STEAMBOAT CALAMITIEs.- The ST. Lou
is Republican states that from the lst Of
January last to the evening of the 4th of
February, thirty-eight steamboats, have
been badly damaged or totally destroyed
on western rivers. Eleven have been con-
sumed by fire (allowing seven to have
been burnt at New Orleans, thirte n
have sunk and will be totally lost, and
fourteen have been badly damaged by
snagging and other accidents. Besides
the steamboats, destroyed. there have been
one hundred and fifty coal boats and bar.
ges sunk on the Ohio and Mississippi riv-
ers. The loss of property has been i'm
mense; it has been estimated at various
sums, from one to two millions of dollars.
There has also been large number of
lives lost, but the exact number cannot
now, and probably never will, be correct
y ascertained. Should the coming months
of this year prove as disastrous to river
crafts as January and a part of February,
we shall not have a steam or fiat boat on
