We neglected TO notice the burning of the
Swayze last week, although we had then learned
none of the particulars.
The facts seem to be mainly as follows:
When opposite the upper part of the city of
New Orleans-or Lafayette-as she was running
into port, the Swayze, commanded by Captain
Owen, was discovered to be on fire on her star
board side, near the boilers. She was running
in company with the steamer Rockaway 'sThe
alarm of fire was Immediately given, says the
N. o. Picayune, and Mr.. Oldham the pilot.
with much presence OF mind, directed her course
to Gretna, when the tller ropes gave way,
he could do no more, and was compelled TO Jump
overheard to save his own life" The Rocka-
way stopped, lowered her yawl, and took off
some of the passengers. The Swayze struck the
New Orleans dock, giving the passengers (some
twenty-five IN number) an opportunity to get
on shore. 1t is supposed that few lives were
lost. After leaving shore, the burning wreck
hoated down among the steamers and other YES
sells along the wharf, setting several on fire, bat
fortunately little damage was sustained by the
vessels that she came in contact with. excepting
the 81. Charles, which was set on fire and dam
aged to the amount of several thousand dollars.
Fhe John Swayze was loeded, principally,
with cotton from this place She had on board
when burned, ,669 bales. most of which was
insured. The boat was insured for $4,000

Only two of the passengers saved their baggage.
One OF them lost trunk containing Sl.I95.

The death Shade slowly had past; and now,
Wien the land and his fond loved home,
They had gathered around him TO see him die.

Where the billowy shrOud will roll DER me,
And no lights can break through The dark cold
wave,
And no sunbeam can rest on my grave.

But grant NE, o, grant this prayer unit. me-

And the free wild winds and the song Of birds.

And the scenes Of my home in childhood hOurss
I've eveI hoped to be laid when I died,
In the huIch-yard, then on the green h:ll side,
BY The bones Of my Fa,her, my grave should be,

Movements OF the wings.

We see that the Wings are seriously contem-
plating giving US battle next November. The
bugle blasts have been sounded, and the clans
men are to meet in counsel The time for the
meeting Of their Convention is not definitely
settled, but they are determined to have one, and
20 select theirstandard-bearers This done, great
efforts will be made, and every means resoried
to, fair or foul, TO secure victory. The tails
manic word Union, can no longer be used as
their battle-cry, and something else must be
trumped up to answer their purpose 1t may
be that the payment of the Planters Bank
Bonds will be their catch word, Knowing as they
do, that many democrats are in favor of their
liquidation, and consequently, can be led eff to
the support Of their candidates, but in this they
will find themselves much mistaken No good
democrat will leave his party upon a side issue
The Union Bank Bonds have been so decidedly
repudated by the people, that the Whig party
would hardly have the temerity to use the ques-
lion of the payment Of them as a hobby to ride
into power They can have no hope of success
in contest of principle, and they must have
some clap-trap, or they can scarcely make de-
cent demonstration. What ii will be, we are
unable 10 divine. The unconquerable spirit they
display should teach us lesson. All schsms
or causes of discord in our ranks having passed
away, we should stand firmly uniled, and pre-
sent an unbroken front, and their assaults will
be as vain and futile as the lashing of the sea
foam against the impregnible rock. When our
convention meets, spirit Of harmony will, no
doubt characterize its proceedings, and when the
nominations made, all will unite heart and
hand in their support II this be done, we need
ave no fears of defeat The Democrat tic majority
n Mississippi has been gradually on the in
crease for the last ten or twelve years, and will
continue until whiggery is entirely extinct
Even now many of the whig party are in favor
of assuming new name, and we think that one
more defeat, such as they sustained last fall, will
make this idea very popular with the party. But
they may Proteus-like assume as many forms OF
names as they please, yet the cloven foot will
be seen, and an intelligent and enlightened peo-
pie will never again place them in power
