sion over the starboard side Of the boat iato thc
MISSISSIPPI, one Of whom was reported 10 have
been drowned We could not, however discover
the truth Of this report with sufficient accuracv
and trust that il 10 not the case. As We hurried
down from the Office 20 the river upoo kesr{n~
the noise Of the explosion, VIC first saw one pocr
fellow, black man, Just brought to shore in .
and bleeding. Two white men had been takcna.
shore little higher up the landing, one Of them
shockingay scalded; the skin and flesh II his TACO
and every part Of his person that was exposed.
were crisPcd and curled on his body, and the ua-
cus and other liquids Of his frame forced out az
his mouth, nostrils and ears-hc Jared worst ofall

lay two men, one Of them the Engineer, badly
scalded, the latter especialiy-ihcy were the only
persons we saw attended to, and applications Of

We convcfsed with very sensible man, cab.
IN passenger, who was sitting at the time Of the
plosion, between tho doors that lead in from tho 2

he sat, and expressed himdclf tcmpcrately but
strongly, with regard to the necessity Of pfovi-
ding some suitable penalty ''for such cuipablc
negligence" that endangcrs the lives Of 80 many
people. We hope that IL there was a want of care
on the part of the officers, they will be made to
answer for it.--(Com. Bull.
