IHE AWFUL STEAMBOAT DISASTER

We published, on Saturday, and in yesterdays
Herald, brief telegraphic account OF the destruc-
ton. by fire. of the steamer ST. Johns, on the Ala
bama nver, by which thirty lives and over
quarter Of million of dollars were lost.
The teegraphic despatch was dated Montgomery,
Alabama, on the 7th inst, aud was as follows

The Calfornians reported to have lost their all
by this disaster, were probably passengers by the
steamship Alabama, which arrived at New Orleans

Price was among those who lost their lives by the
burning of the Ill ated boat. 1t is supposed that the
quarter of million of dollars belonging to Mr. p.
will be recovered Itwould seem incredible, how
ever that such man should bring such an amount,
when he could have depos,tedlt in the mint at New
Orleans. This amount of wealth he had amassed
in California, and was returning home to enjoy the
fruits of his good fortune. when the melancholy
event above mentioned occurred We believe that
Mr. Price belongs to Brooklyn, where his family
now reside.

The accounts from California full favorable ae
could be expected at this season. The two January
steamers from San Francisco brought down about a
million Of dollars in gold dust half Of which went
to New Orleans in the steamship Alabama, and the
other half came this city In the steamship Empire
City. The Georgia only had about IS 900 in gold dust
ON freight. II is estimated that the passengers in
there two steamers brought . large amount Of gold.
The sggegate value Of gold dust received up to this
time from California does not vary mueh from thir-
teen millions of dollars Nearly the whole ofthst large
has been added 70 the metallic currency Of the
country, and will the basis Of individual
credit for at least hundred millions Of dollars
The returns Of gold have not therefore, been limited
anticipated In proportion to the value Of merchandise
exported that country. II estimate the value Of
outfits Of passengers, sc &C., should find that full
enc hundred millions Of dollars have already been in
vested in that trade, and In expeditions to that
country, Of which about thirteen millions have
been returned in gold dust. In other words have
been furnished with capital Of $l3 900 f5em Cali
ornia, from which have done . business OF
500 0oo. This is not, after all, very great sx-
papson OF credit, large portion Of the property
sent out s probably employed in the PaciAc and tho
capital invested probably In active operation than
IL would have bssn the Atlantic. There Is an In
field in that portion Of the world for the pro-
htsbe employment Of large commercial marine, and
for long time vessels must be supplied from this side
OF the continent California has the whole, paid up
pretty well thus far and there's very little danger but
that shan Ultimately nnd the trade with that
try not only highly but the prompt

requires something more than the process of law
TO restrain the city fathers-the guardians Of the

determined perseverance, in a system Of burial,
which has been pronounced as dangerous and pol
iuting TO the living. The ten Governors have cor
demned It-grand Iuriss have presenied' it as
Nuisance, and the Herald has exposed its banefR
effects in several ariicles; but the goody guardians
of the Corporation too busy promoting jobs and
the political and partsaE elections Of officials, to be
able to devote sufficient time to correct an evil
that Enay prove devastating in the extreme We

TROUBLES IN TAMMANY HALL-DIsUSIoN AMONG
THE DEMocRAcY-We give In to-day's paper a |
very curious address issued to the democracy of
New York, on the present troubles that afflict
them, which has emanated from one Of the twin
committees at Tammany Hall. the chairman of
which Is Fernando Wood. The other and oppo-
sing committee Is headed by Henry M. Western.
The difference between these two committee ees is
not very papable to the uninitiated but as far as
we understand the points of disagreement between
them, amidst the technicalities and humbug which
they utter against each other, we suppose that the
Fernando Wood committee embraces all the old
barnburners' interest, including the return of our
particular pet in politics, John Van Buren, Esq.
The other committee, headed by Henry NJ Wes-
tern, embraces the views, feelings, hopes, pur-
poses, boots breeches, and old clothes, of the old
hunkers. The address which we publish to-day
from the barnburnng section, may be the first step
towards compromise Between the two commit
tees, and it is very evident that unless they unite
their fortunes and settle their difficulties in some
way, including the return of John Van Buren, and
his friends, the democracy of this State can do
very little In future. They must also discard the
Wilmot proviso, and bury it nine feet deep under
the surface Of public opinion.
This movement, indicating such differences,
provesthe accuracy of the description given by Mr..
Calhoun, his famous speech relative to the causes
which have been for many years past gradually
imparlng the Union and creating alienation be-
tween the North and the South. Many of the
great religious denominations have been split in
two the democracy of the Union has been split In
two; the wing party is the verge of similar ter
ri bic split; and nothing seems to be in prospect buta
general breaking up, dissolution and disunion of
all parties and factions, and a regular scrub race
for the next Presidency. With this impression,
we expect soon to committees organizing, and
movements made, when the slavery question is set
tied in Congress, in favor of bringing forward
Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, John C. Calhoun,
John Van Buren, James Buchanan, Thomas IL.
Benton, and long list of other talented and able
men, that may well be included IN the category of
candidates tor the next Presidency. Let us have
scrub and breaking up of all parties, at least
once in quarter of a century. 1t clears the at.
mosphere, purifies the air, destroys all noxious
pors, and begins new game with new gene
ration.

Jour SPECIAL TELEGRAPHIc CORRESPONDENCE
WAsHIsGroS, March 10, 1850.
To morrow is the day fixed upon for Mr. Foote's
motion refer to o committee Of thirteen compro
mise the slavery question; but cannos give you
much hope of either the motion being carried,
carried, the movement being successful Notwith-
standing the speech Of Mr. Webster, the Southern
members In both houses, understand, will not sup
port any plan OF compromise that may emanste from
Southern men. The general expectation is that Mr..
Foote'S resolution will be voted down at once and 30
will any other proposition soming from q Southern
source. The Southern members think that compro-
mise must come from the North The general feeling
here at present Is that the great crisis 10 not far or
and that 1t will occur when the question OF the sdmis-
rion Of California comes up for action fear very
much that there are breakers ahead. In fact, the
South think and act II they determined that
unless the North will give some indemnity for the
past, and security for the future they will not be
satisfied They want to be assured, II the slavery
question is compromised at all, that the North will
respect the provisions Of the constitution relative to
fugitive slaves better than they have hitherto done
They want guarantee OF this, and awaiting it, In
some shape sr other.
General Cass is expected to speak to- morrow, aud
1t Is raid that be is willing to admit slave State
or two from Texas, when the proper time arrives.
