AS soon as the doors of the Senate are
thrown open, it is calculated that parties
will begin to shew themselves more distinct
ly than they have hitherto done. That a
mask which is now worn will be thrown
aside, that change in the cabinet will also
take place soon after that time, is very con-
fiaenily anticipated. No well informed in
diYldual doubts that the change will be
made, and it is said with equal certainty
that Mr.. Woodbury. will he rewarded for
the political seduction of New Hampshire,
by a seat in the cabinet. This was proba
bly, bargained for, when Mr.. Woodbury.
went to Richmond, in November, at the
time when the contract was made at Mr..
Ritchie's, by Van Buren, g. Co, by which
the reversion of the ancient dominion was
made over to Mr.. Van Buren,. The attempt
of the latter to impose on the people a belief
that Gen. Jackson will again he candidate
will not be successful. Although some of
the original friends of Gen. Jackson may
desire It, the party cannot I've kept together,
the south will set up candidate who will
answer Mr.. Hamilton's description, ga south
ern man, with southern interests, and south
crn feelings" for if the south should sink
into apathy during the next eight years,
what chance will there be for the CoIleton
agitators to carry through their schemes

was told, the boiler, after exploding, had pass.

several dead bodies were lying around; their
tate had been an enviable one compared
with that Of others-they could scarcely
have been conscious of a pang ere they
had ceased to be. On the starboard wheel
house, lay human body, in which life was
not yet extinct, though, apparently there was
no senslbi'ity remaining. The whole of the
forehead had been blown away; the brains
were still beating. Tufts of hair, shreds Of
clothing, and sploches of blood might be
seen in every direction. A piece Of skin
was picked up by gentleman on board,
which appeared to have been pealed off by
the force of the steam; it extended from
the middle of the arm down to the tips Of
the fingers, the nails adhering to it. So
dreadful had been the force that not par
! ticle of the flesh adhered to it; the most
skilful operator could scarcely have eject
ed such result. Several died from inhal-
ing the steam or gas, whose skin was al
most uninjured.

To render any satisfactory account of the
cause which produced the explosion, can
hardly be expected from one who possesses
no scientific or practical knowledge on the
subject, and who previously thereto, was
paying no attention to the management OF
the boat. The captain appeared 10 be very
active and dlligent in attending to his duty.
He was on the boiler deck when the explo-
sion occurred; was materially injured by
that event, and must have been ignorant Of
the mismanagement, ifany there was.
From the engineer alone could the true
explanation be afforded and, indeed, if il
was really attributable to negligence, it can
scarcely be supposed he will lay the blame

SHOCKING TRANSACTION. Mr.. David
Symmes, who has for a long time kept the
bridge across the Tiger, in Union, had SEINE
alteration with his son David Symlnes, IT,,
on Christmas-,iay, who eollared and threw
HIM down and stamped upon the breast of
the old gentleman IN most brutal manner.
Upon his recovery he declared that from
the unkind abuse which he had received he
was determined TO destroy Will which he
had made, and 10y which he had beoueathed
the principal part of his property TO his son
The son on learning that a lawyer had been
sent for to,execute new Will, took meas
ures to Illustrate the design Of his father,
by bribing some Of the negroes, the proper
ty of his father and himself-to murder him,
before he couLd haze time to alter his Wiu
Accordingly two or three of the negroes re-
paired to the room where the old man slept,
and with their axes struck him in the face,
just below has eyes, and at the same blow
cut of bis fingers which he had raised TO
protect his head they struck several blows
by which they cut of his arm, and then left
their victim, as they thought, dead he
however, survived several days. The per-
petrators OF this atrocious act were immedi-
ately sought out; suspicion fell on young
Symmes and the slaves Of the family the
negroes confessed their guilt, and said that
their young master had promised to those
that struck :hc blows 800 piece, and to
those who stood as guard proportionate
sum for the services they might render In
the preparation of this unholy deed. Three

A narrow section of our country about a
quarter Of q mile in width, and fifteen or
twenty miles in length, was visited on the
evening of the 9TH inst, by most alarming
and destructive hurricane. 1t was accom-
panied with an unusual degree Of thunder
ard lightning for the season, and commenc-
ed its ravages some four or five miles south
of this place, driving with Incredible fury,
from 8. w. to N. E., raising from their
foundations, almost unfortunately, every
negro cabin, tobacco barn, stable, or other
low -bodied houses, and depriving the more
firmly constructed farm houses, of their
porches, roofs, or chimneys; and in some
few instances, upsetting them, or moving
them from their original positions. We
have heard as yet of but three deaths, which
occurred among the negroes at Mr.. Bruce's,
by the fall of a chimney, after the house
had blown over them, without doing any in
jury. There were in other places many
hair breadth escapes, for it frequently hap
pened that houses were blown down over
six or eight negroes, without any other suf-
fering than some slight bruises.

REINFORCEMENT. The csmmittee on 70.
tronchments in the United States House Of
Representatives, have, after prodigious effort,
and after talking away about thirty thousand
dollars, succeeded in abolishing the Office Of
craftsman, thereby saving a salary Of fifteen
hundred dollars. What matchless wisdom this !
Here they have expended $4,000 TO abolish
the Office Of craftsman, and need craftsman
moro than ever, and resolution has already
passed the House, directing that same commit
tee on Rstrenchments, TO inquire into the ex-
pediency Of creating that Office.

. Mr.. Minor spoke in fsrther opposition to the mo

Mr.. Bryce said the amendment concurred in. civ.
ing the Treasurer the general power Of representing
the interest Of the State by vote equal to
was no more than carrying into effect the very re-
served power provided by the amendment of the zen
tieman from Frederick. 1t dispensed with special
legislation to render that power available and if il
was intended, in good faith, that the State should
nave the power, where was the objection to vesting
the Treasurer with il by the chartera He had con-
cured IN the original bill, but he objection co
Vesting the reserved power of the State ut once in

mr: W,tiams Of Henrico, supported the motion
and Mr. Masons amendment. He desired the power
10 be reserved to the State TO be exercised when the
legislature saw cause for its exercise but he was not
wiling to delegate it without limitation and without
instfoctons. we adhered, the Senate must either
ecede, or by adhering also to their ain endment re-
jcct the till.
Mr. Minor eaid if the House refused to rocede. he
should move to ndhsre-that If the bill was rejected
tne blame might fall, where it ought to do, on the
Mr. EPPes said in his apprehension there was but
a single question ipvolved-Would the House make

1t would be too late then to call into activity, the
reserved power of the State.
The question was then put and the NJ otion to re-
cede' lost by great majority.

their disagreement of the Senates amendment
After some conversation, in which Messrs. Minor
