FATAL STEAMBOAT ACCIDENT.

We learn that about midnight of Tuesday last the
Steamer Magnolia of the Lutterloh ne which lett this
place on the afternoon of the day, stopped at
Whitehall landing, Bladen county, some forynlne miles
from Wilmington, to put passenger ashore. While at
the landing, her boiler exploded, making complete
wreck of the boat, and killing and wounding number
of persons The following all the particulars OF the
loss of life that we have been able to learn.
White Persons Kdled.-Capt Stedman, commander
of the boat DIR. Fellows young gentleman from Phil
adephia said to have been raised in Sampson Mr. Ty-
son female from Wilmington, and boy about eight
years old neither names known
CoIOred Persons K1lLed,-Simon, the cook Charles
the Pilot and two or three others-names unknown.
coIored man named Carver or Carter, was MORALLY
wounded and another coored man badly hurt although
he may possibly recover
Mr.. r. S. Lutteroh of Fayetteville was pretty severe
" injured in the shoulder but his situation is not suppo
sed to be dangerous 1t is proper to remark that the
body Of Captain Stedman has not been found, but nc
doubts are entertained of his DEATH 1t is believed thai
some fifteen persons were killed. but accounts are
very meagre Rev. A. P. Repiton of Wilmington, was
on board and made narrow escape. There were some
thirty passengers aboard The boat was valued at $lO
900. No insurance.
p S-We learn that man named George Payman
or Pearman, from Wilmington, was aboard, accompa
nving a CORPSE which he was carrying up to Fayette
Vile for interment The coffin and what it contained
were blown to pieces and the has not been heart
of so that there is too much reason to fear that he also
has been killed.

er opposition presses have expressed or an
other candidate as being stronger and more 10
inroads upon his party than myseif,.as 10 tne
probability of this of course have nothing 10 say
In conclusion TRUST that my political trends as wen
as those of the opposite party who nave already coe
forward to my support will take into consideration the
difficulties that now encompass my path and that tne
will look over the seeming ckeness OF character hereby
exhibited which has been superlnduced and rendered
almost inevitable, by circumstances over which nave
had no control
NV error has been in assuming state OF iacts-or
rather of feeng-to exist that did not exist and upon
that assumption to become candidate; Tor no one can
deny that had wellfounded reason IRON the signs OF
the times to believe in the first place that there would
be no opposition candidate and if so ustable reason
for supposng that as between myself and Democrat
holding different sentiments that the entire opposition
press would throw the whole weight OF their influence
in my behalf.
In this have been mistaken, for the paper quoted
has already expressed determination to support no
Democrat.
In withdrawing allow me to say, that the masses, the
bone and and sinew of the Democracy are becoming
more and more alive to the Importance of the land ques
ton as far as have had the of ascertaining
their real sentiments (which has not been nconsderabe
now stand ready to support any respectable and well
qualified gentleman in favor of Distribution that may be
brought forward regardless of his hitherto political asso
ciations-and in this sentiment most cordially concur
for trust that with it always will be country before
party. .
The opposition press will obige me by publishing thi:
letter.

bag~Whole pages of our Northern exchanges are fill
ed with accounts copied from the London Times, setting
forth the sayings and dongs the occasion of the
rage of the eldest daughter of Queen Victoria with the
future heir of the Prussan Crown Upon the whole it
seems to have been right showey wedding, and the
unchtion with which respected relative, John Bull
dwells upon the incidents and details of affair for
which he has to pay roundy, shows that although he
don't care to give his King or Queen much real power
he is willing to pay pretty literally for nothing but
show. John thinks that anything to be good must be
expensive and certainly his little Queen with her eleven
Children sufficiently costly piece of state furniture
But eyes and thoughts turn rather to two of the
"uncrowned kings " of our own Western world. Qu-
city and without flourish Of trumpets Willard Fillmore
a man who had held power nobler and more substan-
ta than that of any European monarch took to himself
bride last week in Albany New York. Franklin
Pierce, lately President of the United States, but
sovereign in his right, arrives at Madeira with
his sick wife, and they announced they wished to
be announced, simply as Mr.. and Mrs. Pierce. We
need not dwell upon the contrast between the
proud humility Of these men, whose own talents
and energy have made them what they are and
the noisy ceremonial incident to this wedding of
strpngs who had done anything and would
do anything to them from the ranks of the useless
and expensive drOnes of the human hive.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. l3.-The Santa Fe mail has arrived
with dates to the 10th ult
Business was brisk and the general health continued
in good condition.
The Legislature adjourned on the 8th January.
A gold mine has been discovered in the vicinity of
Fort Fillmore
There no palpable demonstration of hostility on
the part of the Utah Indians but the Mormons were e
identity tampering with them.
The o. S. agents had been instructed to act with eau
ton and beray towards them and to use the utmost
endeavor to prevent their alliance with the Mormons
The Santa Fe Gazette advocates the raising of reg
ment OF mounted remen in that Territory to assist in
the Utah expedition stating that the march can be
made from that point to Salt Lake in fifteen days It
also recommends that the renforcemens be sent through
New Mexico describing the route as being much easier
than the northern one with abundance of provisions
forage destitute of canons and be travelled quicker
than Fort Laramie.

The Rat Controversy.

The Commercial insists that the rat that has been
committing depredatons about the Herald Office must
have come from the Journal establishment because the
said rat is represented to be wise and knowedgeabe
rat The reasoning of the Commercial is certainly
plausible
Now, we feel like doing the clever thing and we there
fore say to Market street neghbors that if they,
either of them catch any of rats wandering about
they have our full permission consent and authority to
kill them, and, if at all disposed to indulge in Injuries,
to eat them, roasted, stewed fried hashed with with
out onions as the case may be- Can the spirit of con-
cession go farther?

GUBERNAToRIAL-Our contemporaries generally are
having something to say upon the question of who shall
be the nominee of the Democratic Convention to meet
at Charlotte on the 18th of April Hon. John W. Ellis
and w. w. Holden, ESQ., appear, 50 far to be the Can
didaes for the nomination. that is to say in the State
generally outside of the mountain district which seems
to go unanimously for W. w. Avery, Esq. Chatham,
Wake and Surry, have recommended Mr.. Holden,
the counties composing Craigs district go for Judge
Ellis, as also Davidson and Davie, we presume. We
give to-day the report of the proceedings of meeting
held in Wayne.
We have preferences to express until after the meet
ing of the Charlotte Convention, when shall go in
strong for the nominee taking for granted that no one
but sound Democrat and good and true man will
ceve the nomination We know that those of our CO.
temporares who hare expressed personal preferences
consider them wholly subordinate to that which attaches
to the choice of the party Push on the column and let
the Democracy come up in its strength All that we
have to do is to defend the principles and maintain
the organization of party-hat done, nominees
\can take care of themselves. -

Richardson replied that it had been used in twenty or
thirty thousand cases in the Crmea without accident

slight still there possibility of risk and if he had
