".4n Address 10 the Farmers Of the Eastern
Shore Of maryland, from The President and Drec-
TORS Of The Farmers Steamboat Line Of .Nnryta,d -
A well written pamphlet with the above title
has been sometime on our table. It's aim is to
show TO the farmers of the Eastern Shore, the
great advantages which would arise from a
"Stcam Freighting Company" to establish line
OF boats to carry their produce to market 1t
shows the superiority OF that mode Of conveyance
over otlcrs-poinis out the beneficial effects
such boats have produced on the Delaware, and
urges cnerrrising men TO take hold Of The mat
ter at once. 1t argues earnestly and manly; and
without doubt the regular running ola boat 10
the rivers, and landings along the rivers in Cecil
county, would greatly facilitate the forwarding
Of ma rkcting to the cities.
We learn from tho pamphlet, that at q meet
ing held at Chesapeake city, or the End OF
March last, the following gentlemen were eloct-
ed Directors for the ensuing year: John B. Phil
lips, George Bryan, Jacob p. Cox, Benj,min S.
Foulks, Dr. y. NJ. Tindal, Robt Fl. Thona,,
Lewis Ellison, John Pencil, Jas. l.. Craig
At meeting Of the Directors heldIthc samc
day tho following officers we've elected: r. II.

The School EEial

Mn. EDrToR i notice in your last pa
per the flourish about meeting, which a
few friends OF this measure succeeded in
getting up at North East last week. What
a pity it is that the Orators who are trav.
elling through the County, did not give
US an account OF their demonstration at
Cowantown, and tuIl description of all
the occurrences at North East, and what
it was that made the "elucidation" ncces-
sarv, and how many Of that large con-
course assembled after the fire, when tie
vote was taken.
l am OF the opinion that School Bill
well adapted to the interests of all classes
of society. the poor as well as the anlu-
ent, would need 10 "elucldation." y Who
made the appointments which have been
published! were they called for by the
"sovereign voters" conscious of their ig-
norance 10 read or understand: or, were
they the offspring Of PhiIanthrophy, such
as passes current nowadays, and is often
pamed oil under very suspicious circum-
stances, Tor the genuine article.
Mr.. Editor, we are not disposed to con-
tribute our mites to the payment of any
sum, much less the SUN OF $500, to any
Superintendent of public Schools, and we
will endeavor to show, on the 9Th day Of
May. that are can "eluciGate' and do tho
roughly understand the whole of this
School Bill.

The ELEcTioNs.-At these polls two
elections are quietly coming on. They
are coming unheralded by hurrahing, Or
flying Of flags, or by the usual oblatiohs
of whiskey. Thanks to the Spirit Of
Peace that is reigning. On the first Mon
day in May, new Board OF town Com
mssioners are TO be elected, and on the
"Wednesday following comes the vote on
the great Reform question, and the greater
School question. We presume there will
be no "cooping" or "stcaling" OF independ
ent voters, on either occasion.

gives the following account OF the ''Dog
train" which recently arrived at St. Paul
from the extreme northwest:
aThe train arrived on Monday last

deep in the North. The three dogs,
having made fifty miles day some days:

A FINE PORTRAIT OF Mr.. Clay
When IN Baltimore a few days ago, we
called in to see our old friend D. A. Wood
ward, Esq, artist. Among the paintings
which graced his rooms was splendid
portrait of Hon. Henry Clay, which Is
SAID by competent judges to be the best
likeness ever taken OF that eminent man.
1t was finished on the day he commenced
his 18th year, and it finely shadows forth
his firm and manly expression, and the
fire of his eye, which remains undimmed
by age We also noticed among the por-
traits there, an excellent likeness of the
graceful and gifted "Kate Harcbell:"
whose literary reputation IS SO high in this
State and at the South. MIR. Wood
ward formerly, Tor short tune, resided
here; his old friends, by calling at his
rooms, would be struck with the excel
lence he has attained in his art.

Aartu2 Steamboat Aecidcnt-One Hundred
Lires Lost.
A terrible steamboat accident, attended
by fearful loss of life, occurred this morn
ing at about / O'Clock. The splendid
STEAMER Belle OF the West, which cleared
from this port, loaded with California
bound em,srants, for st. Louis, had gone
but mile below Warsaw, KY, when her
boiler burstcd. II is confidently asserted
that not less .han one hundred persons
were burnt to death and drowned. The
scene that followed the explosion is repre-
scented as having been the most awful ever
witnessed on the western rivers The OF
fcers saved their lives 10y Immediately
jumping overheard and swimming ashore.
The Belle OF the West was owned IN tins
CITY, and was insured for $4,000. She
is said to be totally lost
SECOND DISPATCH
MADISON, April %.
Another account OF the Steamboat Dis
aster.
An eve witness TO the horrible scene
attending the destruction Of the Belle OF
the West, (Which it appears was burnt.
instead OF having collapsed her boiler,)
gives facts IN connection with the calam-
ty. He says that the fire was discovered
al about IL O'Clock, in the hold, when
she was Immediately run ashore, where
she was made fast, and stage plankS run
out. Upto this moment the flames had
not burst forth The alter-hatch was
then raised for the purpose OF getting wa
t., into the hold, but such was the pres
sue of the flames, that all efforts to quelI
them were OF no avail. The total num-
Der of passengers is estimated at 400,
among whom were two companies OF Cal
ifonia emigrants, and about thirty fami-
removing westward.
1t is ascertalned from the register that
over sixty souls persisted, and probably as
many more have been lost whose names
are not enrolled Such was the progress
of the fire that, before the passengers could
get out OF the state rooms, all communica-
lion between the after cabin and forward
part of the boat was cut Oft, and all either
were compelled to jump overheard or per-
ish in the flames. At the time the deck
fell in, lady and gentleman, with child
in his arms, were standing between the
chimnes.
A large number OF horses and cattle
were nearly all burnt to death.

THE FkAcAs BETWEEN BENTON AND
FooTE. THE fracas which occurred last
week between Messrs Foote and Benton
in the Us. Senate, is calling forth de-
nunciations in every quarter, from press
es Of every party. In general they charge
the blame upon Nj. Toote, and some Pr
pers clamor for his dismissal from the
Senate.
II is a matter which causes feeling Of
humiliation an the heat Of every citizen
as men, because those so learned-so
elevated in station so far forget themselves
as to enact scene worthy only of the
most rude and ignorant, and as Americans
because, such scene occurred III the Sem
ate chamber OF the nation, which hitherto
had not been disgraccd by any such bear
garden exhibitions; and as it is a matter
of interest TO every citizen, members OF
the wing party must be allowed 10 express
their opinion about what, under other cir
cumstances might be termed a locoioco
family quarrel. We are not disposed to
heap SO much Indignation upon the unlor-
tunatc Senators Us some aTe-we look up
on the occurrence more as misfortune
than as crime but still we cannot but
think they should be made to feel the
heavy censure of the whole people. In
the warmth OF debate on exciting ques-
tons, men will sometimes play "tantastic
tricks" which in an ordinary way they
would regret, as much as any Of their
friends, and they are to some extent 10 be
pitied.
Little as we like Fooe as a Senator, we
are bound to say he is far less censurable
than Benton. The latter had denounced
the Southern Address, Foote had risen to
defend it. "By whom" he asked, "ls
that address denounced? By The oldest
Senator-by the gentleman who"---
here his speech was arrested by the ap-
proach of Mr.. Benton, and Mr.. Foote
stepped back into the aisle leading up to
the Chair OF the Vice President, and drew
from his pocket pistol.
Now, Foote had said nothing 10 war
rant Benton to approach him TO attack
him in the street, much less III the Sen.
ate, and the burden Of censure should rest
Oh the latter. There had been various
quarrellings between the parties Foote
had, on previous occasions, been very
severe on BentoR--we heard him n
dulge in such f-rce Recommendations once
that the Missouri Senator withdrew from
the Senate-there was a probability of a
street fight between hem, and as Foote
is a small man, not at all able to cope
with Benton in rencoutre, he had pro-
vided hims III with pistol wherewith
10 make defence. This pistol, unfor-
tunately, he drew IN the Senate to keep
Benton at bay.
!! was ridiculous caper Of Bent on's,
pulling his YES: open and calling on
Foote. to shoot, after he saw the pistol
had been taken from the latter; and
there are many who are gratifed that
cold Bullion has at last found some one
to abuse HIM as he IN days Of old abused
others, and to check his bullying propen
