A large number however are tempted to enter the
new Territory for the purpose of specializing in its
rich lands It is difficult to foretel what will be the
result Of the struggle for supremacy between the
free and slave State advocates. If fair OppOrtu-
nifty is extended to Boaads inhabitants to give ex-
preston to their honest sentiments the slave State
men will no doubt succeed in establishing cOnsti-
tuition in accordance with the wishes and interests of
the South, but we have been so often disappointed
hitherto in the management of affairs in this Terri
tory that we look forward with much anxiety to the
future In a late letter from the acting Governor
F. P. STANTON, we find the following:

eat is hauled from the Missouri River; yet notWith-

Most of them come, however, with view to specu-
lation. This brings great deal Of money into the

TERRIBLE STEAMBOAT DIsASTER-The Milwaukee
(Ws.) American publishes letter dated, Oshkosh
July giving the particulars of the explosion of the
steamer Berlin City, and the consequent loss of life
We extract the following:
The most disastrous accident, and we can hardly
call it accident, that happened the inland
waters of our State occurred on the Sd instant on
Lake Butte des Morts, about nine miles distant from
this city. great deal of rivalry has existed and
great deal OF racing has been carried between the
several boats which run on Lake Winnebago and the
waters tributary to it for long time past which is
greatly to be censured The steamers Pearl and Berlin
City were racing, when terrific explosion of the
boiler of the Berlin City took place, blowing the whole
upper part of the steamer into thousand fragments.
Your correspondent was in this city when the Pearl
came in, bringing the scalded and wounded passen-
gers of the Berlin City. But two or three of all on
board escaped without injury. Ayoung Miss Carhart,
who had been attending the female seminary at Ap-
pleton, and, accompanied by her mother, sister and
two nephews, was returning home, was shockingly
scalded from head to foot. The shreks of this poor
girl were terrible to hear as she lay on board the
Pearl. Her life despaired of for time but there
seems now to be chance for her recovery. Her face
will probably be disigured for life.
The mother OF the young lady Mrs. Carhart, was
severely burned, but she forgot it in sympathy for
her daughter Her sister was seated in the back part
of the boat with her two sons. They received no
further injury than being thrown into the water. One
little boy had part of his skull broken in and his
chance of life is considered as doubtful. The clerk
was injured internally, having been thrown with
about twenty-five, and nearly all of the number who
could walk, had their heads or limbs bandaged,
scalded bruised, and bleeding in frightfu manner.
One OF the owners of the boat remarked while was
there that the number of lives lost would probably
never be KNOWN as they had no means of finding out
how many passengers there on board, but that
there were good number, and must have been as
many as twenty killed.

Weather and Crops In Louisiana.
The Baton Rouge Gazette of Saturday last sa

The Baton Rouge Gazette of Saturday last says:
We learn from our friend Mr.. A. Dixon who has
Just canvassed the parish business connected with
Ghe Poiice Jury, that the crops never better.
Ihere is hatterng prospect Of abundant harvest
The West Baton Rouge Sugar Planter of the same
date says
The showers we have had during the past week
have been most welcome, and az the cIouds stiIl
threaten a further deluge, we say "let them come
down." They have been very beneficial to our cane
which stood in need of it.
The Concordia Intelligencer Of Friday says: ..
1t does one good to see the mighty corn crop all
over our southern land From every quarter we hear
Of its luxuriant growth. Indeed it may be said now
that the crop is made beyond danger of failure None
can starve, either of man or beast, while corn ia
abundant, although it will not bring down such
stupendous shower of gold as the cotton and sugar
crops. g.|
The Plaquemine Sentinel of Saturday last has the
following paragraphs:
The rain spoke of last week as being much
needed came down in refreshing showers on satur-
day and Sunday evenings, in Plaquemine and other
portions Of the parish enabling planters to set out
portance to plantations Of all sizes. We have heard
nothing untavorable to the sugar crop, and presume
that it is in fourishng condition. s EW
There are at present two steamboats, being built on
Bayou Plaquemine, for the Crosse Tete and Attaka-
pas trade.
AuS S"auo VaASttC VI Vic lItu las Tile IOlICWln2 !:

but through the day the thermometer has indicated
the usual temperature at this season. We have had

localities it is now completely made, and needs no
