Loss OF LIFE-The Madona at our wharf
Monday night, brought the news of the sink
ing of two boats laden with coal, by the
steamer Empress. The Empress was at
Evansville Sunday afternoon. Sunday night
was very dark. AS the Empress was in the
bend just below Troy, she ran into two coal
boats, and sunk them Immediately. 1t is re-
ported that some seven or eight persons were
drowned, hands on the coal boats.
Since writing the above, we have received
additional particulars from Mr.. Scott Long,
OF Cannelton, who had pair of coal boats
in company with those lost. He says the
disaster occurred in heavy squall-the night
was very dirk. He attaches no blame to
the Empress, as the light on the boats could
not be seen twenty yards distGn mt. Only three
person swere drowned: Geo. Vannisse. pilot
of Caseyville; w. Knox, hand; John MELONS
hand. The boats were laden with coal from
Hawesville.

Our Canal.

The people Of Evansville have been liv-
ing in GLORIOUS anticipation" for the last
dozen years of enjoying lucrative business
connection with the interior of Indiana,
through the medium Of the Wabash and Erie
Canal The great work was declared COM
pleted some two months since, done, did i'm
fshed. Our citizens were thought tardy in
erecting suitable warehouses to accommodate
the immense freight that would be poured in
upon us, at the opening of tire longest Canal
in the world, running through the richest
country in the Universe.
One slight break after another occurred 10
prevent the realization of their long deferred
hopes, yet the water, the boats and the ireight
were daily expected to arrive. The suPerin'
tendents were busily engaged '.puddf'n9 the
banks, trying hard to overcome obstacles
which Nature had thrown in the way, and
make the Canal stand where it had stubbornly
refused to for twelve years past. From the
description given of the geological forma-
ton of the bluffs" it would appear that the
ORIGINAL location of the Canal was not judi
ciously made, as it has at all times resisted
all efforts to make its banks permanent.
Several breaks occurred on Sunday last,
extending along the line for three miles at
different points, some of which are Of Sc
rious nature, and will take a long time to re-
pair and put in condition for successful navi-
CATION. All we have to do in the mean time,
is to live on in the same "glorions anticipa-
ton" and await the "good time coming"
1t is confidently asserted, however, that
the breaks can all be repaired in less than
month-but whether the banks will then
stand or not, sis not known as far as heard

AHydra.hcadcd Executive. &C.

The Princeton Clarion says the Wing
press is pouring on the heads of the Execu-
tive TRADE of malignant abuse and scurril-
Gus ridicule, disgusting in the extreme."-
How many heads does the present Executive,
Mr.. Pierce, possess! The Democratic press
has tried to make him out an extraordinary
man, but we never before saw an editor who
had the impotence to speak of Mr.. Pierce
as man with more than one head. We
suppose il is meant he has Free Soil head
Secessionist head, and an ordinary Locofoco
head-and altogether they don't make much
of head at last. But the Clarion says fur
ther: avery act OF the administration, good
or bad, is dragged forth and held up as marks
upon which to spend their pointless satire
and contemplate ridicule. An indiscrim-
nate and wholesale attack is made upon eve-
ry measure of the Executive, not one of
which bears upon its face even the shadow OF
FEASIBILITY"
80 not "measure Of the Executive"
"bears uponits face even the shadow of plausi-
bility." So reads the text. A very material
confession upon immaterial matters. But
pray what acts or measures has the "Execu
tive" performed or given to the world
that Wing editors could make a subject o
attack or ridicule! The editors have onl,
sympathized with Democratic Office seekers
who are pushed aside to make room for inter
lopers in their party. There have been M
measures to censure or approve. Really, w
think our little friend Of the Clarion is tryin
TO raise storm with pair of bellows. III
seems troubled with some horrible night
mare, that has no reality, about the WIFI
press. We think our brother editors are pas
sively cool. They have but very little to sa
about the 7 resident, and in fact occupying tn
negative position he does on pretty much a
subjects, he does not appear a very prope
object for abuse or ridicule. When he dot
anything, il will be time for comment fror
the Wing press.

A SoN KILLED BY HIS FArHER.-The Gin

Author or Railroads.

The Railroad Journal, traces the author
ship of the first Railroad, to Thomas Gray, OF
Leeds, England. He was born in Leeds
about half century ago, and nothing further
is known of his history exceprhis subsequent
connection with the developement OF the
railway principle.
The Middleton Colliery had railway 10
carry caol to Leeds, u distance OF three mics
The cars moved along at. the rate oil ''ree
miles and n half per hour.
This new invention, like Fulton eA per-
ments with his Steamboat, was laushea d.
not by Gray, but by the wise pubic. "ray

idea by the taunts and jeers OF untainking
men.
us saw in his little work something that
might be augmented into greatness; he
Thought upon the subject, talked and wrote
upon his project of"A General Iron Rail-
way;n and the people declared him insane.
Not discouraged, he petitioned Parliament,
sought interviews with the Lords and other
great men, and thus became the laughing
stock of all England. He received nothing
but rebuffs wherever he went. All this took
place inSlS2O or whereabouts.
Mr.. Gray, like Columbus and Fulton,
succeeded at last, and the world has been
benefited by his madness. The present gen.
Grafton has allowed Thomas Gray to sink in
to obscurity. The Journal has the following
in relation to his lateral history:
Well what became of him! the reader will
ask. We do not know; but we believe he
still lives in Exter, to which place he removed.
Up to 1916 he has been neglected. While
thousands have been enriched by the consum-
nation of his brilliant scheme, he remained
forgotten-forced by poverty to sell glass on
commission for living. Hewitt, in the peo-
pies Journal, few years ago, gave a some
what lengthy sketch of his career, thus bring
ing him to the public notice. We have seen
nothing in print in relation to him lately.
Elliott wrote great truth in these words:
show many men who have lived to bless
mankind, have died unthanked."
How many of the railway projectors, agita-
tors, stockholders, &C., have ever heard Of the
subject of this brief sketch!
