Another Dreadful Steamboat
Calamity..lO Lives Lost.

We again record another fearful calamity
the total loss, by fire, of the steamboat Col.
Edwards. and with her the loss of not less than
twenty lives. This dreadful disaster took place
early Saturday morning last, the 18th inst, at
Borland's wood landing, about nine miles be-
low Alexandra, Red River. ID tt-.s..f...e
The Edwards was from Carolina and Hurri-
cane Bluff, upper Red River, and bound to this
port. She had on board at the time of the dis
aster, about eighty passengers, seventy-fve in
the cabin, most OF them from Shreveport and
above. Her cargo consisted of 100 bales of
cotton, ffty-five head OF cattle, and seven
horses, all Of which is total loss, with the
boat. a.-... ..,...a.. 10 ...5,..r.....
The fire broke out at half-past o'clock in
the morning, opposite the boilers. It's origin
is unknown. The Edwards was tied to the bank
and taking on wood at the time. The progress
of the fire was fearfully rapid. Within the
space Of three minutes the whole boat was en-
veloped in flames. The only way of escape
was by jumping into the river from the after
part Of the boat, and thus many more lives
were lost The number is believed to be at
least twenty.-N. O. Picayune, Dec. IA. Il,

CO We clip the following notice of ]. W..
Delaplane, Esq, from the last number of the
Iowa Citizen. It is the same chap to whom,
it will be recollected, we alluded few
weeks ago. Pass him around:
j. w. Delaplane.
Many years ago IN Ohio, we became ac-
quainted with very respectable family by
the lame Of Delaplans. Among the younger
members was Joshua w. Delaplane. He was
schoolmate Of ours, and was a progresses
ing, promising boy. He was about eighteen
years of age when we last saw him before he
turned up in Des Moines. He was then con-
sidered reputable young man. During the
session Of the District Court he made his ap .
pearance in this city; and presuming upon our
previous acquaintance, he selected us as his
victim. Without suspecting that he had grown
to be the most incorrigible villain on earth, we
took pleasure in introducing him to our friends,
and assisted him materially in obtaining IL
cense to practice law. In our simplicity, we
favorsbly mentioned him in the Citizen. The
result was, that he hired a horse and buggy of
Mr.. Holmes. Of this place, and decamped
without meeting his liabilities at the public
house. The horse and buggy were found af-
terward at Tndianola, but the young attorney
was missing. -Gsa ~
We have been profoundly vexea and morti-
feel at having suffered ourself TO be so egregi.
ansly deceived by this itinerant scoundrel /;
and we would have taken the liberty weeks
since. to give him notice like the present,
but were deferred by the consciousness that
we had really pufed him before.

The Utah Expedition.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S

DSSs ~Cs
The War department to-day received official
dispatches from the headquarters OF the army
Of Utah near the mouth Of Hams fork, Nov.
9Th. Col. Johnson states that Col. Smith reach
ed there Nov. 3d. The march was slow, eleven
miles day. The trains, including the settlers
and merchants, distined for Salt Lake, which
he would no, allow to 60 on, occupy as close
an order asthey could be made to travel; the
space of from FIVE to six miles. No molestation
whatever was attempted by the Mormons,
which may be attributed to the pres ence of the
cavarly, and .he Indians dispositions and vigil
lance Of Col. Smith. On Nov. 4th, Col. J.,
was to march on Fort Bridges, and dislodge
any force he might find there, and wait the ap-
pearance of Col Cook, when as the approach
OF winter was 100 near to attempt the passage
OF the march IN the range of mountains with a
probability OF success, he would seize on the
district mentioned in his letter from the South,
and occupy it TIL an advance shall be deemed
practicable. 4! r5 . IS

senseless with his club. Let the beating be
continued for few minutes upon the head OF
The Little Giant after he shall have fallen up
on the floor, SO that he may be fully s.sub-

The plan, if thoroughly carried out, would
be practical, chivalric, safe-(this point Mr..
