The steamer Eagles Wing left New Bedford for
this city at twenty-five minutes past eleven on
Wednesday forenoon, she having bren chartered
by Mr. Kcndrick for an excursion hence to
Newport and one to Block Island. At twenty
four minutes past three in the afternoon. while
coming up the bay in company with the Perry,
and when just below Sabin's Point, a fire broke
out on her boiler deck, which spread with such
rapidity that in very few minutes the whole
Upper part of the boat was enveloped in flames.
The engineer, who was on board the Lexington
when it burnt on the Sound, said that he never
saw fire spread more rapidly, and Capt. Allen,
of the Perry, says that it was indeed remarkable.
The latter boat was but few rods off, and her
boats were immediately lowered and procee ed
to the burning steamer, taking off those who
were on board, except tho Captain, who was
taken OH board the Bradford Duifte which W
also in the vicinity when the fire broke out.
There were about twenty persons on board the
st amer, including two ladies, all of whom were
taken off without injury but nothing was say
except sinalc valisc. The steamer grounded
at first on Sabin's Point, Tut was soon after
fioated off by the tide, and finally she driftcd
ashore at Pawtuxet The Captain went ASHORE
and staid by her. She will be q total loss.-

TO THE PEOPLE OF RHODE ISLAND.
A PROCLAMATION.

A PROCLAMATION.
All hearts are bowed in sorrow at the disas-
trous result of the battle Of the 21st inst, at
Bull Run in Virginia
The national arms have sustained temporary
defeat. This reverse is the more sad to us that
it is accompanied by the loss of so many gallant
officers and brave men who held the honor Of
Rhode Island second only to their love of country.
Colonel John s. Slocum, Major Sullivan Bal
lou, Captains Levi Tower and Samuel j. Smith,
and Lieutenant Thomas Foy Of tho second regi-
ment, and Lieutenant Henry A. Prescott Of the
first regiment have fallen. So far as yet known
this completes the list of ata casualties among
the officers; that Of the privates is not yet re-
ceivcd
The State will embalm the memory of these
noble men as it preserves the fame of its heroes
Of revolutionary days
This reverse calls for renewed and vigorous
effort on the part of all loyal citizens to maintain
the federal government.
Therefore ], Samuel G.. Arnold, Lieutenant
Governor do hereby call upon the good people
of this State to come forward without delay and
volunteer their services in defence of the con.
stitution and the laws.
Arrangements will at once be made for the
commandants OF the several military companies
to enroll men to serve for three years, or during
the war, unless sooner discharged. Let the
response to this call be prompt, decided, and
such as will show that the martial spirit of our
State is alike indomitabe in victory or defeat.

Lieutenant Governor.

GENERALS LEE AND Scorr.-A writer in the
Albany Argus says:
Gen. Mcdowell, now in command at Arlington
House. was formerly personal, Intimate fiend
OF General Lee, now commanding the rebel
army. They graduated in he same class mt
West Point, and have always been very much
attached to each other. Gen. Mcdowell now
quarters in his tent, camp bedstcad and camp
stove, rough table and his trunk being all his
furniture, near Arlington House. He declined
occupying his friends house, and gave strict
orders that the most severe penalties should be
inflicted upon any person, officer or private,
found guilty of injuring the fountains or defacing
the grounds; even a tree is not to be fellcd for
any purpose whatever. Col. Lyon, Of tie 9Th,
however, occupies portion of the house.
1t is said that the parting between General
Scott and General Lee was exceedingly painful
they had been intimate personal friends, and
General Scott begged of General Lee not to re-
sign from the American army" For Gods
s,ke, don't resign. Lee" 81 am compelled to-,
was the reply :" l cannot consult my own feel
ings in this matter" These two old friends,
who had fought side by side on the fields of
M, xico, stood, each grasping the others hand,
while the tears were coursing down their checks,
too full Of feeling to find uttorance for one word,
about to part, perhaps forever. certainly to find
themselves in the future armed against each
other occupying the position in place Of bosom
friends, of deadly, uncompromisng foes.

school Examinations.

Our Primary School passed its usual exam
ination at the close OF the term on Thursday
morning Of this week. In more than one aspect
this is the most important Of our public schools
The Influences here rec ived are traceable
through life. Neglect here is only, II ever, made
good at immense cost. We love to see results
We are disposed to overlook these primary in
fiuences in home and school, in church and
State, by which the veal or woe of nations is
effected. Primary organizations control our
country.
The examination Of our Primary School was
very credtablc to both teachers and scholars.
The reading, spelling and rccitat;ons in unison,
were excellent.
The spacious room Of the intermediate School
was thronged at an early hour in the afternoon.
Glasses were examined in Reading, Spelling,
Mental and Written Arithmetic, and Geograp y.
This was followed by recitations Of selected
pieces, declamations, and dialogues. Certificates
for excellence in department and in studies,
were given to a large number of the pupils.
Several scholars had not been absen a halliday
uuIluS tuc leiHi. HSN hdu iNiI oShooi
The High School Department was examined
yesterday. The usual thoroughncss and fidelity
was evinced by every class. A large number
Of scholars, as is customary in this term, left
before its close. The per centage of absenteeism
is very small during the term. But this evil of
anticipating vacation, except where absolute
illness or necessity requires it, is injurious both
to the school and to the scholar. 1t would be
better to lengthen the vacation by one, two, or
three weeks, than to witness this falling off be-
fore the close of the term. But is not she vaca-
ton sufficiently long? 1t does not materially
differ from that granted by our higher schools,
seminaries and colleges.
The attention of parents and pupils should be
called to this matter; and the responsibility
must rest mainly with the parent. This town
places within the reach of every family, schools
of high order, conducted by a corps of excel
lent teachers. Let these advantages be not
only recognized, but realized by every citizen,
and by every child. The attendance for the
past term has been as follows

TO MY SISTER.


Sweet s ster, J ne hath come again,
The pleasant month of flowers, ''
But not in all her blushing wreath,
Though fragrant with the ,se's breath,
(Which seem th now the type of death,)
Are blossoms sweet as ours
Those pure. half ope buds, which caught
The golden sunshines ray,
Fragile, but beautiful and bright.
T"ey half unfolded to the light,
Then dropped and faded from our sight
Eoreyerncre away.
Three years ago bent above
A tiny form of clay,
So lonely in its dreamless rest,
The waxen hands together pressed
Upon the still and pulseless breast
was thus my darling lay.
In that dark hour of bit er wee,
thooSHl MY HttiIt WouIu DTeak
The smiling sky, the sunshine bright,
But seemed to mock me with their light
For to my sad and y arning sight,
My treasure might no wake.
And therefore tis upon this day
My eyes with tears are dim;
And though the earth is passing fair,
The genial sky, the baImy al.
To mT lone heart sad memories bear:
They bring but thoughts of him.
Perchance our little ones may meet
On that far distant shore:
Together wander hand in hand.
q il We reach that bless land,
Wen find them mid the ange band,
And W. Shall part no more.
