The steamer Henry Clay took fire this morning,
about two miles this side of Younkcrs, ON her
way from Albany, with about l5o passengers on
board She caught fire amidships, about four
o'clock, aud was entirely consumed She was
five miles aacad Of her time, but had not been
racing.
The loss of life is variously stated, but It seems
certain that not less than twelve or fifteen have
pcryhed. Among these arc the wife and two
children Of one Of the professors at West Point
Onc of his children WAS burnt on board, and the
other died ou the road TO the city. Two ladies
were drowned and their bodies taken ashore.
One woman leaned over the railing, holding a
child by its clothing in her teeth, to keep ii
from the flames, until she was so badly burnt
that She had to drop II into tho water. The chi(
was drowned, but the woman saved, though badly
burnt The child was a stranger to her. \
number Of women and children arc still missing,
and supposed TO have been drowned or burnt

THE NIILL-WHEEL.

By CHAMPION BIssELL.
Within the mill-wheel's dripping cave
How flies the white and cleaning spray,
In music falling on the wave
That dances to the open day!
How cool the eddies Of the stream,
In lazy beats returning slow
About the black and roughencd beam,
Whose mossy feet are far below
The mill above is racked with noise,
And gray with clouds that ever fly;
And now hear the miller's voice
Ashere and there the workmen ply. il.
hear the wagons round the door,
The din of bargain in the hall;
The wheel beneath the raftered floor
Groans on, the willing slave of all
Unheedful of the summer wind,
That DER the level water skins,
Tnheedful Of the frosts that bind
With Icy blades its dripping rims;
Nor ever slacks its measured sound
To think of all it has to do,
But patient turns its endless round,
As If Its will were endless too.
BY night the watcr.gatc is drawn:
Within the wave the wheel Is still;
And, waiting for the lingering dawn,
1t rests beneath the lonely mill
Sleep, busy wheel-a respite ask
When all thy daily work Is done,
Aud would thy fixed and endless task
We're less the image of my own

DisgrRccfuI Riot.

CINCINNATI, july -.
A most dis9raccful riot occurred at Newton, IN
this county, on Sunday night The sale OF liquor
having been prohibited by municipal regulation,
German was found guilty Of violating the
law, and heavily fined. Dcprcdations were sub
scquently committed upon the property Of the
persons who made the complaint, and suspicion
rested upon the German. The citizens then held
a meeting and ordered all Germans to leave the
place. A riot was the consequence, which, how
ever, has been temporarily suppressed The
Germans of the surrounding towns take sides
with their countrymen.
In this city, body Of 200 Germans held an
Indignation meeting, in consequence of having
been fined for desecrating the Sabbath by gam
bling singing through the streets, &c. They
dscaim all religions and law, and declare that
every man in this free country has right to do
as he pleases, They also declare preference for
their national flag over all others. This move
mcnt is opposed by naturalized Germans, and
other meetings will be held.

The Massacre OF Capt. Marcy and hi
Command by Comsnche Indians.

ST. LOUIS, July -.
The following arc all the particulars received
here of the massacre of Capt. Marcy and his
command by the Comanche Indians:
Government expresses arrived at Fort Smith
on the 18th, bringing intelligence Of the destruc-
tion of the expedition at the hcadwaters Of Red
river and the murder of Capt Marcy and eighty
men by Comanche and Kioway Indians The In
dians were about 1000 strong, and fought the
troops all day. Captain Marcy, Dr. Shumard,
Capt. Strain, and ]. r. Suydam Of New York,
are supposed to have been killed.
The Comanches were on their way to attack
the posts on the branches when they were met
by Capt Marcy and his troops They entered
his camp in friendly manner, received presents
from him, and left at night running of with a
number of mules. The next morning they re-
turned and attacked the camp and, after resisting
them fortwcuty-four hours, Capt. Marcy deemed
il advisable to surrender, in hopes they would be
satisfied with the plunder Of the camp The re-
port however, is, that they made an indiscrimi-
nate massacre Of all the prisoners. The greatest
excitement prevailed on the frontier, and it was
thought that Fort Arbucklc and other posts
would be next attacked

A Faint or n FeIntI

General Pillow, who, it will be remembered,
wrote a letter, during the Mexican war, putting
himself, and dug ditch upon the inside Of q
breastwork at Camargo, has just written letter
to the editors Of the Nashville Union in defence
OF the military exploits of Cen Pierce. In this
letter, Pillow enters into an elaborate argument
to prove that Gen Pierce did actvdkly tajHt, and
thot it was not a6ectsd in order that his men
should curry him beyond the reach of harm.
Here is Il sentence FROM the letter
1t is presuming a great deal to suppose that
those who bore him from the field should not
have known the difference between an officer
whose physical strength was actually so overtaxed
and in n state Of total helplCssness aud uncon-
seriousness, and one Cho had, from timH1y, qfecie9
Utis cOndjiioR.'
As il has never been charged. 50 far as we
know, that Gen Pierce merely pretended to faint.
we presume that the Democratic aspirant for the
Presidency will feel very little gratitude toward
Gen. Pillow for his ridicuously silly letter in eX
plauaton Of the "l little incidents that occurred
10 him while in the army in Mexico. Gen. Pierce.
when he shall receive this letter will nvolunta-
1ily cxclaim, Save me from my friends
