BURNING OF THE SULTANA.

This splendid steamer. lying at the
foot of Mullanphy street, was discovered
to be on fire at eleven o'clock, A. M.
The fire was first discovered in the vi
cinity of the engine room, and before suf-
ficient assistance could he rendered, the
steamer was enveloped in flames. She
was loading for New Orleans, and was TO
have left yesterday afternoon or this
morning. She had on board, among her
other cargo, upwards Of one thousand
bales of hemp, which greatly contributed
to the speed of the flames. The persons
employed on board had great difficulty in
saving themselves. This was not effect
ed without the loss of some lives. Mat
thew Burns, fourth engineer, has been
missing ever since. No doubt he was
burnt to death. A negro fireman and
deck hand are also missing. AS soon as
practicable the Sultana was scuttled and
sunk. Her hull and machinery will be
saved-the latter in damaged state.
She was owned by Capt. Cable and Mr..
Shields, first clerk. The boat was in
sured for $4,000 in six offices, viz:
Lexington and Madison, each $4,000;
Columbus, Knox, Floating Dock. and
Union, each $4,000. A portion of the
hemp was insured at Sl20 per ton. From
the Sutana the fire caught the Sugar Re-
finery of William Angelrodt, which was
entirely consumed. Mr.. Angelrodt's loss
is said TO be fully covered by insurance.

Mr.. EDIToR:-
Agreeable to the request of the party
which assembled at the residence of the
Rev. Austin Fuller, yesterday morning.
we give you minute of our proceed
ings. Our carriages though not very
light and convenient, were none the less
safe, and our horses, though perhaps they
could not vie with an Eclipse for speed
and bottom, were none the less steady.
And as we proceeded on our way all Ma
ture smiled-not only smiled-but snick-
cred right out-and flowers redolent with
perfume bowed their heads in courtesy
to the lovely and loveing damsels who
accompanied us. On arriving at Maxim
kukkee lake, we were welcomed by our
excellent and accommodating host, Mr..
Lyons, who had amply provided the very
best which the market afforded. Our re-
past was served in the very best of style
and passed off in the most pleasant man
ner possible. Several toasts were then
drunk by the gentlemen. Among them
the following one was offered by Mr..
Smith TO our hostess. "Our hostess is
like what the British thought General
Jackson to be at the battle of New Or
leans host of herself.
We then adjourned to the lake. where
in boats supplied by our careful host, we
had most delightful sail; the gentle
men alternately relieving each other at
the oars. On returning from tn. lake,
we entered our carriages. and, after sew
eral boisterous cheers from our party,
and returned, by our host, in the shape
of salutes from an hundred and twenty

Education.

Mr.. EDrToR:--
AS some good essays have appeared re-
Gently in the ''Pilot," on the very inter.
esting subject of Education. and believ-
ing that next to piety, Education is the
thing which should concern all enterpri-
sing people. | beg leave to allow my
opinion also.
The fact is we MUST give our children
a competent business education, or they
will be the hewers of wood and drawers
of water in the land, business by the
way as honorable as selling goods or any
other when talent is employ ed in it. In
other words we must educate our chill
dren in order to prepare them to fill any
occupation in life which they may choose
with honor.
The father who has attended with care
TO the cultivation of the intellect of his
son and trained him to habits of indus
try, has much less TO fear when the son
leaves the parental roof than he who has
neglected the mind Of his son and given
him wealth.
1t should not be our object in educa.
ting our Children to have them. leave the
shop or farm of their fathers for liveli.
hood in some of the indoor occupations;
bu: it should be the object of avery father
to raise a son worthy the high privilege
of an American sovereign whose vote
counts one, whatever may be his occupa-
ton.
And this, especially, should be the Oh
ject Of every farmer and mechanic who
is proud of his rights as citizen; then
the low humbugs OF office-seekers and
quacks Of every kind will find less cur
rency; then (the appetite being formed
fer reading,) much of the money now
paid for DRAINS, and the WEED, will be-
come due the printer and bookseller;
then the DANCE will give place to the
LYcEuM-the sERENADE at weddings to
the keen cuttings of the quill through
the weekly paper by way of merry COM
| pliment; then the Jours Of the villages
will leave the shop at six in the long
summer days not to lounge around some
hotel, but TO repair to the young mems
Library, which. under such circumstan-
ces would certainly exist in every coun-
try town; then the farmers lad when he
comes to the village will feel just as if
each man were his uncle, and each lad
his cousin; then in seeking associates
the inquiry will not be are they wealthy
but are they intellectual, do they read,
&c.
Now all this is desirable. Who does
not wish to see the farmer and mechanic
become as we'll educated as any other
class?
The question may be asked by the far
mer. how shall we attain to this high
standard of intelligence? The answer is
get GOOD teachers in your common schools.
Say NO to every quack teacher that pre-
sents himself until you procure good
one. Then stand by him, aid him as
you would your carpenter, who is build
ing your house-furnish the mate rails
BooKs-don't be afraid to get books any
more than you would putty for your gla-
zier. Visit the schools-encourage your
children--urge them forward and the
work will soon be accomplished; your
son will be NAN, and your daughter a
LADY, in the fullest sense of the word,
and you will have dore your duty to
your offspring. your country, and your
self. X.

Forty thousand dead letters have been
received at the General Post Offic from
California. This is-an unnecessary and
useless expense. Ninety-nine hundredths
of these letters contain nothing of impor-
lance. They ought to be opened at the
distributing post office at San Francisco,
and only such as contain money and other
valuable articles returned. This would
save the expense and trouble of return
ing this immense mass of trash to be
opened and burned at Washington.

THE CELEBRATION.

Mr.. EDlToR:-
Permit me to say few words in rela-
ton to the way the 18th Anniversary of
American independence was observed in
Plymouth. At an early hour in the day
a company consisting of from % to 80
left town and went to Maxinkukkee Lake,
(thinking no doubt that they could be
better amused there than at home, and
hope they realized all they anticipa-
ted.)
At ii o'clock. A. NJ. the procession
was formed in front of the Durham
House, as per programme, heretofore pub
lished. The company was then marched
under the directions of the Marshall and
his assistants through the principal parts
of town. and theace to the Court House;
but it is to be regretted that the Court
House was much too small for the occa
sion. The ladies, however, all got seats
and probably an hundred gentlemen. The
house was called to order by the Mar.
shall, and, after benediction and reading
Of the Declaration of independence, C.
H. Reeve, Esq. delivered an Grafton
which done honor to the occasion. Mr..
Reeve certainly made an effort to instruc,
as we'll as entertain the audience-ir
which he was successful as was clearly
manifested at the time. After which the
company was marched back to the Dun
ham house, where they were dismissed
Good order was observed throughout ths
day.
The boys made a great deal of amuse
ment after dark. with fire crackers
throwing FIRE balls, &c.
The foregoing is short synopsis o
the celebration, and think further com.
msnt is unnecessary. 1t is suggested

And hallowed by thy prayer.

THE Hypocrisy and Cowardice
of Plate" Temperance Sermon, by Rev.
T. A. Goodwin, A. M. of Rockport, In
diana. This is the title of a neat- little
pamphlet of Is pages, printed on good
paper and got up in happy and beauti-
full style. 1t may be obtained of Mr..
Goodwin by mail. free of postage, at the
rate Of IS per hundred.
Mr.. Goodwin deserves a never fading
wreath. He is one of those choice spir-
its that hover around US diffusing the CO.
pious dews of love, mercy and goodness.
We would embrace him, and press his
hand with an ardor and enthusiasm COM
mensurate with his efforts in the glori-
Gus cause of Temperance. and urge him
on conquering and to conquer until King
Alcoho. shall fall at his feet, and his ex-
piring groans announce to the world the
utter humiliation of this formidable ty-
rant to rise and reign no more.
We hope that his little work will find
its way into every family, both the tenn
perate and the Incorporate, bearing glad
tidings of JOY to blighted hearts. May
they take it and press it to their bosom
as long sought and welcome messenger
Of happy days. May they gather from
its pages virtue, love and holiness. May
they learn that there is no pleasure in
the paths of vice and degradation. That
happiness consists in temperance, virtue,
religion, and submission to the will of
God. Let them now burst the chains of
slavery in the dungeons of Alcohol, and
rise to life and light, to live and breathe
and have their being.
We part from Mr.. Goodwin with sor-
row and regret. We hope that his la
bors will not be in vain. May he arrest
with miraculous hand, the crowds of
blooming youth who are rushing on to
the gulf of despair. May the sun of Tenn
perance which shines upon him now in
crease in brilliancy until he shall be the
attractive point OF divine light, bringing
thousands and tens of thousands to wor-
ship at his shrine.

CaSS and Van Buren,.

The Chicago so called Democrat. the
editor of which is the Long John Went
worth, says that she feels authorized to
say that Mr.. Van Buren, is willing to sign
letter, in conjunction with Gen. Cass,
surrendering up all claims for the Presi-
-dency, for the sake of harmonizing the
Democratic party Elk.
That Mr.. Van Buren, has authorized
Long John to make his declaration of pro-
posals we have but little doubt, for it is
complete daguerreotype likeness of his
course of conduct from the time of his de-
feat in the National convention that NOM
mated Mr.. Polk. 1t fully demonstrates
that no principal, bnt of the baser sort.
ever governed Van Buren,-but the most
abhorrent malignity against one of our
best patriots has urged him on 10 exert
his influence to divide, distract and de-
feat the democratic party. The declara-
ton is that he is yet candidatel Of
what party? Why the abolitionists, free
soilers and antifugitive mongers,-and
he would hand over all those to the DEM
ocrats if his old rival would but relin-
quish his claims to the presidency His
revenge cannot be appeased but by the
sacrifice of Gen. Cass! Do this. and he
will renounce all allegiance to abolition
ism, of every species, and the fag end ef
all pretexts, opposition to the fugitive
slave law and the compromise, and again
be initiated into the democratic ranks,
shaking his rebellious sins from his skirts,
and give order TO all his faithful trio to
withdraw the numerous names he has sug-
gested for the presidency, calculated TO
enlist local feelings and distract the DEM
ocratic party. This is the sum and sub
stance. No good democrat will capitu-
late on such contemplate terms. And
Gen. Cass, whether the nominee or not
of the approaching National Convention,
is more deeply seated in the affections of
the American people, for his patriotic
course. than al any former period, not
withstanding the chicanery and scenes
of fanatics and disorganizers to inquire
his prospects. Fanaticism, and Gen.
Taylor's fresh wrought glory on the bat
tie field, defeated him. He will live in
history TO be respected while Van Buren,
will only remain to be despised for his
treachery.

but for the mean banter held out by the
Chicago editor.
