The Lost steamship Pacihc-The Bottle
Picked In.

Some time since we published an account of
the discovery of a bottle, which bad float ed
as hore on the coast of France, con tanning a
paper, purporting to have been written by a
passenger on board the Collins steamship Paci-
fic, just she was going down. This story
was supposed to be a hoax; but there is anoth-
er chapter of it, The editor of the Norwalk
(Oonn.) Gazette, believing the paper was writ
ten by Legrand Smith, of Norwalk passen-
ger on the steamer, wrote at on ce to a friend
in Paris, DR.. Evans, to make inquiries about
the affair, and especially the handwriting of
the note found. By the Africa an answer was
received, in which DR.. Evans says that he feels
there can be no doubt about it. He had OBJ
tanned possession of the slip of paper found,
and states the circumstances as follows:
Il was Cd professional visit to the En-
press the other day; and in conversation mem

intensely interested. The Emperor entering

Emperor, who is a man of noble heart, at once
entered into the details of the subject. Upon

him exceedingly, and he would Immediately

Shall X nnsss be N mi tied into the Union
as n slave STATED

Kansas having formed and adopted a
constitution recognizing and establishing
slavery as a domestic institution" will
apply to Congress, at its present session
for admission into the Union as q State.
Shall her petition be received and granted,
or shall it by rejected? Stripped of all
surplusage, the network of abolitionists
and place hunters, in which the subject has
been encased, this is the pith and marrow
of the Kansas controversy at present.
This is the real questionable issue which
Congress is to determine-and upon which
the country is TO render its judgment. How
shall it be decided? 1t gives us satisfac-
ton to learn from Washington that our
friends are confident of success-that, not
outstanding the opposition from unexpect-
ed sources, Kansas will be admitted into
the Union as a slave State We are as
sured that we may rely upon this result.
This is "a contamination most devoutly to
be wished" From the first inception of
the Kansas controversy, there have been
Southern men strong in the belief that
the repeal of the Missouri restriction would
give her to the South. They have all the
while had to contend against the views of
others less bold aud constant amongst us,
who adhered to the theory that the eli
mate and productions of the territory, rem.
dered it an Improbable field for the en-
ployment Of slave labor. and therefore,
slavery would not and could not go there.
We trust these timid and theoretical gen.
tlemen. may see in the present aspect Of
Kansas affairs, that which shall give them
hereafter fuller faith in Southern progress
siveness, and add to their courage aud firm
ness in sustaining the rights of the South

DIstressIng Fire in Brooklyn.

@'E" AN''At ooo. ~.
Between and o'clock this afterGoon a fire
broke out in the large public school at the
corner of Concord and Navy streets, Brook
lyn, in which were 800 children. A most
agonizng scene took place. The teachers in
one of the rooms, in consequence of the in
creased heat, not knowing the cause, threw uP
the windows and it was not until the smoke
poured into the room that the alarming fact
of the building being on fire was suspected. A
stampede ensued among the alarmed children,
who uttered the most agoniZing cries. Many
were thrown from the windows aud escaped
injury by being caught in the arms of firemen
and Others. Seven children were suffocated,
or killed by being trampled upon in the rush
for the various stsirways at the first alarm.
1t is believed that none were burned. Several
other children were badly Injured, havin their
backs broken. The teachers acted with the
greatest frmness, remaining in their rooms
until all the children were got out.
Many exaggerated reports are in oircnla-
tion in relation To the number Of children kill
led and injured, but it is believed that the
dead do not exceed seven. The school house
was nearly new, aud was considered the most
perfect and thorough built OF any in the city.
IL WAS four stories high, and covered large
extent of ground. The fire commenced i'm
mediately after o'clock, and by sunset the
the destruc ion was complete, the walls being
level with the ground.

prospect of completing the twenty miles of the

OPINIoN.-A lady in the Newburyport Herald
says:
So, we will say few words on hoops.
Don't call us bear, fair readers. nor throw
away this paper in disgust, for we are not
about to join orr brother knights of the Quill
IN their crusade against crinolioe; but Don
QuIxote-like, we will espouse the cause of dis
tfessed damsels, though we ''face a frowning
world" We hereby add an article to our con-
fesslon of faith We believe in hoops. Mind.
we say hoops, plural number Deliver us
from that abominable, single, hogs head hoop,
whlch many ladies wear about knee high,
showing Its entire shape, through a single
1imsy skirt, dragging down by its weight the
dress TO the shape of a cone, while the part of
tie skirt below the hoops flaps winds and
reefs around it in every wind that blows Not
much Improvement is the addition of one or
two other hoops, unless they are graduated
In size according TO the height of the wearer
aud covered by skirts of sufficient thickness
to hide the skeleton, than which nothing could
De more hideous, unless, it were veritable
skeleton from the grave yard.
The only skirt that looks uniformly graceful
Is that made of series of rattan, whalebone
or brass hoops, extending from the waist to
the feet gradually Increasing in size with that
grace1ui swell that gives To the dress the airy
contour of blue bell; preserving that gold
en- mean In regard To circumference, that mod
esty and good taste will ever dictate. Tine
hoops in this skirt should be so near together
that they will lose their individuality. and
make no sign" underneath thinest SUNNI er
dress; for herein lies the advantage and whole
philosophy of the hoop movement. inasmuch
as IL allows one skirt to give that funess and
grace which has hitherto been attainable only
by half dozen.
After all, the genuine crinoine is the thing,
WHICH, Its name is kind of halr
cioth which by its own innate virtue, without
the and of hoops, will preserve its elasticity
and inflated character, without the awkward
ness that at times is iDseparable from its
humble imitatOr. Tue expense isth he only OBJ
lection 10 its general adoption, which, for the
ladies sake, we hope may be soon removed.
