S"aihcr 81 mary snHh-Boat Il Total Loss.
BY the steamer VIM. Campbell, in vestcr-
day evening from Omaha. we learn that the
steamer St. Mary, Capt. Blythe Weaver, one
Of the Railroad packets plying between tn $
city and Council Bluffs, which left hero on
Saturday night, run upon IA snay on Sunday
about o'clock, PM. near Ii ,mme's Land
ing, and was so damaged as to make i, nee
essary to run her on the nearest bar Cant.
Weaver was himself at the wheel when the
accident occurred. 1t was soon ascertaincd
that she was bu .ly damaged, and has since
broken in two. The boat is of course Il to-
tai loss.
The Mary was freighted chiefly for Ne
braSka City and Omaha. Her cargo was
nearly all taken Of by the ferry boat St. Ste
phen; and with the exception of some hard
ware in the hold and ottcr heavy goods the
loss will be small
The ST. Mary belonged to Capt. Cabbell,
of Qnncy, H., and was an old though a
good boat. She valued at from ST.. 900
to $4,000, and was insured, VIC learn for
Sll 900, in Pittsburgh Offices.
The Campbell brought down the furni,nre
of the St. Mary and her passengers to the
first landing below, where they will await an
upward bound boat. The St. Stephen will
carry her freight to the town of that name
to await re-shi pment.
This loss leaves the line above here bro-
ken, and will, unless Immediately repaired,
work much inconvenience to the upper coun-
try people, with whom these packets are now
indispensable. 1t IS said another boat will
be put on at once.
We learn that The river is in terrible fix,

in so deplorable state. The most careful

Sinie GnYernment In NehrasLa

The St. Louis Daily Bulletin, says " the
people Of Southern Nebraska, despairins OF
success in securing annexation to Kansas,
and determined to rid themselves of their
territorial swaddling clothes, have set on
foot an active movement FOR the orsanza-
ton Of State government, and it is said,
have prevailed upon the Governor to call Il
special session OF the Legislature, that the
work may be commenced in the regular way.
They intend to apply for admission at the
opening of Congress, along with Kansas"
This will be ne,cs indeed, to the people Of
Nebraska. No such movement has been set
on toot-the bulletins sources of inforna-
ton, must, therefore, be rather unreliable.

THE SEAMRx's Friend soc1HrY Of this

city, though yet in its infancy, have already eff
fected vast deal of good for the poor sailors who
visit our port, as we'll for the ch dren of those
who reside in Richmond. Under the ministrs-

to see nifty or sixty of those hardy sops of the

Sunday Schools are among the nobiest and most
praseworthy of human institutions, and all who
can do so, should gladly lend their aid in building
them up aud sustaining them.
There is yet another step to be taken by this
Society, to make it what il should be- aud that is
to build 6 neat and substantial "Bethel" for
sailors to worship in. The house now used is q
borrowed one, and besides, is too small for he

oourt for this city, Jadge Meredith, Yesterday
moInlog. gave his opinion at length on thu s.de.

.,me aIter this, the accused was examined before
the Mayor and remsnded to an examining Court
OF Justices, and by that body was remanded for
tfiai At the spring term of the Circuit Court for
Ine cry OF Richmond. When the Court met, the
a,and Jury for the city Of Richmond found a true
osb, but owing to the absence OF witnesses the
trial was continued until the fall term; ana the
prisoner being then In bad health, he was admit.
.ed TO ball fJr his appearance, It being considered

AZ the fall term of 1855, Dickinson was arraien.
cd before Judge Meredith, and az no sdemurrerp
was made to the Jurisdiction OF the judge. he
plead not guilty, aud the trial WAS proceeded with.
After several days were spent In the examipstion
OF witnesses and argument of counsel. the caae
was given to the jury, bat findiog they could NOT
agree upon verdict. the Judge discharged them.
and the prisoner was remanded for trial at the
present term OF the Circuit Court.
Judge Meredith stated that he had examined the
question before him with some care, and was sat-
isned that he had no jurisdiction over the offence
win which the prisoner stands charged. The
eharter oil the city gave the Aldermen and Hus.
tings Court jurisdiction over certain class of of.
fences any where within a mile of the city of
Richmond, but these offences were mere misde-
meauors. He explained the difference between
the powers and fuuctious Of the Hastings Court,
ana those OF an Erdnatning Court called 10 invess
tIgase the charges of felony, and read q clause
from the Constitution Of the State to show that
his Circuit was confined within the corporate
limits OF the city of Richmond, in all cases of
felony. He coulc find, by special acts that he had
Jurisdiction in certain cases of misdemeauer, be.
cause the power was specially delegated, and
therefore felt bound to sustain the demurrer, and
thns put the prisoner in the same position he oc-
cppied when first arrested.
AS soon as Judge Meredith's decision was made
known, the prisoner was placed 10 the custody of
the sheriff of Henrico county, and taken to the
court house of that county, where he was partial.

remanded for further examination at the next
term of the Couptv Court
