said to have been in the mill when the

The Missouri. From the official
statement it seems that the U. S. Steam
er Missouri caught fire in this way: A
cool-heavor named Sutton, in attempting
to get pair of beam scales in the En-
gineer's store-room, knocked down a
wrench, which fell and broke demiiohn
containing spirits of turpentine, which
ran through and fell upon the canvass
around the steam chest. Another man
named Clum who was below with lamp,
thinking it was water, attempted to wipe
it up-when the spirits falling upon his
lam? took fire, the felt caught, and in an
instant the flooring of the store-room
above was in hames.-N Y. Tribune.

ton was held E this State last week.
Complete AMI definite returns have been
received from all the counties. The re-
suit Is that the Wings have AZ Delegates
out of the 81, OF which the lower House
consists, and have consequently majority
of II in that branch of the Legislatures

branches, the election of an u s. Senator
for six years is secured, and a Wing d.
vision Of the State into Congressional Dis
lricts. Last year the Democratic major

is concerned, and probably in the election
Of Governor. In 40 counties heard from,
the Wing majority is $3.50. In the same
counties in l84l, the Wing majority was
2, l76-Whig gain 3,0l3. The Mem
