State Department. this morning, to the effect
that Gen. Walker had sent to New Orleans. for
recruits for his army, as his hopes Of success
since Schlesinger's defeat, were not of encoura-
cling character.
It is said that hundreds are ready to leave New
Orleans and from the extraordinary excitement
prevailing in that city in favor-of Gen. Walker,
should the Marshal of that district interfere with
his force, to prevent the departure of those re-
solved on going to Walkers aid, serious conse-
quences may follow, as opposing force will GER
tainly be used
The Tribune correspondent telegraphs that the
Cabinet meeting tomorrow, will be truly impor-
tant from the attempt to carry the recognizance of
Walkers Government. The President is strong

Fnghtful Collision---Steamer Northerner
Sunk.
On Sunday night about II o'clock the steamer
Forest Queen, Capt. Wadsworth, bound down
from Point aux Barques, colded with the steam
er Notherner, Capt Cole, from Cleveland for
Saginaw, about four miles above the Fort Graft
OF light, and one mile and half from the Amer
lean shore. The Forest Queen struck the lar
board bow of the NOrtherner some twenty five
feet from the stem cutting hef nearly asunder.
and causing her to sink in about six minutes -
The Forest Queen sustained but slight injury
confined entirely to her STEM
Immediately after the collision, Capt Cole
alarmed the passengers in the cabin, while Mr.
Kesley, the clerk, aroused those below. Capt.
C.. then jumped on the bow of Forest Queen
the boats hanging, as it were, together for two
or three minutes-and succeeded in getting
large number OF the passengers off the sinking
vessel. As the boats separated, he, with others,
got out the small boats. By the almost superhu.
man exertions of the officers and crews of both
vessels, the passengers-all of them, it is hoped
of the Northerner were saved. The only per
son known to be missing, is her second engineer
Peter Moore, of Cleveland. 1t is possible that
some of tho passengers are lost, but none are
known to be 50. The trip sheet, &C were not
saved.
Mr.. John A. Huff, his wife and seven children
were in the Storage of the Northerner. He was
awakened by the noise of the collision, and inn
msdiately gathering his family tohether, pushed
them towards the main deck he missed one of
the children, and, on returning to the steetage,
found il floating in the water, then some two or
more feet deep. He caught it and got it safe on
deck just as the Youngest of his flock was swept
overheard. He plunged inte the water, swan
come thirty feet ant succeeded in saving this,
child also. He, together with those for whose
safety he had struggled so hard were finally all
got aboard of the Forest Queen.
Many of the passengers on board the Northerner
had retired, and were saved with only their night
clothes. No baggage or freight ofany kind was
saved. The passengers and crew of the lost
steamer were brought down to Newport, where
the female and others were provided for, by the
kindness of the citizens with garments &C. The
Forest Queen arrived here about o'clock Z. NJ.
The night was very dark and foggy. As to the
cause of the collision, or the party blamabe, we
can give no opinion. In many material points,
statements are conflicting.
The Northerner lies in about twenty-five feet
water. She purchased the present spring by
Messrs Darius Cole and A. l.. Kelley her
captain and clerk, for So, 900, and this was her
first trip under the new owners. She was insured
for $4,000. She had on board about fifty tons
of mixed freight. good portion of it was for
Messrs. Beech, Moor IL Co., of Saginaw. All OF
the crew, with the exception of the second en-
gineer, were saved.
