Awful steamboat Accident.

Burning and Explosion Of The Steamer Clarks
riHe--Tho steamer Clarksville on her way &c
Nashville took fire about dark on Saturday
evening last, just below Napoleon, Ark and
as wrapped IN flames almost instantly. The
fire caught to the deck and state rooms ovei
the boilers, and had burst into uncontrolla lie
violence before it was discovered. The boat
as headed TO the shore the fire was dlscov'
cred, which she reached; but she rcbounded,
and her tiller ropes and cables soon being con-
sumed, she could not be managed or secured,
and driited again into the stream. a II now
attempted to save themselves BY leaping over
board with whatever could be seized to buoy
them in the water; and most OF those who
" ere saved, we learn, owe their safety to the
life prcservcr chairs with which the boat was
furnished.
1t appears that among the freight there was
a quantity of gun powder; and after the boat
had been partly consumed this was reached by
the flames, and II terrific explosion sent the
wreck and all on board in one common des-
truction in an instant.
There was quite number Of passengers on
board, both in the cabin and on deck. None
OF the cabin passengers, we understand, were
lost, though several were severely injured. OF
the deck passengers, however, there were 23
or "a either consumed by the flames or drown
ed in attempting to escape. OF these there
were 3 whIte women and one child
The lady of Governor Poindexter, who was
on board was taken from the water liieiess, out
was afterwards restored.
Col. A. Russell, Of this county, and his
family who had taken passage for Nashville,
we are happy to state all escaped, though he
lost six negroes from the deck.
Capt. Holmes, we regret to say, lost his lite
by his chivalrc devotion to his duties and to
humanity He'had succeeded in swimming
ashore with his wife and child, whom he lett
safe, and insisted on returning to rescue others.
He did SO, only to get on board Just before

WASHINGTON, May 10th, i848
1t has been stated that the New York dele
gates to the Wing Convention, have been in
structed to support Mr.. Clay as their first
choice. That Is true, but there is no meaning
in it, except to say, that Mr.. Clay would be
acceptable, il he could be got. But the New
York deles- sion as am well assured, will not
support Mr.. Clay. They would take General
Scott, who was the choice Of the New YORK
delegation in 1870, but for some recent events.
would not undertake to say that General
Scott has now any chance for obtaining the
zesloos support Of the Wings Of that State.
General Taylo will probably be The choice OF
that delees,.on, and il so, he will be nomina-
ted.
Several very prominent and Influential
Wings from New York, now here, say that
Mr.. Clay cannot obtain the vote Of that State,
sndcr any circumstances, and that his nomi-
nation will alone secure the vote Of that State
for the democratic candidate. The only saie'y
Of the Wing party is to take up General
Taylor.

1000 scythemen appeared, who renewed the
attack, in which 1903 Of them were killed, and
the Count being reinforced by a company Of

succeeded in taking possession Of the town.
The Prussisn troops had only one man killed

The Charleston Mercury is out with knives
and pistols upon Mr.. COMMANDER, who re-
Gently at the Baltimore convention, claimed
the right to cast the nine votes for South Caro-
lima, and probably has done So The Mercury
denounces 4-S4sstbe coolest piece OF impu-
dence it had seen since $780," and says Mr.. G,
was nominated by meeting Of or 10 per-
SONS. not one of whom, in looking over the
li.t, had it ever heard Of before, except the
chairman of the meeting, a Mr. Mckay, and
it only knows him by having seen his name to
the notes Of the bank of Georgetown, of which
institution he isPresident ..s....
The Mercury thus concludes its article:
But really we have laughed heartily over
this humbugging. What u commentary on
such conventions! To the people of South
Carolina, if they needed it before, there will
not again be need ofponting outthe hollowness
and treachery to which they are liable in as

foisted in upon them by some ten men OF
Gcoreeto~ n. the Eaetal Union of Georgia,
and the Baltimore Convention! The Baltimore
Convention of 1910 enriched the language
by one new word, so expressive that it has
never been lost; but Ruckerism can no lon
ger hold undlsputed sway as the only one, ex-
pressve enough in itself of that low fraud and
petty trickery by which INSCRIPTIONS men,
without merit or authority, steal the rights
and betray the honor of their country
Alas, that South Carolina has furnished a par
allel!
