DISASTER.

THE STEAMER Tom METcALFE SUNK
FoUR PASSENGERS n ONE DECK HAND
DRowNDD.
BY a gentleman who arrived in the CT
ty last night about 8 o'clock, on the stea-
mer Medium, we were informed that the
Tom Metcalfe, bound for the Wabash,
which left our landing about 9 O'Clock on
Monday night last, with a heavy load of
freight and thirteen passengers, of which
our informant was one, about 2 O'Clock
Tuesday morning, when near Aurora,
struck the bank, and Immediately COM
menced settling when four passengers and
one deck hand were drowned.
Both wheel houses almost instantly
parted from the hall, and the cabin at the
same time floated off, which our inform
ant thinks probably saved the remaining
passengers from a watery grave, as only
a few minutes after, the hull turned COM
pletely bottom up. Lines being made
fast 10 the cabin, it was hauled in TO
shore, sufficiently near TO enable the pas
sengers who were on it to escape. The
night was represented as being excessive
ly cold and the suffering as intense, most
of the passengers being more or less
drenched by water before reaching the
shore. The wreck Of the Metcalfe is
considered as one of the most complete
and disastrous from so trivial a cause, and
in the same length of time on record
The boat had So 1000 or $4,000 insured
on her, but whether there was any on the
cargo, amounting TO about 10000, our in
formant did o know. The names of
the persons drowned, had not been ascer-
tanned when he left.-Cin. Com.

That Senator Calhoun avowed the Oh
iect Of annexation 10 be The ~PrRpzrCrTy

That the same Senator Calhoun has a.
so expressed the opinion that the war
was entirely unnecessary, aud provoked
by the Presidents secret order for The ad-
vance Of our army to the Rio Grande,-.
a measure which he must have known
would lead to hostilihes.
Therefore, bv the admissions of the
various parties TO the act Of annexation.
it appears that the ORIGINAL cause OF the
war, was a plot for the extension and
permanent establishment of human s,a-

the single, responsible act Of James X.

In prospecting for rock leads the mi
ner, having struck the float near q r%avine,
will follow it up the rise of the ridge I'M
ill he sinks a shaft with seams in the rock
and should these seams be narrow, yet
contain good looking east and west float
mineral, he will doubtless blast the shaft
down until he either strikes living water,
or runs short of money.
I mentioned before that the mineral
laid in sand and ochre in caves, but in
tight openings either IN rock or clay. 1t
frequently lays in other kinds of earth,
and when it is found in the water, it lays
in quick sand, joint clay and amongst
tumbling rock.
The rock Immediately over the OPEN
ing in rock diggings is called the cap rock
and varies in thickness being from 2 TO s
feet or even more; this rock is common
" the hardest, and when the few last
blasts are being put in, the sound from
the hammer used to drill with makes a
hollow echoing noise which animales the
hardy miner with hopes that he is about
to enter the top Of the opening. Finally
he strikes through, clears away the rub
bish of the last blast, sends it out Of the
shaft, and sinks still deeper through clay
and tumbling rock with an occasional
piece of mineral. till finally he strikes his
pick against a piece Of blue ore that
weighs perhaps hundreds, nay even thou
sands, then all hands shout SO Lead ga
Lead" Rock Leads are generally the
surest to make pay, and the mineral is of
better quality. There is often found
among and even sticking to mineral other
bodies of little or no value, namely, dry
bone, black jack, tiff rust, flint rock, DC.
There are other matters | would be glad
to write to you about relative to mining,
but | must defer it for the present.

1t appears that several enterprising
Engllshmen have fitted out at London
three vessels, well armed and manned,
under Mexican letters Of marque, with
clearances for Manila. Their day of
sailing from the mouth Of the Thames,
was the 10Th Of January. They bear
Spanish names, and are commanded by
English Captains, to wit: Moody. Smith,
and Lash. Our government will take
proper and active measures, we hope, to
arrest the career of these pirates, and if
they are caught, hang them at once
The letter of the Secretary Of State, pub
llshed last summer, gives assurance that
this is the remedy which will be applied
to these ''bold buccaneers"

THE TEA AND COFFEE TAX
AGAIN DEFEATED

By the Congressional proceedings Of
Saturday, it will be seen the proposition
to lay a tax Of TEA and COFFEE wos a.
gain defeated in the Honse. This is
right. If more revenue is required to car
ry on the operations of the Government,
let them restore the TARIFF of 1912
That's the measure that viii bring the
country back to prosperity, and %relpIenish
the Treasury, without taxing the poor
mans ted and coffee
The Tariff of 1912 must and will be
restored In the end; and the Locofocos
had better make a virtue Of necessity, now
while they may, and repeal their BRITISH
TARIFF at once. But they will not do it.
They would rather see the country suf-
fer, and struggle on under the evils and
embarrassments 10 which it subjects the
Government, than acknowledge their err
ror in passing il, and admit the wisdom
of Wing policy by restoring the bill Of
AZ. This work will be left for The VINES
to do; and the day is not far distant when
1t will be in their power to accomplish it.
The people are looking to it anxiously,
but they want on TEA and COFFEE.

agreement to the Senate's amendment to
the Military Academy Appropriation Bill.
On motion of Mr.. MCKAY, the Reve-
nue. Bill was then taken in Committee OF
the Whole, 96 to 81, Mr.. Ficklin, of IL
linois, in the Chair. A warm debate en-
sued, in which Messrs. Cooke, Cobb,
Hopkins, Root, Henley, Bowlin, Ewing,
of Pennsylvania, and others, on a motion
by MIR. Cooke, TO amend by striking out
the first section, and insert a provision re-
ducing the compensation of all civil OIL
GERS where salaries exceed $1,000, and

five per cent, including members OF Con-
gress.
Mr.. HOPKINS was in favor OF the re-
duction. and should vote for the duty on
tea and coffee.
Nj. ROOT was also in favor of the a
mendment.
Mr.. HENLEY was in favor of redu-
cling The compensation of all, from the
highest officer down TO the pages who
carried their newspapers.
Mr.. BOWLIN SAID the proposed tax
OH tea and coffee should receive no res
ponse from that House, for it was against
the sentiment of the people. As it re-
garded the Graduation BIll-whether 1t
passed or not, the star of the empire
would be west, and would not be restrain
ed.
An amendment was adopted for the first
section of the bill, fixing the 10th March,
lS47, as the time for the act to go into
operation.
A number of other amendments were
proposed and rejected. when a motion
was made to strike out all after the words
10th March, 1S47, in the first section to
the word levied in the line in the second
section, being the proposed tax of twenty
per cent. on tea and coffee; which motion
prevailed, 90 to 90.
After striking out the tax Upon tea and
coffee from the first section of the Reeve
nue. Bill, numerous other amendments
were offered, and nearly all rejected.
Mr.. HAMLIN then proposed a sub
stitute, being the bill as reported. with adj
ditiohs TO the sections relating TO the man.
nfactures Of silk and of which silk is a
component part, TO manufactures of linen,
of fax and of which fax is a component

which the additional ten per cent. ad
valorem should also be levied, and with
the section relating to the graduation Of
the prices of public lands so amended as
to con6ne the benefits to actual settlers.
On motion, the graduation section was
stricken out.
On motion Of Mr.. WENTWORTH,
the tax on tea and coffee was also reject
ed by a vote of 81 TO SO.
The substitute was then agreed to
