Dreadful CATASTROPHE, SEV-
ENTEEN OR EIGHTEEN LIVES


An event ola most melancholy nature oc-
Cured on Saturday evening last, the parilcu-
lars Of which, so far rs we have been able to
obtain them, we lay before our readers. For
some time pnst large number ofmasons aud
lnhourers have been employed on Cedar Is
land, in the construction ofone ofthe redOuhts
intended for the defence of the hnrbor Some
OF the men had temporary shauties OH the is
land and resided there, but the greater por-
ton daily crossed to and from the city. On
Saturday evening, immediately after closing
work, twenty three or twenty four of these
crowded themselves into row boat, for the
purpose decreasing the channolto point Fred
erick, there 20 land and come across the har-
hor by the bridge. There was rather II heav-
Y sea setting down the channel at the time,
and fears were expressed by some Of those in
the boat that, deeply sunk MS she was she
Could not cross in sdiCty-tcarS which were
unfortunately but too fully realized. When
about mid channel wave struck the boat
and threw in a large quantity OF water, n
farming several of the men, who, entirely for
getting themselves suddenly rose up, aud the
boat Immediately upset A terrible scene
eusued. Some ot'the meu were able 10 swim
and cndeavOred TO save themselves, bnt We're
gruppled by others, and thus sunk beneath the
wavcs--SiX men only out of the number sue
ceeded in clingng TO the boat until assistance
arrived. The remainder, seventeen or eigh-
teen in number persisted. Nearly all of them
were married men, some having large tami-
lies dependent upon them for support. Sev.
enteen bodies have been recovered: one man
is yet missing, but it appears doubtful wheth-
er he entered the i'll fatcd boat.--We have MS
yet been unable to obtain the names of the
unfortunate men who have been thus sudden
" called into eternity. The extent Of the ca
lamity may be estimated when we mention
that serenity t,0O children have, by the catastro-

within the past two days, from their cores

How the Sub-Treasury currency will pass,
here, remains to be seen. 1t hoped, how
ever, the notes will be promptly redeemed
with gold at the Sub-Treasury Office, above

. GENERAL DlNISiON-FURTllE
FROM GENERAL WOODS COMMAND,
The New Orleans Delta, of 18Th instant, re-
ceivcd the following letter from one high in
command under General Wool:
. - SAN ANTONIO De BExAR,
September z, 1916,
1t affords me pleasure to inform you that
General Wool intends to put in motion the adj
vance ofhis division upon Chihuahua, as ear
~ as the 18th instant. He only waits for sup
plies from Lavacca, which are on the way.
We expect them in the course OF some four
or five days. They consist ofarms for Colo
mel Yelps regiment OF mounted men, ammu-
milton for Captain Washingtou's company of
artillery, and subsistence for the troops. The
roads have been so bad, in consequences of
rain which continued for twenty successive
days, that they were found almost impossible.
A few dry days have greatly improved them,
and consequently the supplies are rapidly
coming forward.
The General has been here preparing for
the Invasion of the province of Chihuahua
since the 18th ult He will no doubt enter its
capital in the month of October. He will
have very efficient force, although it will he
composed principally of volunteers. They
are the best troops of the kind have ever
seen, and exceedingly well Differed. The
Colonies, Yell, Hardin and Bissell, are intelli-
gent and efficient.
The force now concentrated is rising of
three thousand men. Ofthese eight compa-
MES are regulars, four Outrageous, one Of ar
tilery, and three ofthe 9th intantry-ali eff
cient aud well commanded. If we should
meet with an enemy OH our route, you may
rely upon it they will give very good ac-
count ofthenIselves, as well as the volunteers.
Indeed no one doubts of success with three
times their number opposed to them. Adieu,

they mounted with six pieces ofcnnnon. The

shots into the Nauyoo Camp, solicited par
ley. This the Nauvooies refused them, re-
turning for an answer that they had done
talking. The action then began on both sides
with desperation. The firing of artillery
soon closed and the battle was changed to

Forbidden Love.
By HENRY MoRFoRD.

By HENRY MoRFoRD.
Earth is an Eden yet, a smiling land
With sunny skies and ever living flowers;
Adam and Eve vet wander hand in hand
Down sunny slopes and through eternal bowers;
And still as erst at Gods supreme command
The tree Of Life sheds blossoms on the hours
That float away upon the rivers tide,
Leaving holy fragrance as they glide.
And there are apples yet in Eden, bright
With golden sunlight, tempting to the taste,
Glorious, how glorious! to the gazer's sight,
And plucked forever with careless haste,
Whose plucking is avenged with fearful might,
Whose knowledge makes a desert and waste;
And there are those who eat, and strive in vain
Their by-gone blindness to recall agan.
I plucked ate; and then sept-how long
know not but slept in happy dreams
OF woods made vocal with winged throng,
And golden sands that flowed with chrystal streams
OF scenes that rose with Mennon's sunrise song,
And set at evening with unoouded beams,
OF diamond starlight in Italian skies,
And angels looking out from human eyes.
An angel blessed me, and an angel held
Her white hand in my own, the same sweet voice
Whose music filled my morning thoughts of old
Bade the young spirit Of my heart rejoice;
For me her pulses beat, her young heart swelled,
Andin my ear | heard her dearest choice,
And on my neck felt those white arms flung
Whose thrilling touch defes mortal tongue.
woke-and there were voices in the air,
And means and broken sobs-an uprased sword
Cleaned close beside me- and the spirit fair,
Whose fond and tender breathings had heard,
Knelt pleadingwith a look of wild despair,
And clasping hands and many broken word,
To Join the broken bands again, and twine
The wreath of her bright golden hair with mine.
We were divided, as the storm divides
The silken sails of pleasures fairy bark
When the destroyer on the tempest rides,
And earth and heaven are desolate and dark;
We were divided, and above the tides
OF grief and sorrow, could only mark
That he who held the flashing blade above
Was Circumstance forbidding human love.

than "a farthing." We at the same tune
regret that il is not in our power to say
more calculated to render him ''happy and
