THE STEAM PACKET PULASKI.

The following intelligence reached us by this Friday] mornings mail. It has evil dently been collected in great haste. Itnow appears certain however that boiler of the steamer exploded which was the cause of the accident, and not that she ran ashore. It al- so appears certain that one boat with sixteen persons are saved. As she had four boats, there is.still room to hope that greater num- Der have been rescued -Cou. and Eng.

 ANOTHER DREADFUL ACCIDENT.
 UpDards of One Hundred an4 Eighty Lives Repor,e.. to hGre been Lost From passengers who arrived in the cars from Wilmington, we learn that the steam packet Pulaski, Cap- tain Dubois, which lcst Charleston on Thurs day evening last with about POO passengers, bound to Baltimore, was lost on Friday night last, about 40 miles to the southwarG of Will. mington, North Carolina, during heavy gale, in which her boiler exploded. Eight persons were killed by the bursting of the boiler. The boat sunk an hour after the ex- plosion. Previous to the sinking of the steamer, a boat with 2l persons left her, and were drowned. We have also been inform ed that the mate, Supposed to be Hibberd, formerly of this place, and who brought inc melancholy tidings to Wilmington,) was the only person of the entire crew who was sa- we'd. Two ladies who were in the boat, got ashore safe.
 The passengers also inform Us that two Judges from South Carolina, (one of whom was C0lcOck,) were on board, as also were Messrs. Wilde and Lamar, of Geo. with their families.
 From de Wilmington Adperfiser. June IS. On Thursday, the 14th instant, the steam. CT Pulaski, Capt. Dubois, left Charleston for Baltimore, with about 15O passengers, ol whom, about 50 were ladies. At about II o'clock on the same night, while of the North Carolina coast, say 90 miles from land, weather moderate and dark, the star- board boiler exploded, and the vessel was lost. with all the passengers and crew except those whose names are enumerated among the saved in the list to be found below. We have gathered the following facts from l the first mate, MT. Hibberd, who had charge of the boat at the time. Mir. Hubbard states ! that at about 10 o'clock at night he was call. ed to the command of the boat, and that he was pacing the promenade deck in front ol tho stcerage house that he found himself shortly after, upon the main deck, lying be- tween the mast and side of the boat !; that upon the return of consciousness, he had . confused idea of having heard an explosion something like that of gunpower immediate. ly before he discovered himself in his then situation. He was induced, therefore, to rise and walk aff, when he discovered that the boat midships was blown entirely to pieces that the head of the starboard boiler was blown out and the top torn open that the timbers and plank on the ssarbOard side wero

The Falls are ninety eight feet of descent. so tbat MT. Sul- livan must have fallen nearly one hundred and ttly Jeet! He was senseless and apparently dead for few moments, but only as t proved from the stunning operation of the concus- sion. and was soon able to make his way out of the chasm and reach his house, with but little assistance. He was bled freely, and is now nearly we'll. a living monument of . most remarkable providence The above facts are derived immediately from the physician who attended MT.

The Election for City Officers in St. Louis,

The Election for City Officers in ST. Louis
on the 81 inst, resulted in the triumph Of De.
mocracy. Previous to the day Of election, the
Democrats expressed a hope that the election
would not be conducted on party grounds, and
s"pposing that the opposition would not urge
the question, they ran no candidate for Mavor
7 ne election was warmly contestcd.-.,he
wings, early employing carriages to con.
vey their voters to the polls. The Democracy
discovering that the Wings were disposed to
grant no quarters, went to work in GOOD earn.
est and succeeded in elcc,ing EIGHT Aldermen
TO FOUR Wings.
The Republican boosted of bayior elected
their Mayor aud Constable, bu. the Cons,a-
Die thinking himself in bad company, au,bori-
yes the Argus to say that he has always been
a consistent Jackson man, ard is decided
friend of Mr.. Van Buren,.
This is, we believe, the first time the DE-.
mocracy have ever had the ascendancy in ST.
Louis. So much for the Sub-Trcasury Scheme.

Thursday of last week was tho day fixed
upon BY the Wings Of .Galena, for nominating,
by ballot, candidate for State Senator, which
resulted in the selection of Geo. w. Harrison.
Considerable interest was felt by the friends
of each aspirant for the success Of their man.
Col. Wight, it appears, took an early star.
and stirred up his friends in Elt-horn precinct,
ono Of his hot-beds, to hold meeting, few
days previous. at which he received vote OF
five 10 one. This movement was doubtless ex-
pected 10 have favorable influence in Galena;
but it would not do---,he Wings were not to

Harrison a majority of74. Mr.. II. is young
man Of respectable talent, and what we be-
lieve could not be said Of his competitor, pos

he is "tho,oughgoing and eonsistent Wing"

said that no handsome man could ever
