IT SHOULD NOT BE SO.- Steamboat Captains
should not be permitted to land sick persons at
our Levee just when they please. There should
be some ordinance enacted immediately regulating
this matter. The health of our city and the COM
fort of the invalid should be paramount to every
other consideration, and no one should be permit
ted to land until the authorities have given per-
mission. Every steamer which arrives is loaded
with passengers, and unless some such course is
adopted, we shall find when too late a contagiou.
disease depopulatins our city and driving emf
grants from us. We have case in point. The
person to whom we alluded in Yesterdays paper
as having symptoms of the Cholera, is contine j
with the Small Por. We make this announce
mcnt not to frightcn our citz but to put them
on their guard, ami to show the Ssity fOr some
law regulating The landing Of invalids. The at
tention of Geo. w. Harrington, Esl., was called
to the condition Of the sick man, and without
knowing the nature Of the disease, he placed him
in building in St. An,hony-st., and did what he
could to alleviate his suferings. Yesterday morn
ing he ordered shanty built for him away from
the city and engaged men to take care Of him.
We have thus been minute in these particulars
lest the matter should become greatly exaggerated
and an unnecessary excitement created. Give US
some law regulating the landing of invalids.

HOW IT WORKS.

But short time since Senator Sumner was
threatened with personal violence because he SYM
pathized with what are termed the Abolitionists
of the North and the unfortunate Slave Burns.
1t was only few days ago that we copied par
agraph from Southern paper wher in the editor
exulted over the death of Yankee School masters,
and talked deliberately about killing them as
the reptiles that infest swamps. Now, the la
test dispatch saws that Richard Ii. Dana, one of
the Counsel for Anthony Burns, was knocked
down in the streets of Boston, on the % Of June.

We were told that the repeal of the Missouri
Compromise would work beautifully. We have
not been disappointed. g Let the people rule,''
was the cry of the friends of the Nebraska Bill

agitation the subject of Slavery will be forever
set at rest. The Nebraska Bill was to be the

North and South. Has it fulfilled its mission p

Comment is unnecessary. The Judge continu-

s'Let that principle be carried into your cleo

The principle riu be carried into our elections

THE EASTERN WAR,

We announced the fact in Yesterdays issue,
that the Crimea Expedition had landed at Sebas-
topol without opposition. This is somewhat sim
gular, for it gives the Allies almost complete
command the Russian commerce., and of all
things this most to be dreaded by Russia
Why the Russians made opposition is certainly
remarkable. 1t must be, that Nicholas intends to
centre his forces within few miles about MIN
and there give fight to the enemy or he is either
incapable Of percciviug the havoc the Allied fleet
will make, by their late movement. Having
made the landing, Sebastopo must fall and the
Russian fleet must be conquered and then gene
raj march will be made for the Russian strong
holds. The Allies, once master Of the Russian
commerce, can soon bring the war to q Close
Til: only resort for the Gar, us we can see, is
the burning of the cities, and this would be fool
ish, for such would inevitably bring star
walton upon the inhabitants. We think the war
is more likely to be brought to close now, than
ut any other period during its existence. Certain
it is, cr:s.s has ariscn, and this crisis must be
met. Either Russia must come to terms Or she
must exhibit her strength on the field Of battle,
and one decided blow will decide forever her pow
or and her grcatnc S.

DETROIT TRIB. OFFICE, Oct. y.
The F.. X. Collins, from the Sault for Cleve-
land left this city last night between 10 and IL
o'clock. About midnight the boat was discover
ed to be on fire, little below the Lighthouse at
Maiden and near the mouth of the river. Before
the boat could be got ashore she was completely
enveloped in flames, and % persons persisted,
either in the flames or the water.
The Collins took fire on her boiler deck, and
so rapid WAS the speed of the flames that the pas
sengers and crew, who had mostly retired were
unable to save anything except few articles Of
clothing. She took FIRE in the Bay, about quar-
ter of mile below Maiden, and nearly abreast
of the Light House. She was Immediately head
ed for shore, but was unable to reach shallow
water before the flames had complete possession
of her.
The after part of the boat swung around into
the river, and nearly all on board were drawn to
that part of the boat and were obliged to jump
into the river. The current here sets out very
strongly into the lake. and had it not been for the
timely arrival of the Propeller Fintry, Capt. Lang
ley, nearly all would have been inevitably
drowned.
GY Among the loss by the burning of the
steamer Collins, it is reported, were the wife and
child of Maj. j. S. Watrous formerly Chippewa
agent in Minnesota.
