STEAMBOAT DISASTER ON THE MISSIS-


TWENTY-FIVE KILLED A NUMBER WOUNDED
-" e are again called upon to cord one of those
terrible accidents which occur only upon our West
ern waters, and which, from their frequency and
the terrible loss of life invariably attendant upon
them, freeze the soul. The popular and generally
considered safe Memphis and Vicksburg packet
kentucky, bound for this CITY, on Sunday morning
last, between four and five O'clock, exploded her
drumhead mud-decever BY which twelve per-
sons were instantly killed. and about thirty wound
ed. The boat was in the act of backing out from
Columbia, Arkansas, some distance below He ena.
Nearly everybody the boat was sleeping 10
ahc.Sd security in their berths-even Capt Lee
hao lett his place, and in the act of retiring
"hen the explosion took place The drumhead
we are informed, was rent in twain . ,rr the upper
side. The force OF the explosion such that tie
cabin hoor, from the gangwav amidships forward,
was torn up by the steam, water, and brick around
the boilers Under the circumstances it is wonder
lui that more were not instantly killed. A boiler
explosion could scarcely have been more terrible
lhe interior of the boat literally wrecked and
the occupants of the state-rooms in the forward
part OF the boat almost instantly killed.
The steamer Prince of Wales, Captain Press.
Lodwick, reached the scene of the disaster about
niue O'Clock the same morning. Every attention
was paid to the sufferers, and when they reached
Helena, ample medical attendance was procured,
but too late for several who had inhaled the dead
ly steam. The resident physician of Columbia
whose name cur informant does not remember, DR..
Talbot, passenger, who was severely scaded on
the feet, and the surviving officers and passengers
OF the boat, contributed everything in their power
to alleviate the sufferings of the wounded, and
have their heartfelt thanks. Mr. E. Richardson,

NetU York Tribune, Mnu q. I
F.-tITNNF sfIT.sF. DTrTIn,

The news Of Gen. ScOtt's demonstration on Vir-
ginla was flashed all over the Snuth-so far, at
least, as New Orleans, and Jefferson, Missouri, on
Friday last, Now, the Southern levies brave
but lmpetuouS; they do not take kindly to disci-
pine; they are better adapted to any other ordeal
than that involved in patient adherence and self,
sacrifice to lost or falling cause. Three fourths
of them enlisted for a dash at w Washington in the
undoubting belief than they would capture that
city within month, and that jeff. Davis would be
quietly established there before the 4th of July.
VIII such men be content to coYer Richmond in-
stead of meDacing Washington? Will it do to let
the Cotton States fully understand that the main
Secession army has its choice between fighting
Gen. Mansfield on the plains of Fairfax and push
ing Gen. Butler back into Fortress Monroe and in
vesting him there, yet dares launch decided blow
at neither? Ii has to do this then treason is far
weaker and more tororn in Virginia than we have
supposed 1t. Rely on it, the gage so emphaticaliy
thrown down by Gen. Scott must be taken up.
The "Grayson Daredevis," the 'Itawamba IRE
pressibles," the "Tishemingo Invncibles," and
other birds of like feather, will insist on a fight:
and ifa fight is not hsd the rebels ,clU kno,o that
llhey beaten.
Of course, the risk of offering battle to the main
patriot army near Washington, brave as the lead
ing traitors doubtless are, they may well shrink
from. But treason Is not safe game any how. and
this is no time to hedge If they can surprise our
outposts by night attack infctng considerable
damage and receiving somewhat less-if Gen. But
Ter can be drawn into trap and roughly handle
oy twice or thrice his f0rce-or if Gen. Johnston
can advance from Harper's Ferry taking the Penn
svlvanians at a disadvantage, Cooperating with
midnight nsurrectiOn in BaltmOre-the neces-
sltv OF more decisive action may be obviated; but
it Davis and Beauregard have so 600 men in hand
they must strike a blow this week or virtually con.
fess their cause hopeless one. We look for stir
ring work, since their loss of prestige by inacton
can be little less disastrous than the loss of a
battle

ments have recently been made in France
by persons skilled in the veterinary art,
with view Of ascertaining how long hor-
ses may live without food in certain con-
tingencies, as, for example, being shut up
in beseiged places. The following results
have been noted: A borse may live for
twenty-five days without solid food, and
merely drinking water. He may live sev-
enteen days without eating or drinking
After taking solid aliment for the space Of
ten days, but with an insufficient quantity
of drink, the stomach is worn out The
above facts show the Importance of water
in the sustenance of the horse, and the de-
sire the animal must feel to be supplied
with it. A horse that had been deprived
of water for three days, drank eleven gal
Ions in the space of three minutes.
