n A correspondent of the {. Brownsville Echo'' writing over the signature of 'SBRowNs- v1LLE," labors hard to create the impression that we are opposed to the prosperity of his town also, that we charge the (. citizens of Prairie township with plundering the county treasury" Both positions of this " new ac- tor on the stage' are alike mistaken notions the carnations, doubtless, from the brain of one who cannot understand what he reads. We have ever maintained that the great mass of the citizens of Prairie township were good citizens, and credit to the county and the State-but we have disagreed with the de- signing few, and shall continue to do so, until they cease to do wrong and learn to do right. The attempt to place us in the position of hav- ing abused the people of Brownsville or of Prairie township as a mass, is calculated to make this 'F very new" correspondent of the 6 Echo'' the laughing of every one who has read the CITIZEN.
 This correspondent of the C Echo" closes his "very smart1 ebulition by comparing us to wood -pecker. True, we are one of the !" red-headed sort" and have no reason to complain thereof-in truth, we are right glad of it. There is no danger of our complex ion placing us in the position of anindividual who contributes for the !"

 FURTHER PARTICULARS OF THE Loss OF THE ST. NIcHoLAs.-From the Hele- na Southron we gather some further par ticuars of the St Nicholas disaster.
 Mir. A. J. French, who lived near the scene of the accident, took his sklff and followed the wreck and picked up six per- sons. He carried James Woods, the cook of the boat, to Helena, where he died on Monday evening. Woods was caught in the wreck and was so near the flames as to have his hair burnt off his head, but he could reach the water and with hls hand kept dashing water on his scorching hair, and by this means pro- longed his life until he was taken out by MT. French. He was buried at Helena on Tuesday.
 The wreck of the St. Nicholas was seen to float by Helena at half past ten o'colcll on Monday morning, at which time it was burning with great brightness. The hull of the boat is said to have lodg- ed some ten miles below Helena, at Delta Island
 The Southron understands that there
 
 was tall young man who lived in Phil lips county, Arkansas, talking to the clerk at the moment of the explosion, and as he was not seen afterwards it is supposed that he was lost. The Southron has not the most distant idea who the individual was.
 The Memphis .fualanche of the 25th ult., says No further advices from the wreck o the ill.fated St. Nicholas have reached us The hope entertained by many of the safety of several passengers, whose fate k not certainly known, is fast fading away It is presumed that if any others thar those already reported were saved intell gence of the same would have reached this city, before the present time, and a no tidings have been received, the wors fears of the friends of the victims ot thl: fearful calamity are likely to be realized MT. B. V. Cline, the clerk Of the ot Nicholas, died at 3 o'clock on Tuesday His remains were deposited in the ceno taph at Morris Cemetery, to await trans portaton to St. Louis, where his tathe and other me .nbers of his family reside
 MT. B. B. Stuart was in most preca rious condition last night, and it is great feared that he cannot long survive his 1T Ijuries.
 Most of the sufferers who were brougt to Memphis are recovering, but it thought several will die from their sever scalds and wounds.

HANNIBAL, Mo-, March 7th, 1859.
nv DEAR DIck.-It 10 now twelve days
since left the beautiful and thriving city OF
Davenport, since which time have visited
several Missouri towns and one paper city
in bleeding Kansas, known only by the
cognoman of Belmont. 1t Is much more
mount than Bell, as it is laid out on side
hill with an angle Of $50 from the west
bank Of the Missouri, and some miles above
St. Joseph. l wish its proprietors, Messrs.
Lawn and Stewart, much success a. they
are both very gentlemanly men, and deserve
some patronage. presume you are aware
of the completion Of the Hannibal and st.
Joseph Railroad and also Of the grand cele-
bration given by the citizens of the latter
city on the 22d ult. had the honor of be-
ing among the number, and had . pretty
good time during my stay in St Joe. /
made particular enquiries about business.
corner lots and the prospects generally. The
citizens have the opinion that st. Joe will
yet be the largest city on Missouri. and al.
ready hold corner lots at from $4OO to $500
per front foot. The true course to kill it, II
there were no other course-for my part
think there are several reasons why it is
soon to be eclipsed. The first is, the country
round is poorly settled, and the emigration
is what is called carpet bag one then the
great and final stroke will be the completion
of the M. d NJ. r. r. which trust will be
put through ere long. twill certainly pay
better than any other western road, as all
eastern merchandise can be laid down at
Council Bluffs for nearly the same money as
it can be brought to this point on the Miss-
issippi. Then the freights up the Missouri
are very much higher than down the river.
consequently all points above St Joe would
have their goods come by Davenport. and
the travel would certainly 60 the same way.
and spend q day or more at the Burtis
House, and leave with the satisfsction that
Davenport could boast Of having the very
best hotel and cleverest landlord in the
western country, which is certainly the case,
so far a. my extensive experience goes.
would say to any Of our friends who
may intend to 60 to Pixies Peak. to supply
themselves with their groceries, dry goods,
&C., de-, in Davenport. In fact. they might
load up their teams and make enough Of
their goods at the Missouri Ito pay for their
expenses across Iowa-such is the fact-as
the back country Of Missouri have raised
nothing the past year, and the people Of the
various towns have q very exalted opinion
of the value of their various wares.
In conclusion will say that think Dav.
export is better off to-day than any other
town on the Mississippi above st. Louis
having large population Of good moral
energetic citizens. who puts their shoulders
to the wheel-together being situated in
the most productive county in the State
trust this year may close with better sue
cess to the hardy and industrious farmer
and that they will be repaid for their heavy
losses the past two year.
With best wishes for our city and citi
xens. Yours, H. b. E
