BURNING OF THE MAIL BoATs.-The follow
ing facts concerning the burning of the Mail
Boats at Baltimore, mentioned in Postscript
last week, are derived from the Baltimore Sun
of the 18th Instant
"About 8 o'clock, on Tuesday night, an a.
larm of fire was had, which was found to pro-
coed from the burning of the steamer Wolcott,
lying at the lower end of Patterson street.
The Wolcott is almost entirely destroyed. She
is the property of Mr.. Robert Taylor, and had
been laid up for the winter There was no
person on board at the time, nor had there
been any fire. She was insured to the amount
of 81, 900 in the Firemen's Office. How the
| fire originated is a mystery.
'Near the Wocott, the splendid steamer
Jewess, of the Norfolk line, lay, taking in
passengers and baggage, and making prepar-
atoms for her departure to Norfolk. She had
no steam up, and on account of the ice in the
basin, could not be moved from her position.
most destroy ed-the after-part being almost
entirely burnt out Soon after she caught she
was scutted, and sunk gradually until she
came to the bottom. The water, however,
was not very deep at the wharf, and that part
of her upper works which was saved, was
only rescued by the untiring exertions of the
! firemen.
THE Wolcott is almost an entire loss, be-
ing so much burnt as to render her worthless
The Jewess was raised on Wednesday and
taken to the ship yard of Messrs. Flanagan &
Trimble, where she will be taken on the
ways and undergo a thorough repair The
damage to her amounts to some ten or twelve
thousand dollars. on which there was not &
dollar of insurance.

Sufer'ngf
The Wheeling Times publishes The follov-
ing account, received by an extra from III
Gallipolis (Ohio) Journal, of Monday last.
1t becomes our melancholy duty To record !.
scene of the most agonizing nature, and one
the like of which, we pray may never happen
again. II is no less than the total destruction,
with the consequent loss of life, by the burst
ing of her boilers, of the Kanawha packet,
Blue Ridge. Il occurred on Saturday night,
about one o'clock, when about three miles be-
low town. having left our wharf but few
minutes before On her trip to Cincinnati.
She blew up, while under way, with ire
mendous explosion, reducing TO a perfec,
wreck all of the cabin immediately over her
boilers. The hull floated about mile and a
half, and sunk, leaving the cabin .afloat-to
the top of which such of the passengers as
were saved retreated for security. As fast as
possible they were conveyed to the shore in
the yawl; but before they were all relieved from
their perious situation the cabin had floated
some six or eight miles. The passengers were
taken TO the farm houses in the immediate vi
clnlty. where every possible attention was
rendered to the sufferers by the hospitable oc.
cupants.
The suffering of those who escaped was in.
tense. The passengers were scattered for
miles down the river almost literally naked

frozen to them, wandered amid the snow IN.

AS to the number lost We have not been.a.
bic TO arrive at any very just conclu<ion-say
those who know best, not over twenty. We
think, from the best information we can ga
Their, there must have been near seventy per.
sons on board
Few of the passengers saved any thing
having 10 go ashore in their night clothes
There were six ladies on board, all of whom
were saved but two.
There were three horses on board, one o.
which was found on board after the explo-
sion. The other two were missing.
The explosion was undoubtedly caused by
defective boilers, together with an insufficient
cy of water.

RELIEF NorEs.--When the circulating medium
of country becomes deprecated, and confidence
in its value is much impaired as to prevent its
free circulation among the people, tho avenues Of
trade are Immediately obstructcd, and prosperity
is assuredIy sooner or later utterly destroyed
Just SO with the human body when its circulating
medium, the blood is encountered with useless
and corrupt humors, and tie vital energies become
far impaired to lose the power OF driving the
stream of life with freedom to every part of the
system, all tho avenues to health will be speedily
closed, and disease and death will be the certain
result.
AS, in tie first place, the only sure means of
prosperity is to purge the country from the useless
portion of its currency. So in the latter case, the
only sure road to health is 10 cleanse the blood
from all impurity.
rights Indian Vegetable Pills are the best
medicine in the world for restoring the body to
health because they expel all useless and corrupt
humors in an easy and natural manner, and while
they every day give ease and pleasure, disease OF
every name is rapidly driven from the body.
Beware of Counterfeis of all kinds! Some arc
coated with sugar; others are made to resemble
in outward appearance the original medicine
The safest course is, to purchase of the regular
gents only, one or more of whom may be found
in every village and town in the State. Principal
