The steamer Tacony, which arrived here this
morning from Louisville. brings the particulars of
the loss of the steamer Missouri.
The Missouri had a large trip of passengers to
this port, where all but about 10 left and took
other routes. She left Evansville between one
and two o'clock Tuesday morning, in company
with the Dictator, but not racing, as has been
asserted; the Dictator making no pre-
tensions to compete with the Missouri in speed.
About two o'clock, when near the mouth of Green
ploson being downward, tearing the fore part of
the boat to pieces. hull and all. to the waters
edge She sunk in a few minute, in deep water,
leaving only small portion of the LADIES' cabin
exposed.
The number of persons on board it is impossible
to state with any accuracy. passenger who left
the boat at Evansville says that at supper, on the
night of the accident, there were five lady passen
gers, including the wife of Captain Hurd, COM
mandind the boat The number of male passen-
gers was about twenty, including seven returned
soldiers. One of the female passengers was a
young lady from New Orleans, where she had
been engaged in teaching.
Capt Hurd had his whole family with him on
the Missouri One son was the second clerk, one
plot, and the third was an interesting little te-
low about six years of age, in the cabin with his
mother. All were lost. save Capt. Hurd, who was
received on board the Dictator and carried to
New Albany, Indiana. He is believed to be ia
tally injured by inhang steam. The body Of Mrs.
Hurd was iished up from the wreck, and was the
only one that had been recovered when the Ia
cony left the place where the Missouri sunk Mrs.
Hurd had been killed by iron bolt which struck
| her on the head, mashiug in her skull.
! The first engineer Phillips, was blown all to
pieces. All the engineers and fremen were
killed. The body of the head steward was found
blown into three pieces. The first clerk Nc.
Mahan, and wife are among the killed.
The Tacony was in sight of the Missouri when
the boiler exploded. The Dictator, who was in
the wake Of the Missouri, and Silver Moon
rescued those who were saved and took them tt
| Newburg, Ind, where the wounded were properly
cared for. At Least one hundred lives must have
been lost by this terrible calamity.

CONCENTRATION OF TROOPS
MAIL FACILITIES.
MAJOR GENERAL DIX,S AP-
POINTIMENT.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26
The arrival of troops in this vicinity has Civ
en- rise to an exaggerated rumor of an intend
ed concentration of a large military force of
from twenty-five to thirty thousand at this
point The fact is that the number of soldiers
for some months past, have averaged only from
two to three Thousand men, and that several
companies of the 18th Infantry and a few 9TH
er troops have been ordered here, the aggre-
gate being less than the usual assignment to
headquarters of a department.. 1t is presumed
that the whole number in this city when ar
rangements are completed, will not exceed five
thousand men. 'i6 f

American steam line to Antwerp. Rate seven

seven cents per half ounce.
While there are very many applicants for
the higher as well as lower offices in the gift of
the Government, Maj Gen. Dix has received
altogether unsolicited by him, the most en-
phatic evidence of the Executive regard. Sew
eral months ago he was appointed by the Pres
ident by and with the consent of the Senate,
Minister to the Hague. This Office he recently
declined. Yesterday'his commission was sent
to him as Naval Officer of the port of New
York, which he probably received this morn
ing, and on the same day he was appointed by
the President, Minister to France, and his
commission for this distinguished position had
already been prepared by the Department of
State 1t seems however, from a dispatch re-
ceived here this afternoon, that Gen. Dix to-
day executed his official bond in New York, as
Naval officer. 1t is not known yet whether he
has yet received official information of his APP
pointment as Minister to France, but it is said
here in official circles that this office was pre-
sented to him on the same day in order that
he might take choice. These facts are derived
from an authentic source, and it should be
mentoned on the same authority that Mr..
Bigelow has been recalled from France, at his
own request al Strtf

Gr.as n nd tn. Precedence.

Aprivate letter written In July last by the
father of General Grant to his former partner,
Mr.. L. A. Collins, of Virginia City, has some
how. found its way into the newspapers. The
following passages may be of interest: .H
You say something about my soldier boy.
forget what, but / believe you want to 60 to
Washington when he is inaugurated President,
and ask me if will go with you. Oh yesi
certainly / win go, and hope we mag have a
nice time of It,. Stranger things than that
have happened, but not more strange things
than that would have been four or five years
eYou know Ulysses is. not and never was an
aspirant for any personal favor or promotion.
When the war broke out, he telt that as the
government had educated him for soldier,
and as it was likely soon to need his services
he could not withhold them, so he was among
the first TO volunteer for the war, and to say
the very least of it, his career has been q very
remarkable one. You know he never asked
for an office, promotion or command, or
agreed to accept such when consulted. Bnt
when appointed, promoted, or ordered, he took
right hold, aud has commanded larger armies,
fought more battles, taken more prisoners and
more ordnance than anysother General history
gives any account of You may have noticed
that the Government and the people fully ap-
preciated all he has done, and good deal
more, He was promoted from a private up to
brigadier-general in few months, and all the
d
promoted until there was no longer any rank
to promote him to. Then the Congress created
a new rank Of neutenant-general, and he was
again promoted to that rank. Not satisfied
with that, Congress has created still higher
rank, of what is called full general, and yes
terday the Senate confirmed his appointment
to that rank. suppose they viii have TO De
content as there is no other rank wnlcn can De
created. But that is not all. The people have
moved in every way; besides the promotions
have described, and the large substantial tes-
itimonals he hes received, the people every
where are disposed to do him honor. Take that
altooetber. don't that seem little strange to
YOU? 1t does to me. i .s-f,s. .....a- ......
Now there is another thing which seems
equally strange; the most ultra radicals, the
worst oopperheads, the desperate secesh, and
the true Union men, all say: "Give us Grant,
we want no other platform than that he has
written with his sword"a 9na. Lae 1r.t 81
You know enough about Ulysses to know
that to accept the Presidency would be to him
q sacrifice of feeling and personal interest
He could not well stand the trial of being
candidate for public favor; and his present Po-
sition Is every way much better one than that
of President But If there should seem 20 be
the same necessity for il two years hence as
now, expect he will yield. Yours, &c.

The statement, originating we believe with

and other papers that Messrs. Sprague of Prov

is pronounced by the Farmer unauthorized
and premature. No sale has yet been consuni-
mated, although it may be stated that the COM
pany have assented to the terms proposed
which involves the assumption on the part OF
the city of aportion of the purchase price. But
the contingency upon which the successful is
sue of the negotiations mainly depends, is the
acceptance by parties owning the land which

where men rebelled against their government,

upon the mercy Of the conqueror, swore oaths
of submission and allegiance, obtained gracious
