Southern. Nothing can defeat 1t,
but divergence Of views and want

DIVISION OF THE SrATE.--1his
question is acquiring prominence,
and the press is beginning to speak
out upon ii. Some are in favor Of II
from the evident hope that the now
State capitals will be located at their
county seats. The Dallas Herald,
which is not actuatcd by any such sel.
6sh consideration, thus speaks out
upon the question. "Weventurs to say
that their sentiment, when they shall
take the matter fully into considcra,
ton, will be opposed to division at
the present time. Under the present
heavy burdens Of taxation, it is an
onerous duty for them to dcfray the
expenses of the State as At present
osgsnizsd. The expenses Of a new
State cut Oh from the old one will be
fully equal to those of the entire ter
ritoy at present, and in one State or
tho other there will be less than half
the people now constituting the State
Of Texas to foot the bills, or, raise
the revenue. However, il the Con-
vcntion shall determine to divide the
State, (Which We believe they clearly
have no warrant for doing,) We hope
they will suffer themselves to be ac-
tuated by no local considerations, but
consult the general interests Of the
people.
" We may find il incun bent upon
us to hold different view Of the sub
ject Of division but this will depend
upon contingencies that may or may
not occur; and we have reserved
some remarks for future occasion. y
The Waco Register also remarks
We think on this subject As VIC
have always since the subject came
up for discussion by tho press and
the Austin Convention, and that is,
that it is suicidal proceeding
We hare been always opposed to
division, and ever expect to be. The
only consideration that would cause
US to favor ii, would be tho hope Of
escaping from radical and military
rule.

ONO RivEa.-Ths Louisville
Courier .Journal Of the TIL, contains
the full particulars OF the late stsan-
boat disaster on the Ohio river,
growing out of collision, on the night
of the 4th, of the mail steamer United
States aud American, in which so
many lives were lost We regret
that our limits prevent Us from pub.
fishing the painful but Interesting
details. The night was exceedingly
dark, and the passengers were all
asleep when the accident occurred.
All was confusion and confederation,
causing many who could otherwise
have been saved, to lose their lives.
The boats ran together twice, zhen
the American caught Ere on her up.
per decks from asmes on the States,
she having had aboard twenty five
barrels of petroleum, al Of which
took ERE almost instantly. The
Ladies' Cabin of thu United States
had that evening been tho scene Of
unusual gayety. Three bridal par.
ties on board full Of the happiness Of
their new love, youss and beautiful
girls just blushing iato wouanhood,
gallant cavaliers paying homage at
bsau.y's shrine. Conversation,
music and dancing, served to make
the hours fly. Rut the hours in
creased, and, weary At last, the dan
GERS had just dispersed with merry
good nights and wishes Of pleasant
dreams, when = shock was. felt, aud
then came the awful, sickening cry
Of the boss 10 on frc and sinking.
In d minute tits scene changed
from the gaye'y Of youth toa carnival
Of death. People, old and young, men,
women and children rushed into the
cabin, partly dressed, husbands and
wives, brothers and sisters, fathers
and children, looking At each other
in agony, too many, alas taking =
final view Of their loved onUs.
