Late from the Seat Of War.
We are indebted to Mr.. Houseworth, connected
with the Pioneer Office, who came passenger in the
War Eagle, for late papers. He informs us that
the steamer Nominee, on her upward trip on Wed
nesday morning last, struck a snag near place
called Warmers, and sunk. She had on board
200 passengers, who were taken of by the War
Eagle. Two horses were acknowledgements
and baggage saved. Mr.. II. could not say in how
many feet of water she lay, but he thought in
from twelve to fifteen. We regret to record this
sad accident to the favorite steamer Nominee.
The War Eagle, at O'Clock yesterday after
noon, lay at Pigs Eye, unable to get over. She
left Galena with 600 passengers and took 200 from
the Nominee, making total, 800. From to 600
are still on board. Hole-in-the-Day, the Chippe-
wa Chief, and Argonup, chief of one of the Lake
tribes, are among the passengers, ON their way
from the late treaty at Superior.

wind. 1t was supposed at first that the Arctic had
sustained little injury. Assistance was immedi-
ately rendered to the Propeller, which was fright
fully injured but it was soon discovered that
the Arctic was leaking fast and the water gain
ed so rapidly that the fires were soon extinguish-
ed. Every effort was tried to save those on the
Arctic ; but four or FIVE boats had left to rem
der assistance to the Propeller, and there was
only one left, which was soon filed and raft
was hastily constructed. panic took posses
sion of those on board the Arctic, and they
crowded to the after part of the boat. A num-
Der reached the raft while others were drowned
in the attempt. All this time the vessel was filing

There is nothing of pIrtic llar interest from the
seat of War. Every thing connected with the Sc

Allies. The actual landing took place 80 miles
south of Sebastopol. The Allies marched to the
latter placs on the tenth. A general engagement
was expected before Sebastopol on the Goth. TIL,
Tartar population of Crimea sympathise with the
expedition. Menzchoff marched to Buslaka, on
the river Alma, and there gave battle to the AL

The game of biting ones nose of, is expensive
amusement. The Railroad Record, in speaking Of
the Erie railroad troubles, says:
The citizens of Erie begin to find that it is some
what expensive to play railroad games as they have
done q few years since. We made inquiries as to
this especial fact, and found that the citizens had
taxed themselves Ii mills ON the dollar, for two
years, to meet the expenses already incurred
| Rather extensive luxury, this.
