the islands of 90 and 81, at about o'clock
P. NJ, March "a, the wind at the time blowing
hard. Capt. C. B. Church gave the orderto
make the shore as soon as possible. Mr.. NJ.
J. Miller, pilot at the wheel, stood Eanfully at
his post, until the boat struck the shore. and
then made his escape from the flames by jump.
ing off the hurricane roof at the stern of the
boat, into the river. He exercised also fine
judgment, in the selection of a point at which
to reach the land, at or before reaching which,
the boat was e~ncompassed in flames, having on
board about $500 bales of cotton.
Some OF the passengers succeeded in jump
ing on shore from the forecastIe, but the large
majority were cut off from their escape forward
by the flames being in the inner part of the
boat. Capt. c.. B. Church. together with Messrs
Freelight, Porter, and Robinson, clerk, Mr..
Brown, the mate, as well as all the other Off
GERS of the boat, worked with faithful fidelity
in saving the passengers from a watery grave.

In common with our contemporaries through.
out the Union, it is with pleasure that we record
our high appreciation of the above paper. There
is moi, we think. in the city of New York, a Jour.
nal which excels it in the tact and ability with
which it is conducted, nor one of more interes,
aud usefulness to the people. 1t is one of the few
papers which, although a leading political journal,
Is supremacy Independent in its character. Unsul-
lied or unawed by party d~ictation, it is bold and
fearless in its views and expressions upon all pub
nc matters. The Mirror was formerly a Wing

which hoisted the name of TAYLOR for the Presi.

choice for the Presidency-that choice il undoubt-
eddy SAM HoUsroN. of Texas. In this, there
seems to be something in a name" for dilatipg
upon the virtues, the greatness and the invincibil-
ity of "SAM" has been a favorite theme for a long
time with the editor of this paper, as with hum
dreds of Others throughout the length and breadth
OF the country. Col. FULLER, the Mirrors edi-
tor, is wise and discriminating, while he is a FLU.
ent and eloquent writer, never shrinking from the
expression of his thoughts, whoever or wherever
they cut, or however "deep into the bowels, of
error and iniquity they penetrate-and the party
who, IN his zeal for the interests of his country,
SO fortunate as to get the aid Of his effective
pen, may well congratulate itself. He is, besides.
aolest supporter Of Southern institutions to
be found among the editors of the North.
thus much for the Mirror, a paper we never
faii to unfold with pleasure. 1t is ALWAYS full If

FACTS FOR THE PEOPLE.
NEVER GIVE UPI

Since we suspended this paper, last year, we
have had several calls for it, and for such doc
uments as it would have contained We have
therefore concluded to resume its publication,
changing its form to royal octave, the size and
form of Congressional documents, so that it
may be bound into neat convenient volume.
The last volume was devoted chiefly TO a
compilation of old Southern documents on the
Question of Slavery, more useful for reference,
than for general reading. The plan for the
new volume will be modified, so as to embrace
matter, specially adapted to the present con-
dition of our cause, and yet worthy of pres
ervaton.
The AntiSlavery Movement will be its lead
ing idea.
Such a publication, cheap convenient, and
suitable for extensive circulation and distrbu-
ton, is particularly needed at the present time,
when old party organizations are shattered,
and when the Anti-Slavery Sentiment, although
pervading the public mind, needs a well-de-
fined, general organization, and q clear, ration
al method, to secure it due weight at the ballot.
box and in legislation. To quicken this Senti.
ment, and to aid in giving it a form and method
adapted to the exigency, will be the two-fold
object of FACTS FOR THE PEOPLE.
"FACTs FOR THE PEOPLE" will be issued the
uAob "COh vi every IOOdl OCJttNO 10TH,
l6 pages, composed chiefly of such papers from
the National Era as shall be peculiarly suita-
BILE for general distribution. 1t will be sent
only in clubs, at the following rates per annum,
twelve numbers constituting a volume:
Six copies to one address Sl.00
Fourteen copies to one address 200
Fifty copies to one address 600
The postage is triAe-only half cent
number, or six cents year, paid in advance
at the office aohere the paper is receiUed.
Any person or club, by raising Sc, may in
this way furnish monthly Anti-Slayery reading
for whole year, to half hundred persons
and is not this the very time to indoctrinate the
masses, who have been cut loose from old or
CARNATIONS, with Anti-Slavery principles Ev-

plan would be for few persons, earnest in the
cause, to unite, agree upon an efficient plan for

then send in their orders accordingly.
