MONDAY MORNING, JUNE 5.

CTThe steamer GAINESVILLE was burned
the foot of Ozark island, on the evening of th'
9Th ult. Capt. Holmes and about thirty pas
sengers and the crew were lost. The cabir
passengers were all saved.
We subjourn an account from the Memphi:
Eagle of last Tuesday:
Our city-was fall yesterday ofrumors ofthc desiruc
ton OF the favorite and beautiful Memphis and New
Orleans packet, GAINESVILLE and the loss of life and
property accompanying 1t.
The fire by which this noble boat was destroyed
was first discovered about mile below Ozark Island
No. IS, 5 or G miles below Napoleon, at hall past
FIVE, Saturday evening. The pilot remained at his
post till she ran round the Island and headed It, In
very few minutes after the discovery OF the lre, the
boat struck the ground when sny OF the passengers
might have gotten the forecaste, and thence reach
ed the Island AS soon as she struck, the flames
hitherto driven back by the current OF air. burst hro
ND into the cabin. All the passengers who had gone
forward to the forecastle saved by stepping on
shore those who had remained in the aft cabin fear
ing an explosion, compelled TO jump overheard
at the stern, which lay out the current. All the
cabin passengers far could be ascertaned, were
$1,000
and an infant child were lost. Capt. Holmes and one
white deck hand, Charles Quinn, were lost.
Fourteen colored persons were lost. among whom
was Sam, servant of Gov. Poindexter.
One of the boilers burst soon after she struck; and
subsequently,, three kegs of powder in the hold
Neither of these accidents caused any ascertanable
injury.
Gov. Poindexter and lady were both injured; the
L.
and Mrs Lotion of this place were slightly injured
Most Of the passengers lost their baggage. None
of the officers or crew. except the mate and barber
saved their baggage
Mr. Vaught LIST clerk, escaped without hat, coat
or baggage, but saved the money and papers of tiC
boat.
OF the manner in which Captain Holmes met his
death there is no minute evidence. Mr.. Whitman
informs US that after he (Mr. W. had assisted Mrs
Holmes and her neice, who escaped in their night
clothes, in the forecaStc, he saw Capt Holmes 60
back to the ludies' cabin. He learns that Capt. II
there proceeded to compel the ladies, who alone
manned 10 take chairs with life preservers attached
and leap into the water, which they were reluctant
TODD. Having succeeded in this sensible and hu-
name attempt. he proceeded to throw baggage from
the burning boat When last seen he was in the act
of leaping, apparently weak and strangled by the
smoke from the upper guard. He failed to clear the
lower gnard, struck it, and volume of smoke closed
over the gallant and true-hearted officer. He no
longer numbered with the living and persisted in the
stern and courageous discharge Of high sense OF
duty.
The accident was beyond the prevention of man.
The fire originated Immediately above the boilers.
