tertained our citizens with a performance
every evening last week. Large numbers
attended their Concerts. and all, we believe,
were pleased with the entertainment. In
addition to their merits as performers, they
presented a claim to the liberal houses they
received from the fact that the Company

IMMENSE DESTRUCTION.

The breaking up of the ice on the Missis-

twcnty-three valuable steamboats, at ST.
Louis The St. Louis Democrat gives
thrilling account of this event, from which
we copy the following:
Another great disaster has befallen our
city. The dreaded event of the breaking
up of the ice, which for two months gorged
the Mississippi and all its tributary streams,
has come at last, and brought with it a des
truction of our Marine interests, far tran
scending anything that was anticipated
Twenty hours since our lcvce was crowded
with stcamcrs-now, not perfect hull re-

THE KANSAS EMIGRANTS.

We invite attention to the Appeal of
the Kansas Emigrants in days paper
This, we learn, is their last effort for aid
The public meetings on the subject failed
to accomplish the main object for which
they were called, more from a want of con-
tidcnce and a knowledge of the persons who
proposed emigrating, than from any want of
interest in the cause. Now, those who may
be disposed to lend their aid, have an OPP
portunity of understanding the whole sub
irct. At this late day of the question, we
deem it unnecessary to add Il word to show
the Importance To- the South of emigration
at this time to Kansas. \ few voters, say
Il dozen from each of the counties of the
Southern States, would be ample to protect
Southern rights and to thwart the miSchicv-

RAILROAD INcENDIAR1SM.

On Wednesday night last bridge over
a creek a snort distance east of Hillsboro',
a structure about % feet high and 50 in
length. on the y. G.. Central RAILROAD,
was destroyed by firc-and on Saturday
night last an attempt was made to burn Emo
bridge, about two miles west of Hillsboro'.
In both cases, there is no doubt the fire was
communicated by a vile incendiary. In the
last case the fire was fortunately discovered
and cxtingushed before it had made much
progress. The kindling wood was not all
consumed. and the man who had no doubt
prepared it was seen running from the
bridge as persons were approaching. The
success of the last attempt would have in
volvcd the Company i'll a serious loss, as
the bridge Is a large and costly one. There
is no detention of the cars by the loss of
the bridge destroyed. A substantial trestle
structure has been erected. on which the
train safely passes over.
