AWFyL ACCIDENT.
TALTSlGaN SUNH-W
H.ARUS OF ONE. HUNDRED y
LIVES TOSTE

The steamer ItdLisman from Pittsburgh,
bound for this city, came in collision with
the Tempest. about 5 o'clock oil the morn
ling of the 10Th, five miles below Cape Cir
ardeau, and in a few seconds sunk to her
hurricane roof. The scene thatfollowed as
described by passengers, was terrible in the
extreme The accident was so unexpect-
ed, and the boat sunk so suddenly, that rot
a moments warning was given for escape.
1t is supposed that nearly all the cabin pas
sengers, with the exception Of two or three
children, were saved; but of the deck pas
|sengers, numbering more than ITO in all,
not more than twenty have been rescued.
The Tempest remained some time render
ing all the assistance in her power, and re-
turned to Cape Girardeau with ali the pas
|sengers that were saved. The exact rum
Der drowned could not be ascertained with
any degree of certainty. A great number
of those saved were clothed only in their
night dresses; everything else being lost
The deck passengers consisted principally
of emigrants from Kentucky and Ohio, and
negroes. The Idkisman was very heavily
freighted.
The Lucy Bertram was but a short dis.
lance behind the Idlisman when the acct
dent occurred, and brought up most of the
passengers from Cape Girardeau.
From what we could learn from passengers,
no blame seems to be attached to the officers of
the Tempest, as her engines had been stopped,
and she was backing water when the Talisman
came up with a full head of steam.
Other particulars we could not learn, as the
Clerk and papers of the Talisman have not yet
arrived,

u The news from Europe received by
the Cambria caused a sudden decline in
the price of Cotton. On the 9TH inst. it
had fallen twO cents per pound; and a still
further decline was expected. The pres
ent crop is said to be much more than an
average one, and this we trust may mea-
surably relieve the country from the con-
sequence of a sudden deciine in prices
Our trade is intimately connected with that
of the South, and q sudden fail in the price
of Cotton is never without its effect upon
the markets of the West.

D~EPoPuLATIoN OF VIRGINrA.-The Park

seventy emigrants, a few days ago, passed
through that town, from the Valley Of Vir-

Slaves, to Missouri, and the remainder to
Iowa. Thus, says the Gazette, is Virgins

CHEAT AND GROW RICH.

fINHlS has been the secret principle Of too many
i Of the wholesale dealers in Teas up to this time,

on the Country Merchant without any fear Of deec-
ton. But new era in the Tea Trade has come and

Reform, on which II has inscribed the simple words:
"PURE TEAS AT HONEST PRICES. %
A complete revolution has heen the conseq uence.

have done.
LIST. We were the first to send them Teas that
used TO be called too good for them before.
I'd. Wehave driven out the market vast amount
Of trash, and introduced better class Of Teas than
has yet been sold. Importers Of Tea often come
10 US to get for their use, nd for their friends
fine qualities they can find nowhere else
Sd. We have reduced prices mote than IS per Ct,
both in Black and Green Teas. The wholesale
grocers say we are running the trade and call us
humbugs. This we have done already, and now
see what we are ready to do
LIST. We will sell Teas by the single chest, hall
chest or IA pound box, at the same prices that
wholesale grocers pay to the importers when they
buy by the hundred packages.
I'd. The wholesale grOcers allow only Is or at
most ID pounds tare to the half chest. This is q

How can we do thisl asks the country merchant
This is our answer. We are content with seven

We deserve the thanks Of the country merchants
for saving them hereafter from being cheated Lei
them come to the Warehouse of the Pekin Tea

prices it is their own fault.
An English importer lately boosted to us that he
could make more money by sending bad Teas to the
New York MARKET than on good Teas. We are
resolved to overthrow this fraud; and now call upon
agents in every town in the United States to come
forward and buy Teas imported by the Pekin Tea
Company, and we pledge ourselves, that if in six
months they do not sell more Tes than the Oldest
and largest dealers in the town. we will give them

cannot be misunderstood. We appeal for testimo.
