THE ACCIDENT To THE STEAMER BoErsSIA.-Ihe
recent accident to the steamer Borssn says the New
York Evening Post Of the 2Sth ut has again de-
monStratcd the Importance OF dividing steamships
into commandments. On her recent passage from
Hamburg the BorusSia broke on the 18th inst. two
of her propeller langcs by coming i'll contact with
some unknown object.
The Irregular motion Of the propeller shaft caused
by working with only one iange gradually ground
away one side of the stuting box, so that on the
evening Of the 10th inst. the stuting box Slid out
causing the water to enter freely i'll the lower after
compartment. AS matter Of precnutlon the pumps
were employed to their full extent, but the water at
one time was sufficiently high to test fully the
strength Of the compartments, which proved entirely
adequate.
The lower atcrc compartment, containing besides
the mailroon, only coal and cargo, Or baggage, Was
damaged and only the latter and sample parcels IN
jured by water
The following are the dimensions of the BorusSi ::

BAsuFrL MES.-We never saw a genuinely bash
ful man who was not the sonl of honor. Though
such may blush and stammer, and shrug their shoul
ders awkwardy, unable to throw forth with ease the
thoughts that they would express, yet commend them
to us for friends
There are fine touches in their characters that time
will mellow and bring out perceptions as delicate as
the faintest tint is to the unioded rose and their
thoughts are none the less refined and beautiful, that
they do not flow with the impetuosity of the shallow
strcamlct.
We are astonishcd that such men are not appre-
ciated--that ladies with really good hearts and cult
tivated inteects, will reward the gallant Sir Mus
tachio Bminless with smiles and attention, because
he eau fold shawl gracefully and handy compli-
lncnts with Partisan elegance, while they will not
condescena to look upon the worhier man, who feels
for them a reverence 50 great that his every mute
glance is worship.

WEATHER AND CRops IN Eastern TEXAS.-The
Rtsk Enquirer Of the 18th ut has the following under
the above caption:
In the last ten days We have had one Or two light
frosts and the past week has been and consid-
erably mixed with sunshine and rain. The wet wealth
er will probably rctard the cotton picking in this
neighborhood. Before the frost, the cotton fields
looked as though it was about the middle of Septem-
berthe plants healthy and vigorous, and filled with
blossoms and bos. The drouth in the latter part Of
August and September, it was supposed, would cut
off the crop near one-haf the latter rains however,
revived the hopes OF planters-what effect the frosts
have had we have not learned, but thisS fine weather
for the maturing Of the bolls add if it lasts the crop
will be decidedly better than expected.

LOUISIANA INTELLIGENCE. - We learn from the
Shreveport Gazette that Capt G. A. Crook, Of the
steamer Union, died short time since at Alexandria.
The Shreveport Southwestern, Of the 10Th ult., has
the following items:
The river continues to recede slowly but there is
sufficient water to afford fine navigation for medium
sized boats throu g to New Orleans. Since our last
the N. L. Daugherty has arrived from Alexandria
and the Hope, Planter, Union, Linden and Linda
from New Orleans.
We had several heavy showers Of rain during Sun
day aud the night following. The boats from below
report having encountered heavy rains, which will
tend to keep the river up.
The Natchitoches Chronicle, of the 18th ult has
the following in relation to the crops
The cotton crop has been 50 far gathered, that
pretty accurate calculation now be made Of the
yield. From reliable information from all parts Of
the parish it is certain that not much over the half
of an average crop has been made this season. The
planters have had to contend with backward spring
"A summer OF repeated drOughtS and carly rosts,
The roStS of last week have greatly injured the last

Crops in the Kanawha Valley.

After very long cold. dry and back
ward Spring, we have had, for a. few
days past, warm and refreshing showers,
and vegetation gives strong indication Of
the approach Of Summer. The wheat
crop of this beautiful valley was never
more promising than at present; but
fears are entertained by the farmers that
It will lodge. We hear great complaint
Of the corn crop; many Of the farmers are
furrowing out their ground and planting
the second time. 1t is thought that the
corn was injured by remaining in the
shock during the Winter. Tobacco
well, but win be late owing
TO late sowing. The planters are busily
engaged IN stripping and prizing at pre-.
sent, as this is the first good season they
have had since last Fall. We see tina,
some Of our planters are still shipping
their tobacco to Cincinnati. Why is i
50? Should you not encourage home
industry? Then why not ship to Rich.
mond, the best tobacco market in the
United States. Permit US again to call
your attention to the card in another col,

In another column reference is made'to
compromise between Mr.. WHAT and Mr..

type, we learn that Mr.. Montague boldly
acknowledges that he is to have the de-
putty clerkship, providing Mr.. Watt is
elected. We know not whether Mr.. w:
denies that he has entered into such an
arrangement or not, but one thing is GER
tain, and that is, unless Mr.. Watt comes
out and denies the report, he cannot ex-
Pect good Democrat to vote for him.
When a. Democrat has to make compro-
misses with his political enemies in order
to obtain an Office, it is time all true Dem

M. IBuehanan al Home.

A correspondent OF the Baltimore
Sun, writing from Lancaster, gives a
glowing account of the reception OF
Mr.. Buchanan al his own home
This correspondent says:
1T is impossible to describe the
scene when he reached Lancaster
A vast concourse of citizens met him
on the borders ofthe city, and amid
the firing ofcannon,, the Ginning Of
church bells, the strains Of music and
the waving Of handkerchiefs from the
ladies, he was escorted to Central
Square, whore he was. welcomed by
the venerable DR.. Hechlenburg, with
great feeling. Mr.. Buchanan's an
swer, in his clear, metallic, and pen.
etrating voice, was hearl by thou
sands with the utmost satisfaction
and delight, amid a display Of enthu-
siasm such al have seldom or never
witnessed before. HE said, changes
and time have done their work upon
yoar happy community; we have pros
pered in our basket and in our store;
cities are advancing with gigantic
strides in wealth and in popula-
ton; and some who were here when
left, have gone TO the realms Of death
But thank God, our Unionstill stands;
our constitution survives, as strong
in the affections of the people; we are
the wonder Of all nations. Never let
US forget our thrice-happy lot. Never
let us cease to cherish our free insti-
tutions. If We do, I'VE shall become
the contempt of all liberal men, and
furnish TO despots a new argument
that man is not tit for self-govern-
ment. 49, II ~
