STEAMBOAT RACING.

The New York papers are outrageous I'D
their denunciations Of the captains command"
ing the Aida and Francis Skiddv, on account
of the race in which they INDUCED last Friday
so shortly after the disaster on board the Hen
nv CLAW. They had ust as well save their INK,
and spare the penal laws which they all unite
in calling Tor so loudly, unless they cen induce
owners to be very cautious In the selection OF
their captains. If men of certain character
be appointed to command boat, they will
blow her up rather than be beaten. 1t is u re-
markable fact too, that men of this descrip-
ton are generally, in other respects, the best
offic ers. They are ambitious, in all respects.
They not only wish their bouts to be the swift
est, but they also desire them 10 be the neatest,
the best looking, and best furnished on the
river. They are always particular in attending
to the accommodation OF their passengers. and
making their situation as comfortable as pos
sible. In a word, they take pride in their
craft-love her as man might love his eldest
born-and canno endure that she shall be beat
en-, while steam can preveniit. Such. at least
is very often the character of the Mississippi
captain.
We know not how it is on the North River;
but we do know that on the Mississippi, the
passengers are very often as muck to blame
for accidents of this nature us any body else.-
La the excitement of a race, even the most
timid lose ull fear-and we do say that a steam,
boat race on the Mississippi is the most excit
ing Of all the racing ever either saw or
imagined. No human being can imagine how
intensely so it is, without having been engaged
in it. We have seen the passengers crowd
around the captain, when the engine was
strained 10 her very last capacity, and the boat
was trembling, as if in commissions, from the
immense power upon her, when pound more
of steam would have sent her and all ia her
flying through the air like so many rockets,
and beg him not to let the opposing boat pass
him. There are few who have travelled on the
Mississippi that are not aware of these facts
An anecdote told by one of the best and most
experienced captains on the Mississippi, will
illustrate what we have said. A lady who had
never been on board steamboat before, and
who was in great terror of what might hap
pen, sent for him and begged him not TO race.
He promised her that he would not do SO; but
in very short time boat, which had been in
pursuit of them, was about TO pass them under
way, when the excitement became very great,
and the lady, herself, under its influence. so far
lost her fears, that she came forward of her
own accord, and begged him TO throw in ano-
Their barrel of tar. This auecdote, of the truth
of which we have no doubt, is sufficient 10
show that the captain is not always the per-
son most TO blame when disasters of this kind
occur. 1t is true he ought to have the moral
irmness to resist the opportunities of his pas
sengers, and no person should be a captain who
had not But the assengers themselves have
no right to complain when they operate upon
him 10 induce him 10 engage i'm race

consequence has been that the same state of
