Further Relative to the Loss of the Steam
ey John Adams.

CINCINNATI, Feb. 4, 1851.
On Monday morning, the 9th Of January, at
three clock, the steamer John Adams, Captain
II. A. Jones, with "a heavy freight and large
number of passengers, bound for Cincinnati,
when near the head of island Eghty-two, in the
Mississippi, struck snag or stump, and sunk in
two minutes. The cabin parted from the hull and
the latter went down in about sixty feet OF water.
She had about ninety or one hundred deck pas
sengers, few Of whom only were saved. The
cabin, in breaking from the hull, separated in the
middle, which, doubtless, was the cause of many
of the cabin passengers saving their lives. The
ladies' in the cabin were all saved. After suffer-
ing many hours in the water, they were enabled
to get ashore, at the plantation Of Mr.. Carter
The forward portion Of the cabin, including the
futures foated down to the head of island Eighty
three, where it grounded. About three clock
in the afternoon, the steamboat Peytona came
along, and took the passengers on board from
that part Of the wreck. From thence, the p. pro-
ceeded with all possible haste to the other portion
of the wreck, where she took all on board, with
the exception of Captain Jones and his family,
Mr.. ilson, the mate, and few others.
Owing to the early hour at which the John Ad-
ans sank, almost every was asleep, and, il
being so sudden, few were able 10 get stuff .ient
clothing to cover themselves, and many Of them
are indeed ia most destitute condition.
From Ca. tain Shalcross and others, we make
up the following summary ofpersons on the boat,
and the number saved:
