Toting for the Dead-Romr OutdOne.

1t was reserved for the recent election to
exhibit new idea in the historical records of
mankind. It was thought that every posi-
BILE variety Of human conduct had been exhib-
tied. Solomon himself said that there was
nothing new. The rejection of the just and
great had been often done. Human malice
had done its utmost against human virtue
Athens had banished Aristides, and England
had beheaded Sydney. Nor was there any,
thing wanting TO human degradation. Rome
once made horse al Emperor But in A
merIca We have done something superior to
all this. We have proved that the United
States can Guido the world In anything, and
conceive ideas which before had no existence.
In the most intellectual city in the United
States-no less than the renowned city of
Boston-thousancs Of people vOted for q dead
man for President! They could not be igno-
rant he was dead. for they had seen him bu-
ried. They could not believe that election
would raise the dead, for the elections are
carried on according to the Constitution,
which contains no such power. In fine,
they evidently intended to give the world
new idea, and as Boston is the Athens of A
merIca % II was proper that Boston should
do what Athens was incapable of-go beyond
all ancient ideas Of either the sublime or the
ridiculous. Henceforth Boston stands alone
in this new idrality Of hero worship.
The dead have had monuments built 10
them, epitaphs written, eulOgies pronounced,
their ashes scattered IN vengeance, and their
names canonized in glory, but never before
have been voted for as President Of a Repub-
lie Gin. Alias.

correspondent Of the n. Y. Times, gives
the following paragraph concerning this edi-
tor recently garroted In Havana
Faecioio was only twenty-five years Of age.
HE met his fate with exemplary composure
and foTttude, although he had been kept near
ly three weeks in state Of dreadful suspense
as to his fate, in the hope to obtain confess
ions from him duplicating others but he de-
clared that he, and he alone, was the owner
of the secret press from which was published
the P0r del Pueblo, and that he himself was
the person who struck off the sheets of that
subverslve paper. He compromised no one,
and appeared to be perfectly resigned to his
fate. The English mulatto, Johnson, through
whose treaeherous villainy the unhappy man
was brought to the scafoId, was present at
the execution 1t is perfectly well known
that Facciolo only printed what others wrote
and furnished him. His noble conduct in re-
fuslng to inplicate his associates, is evidence
Of spirit deserving better fate.

A PROFITABLE BoAT.-We have heard it
said that the steamer Grand Turk. which left
yesterday on her forty third trip to New Or
leans, has cleared for her owners since she was
first brought out, over one hundred thousand
dollars. She has been one of the most sue
cessful boats ever run on the western waters.
During the first three years of her existence,
she never grounded, or had the slightest ac-
cIdent to happen, and IN three trips from this
city to New Orleans and back she cleared
over IS 900 a trip. Her owners FIVE or six
years since, were comparatively poor men,
but now they own the John Sinlonds and
Grand Turk, besides other steamboat stock
and real estate to considerable amount
The John Siraonds, the largest and most mag
nifcent steamer ever built on the western wa
tiers, cost nearly one hundred thousand doll
lars Both boats left port yesterday for New
OrIeans.-N. Louis Net0s.

nouaced the slave trade extinct, and the
laws sufficiently stringent to prevent its
revival. a Portuguese, named BCandao,

DREADFUL STEAMBOAT DIsAsrER.-On
the 18th inst, the steamer Buckeye Belle
burst her boiler near Beverly, on the
Muskingum river, Ohio. The boat was
torn to tatters.-There were about 40
passengers on board. No women were
injured, but some seventeen men were
killed, and eight or ten, including the
captain, badly injured. The accident
was owing to the carelessness of the en-
gIneer, who was among the killed. He
was standing on the safety valve at the
time OF the explosion. The following
paragraph from letter giving detailed
account of the accident viii give an idea
OF the force of the explosion:
The boilers were completely alown to
pieces. The largest piece (about one
half was thrown more than fifty wards
