Lamcatcd Deoth.-Capt. J. A. Cotton

L0mcntod De0h.-Capt. j. A. Cotton,
a veteran steamboatman, died yester-
day at his late residence, No. 10 Ram
part street, aged thirty-eight years.
This sad event has cast a gloom over
the community. Capt. Cotton was one
ofnature's noblemen, in the mostexalted
aCccptation of the term.
True, generous and Just, he was en-
dearcd to all whose good fortune
brought them within his circle of ac-
quaintance, and his loss will be felt and
deeply and widely mOurned.
The lamented deceased was born in
the State of Tennessee, and has been a
citizen of this city for some sixteen
years. He was the founder and the en-
tcrprising manager of the well known
Inc OF the New Orleans and Bayou Sara
I. ;. mail packets, composed of the
most splendid, feet and substantial
steamers on the Father of Waters
His remains were taken aboard the
steamer Lafourche, which left last
evening, by his numerous friends and
acquaintance, for i~nterment at BAYOU
Sara. Peace be TO his soul .-Pioayune
Ii was but a few days before his death that our la
menied friend was speaking TO us Of the uncertain
ues of Lfe-the struggles aud difficulties he had t.
encounter snd overcome, and the enemies. he regret
ted to say, that he had unconsciOusly made. But h
trusted the day was not distant when he would reap
in peace and a competency, the reward Of his labOrs
and that he would be found out TO be the friend 10
stead of the enemy. Such was the substance of hi
remarks. He was a MAN in its most exalted sense
Let US hope that his reward is priceless and eternal

TIE FIRE IN THE SHIPrING.-The de-
structive fire which we reported in our
Yesterdays edition has not proved so
disastrous rs we were at first led to
suppose. The steamboat kemucr has
proven total loss. She was worth over
$40 0O, and was insured in our city
Offices for $25, 000. She was owned by
the Bayou sara Mail Company. There
was on board quite a large cargo, the
value of which it is impossible at pres
ent to ascertain. The steamer b. +.
Clark and the barge of the O~pelousas
Railroad Company are respectively cs-
timatcd at $I0,0 600 and $1,000. There
was but little freight OH either. We
did not ascertain whether they were
insured. The burning of the steamer is
attributed TO incendiarism, and seven
teen slaves, hands on board the Kenncr,
together with a white man, were arrest
ed and will be examined by Recorder
Benit-CourleT.

CAPTURED AEEICAYs.-Therc are at pre-
sent more than a thousand Africans at Kew
West, found on board ~slavers captured by our
cruisers. Government seems much perplexed
about the proper disposal Of them. Sending
them to Liberia and maintaining them there
for awhile, seems the only alternative; yet,
that method ard the maintenance here, re.
quire an immense outlay, which even the
Northern people wouldn't stand long. 1t
would be a good idea for Government, 10 avoid
these difficulties, to order our vessels to cruize
somerhere else than where those ~slavers are
to be found! 1t is reported that those ne.
grOes are anxious to remain in this country as
slaves-they were nothing but slaves at nome
and treated II in the most brutal manner. There
is no place in the world where they would be
more happy than in a cane field, with the ac-
compartments of ''hog and homminy" and
plenty Of comfortable clothing. Oh, Liberty,
what a mass Of humbug is perpetraled in thy
name! We wouldn't favor opening the slave
trade, but since the Africans are within our
territory, couldn't our people, in the name Of
humanity, open an underground railroad to
Key West?
