Again we are called upon TO chronicle Two
more steamboat disasters, in the vicinity OF this
port The little sidewheel steamer Elwood,
which ran IN the Hatchie river trade. while as
cending that stream on last Friday. caught FIRE
and was entirely consumed. She had on board
a cargo Of plantation supplies, an Of which was
ost. Fortunately no lives were lost by the
burning. She was owned 10y Col. Charles
Bowbow, OF Mississippi, and was valued at
twelve thousand dollars. and her cargo at three
thousand dollars, on which there was no in
surance.
On yesterday morning, about two O'Clock, the
steamer Golden Eagle, from this port for Gin
cinnati, coIided with the Mariner, bound down.
at Island Thirty-hve, by which the former had
both water-wneel beams broken, and let down
one Of her wheels against the hull and the
latter had her flagstaff and a portion Of her
guards broken, and her stem opened. She en-
tered a protest Immediately upon her arrival
here. The Golden Eagle was compelled 10 pro
coed on one wheel. Fortunately but one
! life. that Of a negro deck hand, was lost by the

the whole ouus Of the affair on those Of the
/ Golden Eagle. We suppose the whole affair
will be fully investigated by the Local Inspec-
tors Of this port.
The officers Of the Belle ST.. Louis, which az
rived yesterday afternoon, report the Kate
Kenny aground at Liberty Island, the Albert
Pearce at Fort Charities, and the Leonora and
st. John laid up al ST. Genevieve, on account OF
the weather and ice.
The fine steamerJu Julia has, also, been detained
DO the ice above, but she viii be down this
morning, and leave for New Orleans At ten
O'Clock.
The little Pilgrim actually left yesterday az
ternoon for White river We presume she had
a tremendous trip, judging from the numbered
times she was 10 go and did not. How was it,

The huge Magenta had a very fair trip for
New Orleans last evening, including seven
hundred bales Of cotton and a fair passen-

The great Leyiathan viii be mp this morning,
and leave for St. Louis at ten o'clock. She is a
regular " sumner " in the way Of travelling,
and her accommodation are unsurpassed.
The Vicksburg backed out last evening, with
asplendid trip, for the Historic City.
The ". r Arthur passed down yesterday
morning crowded with people and freight.
The peerless Belle St Louis is posted for her
uamesake this evening. Jim Speed is in the
ofhce-that IS enough, OF itself, to insure a
crowed cabin
The Albert Pearee will be d0wn in the morn
ing, and takes the place Of the Des Arc for
Little Rock, at twelve O'Clock to-day. The

dcers are courteous gentlemen.

City.
The Celeste and Northwest went ost last
night with good trips-the former for Arkansas
river. and the latter for ST. Francis river.
Owing to the strike among the operatives at
Pittsburg, and the sudden heavy demand,
boiler iron has naturally advanced In price. as
well as being scarce. At Pittsburg but one
manufactures is a work; and that only to a
limited extent.

The Cincinnati Enquirer. OF the fifteenth, says
the weather was very chaugsa5le. In the morn

and although Il was again falling last
night, we are in hopes it did not go down quite
so low as on yesterday morning. Heavy new
