STEAMBOAT CALAMITy.-By Geographic des
patch from Montgomery, Alabama, of the 7th in
slant, we learn that the steamer St. Johns was
burnt to the waters edge on the evening of the
9th, near Bridgeport, Dallas county, Alabama.
About thirty persons, including seven or eight la
dies pershed in the flames drowned
The fire caught accidentally in heating the boilers
Lieut.. RICE, U. s. army, lost $25OOOO. Many
other Caliornans lost their all. Boat insured for
$4,000.
We incline to the belief that the loss of Lieuten-
ant Rice must be over-estmated, perhaps by or
two cyphers for it is obvious that any one having
SO large amount the Geographic account re-
presents, would have deposited it at the mint in
New Orleans.
