the boats collded. The night was dark
one, though not foggy. The America
went into us on the larboard side, year
the baggage room. Only our guards were
cut, and few Of the top timbers Of the
hull. Immediately the flames rose above
the top OF the hurricane root, on which l
was standing. The States backed toward
the Indiana shore. and then her head
swung out into tho stream. She went
down in few minutes, aud Is now lying
a short distance from the shore, burned
TO the waters edge. The America blew
two W Whistles, which were answered by one
from the States, or II was all that could
be heard on account Of the high wind.
The present accident is the second one
which has happened 70 the Cincinnati
and Louisville Mail Line for the last
thirty years. The previous accident
was the blowing up Of the Gen. Lyle,
which happene two years ago.
The pilots of both boats were paid
higher wages than others, because OF
being regarded as unusually reliable.
Captain Written, Of the America, says
that he was in the pilot house just before
the collision. The America gave two
whistles, but he heard no response from
the States; nor did the pilot. The
America signaled again, blowing twice
for the Indiana side. The URited States
gave single whistle in response, which
was the wrong reply.

The Great Steamboat Disaster.

The Louisville Courier Journal intro
duces its long and interesting account of
The terrible disaster as follows:
We have additional particulars this
morning of the great steamboat disaster
near Florence, Indiana. With the
further news, the catastrophe loses meme
of its appalling features. The scenes on
that terrible Friday night must have
reioiced the fends 10 hell to look upon
SO full of human woe, and misery, and
despair we're they. The sweeping, hiss
ing pillows of fame, the cold, dark,
freezing river, the piercing December
blast, that mingled its ceaseless wailings
with the means and cries of dying men
and women, all lent their horrors TO the
dreadful carnival.
At IL o'clock the two magnificent
steamers, with three hundred souls on
board, were bearing proudly on their
way, their bright signal lights piercing
the gloomy blackness of the lowering
night, and the roaring and dashing of
their mighty wheels almost drowning the
sounds Of mirth and gayetY that echoed
through the long cabins, and passed
cheerily on from deck to deck Little
thought was given of TIE morrow, and lit
lie dreamed those on board how near we're
tse Shores Of eternity. The whistles sound
ed. None but the river men knew what
the whistles said. Somehow, TO them,
that single signal from the Inflated
United States rang out like 3 death
Shrek upon the night wind. A few
minutes, and the great steamers were
nearly upon each other. The United
States was backing. Trembling from
stem to stern with the sudden check, her
great wheel rolled grumbliDgly, Bat it
was too late. The America had not
seen the danger In time, and was
only just preparing TO back out,
when, with fearful conclusion. the two
monster boats came together. A recoil
followed, aud then they came together
again. In the first collision the America
ran nearly through the baggage-room
and into the hull of the United States,
bursting open the barrels Of petroleum
on the guards, and in en- instant the
whole forward part of the crushed aEd
splintered boat was wrapped in great
sheets Of white fame, which quickly ran
10 its farthest extremity, and leaped over
and caught the decks Of the America.
There were meme then who were not
fully apprised Of the danger. The fur
naces aud lamps had touched the fearful
train. and now both boats were being
rapidly consumed. The America backed
aud gained the shore while the United
States was sinking. All bat two Of the
passengers Of the latter reached land in
safety. The ignited petroleum ran out
from the burning boats to the water. and
for a space Of quarter Of q mile around
the surface Of the river was
sheet Of fame. Leaping from the
sinking aud burning United States, The
unfortunate passengers met death ~

end falling over into the river, some
falling upon and being under struggling
