REPORTED ILLNESS OF THE PRESIDENT.
A gentleman who left Memphis on the
9th inst. informs US that a telegraphlc
despatch reached there, stating that Pres
ident Taylor was seriously i'll, SO much
so, that his life was despaired of. We
seriously hope the report may be unfound-
ed or greatly exaggerated. For some
time before he reached Washington he
was indisposed, but after his arrival at
the capital we saw it stated in Wash
ington paper, that he had entirely recov-
cred. Nothing was said Of his illness at
the time of the delivery Of his inaugural,
which induces us to believe the report
erroneous.

BLOODY OYSTER WAR-A difficulty
occurred week before last, in the neigh
borhood of Drummondtown, on the cas-
tern shore of Virginia, between the citi.
zens of that neighborhood and party of
marauders from Philadelphia. The Bal
timore American learns that fleet Of
twenty boats from the latter place had
recently entered that quarter of the bay
and commenced dredging for oysters, in
violation of the laws of the State, where
upon the small boats were manned and
armed with two pieces of cannon; thus
prepared, conflict ensued, in which one
ovsterman was killed and the most of the
schooners shot away, Ninety persons
were subsequently captured and lodged
in Jail, but released ON account of some
informality, In the skirmish that took
place one of the Virginians was shot, the
ball entering the mouth and coming out
at the side of the head, carrying away one
of his ears, The Richmond (Va.) Times
mentioning this affair, says nothing of
any one being killed, though as many as
thirteen oyster vessels with their crews,
were captured, The Virginia law imposes
penalty of $500 upon each offender, and
authorizes the sheriff to summon the posse
c0nlitatus to aid him in capturing any
who may violate the Statute.

STEAMBOAT EXPLOSION AND Loss OF
LIFE.-Mr. Granville Young, who was an
eyewitness to the melancholy casualty,
has politely furnished us with the news
of the explosion of the steamboat Woods
man, last evening at Bayou Sara landing,
confirming our despatch published above.
The accident occurred as the boat was
pushing out from the shore, about 4 o.
clock, The Woodsman was bound tor
Red River. She collapsed both OF the
hues of her larboard boiler, killing and
scalding several persons. Our informant
states that three were killed outright, and
that several others were missing, among
the latter one of the engineers OF the boat
Twenty-Five others were dreadtully scald-
ed, some of whom must die from their in-
iuries-four or FIVE Of them certainly,
The scene is described as most heart
rending, Husbands and wives, parents
and children, brothers and sisters and
other relations were crying piteously, and
calling to one another in the most agon-
izing shrieks. In many instances when
these unfortunate victims were brought
together, so scalded and mutilated were
they that it was impossible to recognise
each other.
The steamboat Hecla, Capt Peter Del
mare, was rounded to, and offers were
rendered to take the sufferers and their
friends back to n. Orleans but as it was
deemed more practicable to nurse the
wounded on shore than on the boat, this
humane offer was declined. The citizens
of Bayou Sara we learn, deserve the high
est commentator for the attentions they
gave to alleviate the pains of the suffering
and dying-N.. O. Picayune Marcs 3.

Mr. EDIToR-Permlt me to say few words
through the medium of the Telegraph, to your
| numerous readers, respecting the Address deliver
ed on last Sabbath, to the EN- rants from Hemp.
| stead and Lafayette, to that modern Ell Dorado,
California. was pleased with all the views there
in expressed; but especially that with regard to
the estimate we should place upon riches, and the
supreme Importance we should attach to the Word
of God. Our worthy brother happy in his
illustrations, eogent in his reasonngs, and eloquent
in his appeals. Surely the young gentlemen who
heard this address, cannot but have made good
resolves, at least, to take the Bible the man
of theiI COUNSEL and as sc lamp to their path"
in their long and perlous journey. TIE coinci-
dence, too, alluded to by the speaker, was to my
mlnd, interesting, well as instructive, as lesson
of Providence Strange that the speaker had
selected the perg subject upon which to dwell,
particularly in his address the Importance of the
institutions derived from the Word of God that
the Agent OF the Bible Society had designed call
ing attention to, without either of them knowing
any thing about it, before entering the pulpit that
morning!
At the conclusion of the Address, the Agent
presented in the name of the Washington Bible
Society, copy the Bible, to each emigrant
companied with few remarks suitable to the
occasion.
This, Mr.. Editor, is another instance of the
NAV remember that nearly three years ago, when
the volunteers were encamped in your town,
pains were taken 10 supply most of the volunteers
with copy of the New Testament, each, May
we not nationally conclude that some who have
thus been supplied with this heavenly treasure,
will have been proftted by the Iiheraity and zeal
of YOUR ctiZens, who organized and sustain this
noble Society? May they continue 10 do good
as they have opportunity, and scatter abroad the
bread of life to the furnishing.
Ihave only to add, that good supply of Bibles
and Testaments Gept constantly on hand, at
the cheapest possible prices, at the Ware-rooms
of John S. Spense, the Librarian. B.
The following items we take from the
New Orleans Picayune of the 7th inst;
We have learned with the highest graft
fication, that the city authorities have
given directions to the surveyors of the
three municipalities and of Lafayette to
construct parallel levees i'll front of and
near Carroliton, by which the threatened
inundation will be efectually prevented.
In the Picayune Of the 9th, we find the
following:
I.EvEE INUNDATED,-Crevasse.-The
steamboat Commodore Perry, which ar
rived here last night, reports that the
levee had caved in six miles above Don
aldsonville, opposite Philadelphia Polht.
The crevasse is said to be from forty to
fifty yards in extent, and when the boat
passed, the water was rp9nlng through
the opening with great velocity.
ANOTHER BREACH.--The steamboat
General Worth, subsequently arrived, re-
ports break in the levee. about 4 miles
below Baton Rouge. From all appear
ances the inundatiOn well do ali immense
deal OF injury to the neighborlng planta-
tons.
