STEAMBOATS, SUNK.-The steam
boat Sun, on her way down from Full
ton to New Orleans, with cargo of
seven hundred and seven bales of cot
ton, struck a stump at the foot of
Black Bayou, at 3o'clock in the after
noon of the 22st ultimo, and immcdia-
tely sunk, and now lies in such post
ion that no boat can either ascend Or
deccnd the bayou. Capt. Stockman,
of the Texas Ranger, went to her relief
and is rafting the cotton to Pine Island.
1t is thought that the Sun will be a
total loss, with the exception Of the
and furniture. The steam
boat Echo, Capt. Whitenhery, bound
from Port Caddo to New Orleans, with
a cargo Of eight hundred bales Of cot
ton and thirty passengers, on the Goth
ultimo, struck stump at the head Of
Prairie Lake and sunk. The cotton
will be saved, but it is thought that
the boat will prove total loss.-7ra>e

PUBLIC PLUMBER AT SAN FRANcIsco.-It is re-
ported that the emssaries ofthe sub-treasury law
are in hot pursuit Of two or three Of the late col
lectors and custodians Of the public funds at San
Francisco, for alleged defalcations. amounting in
all to half million of dollars, as far as yet
discovered. We should not be surprised if fur
Their explorations were to swell the amount to q
million or two. Mr.. Corwin, the late Secretary
Of the Treasury, according to all the develop
ments made Of the working of the department
machinery under his management, would have
required in another year or two from sixty to
scventy-five millions to pay expenses. If the
late splendid fiscal operations in the San Fran
cisco custom house are to be continued under
Mr. Guthrie, we would suggest that six or even
three, months are long enough for any one man
to hold that collcctorship. A hundred thou
sand, or even fifty thousand. dollars net profits
ought to be made to satisfy the most greedy
cormorant tor the spols. We do hope, there
fore, for the sake of fair play all round that the
term ofoffice in such fat places as the San Fran
cisco custom house, will be cut down to few
months, or that the perquisites and the
pickings thereof will be reduced, 80 as that
