We learn, from several quarters, thai The dis.
cus,ion in Powhalan some days since, between
Robert G. Scout and Councillor Daniel, afforded
the Democrats much satisfaction, however m
pleasant i, might have been 10 The Wings. With.
out intending to tSparage the po'tieai usefulness
OF Councillor Daniel or his talents as speaker
we can have very little room 70. doubts as 10 the

However pretty The Councillor may be in the
Club House, in The display of wit and The nara
ton OF anecdotes, We entertain doubts abou, his
ability 10 grapple with Mr.. SOFT before The peo-
pie. We may well suppose that our own opin-
ions were those OF The Wings as 10 the disposition
that was made OF the worthy Councillor, when il
is known thar The venerable Witche." was
brought in at the eleventh hour 10 aid in the dis.
cussion. This putting OF Two upon one was as
unfair as il was unkind 10 MIR. Daniel.
IT. however, The Wings united with the Demo-
Gratis in the opinion as 10 Mr.. Daniels demolition,
they were not 50 very culpable in bringing Mr.
Wcher in 10 the rescue. Such a stale OF things
we believe, never would have impaired The repu.
,alion OF The Wings of Powha,an for polireness
and love OF fair play. We fear ha, in future con-
hicls the worthy Councillor may mol be lucky
enough 10 have the "renuabk Wther" al his

TIME past summer Qs4n has been a veryremarka
4 bic one. Frequent and heavy rain, followed by
intense and long continued heat, had the ERECT, II the

MARX THEM.-The State Journal calls upon
the people of this State to mark well the con-
duct of our representatives. in Congress, on the
great questions involving our interests. The
Journal says:
Out of the entire representation in Congress
from this State, there was but one who bowed
submissively to the dictation of President
Polk, in his veto message, by throwing hisvote
against Mr.. Wentworth resolution. affirming
the power in the general government to soon
struct such harbors and improve such rivers as
are necessary and proper for the protection of
our navy and commerce. and that man Uas
John L. Robinson of the Ru8hUilc District
We say mark the t~Taitorto the interests of In
diana and the Great West. Let it be fixed up
on his forehead that he may be known of all
men for his trucking subserviency to the man
dates Of a reckless Executive.
And next to him, mark those who inglorious-
ly fled from their posts. when the issue came
between theirduty to the interests of their con-
s~tituents, and their political fealty to him who
openly tramples these interests under his feet
to further the Mexican war and the Interior
plans of the slave power, and these men are w.
w. Wick, Charles Cathcart, and John Petit.
And now mark those who stood up like men
yes, like freemen-between over-grown ar
bitrary power and the clear, unquestionable
rights of the West-and with pleasure we re-
cord their names as follows: DUNN, EMBREE,
HENLEY, RocKHILL, and HoMPsoN.
Had Caleb B.. Smith been in Washington,
there would have been another name to record
among those last mentioned-but he was In
New York at the time the vote was taken, and
consequently could not participate in the pro-
ceedings.

THE ILL-FATED A. n. JOHNSON.


One H6VDRED LIVES LosT.-We understood
on yesterday that several dead bodies had been
recovered from the wreck, but did not learn
whether they were recognized or not.
We are constrained to believe from addi.
tional facts that have reached us that the mum
Der of the lost by the explosion is greater than
has generally been estimated. An intelligent
gentleman gave it as his opinion, in converse
ton with us en- yesterday, that there were lot
passengers in the cabin. and so on deck, be-
sides the officers and crew of the boat. A num-
Der of the passengers who have saved concur
red with him in this estimate. The list of the
officers and crew-34i in number-we copied
from the books of the boat, and were assured
by one of the officers that our list was strictly
correct.
If, then, the estimate of the passengers be
correct, one hundred and fourteen souls were
hurled unwarned into eternity by this heart
rending calamity? What an awful response
bility rests somewhere for this wholesale
slaughter of human beings!
Two others of the unfortunate sufferers have
died, since or last issue-Mr. A. Richardson
of Wheeling, and MIR. Robert MCGOWAN, o.
GAINESVILLE. Every attention was paid them
by the Sons of Temperance; of which Ordel
they were members, and by the citizens gener
ally. MIR. Richardson's body was properly
prepared for keeping until it could reach hi:
afflicted family. Mr.. MCGOWAN was inferred
Yesterday evening with the honor of the Sons
of Temperance.
Fragments of several human bodies were
sound some distance from the boat, in a corn
nd. Hardly any other circumstance could
Mfnish so keen an idea of this scene of horror
and distress.

RUMoRED RECALL OF GEN. Scorr.-The Lou
isville Journal of Tuesday says: 1t will be seer
from our telegraph despatch that there was a
report at Washington city on Saturday of the
recall of Gen. Scott from Mexico. The arrest,
by his order, of Gen. Pillow, the pet and min.
ion of Polk, renders the report not very i'm
probable. The Administration endeavored
last winter, to repay Gen. Taylor for ali bis
victories with censure and disgrace, and no one
will be surprised to find it attempting to re-
ward Gen. Scott after the same fashion.
