State COnNenfiOn,

The democratic State convention, 10 select candidate for Governor, and to appoint elector for the State, and delegates to the national con ventlon, will meet at Little Rock on the frs Monday in next mOnth-Mav.
 As yet, we have heard of no name in coDnec tion with the office Governor, other than tha of the present incumbent-E. \. CONWAY Many of the counties in various portions of tn State have held their county conventions: ant one expression of opinion seems to have actu ated all-E. N CONWAY is "the man." An well does he deserve this at the hands of Iii fellow citizens. For now nearly four years ha the affairs of the State devolved upon him, an hls duties have been met and discharged, wit a promptness and determination equal to hi responsibilities. The confidence of the grea mass of the people in his ability and fitness fo his station has not diminiShed-but increased and they will manifest their appreciation of h worth, by an overwhelming majority ate th August election, should he be, as no doubt h Will be- the nominee of the democratic party for reelection to the office he now holds. W are the more confident in this-in the popular ty ot Gov. Conway-in the correctness of h gubernatorial policy-in the wisdom of h course towards the Real Estate bank-from tn abuse heaped upon him by the opposition pres Being unable to detect an error, or pick q flaw in the manner in which he has discharged h arduous duties, they descend to low vulgarit and slang phrases, hoping thereby to renderth Governor as perfectly ridiculous in the eyes the public as themselves are. But they vii fail, even with their abuse ten times multiple, to effect this.
 It Is our intention to attend the State col vention, and it will afford us great pleasure designate the choice of some GOO voters--dl mocrats good and true-in voting for the nom nation of E. N Conway for Governor. -Arkq delphia IraUeler.

Further Particulars of the Explosion O
 the Steamer 1sptrnnOIS

From the Louisville Courier, of the 3lsl ut We glean the following additional particulars the destruction of this boat at Pomeroy, Chi, on the 18th ut:
 From the officers of the Fairy Queen, tha passed down soon after the occurrence. we lear that one of the boilers exploded, causing tn deaths ot eight or nine persons including E. ( iiaziett, the captain and part owner of the boat tie had entered the wash room a few second before the accident occurred, and was picke up on the lower deck near the capstan, so bad ly injured that he died in a short time. Tn porter, of this city, a passenger named Ro berts, jeweler from Pittsburg, and Mir Georg Barrett, barkeeper, were in the wash house adjoining the hall. The latter was slight bruised on the head. .The other two die shortly afterwards A German and his sol passengers of the name of Metz, killed. son of Rev. Mir. Bryan, of Pttsburg, killed I. A. North, of Galveston, Texas, killed Deck hand, killed. Two firemen missing. an several passengers slightly scalded.
 The accident is attributed to a defect in tl iron in the boiler, or that it was too thin. Tv sheets m the center were torn to atoms. Th boilers when tested at Pittsburg stood hydro tatlc test of 2lO pounds, while she was onl working 10 pounds when it exploded. Th only damage to the boat is the injury to tn boiler, and tearing away portion of the foo ot the hall. She was lowed to Cincinnati b one of the Pomeroy tow boats.
 "The Metropolis was an entire new boat built at Plttsburg, together with the Metrop0 lltan, another new boat, that arrived here yes terday on her way to St. Louis, under the su perintendence of Capt. Hazlett The boiler and engines of both boats were built by th same parties, and to guard against further dis asters the boilers should be most rigidly exs mined again."

Letter from Hempstead.

MR. EDIToR:-The communication of "Si- lex," from Montgomery county, published in your paper of the 25th ult., in relation to the congressional nominee, is calculated to do great injustice to our present representative, Col. Rust; and l. therefore, notice it briefly. "Si- lex" admits that Col. Rust has shown him. self worthy of the confidence and support of his constituents, so far as his official course has gone; but because Col. Warren was "preter- mitted by the Princeton convention, it is but fair that Col. Rust should suffer like preter- mission. If Col Rust had caused that preter- mission by taking advantage of the absence of Col. Warren, then would there be some ius- tice and reason ill the assertions of "Siex.' But when it is known to every voter in the district that Col. Rust did not, in the absence of Col. Warren, visit a county in the district for the purpose of securing the nomination. that he did not seek it and did not expect it, and was absent from the State when he recev- ed the nomination, the supposed injustice done to Col. Warren, in the imagination of 'Silex,' dwindles into perfect insignifcance.
 
 The high stand taken by Col Rust in the pre- sent Congress has subjected him to much vtupe- ration and abuse by the enemies of the south ern States, and failure to nominate him, un- der the circumstances, which have and now surround him, since he entered upon the high and responsible duties of his station, would be indeed injustice to him as well as to the peo- pie he has so faithfully represented. If injus- tice has been done Col. Warren, and that in- justice not procured at the instance or by the influence of Col. Rust, where is the justice or reason in rehecting upon Col. Rust and the State injustice to repair that done Col. Warren?
 But Rust is now, and has been for months past, absent from the State dischargng his duty as the representative of the people of the se- cond congressional district, and has had nc time or opportunity to canvass before the peo pie his claims to their confidence and support l The people, however have not been inattentivt to his efforts in vindicating their rights, anC maintaining them, both physically and men tally; and will in justice t. him as well as them selves, re-nomnate him for his present posi- | ton, without intending, however, to do inius tce to another, or hold in less grateful remem brauce the services of others, who have tough and conquered Sam.

"Americanism'' at the North.

In black republic caucus at Washington, Mr. Campbell of Pennsylvania, said the Ameri- can feeling was very strong in the central and eastern portions of that State and to carry Penn sylvania its aid must be secured to the anti Nebraskaites. He looked with the most ardent hopes to see such union effected.
 The brethren (know Nothing and republi- can) held a meeting in Albany, New York, some days ago. MT. Fillmore was thus de- tended by Rifle anti-savery Amercan:'
 MT. Northup rose t, defend Mir. Fillmore. He (Mr. N.) was an American. He had paid much and suffered much against slavery. He ,c0uld no0 subscribe rI7e for Kansas, but he would not hear Fillmore abused. He was not an abolitonst, but he was opposed to the ex- tension of saVery'

It is idle for Judge GreenwOod's friends to

It is idle for Judge Greenwood's friends to sent particular part of the district-a true man will represent aU the district honestly and lmpartially, and if he be true man, 1t Is imma- terial from what county heis chosen. It IS idle also for Judge Greenwood's friends to say that he has c1alms upon the party, and that it would be ungrateful not to nominate him. Because he has been twice honored by the democracy, can he claim third honors as matter of right? Judge Greenwood has already been amply re- warded for his services, about which his friends write so much. But Hindman, who has done infinitely more than Judge Greenwood against Know Nottingham, has received no reward at all. He happens to live in eastern Arhansos- besides he is young man, and moreover he is not an oM settler.
 Last summer, when the Know Nothngs had a majority in the State, and Hndman went forth gallantly to do battle for the party, no one then thought it a sin for him to live in the east, no one condemned him for his youth, no
 
 settler. If past services be the test, his claims are much stronger than Judge Greenwood's, for he was friend in time of need. If ability to do service hereofter be the test, he still has the advantage, for he will be present during the canvass. If Greenwood is nominated, we thereby agree to sacrifice the benefits of an ac- tive canvass; ought his friends to ask so great a sacrifice of the party? As democrats loving principle better than men, will they not with draw Greenwood's name and nominate Hind man by atclan1ation2
 It has been generously proposed that Hind- man shall be elector and Greenwood congress- mum; in other words, that Hindman shall dc the a0orh and Greenwood shall have the office Ii Hlndman Is old enough to be clector he is old enough to be representative. If he has been long enough in the State to be one of the electoral college, he has been here long enough to have seat in Congress- If his residence in eastern Arkansas does not disqualify him from doing the work it ought not to deprive him of the reward. This generous proposition IS inconsistent with the other positions taken bv Judge Greenwood's friends. They should be just as we'll as generous.
 If the good of democracy alone is considered, l4ndman ought to be nominated, for all admit that he will do the cause more service in the canvass than Greenwood

The Missing Steamer Pacific.

There appears to be very little doubt that the Cathalic Bishop of Hartford, Conn., was a passenger on this missing, and, in all probabil- ty lost steamer. He had been on journey to the continent and Ireland. The Boston Pilot states that letter has been received from a friend of his in Ireland, saying that he was to sail on the day the Pacific sailed from Liver pool. The New York Commercial induloes the hope that although the steamer may be lost, her passengers and crew may be safe as she had boats enough to hold all who were on board in case it became necessary to abandon her. It instances the case of the ship Jupiter which, some fifty years ago, on tn. passage rom London to New York, was struck by an iceberg and soon after sunk. It says:
 At that period the ships best equipped only carried long boat and a jolly -boat-the one lashed Tn the centre of the ship, the other hung on davts at the stern. The Jupeter struck at an early hour in the morning, when almost all the steerage passengers were below asleep- No alarm was given to those asleep in the steer age The number altogether, however, was small, compared with that carried by passen- ger ships of the present day, As soon as the
