MOUNTAIN boat DESTROYED .
Burning OF the Steamer Leodora.

The Steamer Lsoiora, laden for the
gold mines, took fire and burned to the
waters edge on Monday last, near Ponca,
N. T. At the time the fire broke out, the
boat was hard aground, having been
blown ashore by heavy gale which was
prevailing at the time. The fire was first
discovered ia the stern Of the boat, and it
spread with such remarkable rapidly
that the passengers and crew had barely
time to throw plank to shore, and escape
with their lives. In fifteen minutes from
the time the fire broke out the entire boat
WAS enveloped in flames, and 500 burned
to the water. A portion Of the crew re-
manned on the ground to make efforts 70
recover the goods in the hold Of the boat
The balance Of crew, officers and passen-
gers, came to this place on Wednesday in
wagons. Here they purchased a fiat
boat, in which they embarked for down
river. They were forlorn looking crowd,
and will doubtless find the Muddy hard
road to travel in fla, boat.
We did not learn any particulars in
regard to the value Of the boat and cargo,
or the amount Of insurance thereon.

Reports just received BY the Freedmen g
Buresu from the Assistant Commissions of
the Freedmen's Bureau in Texas states thai
from all sources information comes of eucour-
aging results from the efforts of the Bureau:
complaints are few, while its benefits are
frankly acknowledged. Fault finding and ac-
cusaton come only from that class of men
VINO are but slowly learning to respect law,
lustce, and the rights of man; and who sui
lenly chafe under the control OF n Government
that curbs AID restraints their hitherto unbri-
died wills. The work done during the month
OF February has given great satisfaction, and
the prospects of an abundant hary continue
hopeful. The General says there are no indi-
cations of an increase Of loyal sentiment in the
State, though there is a visible abatement in
the number and harshness of the cases OF out
rage and maltreatment that come under the
cogniZance of the Bureau. lie says, further.
that self-interest has become the potent ally of
the Government in promoting harmony be-
tween the two races. The planter must have
the labor of the negro, and he cannot secure it
If he treats him with injustice or spleen. The
large body OF German population of the State,
which suffered so much under rebel rule for
Its devotion to the Union, has, this season, en-
tered extensively into the cultivation Of cot
ton, and have hired large numbers of freed
men. Many, too, of the class known as 'spoor
whites" in the stimuli ating air of freedom, are
improving their condition, some of them work
ing as many as twenty hands.

death was not unexpected.

his end was near, and he conversed cheerfully
with those around his bedside, assuring them
that all was well with him, and that he was

THE VETOED CIVIL RIGHTS BILL

1t was claimed by radicals this morning that
had the Senate gone INTO a vote to- day the civil
rights bill could have been carried over the
veto by the requisite majority by a tight
squeeze. They admit, however, that the
prospect of its passage when it again comes
up, which will probably be on Monday
NEXT. is dubious indeed. They virtually
concede that the strong points of the Presiden-
ual veto cannot fail to have their weight with
all candid minds, and that every hours pause
lessons the chance OF successful resistance to
it, Ii Is certain that no event less impressive
than the death of a fellow-member held in
such regard as Senator Foot, would have
caused the radicals TO fail 10 take action upon
the veto before It's powerful arguments could
