Loss OF THE SAM GATY.-We learn from
Capt. Archer, of the McLelian, that the
new steamer, San GdLy burst her starboard
boiler, when under way, at Davenport yes
terday morning. One fireman was killed
and the engineer, named Mcknight, and
the Carpenter, Mr.. Brooks and one hand
were dangerously scalded. Mr.. johnson, the
Clerk, was slightly scalded. The first in
dicatiOn the WcKeilan had of the disastr,
was the sudden lifting of the chimneys on
the GdtY, which was instantaneously follow
ed by the crashing of her upper works.
The Mcclellan Immediately hurried to the
unfortunate steamer, which by this time was
on fire. Some of the passengers and crew
of the GGty were endeavoring 10 extinguist
the flames with buckets whilst others haG
jumped into the boats, and some into the
river. Through the prompt and energetic
efforts of Capt. Archer and his crew, the
flames were exiting aished, and the sufferer:
relieved so far ~ it was in their power to
relieve them. The Southerner soon after
wards came up and took the GdtY in tow
for Louisville
The Sam GGfy was new boat destined
for the Missouri river. The builders of hel
machinery were principal owners of the
boat, and we understand were on board a
the time of the accident. The cause of the
accident is unknown. II must have beer
