In the following passage of the message, the
President is supposed to point to some OBJ
noxous person. and not merely to indulge in
general remark Speaking Of 'scrusades'
against governments with whom we are at peace,
he says:
Such expeditions, however, are often slim
ulated by mcrcenary indipidaats, who expect
to ashre the plumber or profit of the enterprise,
with out exposing themselves TO danger; and
are led on by some irresponsible foreigner, who
abuses the hospitality of our own government,
by seducing the young and ignorant TO join the
scheme of personal ambition or revenge, under
the false aud delusive pretence Of extending
the area offreedom.
Who is the irresponsible foreigner? The N
Y. Times, says it is kossuh. The San says
it is Lopez The Cleveland Plaindealer leads
off on a different scent, aud says that the Pres
dent IS -'terrlbly severe on Geo. Law, the
irrs.ponsible foreigner who is charged with
DESIGNS on Cuba for the sake of pIunder
Assuming 1t to BE- Kossuth and his compan-
ions, The Saragoto Wig says:
But we cannot think he President meant
to cast a >lur upon these noble and distinguished
men, for this could not be done without attack
inr the congress which sent a national snip
to bring the eloquent Hungarian from his Asiat
&c prispn-wlthout insulting the memory of
Daniel Webster, whose thrilling speech AT the
Kossuth banquet will BIZ remembered-and
without hcaping contempt upon he great and
lowiv, through the land, who made his tour
procession. But though evidently
not intended for him, we regret that the Presi-
dent should have felt the necessity for using the
remark, for it will be quoted in Europe to crush
aud to aid the designs Of an unsparing despot-
ism.

CHOOSING A WIFE.

1t shows the want lofty spirit to choose
wife chiefly from considerations of property
But this is frequently done by those who hold
their heads high in society, and look above their
less opulent neighbors, who have too much spirit
and too much honor to marry from such meroe
nary motives. Such connection must neces
sarily be state Of dependence, and can confer
no real merit to the man who s.oopsto it. But
the dishonor would be much crater, and render
one liable to the charge of positive immortality,
WHO would make shipwreck of the plighted atfec
tons of virtunus woman to become afianced
to one of wealth, even if possessed of many
amiable attributes.
When woman bestows on you her best fec
tons, and leans on you for support, you must
be destitute alike of feeling and principle to de-
sert her for wealth or fame. You have her love
and confidence, and can you betray and forsake
her especly when it is recollec,ed that your
assiduities and your vows have produced her al.
tatchment. You may meet another of equal ele
gance, and more beauty and wealth but this is
no excuse for violating tn, most sacred en- gage
ment, aud it would be no greater crime in the
sight Of heaven, to thrust poinard in her bosom
than 10 wound her spirit By dasertipn

Steamer Western World
Lost.
EIGHTEEN LIVES LOST!

In our issue yesterday morning, we gave the
announcement of this fearful accident, with such
particulars as the Telegraph placed us in pos.
session of. We are now enabled to give furth
err account of the affair, from information receiv
ed of Mr.. Fulton, First Clerk, and, at the time
Of the accident, acting captain of the boat. Mr.
F., together with the other officers of the boat
and number of the passengers came up on the
Lady Pike from Cairo, where they were landed
by the r. H. w. Hill.
The accident as before stated, occurred on the
morning of the 18th inst, about A o'clock, while
the Western World was descending the river,
at Princeton Bar about one hundred miles above
Vicksburg. The night was very dark, but clear
of fog, and as the boasts came in sight of each
other, signals were misunderstood, and both
boats being under full Roadway, it was found
imp ssible to steer clear of each oher, after IL e
dang r became manifest The Hill struck the
Western World on the larbnard side immediate
Iy forward of the boilers, crushing in her hull to
such an extent that the rush of water caused
her to careen, fill and caps re / about twenty
minutes after the collision.
There were Oh board at the time Of the acct.
dent thirty four cabin and fifty six deck pass
engers. All the cabin passengers were saved
but, stated in our river news column, four
teen of the deck passengers and enc OF the hands
were lost.
Those who were saved, were taken from the
wreck by the II. r w Hill, which immediate
" after the collision, came alongside.
With the exception of one CABIN passenger,
who savad his trunk by selzng it and carrying
it off the wreck, no board saved any of
their baggage, and most Of them had barely time
to escape in their night clothes TIE clerk en-
dzavored to get out the books from the office,
but only succeeded in saving two or three of
them, including the cabin rcglser and the
freight book.
There were on board eighty-thre head of
cattle. nearly all of which were drowned
The sife contained about $4,000 on the boat
The boat was valued a, 1924 900, and setting
down The value of the freight at $4,000, (and
we presume this is quite low enough) the total
loss will reach $73 600, exclusive of the freight
list.
We have not been able TO ascertain the exact
amounr of insurance on the cargo. The loss on
the boat is divided between the Union and CT
teens Insurance companies and the franklin
and Charleston agencies.-[St Louis Repub
