We learn that Captain Goodwin's boat,
the Southern, built here about two years
ago, recently met with an accident down on
Red river, which will probably result in
her total loss. She was employed as a cot
ton boat on Beotf river, and the whole coun-
try being flooded by the freshets, she was
enabled to go pretty much where she
pleased. Starting for pile of cotton sitn-
ated about two miles from the river, she
reached her destination, and got aground.
Before the officers could get the boat of, the
water had fallen, leaving her high and dry
about two miles from any signs or prospects
of sufficient moisture upon which TO reach
the river.

WASHINGTON, March 6-M

w ASHlNGION, MdICIl O-A-
A serious atfray occurred in the office at
Wizards hotel, last evening, between F. P.
Landor and William Magraw The latter
was appointed year ago superintendent of
the great central wagon road, and the former
was engineer of the expedition. Magraw
abandoned the enterprise aud joined Colonel
Johnson's forces Recently Magraw had
been removed, and Lander appointed super
intendent of the road. Owing to some per-
sonal difficulty between them Landor chal-
leuged Magraw, but the affair was settled
without fight. Last night Magraw attack
ed Lander with slung shot, and struck him
several times, wounding HIM severely in the
head. Landor rallied and threw Magraw
and would have punished him severely if he
had not been taken off. On rising be ex-
claimed, q am Massachusetts, man and
unarmed challenged the scoundrel and
be refused to fight me and he assaults me
thus with slung shot This exclamation
soon enlisted the sysmpatbies of the by
ISLANDERS for Lander. Magraw was taken
away By his friends, and Lander was con-
vcyed to his lodgings badly wounded. The
latter belongs to Salem, Mast.

THE Doom OF THE WoRLD.-The North
British ReUiew, discoursing on the doom of
the world, has the following remarks
% What this change is to be, we dare not
even conjecture, but we see in the heavens
themselves some traces of destructive ele-
ments and some indications of their power,
the fragments of broken planets-the descent
ofmeteoricstones upon our globe-the wheel
ing comet welding their loose material at
the solar satellite-the appearance Of new
stars and the disappearance of others, are
all foreshadows of that impending convul-
sion to which the system of the world is
doomed. Thus placed ON planet which is
to be burned up, and under heavens which
are to pass away; thus residing as it Were,
on the cemeteries and dwelling upon the
mauseleums of former worlds let US learn the
lesson of humility and wisdom, if we have
not already been taught in the school of
revelation. -s 3 arsirs9

BsSs- The papers are filled with gossip
connected with the sad tragedy at Wash
ington. There are innumerable rumors
aAoat in and out of the papers, which it
would be not only impertinent, but pander-
ing to a morbid public taste, to repeat The
Tri6une's correspondent of the 22d instant,
says:
Robert j. Walker had long interview
with Mr.. Sickles to-day. He alluded to the
fact that Key siather was his personal friend,
and that he had always treated Key as his
own son, but he continued, turning to Mr..
Sickles, 'You did right Mr.. Walker fire.
quently wept as he spoke. Mr.. Sickles said
TO Mr.. Walker that he appreciated his feel
ings, and was sorry that circumstances had
compelled such results. Mr.. Walker was
shown letter written to Mr.. Sickles by his
wife since his confinement, expressing her
deep grief at his confinement, acknowledge
ing her own guilt, and promising better
things for the future. He pronounced it
the production of mind of more than ordi-
nary genius.
Secretary Cobb also called upon Mr.
Sickles, and the President addressed him II
letter.
Great effort has been made to-day to ar
rest Butterworth as accessory before the fact,
Notwithstanding his public statement, but
he keeps out of the way. The most dill
gent search for him has been made in vain.
The friends of Sickles assert that the OBJ
iect of arresting Butterworth is to deprive
the former Of the benefit of his testimony.
When Mrs. Sickles' mother visited Mr.
Sicl1les to-day, he exclaimed to E. b. Hart,
~, hor. n in-r 7 lt
have been spared this trial"
On Saturday night after the confession,
among other articles which Mr.. Sickles re-
quired his wife to return to him, either as O
prudential precaution against leaving her
in possession of money or valuaoles, or as a
confirmation of her confession, was a valu-
able pair of earrings. They were present
from him before their marriage.
1t is reported from one of the officers Of
the JAIL that they were returned yesterday
to Mrs Sickles. This is another evidence
of his affection, whatever may be his belle
concerning his legal rights. Notwithstaud
ing this, he declares that a reconciliation
can never take place.
Mr.. Sickles' father has been at the jail al
day, and takes a great interest in his SON
condition. 1t is reported by persons living
in the vicinity of the house in Fifteenth
street, where..Mr...Key and Mrs. Sickles fire
quented, that on yesterday the private car
riage of Mr.. Sickles was seen to stop at salt
house lady alight, and enter the building
remaining short time, and then RETURN
The house had been examined shsrt tim,
previously, and shawl which was said Il
belong to Mr.. Key was found upon bed
The two facts last stated are significant
1t Is n sad commentary on the shallow
ness of the friendship in fashionable lii
here, that of all the gay throng which crow
ded the parlors of Mrs. Sickle5 on Thursda
night last at her levee, but very few hav
condescended to call upon her in her misfer
tune.
Mr.. Brady, the artist, has to-day take
views OF the localities which figure in tn
history of the hey tragedy, for Harper
Weekly, per order.
