THE DAILY TIMES:
TRUTH AND ERROR.

BY CHARLES MAcKAY.
Blessings on the Truth, 1t prospers still.
And Error, though it lives uxuriantly.
Law Llves last, and grows decrepid, and expires.
10 be succeeded by its progeny.
But truth ne'er dies Once lie, the seed be sown
No oilght can Kill it neither winds nor rain.
Nor llghtnngs, nor all wrath of elements,
Gan e'er uproot it from the hungry SOIL
Error has had her triumphs in the past:
Truths are 10 come. In ages far remote
Her light was feeble as a glow-worm's lamp.
but led by noble thoughts and valiant deeds,
framed by the aspirations OF the WISE
Tended by vrtuous hearts with pat emit care,
Mid cold, and Darkness and tempestuous wrong.
Rose higher, and glowed clearer until now
When, like beacon a mountain top,
Seen of the nations, it illumes the void.
Truth was snow flake on precipice
10 the far off cold SUBMITS of the past,
Which fell; and falling, gatherd strength and bulk
To tall again more heavily, and roll
Adown the slope Of Time. IT'S rolling now,
Huge as an avalanche; and in the air.
The whizzing, and the roaring, and the crash
OF It's great progress may be heard afar.

STEAMER JOHN ADAMS SuNK-15U PER.
SONS DRowNED.-The Memphis Eagle
of the 3lst ult., says: =,
At 8 o'clock on the morning of the
2Sth inst, the steamer John Adams
bound for Cincinnati, heavily freighted,
and full of passengers, struck a snag at
island SO near Columbia, Arkansas. about
200 miles below this city, and sunk al
most Immediately. The hull was bro
ken in two by the force of the concus-
sion, and sunk so instantaneously that all
the deck passengers and hands, number
ing over one. hundred, with only three
exceptions. were drowned. The cabin
separated from the hull as it went down,
parted about midway, and hoated off.
Most of the cabin passengers. and all of
the officers of the boat, were saved by
means of wood boat which was in tow
at the time of the accident, on which
they remained until three o'clock, p. m,
when they were picked up by the Pey-
tonia.
The boat and cargo are a total loss.
in fact every thing was lost-even to the
wearing apparel of the passengers, who
were in their state rooms asleep at the
time
One of our informants states the num-
Der Of lives lost at one hundred and fifty.
This is one of the most frightful IN
stances of the loss of life through the
agency of snags, which we remember to
have happened on the Mississippi for
years, and should speak trumpet-tongued
to our representatives at Washington for
relief. They have been heretofore i'm
portnned by the press and the people Of
this Valley. by every possible mode of ex-
horlation and entrea,y. for appropriations
to remove, and keep removed, these terri
BILE enemies TO human life and property
but so far without avail. W;iii the peo.
pie submit tc this negligence any longer!
MIST we wait till another, and another
of these awful casualties occur, before
causing--if need be, forcing onr servants
at Washington to take such steps as
will insure the destruction of these aSom-
Unable, death dealing snags?

MINING ON LAKE SUPERIoR-TheG Green
Bay Advocate, speaking of the mining
operations Oh Lake Superior, says:
In order TO overcome the difficulty Of
cutting the copper into movable masses,
a gigantic furnace is now being construct.
ed TO melt them and cast them in such
pieces as may be handled The plan is
thought TO be feasible, and if successful,
promises to lesson very much the ex.
penses of mining. The vestiges of ap-
parently very ancien, mining operations
continue 10 be met with, aud il greater
numbers and extent, than any previously
discovered. The age of these traces is
supposed to be at least 1900 years; but
their connection with particular race
has not been ascertained. There are in.
dications, however, that the copper was
carried of from the mines 10y the way Of
st. Mary river and the lakes The ex.
cavatious found are, IN some cases, such
as could only have been effected by years
of labor, and they have very much
facilitated the miners, as wei. as pointed
them TO the best locations. Il i, said that
a road from Green Bay to The mos,
sou.herIy point of Keewenaw would be
less than 200 miles in length. and shorten
the present route at least 100 miles.
