DEATH OF A Son OF PATRICK HENRy.-
Captain A. s. Henry, long resident OF
Lynchburg, died in Charlotte county, on the
9th Instant. He was a son of the illustrious
Patrick Henry. and (says the Lynchburg
Virginian), thought not gifted with the g.
Mus of his sire, We have not unfrequenty lm-
agined that We detected in him unconquera-
BILE aversion to tyranny of every form, aud in
his intolerance of all abuse of powe r, some
thing of the spirit of him who was the first to
raise his voice against British oppression of
the American Colonies.

STEAMBOAT DIsAsTERs.-The steamboat
disasters for the commencement of the year
1854, have been unusually numerous on the
airy to the evening of February 4th, thirty
eight steamboats, have been badly damag ed or
totally destroyed. Eleven have been con-
srmed by fire, thirteen 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 between one hundred and fifty and two
hundred coal boats and baroes sunk on the
Ohio and Mississippi rivers.-The loss OF
property has been immense; it has been esti.
mated at various sums, from one TO two mil
lions OF dollars.-l Lou. Cour.

1t is now known that every member of the
Indiana delegation in the House of Repre-
sentatives will oppose the Infamous scheme
of MIR. Douglass to extend slavery over terri
tory now free, save and except one Miller,
surnamed Smith, from the Pocket.
Madison Cour.
If Smith Miller. the Representative of this
district, advocates and votes for the Douglass
bill, he signs his own political death warrant.
Let him do it-and if he do, let him at the
same time give up all hope of again repre-
sentng or disappearing in Congress, the
peoT lie of the Pocket OF Indiana. Mr. Miller
never could have been elected to Congress
from any other district in the State, and he
has got TO be very polite to secure re-eec-
ton from this. None of US feel particularly
battered by his representation as it is under
the best crcumstances-but he may SO
change those circumstances as TO make things
infinitely worse for himself.

DESPERATE LEAPs.-Hugh Sudden, the
pugiist, who, oil Friday, was placed by the
court in the hands of Sheriff Hetiieiinger, OF
Chester county, Pa, to be carried there to
answer to the charge of being engaged in a
pug:istic encounter in that county, made a
desperate attempt to escape On his way TO
Philadelphia. The sheriff had at his request
relieve ed one Of his hands of the handcuff, not
dream that he would attempt to move.
However, he watched his opportunity about
IL C'@lock at night when about five miles
from Philadelphia, and the cars going at the
rate of thirty miles an hour, and sprang from
the train. The sheriff followed Immediately
after, and being bat little hurt, he ordered
Sudden 20 stand or he would shoe. him.
Sudden yielded quietly, and thoulh he was
somewhat bruised, he walked with the sheriff
towards Philadelphia The train reached
Gray's Ferry, and the engine returned, the
engineer expecting to see both men dead,
but met them quietly walking along. They
were taken up and carried 10 the city. Stud
den, when asked why he yielded So quietly
remarked to the sheriff, that he thought If he
was fool enough to jump after him, he was
fool enough 10 shoot. The leaps were des-
perate and the wonder i both were not kill

DEATH OF BARNBuRNERIsM.-A a fear
!ul struggle for many years, barnburnerism
met its quietus in this State, at the pol S, at
about the hour of sunset day before yesterday.
1t had staked its existence as a State party on
its opposition to the Canals, and it has lost
all. 1t fought the Democratic party on its
question in the last Legislature with the ad-
roitness and the malice Of fiend We can.
not say "Peace to its ashes," for nobody
wishes it well. The only source Of life left
to it now is the patronage aud fostering care
Of the National Administration. When that
expires, the wretched faction will have per-
isht from the records of living men. Buried
in its own iniamy, i; will no IN ore disturb the
peace OF the Democracy.

Nor.A.rn Ven and Northern Dousn.

ss-4.Lf tru ao baces.
We repeat the remark TO which the En-
quirer objects, that "the Wing party OF the
North are Northern men. The interests of
the North may be safely reposed in their
hands for protection" And we meant by
that remark most unequivocally and emphat-
icalIy,. that the Wing party of the North
will defend the interests of the North under
any and all circumstances. The rhote coun-
try they are ever and always for, and they
are as true patriots and worthy citizens as
the members of any other party dare pretend
and the interests of the South are found di.
rectly opposed, they sre for the North-they
are Northsrn MEN-not Northern doughfaces.
Nor do we pretend they are bit more zeal
Gus for the North than are the people of the
South for their section-but they are not like
many prominent Northern born men in the
Democratic party, ever to be found cringing
at the feet of the slave interests, and afraid
TO raise their voices in opposition to any
thing the South may choose to advocate, or
offer to the North for acceptance. They are
not willing tools in the hands of the South.
and the South never looks to the Wing party
of the North to find Il aitors to the interests
Of their own section.
The Wing party of the North is opposing
this Nebraska bill, while the doughface edi-
tors and politicians of the Democratic party
North, are supporting it. But many of that
party, who are not such doughfaces, are side
by side with the Wing party, and determined
not to relinqush anything further to the
South. The South has been controlling the
North and Northwest long enough. She has
been debating to all the rest of the Union
ever since the Union was formed, and she
has always found traitors enough at the
North to give her every thing she has demand
ed. In this particular case, she has not de-
manded anything, SO much as Northern dem
agogues have very kindly in the name of tn,
North, expressed desire to surrender wha
the South would willingly accept. But TIT
North has not authorized any such surrender
and we honestly believe that if this question
were put to the vote of the people of tn,
North, nine-tenths of them would vot,
against this Nebraska bill. Yet it is posi-
bic, that NEARLY all the Southern member
voting for it, enough Northern men may b.
found willing to truckle to the South, to pas,
this measure through Congress. We hop,
not-bat can believe anything at this day.

The Enquirer accuses US Of being sectional
and of knowing only the North" in polit.
ical sense. II is unnecessary for the Journal
to define its position upon National questions.
1t is perfectly well known to all who can ap-
preciate it, and are rot disposed to misrepre.

on an important question: Just now, which that
paper is giving "A mental support, simply be.

Journal was ever proud IL recognize the COM

adapted to The great national ends which call

them as a sacred compact entered into be-
tween the North and South, which the good
faith of both sections was pledged to main.
tain. The South, through Northern dough.
faces is now seeking to annul that COM
pact, and the Journal opposes the measure,
and its primary reason for doing it, is, be-
cause it is a sectional attempt on the part Of
the South, to usurp the rights and privileges
which it has most solemnly agreed not to
NEEDLE with.
We most heartily disapprove of, and shall
oppose all measures which in any manner
initiate against the principles upon which
the compromise measures OF 1920 and 1850
are based, whether they originate North OF
South, until we shall have been convinced
that they are inadequate to subserve the great
national ends for which they were created
Our neighbor may call US an AbOltionist
Free-soiler, or whatever best pleases his ian
cy. We are satisfied with our own position

Wreck OF the j. w. Observation-Disclosures.
We published OH Tuesday morning tele-
graph dispatch concerning the wrecking OF
this boat on the Falls at Louisville. We now
learn the full particulars from the Louisville
papers to be as follows: She attempted to
pass the Falls through the Indiana chute,
heavily laden with produce and provisions
with two large barges in tow, in charge of a
Jacksonville pilot by the name of Dryden
Soon after entering the chute she struck
heavily upon rock. which caused her to leak
badly. The passengers were directed by
Capt. Irwin to go on board the barges. He
attempted to head his boat to shore when she
lurched heavily and nearly capsized. AT this
juncture the cabin parted from the hull, to-
gether with the boilers and one wheel, all OF
which went overheard, and the hull being
thus relieved, righted with the forecastle deck
above water. Just before the falling OF the
cabin and boilers, the barge on the lower side
swung loose, and the falling mass dropped
between the barge and the hull, thus prov;-
dentially saving both the barge and.passen-
gers from being crushed in one general ruin.
Several boats came Immediately to the relief
of the Niles and succeeded in saving a con.
siderable portion of her immense cargo. The
officers of the Charleston and Frank Pierce
heard her signal bell and aver that the Chin
neys and cabin Tell in less than two minutes
after the alarm.
No lives were lost, which is considered al
most miraculous considering the nature and
suddenness of the disaster. The iron safe
containing $4,000 in money and the valuable
papers of the boat, was cut out OF the cabin
after it floated off aud was saved. The boat
will prove total loss and was only insured
for $4,000. The loss Of property is very
heavy. 1t is alledged by Louisville pilots
that she was drawing or inches more wa
ter than there was in the chute. The pilot
Dryden, acknowledged that he had only one
inch water to spare. Whether charge of i'm.
prudence OIL tue part of the pilot will lay oil
not, will be hereafter investigated.

Evamsv,,,e commercial College.

We called, a shor, time since, at Mr.
Behm's Commercial College Rooms in this
city. He has his school rooms fitted up very
neatly, with fine desks, arm chairs, &c. &c.
He seems determined to make his pupils
comfortable, at the same time they are recev.
ing proper instruction. Mr.. B. is an excel.
lent teacher, and as amply qualified to in
struct young men in thorough knowledge
of Bookkeeping in all its varieties and de-
tails, as the professors at the commercial COL
leges in the. large cities. 1t is, to speaf
plainly, all humbug for young men of this
city or of any town in this vicinity, to visit
Cincinnati, pay extravagant prices for tuition,
heavy board bills, &C., to learn Book Keep
ing, when the science can be learned as we'll
if not better here at home, and much more
economically. Mr. B. has every facility for
teaching Bookkeeping, and thorough
knowledge Of the science in all its Details
He has turned out a number Of young men
good practical accountants who can bear tes-
timony to his abilities as teacher. His
terms are very reasonable. We can CON-
mend this institution to those DESTROYS OF OBJ
tanning knowledge of bookkeeping.

CANAL VIcroRY IN New YoRK.-The
special election, on the canal amendment,
came off last Wednesday, and resulted in the
adoption of the amendment to the consttu-

speedy enlargement of the various canals.
This has been a vexed question for years,
and one over which many millions have been
squandered in opposition to the obvious ne
cessity Of the improvements contemplated.

Were not the people as intelligent as they
are, the course of the Administration would
have crushed out all independent feeling, and
we should have been taught to believe that
our every action must be in accordance with
the wishes of sour rulers" at Washington.
Nat. Democrat.
Pretty good sentiment for strong Loco
foco paper. But this same paper has had
considerable of its independence crushed out
by the Administration. Since the Douglass
bill has received rather the approval of the
Administration, and the condemnation of the
faction OF New York, which the Adminstra-
ton has been rewarding with offices, the Ma
tional Democrat has lost considerable of its
former boosted independence. 1t evidently
begins to study the wishes OF Is our rulers " at
Washington. But it still can occasionally
talk out as above, and in this shows rather
more manly feeling than its Locofoco cotem-
poraries.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Is, 1854.


WASHINGTON, Feb. l3, 1854.
The calculations of MIR. Douglas concern
ing the Nebraska bill seem, thus far, to have
failed entirely. A fortnight ago he was to
get vote on the measure within u week; yet
fortnight has elapsed and the vote is now
seemingly more than fortnight distant. The
original zeal Of the friends of the measure in
the Senate mas evidently abated somewhat
and it would not bea matter for very great
surprise if the bill was not passed by that
body. If brought TO vote it will pass, un-
doubtedly, but it is quiet likely that it may
be laid upon the table. There is evidently
no earnestness on the part of the advocates
Of the bill. No one of them really likes the
measure, yet, from various reasons, they are
afraid to oppose l.. Party feaIty leads them
to favor it, while such a course is condemned
by their judgment, and will seriously impair
their popularity at home.
They may find some consolation in the adj
vice given to the late distinguished Senator
from Kentucky, who was once in most un-
comfortable predicament on Pennsy lvania
Avenue In THE city, from which he was at a
loss how to extricatc himself. He had ia
ken goat by the horns, and was AFRAID to
let 90, les he should be knocked over by the
dHiinuI, Willie uoiuiuH OH WIS very UIillCuIt, III
not impossible. In this eXirt meiy, he asked
the advice OF one OF Il group Of small boys
standing near to The course he should pur-
sue. "Why," said the urchin, "don't you
know what to do! Why, just let 60 and run
like blazes."
Unless the Nebraska bill is soon disposed
of it is quite probable that the interests oil
; other and more important measures will de-
mand that it be lid upon the table. Among
these measures is the Pacific railroad bill
which demands early attention. he ener-
getic and faithful chairman OF the Pacific
! Railroad Committee will not allow consid.
Grafton of the subject to be delayed much
longer by the Nebraska matter, which is az
ter all, in the minds Of the majority, mat.
ter of no immediate concern. The real
friends of this railroad, too, should exert them.
selves to defeat the Nebraska bill, for it is
quite certain, that, should the bill be passed
no Pacific railroad bill can be carried though
this session.
