TUESDAY EVENING, MARCH II, 1861.
SrEAMpoAr suNK.-The MarysyiIle Ex.

STEAMBOAT SUNK.-The Marysville Ex-
prcss, of yesterday morning, chronicles an
accident TO the steamer James Blair, on
her way from Sacramento to Marysville.
She was heavily freighted, and when within
about two miles Of Hook Farm, struck a
snag under water, over which she had, on
former occasions, passed 10 safety. AS soon
as the accident occurred hole was cut in
the deck, and an attempt made to bail out
the water; but the oridce was SO large that
the water came into the deck in a volume,
nearly as large as -four barrel. Seeing
she must sink, the boat was turned towards
the western shore and after RAINING about
hundred yards settled down upon the bot
tom, about twenty yards from shore. In
few minutes the water was running over the
lower deck. There were about twenty pas
sengers on board, two of whom were ladies',
besides number Of Chinese and Indians on
the lower deck. The accident occasioned
40 very great alarm among the gers.
A large amount of mail matter was on
board, including the Oregon mail by the
last steamer. The California Stage Com
pany sent down stages and brought the pas
sengers and mail to Marysyille. The dam
age to the cargo was not great.

The Two confsderacIes.

-
The Two COnfederacies.
On our first page will be found letter
from the Washington correspondent of the
New York Herald, and short extract from
the Tribune, foreshadowing the policy Of
the Republican party in the event Of bnal
separation of the slave States from tbe
Union. 1t appears that the leading spirits
of the party regard the establishment of a
Southern Confederacy as inevitable, and
while Seward and the Peace Conference
have been left to deal with the fossil ques-
tion of slavery and the Territories, they
have already marked out the boundaries
that are to divide the two Republics, and
settled upon the general features Of the
policy to be pursued by the North. Accor-
ding to the Tribune, secession must be
arrested wherever it "trenches upon the
interests of the free States" The Potomac
and Ohio must be the boundary on the
North-the free States retaining the Fede-
raj Capital and the States of Maryland and
Delaware, together with all the States and
Territories west Of the Mississippi. To
allow Missouri, Arkansas and Texas to join
the Slave Cohfederacy would trench on
'the interests Of the free States" " and they
must be retained, with or without their own
consent; aud the Florida Keys must also be
held, in order TO give the North the control
of the commerce of the Gulf.
Should the border States eventually join
the Southern Confederacy, il is not only
possible, but highly probable, that this
programme, in the main, will be carried
out but if they conclude to remain in the
Union, then the policy will be to collect the
revenue and hold the forts in the States
that have seeded Had the Gulf States
co-Operated with the more conservative
slave States, they might have agreed upon
an ultmatum and failing to obtain what
they regarded as sufficient guarantees for
their peculiar institution, could have left
the Union in q body, and with some chance
Of success demanded their share of the pub
lie property, and division of the Terrific
ries. But the hot haste of the Gulf States
to get out Of the Union, has so divided the
slave holding States that the prestige of the
Federal Government, together with the
army aid navy, will remain with the North,
no matter how far secession may now ex-
tend.
The political leaders of the Cotton States
are shrewd politicians, but have none of
the qualifications of statesmen. Having
got their own States out of the Union, their
ambition now is to drag after them the
remaining slave States; and while they are
engaged in this work, their opponents OF
the North, with the resources of the Federal
Government at their control, will be quietly
preparing to arrest the progress of secession
at the Potomac and Mississippi, so as to
completely encompass she Southern Con-
federacy.

New DISCOVERY OF LIME.-The Grass
Valley National says that Messrs Brace and
Grant have recently opened lime quarry
on the east side of Greenhorn creek, about
half mile below Lewis saw mill, on the
Walloupa road 1t is situated about seven
and half miles from Grass Valley, and
seven from Nevada. The ledge is about
fifteen feet ia thickness, easily accessible,
aud the lime of very superior quality. The
discovery is very important to Nevada and
Grass Valley, as the ledge is accessible at
all seasons, and the distance less than TO any
other ledge now helng worked.

solution has been given of Lincoln's rapid
progress through Baltimore. According
to dispatch in the Union, he was advised
to the step by Gen. Scott and others, who
apprehended difficulties, should an attempt

report of the plot to assassinate him.
