ANOTHER AWFUL STEAMBOAT En-
PLOSIOS.

A frghtfal stsamboat explosion occurred at Plus
burgh IN Friday afternoon winch is thus noted in
the Pittsburgh Gazette OF Saturday;
A sound resembling the explosion Of a
cannon, was distinctly heard about three
O'clock yesterday afternoon, and in short

full load3of fright, and crowded with passea-,

very much shattered. a portion Of the boil
or deck Vas blown away, andgyerything was
in the most frfghtful confusion
Sever4l persons were dragging the river
for the dead while in the slime along the
shore, lay three dead bodies, covered with
blood, which flowed from many wounds, and
their flesh was, in parts literally scalded off

GOV. FLoYD.s

Recommendation 10 the Legislature OF Virginia
proposing TO call Convention Of all the States to
have a final settlement Of the question Of Slavery
has received no favor SO far as we have Observed
in any quarter 1t bears the aspect of impractical
bity on the face of it. Moreover the South has no
reason to believe that she could better her condition
by re- organization Of our system OF national gov
ernment. Let her hold fast by the Convention as
il stands; it's 10 her tower of strength Bait Am
In alluson to Gov. Floyd's Recommendation the
National Intclligencer Of Saturday says
One word more, only, for the present :-
The ayowed motive land, VIC doubt not, the
real one) of this recommendation by the
Governor of Virginia is to quiet existing ag-
itation and make what he calls !. a final set
Element of the question of slavery between
the slave-holding and non.slaveholding
States" Why, the question is already final
ly settled. The oppugnation of an acciden-
tai act of the Legislature of a single State,
the insane.fury;of abolitionists, and the sedi-
tion preached from the pulpit, constitute no
refutation of this general truth, The lava
hiding sense of the people Of the North and
East will sufficiently neutralizc the denunci-
ations from the pulpit aud the rawlings Of
Abolitionists and infdel orators, and the
Courts will take: care of unconstitutional
statutes. Had the Governor of Virginia, or
any incredulous reader of these lines, visited
the Representative Hall, as we did yesterday
and with us beheld the tranquility, propric-
ty and order of the proceedings of that body
and the quiet department Of the members
who composeit, in contrast with the scenes
enacted, and the intensity, of feeling manifcs-
ted IN every look and every action, in the
same Hall. just twelve months ago, he would
beyond doubt have been satisfied that the
settlement made at the last session Of
Congress is final, so far as concerns the pres
ent generation; and that one might as we'll
think. to wake the dead with penny trum-
pet as te revive that agitation by any art
unless we're it possible to do it in any way, BY
the success of such a proposition as that
which the Governor has just placed before

THE HOMESTEAD BILL.

The Homestead bill before Congress pro-
yides for giving to every head of family,
who is citizen of the United States, one
hundred and sixty acres of land out of the
public domain The Republic though not
opposing the bill, suggests doubt Of its
propfiety, and says one effect Of the law will
be to destroy any advantages that might
have been expected by our old soldiers from
the Bounty Land Law Of the last session W.
No head Of family would pay the soldier
anything for his warrant or his land if he
could get his one hundred and sixty acres
for nothing.
