We subjoin few further particulars of the late
melancholy steamboat disaster on the Delaware
river from the Philadelphia North American of
yesterday morning:
"BopIEs FoUND.-At an early hour Yesterday
morning, the steamboat Ohio, which was wrecked
by the collision with the Commodore Stockton, the
evening previous, fioated up the river with the
flood tide. and grounded in the Jersey channel,
opposite Spruce street, where she was lying fast
last night-her upper decks being out of water.
"The greater portion Of the baggage and other
valuable articles, belonging to the passengers,
which was swept from the boat when she sunk at
Kaighn's Point, was recovered in the course of
yesterday, by the fishermen and others along the
shore. Some trunks, valiscs, &c., were caught
below Gloucester Point.
"The greatest anxiety WAS manifested yesterday
to know whether any lives had Been lost In the
morning the impression was strong among the OIL
GERS Of the boat that all on board escaped During
the forenoon young gentleman by the name of
Taylor, from Charleston, South Carolina, whose
parents reside in Brooklyn, New York, known to-
have been passenger, was hauled ashore in a
seine at Kaighn's Point.
"In the afternoon Mr.. John Hinkle, high con-
stable of the Northern Liberties, hooked up
drowned man on the Ohio His name ia supposed
to be Frederick Shelter, of Baltimore He is about
forty five years of age, and bald headed, dressed
in black coat, black satin vest. and striped pants.
A silver watch and SLOT 80 were in his pockets.
These yaluables were delivered to Captain Davis,
commander of the boat.
pdlC Ol pdutS was also lOuH0, Win u ROlu
watch, and $68 80 in gold, notes, and silver in
them. The owner, the superstition is, persisted.
He probably had stripped himself to swim ashore.
This watch and money was likewise delivered to
Captain Davis. We should add that ticket of
fare, taken from the pants, was the name of Hill.
"Ncarly all the furniture was removed from the
Ohio yesterday. The company design to bring
from New York Immediately the necessary nppar
atus to raise her. Her machinery has not sustained
any injury. and the damage to her bow is by no
means serious.
"We were informed by Of the passengers
yesterday evening that Mr.. Findley, aged
gentleman, who was aboard, missing. not
having been or heard Of since the disaster It
is feared that he must have met a watery grave.
''We regret to state that DIR. Wood, son in law

DEAR SIR: The Union Convention of hIississipp,
after session of two days. adjourned last night at
III o'clock Great enthusiasm prevailed. 'Union,
Concession, Compromise every thing for the
cause''-seemed to be the universal feeling. 1t
was gratifying to sec and hear men who had here
toforc widely differed in politics heartily uniting
on the great question of Union Dsunion, and
discardng all party distinctions. Here is the ticket
presented to the people
For Governor-Hon. H. S. FooTE, of Kinds.
For Secretary of State-JAMEs A. HORNE, Of
Lauderdale.
For Auditor-D. r. RUSSELL, of Carroll.
For Treasurer-WM. CLARK, of Hinds.
Gen. Foote addressed the convention at length.
Suffice il to say that he did the cause and himself
ample justice. With him, how fail? No
one thought that the Executive chair, which be
neither sought nor desired, would be an adequate
reward for the invaluable services which he had
rendered his country; yet, the highest testimo-
nal of the affection and gratitude in their power
to offer him, they made him the nominee for the
chief magistracy of the State. That office will
add nothing to him, but he will reflect honor upon
it. The convention was addressed by several dis
tinguished gentlemen, among whom were Col J.
N. Davis, DIR. Lylcs, Col. Cobb, Col, Stark, w. T.
Martin, Gen. VIM. Clark, Geo. S. Yerger, Judge
A. r. Johnston, Gen. Freeman, and Gen. Polk.
