Another Teegraphc despatch from New Orleans gives
further particulars of the burning of the steamer
Independence while her way to San Francisco. The
despatch says
The steamer Independence was lost on the 10th Of
February, having been ashore the shoals off Mar
gareta Island upon the Of Lower California There
five hundred passengers board the time all of
whom eaped into the and of whom hundred and
fifty to two hundred lost in their efforts to swim
ashore
After striking the Independence backed off but find
ing eight feet water in the hold Capt Samson ordered
the pilot to her the beach, three hundred yards
from the main land There the ship took fire from the
intense heat of the furnace and the flames spreading ra
pidy, created the most fghtful CONSERVATION among
the passengers A heavy was running at the time
and all the boats swamped in trying to get ashore
To add to the horrors Of the scene the fire reached the
powder magazine which exploded with terrific force
SCATTERING the stern of the steamer into fragments and
blew many passengers into the air others jumped into
the and carried off by the strong sweep
ing from the shore.
Many who had previously reached the shore were I'M
able to render the sufferers any assistance and were
obliged to remain passive spectators while hundreds
Of men, women, and children were perishing by the
fire and sea. The ship finally swung around, with her
broadsde to the Shore where her coal took fire. and she
was entirely destroyed The passengers saved found
themselves a barren and unnhabited island without
food water, where they remained fty-sx hours in a
state Of intense suffering Finally, by firing cannon

lying in Magdalene Bay, few miles off, who came to
their assistance with provisions and in the end took
them off.

UISIANA SENATOR.
TO THE EDITORS.

NEW ORLEANS, APRIL 16, 1853.
The very cool attempt to settle the affair Of the Sena
torship between Messrs SouLE and SLIDELL does not
seem to meet with much favor in the eyes of the I'm
terrified Democracy" of this State Notwithstanding
the alleged wishes of these gentlemen, and if report
speaks true the President himself the Legislature which
strongly Democratic, disposed to settle the af
fair to suit its own fancies. The field is already occupi-
ed by numerous candidates besides Mr. Sde among the
most prominent Of whom are Messrs MILES TAYLOR,
SETH BARTON, Downs, Gov. HEBERT, and WIcKLIFFE OF
all these gentlemen the who has the least chance of
success is Mr.. Sldel himself He is by no means po-
pular man among the Democrats especially since GER
tain Pldqueme affair, and Mr. Soue has by no means
popularity enough himself to be able spare any for his
friends. The other gentlemen have each certain num-
Der of supporters but in all probability present Go
vernon Gov Hebert, win be next Senator. He
very popular man. and has the advantage of being the
seat of government and Of having all the influence which
Governor usually possesses besides the coope-
ration Of all those who expect rise should he leave his
present Office.

AZ to the lamentations it contained need only say
that they carry their evidence in themselves calculating
