STEAMBOAT AcCIDENr.-T. L. Watts was
chartered by Mr.. Crawford and ". N.
Altman, Oh Thursday, to goto the Wa
bash to tow out barges loaded with corn.
As she was making the crossing just
above Mt. Vernon, she suddenly turned
over. Some of those on board took to
the large alongs de. The cabin broke
off and went to pieces with part of the
crew on it.
Thirteen laborers are missing, some
four or five of whom were seen on the
wreck of the cabin, which hoated down
the river, and the other eight or nine are
supposed to be drowned.
The Colonna arrived soon after, the
officers of which, with Mr.. Altman, who
was on board, rendered every possible
assistance to the survivors, most of whom
escaped with only their night clothes.
Mr., Aaikman purchased clothing for
them to the amount of some $50
The wiud was so rough that the officers
Of the Colonna deemed it unsafe to fol-
low the wreck
1t is hoped and believed that those
on the wreck would be rescued at Union
town.
Mr. Altman, lack Taylor, Henry
Wells, and Henry Oldham arrived here
yesterday evening, from whom we obtain
the above facts.

The UNION SENTIMENT AT THE SOUTH.
A member of the Anderson Cavalry
Troop, named CARRIER, who was taken
prisoner at Murfreesboro, and sent to
Vicksburg, Mobile, and elsewhere, and
finally to Richmond, furnishes some in
teresting particulars to the Philadelphia
Press as to the experience of himself and
fellow-prisoners. The Press says:
They confirm all the reports of suffer-
ing in the rebel States, the high price
and extreme scarcity of provisions, and
the strong Union sentiment everywhere
exhibited. The Union people say they
are three to one, but the rebels have all
the arms.
Young CARRIER writes that he believes
some OF the prisoners would have starved
had it not oeen for the Union people
along the route. AT every stopping place
men. women and children would oro"d
INTO or around the cars, bringing food
for the poor, half-starved prisoners. One
man, in Montgomery, Alabama, came to
a squad OF the boys and began to oues-
ton them. They thought he was rebel,
perhaps spy on their actions, and, of
course, gave him rather curt replies An
officer of the guard saw he was talking
with the prisoners, and ordered him
away under penalty of being arrested.
When the officer moved away, however,
the man again made his appearance,
this time with a roasted chicken stuffed
With oysters. 1t is needless to add that
the poor, famished prisoners had no fur
'her doubt ot that mans loyalty They
are stripped Of all their money and valu-
ableS by the rebels, and were barely al
lowed to retain the rags on their backs.
They were taken through all the Con-
iederate States, except Texas, Arkansas
and Louisiana, and had a long ride by
railroad, but by no means pleasant
one.

The Unconditional Union, Old Char
ter and Free School Ticket.

The Union party-if it be proper to
designate as party an assemblage of
men of all the old parties, brought to-
gether for the purpose of saving the
Union and preserving our glorious
is composed ofmen who do not make It
business to seek office. They have, as
a general rule, some honest private bust
ness to follow, and it is with reluctance
that the members of the party can be
brought out for Office when circumstances
and the public good point to this one or
that one as the proper person to fill any
certain office. With them the motto is,
Ide emaEf fheeH Slice; and their practice
confirms the correctness of the theory.
With the Butternut party the case is
different Every Office is scented out
and pre-empted months and sometimes
years ahead. For instance, the Office of
County Clerk is bespoken alrea ly BY a
Butternut of this city, who is standing
candidate for office
1t is a frequent occurrence amongst
them TO see whole families who make
ofice-hunting business, and reduce it
to science. Several notable exam pie;
exist in our midst, and the Butternut-
Caucus ticket presents fair example of
this family greed for Office 1t is said
that the world owes some men living.
So. it seems, Evansville owes some fami-
lies living, and if the debt is not liqui-
dated, it isn't the fault of the families
alluded to. Like the horse-leech, their
cry is give, give''
In accordance with custom, the But
ternut managers have provided the usual
batch of candidates for the people to vote
for. Some of them are the old standing
candidates that come out every Spring.
They appear every April as regularly as
the leaves on the trees, and in. some in-
s,ances fall as inevitably. -s
1t will be noticed amongst the an
nouncements in the papers that there is
but one Unconditional, Old Charter,
Free School candidate for each office to
be filed at the City election next Mon
day. Hence there is no difficulty for
loyal men, friendly to the Schools, TO
choose ticket to represent their views.
Such atieket we have made up from the
announcements in the papers, and pre-
sent it at the head of the editorial eel
umns to-day. Let every Unconditional
Union, Free School, and Old Char er
man cut the ticket out, familiarize him
self with the names and the Offices they
ar presented for, and go to aoork for the
Union ticket There is no time to be
lost. The ticket is a good one-it is
ticket Of the people. The cause of Union
and Free Schools is glorious one, and
1T is the solemn duty OF every friend Of
the cause TO exert himself for the tri-
unph of its representatives. We notice
amongst the names on the Union ticket
those ofmembers Of all the old parties.
One common feeling now brings them
together, and that is, love for the good,
old Union, and for our excellent Free
Schools. Such ticket ought not to fail,
and viii not fail if its friends do their
duty and work for their ownainterests.

A head Shot.

The present arrangement OF 'ne D"'-
teruut caucus managers for the over .
throw of the schools is designed to act
nm the double-barreled principle, 1t
m .iority of Anti-School men are elected
to the Council, why, the adoption OF the
New Charter by vote of the Council, and
consequently the destruction of the
schools, is an easy matter. The people
will be put out of their agony speedily,
easily, and scientifically.
Failing in the election of an Anti
School Council, the caucus have, by
their foresight and sagacity, provided
another plan, which, though slower Is
but little less sure. The Trustee they
may elect will have it in his power to so
manage as to make the place of teacher
very uncomfortable for those teachers
who do not enjoy the favor of the Anti
School managers Any such obnoxious
teacher can be rotated out SO politely
and smoothly as to give him or her but
tile suffering.
So. if one load misses, the other is
warranted TO kilt
The Trustee has great power IN his
hands for good or evil to the schools
and even if an Anti-School majority
l-->---i------a --e'-----;,, - -
should be deferred by public opinion
from adopting the New Charter, th'
Trustee would have it in his power Il
render the schools practically worthless
or worse than worthless-a curse to tie
community.
Elected on party grounds, the Trustee
would be required to give the preference
to teachers Of the same faith-the hang
ers-on of the Butternut party; and ever
if the schools were graciouSly permitted
to exist, they would be converted int
mere asylums for broken-down politica
hacks, and nurseries for the propagation
of ruinous partizan dogmas and demon
alizing superstitlons.
The Unconditional Union and OIL
Charter candidate for Trustee is know
as a warm friend of the Schools. II
has shown his faith by his works. L
him, more than to any other man, is TIL
