STEAM8OAT ELECTROMAGNETIC steHtEl-
boat Meiora "n her passage from New
Orleans to Red River, passed this town on
Thursday evening last, some time before
shutdown. About eight o'clock she came
down again in tow of the steamer Natchez.
From some Of the passengers oftho Match
cz, we learnt that when about twenty
miles above this town95the boilers of the
Medo.a burt with Ban awful explo in
tearing the cabin fron5pne end to the other;
that the losg' O huma0Stiic had not been as
crrtaineI, but was supposed to be great.
Iheadead bodies of some Of the victims
were on board, and the groans of the suf.
@rers were sickeningo in the extreme, at
the time the boat stopped ut our landing.
We understand the .aEedora was racing
with the Hendricks Hudson. We charitably
hope the account is Incorrect, otherwise no
punishment can be too severe for the rcck-
less sacrifice Of Thurman lie.

OF TIE WIND.

49,
The wind sweeps forth in playful glee,
From sporting out on the sunny sea,
1t seeks the land, and seeks the flowers,
Ii left so bright in summer hours.
Its tone is changed, with mournful sounds,
1t leaves behind the blue deep's bounds,
And flies DER earth, but sings no more,
The gladstone songs it sung before.
Oh tell to me, thou murmuring windl
Tell! wherefore thou hast left behind,
The joy 50 light, that tnari'd thy trace,
Ere thou did'st seek the bluesea's face.
sThere came a voice, low, sad, and deep,
Like Ocean's plant, ere it sinks to sleep,
Mothought the sprite stood near my side,
When ~mournfulIy it thus replied.
With song of JOY, and wings of light,
Through wood and bow'r / swept in flight,
/ paused to kiss the violet blue,
TO quatf a draught of pearly dew,
When sought afar the leafy bow'r,.
Where sung the BIZ d Of mir j pow'r,
A while heard bis lofty lay,
Then bore it on my wings away.
Onward | rush'd SO swift and free,
Until I reached the dark blue sea,
And then a wand'rer far and wide,
| danced upon its rolling tide.
wished to leave the hoaying main,
And seek the birds and flowers again,
l came-but ~leafless branches wave,
Above the violeta lowly grave
EnYain | listen for that song,
Its echoes now, are hush'da and gone,
With flltering voice, and eyes all dim,

The wind swept by-lnethought | heard,
A mournlul dirge, as the branches stoop,d
A dirge that told the year had sped,
A hymn that mourn'd its giories dead.

claims the konor Of its Introduction. They
were tie first TO raise the Banner Of reform,
ON which il has inscribed the simple words
.'PURE TEAS AT HONEST PRICES.n
The complete revolution has been the con-
sequence. Let the customers of Tea every
where look at what we have done,
i LIST. We were the first 10 send them Teas
I that used 10 be called too good for them before.
I %. We have driven out Of the market a
vast amount of trash, and introduced better
class of Teas than has yet ever been Sold
4 importers Of Tea often come TO Us TO get for
/ their own use. and for their friends. fine quail
lities they can find no where else.
! Sd. We have reduced prices more than IS
per cent. both in black and green Teas
Wholesale grocers say we are running the
trade and call us humbues. This we have
done already, and no: see what we are ready
TO do.
lsi We. viii sell Teas by single chest,
half chest, or Ia ID. box, at the same prices
that the wholesale grocers pay TO the imports
when they buy by the hundred packages.
I'd. The wholesale grocers allow only Is
or at most Ia lbs. tare TO the half chest. This
is cheat. Wewill allow, IN most instances,
$ or 10 lbs. tare on the same.
Sd. We hereby undertake to sell every kind
Of Tea from six TO twelve cents per pound
cheaper than the wholesale groeers do.
How can we do this, ask the country mer-
chantsl
This is our answer. We are content with
seven per cent profit instead Of IS or so per
cent as a wholesale grocer.
We deserve the thanks of the Country mer-
chants for saving them hereafter from being
cheated. Let them come to the Warehouse
Of the PEkfN TEA COMPANY and COM
pare samples OF Tea they get elsewhere and
tthey buy bad Teas then, at high prices, ii 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 eve
ry town in the u States TO come forward and
buy the Teas imported by the PEKIN TEA
COMPANY and we pledge ourselves: that
in six months if they do not sell more Tea
than the Oldest aud largest dealers in the Town,
we will give them our tea without any charge.
This is plain English and cannot be misunder-
stood. We appeal for testimony TO the inn
mense success Of our Agents in any part of
the L. States.
o. Agents WANTED in every town in the
United States for the sale of these Teas, by
which they can make money, and confer
benefit upon the public by Supplying the pure
