LATE FROM TEXAS.
ARRIVAL OF STEAMER LOUISIANA
Loss ofs,eamship independence.

The Steamship Louisiana, Capt Llwless
arrived this morning from lndianolavia Calves
ton.
By the arrival of the Louisiana we learn that
the new steamship independence, Capt. Stob-
card, totally lost, in attempting to cross Mat
amorda bar, on the morning of the goth nlt :
She struck and broached to IN the breakers,
when she soon became unmanageable. The
sails were then set, and the engine kept work
ing to force the ship over, but all to no pur-
pose.
The entire cargo, consisting of Assorted mrr-
chandse amounting to about $i7 600, was then
thrown, overheard, but the ship still worked t.,
the north Of the bar, and brought up on the
reef, whore she bilged on the 9th, at A. NJ,
after being ashore twenty seven hours the en-
CINE ceased to perform only when the frs were
put ont by the water, the ship soon broke in two
and keeled off shore. The man,nast and smoke
stack we've then cut away To keep the ship from
keeling, so that the sea could break over her
deck On the evening of the 27th ult., the off
GERS of the Louisiana with Capt Kerr, of the
propeller Rayburn, made an attempt to reach
the wreck, but failed. On The morning of the
25h they succeeded in reaching her with their
boat and in ten hours landed her passengers
and crew, numbering one hundred and fifty nine
persons. Durn. the whole of the Goth, the
Louisiana left the scene of disaster, on the eve
ming of the 30th ult the Independence had
sunk 10 the upper deck. The cargo and vessel
a total loss.
The following are the names f thnse who
were lost on the Goth by the swapping Of one
of the ships boats in attempting to leave the
wreck Mrs. Mnot and three children, Mrs
Lie,,t Jones', and Mr. lIovay; chief mate

SWAMP LANDS.

We were informed yesterday, by his Excel.
lency the Governor, that he had just obtained
from the Surveyor Generals Office, the neces
sary data to enable him to enter upon the dis
charge Of his duty, in selecting the Swamp
lands for this State. In majority of cases, he
will be governed by the government surveys
while where doubts exist as to the CORRECTNESS.
or rather fullness of the returns, agents viii
be employed to personally examine the lands anc
make the selections.
There have been complaints in certain quar
ters, that this important matter has been unnec
essarily delayed. So far as the Governor is con
cerned, we think no just complaints can be
urged. A rush of business in the Surveyor
Generals Office, has prevented him until now
from procuring the information necessary to en-
able him to proceed with the work. Now tina
the information is obtained, there will be no lacl
of energy, in facilitating the work.

AN OUTRAGE.-A most unpardonab!e outrage
was committed by some person or persons, al

north Of the city limits, some time last week
A large and handsome cross, which was erected
in the Cemetery on the 18th Of last month, by
the members of the Hiberian Benevolent So

was done bv the Vandals engaged in this work
of discretion. We can scarcely believe tha
miscreants as vile as the perpetrators Of thu
above, are residents of this city or vicinity

law, and we hope the actors in this scandalou
affair may be brought to strict accountability

CHISAMEN GnISG HoME.-We learn from

the washing of the city. They have general,

HENRY CLAY.

This sterling statesman, orator and patriot, is
represented as rapidly wasting away into the
tomb A great star is about to set--the iamp
has burned down, until the oil of life is nearly
extinct But few faint glimmrrings of light
are now emitted from that venerable monume nj
- ee nations pride and glory.
The democratic press in the fullness and pu-
rity Of its great heart, has generously strewed
the path of the declining patriot with roses, thai
his passage to the spirit world may not be inter
rnpted by the inclement beatings of the storm OF
politics. Fo: this noble act Of Justice and phi
lanthropy, torrents of abuse are heaped upon
the press, by those who assume to be the minis
tering angels the dying patriot. Inconsistency
and corruption are charged upon it, because il
his earlier years he voluntarily entered the fiele
Of politics, became party to the fierce poltica
conflicts Of the times and dealt blows for blow:
in the various and we'll contested struggles fo
political supremacy. Is it for this, that mel
are to be deprived Of the privilege, of express
ing their vene ration for the man, who has file,
so large page in the political history of ou
country? Must they, to be consis ent, be crue
and vind;ctve Has the chamber of death n
power over the passions and the serenity of tn
grave, no pity TO exact, Indignation to allay an
errors to deplore Is politics so sweet and Jus
tice so terrible, that it must convert the sic
chamber into place of domestic quarrel an
rob humanity Of its immortality' Oh, sham
on such philanihropsts. Better far, would
be that these fool hardy friends. should neve
lisp the patriots name, than that the last ebbine
out Of life, should be distracted by the violenc
of passion, and his passage to the spirit world
interrupted by the fierce storms of partisan strife
We may remember and cherish the geniu
and nobility, which in life, adorned the charac
ter of this distinguished man, without abandon
ing our political faith, or affordng any JUS
ground for quarreling with our judgmen, an
condemnng our integrity.
Men are endowed with reason, as we'll as pas
sion and in the latitude given to both in fr,
country, it is not strange that there should b
wide differences Of opinion, and at times, bite
conflicts to maintain them. But it is The pal
Of discreet mind and generous heart, to bur
all differences and animosities in the grav.
which h olds no communion with life, and make
no fence for its inmate This is the simplc
act Of jns'ice to the dead, and we for one, hes
tate not to besfow It, at the risk Of being char.
