Dreadful Steamboat Disaster.

The steamer Troy, from Sandusky, attempted,
at half past O'Clock this afternoon, to get into
our harbor, but being obliged to desist, by the
strength Of the ice steered for Black Rock to land
her passengers. When just entering Niagara river,
off the head of Black Rock pier, her boiler exploded,
with q terrihle report .hioh have heen heard
for miles, blowing part of her upper machinery
and sundry Of her passengers, the most OF whom
were gathered upon the upper deck, overheard
As soon as the smoke and steam cleared away, il
was perceived that her forward parts, immediately
over her boilers, were complete mass OF ruins,
and the people upon her presented a scene incapa-
BILE Of description. None in the cabin appeared to
be materially injured, but Of those who her
deck and about her boilers, not one escaped with
out more or less injury. II is reported by the
clerk that ten certainly killed. and il Is feared
that an examination of the wreck will discover
more.
The wreck foated down 10 Black Rock pier, at
the ferry, and was there secured. Small boats
went out promptly and picked up the passengers
who were blown overheard. IL is feared, but not
certainly known, that some of the passengers are
drowned.

arrival of an express mail from thiher in eighteen
days, the sled being drawn by dogs. The three
dogs, having made fifty miles day, some days,
were much fatigued at the end Of their Journey ;
and being fed, laid down in their harnesses for
several hours and slept but moving their feet while
sleeping their sides, as if they were still trav-
cling.
The sledge contained the mail, and provisions for
the dogs and two men, pemmican, &c; there be-
ing dwellings to stop at for many hundred miles.
One Of the men, half breeds, travelled ahead of the
dogs and the other, with stick to drive them and
rope to hold back the sledge down hill, came be-
The winter has been rather severe, but provisions
abundant. Fish have been caught in immense
quantities. The buffalo hunt was not very produc-

A YousG ADvEsTuRER.-A boy Of some twelve
thirteen years Of age brought 10 the Central
police Office few days ago, wishing to be sent TO
Philadelphia, from which place he had run away.
He gave his name as William Henry Warner, and
said he lived with his mother in the vicinity of
Eighth and Cherry streets, Philadelphia but
wishing TO have ride and 10 see something Of the
world, he had got the cars about week ago
and came on here. The manner in which he man
aged TO make his way on here shows n degree of
perseverance not often exhibited by one young.
When the train in which he was, stopped at Grsy's
Ferry, the conductor discovered him and put him
out; but at Chester he again found in the cars
and again put out; and IL reasonably concluded
that they had at last got rid Of him. When, how
ever, the train arrived at tho susquehanna, he was
found secreted under the bottom Of the cars,
crouched in n position in which, bad the slightest
accident occurred his death would have been incv-
liable. This determination had its effect, and he
allowed 10 prosecute the rest Of his journey in
a more comfortable and less dangerous manner.
Three or four days experience here, however,
seems 10 have rendered bin home sick, and, in
cordance with his wish, he sent back 10 Phila

GThe engrossmeht Of the California
bill in the Senate created quite stir among
the South Carolinians. The editor OF the
Charleston News on receiving intelligence of
the fact grew SO desperately excited that he
at once called for Convention of the peo-
pie Of the South. He thought the time at
hand when the South should come out and
declare her right. under the Constitution, to
hold slaves; to assume and maintain the
ground that the question was settled on the
Missouri line; that they-the people Of the
South-would make no further compromise.
The editor talks thus and unblushngly
claims a guaranty against agitation. He
manifests an attachment for the Union and
expresses determination TO maintain the
inviolability Of his rights, as a Unionist and
Constit nationalist. Well, let him maintain it
but not cry so huskiy before he's hurt.

We are pleased to learn that the Railroad
connecting these important points is rapidly
Fastening to completion. The distance from
Indianapolis TO Lafayette is estimated at
sixty-two miles. From the latter place TO
the town of Lebanon the road is now nearly
ready to receive the iron, and the route is
fixed upon, over the remaining distance to
India napolis, and will shortly be put under
contract. The whole line is a straight and
level one and will be constructed at much
less cost than works of the kind generally
are. The country through which the road
passes is rich, well settled and in a thriving
condition, and its wealth will certainly be
rapidly developed by the operation oil this
great public improvement. The Northern
part of our State is, we are glad TO remark,
prospecting in healthy manner. May it
continue to thrive.

Forget thee when the valley stream
Forgets its pebbled path:
The flower that droops above the wave
Each pleasing hue it hath;
When morn forgets the eastern sky,
Or noon her glorious God,
Or eve the soft, delicious dew,
That cools her fragrant sod.
If hearts are held as blessings be,
Thy memory shall pass from me.
Forget thee! twas thought unkind,

But rather told of fickleness,
OF vow and promise vain.

And !, how all sincere.
For only when silent be,
Thy memory shall pass from me.
