THE BUCKEYE BELLE.-The editor of the
GAINESVILLE Courier has conversed with several
persons who were on the fatal boat, and thus
reports the sensations Of two Of them at the first
moment they were conscious of the accident.
One gentleman was sitting reading about
midway in the gentlemen's cabin, and the ne 1t
knowledge he had Of himself, he was lying in
the LADIES' cabin. He supposes that he was
thrown upward through the hurricane roof to
considerable height, and then fell through the
wreck into the ladies' department, a distance of
sixty or eighty feet from where he was sitting.
He assisted the ladies' off the wreck, but was
scarcely conscious of what he was doing, and
was insensbe to the effec, Of some scalds and
severe bruises until after the excitement was
over
Another gentleman, who was asleep in berth
Immediately over the boiler, says that he had
sensations similar to what person might im-
aglne he would have by falling over a roaring
cataract Of several hundred feet, and although
he remained but moment or two in mid ai-,'
the incidents Of life passed through his mind
He recovered his CONSCIOUSNESS after falling into
the water, about rod or two from shore Where
the latter gentleman was reposing, everything
around was blown entirely away, and scattered
into thousands Of fragments.
Neither of these gentlemen could be said to
know anything of the explosion, excepting by
ita effects. the act itself beng 30 stunning and
overpowering a. to deprive them of sensation
for the moment.
A letter to the Columbus Journal makes
mention Of an act Of discretion aad bravery on
the part OF young lady passenger, highly cred
itable -
Senator Convey, was sitting in the ladies'
cabin, aud in the crash, the stove, near which
he was sitting, was thrown upon him and broke
his leg A young lady Of our acquaintance,
Miss Charlotte Stone, Of McConnelsv man.
ifrsted great presence of mind. By her exer.
toss she removed the hot stove from Mr. Gov, Y,
and took him from the cabin wreck to the guard
Of the boat She then procured mattrass and
put him on it tall he could be removed. The
hot stove with it's burning contents, was on the
floor, and would have soon Set the wreck on
fire. She took blankets and sheets from the
berths, and plunging them IN the water, threw
them on the stove and floor, and thus AVOIDED
that danger.

against Joaes. BY the friends Of oil the opposing
candidates. There appears to b determine
ton with the friends of tho varisos AAidates
In the south to combine upon either Jehnson Of
Van Antwarp in order to defeat Jones. This
do not belive can be .ceopplishsd, from the
fact, that certain members Of the General
Assembly from, the south, cannot be induced TO
vote for either Of these gentlemen.
You are doubtless aware that Judge CLARK and
Jude Wilson, have pretty large lobby d-lega-
ton from Dubuque. Their respective friends
confidently announce that their particular favor
tie, can command the almost unanimous support
Of the democracy Of Dubuque county, and that
Gen. Jone. il decidedly one Of the most unPoP-
uisr men in the county.
So very tenacious are these gentlemen in
this opinion, that they seem willing to barter
away the interests of the North and distract the
democracy Of the state by lending their coun-
tenanos and support 10 the election of Sena-
tor from the South in order to sppease their
hatred Of Jones. am not disposed 1t this tune
to 20 into an investigation Of the merits Of
such course on the part Of gentlemen who
assume to speak for the people Of the North. -
It is sufficient TO say that they have but little
prospect Of success in their mad schemes
against the North, Within three days think
the decision will be made in favor Of Jones -
This will be the case unless things change
materially from the shape in which they present
| themselves At present.

MAIN STREET AGAIN.

In another columa will be found notice IN
viting proposals for the grading Of Main street
from First to Eighth streets; the paving mate
rial to consist Of the best quality Of Lime Rock
1t is with much pleasure that We make the an
nouncement, though, had We bsen left to :
choice Of pavement, We should have selected
plank material a. greatly preferable to Lime
Rock. The ease and facili,ies for safe, conve.
nient, and economical transit which are &C.
cured by planking streets, hold out IN induce
ment for that kind Of paving, which should not
in our opinion, be overlooked. But tar para.
mount to these considerations stands that Of
health. The dust arising from Lime Rock, and
which is so abundantly produced by the con.
slant friction of the numerous vehicles in cease
less activity upon the streets Of al considerable
towns, cannot be otherwise than detrimental TO
health. Our own experience tells rs that in all
the cities Of the Union, whsrs paving with
Lime rock prevails, the alarming visi,a,ions Of
that most dreaded Of all miladies-the chole.a
,--haye shown themselves with the greatest vir-
ulerce. We believe Il to be . conceded fact,
that during the prevalence Of that scourge,
Lime water 10 regarded q thing to BE moss
scrupulously avoided. Where Lime psvementa
exist, the cir becomes 90 impregnasedswil the
particles Of dust arising from \, that We con
stantly inhale them. They % far become :
part and parcel Of the atmosphere itself that we
cannot inhale the one without the other. We
do not enterta,n single doubt in our own mind
but hat the deaths Of hundreds and thousands
ia St. Louis, Cincinnati, and other such places
where Lime paving is recognized, may be
traced 10 this cause. For this reason, then, We
are opposed 10 Lime Reck pavements.
