ERIE. March 17. 1931

ERIE Mafcn lf, IS0I
 Steamboat A6cidcnt.-On Saturday last the citi- zens of this place much alarmed by report that the steamboat Erie was on fre many of our citizens immediately reapared to the place, and as- sisted with energy to stop the progress of the flames. But notwithstanding the activity of others in extin- gushing the fire. Captain Bacon deserves the high est commendation for his care, calmness, and inde- fatgable exertoDs to the boat; the of the Erie, also are to be commended for their unwearied labor and the promptness with which they obeyed the command of their officers. The fire became so alarming that the blaze rose to the height of six or eight feet above the boiler deck, black and tremen- dous volumes of smoke rose and curled frightiully, as it lowered over the i'll fated bark beneath and which told the crew the fate of their favorte unless by their exertions the flames could be successfully quencbed. The Erie, fortunately, has sustained no material injury; twenty or thirty dollars will repair every damage she has sustained. The fire is SUD- posed to have caught from the sparks that passed up through the crevces, which were occasoned by jar that the boat had previously received and which caused the brick and mortar immediately on the boil CTS to become loose.
 About ono hundred bales of cotton were thrown everboard, and are happy to state that all of them (yyh the exception of five six which had the rope and bagging burnt of), taken up at near this place, by the gentlemen who voluntarily prepared themselves for that purpose. .-Gdzette

THE INTELLIGENCER.
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 30, 1881.

The present number closes the second volume oI the INTELLIeENcER, and we cannot so far depart from the establishedcustom among printers as not to te ender grateful thanks to patrons for the ve- " liberal support they have extended to us. It is source pleasure to look back upon the dreary waste from which we emerged, and now to behold the bright and cheering prospects they have spread be- fore us; and though at best the path which conuc- tors of political journals are destined to travel must be thorny and uneaven, yet when cheered by the appreciation of large portion of the intelligent com munity, it is rendered comparatively smooth It will be our great object to merit continuance of the confidence of the public.
 We dislike to mar these pleasant reflections by hinting to our friends, that we are in want of the 'one thing needlul," but our circumstances render 1t necessary that we should. We therefore request those who indebted to us to make early payment particularly those who owing for two years sub scrpton.

From, the Mobile Commercial Register of March 1s
 ffated Cotton-At a meeting of the Mobile Chamber of Commerce. convened at their office on the 9th instant the following resolutions was unan mously adopted:
 Resotced, That it be the duty of each member oi thls Chamber to report to the President every case of ffaudulenty packed cotton which may come to his knowledge; and that the President be request. ed to publish in the public papers at the expense oi this society, all the names and marks that may ap. pear on any cotton reported: and, aso to publish the name of the planter and ginner and the place of their residence, when they shall be furnished by spectable and responsible persons.
 Resofred, That this board, in all cases when frauds are discovered in the packing of cotton, will sustain any member prosecuting for such offence. Resofced, That the foregoing resolutions be pub | lished in the papers of this city.
 The immediate occasion of the adoption of the foregoing resolutions was the detection of gross and palpabe fraud in the packing of lot of cotton belonging to Mir David Harding of Greene county It had been sold to one of our commission merchants by the sample drawn from the edges of the bales some of which was beautiful cotton, but on a closer examination, the inside of the bales was dscovey to be inferior, wet and rotten. MT Harding $ brought before an examining magistrate und> .he statute, the affidavit of the broker who tra acted the business and discovered the fraud. He United the ownership and ginning of the cotton .contend ed that if fraud had been committed it was done | home. It appeared in proof that his gin and his farming affairs, generally. were in charge of man by the name of Hawkins, his overseer, who, ii also appeared was interested to the amount of one seventh of the cotten but he held to bail the ground that he wps responsible for the acts of his agent Ir justice to Mir Harding, it is our duty to add, and we do with much pleasure, that from the testimony number of witnesses, most of whom were his neighbors, and knew him well, he sustains charac ter for uprghtness and integrity, altogether above reproach or suspicion.
 The business of plating cotton has been carried this season, to an unprecedented and alarming ex tent. An individual broker has detected scren sepa rate lots since the commencement of the winter.- And while the examinations in the case under con sderation pending another falsely packed lot P bales, from Montgomery, detected while ii the very act of being shipped These facts show the urgent necessity of vigorous and combined effort or the part of merchants and planters bring the guilty to justice that the innocent may be vindca
 ted, and the fair fame of the State protected from reproach and injury.

 Partizans-It may be thought by some, that the situation of thOroughgoing partlzan, of the small order, or, to vary the figure, one who follows his leaders great way off. is very convenient one {; that he has nothing to do but praise his idols, and abuse their opponents that he need be at no trouble to think for himself determine what is true-what IS false-what is useful-or what is detrimental ;- but merely to "track full and fair in the steps of those who go before him. Such may be lus situation for time; but, let it not be forgotten that this very circumstance may render his situation the more crt- cal and alarming, when he is thrown by any unfore- seen occurrence, upon his own resources. When his leaders fall out, is sometimes the case he must at least determine which of them Ire will follow and this may sometimes be no easy matter, to one not in the habit of deciding for himself, but accustomed to being guided by leading strings. Besides great men are not very careful of the interest of their little hang CTS on When they come to critical point in their course, they bolt, or turn a POLITICAL sUMMERsET, without hesitation wholly regardless of the interests of those who follow in their train. On ssch occa- sions, they seem to act upon the principle of the vul gar adage-"tE the d-l tax the hindmost." To be provided before hand, against emergencies of this knd it might be good policy for all to cultivate their powers of reflection little, and venture sometimes to think for themselves
