At u ipiarler pn t six O'Clock on Wednesday evening the .Stonewall reached a point opposite Keeley's I.auditif, oneTlundred and twenty miles below SL Louis. THE FIRST ALAHM. Hero the cry or "Ure" waa glvcu by4fieorthc deck passengers, who shouter! to George W. Pul ton, tlie llrflt engjtjcer, then on duty, darkness lind set In und tuc aim in came with a terrible sig nificance. The boat was al u point v-here thc river ls one and a hair miles wide, with much that was combustible on board, anJ with no means or escape except what might'wHrhtulucd by running thc vessel against tho ha.i)i. Pulton rushed out amt saw a bale or tiny in tile aft por tion of the boat burning. So shiull wrU tho lire that lt could have been extinguished wira one or two buckets or water ir they had bun ut hand tint these were uot there. ' * SI'HEAn OF THE FLAMES). Tho ha> was piled up to ibo boiler rtccV and thc flamen spread with great rapidity, oxlcpging rront bale to bale or hay, commuulcntlug noa to thc dry woodwork or thc bout, and lt was -seen at a glance that thc Stonewall was doomed. Thc majority or thc deck passengers, were at thc time congregated aft, and a panie which ..rendered them powerless to do anything to prevent thc im pending liest ruction ensued among tl: JUL fulton tuft his engines, and. unaided, except"9fy one or two persons, essayed to prevent thc spread of thc devouring element. Ile got thc section hose and went over to thc donkey cnglno to a! Ly Kt it. His oQ'orts were, however, fruitless. Tho ptople had become fruntlo, and moved rapidly in a dense stream forward. Fulton round that he could not advance alt one step and he gave lt up jp despair. Previous to this he hod shouted through Hie speaking trumpet tn Fulkcrson, tho pilot, to land thc bout as soon as possible. The boat wis round ing 'owards the Missouri bank when lt grounded on a reel called Tea Table bar, and remained Im movable some two hundred yards from tho shore, with deep water Intervening.' In live minutes after the alarm tho flames lind ox ternlea over nil . thc nit portion iud n considerable part tit thc rur ward portion or thc boat. The deck asaengers rushed toward Hie forecastle, every Irf u of which was -covered willi shrieking and dro'idfully af frlghted mass of humanity. To cortPlctc the general consternation, thc mules dnsl-ed nmong the people, trampling on mid crushing them to death. T PASSENGERS l.KAT INTO THE RIVB.R. While this scene wns transpiring op thc main dock, what were the cabin passengers titling r They had just set down lo supper when a terrible turmoil arose, and they leann d at once that the boat was on lire, tn thut awful m tommi they vainly looked Kira loophole to esen (Arnim the fule which threatened them, below. u.t and for ward there was a fut naco or untold fierceness, and on each side there was a waste of waters, winch, indeed, offered a preferable fftte to thc other. Thc cabin passengers choose to accept thc risk or a milder rate, and they Jumped from thc boiler deck Into thc water.- chasm, between land und laud, below. Thc deck passengers also leaped lalo thc river, as they became -more and more hotly pressed by thc flames. lu Un minutes from thc lirai alarm, the Stonewall wa? enveloped lu Haines from stem to :Uort^.<'ron in..ln deck to uviuv-a -..^L-Agfc-^liyre. lly this time ull who could 'lailtfjBr^BP'the .boat abd were struggling ror lire lu the rapid eurrcata-A"cry ww wot cable ho juive themselves:. Thn.aJ T|hjiafurlty were, lt ls feared, drowned ahuostlmmcOiateiy.' EFFORTS TO^ESCATE. AVhllc thc deck passcngcrt**and crew were hud dled together on thc forecastle, n, P. Watson tho carpenter of thc boat, endeavored to get some or them to assist him In putting tho stage plank overboard, lt-would have floated, lt was believed, one hundred persons to the laud, but thc passen gera were smirk helpless by thc prospect or thc horrible fate staring them In tho face, and failed to launch thu plank. Fifteen feet of ll ivas push ed over thc side. About twenty persons got on ll, some were pushed oil', mid about sixteen mair aged to cling to it until they were taken on* In v skin* which was sent from thc shore. Fulton, tin engineer, stayed at lils post until bc was driven from lt by thc Dames, and jumped ovcrboarl. Ile started to swim towards the land, but found thc mules so numerous tn thc water that ho could make no progress, and so swam Into thc wheel-house. He clung here in fancied security until thc lines holding thc levers burned mr and the wheel commenced to revolve. It made three revolutions, and he was caught by lt and con siderably bruised. nur ONS SKIFF AVAILABLE. There was only one skiir available tn take pas sengers from the burning wreck, lt inndc seve ral trips from thc boat to tho laud, besides tic ing thc means or iseape for those on thc stage plank, lt was used to take Fulton from lils peril Ions position. He was tho last brought away; af ter that no one escaped from thc boat. It was feared that some, hemmed In by thc Hames, were burned to death, ami ! um.., had it that some met with such a dreadful fate In the cabin. How ninny, will never bo known, lt cnn only he hoped that they all succeeded In Jumping Into thc river and got to shore. The coal oil-fortunately not a large quantity-and thc bacon burned very fiercely. Thc Stonewall wns burned to the wa ter's edge tn about one hour and a half after tho fire was discovered. Hut long before this there wan no living soul lu it. A TEHP.IDLE SCENE. Tho scone was a terrible one-ono never to bo forgotten by thc survivors. The lamen tat ions, groans and shrieks or dying men and women, mingled with thc noise of thc cracking timbers, and, to Intensify thc horror of the moment, burn ing spars, fenders mid beams, fell over Into thc water, where nearly two hundred human beings were trying to save themselves from tho jaws of death. Atn FROM TOE SHORE. There were numbers of pcoplo on thc shore who hud Hocked from thc houses In thc neighbor hood of thc landing, but they wera unable to give any assistance except what a few could render with-the tiny ekiir before meal toned. They saw many an unfortunate passenger taking his Inst leap, and, aa some who had managed to get hold or a spar or piece of timber drifted from the wreck, they eagerly sought to give a helping hand to some poor fellow as he neared the shore. The people did all they possibly could to mitigate tho horrors or tho night, and at dur rent points of thc river, for a mlle below, assisted persons to get on shore. Tho number so saved, lt ls regret ted, was but small. STAT HURST OP Mn. IL A. PnELIU. lt. A. Phelps, Ksti., of Shreveport, La., states that there were a largo mun her or laborers aboard os deck passengers, who wero en youle to labor on a Som hem railroad. When Mr. Phelps il rsi heard the alarm and saw tho indications ol fire, lt was In thc rear of thc lodles' cabin. He ran up to thc Texas and communicated thc alarm to cap tain J. C. Duty, or lttipldes Parish, Louisiana, and .when he returned immediately to the cabin thc Hames hud mado fearful headway, and the ex citement amt confusion was unparalleled. Ile at once threw orr his coat and boots, put on a lire preserver and leaned into the rlvcrTfom the boil er deck. At this tl ne tho boat, bc thinks, v,as not more tiian two hundred yards from tho Missouri shore, and when ho jumped over his feet touched ls.; tom, lint on going a few .Up ; the water became deeper and he had to r 'im. Three times between thc boat and the shore ,tc tried to (ouch bottom, and tho third Hmo came near going down. For tune favored him. however, nml he reached thc shore more dead than alive. An old farmer, who among others had been attracted there by thc light from tho burning boat, pulled orf lils cont and nut lt on Mr. Phelps, which ho thinks saved Ids lire, ns he was chilled tbrdngh and through. He feels assn rod that Captain Holy was lost, also a North Missouri railroad conductor named black burn. A Mrs. Gregg, of Louisiana, on her return from a visit to a sister In St. Louts, was likewise lost, as wero two other lady passengers that were aboard. There won a bm band, wife and their two small children, who woro dock passengers, that were nlso lost. PURTIIER PROM TUB DISASTER. The SL boals Republican of tho .101 h ult. has a dispatch from Captain Taylor, ono or thc com mittee that left here last night for tho wreck of the steamer Stonewall, lately burned In tho Mis sissippi, which states that no bodies were found to-day. Three were burled yesterday, names un known. Several persons were picked np below hero yesterday alive, but their names are not as certained. The wreck was still haming. Tho freight In the hold Is uninjured, but being stolon rapidly. If tho board of underwriters had sent a tug down $60,000 worth of propcrtv would have boen saved.

IIAIlBAUdl'S MURDER OK HIS BROTH RR PRANK. When the war began, 1 was leading a iniict, peaceable life, trying lo provide for my family in un honest though humble sphere of life. lu the condition nf a la i rs in my part if Missouri, I had made up my mind to keep oui or the troubles und Inke no part in (hewar, lu IS43, my brui ber, Prank Hilderbrund, went into thc Stale lluanls under Jeir. Thompson. On Frank's return losco our mother and mildly, he was captured by a mob beadell by young McElvanc. Ry McBlvanc'S order Frank was killed arter his capone-bis head was mashed, his body mangled amt cut lo pieces lu such a shocking milliner that thc most barbarous savage would have blushed to have been gtilllv or the deed. His body was then thrown inti) a mineral hole ill ty reel deep, and left lo rot. A SI8TKK Dins OF A nilOKKN ItRAIlT. Thc next outrugc committed on my kindred and family was thu murder of my brother, licurgo Wasp I tig i on, and a Canadian named Hus! ache Laudusky, who was engaged to be married to my Bister Mary, "these last murders were perpetrat ed by men In Union uniform, and who were sol diers iii the Federal army. Two weeks after these tragedies my sister Mary died of trouble und a bretton heart. A LITTLE mtoTtiEii MCHDEIIED. Two weeks Int er these men caine io my mother's I msc und loaded several wagons with her prop erty, drove off all our cattle and set fire lu her house, the best stone dwelling In thc settlement. My poor, dear, broken-hearted mother seeing thc house burning, sent my little brother Henry to those heartless wretches and asked for thc ramlly lilllie as a relic to be i:upt when nil else, was gone. Not dreaming of harm to thc little tender boy, what can express her horror and agony when these demons shot my little brother, not twelve years old, through Hie bowels, and a fiend theil put his Toot on lils head amt cut lils throat. Thus were these atrocious leeds ot blood and cruelty and robbery committed on my kindred and fam ily. Let any niau put thc question to his soul, whether such outrages would not havo aroused him to desperate retaliation, nt a Hmo when thc law no longer hail power to avenge a man's wrongs for him mid for thc sake or Justice ! And yet, even then, 1 liorc these accumulated outrages without lining a hand to avenge my brothers'and sister's blood. TUR mr. CAST-Ll FR Oil rural u. During all these outrages 1 had resolved not to go in thc Southern urmy, nor to meddle In thc troubles in snv way. I removed from Rig River to Flat Woods", distant twenty-live miles, hoping Hitit no harm would hcriill mc or my wife mid children, ir I would get out or thc Immediate neighborhood ot those who hud murdered aud outraged my family. Rut to my surprise, about thc middle ot May, Just when my crop was looking well, and hupe was strong Hint I would tic left In peace, nbout sunrise one morning my house was surrounded by McElvanc and lils crew of some thirty ur furly men, all well armed. I remembered thc fate or my brothers mid friends, slaughtered In cold blood like sheep arter their capture, and I knew there was no hope of mercy or Justice from such demons; no help ex cept lu tuc courage and strength that dod lind given me. Thc die with mc was cast. Iliad sought ace and quiet, inn thc bloodhounds had trailed mc. 1 was at bay. Thc conflict that 1 timi ii i nom was forced upon me. Ttie alternativo was life or death. MunnERS wrrnouT NUMBER. I met my pursuers at the door. I shot own a of thom in their track , made a rush Tor the woods, and escaped. Finding lt Impossible to live at OP near home, 1 went to Arkansas, and after ward got my wire and four children. The two men killed lu my door was thc first blood ever shed by mc. Then, when a price was set on my head, l determined to revenge tho death of my brothers. 1 rode several times from Arkansas bern re I could get to shoot McElvanc, thc Infa mous butcher, who had murdered my brothers and sought my lire. Then I meant to hann no one else IT they would leave mc undisturbed; but some of the soldiers, piloted by Jim Craig, a very meddlesome spy, undertook to have me killed. In self-defence 1 turned loose on them and mude many of those who sought my lifo bite thc dust. I orien met them lu tho woods. They ntl knew me, and would oifer to assist me. They would make un appointment to bring mc provi sions to my hiding places, aud then would pilot soldiers thereto try to have mc raptured. I al ways killed that kind or men. I havo cammed many Union soldiers, but I never treated theni unkindly unless il was one who lind brutally treated Southern pilsoucrs, and 1 kuew lt. CLOTHES TOUS Killin ms BODY uv nOI.LETS. I have had hundreds or huir-brcudth'escapes for my lire; but I kuow there ls a merciful Cod that knows and dues all things right-au all powerful hnnd bas protected me. 1 have twenty tunes been suddenly waked,and lied from my bcd, when a shower of Van kee balls would liddle thc bcd I had sprung out ol. I have had my clothes torn from my body with Yankee bullets, but two only ever drew blood from mc. 1 wish to soy that 1 saw a Republican or Juno last, which contains some charges against me that arc not true. It speaks or many cruelties committed by Hilderbrund in Canaway County, whloh arc utterly untrue. I never was In Cana way County lu my lire. It also charges mc with cruelty to a lillie boy. That ls also tulse. 1 never harmed a woman or child In my life. I warred only with men who had made war on me. I was also accused of taking stock or Jim Mcbain to thc amount of seoo. Thc neighbors nil know that Jim Mcbain always lived from hand to mouth, and never had any Hiing lo be stolen or taken from him. s All, cont HOM E. Arter tho excitement nbout thc wnr, and its troubles seemed to die out, and men seemed lo heal over past sores, tn tho spring of 1808, I caine back to St. Francois County ami talked lo many of thc good people ot thc county concerning tho propriety or returning to my old home. AU I spoke loorull parties said, "Sam, como home." I came back tn good faith. I moved to my mo ther's old placo and lived there six months. 1 then moved to Hillsboro1 and stayed there until last fall. Finding lt hard to make a living thcre.l moved on tho Mississippi River, nenr Rush Tower, and chopped wood nil last winter. I then moved back to tho Three Rivers, on tho Sam Herd place, tn raise a crop. There I lived and worked until thc 4lh or June last, when I was waylaid and shot by Jim .MeLane, or Waller Evans, and two others, that I or my friends may yet call to account. Jim Mci.ane, McQiiinn and others waylaid ray house to murder mc. In April inst, for ?several days. On ibo Ith of June I was shot through the thigh nt my house. S1IOOTINO JIM M'LANB, AND COOK I NO SUITER. I went to my uncle william's where they at tacked rac six days arter. They shot all day at me there. 1 selected Jim Me i.a nc, whom I knew only by description, and shot him from tho honsc. siu rlir Rreeklnrldgc and thc balance of lils party took good ciro ot their scalps arter I killed Mc Lnnc. It was then 3 o'clock, and ns I ba l eaten no breakfast or dinner, I cooked my own supper, and ato lt while they kent dring nt me. I was orton amused lo see my old aunt Williams dodging thc nails ns they came tn through the cracks. They llred tho house, and ns I had nnlshedjuy supper, I abandoned' my burning formication. As I went ont 1 counted thirty-five men guarding thc burning house. I saw (leorgo Doggett, Asa Jackson, Jo. McCahmi and Hill's hoy. When thc house got too hot for comfort, I left lt, nnd walk ed within six tcct nf somo of tho guard. They seemed blind, or nt least they did not oii'jr to shoot inc. A WARNINO TO TOT RADICALS. I wish to say to thc Radicals lu mid about Farm ington to beware how they mistreat my wife and children, as 1 hear they have had them under ar rest by order or tho drunken bowen, and I will Boy to Dob Hill and Joe Met aban to wnlk smooth ly nnd not let my family suffer. They helped kill my brothers, but they have not yet killed mo. Jim Mel.ane was a tool In tho hands of thal In famous creature and coward, Oust. St. Oem, of Sf.

Mc Lane murdered Judge Uurk, of St. (Icncvicvc, and and preacher Polk, over 83 years of agc. I wish to say to Governor McOlurg Flint I could hnvo easily killed him while ho was In Fnrmlnpton Iff had wanted to do no. but I look on him as a gentleman, and that ho !.. misled by listening to iles from bad men, who aro Radicals. TWO RUSIIRLS OP RADICAL BULLETS. I have had two bushels of Radical bullets shot at me, but only two over drow blood. Tho old Indian, when tie fired fourteen shots at General Washington aud missed every shot, said that thc Oroat Spirit turned tho bail aside. Ood has turn ed away tho bullets aimed at my life, and I put my trast In Him and believe the balance of my days will bc spout moro happily. - DON'T I OI.LOW UMXXLY HEARS.
