a nSE nSNs
-'' wednesday Morning n jan JAM a. 1853.
Yesterday was a bright. clear day, with
springlike temperature.
Business upon the landing seemed to have re-
ceived impetus from the weather, and the Jackets
that left had excellent trips of both freight and
passengers.
The officers of the Dora have our thanks for
favoIs.
The Leo arrived yesterday morning from shreve-
p The Submarine No. fs-the boat that raised the
Era No. l0--has gone up Ouachta river for the
tha success viii Ti her U sf
Capt. White yesterday resigned command of the
Lotawsnna, and her former commander, Capt. II.
j. Brinker, resumed bis post.
Upon reaching the upper landing yesterday,
about the hour of P. NJ, our attention Yves at
tracted by q large assemblage at the foot of Gra-
vier street. Upon arriving at the scene Of excite
ment We saw man, white one, in the hsuds OF
several metropolitan police officers, and be had
apparently been very badly treated, we presume
by the aforesaid metropolitans. Upon inqdiring
OF one of them, who seemed to be loath to give
any information, we learned that he was guilty Of
the atrocious act of MORALLY wounding two ne
groes, who in obedience to the instructions given
them by their friends, so-called, knights of the
csrpet-bag,. had attacked him upon the wharf.
After committing this most heinous o6enss against
the laws of Radicalism and Louisiana, the poor
man sought refuge under the wharf and remained
in the water for nearly an hour. When. we last
saw Linn he was utterly exhausted. and these "hu-
name" policemen then consolidation having
dragged him for about hundred yards-t0 place
him in vehicle in order to convey hita to the
lookup.
Loss OF THE STEAMER ALOE Boat and Cargo
a Total LosS.-By the arrival of the steamer
Crescent yesterday we learned the following in
regard to the loss of this well known lowes coast
packet Our information was obtained from the
officers of the Ill fsted steamer, as well ss from
her passengers, and the officers of the Crescent.
At $3.50 P. M, January 20, as the Aloe was back.
ing out from Dunbar's plantation. six miles below
the city, she became manageable, and taking
sheer on her pilot she drifted upon the wrSck OF
the Lizzie Hancock; part Of the wreck caught
her about midsbips, crushing In her timber, max
ing break which caused her to sink in about one
hour and half. At the time Of the accident
there were aboard the Aloe over forty passengers,
end the scene, as related to us, is INDISPENSABLE.
For many minutes the greatest confusion prevailed
and but for the cool conduct of her commander,
Capt. Wood, we should doubtless hsys the
melancholy duty to day imposed upon US of re-
cordiDg another large sacrifice of life As 1t was,
every soul on board reached the shore in, safety.
When the Crescent left the scene of disaster the
Aloe, with her larboard side under water near to
the top of the wheehouse, and her starboard
side almost out of water, has probably ere this
capsized. Her passengers and crew: were
brought up to the city on the Crescent. Hessrs.
Thos. Henderle and A. Seicsneyder, her clerks,
succeeded in saving her books, papers and valua-
bles.
The Aloe was built at Gretns, La, in 1866. aud
valued at about $751; 0O She was owned by her
commander, Capt. Wood, and was unfngured.
The boat and cargo will prove total loss.
The manifest of the cargo on board the steamer
Aloe at the time she sunk will be found ia our
marine column. :.
