Col. THOMAS RUFFIN. On Wednesday last, this
gentleman addressed the Democracy of Edgecom5e
Sparta, in very striking and appropriate speech.
We understand he placed himself boldly the old
Democratic platform, and very properly repudiared
all the new-ght progressive principles which ambi
tous disorganzers attempting to graft thereon.
Clearly expounding the Democratic creed, the Ba nix,
the Tariff. the Land question, (;he good old doc
trne,) Internal Improvement, Intervention &C., he
took the manly position that of the petty ques
tons, advocated and fused by crossroads
statesmen and would be-ruling cliques, should re-
ceve from him any encouragement whatsoever. AS
the candidate of tie party, regard for its permanent
and lasting success demanded of him absolute
encouragement of every thing of the kind No par
y could succeed, clogged by the nnumeiable little
questions, which would surely be raised, were they
permitted influence rule the party in the slight

THE EXPLOSION OF THE STEAMBAr WAYNE
Newbern, N: q. papers gives the following particu-
lars OF the loss oil This steamer. She lay al the mouth
OF Lower Broad Creek, about forty Iniles below New
bern /; bound to Bay river, for the purpose of
bringing up timber, and having anchored, the crew
were in the act, Sunday morning about o'clock,
of hauling up the anchor, preparatory TO pursuing
their COURSE when the explosion of the boiler took
place.
The steam and water forced their way towards the
forward part of the boat throwing into the river all
who stood within their reach. Four Of those who
were on the bow, engae ed at the anchor, lost their
lives, either from the effects of the sean by be-
ing drowned after falling into the water. Three named
Charles, Adam, and Emanuel, slaves, belonged TO
John Blackwell, Esq, and the other, Bill, to J. NJ
Roberts, Esq. Two others, Oliver and Sam, the
property of Mr.. Blackwell, and the other Mrs.
Eliza Veil, escaped death by drowning, only by time
y efforts of Mr.. Ossian Hanks and Mr.. Robin, Cap
tain Of The steamer. They drawn out of the
water badly scalded.
The boiler from the reaction thrown with ire
mend force through The whole length of the boat
crushing everything TO atoms, that opposed its pro-
gress. The cook, woman, named Patience, the
property of Mr.. ]. L. Durand, was lying asleep on
the floor of the ladies' cabin, and has been seen
heard of since. AS the boiler passed through the
cabin, she must have been killed by its force, and
then carried along with 1t in the iver at the stern of
the Boat.
Mr.. Hanks and Mr.. Rohm were in the cabin, also
asleep al the time of the explosion. Mr.. Hanks
cupied berth side, and Rohm the other
side of the cabin, Immediately opposite each other.
Their escape really prcvidentia. the boilers
passed in few inches of them. On being aroused
by the pouring in upon them of the waeI, they mue-
daley rushed up the stairs to the upper deck, and
thence to the forward part IF the boat, where they
succeeded. We have stated, in rescuing Of the
negroes FROM watery grave.
This accident, assured, is not owing to any
| fault negligence. w hat the real cause, has
| not yet been ascertained. II is presumed to be
some defect in the boiler. The loss accruing must
be considerable. The boat is greatly shattered, and
| now lies sunk in water, from eight to twelve feet
deep,as lar the heel which in the stem, would
permit.

Forgery TriaI-Erciting Scene.

CINCINNATI, July LIST. In Court to-day, during
the trial of kissane and Fndlay for forgery, Vim.
IL. Johnston called witness for the defence.
He called upon kissane yesterday and told him he
the mistake made by the witnesses for The
prosecution. Previously, he had no; seen Kssane
for time. but, reading the report in the pap
ers the idea occurred him of taking the stand and
proving an alibi. Johnson was formerly OF the firm
OF Lot, Pugh & Co., for whom Kissane was con-
fdental clerk. After Johnson had testified, the
Prosecuting Attorney handed him forged check,
drawn by kissane in December last, and also giving
him of the forged checks. job son said he knew
kissane's handwriting well as his own. He then
compared the checks, and he did so an expression
Of terror came upon his countenance and with a
vulsIVe movement he threw both checks upon the
able, exclamng. f" That check is in kinsane's hand
writing-greal God =! Johnson then fell back with
conTulsve expression, and assisted to chair.
The effect was stunning upon the judge, jurors law
yers and spectators.
