The Accident on Lake Ontario

We find in the Toronto CoLonist the 70 low
ing particulars respecting the terrible accden
which occurred on Lake Ontario, near Kings
ton, and was briefly announced day or TWO
since by telegraph:
The new propeller Tinto, Capt. Campbell, by
some means caught fire off Nine Mile Point and
was burned to the waters edge She had on
board 30 persons, Is Of whom are missing The
following are the names: ID. Campbell, master:
Alex. Henderson, engineer; r. Lenox, wheels

Captain Campbell was seen to Jump at the last
moment from the wreck, and endeavored to
catch hold of floating fender, but unfortunate
ly missing it, and is supposed to have been
drowned. The captain, who leaves a wife and
child III this city, was well known and always
bore the character of an honest and industrious
man.
The Tinto was on her upward passage. She
had only few passengers and was loaded with
merchandise for Toronto and Hamilton. She
was built during the past season at Sorel, and
cost about $4,000. Her owners were Messrs.
Glib q Ross, of Quebec and Toronto, whom, it
is probable, Lave her heavily insured. The par

The Pass of the Sierra.


All night above their rocky bed
They saw the stars march slow:
The wild Sierra overhead,
The deserts death below.
The Indian from his lodge of bark,
The gray bear from his den,
Beyond their camp-tire's wall OF dark,
Glared on the mountain men.
Still upward turned, with anxious strain,
Their leaders seepless eye,
Where splinters of the mountain chain
stood black against the sky.
The night waned slow at last glow,
gleam of sudden fire,
Shot up behind the walls of snow,
And tipped each icy spire.
"Up men !" he cried, "yon rocky comb,
To-day, please God, Wen pass,
And look from Winters frozen home,
On Summers flowers and grass
They set their faces to the blast,
They trod the eternal snow,
And, faint, worn, bleeding, hailed at last
The promis ed land below
Behind, they saw the snow cloud tossed
By many an icy horn,
Before, warm valleys wood embossed,
And green with vines and corn.
They left the Winter at their backs,
To flap his baffled wing,
And downward with the cataracts,
Leaped to the lap of Spring.
Strong leader of that mountain band!
Another task remains,
To break from savery's desert land
path to Freedoms plains.
The winds are wild, the way is dresr,
Yet flashing through the night,
Lo icy ridge and rocky spear
Blaze out in morning light,
Rise up, Fremont, and go before;
The Hour must have its Man;
Put on the huntiAg shirt once moro,
And lead in Freedoms van

In his late letter to the ratification committee
at Charleston. S. c., ?. S. Brooks gives his rea-
sons for supporting Buchanan for the Presidency
in these words:
Mr.. Buchanan was neither my first nor sec
ond choice for the Presidency; but, as the repre-
Sentatire Of type Of principles and standing out
b0ldly as he does upon the Baltimore platform
upon which Gen. Pierce was carried into power
enlarged, improved and strengthened as it has
been by the sHppieme NAL resolutions adopted at
Cincinnati, and by which resolutions our priRci-

Fremont the Choice of the Nation.


For Fremont's the choice of the nation,
The pride of the fearless and free!
Wen drink to his health and his station,
Though Fillmore has come DER the sea.
His heart beats for freedom remaining
On the soil where fond liberty grew
He's for our pioneers sustaining
The free hag-the red, white and blue.
There are lands where millions are yearning
For freedom from tyrant's chains,
Though to Kansas our efforts are turning
To keep her free from slavery's stain.
For Fremont he stands with devotion,
And swears to the Union he's true;
He's crossed DER mountain and ocean,
And plants there the red, white and blue.
No sectional bands e'er shall sever
The bonds our forsfathers wrought;
"The Union, for ever and ever !"
Unsullied, unstained and unbought,
Is the watchword for Fremont we borrow,
And he stands by his promise so true;
Then who will their leader not follow,
When he bears the red, white and blue.
Our voices are joined, then, for Union;
The stars and the stripes are above;
IIuzza all for Fremont and Dayton!
HuzZa for the man that we lovei
The old Union ship, when well guided,
VIII be found that her timbers are true,
And soon will the storm have subsidized
That threatened the red, white and blue.

General Persifer Smith in Kansas.


However il NAV have been with one or two of
our correspondents, we were never among those
who were taken i'll by the pretense that Gen.
Smiths transfer to Kansas would prove of any
advantage to the prosecuted people of that en-
bryo State. We did not believe he w ould wish
to overrule the policy of his official superiors,
and we knew he would have no power to do so
if he desired it. The following letter from Lea
venworth, which we find in the Chicago Tribune,
only confirms our original impression:
LEAvENwORTH CITY,
Monday, July TO- 1856.
"hTEsSRs EDITORS: Yes

Gen. Persifer +. Smith, at his quarters at Fort
Leayenworth, to lay their grievances before him
and ask his interposition as military command
of the forces in the Territory, to protect their
lives and their property from the bands of armed
marauders from South Carolina, Georgia, and
Alabama, who are stationed over us at the diff
ferent river towns, armed with United States
arms, and supported by contributions furnished
from Missouri. When asked for relief to dis
perse those armed military bands, as Free State
men have heen dispersed in the Territory, his
reply is that he has NO AUTHoRITY-that THESE
BANDS ARE REGULARLY ENROLLED AS MILITIA
OF THE TERRITORY, AND THAT EVERYTHING
THEY DO Is DONE UNDER COLOR OF
LAW, and that ,ce (the Free State men) haze
no redress except IN the future, By resort to the CIR
