D65- The following are the particulars
concerning the sinking of the steamer Ma
rengo, as taken from the st. Louis Repub
licda: |.t
The steamer Marengo, Captain McCallam
bound from Pittsburgh for this port, with
large assorted cargo, struck snag and sunk
at Rollers landing, seventy miles below
this city. The accident occurred at f0ul
O'Clock, p. NJ, on Friday. The officers o
the Mnnehaha saw the Marengo strike, ant
J soon ascertnined that she was in trouble
The Mianehahd, being about a mile behind
soon came up, and was hailed by the Mdren
90 for assistance.
The sinking boat was run out on bar OF
the Illinois shore, and was considerably
time in finding a resting place on the bot
, tom, which proves that the break in he
hull cannot be very large. She struck for
> ward Of the boilers on the starboard side
and eventually settled down in nine fee
; water astern and seven feet nj her bow. 2
= She lies perfectly straight, and, it i
thought, can be raised without difficulty
The MinnehaEa took off her passengers
about forty in number, cabin and deck-anc
twenty head of horses and FIVE wagons-al
| of which were landed here in safety. 4
large amount of moving plumber was ais
! saved and brought up by the Manehaha.
9 DI- The st. Louis Republicans, of tn
/. 10Th, contains the following particular
concerning the burning of the steamer Bru
nette; t'..I-
E At between two and three o'clock ycster
day morning, the shades of Bloody ISLAM
were illuminated by steamboat fire. TIL
!, burning boat was the old and well know
: Brunette, which commenced her career il
, the Illinois river, aud ended it in the 81
q Louis and Cairo trade. The Brunette h.r
been idle for some weeks past, portion G
which time was spent on the ways at C,.ron
: delet, where she underwent repairs. TIL
: burning of the Brunette was, without doub
Q the work Of an incendiary, and had bee
c premeditated for some time. The Bruaeti
0 was about seven years old, and almost worth
less as steamboat. Her latter days wer
o spent in the Chester and Cairo trade, and i
: towing and jobbing. She was owned b.
q Philip Walther, and, we understand, wa
a insured for 5000.
