DnEaDFrI SrKAnBaAr DlsAsrER>-On
Saturday night, about III o'clock, the

board a cargo Of 1850 bales Of cotton,
and about ls5 passengers, whilst max
ing the landing at the Lake terminus
Of the New Orleans. Jefferson and Lake

The FIRE from the burning boat com
inundated 10 the wharf, two or three
hundred feet Of which were destroyed !;
also four or Eve freight cars. the ware
house, filled with freight, and some 200
bales of cotton, which had been laud-
ed from the steamer Helen. frem Mo.
bile. Captain Alien, The Pilot Of the
Georgia. was at the wheel when the
fire broke out. and was compelled to
save himself by leaping from the hurri-
cane deck 10 the wharf.
The fire originated near the wood
rack. on the larboard side. and as we
are assured by Doctor Young. pas-
senger. within less than FIVE minutes
The boat was enveloped in flames. Most
Of the passengers were asleep in their
berihs, and the scene which ensued may
be imagined, but cannot be described.
Woman aud children were thrown
from the upper deck ON to the wharf,
like SO many sticks of wood, while 9TH
ers, in their fright, leaped into the
water. snd.found a watcry grave. BY
this disaster, it is supposed that no
less than forty persons persisted.

IIThere is delegation from the
Stockbridge Indians, the remnant Of the
once celebrated Mohican tribe, who num-
Der not more than one hundred and fifty
souls. According to tradition amongst
them, New-York city was once the site
of the If chief town. From thence they
removed to Stockbridge,in Oneida coun-
ty, Newly ork. Civilization pressing
upon them there, they went west to a
new home on the st. Mary's River, in
Indiana. In 1873 they again fled
before the face of the white man, seek
ing refuge in Wisconsin. Not long
since they treated with the government
for the EXCHANGE of their lands there for
others in Minnesota. The tribe are now
however, anxious to remain in Wiscon-
sin, having in almost all things adopted
the habits and pursuits of the whites
The delegation are negotiating with the
Indian Bureau for the annulment of the
treaty last above mentioned.

after she betrayed me, | began to scan
the circle of my female friends with the

me, for reasons-I find most of them
vain, frivolous, ignorant, and all too used
to the elegancies and luxuries of life to
share the lot of man who is dependent
upon his profession for his livelihood,
and who must calculate his coin ere he
makes an expenditure. 1t would be cru.

laid apart over clear, wide brow, and
her eyes and lips smile as she looks up
to answer my sympathetic questioning,
while her plump, white hands firmly
illuminate the darkness Of her dress, and
the regular tranquil rise and fall of the
bodice above her bosom, shows warm
and contented heart. She is neat an fair,
from the twist of her sllken locks to the
soles Of her tiny feet, and the sphere
that surrounds and enfolds her is so boun-

The NICER AND ITS TRIBUTARxEs.-
AT recent meeting of the Royal Geo.
graphical Society a letter was read by
Mr.. McGregor Laird, stating that the
screw steamer destined for the explora-
ton Of tho Niger and Chadda rivers
would be ready in March next, aud
would probably leave the mouth of the
main branch of the Niger on her exped-
ton up the river about the first of July.
She will be accompanied by three me-
tallic sectional boats, fifty feet long and
eight feet beam each, manned by natives
SO that in the event Of any serious acct
dent to the steamer the adventures may
take to the beats. The party will COM
prise but ten or twelve Europeans, and
these will all be men of education and
resources. The steamers and boats
crew will consist Of negroes, to the
number of eighty or ninety. 1t is sup.
posed that the steamer, which will be
propelled by screw, will attain the
speed of ten knots, and, leaving the
coast with thirty days coal, will reach
the head of the navigable waters of the
Chadda without being obliged to stop for
additional fuel.

Madison Correspondence.
MADISON, Feb. 28th. 1876.

MADISON, Feb. 2Sth, 1854.
Dir. Editor--Were you ever snatched from
the early embraces of morpheus by the Sleep
subduing appeals oil the serenade? And do
you remember how it stole upon your being,
like the sacred influences of truth and loyelia
ness; giving you an undefnable glow Of enjoy
ment, too rich to remain long in the regions of
sense, but too pure ever to be thrust from the
storehouse of memory? If so, you can par
ticipate, with me, in the interrupted slumber
of last night
4 few moments before low twelve, the Brass
Band of this place awoke me, with some of the
sweetest strains that ever reached my ear upon
the evening breeze. 1t set me right on end
To the window went. I could not possibly
remain PROSTATE votafy to sumber, while
the divine art was making SO overwhelming an
assault upon the more susceptible elements of
my nature. And is it, Mr.. Editor, condition
of our mental organism for the pensive, refec-
tive mood to follow, IN close pl oximity, our
moments of rare enjoy meft? So it was with
me. Thought took to itself associations of no
the domestic circle; of the voice upon the
hearth-stone-the blending notes of the fami-
ly chorus. How long, thought I, will music,
as science, be moderated in the northwest !?
how long will vocal attainment be neglected,
by the youth anon US? I reflected too upon
the harmonies of life, the discords of life, up
on the harmonies and discords Of human cons
duct upon its car iGtions, its bass, its alto,
and, for rich and varied exemplifcations, had
not to travel beyond the range of my hourly
intercourse. We have men here, sober, abste-
neous, in drink and diet, who are making set
speeches against the Prohibition Y Law we
have grave senator's, so fearful of getting
wrong in the details of Legislation ON this
subject, as to refer it to the people for ratfca-
ton or rejection, ON the very day too, when
the people in creating and giving character to
new Legis lature could easily iucu,cate new
truths orsret ract old error! We have polti-
clans here who are boisterous in their solicit
tude for the welfare CT the dear people; and
who's at the same time, by Legislation, empow-
er the majority to hypothecate the faith and
pledge the means of the minority in aid of
railroads and other private enterprises.
Upon the harmonies of this last tune of DO
litica piping, ] must not, at this time, trust
myself, more extendedly, but will soon.--
Yours V.

An EXTINCT AMERICAN RAcE.-The
following passage from the travels Of
Humboldt possess more than ordina ~
interest at the present time:
"Amid the plains Of North America,
some powerful nation, which has disap-
peared, constructed circular, square, and
octagoral Notifications walls 5000
toises in length; tumuli, from 600 to
300 feet in diameter, and lao feet in
height, and containing thousands of
skeletons. The skeletons are the remains
of men less slender and more squat than
the present inhabitants Of those coun-
tries. On a vast space of ground at
the Lower Orinoco, as we'll as on the
banks of the Cassiquiare and between
the sources of the Essequibo and the
Rio Branco, there ure rocks of granite
covered with symbolic figures. These
sculptures denote that the extinct gen.
erations belonged to natiors different
from those which inhabit the same re-
gion."
