THE SENATE AND THE NAVY.

The friends of the Navy everywhere, are greatly
distressed with the course of the House of Represen
tatives in relation to the Navy appropriation bill
They however rely upon the Senate, with much conf
dence They neither will believe, that such
rash measure can receive the sanction ofthat highly in
teectual body. The whole nation has strong regard
for the Navy. Nor have they been remiss in express
sing their wishes to the members of Congress on the
subject Almost every paper in the Union, has APP
plauded the course of Judge Upshur, on account of
his able suggestions presented to Congress with the
view of sustaining gallant Navy. We can assure
our Representatives in all sincerity, that they have
grossly msinterpreted public opinion in voting to
strike the million of dollars out of the navy BILL and
they will find that they have erred when they meet
their constituents.

DOUGLAS AND DIANA) ON THE MIS-
SISSIPPI RIVER PASSEN GERS KILLED
AND WOUNDED.
MIR. Fowler, the clerk of the steamboat Talley-
rand, of this place, now at Smithland, arrived here
last night on the GoDdoa, who informs us that, as
the Talleyrand was returning from New Orleans,
she came up with the steamer Douglas, Oft Canadian
Reach about one hundred and twenty miles below
the mouth of the Ohio, in a sad and disabled cond-
ton 1t was midnight, and about half an hour be-
FORE the steampipe of the Douglas that the
boilers with the cylinder had exploded, disabling the
vessel and killing and woundng many of the passen-
gers. All the occupants of the ladies' cabin with
the exception Of little GIRL were either killed or
dangerously scalded We unable to procure the
names Of the sufferers but we learn that among the
killed was Mr. Leonard, of New Orleans, three
children and servant Three ladies, two children
and three men were so badly scalded to render re-
coyery hopeless Three other ladies were slightly
injured
The Talleyrand gave all the aid in her power, inn
mediatey taking the Douglas in tow and bringing
her up to Smthand, where medical aid was obtain
ed for the sufferers. The event was heartrending.
The cries of distressed sufferers and bereaved sur
vivors were painful beyond description. We regret
our inability to give of the particulars.
The DIANA, of Louisville, of the fastest boats
on the river met with similar accident near Hele
ma. on the Mississippi Sixteen or eighteen persons
were killed and wounded, whose names we are una
ble to obtain This sad intelligence is brought to us
by Mr. Fowler, who says there can be mistake in
if. as he has it from several sources, among which
is the Register at Vicksburg, whsre he saw it re-
corded
As this information came too late for the Union 0
this morning, we hasten to give it to the public
thu ugh this extra slip.

Mr.. EDITOR Permit me, through your valuable
paper to call the attention of the public to very
markable cure effected by the application of the
wel-known Vapor Bath, the invention of Major
BOYD REILLY, now resident in our city.
Mrs. QUIGLEY, elderly lady, residing the
Navy Yard Bridge, had, for length of time, been
afflicted by severe attack Of infammatory rheuma-
tism. The blood in the patient had forsaken the
face, is often the when persons in advanced
years and of spare habits take cold her skin had
sumed the CHASTITY hue of death, and an excrucatng
spasmodic pain shot from the right shoulder into the
might have been the consequence had it reached the
heart or the lungs. To add to her sufferings, her
right hand and arm were, from excrucating torture,
deprived of all power of motion. Medical aid hav-
ing failed to afford relief Major Reilly, by and with
the advice of the respected family physician, made
the first application of the vaor bath, which restored
the vital stream to the surface aayed the pain, and
relieved the right arm so as to enable her to raise
cup of drink to her lips the second application has
restored her far to allow her not only to leave
her bed but also her room, and she may now be
sidered in state Of convalescence.
Ihave made this communication Mr. Editor purely
from sense of duty and desire to extend the ben
efts of application, the high merits of which have
occasionally come under my observation whilst in the
discharge of my official functions.
To persons similarly afflicted, especially where the
ordinary efforts of medical skill prove unavailing,
do not think it presumption to say, try Major Reys
mature aiding Vapor Bath

TO the Hon. Willie p. Mangum,:


You are State-Rights mani should rather
say, you anere such person-but where now
are the principles that guided you in the contest
between Gen. Jackson and South Carolina Is
there one which you have lately advocated, or
even alluded to-? If so, we cannot find them
in the record. They are gone-gone
=" like the baseless fabric of vision,
Leaving not wreck behind"
True it is that on leaving college, you COM
menced your career by pursuing the course you
are now following opposition 10 your country s
rights, honor and interests but still we were
willing to forgive your youthful ebullitions in ia
vor of Federalism, and in opposition to the war,
and hence, when you were found acting with
Mr. Tyler few short years since, we had reason
10 hope that you turned from the errors of your
ways Alas for human nature, however, you
wheeled about and jumped Jim Crow in man
ner perfectly astonishing and astounding; for
where could contrarieties be found so palpable
to the most superficial observer, as those which
have always existed between Messrs. Calhoun
and Clay? And yet, at one fell swoop, you
quit those with whom you acted, entirely, and
threw yourself into the arms of American Sys-
TENS, United States Banks, and all those corrupt
and demoralizing courses which it has been the
object of certain leader to inhict upon the
country What has caused this? Is it dispo-
sition to run with Mr. Clay for the Vice Presi-
dency, having, by assuming his service as
Charley, taken the mantle of Dication? | do
not know, nor do suspect, your motives; and
vet your course has ian awful squirting" that
way. One thing, however, is certain: your
past course must show your friends that you are
not to be trusted, aud mistake much, if the next
election in your State does not show strong in
cIinaton towards the same expression Of opinion.
This, two or three months will determine, and
bide the time in confidence. My only inten-
ton in addressing you, is to initiate the practice
of the day, by delivering a course of lectures,
in regard to expression OF yours, That you
which fear you are now doing. In talking
with you, shall pursue the course of friend,
for think an examination of your own heart
and conscience will prove to you that
aExtenuate nothing, nor set down aught in malice"
But public servants, like private ones, need an
occasional reprimand; and although do not
possess the power of competition, where an
honorable Senator" is concerned, sl, the bee
generally finds out the tender points of larger
animal than yourself. therefore give you fair
warning to prepare for stings.

Editor Of the MadisOnian /:

SIR | am, and ever have been, and believe ever
shall be, from principle, a Democrat. Of course l
shall support present worthy President in all the
measures which he from time to time may propose
to Congress which are of that nature and when
see any trait Of his heart which the People ought to
know, and for which he is proverbial, shall mention
it. poor, but worthy man, Mr. PErTRIcH, who oc-
cupes an old public bull ding in the of the Pre-
sdent's mansion, was stabbed by some villain night
before last, and early yesterday morning, as | was
passing by, seeing few persons at that place,
crossed over New York avenue, which he resided,
and to my establishment, behed JOHN TYLER, seat
ed on of the sculptured stones, inquring into all
the circumstances of the attempted murder, and ad-
mlnistering comfort to the afflicted and humble me-
chanc. This; sir, speaks volumes.
No one ever doubted John Tylers honesty and ca
pability, and who doubt the goodness of his
hearth
am from New York, and have no little influence
in that State, and am resolved to give him
firing support for re-eecton-the People can have
no better man. -.

our private rights, shall authorize the honorable
Mr. Anterior, of New Hampshire, to prosecute him

Here's another scrape. We hope there will
be no bloody Florida sword used by either
