TERRIBLE STEAMBOAT ExPLOsION.-The tt
mour No. 2, exploded all three of her boilers q
few days since at a woodward near Jefferson
City, on the Missouri, killing fifteen or twenty
persons and wounding several more. Chas Dix,
pilot, and three deck hands were among the
killed The boat is total loss. The wreck
went to the bottom in eight feet of water.
THE LUELLA.-This old favorite low water
steamer arrived from St. Louis Tuesday eve
ming, under command of Capt Boyce. 1t is
generally known, we presume, that the Luella
is now a St. Paul boat--being owned by COM
pany of St. Paul's citizens, and Capt. Boyce,
who hereafter considers himself st. Paul man.
The Luella is one of the best of light draught
boats, and in all respects deserving of public
patronage. She leaves to-day at ten O'Clock
for Rock Island
EDITORIAL CHANGE.-Tbe Democrat of last
evening contained the valcdictory of Mr.. Ohm
sted, who has disposed of the establishment to
c. l.. Emerson, Esq. an old citizen of St. Paul,
and gentleman not unknown in this commun-
ity as clear and forcible writer. Politically,
the new editor is one of the bitterest in the
democratic" deck, and we therefore presume
fhora 10 81, xlo
of the paper. Mr.. Olmsted's continued i'll
health is understood to be the main cause for
retiring from the editorial chair which he has
filed the past fifteen months with commendable
ability and great satisfaction to a majority of
his patrons. We wish him all success in the
pursuit of whatever business he may hereafter
engage.
THE LANDS WITHDRAWN FROM SALE.-The
Milwaukee News learns from Washington that
the lands heretofore withdrawn from sale or
entry in the Willow River and Mineral Point
District and of the proposed railroad line from
Dubuque to Fond du Lac, Lake Superior, will
again be subject to entry on and after the 25th
of September next. on the same condition "A
before the withdrawal.
GS- Mr.. Culver, ol'the firm of Culver & Fon-
seca arrived home yesterday by the Col Nor
gan. A heavy stock of goods follows him, and
will be upon his shelves in few days. By Mr..
c. we have st. Louis papers of the latest dates
THAT WRIT NOT NEEDED-We had four
steamboats, from below at one time at the
lower landing yesterday, receiving and dis
charging freight and passengers. The head
OF Navigation" still keeps its position, in all
the strength and vigor of manhood, with all
the hair on, and not hair yet grey.
~ The Gen. Morgan and Globe arrived
yesterday afternoon from below. We are in
debted to the clerk of the Globe for Galena pa
pcrs of Saturday.
"DAH.Y MAIL. THAT arrangement with the
transient boats as the Packet Company calls
the faithful accommodating and essential stern
wheelers, appears to have commenced. We
received mail by the Luella on Tuesday and
another by the Globe yesterday All right,
va Markly Kern were yesterday enpag-
ed in removing their extensive establishment
into their new store in Empire Block.
MINNESOTA LAND BILI.-The St. Paul paners
hold Mr.. Rice. the Delegate from Minnesota.
accountable for the repeal of the Minnesota
Bill.-Dubuque Herald
Not so, Mr.. Herald. The .Mendoto Pioneer
and the st. Peters Times, two papers printed
and dated at st. Paul, have taken the course .
you indicate, but the st. Paul papers have
done nothing of the kind.
JUDGE BRoNsoN.-The n. Y. State Democratic
Central Committee U1ards) met ut the Astor
House, on the 23d ultimo, and appointed
committee to wait on Judge Bronson, and re-
quest his acceptance Of the nomination for Co
vernon. Judge Bronson, in reply, authorized
them TO report that although bis personal feel
lngs were still averse to an acceptance, he
would no longer oppose his own wishes to those
of his political friends, and he leaves himselfin
their hands. The report was accepted by &C
clamation and with applause.
HE FEoPLEs PREss.-Thc Skowhcgan (Me.)

worthy young men of that State The first
number of vol. 80, presents an excellent ap-
pearance. and shows much editorial tact and
ability. The Press now sustains the Maine
Law, and is generally politically sound. For
