Charged with Commitxfn@ Rapo
on one of his Indy Gueats.

Ihepeople OF Jacksonville hare been thrown
Into au Intense excitement by the arrest Of
the landlord Of the Dunlap House, on the
charge Of rape upon one Of bis lady guests.
The facts, ns reported in the jackson vile
Journal nrs these: On the 14th inst, q lady.
Who resides In Quincy, came to this city and
stopped At the Dunlap House. She alleges
that IN the evening, when Mr.. Kelsey, the
landlord, came TO her room to light tilc cas
she was lying upon the bed, feeling III, aud
that he at once approached her In IN improper
Hlanner, Hheu size ordered him to tiestst.
Saying that she could not bluff or deceive
him, IS he understood her character, be bY
violence accomplished his helllsh purpose.
The Indy, being eneeinte, the fright and
abuse caused miscarriage, which took place
the next day, the lady being attended by Dr..
Scales, who, unfortunately, died suddenly q
few days ago. Being sick aud helpless, md
anlonG strangess, the lady could do -pothlnc
until Tuesday evening last, when two OF her
friends, one Of them u relative, came from
Quincy to see her, when she Immediately In
formed them of what had occurred. These
friends immediately removed the Indy, late IN
the evening, to Ayers' Hotel, and yesterday

Kelsey WAS arrested, but the Indy still being
unable to appear against him, be was held bY
Esquire PieFson in the sum Of 81, 600 bail, 10
appear for examination on Thursday.
We understand that Mr.. Kelsey has 'com-
nenced suit against the above parties Tor q
conspiracy to e1tort money by blackmaillng
him. The misfortune OF the woman woulI
hardly justify this view of the case, though
many IA sstaoge things are done nowadays. II
". kelsey is guilty, IS alleged, 1t ia one OF
the blackest crimes on record, and be should
meet with the seVerest punishment known TO
the laws.

[Fruu the Cairo Democrat, :ah.1
We have already published the leading
facts IN relation to the collision between the
sfppi river, abont soyen miles above Helena,
which resulted in the sinking Of the latter In
twenty feet Of water and Tho loss Of about
20 deck passengers, principally discharged
The collision occurred On Friday night last,
ut about nine o'clock The Post Boy LEFT this
port tow days prior to the accident for New
Orleans. The Niagara was bound from New
Orleans to st. Louis, and had about ISL lcck
passengers. There weze about eighteen ladies
on board. The boat sunk IN about fye min
utes after the col1lsion. She was struck aft
Of the boiler on the larboard side. The Post
Boy sustained only slight damages, and pro-
ceeded Oh her way, afteE having taken aboard
number OF the passengers from the Niagara,
who were landed at Helena.
Immediately upon the shock caused By the
collision, considerable alarm was manifested
on the part Of the passengers, but this was.
soon alleyed in part BY the officers, who werc
cool and calm throughout. and By their gal-
lantIy did much toward avertlng further loss
Of life.
The cause of the collision Is not definitely
known, but It Is supposed that the pilot OF
the Post Boy became excited In some way,
and lost control OF the steamer. Both boats
gave the usual signals. The pilot OF the Nj
agara SAW the collision impending, aud tried
to aroid 1t, but fuiled, Notwithstanding the
most strenuous efforts.
It Is reported BY some thnt few Of the
cabin passengers during the excitement fol-
lowing the collision jumped overheard and
were lost, but this lacks general confirmation;
the officers are firmly Of the opinion that ali
the cabin passengers escaped. 1t Is probable
that several Of the crew drowned; but not
more than four or Ave at the most. The Nj
agarn sunk to her boiler deck, but was get
tling some. The negro soldiers got aboard at
New Orleans. tits not known to what reei-
ment they belonged.
Considering that the night was clear and
the moon shining brightly, the accident wns
OF very singular character. No one with
whom VIC have conversed Is ahle to account
for 1t further than to suppose that the pilot
Of the Post Boy was cArelcss Mt first, and in
the subsequent excitement lost control OF
himself and the boat.
The Niagara Is not more than year old.
and was one Of the finest packets Of the Allan

We are informed there was none. There was
