BIGoTEr-Phillips, the Irish orator, in
one of his speeches, gives a most vivid per-
sonification of bigotry. 1t is as follows:
"Bigotry has no head, and cannot think :
she has no heat, and cannot feel; when
she moves it is in wrath when she pauses
it is amid ruin; her prayers are curses
her communion is death her vengeance is
eternity her decalogue is written in the
blood of her victim; if she stoops for a
moment from her Internal flight, it is upon
some kindred rock to wlnt her fang for
keener rapine, and replume her wing for a
more sanguinary desperation

The receipts for the last fiscal year amount
cd tc Sl.S06, ,S11-tha expenditures to ST.
029, ,341-making nett revenue of $S67,-

works is earnestly recommended.
The expenditures of the State left bal
ance in the Treasury on the 1st of Decem-
Der last, of S671, 600 The receipts for
the next year are estimated at S4,626, 500,
and the expenditures at Sl,O2S,670 The
population of the State is set down at o
311,786 persons.
The subject of slave-transit through Penn
sylvania is thus referred to by Governor
Biger:
Recent difficulties in neighboring
State have suggested the existence of de-
fciency in our State laws, in reference to
the Conveyance of persons held to involun-
tarv servitude. from one State to another
The Pennsylvania statute of 1880 gave all
persons passing through or sojourning in the
State for brief period the right to hold
their domestic slaves. The act of 1S47 re-
poaed this provision, and the repeating sec
tions of last session did not reinstate it
l, therefore, respectfully recommend that
provision be made for the transit Of these
domastics through the limits Of this com
monwealth. Such law seems to be con-
templated by the constitution Of the United
States, and to b suggested by those rules of
comfy which should exist between the States
by The public peace and by individual
convenience"

The following letter from Mr.. William
A. Rotan, of Columbia, Arkansas, gives
the particulars of the destruction of the
new steamer j. Wilson, Capt. John Rotan,
by the bursting of her boilers on the 9th
inst: Little Rock True Democrat.
CoLUNBFA, ARKANSAS,
January 9th, 1852.
The new steamer j. Wilson, as she was
leaving the landing at Columbia, on the 9Th
ms, bursted both her boilers, carrying of
the forecastle, and nearly cne-third of the
hurricane roof One of the boilers was
blown ashore. distance of more than fifty
yards. In its passage it struck the upper
story of the Phoenix Exchange Coffee House
belonging to Capt. Peter Rowlett which it
completely demolished. That part of the
building was used for gambling purposes,
and from which party Of gentlemen had
just retired
All of the stancheons of the ill-fated YES
sci, forward of the cook-house, were carried
of. which caused the social hall and the
forward part Of the gentlemen's cabin to
give way, precipitating all that were in that
part of the boat into the fire and steam be-
low.
The money chest, together with the books
and papers, were blown overheard and lost.
The wreck drifted about twelve miles, to
opposite the plantation of James B. Miles,
where she sank in about six fathoms water
The lie of Capt John Rotan, the command
er of the Wilson, was miraculously preserv-
i Al H.,
He is under the care Of skilful physician
who entertains strong hopes of his recovery.
Two of the engineers lost their lives
Mr. White, the head engineer, was not on
board at the time of the accident. The
number Of lives lost is supposed to be about
forty, though some of the survivors think
the number much larger, Many of the sur
vivors attach no blame to the officers Of the
boat-others say that Capt. Rotan had been
drinking all day, and was intoxicated at the
time of the accident. We shall know more
of the matter hereafter, as it will undergo
a legal investigation.
Mr.. Whitewall, of this county. who had
taken passage, lost his life. His remains
were brought ashore in shockingly manged
condition.
The J. Wilson was entirely new, built By
the enterprise of Capt. John Rotan and
j. NJ. Craig, of this county. She was built
expressly for the cotton trade, and cost the
enterprising builders $4,000. She was
insured in the Marine Fire Insurance Com
pany, Louisville. for $4,000; the loss to the
owners will consequently be $4,000.
The J. Wilson had Just taken aboard a
valuable lot Of freight, belonging TO Messrs.
A. Ii. Davis & johnson Capman. which they
will lose. WM. i. ROTAN.

conflicting views in regard to the starting
point and terminus of the road, and whether
the enterprise shall be committed to the
