gives the following important particulars:
This morning Mr.. Buchanan was closeIed
with the President for more than five minutes
1t IS certain that matters of the greatest character
were under consideration, for Mr.. B. was heard
distinctly to sneeze three times in succession, and

Polk took n pinch and a half Of snuff The
greatest CONSERVATION prevailed n, tho White
House, aud the black cook rolled up the whites
Of his eyes in such manner that the old Dutch
clock went into fits, and struck an hour before
the time. The Secretary Of War was seen by
credible witnesses, to 60 into a store and buy a
box Of percussion caps. These and other symp-

man Of ,he Judiciary Committee. by tho way
there is no, member Of the U. $. Senate who Is
more industrious, more devoted to the public in.

Arkansas. The press is too apt to bes'ow III
pruises exclusively on the speech makers, while

and heat of official labor. Gen. Ashley. though
an agreeable speaker and good debaier, since
he has held seat in the Senate, has been more
disposed 10 work than 10 talk, and hence people
at distance have heard less Of him than OF some
others who are by no means his sureriors, either
in talents, political influence, or real usefulness

Congress assisted more in rolling on the Texas

Heart.rending Acciden.-A most Iamentu5le
accident occurred on our levee last evening, by
which little girl, some eight or nine years of
age, lost her life. She was the daughter Of DR..
Gum, Of Louisville, KY, who, with his wife,
was Just leaving the steamboat Ben Franklin No.
7, about starting for the Ohio river. The little
girl. who was ahead Of her parents, was crushed
to the earth by hogshead Of sugar which dray.
man had just rolled from bis dray in great haste.
She was deprived of all consciousness at once,
although the breath Of life fingered in her mu.
tilated form for hours.
The case is one Of the most heart. rendlna we
bnve ever been called upon 10 record. The body
Of the little girl wns at once taken on board the
boat. but how can we describe the anguish Of the
mother, who then first knew how deep. how ab
sorbng, was her devotion to hor chiidl For hearts
90 wounded no balm can DO offered. The young
victim was oil play yfulness aud vivaci,y tho mo-
ment before the acciden,-in tho mex, moment,
il required u mothers love to recognize her, and
long after the breath had left the body of the
hapless child the wallings Of that mother were
heard crying over one that was not. An elder
sister was present, too-,he wife Of the cIerk of
the boat-and she wns stricken by the cruel ca.
Iamty with an intensity Of grief that for a while
beieft her Of reason. The little girl had been
singing and playing upon piano in the cabin
for she was rare musician for child of her ago
--and had just parted from one who felt for her
an affection no one but a sister knows. She had
parted from her while her guiless prallle and
innocent mirth we're yet fresh-her gay carols
were still! ringing in that sisters ears but second
elapsed and she was carried back, 10 I'll the
hearts Of those she had SO recently gaddened with
mourning. Time may in measure heal the
wounds Of those who have been thus sorey bruised
but to offer present consolation would be Of no
effect.
We are told that this occurred from haste and
gross carelessness on the part of the dra ayman,
he having been warned that hs was endanperipe
the lives Of the very persons leaving the boat at
the time. We rust that he may be arrested an d
the affair investigated to the bottom. Numerous
accidents are daily occurring from furious driving
and an example should at once be made that thew
may Put a stop TO it.--Pic.

The following challenge having appeared in
your paper, deem it my duty to say a word in
reply.
CHALLENGE.
Much has been said lately about the steamers Oregon
and Atlantic The friends Of the Atlantic have claimed
that she was faster than the Oregon and that they
be taken before the ink dry For the purpose of
testing their statements and their confidence in the speed
the Atlantic, to run from New York the lgh. boat at
Straord for five thousand dollars any day this
sited II this offer should be accepted will then show
the public that have kept my promise to allow
the Oregon to her regular trips to Sonngton.
Sep l,ls4o Gso. LAW ~ U sion Pace.
am much surprised at such a challenge from
the hands of Mr. Law, the reputed owner of the
Oregon. This question, supposed, was at rest,
as a sufficient trial of speed was made to satisfy
the whole community that the Atlantic was the
faster boat byineary one mile per hour. l suppo-
sed that it was question decided so conclusvely
as to leave no roomIlor doabf, and have since con-
tinued TO give the travelling community every
surance that should race more while in my
regular course OF business, and have the vanity
to suppose that credit is given to my word when l
pass it. But if MIR. Law is DESTROYS of having one
further trial of speed, will endeavor to accommo-
date him. | cannot take my boat from the line she
now fills as long the business season lasts and
to run races to endanger the lives passengers,
Will not consent TO- But, at my request, have
race after December, at which time she will
withdraw from her present line for the winter
Then will run him a race from Throg's Point
around the Light Boat, at New London and
back, on given day, which is straight work both
ways therefore there can no advantage taken by
either party. This race / will run for amuse-
mont or reasonable amount ofmoney merely
make this proposition to crafty his (Mr. Law's)
curiosity, as l am satisfied Of the event. If he
wishes to wager large amount, let him name
it, and have no doubF, that through my friends,

content. Respectfully yours,
