THE BURNING OF THE sun.
NY SIDE.
Twenty-Five Lives Lost.
DESCRIPTION OF THE
CATASTROPHE.
CAIRO, Nov. IA.

SAinOj 4NON' TX.
The steamer Glasgow, from Memphis 18th
has arrived, bringing the startling intelli-
gence Of the burning of the steamer Sunny
Side, from Memphis for st. Louis. She
took fire opposite Island No. Is, about
twsuty.eigh1 miles below New Madrid, al
five o'clock on the morning Of the 18th
She was burned to the waters edge. Twsn
" five lives were lost.
l am indebted to DR.. Tausig, late of the
48th Indiana, who was passenger on the
steamer, for particulars of the catastrophe
The Sunny Side had large trip of pas
sengers and freight Among the cargo was
1880 bales of cotton, much Of which Was
on the forecastle, and in front of the boilers
The boat was burning dry wood, and a
among the bales of cotton.
She took fire twice before on the way up,
but it was readily extinguished. The third
time the fire was communicated to the lower
tier Of bales, and was under Roadway be
fore it was discovered.
All efforts to quell the flames proving
Intellectual, the passengers were called and
the boat run ashore, the water being very
shallow at the bow. but some twelve feet
deep at the stern.
the gaugway forward was very narrow, ad-
hitting the passage of but one or two per
sons at time and was soon partially bro
ken down by trunks which passengers had
attempted to save. The crew and deck
passengers crowded forward along the guards
and were saved. The cabin passengers who
could not get through the companion way
were obliged to leap from the boiler dock
into the water. In the confusion, few
sprang from the wrong side Of the boat and
were drowned.
The engines were kept in motion to keep
the boat to the bank The rapid revolutions
Of the wheels caused strong current, and
drew many underneath the beat, who were
either crushed by the wheels or drowned.
An old gentleman who was drawn under
the wheel and passed under the beat, was
rescued by one of the crew.
There were ninety cabin passengers On
board, thirteen ladies, eight children and a
number Of army officers, among them Maj
Boswell, who was wounded in the shoulder
at Vicksburg. His sister who, a. soon as
she learned her brothers situation, went to
the camp and nurssd him through long
and dangerous sickness, was taking him
home.
The brother and sister sprang overheard,
and had nearly reached the shore, when the
majors strength became exhausted, and he
was obliged to loose his hold upon his sis
ter, who was carried off by the current and
drowned. The boatmen rescued tie major,
but he was entirely insensible. There is
little hope of his recovery. he was brought |
up on the Glasgow, and on her taken to St
Louis.
Mr.. Boyd, an iron founder of Memphis

oil. the Legislature, that that body did a
very sensible thing on Monday in indef
nitely postponing the bill authorizing the
publication of the laws in the newspapers of
the State The practice of publishing the
laws in two papers in each county in the
State, existed in Ohio for several years, and
we affirm that every intelligent reader, and
every discriminating editor who published a
paper for the benefit of his readers, will
agree with US in saying that it was an eyre
gious bore. No editor, whose paper posses
ed sufficient merit to command living
support, desired to bore his readers with
coldmn after column of dry laws. A chap
ter from the dictionary or from the index OF
o Congressional Globe would have been
quite as entertaining to the general reader, as
were many of the local or other laws
As to laws possessed of general interest,
every enterprisiug publisher who catered to
the interest Of his patrons would publish
them anyhow, just as he published
any other interesting selection. The act
authorizing the publication of the laws in
newspapers served to take large amounts o.
money from the oppressed and over taxed
taxpayer for the benefit of few sickly,
halfstarved political sheets which lacked
merit to command readers enough to form
Corporal's guard. The practice, after a fair
test, was very wisely aband ,ned by the
Ohio Legislature; end our Legislature show
ed its good sense by refusing to adopt what
other States of more experience had cast OFT
as an Improbable humbug.

RECRUITING goes bravely on in this
locality. at least we should judge SO from
the number of recruiting officers hereabouts
for some time past We do not know ex-
actly how many of those who renewed
the pledge" at the recent election, for "a
vigorous prosecution of the war have
"rallied ronnd the flag" up to this time,
but as the fall work is over, and the au-
thorities are sanguine that the war must
be ended in few weeks, or months at most
We hope they will show their sincerity by
enlisting at once. BY the way, this Cop
perhead region must lie a fine field in
which to procure recruits. or else it is cost
ing Uncle Sam good round sum per head
to procure them Now in as much as We
desire to facilitate enlistments in order to
save our County from the draft, and to end
the war as soon as possible, We would strenu-
ously urge upon our vigorous war men,
the proprety of enlisting without delay
there is no other way in which they could
so we'll ''vindicate the pledge and the
sooner they do 50, the sooner will they be
able to go marching on shouting the bat

Ma. LIScoLS's GREAT FoLLY.-"The
greatest folly of my life was the issuing of
the emancipation proclamation. Such
were the words of President Lincoln to
Wendell Phillips last January, according
to the testimony Of the latter in speech
he made last week in the Music Hall in
New Haven Before the issuing Of that
document, President Lincoln gave it az
his opinion that it would be 0 no more
effect than the ''Popc's Bull against tho
comet" and after he had given it to the
world he regards it as the greatest folly of
his life, and did not scruple to 50 inform
one Of the most influential leaders of the
flnatical faction who had forced him into
the Objectionable measure. President
Lincoln has made many notable remarks
since he has been in Office, but none
that are moro truthful or likely to attract
80 much attention as the above.-Ex-
