DREADFUL SrEA MBOAT AC
CIDENT.

1t becomes our painful duty (says
the st. Louis Reveile of the 25th ult.)
to record one of the most serious dis
asters that has occurred upon our wa
ters since the explosion of the steamer
"E,na." The steamer Big Halchee.
Capt. Frisbee, which left St. Louis on
the Goth instant for the Missouri river,
with some forty passengers on board,
in leaving the landing at Hermann,
about ! o'clock, a. NJ, on the 23d
instant, on her way to St. Joseph's.
burst her starboard boiler with Il loud
explosion, which forced it strait for
ward overheard, the steam discharging
itself alolt, carrying away the main cab
in as far aft as the ladies cabin, making
a perfect wreck of the boat, and spread
ing death and desolation among the
passengers.
The explosion scalded some twenty
or thirty persons; five or six were Kill
led; among the number was Mr.. Law
renee Hoyle, of st. Louis, and The
first and second engineers Of the boat;
the third engineer, a son of Mr.. Lud-
low. OF st Louis, was badly scalded.
There We're but small number OF
passengers in the cabin, but they num-
bered between forty and fifty on deck ;
and fortunately for them it was that
the engine-room was filled with lumber,
which prevented the steam and water
from reaching as far back and doing
the mischief it would otherwise have
done. The number killed and missing
cannot be correctly ascertained, as the
passenger book, in which the names of
those on deck were registered. was
lost. There were number of ladies
on board, none of whom were serious
ly injured. At the time Of the acci-
dent nearly all the passengers were in
their berths; it being about O'Clock,
A. M. From this fortunate circum-
stance, many. no doubt, escaped being
hurried into eternity. Shortly after
the explosion, the steamer Wapello
passed down; she stopped and render
ed every assistance in her power to
the sufferers. The boat had floated
down the river some distance; the Wa
pello towcd her back to Hermann,
where the unfortunate persons injured
will doubtless receive every attention.
No cause has been assigned for this
terrible disaster.

ing dust in the eyes Of those whose
business it is TO see that full duties are
paid. We accuse them of no unfair
dealings, but if others should so accuse
them, we should not think ourselves
called on to enter upon their defence.
Human nature is human nature, after
all that can be said or done; and when
we know that wool has been seized in
the possession of manufacturers for
having been falsely entered at the GUS
tom houses, we shall not think our
selves very uncharitabe for deeming
the said manufacturers as having been
accessories after the fact to smuggling;
as being guilty "art and part" as the
Scotch verdicts used to say. The in
terest of the manufacturers is to get
the raw material at as low a rate as
possible; and to suppose that they
would feel any scruples at cheating
the wool growers of this country, or
the government, is to lay to their charge
degree of verdancy which no one
who knows them so well as we do,
will do them the injustice of sup
posing them guilty. The manufactur-
ers fleece the people by taxing every
thing that they consume at the highest
rate, in order that they themselves may
divide from 95 to 40 per cent. on their
capital; and at the same time do not
hesitate 20 encourage smuggling in
such way as cannot fail to lessen
what little profit they professedly al
low to the agricultural interest.
In this matter Of wool, the West
has great and direct interest. In the
process of time, vast quantities of wool
must be raised in this part Of the Union
and if protection is TO be the order of
the day, it is nothing more than fair
ness would seem TO dictate, that west
ern farmers should be allowed few
items to aid in striking a balance
against the bloated manufacturers and
miners of New England and the middle
States. Let the west look to it, and
not permit the power which it posses
ses to be turned aside from the vindi-
cation Of its rights. Power can shiver
canning to atoms, if it but so will; and
it will deserve to fall if it does not
assert, when convinced, as it must be,
of its right, its superior over fraud.

A great number were found with stabs
of yatagans upon their bodies. Some
had great number of wounds, and it
was evident that in the course Of that
dreadful night, and in the midst of that
horrible darkness, terrible struggle
had occurred, of which these were the
marks, already nearly six hundred bod
les have been taken out of the cavern,
and there are many more yet in it,
which we have been unable to reach.
Eight hundred men, women, and chill
dren have perished. The whole of the
Rians are exterminated."
In the Chamber of PEGS, on the 1lth
instant, the Prince of Mo skowa refer
red to this dreadful event, which, he
said, was happily without example
in the military history of the kingdom,
being premeditated murder Of con-
quered and defenceless prisoners, and
called upon the Minister of War to say
what the government would do if the
statement were true, or to deny it if
false Marshall Sout did not deny
the truth of the published accounts, but
said that those he had received were
so contradictory that he ha / thought it
his duty to demand further information
on the subject. He added that the
government highly dIsapproved of what
had been done, and that he had writ
ten to that effect to Marshal Buguead.
The Count de Montalebert thought the
word "disapproved" a very weak ex-
preston IN the circumstances. He
would rather say with ''horror." Mar
shall Soult then added, that if the cx-
preston was not sufficiently strong, he
had no hesitation in adding that he
deplored the event. The conversation
then dropped, but the impression made
upon the Chamber was Il very painful
one.
Spain continues in very deplora-
bic state. In Catalonia, there have
been risings of the people in oppo-
sition TO military acquisitions.
Switzerland is likely to have quiet
restored within her borders.

The funeral was attended by vast
assemblage Of the neighboring country.
and the funeral sermon was preached
by the Rev. A Dony, Lutheran preach
er of Belleville, who had attended for
a very different service. Tears; burn
ing tears-coursed down the faces of
both preacher and auditory during lis
delivery, and the hearts Of all were i'm
pressed by the affecting scene. "What
shadows we are, and what shadows
we pursue"
Mr.. Huelberg, the father, had riser
early on the day before, and started
for the place of these graves. They
were all cheerful and happy, and
bounding with hope. One carriage
contained them, and as they approach
ed the river, where the ferry was await
ing them, and were crossing the bot
tom on the road which was covered
with water, the horses were turned
off overseeing the carriage and its pas
sengers into deep slough or ravine.
The water was running rapidly. The
father clung to the vehicle-the son to
a cluster Of bushes. One girl; the
youngest daughter, was floating with a
trunk. "Hold fast daughter" cried the
father. 81 will said she. Another girl
was between the struggling horses.
The rest had sunk to the bottom. Two
hunters came up, and to them the old
man called to save bis youngest daught-
er who was clinging TO the trunk--he
was old and could not swim. One of
them swan to the floating girl. who
seized him by the leg and prevented
him from swimming. He shook her
of, intending to take her up again by
a better hold--but he saw her no more;
she was gone forever. The unit of
her life was added to those of other
lost ones, and with them withdraw
from the sum of human existence.

PERu.- DIFFICULTIES WITH THE ENG
LlsH.-An officer on board the U. S.
ship Savannah, writing to the editor of
the New York Commercial Advertis-
er, under date ofCalloa, May 10, says:
The English are at loggerheads with
the Peruvians. Some time since, dur
ing the revolution, while Castillo, the
present President, was fighting for the
presidential char one of his generals
entered the house Of the English con-
sui at africa, while the English flag
was flying over it, and took prisoner
who had taken refuge under the flag;
the same man also prevented the Eng
lish steamer from watering at that port.
For these improprieties the English,
now that the Government is establish
ed, demand of Castillo that he forth
with discharge and disgrace the gen
eral under whose orders the outrage in
africa was perPetrated.
This he cannot or will not do, as the
man is one of the frmest and most
faithful generals. The English demand
his dismissal from the army, and large
sum as damages, or they will blockade
every port in Peru. They have large
force anchored near US; one seventy

soning her four days after marriage,
rendered verdict Of of"guilty,' when
the following sentence was pronounced:
Judge Parker-Henry G. Green,
stand up.
The prisoner rose. pale but preserv-
ing the same fixed and imperturable
look which he had maintained through
the whole trial.
Judge-liave you any thing to say
why the judgment Of the law should
not now be pronounced upon you?

Judge--Notwithstanding this, an in
telligent and honest jury have found
you guilty, and it is not to be denied
that there is no individual who has
heard this trial, that does not concur
fully in the righteousness of that ver-
dict. You stand condemned as guilty
of having murdered your wife. Your
case, in all its aspects, exceeds in enor-
nifty any of which | have ever heard.
1t will no doubt stand out on the page
of history, as the most criminal, awful
case of murder that ever came before
court and jury.
You murdered her deliberately.--
You murdered the woman whom you
had sworn but one short week, | may
say but four days before to cherish
through life.
Was il ever known that so interesting
and holy a relation as that Of man and
wife, has been followed thus soon by
result so shocking and painful to all
the feelings ofnatule? Now, the law
pronounces your sentence. You are
to be executed-cut off in the prime
of life, or rather just as you are enter
ing on life-where you had rich and
powerful friends TO aid you when you
might have been respected--but from
which you are to be cut off and con-
signed to an early grave.
1t is the judgment of'the law, that on
Wednesday the 10th Of September
next, between the hours of 8 o'clock
in the moraing and O'Clock In the af-

ABOLITIONISM.

Our citizens were edited, few days since, by
the speeches of some itinerant abolltionists, who
have taken it upon themselves to enlighten tho
good people ofths country, upon the duties which
they owe to the African slave. And, in the course
of their remarks, they further took it upon them
selves to do that which, had they lived in the days
of the American revolution, and been in the
would have caused their bones to bleach on the
same tree of the forest. We mean by this that
these itinerant ,bolitionsts in the most dastardy
and wilful manner, spoke of this country and its
government as being the home of tyranny and op-
preston, and all American citizens who would not

From the Ohio Statesman.
PULLING THE WOOL OVER THE EYES
OF THE PEOPLE, IN ORDER THAT
MANUFACTURERS CAN GET FOREIGN
WOOL FREE OF DUTY

MANUFACTURERS CAN GET FOREIGN
WOOL FREE OF DUTY.
A great deal is said by the advocates
of the protective humbug, about the
encouragement which their system al
iords to the wool-grower. To hear
some Of them talk, you might be ex.
cused for believing that the actual
growth of wool on the sheep depend.
ed upon the existence of a protective
tariff; and that it would not grow if a
system OF low duties were adopted =
The sincerity Of these men is to be
tested by their acts, the standard by
which all human professions should be
tried. They will not stand the test oI
such trial, any more than other whig
professions.
Some two weeks since, 4 lot of wool
was seized at Lowell, Mass by an Off
Ger Of the customs at Boston. The
wool was imported into New York
and Boston, from Buenos Ayres, and
paid duty Of five per cent ad yalorem,
as costing seven cents per pound OF
under, at the place of expectation. 1t
was subsequently discovered to have
been greatly underrated. 1t should
have paid the highest rate specified by
the namely, three cents per
pound and thirty per cent. The guam
tity was not far from GOO bales, and
the value, between $4,000 and $780,
900. A portion Of it was consigned to
a New York house, and the remainder
to Boston firm.
In mentioning this affair, the Boston
Post says:-"lt is proper to add that
we are informed by one Of the parties
whose names have been connected
with the transaction, that the con-
signees are confident that an investiga-
ton will terminate in the release of the
wool, and in the exoneration Of the for
eign house implicated from suspicion
of dishonesty" Oh, certainly, no one
can suspect either the "foreign house,"
or the "consignees," of having been
engaged in any transaction of fraud
ulent character. How can even sus-
picious light upon such respectable
people? ltis true, the "foreign house"
and the "consignees" have both d.
rect interest in cheating the govern
ment and swindling the wool-growlng
farmers; but who does not know that
ne promptiags will lead "busness"
man to cheat? And it is really aston
ishing how much innocence there is in
the world, and how grievously inno-
cent men are misused. There are no
criminals on the earth, if we can place
any reliance on the asseverations Of
those charged with crime; and but for
the existence of courts and police Off
ces, and the general prosperity Of the
legal profession, the world might be
looked upon as but continuation of
Eden. 1t is positively shocking, the
way in which innocent individuals are
maligned and prosecuted bv world
which will not be content with mind
ing its own business, but insists upon
interfering with that of gentlemen
whose misunderstanding to their
own showing-are as white as their
lilly hands.
TO speak more gravsly, every man
who knows any thing about the matter,
is aware that the government IS swlnd-
led on large scale, as are also all
American wool-growers, on the article
of wool. 1t is notorious at the east,
that much Of this article passes through
