PARTICULARS OF THE EXPLOSION OF
THE STEAMER VIRGINIA.
STEUBENvILLE, March 3lst IS


MeSSrS. May and MeanS-Dear Sirs:
In compliance with your request, furnish
} ou with as correct a statement of facts as /
could collect, relating to the explosion of the
Virginia" at Rush Run.
We landed here per "CIipper No. g" a. o.
clock Some of our wounded citizens had pas.
sed US in the Mount Vernon. We met our
friends Drs. Wheeler and Woods Of WellsJurg
and several medical gentleman from the neigh
boring towns, all busily engaged in performing
acts Of humanity aud kindcess.--Dr. Wheeler
had just ampulated the thigh Of Ousterhouse,
and DR.. Woods had been engaged in sundry 9th.
ers, dressing and setting. What n horrible pic
turel In one of the back rooms lay two men,
Spencer and Leper, badly scalded and wounded
and either had a leg broken. Spencer died in
two hours after our arrival. He was an Odd
Fellow, and belonged, he told me, to a Lodge
in Connecticut. He had S93 about him.
In the stable lay the mangled body of very
large man, named VIM. Rowe, who was cut to
pieces. His son lay US stairs wounded in the
head and badly scalded. In the same room lay
a man named Cummins, with compound Grac.
ture Of the right leg. Ousterhouse appeared
dying. All piteousIy moaning and in shocking
distress. As every body knew everything, bu
nothing connected, we repaired TO the boat reg
ster which was saved, 10 accurately ascertain
the number Of persons OH board at the time o
the accident, but found the register imperfect, a
the only names registered were the following;
4 d. Hugent, unhurt.
W. Rowe Sen'r., killed, badly mutilated.
Wells and Keliger, missing,
J. R. Sturgeon, from St. Carsyic, died sool
after the explosion.

Things in Canada, Annexation, &c.

The Canadian journals ure busy discussing
the question brought up by the agitation now CO.
ing on on their side of the line. The Toronto
Examiner, at the close of long article on an.
ncxalion, says:
"The public mnd as excited by this question
appears 10 be in that state Of indeCiSon when
very slight circumstance turns the scale and de.
cides the most momentous questions. Many,
looking at our position, geographical and polti-
cal, assure themselves that destiny has in fact
rendered inevitable consumnalion which the
speeches of orators, the arguments Of writers,
or even the volition of the public mind cannot
prevent or long delay. For our part, we pre-.
tend not the gift of prophecy, and can only a.
wait the (ulhlment of our political destiny, with
out dogmalically predicting to what good it will
lead" ..
With regard to annexation, the Colonist of
the 9th inst, makes the following announce.
ment:
"Now, as the North American Colonies are
at present situated, they are on the eve of ma.
king now commercial connections, which must
necessarily be followed by new political connec.
lions also.
We have no longer, it may be said,
any interests in continuing connection, which,
in time of peace offers no perceptiblc advan-
age, and in event Of war would expose US cru
ely 10 the beIigerent operations Of our neigh
bors. Circumstances now betoken
that il will not be long before commercial pref
erence on the one hand, and colonial and impe-
rial differences on the other, will carry into eff.
feet what has been so solemnly predicted.
We shall have no cause TO regret that
change, whenever it shall take piece, be it soon
er or later"
In the speech made by ]. G. Vansttart, Esq.
at public dinner given him in Hamilton, we
find The following sentence, as reported by the
Hamilton Gazette:
"Peiiious should at once be sent, not only to
the Governor General, but to our most gracious
Queen, against The Representation bill. which
would give US into the hands Of the French
when there would be nothing left US but to con-
quer the French race again, or TO seek more
friendly government"
The Montreal correspondent Of the Toronto
| Patriot says: .....--.
The only son dn' of the day worthy Of Gre
| dit-you must not give any to those mentioned
in The newspapers-relers TO the under current
leaning Of the Anglo.Saxons here toward an an
nexalion with their brethren Of the United
States, unjuslIy and untruly attributed to then
| by Lord Durham in his time, but true as tht
gospel now" ... -,
The Montreal Witness has an article in whcI
the advantages and. Disadvantages of AnnexO
ZION are slaled.-PuiS. Gas.
