Special Dispatch to the Louisville Courier.l
MADISON, Ind, Aug. 6.-The steamer
Gen. Lytle blew up about eighteen miles be-
low this city this evening.
The ST. Charles, Of the Peoples Line,
passed the Lyle lying at Westport When
near Bethlehem, the Lytle came up to the
st. Charles, and in the attempt to pass her
was blown up.
The boats were very near together when
the accident occurred, not even ten feet
apart. No one on the st. Charles was in
jured.
Capt GOODMAN, of the Lytle, is dead. His
remains are now lying at the residence of
his brother-in-law, Col. S. B. SERRING, in
this city
The Captain of the St. Charles says they
were not racing and exonerates Capt Con
MAN and the crew of the Lyle from all
blame.
The Engineer of the Lyle, who is very
badly Ecalded, says his boat was carrying
but l55 pounds of steam when the accident
occurred.
1t is supposed that from 10 to 20 lives
were lost. All the deck hands and fremen
were lost The passengers are marked miss
ing who are supposed to be killed.
The Lyle, after the accident, took fire 1;
but the flames were extinguished and the.
wreck towed ashore.
The killed and wounded were brought to
this city, and are receiving the kindest at
tentiOn from our citizens.
The Lyle is almost total wreck. This
sad accident has cast gloom and sorrow over
our whole city.
In the list of passengers furnished in the
dispatch to the Louisville Courier, we dis

GEN. sHERTDAN VS.. GEN. BANKS.

Gen. BANKS, of Massachusetts, upon whose
cheeks the word Louisiana should always
put blush, for within its limits he made
most egregious failures as a conductor Of
of civil government and a commander Of
military expeditions and at length laid
down the baton Of Office with a reputation
considerably smirched, has had the temerity
10 write a reply to the letter from the editor
Of the New Orleans Times which we pub
lisbed yesterday morning. The redoubtable
hero Of the Red River expedition, thus
eulogizes the red republican reyolutionists Of
the Convention, and calumniates the Pres
ident and the law abiding officials Of New
Orleans, who strove to avert the mischief
which Radical plotters had prepared. He
says:
"The Convention was the ostensible, and
not the latent cause Of the outbreak. II
was peaceful and lawful assembly. One
word from the recognized authorities of the
United States in New Orleans would have
secured its adjournment. There we're other
causes Of ofiense than, the convocation of
this assembly. Its members were and lad
been hrm supporters Of the Government,
and decided opponents Of its enemies. They
we're therefore marked men. The wounds
inflicted upon the body Of DR.. DOsTIE will
show by their number and result, the intent
and assurance Of the murderers. / knew
him well. No country ever gave birth to
more unselish man, a truer patriot, or a
more devoted friend Of liberty. He and
his associates were dangerous men to the
enemies Of this country. The unseen hand
which smOte him was that which applied
the torch to the city Of New York, and by
which LINCOLN fell. His death will be
avenged and in this, as in all trials of good
men, the blood Of the martyrs will be the
sustenance of the church."
This rigmarole is best answered by Gen.
SHERIDAN, the commander of the Depart
ment, in his dispatch of August 1st, to Gen.
GRANT. Speaking of the members of the
bogus Convention, and Of his apprehension
Of the results of their conduct, he says:
The leaders usre political agitators and reuo-
LutioHary men, and the action Of the ConUentiou
'uas liable to produce breaches Of the peace. Z
had made up nly mind TO arrest the head men II
the proceedings Of the contention lcere calculated
70 disturb the tranquility Of the Department, but
l had no cause for action until they COM
mitted the overt act.
Gen. SHERIDAN was absent when the crisis
arrived, and Gen. BAIRD, the post COM
mandant, failing to perceive his duty, or re-
fusing to do it, the "breaches of the public
peace, feared by Gen. SHERIDAN, were i'm

TNJUNCTIONs IN NEW YORK.

They have had an injunction epidemic in
New York city. A few weeks ago, very
suddenly, an unobserved law was discovered
prohibiting the sale of lager-beer and other
innocent drinks, such as rife whisky, bran
dy, wine, etc, etc. This was too much for
the good people Of Gotham. When the
officers began to enforce the law, the reign
Of injunctions commenced. They were OBJ

(or thousands, we really forget which,, per
day, until the beer-saloons and grog-shops
were free again. Then i, was extended, and

1t might have gone on until om's-day, if
it hadn't been for the same disease, to
limited extent breaking out among the Me
tropolitan police in this city. As soon as
the report of this case got to New York,
model Radical judge BARNARD, took the
alarm, opened his Court, and thus brings
the injunction epidemic to an abrupt close:
a don't believe in all these iniunctions.

Whatever be the result, the central fact
that gives it importance is, that it is not a
contest about principles, bat a contest be-
tween the Union men Of the State and the

forms Of these parties are almost identical,
and sufficiently conservative to suit the
most conservative Democrat in the North.
There is no faint Of radicalism about them,
nor about the candidates of either party.

THE Cincinnati Gazette assiduously courts
the favor and patronage of the Tennessee
Radicals 1t keeps regular correspondent
at this point, and provides itself with spe-
cial letters and dispatches from all points in
the State upon occasion Of Radical meet
ings BY this time it should be familiar
with the names Of things and places, but
we observe in an editorial notice of the re-
cent Knoxville meeting, it speaks of FLETCH-
Err, the Secretary Of State, as FLETCHER
WEBSTER.
For the enlightenment Of the Gazette we
will state that there is nothing Websterian
about A. J. FLETCHER, and, though his
baptisrnal name is ANDREW J., there is moth
ing Jacksonian or Johnsonian about him.
FLETCHER WEBSTER was the name Of a son
now deceased, We believe, Of the great DAN
TEL WEBSTER, and out Of respect to the
great defender Of the Constitution" we pro-
test against adding his name as a surname
to one who has signalized his official career
in this State by war upon constitutional
liberty, and is bitter and malignant oppo-
nent to ANDREW JOHNSON, now at the head
Of the true men of the country who are en-
deavoring to uphold the principles Of An
DREW jackson and DANIEL WEBSTER.
We make this correction for the sake Of
the truth of history, and hope the Gazette, if
it will intermeddle in our affairs, will learn
to call things by their right names.
