STEAMBOAT AcUDENT.-The Steamboat Hor-
net, on her passagf from Maysville to Cincinnati
on 18th inst, CAM in contact with the Polauder,
which carried away her wheel house and guard.
The Captain of he Hornet, Mr. Menau, says
the Maysvile Eagle, was standing on the guard
at the moment of contact, and it is supposed was
crushed to eeath o. swept into the river His cap,
one slipper, poke book, two teeth, and lock of
bloody hair, were ound on the guard. youth,
named BAKEwEL1 a student of Augusta College,
who was standing lear the Captain, had his collar
and breast bones lroken, and received several
contusions in othe parts of his body; but it is
supposed he will recover. The collision between
the boats, we learn was purely accidental, and
no blame is ATTACHED to either commander. REP.
Col X. NJ, Johnsoa.--ltis with great pleasure we
announce to our realers and to the friends of that
distinguished individual generally, that his pros
poets to be adoptel on the Jackson ticket, as the
candidate for theparty for the office Vice Presi
dent, are increasing daily. The sensation pro
duced by the selection of Mr.. Van Buren,, induced
us to apprehent that the public Indignation would
manifest itselfby the adoption of him, to the pre-.
JUDGE of Col Johnson.as the candidate ofthe party
for that Office; but further development of public
opinion has almost convinced us that our fears were
not well founded. We notice no less than two
meetings n the city o. New York, which have been
held IN his favor one by the citizens generally and
the other by the mechanics and working classes
Col. j. is a true wokey, and his labor always
rebounds 70 the Advantage of the country. There
has also been meeting in his favor in the CITY of
Philadelphia, at whih committee was appointed
to offer % him, on tie part of the citizens, pub
lie dinner; which, however, Col j. politely de-
cllned accepting.-Erom present appearances,
Col Johnson will, most likely be the man who
will b. selected by he Baltimore Convention.
