STEAMBOAT COLLISION.
EVANSVILLE, April 27


About ten P. M. last night, the Chicka.
saw and Clifton came in collision at French
Island. The bow of the Clifton struck the
Chickasaw little forward of the wheel
house, when the latter boat commenced
sinking, and in few moments the cabin
parted from the hull and foated off; and
she having on board locomotive and a
large quantity of heavy gas pipe, caused
her TO sink Immediately.
Many Of the passengers and officers
jumped on board the Clifton, and others
were saved on the cabin; but of those be-
low it is thought fifteen or twenty are lost,
as they had no time TO get up on the upper
deck, so rapidly did the boat go down;
fewer would have been lost. however, ifthe
Clifton could have remained along side;
but she was also in a sinking condition,
and had TO run ashore, where she was only
saved from sinking by discharging large
portion OF her cargo.
All the officers of the Chick kasaw, except
the carpenter, are sale.
About $4,000 worth Of dry goods be-
longing 10 B. Harrel, Of Cairo, were lost,
and were but partially insured.
The Chickasaw was owned by the Cap
tain, first Clerk and Deans & Wayne Of
Cincinnati.
When the boats were meeting the bells
were rung and everything done that could
be to avoid the collision, and we under.
stand that no blame is attached to the off.

STEAMBOAT EXPLOSION.
ST Louis. April 26.

The steamboat Prairie State, when
rounding from Pekin, on the Illinois, be-
tween nine and ten o'clock on yesterday
morning, collapsed the flue Of her larboard
boiler. Both ends ofthe boiler were blown
out. and but for q lot of hay which was
slowed away in the engine'room the loss
of life would have been larger Twenty
were either killed or badly scalded, mostly
hands and deck passengers. The second
engineer was Instantly killed and the first
slightly wounded. After the explosion the
boat took fire, but with the assistance oi
the crew of the Avalanche twas extinguish.
ed before it had done much damage.

SEN ATE.

TUESDAY, April ~.
The Congressional Apporionment Bill
was read third time and passed by a vote
of 90 for, and l3 against it. 1t passed as
il came from the House without amend
ment.
The bill to amend the charter OF the
Portage Free Turnpike Road was passed;
also, the bill TO define the duties of Salt
manufacturers. This bill repeals the old
law. and allows any quantity of Salt to be
put in barrel, provided the weight is
marked distinctly.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.
Mr.. Rush, from the Select Committee on
Temperance, reported an amendment,
striking out the original bill, (known as
Fishers billy and inserting a substitute.
somewhat less stringent, providing, instead
Of Commissioners to regulate sales that
any one, under certain restrictions and by
giving bonds, might sell, for medicinal
and artistical purposes only. The pro-
visions for search and seizure remain
much the same.
After two or three motions to postpone,
&C., had been voted down. the original
bill was stricken out by very decisive
vote. But three speeches were made.
Several bills were passed this morning,
among which are the bill prescribing a
tariff Of freight on railroads, and the bill
introduced by Mr.. Bliss, for taking mea.
slires to perfect the title Of the State TO the
lands granted by Congress.
The two Houses have come to final.
ity" on the bill making certain appropria.
tons for 1859. and killed it outright, by
agreeing to disagree Ageneral appro
priation bill is now before the Senate.

THE NEW TAX LAW.

At this time the New Tax Law forms
the principal topic Of conversation. In
many places we notice objections are be.
iny made by the whig papers to the law on
the ground oil the increased amount of
property that 1t will place upon the Dupli-
cate. and, consequently. increase Of taxes.
In this county objection is made on ac-
count of the exemption Of two hundred
dollars to each individual Ii is said that
this exemption will be the cause Of less
taxable property being returned this year
than last. How this may be we cannot
say until wo see the returns. But il is
certainly little singular that in some
counties the objection is tha! the taxes will
be increased, while here the objection is
that the exemption is too great.
Now we do not wish 10 be onsidered
as taking ground either for or against this
law at the present; for we confess igno-
rance as 10 how it may work in practice.
When we see the returns from the various
counties, then we can form some opinion
of it; and no correct opinion can be made
up before. If!he provisions Of the law are
wrong we will not defend it simply because
democratic Legislature passedn We feel
ourselves no more bound to defend a
wrong or mistaken policy in the demo-
cratic party than in the whig party. And
we hope ever 10 preserve independence
enough 10 speak out when we believe an
error has been committed by our party
friends. We pity that man who is so
shackled and trammeled by party as to
approve Of every measure passed by his
party, and to denounce every act passed
by his opponents. Such an editor is
disgrace to his species and unworthy the
name OF man.
But because we may be of opinion that
our party friends have erred in judgment
in enacting particular measure, or in
doing particular thing, Gas adjourning
over from May till November by the pres
ent Legislature, for instance it is no rea.
son or would be no excuse for lorsaking
our political friends. "To err is human" {"
And that man who would forsake the party
TO which he belongs and which advocates
say t,centy measures which he approves,
and have passed one which he does not
approve, is as little entitled TO the appel
laton of man as he who fails to denounce
his friends when they commit an error.
He is truly selfish and devoid of principle,
who would 60 over 10 his enemies because
he differs with his friends on measure
that reaches few dimes in his pocket, and
affiliate with party. all Of whose meas
ures are calculated, in his opinion, to op.
press the great body Of the people.
These remarks are not made TO fit the
case Of any individual, for we know Of
none to whom they are applicable. But

pUIIV0Vnct.
BY vote Of Congress, this much talked of
kossuh and Long correspondence has at length
been brought to light, and it reveals potronery
and cowardice on the part of Consul Hodge,
Commodore Morgan, and Captain Long, such as
would disgrace the most supple tool ofthe ''Neph-
ew of his Uncle.'
The following letter from the Commodore to
the Consul, tells its own story;
