On Friday morning, about five O'Clock,
the steamer Tempest on her way down
to Memphis, came in collision with the
steamer Talisman. bound from Pittsburgh
to this port, and sunk the latter TO the
hurricane deck. The accident occurred
about five miles below Cape Girardeaut
and the loss of life was most deplorable-
al the lowest estimate one hundred and
thirty persons persisted; and of these but
five were cabin passengers.
A large number OF the lost passengers
were farmers and their families, emigrat.
ing to the Upper Mississippi country; and
out of between one hundred and seventy
or eighty of these, who were passengers
on deck. but twenty-five could be found
after the accident. Nineteen horses were
lost, elonging to the passengers. Seven
negroes. belonging to an emigrant we're
among the drowned. ..5,',-s9s.,.,2
Five young couple were drowned in
the cabin, who bad been married but q
few days previous at Cincinnati. Two
children were also drowned in the cabin.
The boat sunk so rapidly that the passen.
gers we're driven to the hurricane deck in
their night clothes. A passenger stated
to US Mat Immediately upon being awoke
with thu conclusion, he attempted to draw
on his boots, and before he could do so
the water was up 10 his middle in the
cabin. The Inflated TalismaD, heavily
freighted, was borne under in almost .
moments time. A young lady passenger
was hurried so suddenly from her state.
room by the water, that she was forced to
leave her reticule, containing $500 in
gold, beneath her pillow. All are more
or less losers. pecunisrily; but the whole
sum is feather, in comparison to the
deplorable loss oflife. 8
LATER.-By the arrival Of the Genesec,
on Saturday, we are put in possession Of
the gratifying fac, that the loss of life from
the above disaster has been greatly exag.
gerated. No cabin passengers were lost,
and but from twenty five to thirty Of those

self
OF Albert Gallatin it cannot be said, as is said
OF Henry Clay,-tlat he aspires to the Presiden-
cy, or desires office, and therefore we hope that
they of our adversares, who distrust Mr.. Clay,
from presumed ambition imputed 10 him, will
give heed to Mr.. Galatin, who not only sane
lions all the formers views, but goes much fur
Their. Indeed, all the eminent men of the coun.
try, especially those whose lives have become
history, concur-Mr. Gallatin, Mr.. Webster, Mr..
Clay, and we have every reason to believe, even
Mr.. Calhoun. The personal ambition of the day
diverts many men from their country, but they
whose fame is established, and who wish to be-
queath 10 posterty good name, and to have the
honor of a wise foresight, agree in the main up
