AUSTRIA Russians influence is very active,

Mr.. EpIToR:--Having resolved to spend
the glorious birthday of our National lnde-
pendence, in as pleasant, agreeable, and in.
teresting manner as possible, 1 came to the
conclusion, to visit the neghborng city OF
Wheeling, and observe the passing "sgh,s," ;"
and events, that might there be presented to
the Wis ual Organs, of an Ignorant country
greenhorn;" or in other words-to see--not
"Sam"-but the "Elephan;;" and as some
account of the proceedings, may not be unn.
teresting 10 the readers OF the Chronicle,
will proceed to Chronicle few of them.
Crossing at Martins Ferry, the first object
observed. that drew particular attention, and
before we reached the Virginia side, was u
fine, stout, hearty looking. young fellow,
"glorlousy drnnk." OF course, every free.
born American citizen, considers it an mali
enable right, and privilege, to get drunk on
that day, if he chooses; and wallow in the
dust, dirt, and filth, if he chooses; Tor is it
not Independence day! and has not man
right to do as he pleases! A gentleman
que ried, 81 wonder where he procured his
liquor! should ihink h-e,uld not be so
easily obtained in the cityw He was an.
swered, ooh! there is plenty of it, in the
city! You will sre forty drunken men before
night" "lf they are Ohioans. they will be
severely dealt with" was the reply. remark.
ed, "some Ohioans are better raised, than to
get drunk at all, much less, on that memoir
able day, sacred to the heart of every Amer
lean patriot" No reply was made; the boat
touched the .shore, g. we sprang on the pebby
beach. But, to the credit of our sister CITY,
be it said, we saw but tive men afterward,
whom we could strongly suspect, Of partakine

There were three or four companies of
iremen, belonging to the city, and two com.

They were handsomely dressed, and made
quite an imposing appearance. The engines
and hose, belonging to the several companies,
were handsomely, as wei, ns fantastically,
decorated, with wreaths and boquets of arti.
fetal flowers; and their apparatus all appear.
ed to be in good condition. The procession
marched through several principal streets of
the city, and then adjourned for. dinner, after
which, we saw them no more; preierriug to
spend few hours of calm meditation, among
"the graves Of the departed" on the beautiful
cool, and shady grounds of the Cemetery; to

The steamer Lexington, Capt. ]. V Throp
which left st. Louis last Thursday evening
for Louisville, having about 80 persons ON
board, including passengers and crew, ex.
ploded her boilers in the Ohio River, while
VI der way, about 3 O'Clock on Saturday
morning killed and wounding fully half of
the people IN board. This terrible disaster
occurred near the town Of Rome, Ia. 100
miles below this city, while every soul on
board, with the exception Of that part of the
crew who were on watch, were all asleep in
their bsrths. totally unconscious of the dan
ger and death that surrounded them.
The boat, it is supposed, exploded all her
boilers with terrific noise, causing death
and destruction to all around. The upper
works Of the boat, forward Of her water
wheels were blown to fragments, throwing
the sleeping passengers and the crew about
like "chaff before the wind" many of them
falling in the river, and others alighting
among the fragments OF the burning boat
and red hot furnaces on the lower deck, as

It was the unfortunate Poe who spoke Of
people, ~

- Ghous,-
Men with bodies wanting souls;"..-
but we never knew just as well what he
meant, and what kind of things he referred
as since we read the following:
II was Capt. Goodrich OF the schooner
Grace Darling, who took one hundred and
twenty-five dollars from five slaves at Nor
folk, Va, as the price for bringing them away
and then after having got them on board his
vessel, betrayed them to :he authorities. The
Grace Darling arrived ot Boston one day last
week, and on Saturday the captain was wait
ed upon by committee of Boston gentle
men who desired some explanation Of the
affair. He vouchsafed them none, however,
but intimated that if they were not pleased
with his conduct they we're at liberty to cul-
tivate their displeasure to their hearts con-
cent. On Saturday evening he went out to
Manchester, where he resides, and as soon as
his arrival became known there, his neigh
bors and friends called upon him for explana-
tions. He gave them as little satisfaction
as he had given the Boston committee, where
upon they manifested their adherence Of
his conduct by hanging him in efigJ on the
public square, in front of the Orthodox church
in Manchester The effigy was labeled,
"Judas sold the oppressed for thirty pieces of
silver" and was suffered to remain suspend
ed all through the Sabbath. The captain was
called to Boston by his engagements on
Monday morning, and there the following
placard greeted his sight at all the principal
corners:
STOP THIEF,
Ran away form NORFOLK, Va, with
! One Hundred and Twenty-Five Dollars, CAPT
GOODRICH os Manchester, Mass. Master
of Schooner "GRAcE DARLING" now lying
in the harbor df Boston. JUDAS took the
thirty pieces, but he performed the service
for those who paid him. MARK THIS
WRETCH! He 1ecoyed five colored per-
sons on board his vessel, promising to bring
them away for aprice, TOOK THEIR MON
Ely. and then BETRAYED THEM! Let
him have such reception as he deserves,
wherever he appears, at the North.-DE.
SCRIPTION.-A large-body; no soul;
about 40 years of age; hair inclining to grey.
no whiskers; complexion Drowned, teeth dis.
colo-ed by tobacco.

some explanation, and it is now said that he

ment in few days.-Sptingfeld Rep.

The steamer America arrived at Boston at
. o'clock last night Her mails were trans
mtted by the morning train, and wi i'll arrive
here tonight. The papers contain very few
items of Importance; N me, in fact, not al
ready transmitted by telegraph.
The English troops carried the out works
of the Redun fort, but were stopped by a
trench which was enf!aded by the Rodan and
Malekof batteries, and in which the troops
were exposed to n murderous fire " ,e
Times does not prete nd to give the
particulars, but says the loss greatly
exceeds that of any previous engagement in
the Crimea. The London News intimates
that the Government has information which
it withholds.

FOREIGN NEWS.

The foreign news by the America though
meagre and unsatisfactory, is nevertheless of
great importance, ana will create great ex-
citement to see the next arrival. 1t is dif-
hcult to obtain correct advices, coming as all
our reports do, through parties interested in
the success Of the allies. There can be no
question now, however, but that the allies
Qhe English at leasD have met with severe
losses, probably much nore thar reported.
