CINCINNATI, April D.


The steamer Belle of the West, Captain
James, was burned one mile below War
saw, Kentucky, at l O'Clock this morning.
She was bound from this city to St. Louis,
with California Emigrants. She was I'M
mediately run ashore near Warsaw, made
fast, and the stage plank run out. Up TO
this moment, the flames had not burst
forth.
The after hatch was then raised. for the
purpose of letting water into the hold, but
such was the pressure of the flames that
all efforts to quell them were entirely fruit
less, and in a few moments the whole boat
was wrapped in flames.
The total number Of passengers on
board is estimated at 400-amOng whom
were two companies of California emf
grants, and about twenty families removing
West. From the register it is ascertained
that over sixty have perished and the
probability is that many have been lost
whose names are not enrolled.
Such was the progress of the fire that
before the passengers could get out of their
state rooms, after the first alarm of fire,
all communication between the after cabin
and forward part of the boat was cut off,
and either all were compelled to Jump
overheard, or perish in the flames.
The scene is described as heart-rendng.
At the time of the deck falling in, lady
and gentleman, with a child in his arms.

were precipitated into the flames.

VF So counterfeits on the Wilmington and
Brandywine Bank, Wilmington, Del, are in
circulation. The impression is much lighter
than the genuine bill, and appears to have been
printed with paler ink. The signature of the
President is bad, but that of the Cashier very
fair. But the main points of detection is in the
interior paper Of the counterfeit, it being one
sixteenth of an inch shorter and in TIE vignette,
the figures being badly executed. The woman
at the top of the note. representing Liberty, has
her left foot turned, as if her large toe was
where the small one ought tobe. The shading
lines on the faces at the sides of the note are
all turned in opposite directions to those on the
genuine note.

that Mr.. Thomas Johnson, whose absence
from his home has been the occasion of so

friends, has written TO them within the last

MIEEsoTA.-As this newly organized territory
is but imperfectly known to many of our read
ers, few particulars of its leading features
will doubles prove acceptable Minnesota is
about four times the extent of Ohio, and reach
es 675 miles from s. f. to n. w, and lies be-
tween n. lat. AZ deg 30 min. and 40 deg. The
centre of the territory is about 1900 miles in a
direct line from either ocean, 1000 from the Gulf
of Mexico, and 500 from Hudson's Bay. 1t is
chiefly rolling country, we'll watered with riv-
ers and lakes, and the highest hill does not ex-
ceed 1000 feet above the sea, and 1909 feet
above the surrounding country. The Capital,
st. Paul, is ID miles by water and nine miles by
land below the Falls of St. Anthony, and the
river Is naylgable to the Falls for steamers of
considerable burthen. St. Paul contains about
1900 inhabitants, and several large hotels, and
the new town of St. Anthony at the Falls, about
900. There is also a town named Saltwater,
on the St CroiX River IS miles from St. Paul,
with 900 people, hotels and saw mills. The
Marine Mills, Point Douglass, Mendoza or ST.
Peters, and the Falls of St. Croix, are flourish
ing villages. Day laborers obtain $40 a month,
and mechanics 81, IS to 81 per day. The public
lands may be taken up at 81 ,25 per acre. The
total number of Indians is 81 600, and there is q
strong military post at Fort Smelling, on the
Mississippi. The whole number Of white in
habitants in the territory is about 5000 The
distance from New York to St. Paul, by Buffalo,
Detroit, Chicago and Gaiena, is 1887 miies--by

NAVAL ExEcUTIoN,-It Is said that as
the U. S. sloop of war Germantown was
recently passing out Of the harbor at ST.
Thomas, 4 man was run up to the yard
arm. 1t will be remembered that scri-
Gus mutiny occurred on board this vessel
while lying in Hampton Roads, just pre-
vious to her sailing on her present cruise.
The actors in that mutiny were thought
to have been too leniently dealt with.
These facts taken in connection with the
circumstances mentioned above, are pain
fully suggestive of an opinion that on this,
as on another memorable occasion, a sum

DECAY OF PEACH TkEEs.-A singular fact,
and one worthy of being recorded, was men.
toned few days since by Mr.. Alexander
Duke, Of Albemorale. He stated that while on
visite to his neighbor his attention was called
to large orchard, every tree in which had been
totally destroyed by the ravages of the worm
with the exception Of three, and these three
were probably the most thrifty and f1ourishiug
peach trees he ever saw. The only cause Of
their superiority known to his host was an ex-
pertinent made in consequence of observing
that parts of worm-eaten timber into which
nails had been driven were generally sound
When his trees were about year old he had
selected three Of them, and driven ten-penny
nail through the body, as Rear the ground as
possible. Whilst the balance of the orchard
had gradually failed, and finally yielded entire
ly to the ravages of the worm, these trees, Sc
lected at random and treated precisely in the
same manner, with the exception Of the mailing,
had always been vigorous and healthy, furnish
ing him at that period with the'greatest pro-
fusion Of the most luscious fruit. It is suppos-
ed that the salt of iron afforded by the nail is
offensive to the worm, whilst it is harmless, or
even beneficial to the tree.-Southern Planter.

who does not prefer it In transplanting fan
cabbages let the soil be rich and mellow, snd

common collard can be made to head by taking
off the tap root and planting it deep. The
great enemy to the fall cabbage is the green
worm. We have found q free use Of lime and
ashes, busted into the head, to be . great pre-
ventive, but crop Of chickens is the shurest
remedy. We find that the cabbage, like the
turnip seed, natures earlier BY being raised in|
a higher latitude. There are few plants that
enter so largely into the daily consumption of
our people as the cabbage tribe; and when id
is SO easy to raise the bhnched and delicate

! THE PORTUGUESE DHFIcULTY.-The Wash.
ington correspondent of the Philadelphia North
American gives the following statement and
explanation of the position of affairs between
the United States and Portugal:
A grave Misrepresentation of our relations
| with Portugal has beer conceived, in conse-
quence of the appearance of two vessels of war
| IN the Tagus and the comments of the British
statesmen and the transatlantic press After
various unsatisfactory attempts on the part of
the last and preceding administrations, to ef-
feet some adjustment Of the claims of citizens
Of the United States against Portugal. Pres.
dent Taylor instructed Mr.. Clay, our Charge
d'Aftairs, to submit a formal and final demand,
allowing twenty days for the return of an an
swer In consequence of Sights which had
been previously offered to the diplomatic agent,
Com. Morgan was ordered to repair to Lisbon,
with one or more vessels of the Mediterranean
squadron, for the purpose of receiving Mr..
Clay, IN case it became necessary for him to
withdraw from the mission, as well as for the
purpose OF exhibiting to the Court of Portugal
the confidence which his Government reposed
in him. In the event of distinct refusal it
was the intention of Gen. TAYLOR to have laid
the whole subject before Congress, for its de-
cisive action. The presence of the two vessels
OF war had no reference to the controversy, ex-
cept what have stated, and Com. Morgan ex-
ercised his own discretion, in being attended
with more than one. The power to grant let
ters of marque and reprisal resides exclusively
in Congress.
