STEAMSHIP UNITED SrArEs-We exceedingly
regret that a press of other engagements pre-
vented us from complying with the kind invita-
ton Of the captain of the noble steamship United
States to dine on board that vessel on Thursday
afternoon We regret this from many consd-
erations, not the least important of which is the
fact-,judging from the tone Of our cotempora-
ries-that the dinner was splendid affair, and
most Hospitality dispensed by her worthy COM
mander, Capt. Berry.
Our contemporaries, generally, and large
number Of other invited guests, including mer-
chants, professional characters, etc., were more
fortunate than ourselves. The company pres
ent numbered in the neighborhood of one hun
dred, and the table, we understand, was loaded
with the delicacies of the season.
The United States is q vessel of fifteen hun
bred tons, the largest belonging to this port
She runs between this city and Aspinwall, and
connects with the steamship Winfield Scott. If

She is substantially built, well fitted, and ele-
gantly found for passengers; and in point of
speed and accommodations has no superior in
the Gulf. Capt. Berry, her commander, enjoys
a deservedly high reputation for skill and pru-
dence, and his noble vessel, we are pleased to
see. receives full share of public patronage.
The United States leaves for Aspinwall at
o'clock this morning, with large number of
passengers. She will remain in the present
trade throughout the season, and will convey
passengers bound to the Gold Regions as far as
Aspinwall. in as much safety, and as short
space of time, as any steamer aHoat

The Loss OF THE INDEPENDEycE.-A mar;
time correspondent Of the NewYork Tribune
writes severe communication with regard n
the loss of the Independence, of which the edito,
says
The writer speaks from his own KNOWLEDGE NJ

for river navigation, but was notoriousIy unsea.
worthy, and unfit to carry passengers on that
coast ana her captain did not dare to run her
out oil reach OF the land, for fear some accident
might sink her, with all op board; and it was
the necessity of keeping near enough to the
shore to be able to beach her that ran her upon
the reel which resulted in her destruction. Had
sne been craft tit to put to sea in, Captain
Sampson would have followed the ordinary track
with safety; but knowing that every arrival in
port was miracle, ON whose repetition he could
not rely, he took the course which, in case of
disaster, would be likely to kill the smallest
NUMBER OF people. The result was the death of
a third OF those on board.
The inference from these facts is Irresistible
and We make it-without circumlocution. II Is
that the parties who employed the Independence
Tor route they knew her to be totally and PAL
Pably unht for, and who crowded her, frail and
mehacing as she was, with five hundred souls.
are morally responsible for the deaths which
have occurred. We do not know who those par
ties are--whether the peoprietors of the Van
derplit line, IN connection with which she was
running, or persons of less prominence and
power but whoever they are, we say-and pub
lie opinion will concur in the verdict-that IL
would be difficult for reckless cupidity to cover
itself with blacker guilt than theirs.
There Is nothing new in denouncing this Van
derbilt line, as being most atrociously regard
less OF the lives and comforts of those who trust
to its vessels. Indignant passengers have writ
ten volumes Of complaints about these steamers
and their management, but nobody takes any
notice Of the history of wrong which every one
can read. The next craft which leaves this side
to connect with some of the baskets which tray-
erse the Pacific, will be crowded as full of pas.

VINO were lost with her had never been heard of.

THE SEMINoLEs IN FLORIDA. The Tallahassee

From the East we learn that Colonel Winder
mas been relieved in command of the United
States troops in Florida, and left for Wash;ng-

by compulsion, and would have large force Of

that purpose. It will be an interesting but RI !.

The Florida Mirror says:
We came through in the stage with Colonel
Winder OF the United States Army, commander
at Fort Myer. He says the delegation which
went on to Washington left most of their pre-
sents at FoSt Myer on their return, and have
since declined receiving them, as they failed to
comply with their promises of emigration. He
says, also, by careful estimate made by John
Jumper, one of the Western delegation, that
there are only 2SS Indians remaining in Flo
rida, and only So Of these men and boys able to
bear arms. We understand that it is the deter.
mination of the General Government to have
the country surveyed, at least into townships.
which will facilitate the search for the Indians.
Whenever the attempt is made to hunt them out.
Gen. Child, commanding at Tampa, informed
the citizens at the urt-house, that the Indians
are again coming in at Fort Myer, and though
main at peace. Assinwah, snb-chief, was in
at the post, and said Billy Bowlegs had not been

SINGULAR CASE OF SuIcIDE.--Jacob Cole, of
this village, committed suicide on Tuesday af-
ternoon last, by blowing out his brains with a
gun. 1t is generally the case when a person
commits an act of so rash nature, that thew
share largely in the sympathy of the public !;
but in this case it was quite to the contrary, it
being almost impossible, from the nature of the
circumstances connected with his death. TO Sc
cure the assistance of men enough to consign
his remains to the grave The causes which in
duced him to the sacrifice of his own life were
as follows: On Saturday last a Young girl
who had been living in his family for some time
past, appeared before Justice Terwilliger, of
this village, and preferred q charge Of rape
against him, upon which he was arrested and
held to bail for his appearance at court in the
sum of 81 900. The Circuit Court in and for
Ulster county being in session this week at
Kingston, he was in expectation of being called
by his counsel, at every moment, to appear i'm
mediately before the Grand Jury, to answer to
the charge preferred against him. 1t seems his
counsel was about making q settlement of the
affair with the father of the girl, and wishing
to consult Cole in regard to the matter, tele-
graphed him to come down Immediately, not
stating any particulars. Cole mistook the sum
mons to be for his appearance before the court,
and rather than appear before the legal tribunal
he put an end to his existence. His age was II
years Coroner Merclean held an ino9est upon
the body, and the verdict of the jury was, that
60 he came to his death by deliberately shooting
himself with gum" [Saugerties New York;

Fatal AccIDENT.-The 0wego On " Gazette
o. the list ult. says; "Mr. Albert Collins, of
hoe in his hand, on Monday last, stumbled and
fell upon the top of the hoe handle, which en-
tered his abdomen, through pants, drawers, etc,
and passed up through his bowels into his
stomach. He expired on Tuesday morning,
leaving an affectionate family tomourn his un-
timely death.
We learn from the Nashville Gazette that the
house of Mr.. W. J. Wagner, on White Creek,
about seven miles from Nashville, was destroyed
by fire on the night Of the 26th ult., whilst the
family were asleep Mr.. Wagner escaped with
his wife and two children, but the three Oldest
children were all consumed. Mr.. and Mrs, w,
were badly burned in their efforts to save their
children.
The murder Of oseph Rink, in Chestnut street,
has been clearly fixed upon Arthur Spring, and
the grand jury has made presentment to that
effect, and ignored the bill against Jerome
Feckett, who stood charged with the offence.
It is said that Spring will be tried for the muir
der merely to establish the fact Of his guilt Of
that crime also.
