and precision of language, and polished style"
So says the Nashua Gazette. Really, if Jeffer-

confess that this is Il progressive are. The
Boston Traveller, .hus abiding to the above,
adds, sarcasticaIly: "But President Pierce's
message not only exceeds, in graces of style,
all other messages of all the Presidents, but all
other political documents ofa'} other statesmen,
from Alexander Hamilton to Daniel Webster,
many OF whom, considering they were old fogies
and lived in an unenIigh,ened age, produced
some very passable State papers," Concern

is remarkable for "clearness and precision of
language" the question might be asked-Can

the meaning Of the following Ito us) involved

"That wise enconomy, which isas far removed

Distressing Accideni-S Steamboat Sunk.-
Lires Losk.-We understand from the Baton
Rouge Daily Advocate, of Wednesday last
that on the previous morning. the steamer
Natchez ran into the steamer Pearl, sinking the
latter, in three minutes. Ten lives were re.
ported to have been lost. The cabin with the
passengers, among whom were a large number
o ladies, foated off down the river; and the
terror-stricken inmates, until relieved by the
Natchez, were in a most distressing situation.
being immersed up to their chins in water, and
the weather being cold. The cargo isa total
loss.
The Pearl was an Attakappas boat, and the
Natchez ran in the N. O. and Vicksburg trade.
The accident occurred near Brusle Landing.

been busy of late, in his section Of the parish, in
taking from amongst US the aged and the honored,
but none have gone down to their caves with few

affairs, and the scenes Of his domestic life-and
after enjoying with his beloved family and friends
a period Of life far past that allotted to man, the
shadows of earth faded from bis view and he quiz

disposition, and his love for his family-surely
has found in eternity that bliss which is promised
to the harmless and the just. Peace to the ashe,

Great Excitement in Cincinnati

The following dispatch, dated Cincinnati, Dec.
&c, we find in the Baltimore American:
Our city is the scene Of a terrible excitement,
caused by a Threatened demonstration BY an
| organized body Of Germans against Bishop
Bedini, who is now the guest Of Archbishop
Purcell, and oficiated at the Cathedral yester.
day morning. A most violent luminosity, it
seems, is entertained towards Bedini by a body
Of Germans in this city, called the "Society of
Freemen," and last evening about five hundred
members Of this Society assembled AT their
| hall, and. having organized, marched to the vi
cinity of the Archbishop's residence. with the
supposed intention of doing personal violence
to the Nuncio. The Chief Of Police, however,
having received an intimation of the movement.
he retained the entire police force at the watch.
house, which is situated opposite the Archbish.
ops residence. As the Freemen approached
they set up a dismal groan, accompanied with
shouting, and diseordant music. When the
procession was passing the watch-house, the
police, at the word of command, rushed upon
it, and each arrested u man. A general melee
followed, and a scene ensued which battles des.
~cription. Many shots were fired, and shouts
and execrations filled the air. The rioters
finally fled, but were pursued by the police, and
upwards of sixty Of their number captured, and
placed in the cells of the watch.house.
The bitter luminosity against the Nuneio,
which led to this outbreak, is the consequence
of that individuals betrayal Of the cause of
liberty in Italy, during the Revolution of lS48.
Several infammatory articles have recently ap-
peared in the German papers touching the mat
ter, in one of which the following sentence
occurs. "Ifthe Hungarian butcher, Haynau, met
with so warm reception in monarchicaI Eng
land, what ought the Pope's Nuncio to expect
in Republican America"!
The excitement is continued this morning in
the neighborhood of the wateh-house, where u
large crowd is collected.
Another dispatch, dated a few hours later,
says the parties arrested had been held to bail.
Fourteen were wounded, of whom one had
since died.

Col. Stewards Sugar House Destroyed.
We are panied to learn that the Sugar House OF
Col. R. A. STEWART, of this parish, was destroy
ed by fire on the night of the Sd inst, together
with about $50 hhds, of sugar. We understand
that the sugar, as well as sugar-house and mill,
was partially covered by insurance.
Thus, this industrious and enterprising gentle
man, has lost his dwelling house and all its valu-
able contents, his sugar-house, mill, and his entire
crop Of sugar-all lost by fire, doubtless applied
by the hands of an internal incendiary-for the
Colonel has enemies, enemies from some cause or
other, (what good man has not p and one If them

dish hate. The safety of the property of us all
calls upon every citizen to do his best to ferret out
and bring to punishment such demons in human
shape.

Su22r And Malasses.

"A suos<riber has furnished US with the St
10 dis 1~ntel!igencer, of the 22d ult., from which
we make the following extract relative to Su-
gar and Mo!asses, which cannot fail to be of
interest to a majority Of our readers:
lowing to the partial suspension of naviga.
ton in the upper rivers, and the continued lib
eral arrivals of Sugar and Molasses, prices are
extremely low-Iower perhaps than they were
ever known in this market before, Sugars are
and have been for several days a drug, but on.
ly within the past day or two have they reach
ed a point at which a loss must be sustained
on all, or nearly all sold. In fact, our levee
prices approximate very nearly to those of New
Orleans.
"Within the past two days sales of over two
hundred hogsheads have been made at 81 for
common and 81 to 81 for good fair, and 81 to
4 for fine.
Receipts are unusually heavy for the season
bu, We imagine there will be a falling off when
accounts of sales reach the shippers South
They will be very apt TO turn their attention to
some other market. unless they can send their
sugar and molasses here and sell them for the
same or less price than they would bring at
New Orleans.
ave are told that most of the recent ship
ments are from the coast plantations, the PLAN
ter sending here in preference to New Orleans.
in consequence of high freights charged BY the
packets, and the expense attending the selling
and taking care of his crops after their arriva!
at New Orleans. We of course have no OBJ
y~yection 10 this, but St. Louis cannot sell or
consume all the sugar and moIasses produced
in Louisiana-particularly at this season of the
year, and it would therefore be advisable for
shippers to exercise a little more discretion in
sending such heavy co%nsignments to q CITY
whose principal avenues of trade are dried or
rather frozen up at this time. In other words, the
market is ruinousIy low, and to send these ar
ticles here in the quantity they have been com.
ing the past ten days, or two weeks, is simply
absurd"
We merely publish the above extract to
show what is said in St. Louis upon a subject
of so much interest to our readers rs sugar
and molasses. The remarks are very seasonal
BILE, and contain ve:y good advice, did we knop
that it was strictly unsel6sh; but they seem to
smack too much Of self-interest. The interest
OF the Louisiana %sugar-planter is not taken so
much al heart by the st. Louis press AZ to ad.
wise them to do that which is antagonistical to
the interests Of st. Louis merchants. We
advise our planters to be careful how they give
full credence TO commercial articles from dis
tant cities relative to the staples which they
cultivate.

making business as an agreeable pas,ime, as
we'll as from motives Of enconomy. The gal.
