DREADFUL ACcIDENT.-The Steamboat
H0nasoub, which Ielt New Orleans last
Sunday, having on board from six to seven
hundred Indians, on their way to Arkan-
sas, came in contact on Tuesday night
last, at the turning Of Plophet's Island,
with ship lowed by steamer; 1.-THE shock
was terrible, the Monmouth divided in two
pieces, and nearly wo hundred indians
were killed or drowned, also one OF the
engineers. We are told that this misor-
tune happened from the want OF lights,
the night being dark, and the towed ship
had none, SO that the Monmouth came too
near to be able TO avoid the encounter with
the ship.
On Wednesday morning, part Of the
wreck was discovered floating IN the rver
about eight miles below Baton Rouge; il
was taken ashore, and the doors o. The
cabin broken open, when the first objects
that presented themselves to view were
drowned Indians. We have not heard Of
any further detalls.-Baton Rouge Ga. II

Resolved, That Samuel j. Gholson and

such are entitled to take their seats.
The question pending was the motion
Of Mr.. Maury to strike out all after the
word "resolved," and insert "that Samuel

being duly elected members of the House

seen the true position Of Mr.. Calhoun at

the following extract from the Mobile Ex-

"The stand which Mr.. Calhoun has ia

lnnumerabe speculations as to the cause
and consequences. People don't under

The WOMEN IN CANADA.-H,aor Ia our
patriotic LadieS.-A party OF two hundred
and fifty ladies, belonging to the parish OF
st. Antoine, celebrated, on Thursday, the
3Oth inst their love OF county, and their
patriotism, by a public dinner, from which
every imported article was rigidly ex-
cluded. Various patriotic toasts and SEN
timents, appropriate to the spirit of the
times, were proposed A guard of honors
composed of forty men, belonging to the
Parish, was in attendance with their mus
kets, and occasionally compIimened the
fair party by firing fen de joe. SO far
from being frightened by the smellof pow
der or the roar Of musketry, many OF the
ladies, to prove that they can act in case
Of need, took muskets and discharged them
with the most admirable tact and courage.
When the women OF Canada are display
ing such patriotism, it is not very proba-
bic the men will be backward when the
time Of trial comes-Moatreai Nndicator.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
We call on The people Of Mississippi
Of all parties--to mark the manner in
which Claiborne and GhoIson obtained
decision of the House that they were emit
tied to their seats as members Of the 25th
Congress.
We ask the friends Of those gentlemen
TO read the remarks Of Mr.. Ghoson to the
House, and say if they are not false.
i 1t seems that this assurance of Mr.. G.
-"that at he time IF his and his colleagues
election there aoas not the slightest d0u5i a.
mong the people # Mississippi bit that
tohoeuer were elected, were elected for the
aobole of the 25b Congress-"
We say, thai this statement upon the
floor Of Congress gained many votes up
on the question in favor Of their admis-
sion, for no one had right to doubt a
gentiemda'S word given to the House Is

State notice the election OF members to the

some Of the remarks OF members on the
subject, and call attention particularly to
the declaration OF M GhoIson:

MoNDAY, October 2.
MISSISSIPPI ELECTION.
The House resumed the consideration
of the report of the committee of cleo
tons, on the subject Of the election in the
E State of Mississippi.
Mr. MASON of Ohio, thought that if
the Governor of the State Of Mississippi,
i with all his legal knowledge, both of the
0 State law, and of the Constitution, was of
Q opinion that the term Of election would
expire with the present session, (and that
-, was his opinion, he having inserted a
clause in the writ to that etlect) then it
: would be a fair inference to suppose that
q the people of the State of Mississippi had
similar impression.
Mr.. GHOLSON hoped tie gentleman
d would dllow him TO state that at tht time Of
n his and his colleagues ciectioa there Dds
s not the slightest doubt among the people Of
Mississippi but that, wh0eUer 'cere elected,
,oere elected for the ctote term Of the 25lh
: Congress.
n Mr.. MASON acclaimed any disrespcct
: to the gentleman from that State, but had
, merely stated what, in his opinion, was a
: fair inference, without knowing any thing
about facts. He then went on to give his
: reasons why he could not vote for the res
? olution reported by the committee. After
, which, on motion Of Mr.. Haynes, the
House adjourned.

SUCCESS-IN LIFE.

Few persons conversant with the world have failed
to remark that, in the Of life, Of moderate
means and attanments frequently outstTip competitors
endowed equally by the smiles Of fortune, and the gifts
of genius. 1t is told of Chancellor Thurlow, on be-
ing consulted by parent to the best his
could adopt at the BAR that he thus
addressed him; Let your spend his own fortune,
marry and spend his wife's and then go to the bar,
there will be little fear of his failure Whence this
Recommendations sfhe man Of certain independent
means, Thurlow's observation had taught him, does
not lay his shoulder to the wheel, he who is ugee
on by the res augusta domi, and hence, as the sim
pie result, he is distanced. The illustration of this
truth may be observed every day, particularly in til.
learned professions.
II should ever be born in mind, that success in life
IS not regarded ny the wise man as end, but
means OF happiness. The greatest and most continued
favors of fortune cannot in themselves make an indi
vidual happy; the deprivation of them render
altogether miserable the possessor oa clear conscience
and well-constitnted mind The sum Of human enjoy
ment is not cannot be, dervabe from one source;
many circumstances must contribute to it. One
principal reason,' remarks Bentham, "uhy our exs-
ence has so much less Of happiness crowded into it
than is accessible to u.s. is that neglect to gather
up these minute particles of pleasure which every
ment offers to our acceptance. In striking after
total, we forget the cphers Of which it is composed;
struggling against inevitable results which cannot
control too often is eedless of those accessible
pleasures whose amount is by no means lnconsdera-
Bile when collected together. Stretching on: his hand
to catch the stars, he forgets the flowers at his feet 50
beautiful so fragrant, various, so lnntitudnous.
In conclusion, another most fartiie of human
disappointment arises from having entertained views
Of life altogether incompatible with the imperfect
character of human nature, the declared end of
probationary residence on the earthly planet. "What
is it, inquiries Goethe, that keeps men in continual
discomfort and agitation, 1t is that they make
realities correspond with their conceptions, that en-
oyment steals away from their hands, that the wished
for comes too late, and nothing reached or acquired
produces the heart The effect which their longing
for at distance led them to anticipate "
