Particulars of the Recent Steamboat
Disaster


From the officers of the steamer Swamp Fox,
which arrived yesterday morning, we obtain the fol-
lowing particulars of the explosion and loss Of the
Alabama.
On Saturday the 18th inst, at about 10 o'clock, A.
NJ, while the Alabama; on her way from New Or
leans to Mnden, had reached,a point five miles above
Grand Ecore, her larboard boiler exploded with tre-
mendous force, tearing away her upper works as far
back as the barber shop, and killing and woundng
number of persons, among the latter Of whom. was
the commander of the boat, Capt Graeff. Immedi-
ately afterwards the boat took reand bnrned to the
waters edge, together with her cargo.
The following s,swe believe, correct list Of the
sufferersb by this disaster: %.

LEAD MINES IN ALABAMA-Quite important dis
coveres of lead have been made recently in Goosa
county, Alabama. A specimen taken from . pit on
the top of vein, fifteen or twenty feet below the
surface contains not only lead, hnt gold and silver.
Black, red and grey copper is also found IN that
vicinity
A specimen has been submitted to Mr.. Riddel,
Professor of Chemistry in the University of Lonsi
ana to be assayed and the result of his analysis is
follows: U
The proportions of the mass are such that 1000
lbs of the lead yield silver to the value of $685.
and gold to the value of $3532 Now, admitting the
900 pounds to be worth, for the lead alone cents
per pound we have $40, which, added to S7s, the
value of the gold and silver, makes the worth of the
mass S2l3. 5t z8s5=5z#8
The section in whieissthese minerals have been dis
covered, is one which has. received little attention
from the settler, and none from scientific men. The
vein from which specimens have been taken runs i
under ridge about mile from the Coosa river. The
deposites are now undergoing examination IN under
the superintendent of Professor Yansant, whose
explorations thus far have not extended to tle Iower
strata, has the bed of the river been ekplofsa.
These discoveries deserve the attention e9 seehtshe
men, and especially those of Alabama.

An Act
To limit and eqaaze Municipal Taxation in the city

q
WHEREAS, the General Assembly has been memo
riazed by citizens of New Orleans to equalize taxa
ton in said CITY, and to limit the rate OF taxation on
real estate and slaves to one and onea per cent on
the assessed value thereof and whereas, it has been
demonstrated to this General Assembly, that such
rate of taxation will produce, when leyied on the
seventy millions of that species of property an amount
ample and sufficient to pay annually the consolidated
and railroad debts Of said CITY, amounting together
sto eight hundred and seventy-two thousand dollars,
and Furthermore to leave surplus of one hundred
and seventy eight thousand dollars, applicable to ordi
nary municipal purposes; and whereas, It Is deemed

mon Council OF the city of New Orleans to levy any
| tax exceeding one dollar and fifty cents on every
| hundred dollars of the assessed valuation OF real
estate and slaves, situated within the limits OF sad
city, and subject to municipal taxation therein
Provided that such amount shall be raised thereby
as shall be sufficient to pay the interest Of the present
city debts together with the gradual reduction OF the
capital Of the consolidated debt, as required by the
| laws now in force. ~ .
SEC. @ Be it further enacted, ETC., That from and
after the passage of this act it shall not be lawful Tor
the said Council to levy any tax on personal property
or .moyeables exceeding the rate of taxation pro.
yided in the foregoing section of this act but in no
case shall it be lawful for the said Council to levy
any tax whatever, whether real estate Or slaves
or moyeables, which shall not be equal and uniform
within the limits Of or through the several district:
of said city, as now organized.
