THE Madison (Ind.) Banner OF the
2ud says:
A hatboat loaded with hay only appar-
emily, passed down night before last. There
were three field pieces on board concealed
in the hay, besides quantity of muskets,
&c. The boat landed at the Mammoth
Cave, lying there some time, whence this
information leaked out through some of
the crew. They will take on fifty barrels
OF powder just above Louisville, and are
bound foE Vicksburg. Our informant
states that the commander said the under
taking was at the instance of the rebel
government OF Mississippi, and expressed
fears that he would meet with difficulty in
getting down.
1850 yesterday the Aurora, from upper
ports going South, while working her way
through the raging canal, bad her smoke
stacks, Or chimneys, carried away at one
fell swoOp, or rather swing, of the bridge.
She was going down, stern foremost, and the
tender at the swinging bridge, seeing the
wheel-she is a stern wheeler-all clear,
turned the bridge, and it cut her chimneys
down to the deck.
The Aurora stopped at New Albany to
repair damages, and the bill may possibly
be sent to the Canal Company to settle
That is the first accident of the kind that
has occurred since the demolishment of the
stone bridge. If not unavoidable it was an
unforeseen disaster.-Lou. Cour., 5th.
