AS the officers of the Leviathan particular in
maintaining strict silence in regard to this above acct
dent the account We have given be incorre ct
of its Details but the main facts correct. And
here wish to remark that is singular act of folly fol
steamboat officers to attempt keep reporters of news
papers from knowing the particulars of any acciden
which occur to steamers because they the report
er) aoU hear it any Ao.o either from passengers, Of
deck hands, some Person. and if those who sh0utC
give the particulars correctly, he oc of the boat
refnse do the account which is certain to find its
into the newspapers is Liable to essentially wrong
in DETAIL and may work injury to the reputation of thos
very officers who withheld the correct statement. Tit
reporter gives the just he hears it, and If the Of
fcers of steamers do desire an erroneous account
published they should post reporters to the true
slon they desire to suppress all mention of the acct
dent let them state the facts to the reporters and
quest them to say nothing about it.

cry person to their taste, the old said when
she kissed her pig. We suppose, however, it the
friendly Intentions OF the Honest Indian" who, IT
seems presdes the destines of the new furnace
which makes friend Miller pleased with his "pig."
