TERRIBLE, SCENE on THE MISSISSIPPI
The steamer Glasgow from Memphis, on the
18th, brings painful intelligence of the burn
ing of the steamer Sunnyside, on the l4th,
opposite Island No. l6, twenty-siX miles below
New Madrid. She had a large passenger list,
and heavy freight on board. Among the
latteU were 1880 bales of cotton, which, with
the boar, were totally destroyed. The boat
caught fire from sparks from the chimney,
which lgnited the cotton. She was run
ashore, and her engines were kept working to
hold her to the bank. The exit from the boat
being insufficient, many OF her passengers
were obliged to jump overheard, and several
were drowned. The scene is described as
