ANOTHER STEAMBOAT DISASTER.

NASHVILLE, NtRoH II.
Burning of the Steamboat RdadoIph.-
Our town has seldom, if ever, been VISITED
with such disaster as that which occurred
yesterday. The steamboat Randolph, the
largest boat on our waters, aud the pride al
our port, is now a smoking aud unslghtIy
mass.
Abou, 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, as
she came within sight OF town, loaded with
a heavy and costly freight, and springlpg
gaIy along as II rejoicing that her goal was
so nearly attained, II was discovered that
she was on fire. The flame, which broke
out through The boiler deck, vas small and
at first created but little alarm. The captain
(NllIer) thought he had ettlngulshcd 1t,
when puff Of wind reklndled It, and, 10
few moments, 1t became unmanageable
The wind vas high, and all hopes of eytin
gushing the flames being abandoned, the
only effort now made was to run her ashore
THIS was accomplished by the presence OF
mind and eXertlons OF the captain, the clerk
baldwin, and the pilot, colored man by
the name Of DAVID Crafts. The negro stood
firm at the helm while the names were rag.
log around him, and actually until the ropes
ot has trheei Icere burnt IN tro.
The boat was at length secured--a great
mass Of ilame-al the landing opposite the
old magazine, and our fire companies and
hundreds OF other citizens were on the spot
Immediately. Every assistance was rem
dered, and, by extraordinary exerilons, the
fire was subdued by nlghtaIl, but not until
the boat was burnt to the waters edge.
Until the Randolph arrived at CIarksvllIe
she was crowded with passengers. Here,
fortunately, all Of the CABIN passengers went
on board the Shoalwa,er, which brought up
upwards Of a hundred tons Of the Randolph
freight on Tuesday. Thus fifteen or TWEEN.
~ OF our fellow. creatures, N all probability,
we're saved from watery or fiery grave.
As far as we can ascertain this morning.
from the most dIIlgent inquiry, three lives
were lost, all Of whom were slaves.

From the Chdr,esio1 Courier,


Extract Of a letter from one of the Staff Officers
Of Col. Brisbane's regiment, dated West side OF
the s.. Johns, E. f., opposite Camp Nolusia,
March 90.
I" esterday our portion OF the Army
commenced crossing the 81. Johns River,
and had rencontre with the Indians. Two
companies of Col. Brisbane regiment, Ash,
by's and Fripp'S, were first sent over as
an advance guard, TO protect the landing OF
the balance. These companies having cross.
ed, were attacked by considerable mum
Der OF Indians. A sharp contest imme.
dately ensued. Col. Brisbane and most
of his Staff, among them myself, were on
the East bank of the River. The Irish
Volunteers aud Capt. Hibler's company, and
as many men as could be GOT over, we're sent
IN flats. Capt. Parker's, Doucn's, and Al.
lens companies, crossed below in the steam
boat, to Gu, off the retreat of the Indians.
Col. Brisbane, myselfand some others, cross.
ed 10 a small boat The indians were re.
pulsed and driven back, having as near as we
could ascertain, five men killed and several
wounded We saw four places on the banks
of the River, where their dead had been
thrown over, and found one lying dead about
$50 Yards from the battle ground. We
saw tracks OF blood on several trails on the
palmetto bushes. The loss on our part was
considerable. Three men Of Ashby com.
panv, named Austin, Meynuer, and Han.
kipiller, we're killed, and twelve men wound.
ed. All of the wounded have been attend.
ed to, and placed IN The Hospital at Camp
( Nolusla.
1--WE are now IN the Indian territory, and
expect in few DAYS to have general en-.
gagement. We slept, or rather lay, IN the
bushes last night, under arms, aud ready
for action. The Indians are supposed to
belong to PoselI's gang. We expect to
leave here tomorrow, and march against
the man body Of Indians

q Heads up Are the principles for
which the opponents of Mr.. Van Buren, are
contendng, worth an effort for their man.
ienance If they are, let those who adj.
vocate them, IN the discharge Of the duty
which they owe to their country as good
citizens, strain every nerve to uphold and
defend them. The pillars of the social edit.
fee are rudely assaulted on every side, aud
require the steadfast support Of all the
friends Of good principles.
In every county, the Wings should be
on the alert. The time is approaching for
candidates to take the field for the State
Legislature, and we know the Van Buren,
men will make desperate effort to secure
one or both branches. Its important there.
fore, that our political friends should be
prepared with good candidates, and adop,
the necessary measures to give them the
most efficient support. We hope tina, no
candidate will be elected by our opponents
through our neglect or divisions, but thai
such Legislature will be assembled under
the new Constitution, as will faithfully repre-.

FROM LOUISIANA.

The Legislature of this State consists,
all told, of 81 members, OF whom the names
of 81 are signed TO the following, and more
names would have been signed, but for the
absence Of some o! the members.
The undersigned, members of the House
of Representatives and OF the Senate OF the
State of Louisiana, friendly 10 the election
Of Hugh l.. White TO the Presidency OF the
United States, being majority Of that body,
and entertaining deep convection OF the
Importance of sustaining his claims by all
ialr and honorable means, deem II their du.
ty, before they separate, to unite III the ex.
interesting subject. Believing that an im.
preston has existed IN this State and else.
where that majority of the Legislature OF
the State are favorable to the election OF
Martin Van Buren,, and that such an I'M
preston is calculated TO have an important
effect, and may be used unlustly TO the op.
posing candidates, they would have followed
the course adopted BY the Legislatures OF
other States, by presenting resolutions NOM
mating their candidate, but for the doubts
which were felt BY many Of them as 10 the
proprIety of any legislative action on the
subject. In order, therefore, TO correct any
false impression which may have existed,
they deem II their duty, as It IS their right,
TO unite In the declaration Of their decided
preference for Hugh l.. White as the mex,
President OF the United Sta,es-a preference
founded on the convection that the true and
substantial interests OF Louisiana will be
promoted by his election, While the honor
and prosperity OF our common country Will
also be greatly advanced. They therefore
pledge themselves TO each other that they
will use all honorable means TO sustain hls
claims before the People oil thls State:

Ii Is now about three years SINCE the de.

With the greater part OF us contents. New.

cumstanccs Of the case 10 inculpale the Al.
mInlstration. Oh neglect OF due care and

Ingly bestowed.
Upon vague suspicion Of design being
at the bottom OF tins fire, examination INTO
the matter was made, by the proper author.
ties, at the instance of the Executive and,
after full investigation, nothing appeared To
justify the belief that the ire vas not the re-.
suit OF accident.
Time, however, which Is often the only
test Of truth TO the senses OF mortals, has
disclosed circumstances which leave little
doubt OF this fire having been the work oil
a conspiracy OF individuals, oil whom some
we're directly, and others indirectly, us,ru-
mental IN producing the coutiagfaltUn. The
matter has, We believe, been some time IN
the course Of investigation but, as secrecy
was important to success m the pursuits oil

relTaIned from noticing It even now, were
It not that the bringing to tms city OF one OF
the persons implicated has been noticed IN

arrested ~ the city Of New York, arrived
here on Saturday, IN custody OF several peace
officers, and IS now 10 confinement. Anoth.
