TERRIBLE DISASTER

DREADFUL STEAMBOAT EXPLOSIONS
the afternoon of the Cd instant, most
shocking disaster, occurred at the Steam
boat landing at the foot OF Poydras street,
New Orleans. At about o'clock, the
steamboat Marquette, Capt. E. A. Turpin,
while backing out from the wharf, burst
her boilers with most awful explosion,
scattering death and destruction around.
The report Of the explosion is represent
ed to have been tremendous, shaking the
very foundations of the houses on New
LeveN for several squares. No injury
was sustained by any other boat, although
several were near at the time the catas.
trophe occurred The Marquette had,
according 10 our information, made only
one or two revolutions, before she blew up.
The terrible scene, as described by
those who witnessed it Immediately after
the shocking accident, was awfuly heart
rending Portions Of the wreck werc
hurled, with human bodies, at immense
distances in the air. The boat was lit
orally shattered TO pieces, and the hull
and upper works from the wheel house
were completely destroyed.
1t is not ascertained how many lives
were lost by this dreadful catastrophe
but the loss Of life mus. have been very
great.
The Marquette was just from Mobile
and leaving for Cincinnati, for repairs.
The Captain and engineer we're ares
tell day or two after the awful occur.

NORTH CARoLINA.--The election for
members Of Congress in North Carolina
takes place on the 7th day Of next August
Both parties are on the track with their
strongest nags, and apparently confident
of success. We opine that the Wings
will achieve a decisive victory-al!hough
they have to labor under great dsadvan-
rages, owing TO the unfair gerrymander-
ing Of the State, some four years since,
by a locofoco legislature. Yet, notwith.
standing the difficulties which the indo.
mitable Wings Of the Old North State
will have TO encounter, we believe that
The same spirit Of self-denying patriotism
which actuated their forefathers in trying
scenes of rs, will lead them on to the
same glorious results.

from the Republic of Texas Of the most
important character A synopsis would
have been given last week, but for the
unexpected failure of the New Orleans
mail. the propositions Of the United
States Government for Annexation, have
been accepted by the Texan Congress by
unanimous vote and the proposals Of
Mexico, recognizing, on certain condl'
tens, the independence Of Texas, have
been Indignantly rejected. The feeling
in favor Of union wi tn their father-land
which pervades the citizens @! that Re
public, is as deep and irresistible as the
mighty current Of the Mississippi.

VIC pSICelFo tHoN thO SuAoI VI INV
Scuthron has taken down from the head
of his columns, the legislative ticket re-
Gently nominated by Wing county Con-
vention OF Kinds. We have seen no rea-
son assigned for the course the able edi-
tor of that sterling Wing journal has
thought proper to pursue; but we have
been verbally informed that the real cause
is TO be found in the fact, that some of the
nominees were in favor Of the "Original
Briscoe Bill" If SUCH be the case, we
think that the editor Sas pursued the on.
Iy course that duty and patriotism pointed
out. No man, or set O. men, tainted with
the heresy Of prirate reputation should
de allowed, for moment, TO remain in
the Wing ranks. Public liquidation is
bad enough, in all conscience, and for this
our state has been justly mathematical
throughout the civilized world But, If
possible, the reputation of private con
tracts, is much more odlous and detesta-
BILE, and Briscoe's Bill, the "Origina" one,
we mean, contemplates nothing else than
legsating out Of existence the indebted
ness due 10 our broken State Banks, thus
taking from the unfortunate holders o.
their now almost worthless paper the on
Ily chance Of ever realizing the slightes
piltance from money, earned mostly b!
those in whose possession it nowis, by
the sweat Of their brows. And yet III,
lordIy Bank Debtor may ride in his car
rage with impunity upon the labor o
those whom he paid in this WORTHLESS
trash, and which yet remains upon the
!, hands. Not satisfied with this, he cal
enter our halls Of legislation, and Their
enact laws, which will relieve him iron
E the payment Of debt, the very creation
Of which most probably is the cause o
i, his present sfluence.
Again, we repeat, we think that tn ed
tor of the Southron has pursued the onl,
r course Wing Editor could pursue, con
sistently with the dictates Of patriotism
and duty. Throw aside, as WORTHLESS
gar bage, all who are infected with tn
. vile heresy or"Briscoeism." Our rank
. may be thinned by SO doing, but sucI
pruning will promote more health,
and rapid growth Of the immutable prin
. ciples Of Justice and Right.

youth, TINT he enlisted, with all the enthusiasm Of
an ardent and jealous advocate, on the side OF de-

with sound discriminating mind, gave him great
and acknowledged influence among his friends; and,
perhaps, no man of his age exerted greater inhu-
ence in the election of Governor Shnze, and at a
time when party spirit ran higher than i ever did
before or since the days Of Jefferson. His whole
course, before and since his emigration to the State
