Steamboat Rnctngf

Yesterday afternoon, about Al o'clock, the
steamer Phoenix departed from Alexandria for
Washington with a number of passengers, and
when she had made about mile or more of her
trip, the Thomas Collyer followed her. crowded
with passengers among whom were many Ia
dies. When the Phoenix was passing the Arse
nal below this city, the Collyer had come up
with her, and was about to pass her; but the
Phoenix, being next the shore, headed outward
across the bows of the Collyer, and the latter,
to avoid a collision, stopped her machinery for
a moment, and then continued on her way,
having reversed positions with the Phoenix,
and being now next the shore. By the cessa-
ton Of her machinery, however, she did not
get in advance of the Phoenix, and this boat
Immediately headed toward the Collyer, and
when opposite the Penitentiary, struck her
amidships with great violence, and pressed her
towards the shore. The effect of this collision
upon the Collyer was to carcen her towards the
starboard OF shore side; and us she righted,
she rested upon the guards Of the Phoenix in
such manner as to keep the boats in contact
The Collyer now bore off from shore towards
the fats, she being Of lighter draught than the
Phoenix. BY this manGuyre, it was thought
she would lodge the Phoenix there, and proceed
ON her way; and the muddy water in the wake
Of the Phoenix gave signs of such result.
But she was not fully caught, though by the
maneuyre the Collyer got clear of her embrace,
and made good her journey in advance Of the
Phoenix. When the junction occurred, man
on board the Phoenix was observed endeavoring
to connect the two boats by means Of q cable;
but he was commanded to desist.
Our statement is obtained from gentleman
who was on board the Collyer, who is not likely
TO make an error, and whose word cannot be
doubted. He informs us, moreover, that the
most serious alarm and CONSERVATION pervaded
the passengers around him; and that the danger
of the case gave cause for such alarm, must be
apparent to all.
With regard TO the boats on our river, and
their officers and owners, we have no fayorit-
ism. In the performance Of their duties and
praiseworthy efforts to accommodate the public.
we wish them all success; but when the safety
Of the public becomes endangered, we have a
duty V perform that calls upon rs 70 disregard

SEVERE ACCIDENT. " yesterday afternoon,
while two lads, sons of Mr.. George w. Dom,
of II street, in this city, were gathering chest
nuts at Logan's Lot, about mile from home,
one of them named George, and aged ii years,
fell from q height of about twenty-five feet to
the ground. His brother ran to him, but find
ing him unconscious, and unable to restore him,
he ran all the way home for aid Dr. Edelin,
was immediately summoned, and, taking with
him such rcstoratives as he thought were likely
to be needed, fastened to the place where the
poor boy was lying, and found him not only
unconscious but cold and giving only feeble
indications of life. Dr. T. lost no time in adj
ministering the remedies that were indicated,
and fortunately soon succeeded in producing
favorable symptoms. The boy was then carried
to his home, where Dr. f. remained by his side
throughout the entire night, emitting nothing
that medical skill and the utmost kindness
could suggest; and we are gratifed to learn
that success appears to be attending his efforts
We sympathize deeply with the suffering lad
and the afflicted family, as well as in the senti.
ment Of gratitude expressed by every one for
the tenderness and devotion evinced by DR..
Edelin, on so trying an occasion.

it is understood voters are wanted at many

Departments in this city we do not know but
as Mr.. Stuart has done his share of duty in the
canvass we trust that his dependents may be
permitted to 90 home and attend at the ballot
box. There is q great deal at stake in the Old
Dominion. The election of Raymond is doubt
ful--the election of Bolts not desirable in GER
