Steamboat ExpIOsiOn-.-Scvcn Lives Lost
and seven Persons Wounded.
81. PAUL, Mimi, Nov. Z.
a terrible steamboat explosion occur
red in the river just below our levee on
Friday. Two freight boats, the John
Ramsey and the Albany, were running
alongside of each other, when the boiler
Of the Ramsey exploded, tearing the
boat entirely to pieces. Seven men,
mostly deck hands, were killed outright,
and nine others very badly wounded
The Ramsey sunk in six feet of water
and the upper portion took fire and
burned to the waters edge. Only three
of the bodies were recovered. The cor
oner is holding an inquest upon them
to-day.
The Ramsey had been inspected in
September, and her engineers claim
they did not have more steam than the
law allows. The explosion shook the
buildings throughout the city.
ARE THE DEMOCRATS FOR DIS
UNION?
The Democratic papers generally treat
Alex. Stephens recent peace letter as
offering far opportunity for neSotia-
tons with the rebels. The Philadelphia
Aye, one OF the ablest and most infiueli-
tisl papers OF the party, does not hest
tate to agree with Stephens that the
adoption OF his view OF state sovereign
ty is the only way To peace. Let us un-
derstand this. Stephens espOuses,
squareIy and without qualification, the
the secession dOgma-tbat every state
has the right to secede from the Union,
and that the general government has no
Constitutional power 10 prevent such
secession. Although he opposed seces.
sion while the question was pending,
and predicted all the evils that have re-
suited from it, be now stands as firmly
for the right to Secede rs jeff. Davis
himself. lie is not willing to listen to
any proposition for peace until the gov
ernment of the United States shall con-
cede this right; and as to the Union, all
he protested is a Willingness to consider
the question of new Union after the
independence OF the Con lederacy is con-
cedcd. Now if the Democrats say that
we ought to stop the war and listen to
such propositions rs Stephens suggests,
they declare themselves for a disunion
peace they pronounce the war not only
i, failure, a. they did at Chicago, but a
mistake and crime, as do Vallandig-
ham and the Woods. Do they mean
this? And if they do, have they the
courage to declare it openly? If not,
appear that Stephens has shown US all
Administration for not fastening to en-
about this matter. 1t is the vital and
most mOmentOus issue of the campaign.
