lost as already recorded The iron steamer Tempest,
measuring 1900 tons, sailed from New York February
H. 1857 with of from thirty-fve to forty men,
and was never heard from On the Pacific several fine
steamers have been lost generally of smaller class The
Independence, for instance totally lost with l20
lives and the Tennessee ST. Louis, Yankee Blade, Win
field Scott, and others, became total wrecks.

.The political party which calls itself republican
has had brief reign of year in New York, and the
result upon that State Is announced in the erse and
expressive facts that the State Ia bankrupt that it's
credit is exhausted that its public works again to be
stopped and that its taxes increasing beyond pre-
cedent.
In order to parry the force of these ndubitable facts
the New York Tribune sets up the plea of the baby
act urging that its party is but fifteen months DID, that
cannot Justly be held wholly responsible for the nan-
cia condition of the State This will hardly do Peo-
pie in that State begin to think is about time to turn
their attention towards bleeding New York, and the
border ruans who have damaged it's good name and
abused the confidence reposed in them Bleeding Kansas
will get along very well by itself until after the New
York election notwhsta anding the Tribunes effort to
keep up the hue and cry in that direction, Look at
bleeding New York"
