him TO love his enemies; for Benton has mol

iessened the violence and malgnity of his hu-

Dreadful Explosion and Loss Of Life

We are called on to record most terrible CA
tastrophc-the explosion of tbs steamer Glen
coe, and the destruction of large number of
human beincs--it cannot be ascertainod how
many, The history of this dreadful event, as
we'll as we could ascertain il during the prevail
ing intense excitement, is about rs follows:
The steamer Glencoe had just arrived, on
Saturday evening, between seven and eight
o'clock, from New Orleans, heavily laden, and
was cndeavoring to effect landing between
Pins and Chestnut streets.
The steamers Aleok Scott, Georgia, Cataract
and Western World were lying, one beside the
other, at that point, and the Glencoe was at
tempting an entrance between the Cataract and
Georgia. She lay with her bows little above
the stern Of the Georgia, when two or more O
her boilers exploded spreading death and dc.
sssssSsiSss .a every a..gSet.sss about her
From young gentleman, who, during thu
upward trip of the Glencoe, acted as her as sis
tant clerk, we learn that she carried eighty dccl
passengers, more or less, and from twenty 4
| twenty-five cabin passengers.
| We give the names of both cabin and decl
passengers in another place. The boat hat
touched at several adjacent steamers sufficient,
long time to allow many persons from shore {
board her, swelling her numbers considerably.
u The explosion was, as owe have intimated
tremendous one. The entire upper works O
| the Glencoe, forward ofthe pilOt house--un(oI
tunatey the part where the maiorityof passef
gers had gathered TO witness the landing--,wer
Itorn away. Chimncys, DO Hers, timbers an
freight were scattered about with many hluIna
beings in every direction.

The Railroad bills have been in allegiance for
some days. Those which have passed the Sem
ate are lying on the Speakers table Of the House.
There are other bills yet pending in the Senate.
Bills for grants of land TO about fifteen roads
have received the favorable action Of House Com
mttee of Public Lands, and have been, or soon
will be, reported. Within few days, propo-
sitions of compromise between the Old and New
States, GA this Land question, have been agta-
ted, and it is possible that somthing may grow
out Of it. The most acceptable plan seems 10
be one which selects and grants land, to the
most meritorious of the many Railroad projects
say the number reported upon favorably by
Committee Of Public Lands in the House
Grants having thus been made for the benefit Of
the companies probably absorbing ten millions
of acres )it is proposed, as sop for the old States
to distribute among all the SAFES, say 100000
acres Of land for each Representative in Con-
grcss-the proceeds 10 be applied to schools and
for the Insane and Blind. The old States are
not to make selections of lands at all, bat are
TO receive, in lieu thereof, Land Scrip say for
l60 acres, which they may dispose Of in such
manner as they please. When assigned 10 in
dividuals, they may locate it wherever it suits
them. The effect of this plan is to give the
land States a b.nuS of all The lands granted for
the benefit of Railroads. 1t will encourage emf.
grafton TO them, as the old States will be eager
TO sell the Land Scrip, even at low prices; and
the only injurious effect will be TO dcprcss The
value of land, by throwing immense quantitie.
of the Scrip into ma ket. But this will only
be temporary, and the increased emigration anc
settlement will add to the real wealth OF the State
Some compromise of this kind must be made
and as the lands hare 70 go, this seems an equi-
table distribution of them. The States intercs
ted in grants of land for Railroad purposes, ar,
in minority in the House and they have TO al
tentative but 10 make terms with those VIII,
oppose them. II the details can be properly ad
justed, bill may be brought forward mex
week.

A new engine has been built al New York,

Ericsson, the inventor Of the Ericsson propeller.

is intended for large sea steamer, in oouTse OF

cost over half million Of dollars. Men of cap
