0G-We occupy q large portion Oh OUT columns 20"
day with accounts Of the sad disaster on board the
U. S. ship Princeton. The calamity is a fearful
one; and the death which it occasioned Of the two
most valuable members Of President Tyler's Cabi-
net, is national bereavement.
The funeral ceremonies took place on Saturday
A large concourse assembled at the Presidents
House at II o'clock, where short and impressive
address was made by Rev. MIR. Tustan, chaplain TO-
the Senate. The procession was headed by the
military consisting of volunteer companies and reg
ular troops all making very handsome display.
The number of carriages and hacks in attendance
was large and contained the acting President
ing heads ofdepartment, foreign ministers, mem
bers of Congress. SC. &C. The bodies Of Mr.. Up
shur, Mr. Gilmer, and Capt: Kennon, the two lat
ter cover with the national flag, were in hearses,
distributed at intervals in the line of hacks After
these came an empty hearse, the body of Mr.. Max
cy having been removedby his relatives to the bu-
rial ground Of his ancestors in Maryland, and the
hearse of Mr. Gardiner. Many of the private hous.
es along the Avenue were clad with mourning, and
the doors and windows of oil with sympathizing
and anxious countenances.
The day passed without any serious accident.
The horses attached to the carriage in which were
the acting President and the junior members of his
family, became unmanogeable on the return from
the burial ground, and nearly the whole length
Of the Avenue, but were stopped near the Treasury
buildings by some blacks and without any damage.
A committee Of Congress have, at the request of
Capt Stockton, examined witnesses as to the cause
Of the explosion; from which it appears that the
gun was loaded with rs pounds of powder-the
usual charge being thirty pounds. The gunner of
the ship is of opinion that the gun was Indifferent
ly made of iron of inferior quality. The commit
tee exoncrate Capt. Stockton and his officers from
the slightest imputation of rashness.
The ladies of Messrs. Catlin and Simons were ON
board the Princeton at the time Of the explosion.
The Attorney General (Nr. Nelson) acts as Sec
rotary of State, and Commodore Lewis Warrington
Secretary of the Navy, until successors to Messrs
Upshur and Gilmer are appointed 1t is hoped
| that Mr.. Webster will return to the State Depart
ment.

degrading state of morality as exhibited in a
transaction which transpired within few miles
of this place, 4 short time since. The circum-

them, arc as follows; Henry Adams and Jacob
Ensperrer, both mutually dissatisfied with their

EDUCATION.

Every boy should have his head, his heart and
his hand educated let this truth never be forgot
ten.
BY the proper eddaation Of his head, he will
be taught what is good and whatis evil, what is
wise and what is foolish, what is right and what
is wrong. BY the proper education Of the heart,
he will be taught to love what is good, wise, and
right and to hate what is evil, foolish and wrong;
and blythe proper education Of the hand, to add
to his comforts and to assist those that are around
him.
The highest objects of a good education are
to reverence and obey God, and to love.and serve
mankind; everything that helps in attaining these
Iobccts is ofgrcat value, and everything that him
ldcta It's is compatifigely worthless. ilei' WIS.,
