EXPLOSION AND BURNING. OF THE Col. Cross
NINA most melancholy and dreadful disaster
happened to the steamer Col. Crossman, Son:
Thursday nj ght last, about eight o'clock, when
off New Madrid, Missouri, by which the boat;
cargo, and many lives were lost 81 . = 2s M
The Col. Crossman was Missouri river boat

New Orleans to St. Louis, with valuable cargo
and about one hundred and twenty-five passen.
gers, exclusive of her officers and crew. When
opposite New Madrid, on Thursday night, her
doctor boiler exploded, without however causing
any injury to those on board, but the accident
rendered the machinery totally unmanageable,
and the boat taking fire Immediately, the flames
spread with such rapidity as to envelope the
whole vessel in sheet of FIRE. The people of
the town seeing the accident, put in skias,
and succeeded in saving about one hundred and
twenty-five persons. 1t was estimated by the,
people who assisted in rescuing the passengers,
that from twenty to fifty persons lost their lives
by the fire or from drowning Many. of those
who were rescued from the water were badly
frostbitten.
The Southerner arrived at the scene of the
accident before the Crossman was entirely con.
sumed, but too late to render any material assis-
tance. The steamer was burned to the waters
edge. The Crossman was comparatively new
boat, having come off the stocks about two years
ago, and was valued at about $40,000.-Aem:

We conclude this week tho publication Of Mr.
GRrea's speech on the Bank Question, as delivered
by that gentleman during the last session OF the South
Carolina Legislature. Those who have read it, will
have secn that it is credtabe to its author IN many
respects The debate which elected no marked
interest," although there sundry speeches Of more
or les. merit which tho occasion called forth. Among
these Mr. GRRGG's was not the least effective. Pre-
cedcd byareputaon for eSportncss in money matters
his yicws were looked for with interest; nor did no
fail to meet the expectations of his hearers In our
own opinion, this effort is the best production OF r.

oueuce and consistent reasoning, to his Rail load

has recently decided that if Postmastcrs do not
give publishers of newspapers notice that their
papers remain in the postottice without being ia

they are liable for pay.
Speaking of newspapers, we observe that Judge
Closer, of the Probate Court of Windsor, w.,
has decided that y good family newspaper is one
of the necessary articles for the support of fam
lily, during the settlement Of an estate, and as
such, the administrator, in insolvent estates, is
justifable in paying for one-the widow to make
her own selection Of what paper she will have
