TUE UNITED STATES STEAM FRI
GATE ACKNOWLEDGES OF LIEUT..
BORDEN AND FIFTEEN MEN!

We understand that information was yester-
dav received at the Navy Department, that the
II s. steam frigate Missouri, Captain J. t.
Newton. in ascending the Potomac river, on her
wav TO Washington, with pilot on board, ran
AGROUND on Monday, opposite the harbor OF
Part Tobacco. Every effort was Immediately
made to get her of, by backing her engines and
taking the guns and other .weighty articles aft.
Lieut. JOHN F. BORDEN was sent out in charge
Of boats crew, with an anchor, for the pur-
pose of heaving the vessel off; when by some
means the boat was most unfortunately
swamped and this meritorious officer and fifteen
men persisted, while in the faithful performance
Of their duty.
So far as the facts of the case have come to
the knowledge of the Department, every pre-
caution usual in such cases seems TO have been
taken by the officers, and there is no reason to
attach blame 10 them for this deplorable acct
dent OF course, however, the subject will be
fully investigated in the proper manner.
Immediately on receipt Of the intelligence,
the Mississippi, which had arrived on Monday,
was despatched to render aid if necessary. 1t
was expected that the Missouri would be gol
off at the next high tide.

AMERICAN NEWSPAPERS CIRCULATING

two and a half sheets, the whole of Bulwers last
novel Zazoni and the New World is coming out

Jonathan publication is only three cents under one
hundred miles, and not two cents more to any part
of the Union Thus this novel can reach any part
of the country for sixteen cents.
Two things strike us in connexon with these en-
terprises. The first is, the almost impossibty of
procuring purchasers for American books when En-
ghsh books from the ablest writers can be sold thus
cheap and the next is, the made of the mails
circulate books. Nothing in Zanon can be look
ed upon in the light of newspaper, and yet as it
goes into the mails, it takes the benefit of ncwspa-
per publication
The effect of these enterprises must be, in
the end to concentrate in New York the greater part
Of the publishing business of the light and bellies let

We subjoin with the heartfelt satisfaction of
veteran disciples Of the weed, the subjoined in
formation, copied from the Pennsylvania In
quirer. Since the counterbast Of the royal
James-smokers have been righfully con-
sidered by many to be under the ban of the
polished community as well as generally of
medical wsdom-and not poetry itself could
mnge any brilliant colors with the smoke of
the pipe or cigar Though physicians have not
been altogether so hostile to the use Of tobac-
CO, yet their opinions have been drowned by
popular clamor. Still il has prevailed in spite
of opposition. We hope that, abetted by the
authority we give: it will now, at least, enjoy
the poor privilege of liberation.
Dr. Mott, of New York, has come out in favor OF
the use of Tobacco he says it is a preventive, or
perhaps for Laryngeal Phthsis and Bronchitis.
ftha is the case, there will be less difficulty in

THE DISTRIBUTION BILL.

We publish to-day the message of the President to
the House of Representatives, recommending re-
peal of the act of the extra session, providing for
distribution of the proceeds of the sales of public
lands limitations that the President was about to
propose such measure gained currency some days
ago. and glad to that he has not disappoint
ed the predictions of those who confidently believed
that his opinions had undergone change. We have
always looked upon the act one of the most impoli-
tic that could have been passed, especially after the
amendment was inserted, which involved the protect
i've duty. The repeal Of this unwise act to be
mperalively demanded by all parties and by none
more than those who really wish to obtain from i'm
ports a revenue sufficient to meet the wants of the
Government. The views expressed in the message
are such must find hearty response in the mind Of
every man worthy the name Of an American, whe-
ther in Congress or out of il. The country wants a
revenue of thirty five forty millions to be raised on
imports 1t matters not whether the tariff which i'm
poses the duty be called rerenue or protective ia
riff. Such a one will meet the wants Of the Gov
eminent will give all the protection that any
desire.

the salary of such judge $500 for each failure
This amendment was debated by Messrs.
Cross, Own, Thompson, of Mississippi, and
Adams, when, upon division called by Mr.
Andrews, it was discovered there was no quo
rum present, Mr.. Adams moved call OF
the House, which was ordered, and III
members answered TO their names The
roll was again called, when 1874 members
answered TO their names. The doors were
then closed, and the names OF the absentees
being called, various excuses were offered, which
occupied the House until nearly five o'clock,
when all further proceedings under the call were
suspended, and the House adjourned.
The Loan bill was taken up in the Senate,
and Mr.. Wright and Mr.. Smith, of Indiana, de-
ivered their views.

The House, as partial atonement for pre-
viously protracted neglect, now appears to ad-
vance with commendable activity in dsposng
OF the various items of the General Appropra-
ton bill The effort at industry has not COM
menced too soon already have more than three
months elapsed since authority has expired for
paying any of the Government officers or Gre
ditors, saving and excepting always the Mem
bers of Congress. But, as we have, in the per-
Torrance of our duty of public journalists, here
ofore given notice of the fact that real business
dragged heavily in the sessions of the House,
and that little or nothing Of importance had been
effected by it during lapse of three months, we
conceive it equally incumbent on US to inform
our readers of the amendm, mt that has taken
place in the conduct of our Legislators. We
have only to hope that the good spirit may last,
but we fear we may be disappointed. 1t is not
necessary that we should go back into the histo-
nv of our legislation to discover the reasons for
our apprehensions. Very recent events prog
nosticate that legislative deliberations unless
the future varies vastly in aspect from the past,
will yield to passions and interests too powerful
to be controlled.
