost a distinguished leader, zealous advocate and generous friend. Among the fashionable on dfits of the times ise an annoncement in the Savannah ptapers that " the Red Petticoat," to which I paid my respects in my last, has actually appeared on the streets of our sister City. The "Gcorylcan" says, it is "to be seen prome nading between the hours of 4 and 6 P. M., on the dollar and a hcalf aide of our gaudy promenade ren. deavous." I do not know to which side of our King Street prpmienade this "dollar and a half" depart ment corresponds, but shall watch carefully the Weat side with great expectations, this being par excellence, s.by common consent, the side where the crowd most do congregate.

We conclude this week the publication ef Mr. nrca's speech on the Bank Question, as delivered y that gentleman during the last session of the South 'arolina Legislature. Those who have read it, will a~ve seen that it is creditable to its author in many aspects. The debate was one which elicited no marked trest, although there were sundry speeches of more r les merit which the occasion called forth. Among hese, Mr. G anco's was not the least effective. Pre edod by a reputation for exporiness in money matters, is views were looked for with interest; nor did ho l to meet the expectations of his hearers. In our wn opinion, this effort is the best production of Mr. laeO-s pen,-certainly far superior, in logical so nence and consistent reasoning, to his Rail Road peech of the pareviouts session. "A LI4t'ORS DEALER." We have a purpose in admitting the elusion of 'A Liquor Decalsr" into our columns ; neither is that urpse at varinnee with temperance and morality.

DEt CoL.-I propose, if it should meet your ap probation and that of your numerous readers in "old Edgefield," to give you from time to time, as oppor tunity offers, my observations on the affairs of the nation, as they develop themselves here in the Fede ral metropolis. The Kansas question, of all others at this time, in torests the South most, and is now before Congress in a tangible shape. Yesterday the President sent in the Lecompton Constitution, accompanied by a Mes sage strongly recommending its acceptance. This Message is one of the ablest state paperseverwritten. It covers the whole ground. The President's defence of the legality of the Lecompton Constitution is com plete and unanswerable. His argument in favor of the admission of Kansas under that Constitution, is equally irresistable. The President, in the stand he has taken on this important question, will be sup ported by the unanimous South, and all good men at the North. It cannot be denied however that many Northern Democrats will follow the "Little Giani." Judge Douglass. Strong efforts are being mam1de hero by Douglass' friends to sacrifice the South fo.r the sake of peace and harmony in the Democratic party. I, for one, hoie and trust, for the sake of the South, that they will fight every inch of ground upon this Katnsus question. The administration msit be ust:taiued ani Knnsas admitted under the Lemcoupton Constitution. If the South, as she is asked to do, has to sucrifice principle and every thing else to nake the Northern Democrats stick to the party, I any ict them go. If the country is not now in as delilora iWe crisis, it never was. The speeches which followed the iessage in botk Houses furnish evidence of deep agitation on this subject. It is impossible to tell at this time what will be the fate of thu Kunsas question in the Ilouse. The issue repends upon the action of some ten or a dozen mem bers who have not defined their position. If 24 N.orthiern Democrats go with Douglass the measure will be dceeated. As yet but 17 have formally com-i itted themselves against admission. These 17 mem ters are confident of defeating the Lecompton Consti tution, but they calculate upon the co-operation of ten 7 r twelve memnbers alluded to above. The Washing on correspondents of the New York Tibunea concede hat the administration will be sustained in the [Iouse. It is likely that a bill will be introduced to admit ,.tih Kansas and Minnesota at the seine tinme. The r Doglass men will support this plan, if they find they annot defeat the admission of Kansas. Indeod it is ossible that Douglass himself may avail himself of ~ he opportunity thus offered to recede from the wrong ierstood that he is just, beginning to realize the ex ent of his self-destruction. It is currently rumnorod that the President designs emioving from oflice the partizans of Douglass in Illi-b nis, to make room for Administration Democrats.( Tue anti-D)ouglass Democrats of that State are in b rvor of such a course. I do not know whether orr ot the President will yield to the wishes of hisfriends iu Illinois on this subjet. Bunt the rusuor is that he will do so, and has greatly alarmed Douglass, and ay modify hi's opposition to the administration. Three Southern Senators will vote against the ad- 1 iission of Kansas, Crittenden, Dell and Houston-f ll Know Nothings. The proposition however will pass' the Senate. There is little doubt that thn Lawrence, Stone & Co., investigatig Co:nmaittee will expose a good deal sf rascality before they are done. The general im presion is that it will be proven that ex-Speakor Banks handled a considerable pile of that $37,000. o much for men in high places. Alure hereafter. PA LMETTO. Ahsour NEwvsrPEs.-It is dtue to our friends, the Postmasters, to state that Postmaster General has recently decided that if Postmasters do not I ive publishers of newspapers notice that theiri papers remain in the postotlice without being ta ken out by the subscribers, within live wveeks, they are liable for pay. Speaking of newspaipers, weo obiserve that Judge Closser, of the Probate Court, of Windsaor, Vt., has decided that a good family newspaper is one of the necessary articles for the support of a fam ily, during the settlement of' an estate, and as such, the administrator, in insolvent estates, is justifiable in paying for one-the widow to make her own selection of what paper she will have. We moreover observe that a new law on the press has comec into force in Denmark, prohibit ing newspapers from copying the articles of oth er jornals without credit. All of these decisions will meeut the unqualified approbation of the press.-Carolina Times. BALE1NGo CoTroN wITH IttoN Hoors.-It ap pears that the ladies have not a monopoly in the modern usc or application of hoops, for we no tied yesterday at lBustin & Wtalker's warehouse a bale of cotton vecry neatly- attired with six gal vaized iron hoops. The application of iron hoops, in the place of rope, for holding the bale of Cottoni, is an invention of Mr. D. MIcComb, and has many warm advocates among planters, warehousemen, cotton packers, shippers, and others. We do not know anything about the su perior advantages claimed for iron hoops over ood hemp bale rope, but we think the present a favrable opportunity for our citizens ansd plant ing frietnds to see a bale of cott~on packed in the nw style, and they cant do so by calling at Buts tim & Walker's warehouse.-Augu'sta Constilu tionaist.

The great issue, the on, of the present (perhaps the last) Session o ngross, is that of the admission or rejection of K a naa uder the Lecomp. ton Constitution. For the X ion; the President of the Union occupies.the vi2_snpportod by almost all the Southern membersA . a goodly number of sound headed Northerne r the rejection, Black Republicanism unfurls it i 'backed (to its own evident amazement,) by doiass and his dupes. The struggle will be a derate one. The element of Abolitionism will be wr it up to its highest pitch by its frenriod high And the ambition of power scarcely led the lious arch-angel to more daring resolves than I,- .1 beget in the heart of the so-called "Giant of thest." To meet these dangerous influences, JA i CeANAN stands forth fortified with the triple pa of Truth, Justice and the Constitution; the good,!4nd sound men of the North have solemnly resolved to sustain him in his noble course of isdependei , uty; and, last but not least, the insulted South i.now arrayed in solid column, prepared to meet tl. issue like patriots, with out excitement, without bigraess, but with the un flinching determination toIe'dno more to the ag gressions of an avowed. The contest must then be a powerful one, ant.nighty in its results, for weal or for woe. The adoption of HAR wsolutions, of Enquiry and Investigation, is ft being regarded by Southern members a rejoio. of the Lecompton ap plicatioi. It is not even, s:was at first said, consid ered equivalent to its postponement to another Session. Mr. Speaker Ona has app- the Committee under the Resolutions; and th mmittee are already at work. There would seemto be no doubt of their preparing their report, in &ewto act upon it before the adjournment next Sunder. Such is the calcula tion at Washington. Wolare therefore to expect the decision of this issue by CIdgress within a few months at the farthest. Let then the Represonts tYes of the South stand firm upon the high grouu they occupy beforo the world. Let them announpi to the country their plat form, with a distinctness tbt will admit of no mis construction. Let them cobiort their plans and devise the line of action they will take, should Kansas be deliberately rejected on ai6ount of the slavery ques tion. Let them perfect A4:publish to the American people this proposed action, and the reasens of its adoption,-not threateni4*, but dispassionately, and with the intent of avoiding (if possible) a dissolution of the Union. Let themcall upon the enlightened world to witness, that they are moving upon high principle and for the rightful conservation of their political and social institgens. And, over and above all, let every man of the' f pledge his life, his for tune and his sacred hondj to the stern and unfalter ing use of all his powerd the attainment of that great ed. Thus will th outh, through her Sena tors and Representatives, -pear in the strength and majesty of her own good use. Thus, will the poo ple of the South be br t to rally around their leaders with one unite hout of approval. Thus will we triumph, and sav thl Union and ourselves. But undefined and doubiM measures, and ill-concer tod councils, will but Jud in further compromises and the further degrada on of our soection. "A long pull, and a strong pull, aid a pull all together," should now be the Southern watchward. Imprpveaents. Hearing that the ladiei of our Baptist Congrega tion had set their headso -improving their Church and Church-yard, we Walked in that direction a few mornings since, and foid all that we had heard to be true. The interior oe House is freshly painted, in good style; and the 'yfd has been laid off with a. riew to cultivating shrti ery and fiowers amongst the graves of the depar l. The rearing of rich ever reens over the tombs o3 the dead, has ever occurred to us as being a most ep ropriate tribute of affection, amblematic, as they ai-sbtof constancy and hope, :onstancy in the at "nints of life, end hope for their renewal in a big~ ansd better world.

We can scarcely realize the continued existence of the Patriot with-ut Mnbor Pxaar at its helm, so inscparably and so foreihy associated have they been from the first morning ii which that paper saw the light. Our impiulse is, ta enter a pirotest against this severance of old ties. Jut we suppose it is one of those things that must hippen to all papers and all men alike. lBe it so. It parting from the distin guished editor of the Pariot, we accord to him the palm of success in this difficult department of the literature of the day. Enw papers have been more eagerly sought aftcr, or rad with more pleasure, than the.I'otriot of the past aven years. Though differ ing from its editor on sudry political points, we now do him hut justice in ayng that he bas ever taken his grounds with manibes and maintained them with uniwavering consistacy.

The announcement, yesterday, of the death of Col WAnZ HAxIroN, (says the Charleston Jercuirt, of the 13th inst.,) occasioned equal sorrow and surprise in our-community, in which he had mingled bat a shor time previously, and apparently ii his usual healti and spirits. Col. HAMPros, by his many high and generous qualities, his large ho.4pitality, his dignified and ceurteous bearing, was one of the representative men of the State, and was esteomed and admired wherever known. He was taken sick on the Missis sippi river, and was landed at Natches, where he die on the night of the 10th instant. Ilis remains are on the way to Columbia, in charge of his son, C. F H.urTON, Esquire. JOHNSON'S NEW MAP. Having examined this map with some degree o care and scrutiny, we are prepared to speak of it more fully than in a previous notice. It. is certainly th most extensive map of our country yet published. Ir addition to the United States and Territories, there is also given, in one corner of the broad sheet, a vera satisfactory map of the world, exhibiting the relative position of each hemisphere, and showing at a glance not only both sides of the Atlantic but of the Pacifi ocean also. On the main map, the lines of the new ter ritories seem to be faithfully and accurately drawn The railroad routes throughout the whole country are also laid down, and the projected routes, including the several schemes of the great Pacific Road, that is to be. The coloring of the map is brilliant and its typo graphical execution as distinct as need be. Indeed, taking all its features into view, Jouasox's New Map strikes us as being an admirable work. As such we commend it to our readers. It will make a handsome and inost useful addition to the furniture of every intelligent citizen's hall. The agent, Mr. JobsoS, is at present in our Dis trict, and will call around as generally as possible. We beg to bespeak for him a favorable reception. "THE REACTION." The reader's attention is pointed to the following very cheering paragraph from the Charleston Evening News, of the 8th instant: "The times are improving. The prices of Ameri can produce are advancing. Cotton has again reached a paying point, and assumed steadiness at all points. It has also commenced to come forward freely, and planters, with a certainty of remunerating rates, can now powerfully aid in effecting and sustaining a mon etary reaction. The banks of Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington have just resumed specie payments, following the previous action of those of New York, whose money plethora begins to find relief in even low rates of interest-lees than 6 per cent. on first class paper. A similar condition and process exhibit themselves in England. France still earlier recovered her equilibrium, and the return of confidence through out Europe is marked in its progress. Consols have gone up to over 95, showing that capitalists, where they can have confidence, are assenting to the most moder ate rates of interest. The advices from Manchester are favorable, and trade indicates revived activity and steadiness. The receipts of gold from California and Australia continue full, and the flow of a re-swelling credit is everywhere felt. Our cotemporary has watched the moneyed crisis with constant concern, and from his position, is ena bled to ostimate shrewdly its probable duration and re sults. That he has reckoned aright in his present ob servations, is most earnestly to be hoped. With him, we think the indications decidedly good for a happy clearing-up of the financial 'spell,' which has hung so gloomily over the people for the last six months. In the country, as in the cities, matters are becoming easier every day. The rise in the cotton market will at once throw a large amount of bank bills into cir culation. The crop will be no longer held back. Every planter will sell, and ought to sell. If he has no debts to pay on his own account, he probably has friends who have. To these he might lend his funds on good soecurity, at 10 per cent if he will niot do so for less. The moneyed troubles of '57 andl '58 may end in a happy jubilee, if every one will thus act. Such in point of fact is the course now being adopted by the planters. On our side of the Stato there has not b~ecn, after all the thireats to creditors, anything like the sueing that was anticipated. Return-day, for Edgefield at least, is passed, and no great harm done. hundreds of thousands,-of indebtedness, will be liquidated amongst us by the proceeds of the large remaining portion of, our cotton crop. At 12b cents per pound, there is enough of the staple yet unsold to mnake money abundant. The cotton-buyers in Hamburg are up to the mark, as usual; the Hamburg Bank too is liberal in furnishing thenm the means of paying full prices. And Hambhurg money, suspension or no suspension, is as good as Mr. Dorn's gold in these parts. Treasury Notes could be no better. On ly let there be enough of it, and all will be well. We warmly congratulate our readers upon the promising appearances of the hour, and wish thenm a happy is. sue out of their monetary afflictions. Do You Wish to Learn the French'I The trustees of' the Edgefieldl Male Academy have the opportunity of engaging a superior teacher of French. They cannot do so upon the proceeds of their school solely. The assistance of a class or classes out side is necessary to secure the services of the teacher they have in view. Hie is an educated Frenchnmn, and by character a gentleman. All who desire to take adlvantage of the opportunity now within reach, w~ill please report their namecs, this ur.e, to Major (G. A. AnDIsorS, Secretary Board Trustees, Edgefieldl Male Academy. We can then soon tell whether ,re are to have a French teache-r or not. The Commaittee. The Committee appointed under the Resolution of Mr. Haunns, to tatke into consideration certain points i Kansas affairs, consistsot' seven Black Republicans, rne Know Nothing, and seven Democrats. It thus ppears that the Know Nothing holds the b~alance of power, and, without enquiring, we take it far granted that he is sound upon the nigger question. Among th Demnocrats are the two wheel-horses, QUITxAN and SE::Eas. The fairnesswith uthich this Com dmittee is ontituted, will make their adjtudication of the qlues ions referred to theun Iinaml in effect, ptrovided there e any thing like a general agreement among them. THE SCHIOOLMASTERI ABROAD. It is a little curious to observe the peculiarities of rthography which take possession of the natural and amedncated mind in different localities. The follow ng is a spesimaen from sosme remote corner of a sister [istrict,-the District which erst was recognized uin Ir the appellation of Sare Gothc,, and which, in oint of intelligence and taiste, is now steadily if not apidly progressive.

For thc Advertiser. LIQUOR SELLING. MR. EDITOR :-I know that you are an honest man, and always like the fair thing. You were kind enough to say of us that we fairly gained the " wet ticket" on last town election. I hope you will still be kind enough to let us be heard through your col umns. I wish to answer a piece of stuff which ap peared in your last over " S." about liquor matters. Now, Mr. " S." a word to you sir; what sir, is your rule of morals as a citizen of South Carolina? Is it South Carolina law? That is my rule-my law; but isee you are a Seward-man. You go for "h.igher law." I acknowledge that the license law of the State al lows the council to go higher or lower as they may judge best ; but my object is to show that you, so far as the town council is concerned, are a -higher law man, may be an abolitionist. The town council has given us license to retail. They knew it would do good ; so they did it. So far as I and my brother re tailers are concerned, we have gone into it for our - eiea~l nSvantare and good_, and not for charity. There are some of uis,rf know, a tattue squeamirsh about making the confession ; but I am a plain man, a South Carolinian, (i. e. I live here,) a free-man, and will speak what I please; sa that I "speak truth and shame the Devil," (if there be a personal DeviL) Do you think sir, that we are such fools as not to know the influenco of liquor-drinking ? You reason that it will "injure heailth." Do you think liqour dealers are such asses as not to know it ? You talk of " weeping widows," " ragged orphans," and so on, as if you were lecturing a school-girl to make her cry. Now sir, let mec tell you, my calling is made of "stcrn er stuff;" I know all the namby-panmby talk about wasted health, and wealth, and mind, and morn~ds, nnd the purity of society ; I know it is all true, every word of it, and more ton. But let me tell you, sir, that we sell lignor.t/at tre may make money. We would! all like the business better, if these evils didl Rot follow; but we take the money, and let those who patronise us, take the evils. (Now if the Editor were in my bar room, I should stop writing and say "let's liquor up.") I will let you know, sir, we have a strong bold on the community. Don't the ladies drink syllabub? do't mntromns have their cooking with liquor? Don't churebh folks drink drains? Didn't some of them vote the "Wet ?" Donn't even somme of your great temper ance men argue for our side now ? Don't all this heclp us?' I heard of a prem:her not lung since who preached against frolieking, (I don't belong to his cun gregation,) and if I had kept conmpany with his mem bers, I should have heard some oft them not a week afer say, no doubt, "he did imore harm than good by it." So it is with liquor,-I have no doubt anuy have said of your trash, "it will do niore harm than good." You threaten us with Hell and Damnation in Eter nity, sir. I will have you to know that there is no Hll and Damnation in Eternity. Some of the best citizens of this town, sir, of education too, can prove there is no Hell the other side of Jordan. And if I make money in ie, I will risk hereafter. Now, sir, I will advise you to save your efforts to bing us to tears in fear of your Devils and Damna tions. Make those efforts to your granny, who be lieves in witches, ghost' and devils, and make her stop her groanings for her grand son, who was stabbed in a drunken frolic at College. I hear the dimzes chinek into my tin-box when the men and boys ask for a drink--and shall I stop for'your say so ? Now, 1 tell you, sir, that you might as well " whistle jigs to a mile-stone and expect it to dauce," as stop me by " 0 turn sinner turn, Why will you die ?" I just give you a little taste this time. If you grunt again, you may hear from A LIQUORI DEALER. P. S.--All Editors who love liquor will please copy the above, and whoa they come to town, call and get the best gratis. L. D. Edgeflld, S. C., Feb. 8th, 1858. HARD TIMES--A REMIEDY One good result is certain to follow this general overturn. The mania for overtrading and extravagaut expenditure has received a salutary check. When men got once more fairly on their legs experience will have taught them a useful lesson. The recklessness of trade will scarcely be repeated in view of the prob able contingencies of reverse. Fashionable folly will comport itself severely. As a remedy against all the disasters which this state of affairs has occasioned, we recommed the disappointed to try their luck in S. Swan A Co's legalized lottery, which draws every Saturday at Augusta, Ga. The whole of a fortunate ticket will entitle the possessor to the capital prize of $70,000, while the holder of a half or quarter will F ecure a proportionate share of the same. Ticket' SI, 5 and 2j. 41 ] Gvti THE WEIr TO A Paixcuss.-Ani English paper has the followin"g:--Among the presents made to the Princess Royal of' England, on her late wedding day was a riding whip, the butt of ~ which is forme from a piece of the hoof of a avorite horse, set in gold. It is said the shoe of olden hoof is formed of diamonds, the nails rep esented by fourteen beautiful rubies ; the whole , >f the bottom of the foot is amass of email dia- a ionds; the handle of the whip is formed from one of the horse's bones, most highly plsed, round which is trimmed a serpent im bliant. ExPLosroN AND BURNING OE.TCOL.CB - .tr.-A inost'melnlioly iirdifadfi happened to the steamer Col. Crossmaii Thursday night last, about, eightb'clock' whei ofr New Madrid, Missouri, by which theidot cargo, and many lives were lost. 7 The Col. Crosasman was a-issounnyer boat,. coimmanded by Capt. Baker, and wabound from. New Orleans to St. Louis, with a valuable cargo and about one hundred and twenty-five passen gers. exclusive of her officers and crew. When opposite New Madrid, on Thursday-night, her doctor boiler exploded, without, howevercausing any injury to those on board, but the'accident rendered the machinery totally unmanageable, and the boat taking fire immediately, the names spread with such rapidity as to envelope the whole vessel in a sheet of fire.. Th eo' ple of the town seeing the accident, put off.m skifs, and succeeded in saving about one htindred and. twenty-five persons. It was estimated by th'e people who assisted in rescuing the passengers, that from twenty to fifty persons-lost their lives by the fire or from drowning. Many of those who were rescued from the water were badly frost-bitten. The Southerner arrived at the scene of the accident before the Crossman was entirely con sumed, but too late to render any material assis tance. The steamer was burned to the water's edge. The Crossman was comparatively a new boat, having come off the stocks about two years ago, and was valued at about $40,000.-fem. phis Bulletin. ___ NY IE NJIAL. MAnaiED, at Marion C.
