We have received through the eastern papers, and
also in slip from the Zanesv lille Courier, intelligence
of most destructive steamboa accident. The partIcu
lars as far as we have them, are given below. The
Belle Zane was, we believe, owned IN GAINESVILLE.
CHARLES Bowen, Esq, whose death is recorded, was
member of the Legislature of Ohio, three years
since, and secured the respect of all, by his inte-
gence and worth The Courier States that letters
have been received at gainesville from the of the
disaster, and that twenty-five reported to be lost.
From the New Orleans Times Dec 25.
LOSS OF THE STEAMER BELLE ZANE
TERRIBLE DrsAsTER.-The Steamer Belle Zane from
GAINESVILLE, and Bound for New Orleans, struck upon
snag the 18th instant twelve miles below White

The Bile lane had on board over ninety human
beings, including passengers and crew. The former

when the boat struck they were not ouly awakened
from sleep, but found the steamer sinking so rapidly
that they had scarcely time To rush. undressed upon
deck, few protected by blankets seized from the
beds
To add to the horror of the scene. the cabin separa

beings in watery grave, leaving them exposed
upon floating wreck, to almost perish with cold.
Those persons who were so fortunate as TO remain up-
the floating cabin were saved The names OF those
who were lost have not been obtained, further than
those of Mr.. Bowen, wife and child of GAINESVILLE.

The steamer Diamond picked up at two points on
the Arkansas slde sixteen of the sufferers and car
red them to Napoleon. where the remainder of those
who had escaped had already assembled. The pas
sengers from the best information they give rep
resent the loss of life to be forty persons.
Among the passengers their were five ladies'. four
of whom saved. The United States mail from
Louisville Memphis, and the way mail from the Ohio
river, were lost. Also, the cargo

GIVE publish to day, by the particular solicta-
ton OF the writer, communication from one of the
oldest democrats in the State relative the conduct
IN certain particulars Of of the editors of the State
Sentinel The editor in question considers that he is
entitled to special praise, for his course on the oc-
casion alluded to. He but did his duty, and would
have done wrong if he had done otherwise than he
did,
In order that the reader may understand correctly
that part of the article which aludes to the appoint
ment of Central Committee by the State Conven-
ton just held, it may be proper to state that after
resolution for said committee was passed. a list of
proposed members read which had been prepared
by Mr. Morrison and his friends. This list was not
adopted, the Convention preferring to make It's own
selections. J. p Chapman, among others was NOM
mated, and approved Of A. F. Morrison was also
nominated. aud rejected by the Convention by a
large majority Morrison of course instead of walk
ing out of the convention, and bidding it good even
ing, as we should have done under similar circum-
stances, began TO make a FUSS claiming as rood q
right to be put on the committee as Mr. Chapman had
To put a stop to all difficulty Mr. c. positively de-
cllned serving on the committee and after some de-
bate excused By the particular request of Nor
risons friends the vote rejecting him then recon-
sidered, with the previous understanding that his nom-
nation should be withdrawn
Mr.. Morrison crowded himself into that Conven-
ton, (according to his usual cusom) against the
well known wishes of the Democratic party in this
county. BY some sort Of hocus-pocus, he procured
the opportunity to write portion of the Address
This was contrlved for the purpose of making it ap-
pear that he still had the confidence Of his party
But when the question his merits was directly sub
mtted TO the Convention, the result was as we have
stated: he uas roted out
Mr.. Morrison, by the way, has had some severe
things say about the Bloomington resolution against
him. We think our friends there safely fall back
upon this action of the State Convention for ustf
cation.

o. The State Conventions of the two great parties
have both been held, and candidates for the two Prin-
cipal Executive offices have been nominated III we
may anticipate the end by the beginning, we may be
sure of an easy victory The Democratic Convention
was one of the most enthusiastic,-the Wing Con-
vention one of the most depressed, that 1t has ever
been our good fortune to behold. Whitcomb was
nominated for reelection by reclamation, without a
single dissenting voice the wings, full of doubts
and fears finally agreed upon Mr. Marshall, because
such men as O. H. Smith and Ex-Governor Bigger
would not subject themselves to the odum which the
certain defeat of the Wing party would have inflicted
upon them. For it is a custom with the Wing party
always attribute their to the unpopularity
or unftness Of their candidates. We well recollect
the sneering which the Journal gave these leaders
of lis party for their reusa-imputing it 10 selfish
ness and cowardice; but we think they only gave
evidence of superior wisdom in thus refusing to be
sacrificed.
The coming contest, we think, will be a cool one
The people will calmly investigate the of Gov
Whitcomb's administration, and decide accordingly
1t is in view of this investigation and decision that
we make the positive prediction of success to our
party in August. We know that Gov. Whitcomb
has administered our affairs as prudently, honestly
and successfully as perhaps any other in the
country could have DONE In the face of the great
est obstacles, he has done much good and so far
we have knowledge, no harm. This is saying great
deal, if the weight which intend them imply
be given to words. The people never did desert
faithful servant, and will not now.
PARIS c. DUNNING Of Monroe county, who was
nominated as the Democratic candidate for 1t Co.
vernon, is gentleman of much talent and energy of
character He did good service Polk eector
during the last He is far the superior of
Mr.. Orth. the young gentleman nominated by the
Wings for the same Office. Mr.. Dunning will make
himself known to the people before the August cleo
ton.
