The Ben LEWIS DISASTER AGArN-THE CAUSE OF

THE BEN LEWIS DISASTER AGAIN-THE CAUSE OF
TIE CATASTROPHE ExPLAINED--Messrs. Alexander
Houston, connected with the house of Mitchell q
Allen, New York, and NJ. B. Robinson, of the
house of Jules Hauel Co., Philadelphia, reported
among the lost, have arrived at Nashville, and fur
nished the Union newspaper with the following:
On the 23rd June, made our exit from Mem
phis, Tennessee, and took passage board of the
Ben Lewis, quickest of the Mississippi boats, and
carried the horns-Capt. Hanson being but recent
y appointed to command her. At the time of
departure we had sixty five cabin and twenty deck
passengers. short period onl elapsed when went
below, and what was my astonishment to find all
in the greatest confusion from the escape of steam
caused by over-pressure forcing its way through
the weak portion of the machinery; this, after
great difficulty mastered. The night of Sat
urday she ran on her usual time with caution, but
as soon as daylight shone on us sped through the
water at dangerous speed. One hundred miles
below Cairo, we took on board two planters, with
slaves; they soon became alarmed and asked the
cause OF such high pressure and speed of the boat,
when the clerk replied it was her trial trip, and
that she had to this point made one hour over her
usual time At every landing the slaves were ta-
ken to the stern of the steamer, as they would not
| slacken at such time. Between this point and
| Hickman, the guagecoc<s of the four boilers
| marked great variance, when they should
| always be kept equal. At Hickman, | had an
| opportunity OF counting the deck hands, being
| thirty-six in number, marching from the store
| house with boxes of apples. At this point bet
was made between the pilot and the engineer, to
make the landing at Columbus in one hour and
| three minutes, distance of twenty miles, against
the strong current of the Missssippi it was lost by
one-half minute; the quickest record at that
particular stage of the river. As soon as we
touched at Columbus, the engineer OF the Cheney,
in the vicinity of Ben Lewis, became alarmed at
the state of the boat, said she was under danger
Gus head of steam and advised all to leave imrne-
| diatey or she would blow up; he watched her
with agony until she disappeared. From this
| point to Cairo she was likely to explode at any
moment, as she trembled like an aspen leaf shaken

A New Mormon MovEMENr.-A new programme
for the Mormons is indicated by the Washington
correspondent of the New York Times. The letter
SAYS that it is now proposed that they shall emf
CRATE to one of the East India Islands, and reliable
Information is said to have been received that tbey
will do so. The enterprise is to be carried out un-
der the supervision of Capt. Walter M. Gibson,
who will be remembered as having been imprisoned
for some years by the Dutch authorities of one of
titled himself with the Mormon cause-it being at
his suggestion that Brigham Young proposed to
the Government to take the Mormons to Oceanica,
if an arrangement could be made by which they
could be paid by Government for their improve
ments in Utah.

A STRIKING CONTRAST.

We call the attention of our readers to the
following very striking contrast. Read and
ponder over the opinion of a MADISON and a
CLAY, and then compare them with the decla-
rations of DOUGLAS.
ssIt is tcromg TO admit into the Constitution The
idea that there can be properly in naam.-JAMEs
MADISON.
ssSiares are regarded property and placed
equal footing with all other property. Hence
the owner of Slaves-the same as the owner
of any other species OF property-has right

erty Nth him.-Stephen A. Douglas.
sSlavery is a social and political evil,
and no earthly po,oer shall make me rofe TO plant
ii where it does not erist.''-HENRY CLAY.
sI don't care irhether slapery is roted up or
do,gn, in Kansas. s.''-SENAToR DOUGLAS.
And yet the former was Southern by birth,
while the latter was nurtured in free New
England! So true is it that the ssrenegade

TOMORROW.

Did we but know what lies beyond
This varied, shadowy vale we tread
How often would our souls despond,
Our eyes the tears Of sorrow shed
But God, who knows what's best to do,
Who sees us from his starry throne,
Has wisely hidden from our view
Tbst which had best remain unknown.
I'VE walk to day in conscious pride,
And hang the flag of hope on high;
But ah, tom orrow, by our side,
Some friend may lay him down and die !;
Some early flower that won our praise,
Some altar where we laid our trust,
Such flower, e'er dies the evening rays,
May trampled be, and laid in dust.
Youth dreams of many glorious things,
As on he hies in pleasures track
Each day some newborn promise brings,
He turns no eye of sorrow back:
The fowery fields are all before,
His eyes on some bright star are set;
Life is to him sunny shore,
He'll learn it has its shadows yet
Tomorrow In its secret shade,
little know what is for me;
may be with my fathers laid,
Or wrecked on dire misfortune's sea;
But far beyond life's boundary lives
The everlasting army bright;
And He alone, who takes or gives,
Can guide my wandering feet Alright

ARE THEY FOR DIsUNIoN.

The leaders OF the Breckinridge and Lane
movement, in spite of the strong testimony
against them, says the West Chester Pepubh-
can, deny that their ulterior objects are dis
union. OF course they dare not avow this o.
penly in the free States, for they would not
have a corporals guard of followers under
such flag. But that such is their program
me there can be no doubt, and their own re-
cord makes out the case against them. Listen
to the testimony. Yancy, their leader, said
in his speech at Baltimore, before the seceders
Convention
.sHe begged them to accept these congratula-
tions at the hands of man Who had some rep
1tafion as a Jactionist and q disunionist. He is
neither for or against the asnion."
The Camden (Alabama) Register, in hoist
ing the name of Bsockinridge and Lane, gives
its reasons thus frankly for so doing:
Z eve run up our flag to-day tor Breckin-
ridge and Lane, the Democratic nominees for
President and Vice President of these United
States. We have unwaveringly contended
for the last fen years that it would be better
flor all concerned to make faro or more dis
tinct governments of the Territory comprising
the United STATES of .amertca and that such will
ultimately be done, there can be no sort of
doubt but it shall be done with fairness and
justice to every section of the Union, and be-
herring that the party TO Uhich pe belong is the
only reliable one 10 carry out this measure, and
secure to our own section all her rights-we
intend to battle for its principles to the fullest
extent of our ability.
A southern correspondent of the Richmond
Enquirer, who supports the seceders ticket,
says -
SCI think the time has fully come for us to
set up for ourselves, to claim and hold our
part of the public domain, and to be forever
rid of the North, who have been continually
enriching themselves out of our hard earn
ings. What though there be civil war and
bloodshed If the North do not abandon
their fanafical oppression upon us, all union
must cease between the two sections, and
choose 10 should cease now, while hope TO be
