Steamer Chcrokee's Explosion. We
! find in the Arkansas Star, of the 9TH, some
further particulars relative to the late
dreadful explosion of the Cherokee, by far
the most disastrous which ever occurred on
the Arkansas river. The Cherokee left
Little Rock for New Orleans on Thursday
evening, 9th inst, and arrived at Louis
burg about sunrise on Friday morning, af-
ter stopping at that place about Is minutes
and just as the captain had rung the bell
TO start, she collapsed the fue of one boiler
and burst another. The boiler which ex-
ploded was hurled with terrible velocity d.
recily through the cabin crushing every
thing that mpeded its impetuous progress,
and tearing away the starboard side Of the
boat, leaving it Il hopeless wreck. Ten
passengers and the second engineer were
instantly killed, and six others were so
badly scalded, that they survived but few
hours.
Capt. Harris who was in his berth at the
time the explosion occurred, was hurled
from it into the after part Of the ladies ca
bin, with such violence as to break his
qack, and little hope of life is entertained.
L he Cherokee was just leaving the landing
and the first revolution of her engine SCUM
ded the death note Of sixteen hopeless indi-
viduals. The explosion must have been Il
powerful one, the noise we are told was
tremendous, and the boiler which was
bursted was literally rended from end to
end. We have heard no cause assigned
for the terrible and heart-renidng calami-
ty, bat those who have been made widows
and orphans by it will be com(ortcd by the
assurance that "no blame can attach to
any one"
One Of the boilers was blown into the RI
yer and another on the bank. Capt. Arm
strong who was on board with $4,000
in specie, was slightly injured. The spe-
Gle was nearly all saved. The boat com
menced sinking so rapidly, that nearly oil
her freight was lost. It's supposed the ac-
cident twas caused by not letting the steam
off when the boat stopped.

From the ". Y. Herald,
HON. ISAAC HILL.

Isaac Hill is a remarkable man in many respects,
and singular in his manner and personal appear
unce. His figure is somewhat tall and ungninly and
this is rendered the more so, from defect in his
walking, lie is thin, snewy, with sharp features
and settled pale complexion into which the blood
scarcely ever seems 10 rush. The leaturers Of his
face in repose seemed twisted, and have painful
expresson and the first idea impressed by the hp-
pearance of his face on The mnd Ola stranger, Is
that he is suffering acutely from sick ness Ills voice
is thin, harsh and wry, without melody or modnla-
ton in ordinary conversation But the instant he
becomes animated with his subject, the whole as
pect, speech and manner of the man are completely
changed His eyes (which are at all times brilliant,
and full of espressiOn) light up with the fire of in
teect, until they seem almost to blaze; his thin
lips, (Which in repose are firmly compressed, and
are the most striking feature in his face) culver and
curl alternately with smile or IA sarcasm, display
ing beautiful set of teeth; and his voice no lon
ger "ppes and whistles in the sound" but breaks
out with energy, full, round, and thrilling in its
tones And his simple earneslness of manner adds
interest to the mos, trihng subject he touches,
whilst his energy Of expression convinces all who
hear him that he believes what he says and that it
would take long time and much trouble TO con-
vince him 10 the contrary. Such is Isaac Hill.
