DREADFUL LOSS OF LIFE

DREADFUL LOSS OF LIFE.
We learn from the New Orleans Picayuno,
of the Sd inst, that about o'clock on Fri
day morning last the steamers De Soto and
Buckeye came in collision near the mouth OF
A1chafalaya, and that the Buckeye sunk in
less than Ave minutes to her hurricane deck,
and that between sirty aud eighty lives had
been lest in consequence. The Picayune
says:
" These on board say that the scene which
ensued Immediately was hsart-rending be-
yond description. The passengers were sll
asleep at the time and instantly rushed to
the guards and cabin in constsrn alton
mothers screaming for their children, hus-
bands and fathers rushing from point to point
and frantically endeavoring to save their
wives and families from destruction. All,
or nearly all were in their night-clothes, and
ia the confusion the boldest and most self
possessed could do little else than save them
selves, Notwithstanding every endeavor was
made 70 rescue the children. Of the deck
passengers, many Of whom were blacks, but
few were saved. so suddenly did the Buck
eye 60 down."

Another Cometl

As we were passing down street The other
ewing, we observed two gentlemen engaged
apparently in earnest conversation, one Of
whom was pointing to the north, and upon
our near approach we heard one o. the gem
tlsmen say, "It certainly is; why. can't you
see the tail pointing upward!" With that
we came up and the gentleman who seen
the tail, asked us if we had seen the Comet!
We told him we had not. "Well, said he,
taking US by the shoulder, g lsok there in
the North, loo doom, can't you see it I the
tail pointing up, it is as very plain, the body
is very large and round" We, somewhat
anxious TO see the neW Comet, STEPPED out TO

prise, we beheld, in The dim moonlight, the
SieepIe Of the Presbyterian Church! The

She's trusted in Thy hands,
token Of her faith in thee,
And in affections bands.
And may the wreath thou'st twined
For nor fair and sunny brow,
Be still as bright in after years,
And green as it is now;
May cupid ever guide thee on
Where loves bright flowers bloom,
And bliss, and Joy, and happiness,
Thy pearly path illume IS
