regard it as a Democratic paper,

PRINCIPLE, it is governed alone by a.
truculent policy, which is ready to
receive anything, advocate anything.

ACCOUNT OF ONE OF rHEsVRVIVORs
List of the saved.

CAIRO, H., Oct. 28.-The steamer
Stouewall was totally destroyed by FIRE
at seven o'clock last night, fourteen
miles below Grand Tower. The fear
ful lossnof life is Fariously estimated
at from .150 to 200. Mr.. A. Schultz
Of New Orleans, one of the survivors,
came down on the Olive Branch, and
gives an apparently exaggerated ac-
count Of the loss of life. He esti-
mates the number Of cabin passengers
on the boat at fifty, and deck passen-
gers at 800. OF this number he thinks
not,ever thirty were saved. The fire
broke out while the passengers were
at supper, and was caused by a deck
passenger placing a lighted candle on
bale of hay.
Mr.. Schultz sought the hurricane
deck to avoid the crowd, and re-
mained until the fire drove him to a
desperate leap to the boiler deck,
and thence into the water. he seized
a young lady at the moment of jump
ing into the water. and swan safely
to land with her, and returned to
rescue others, but being seized by two
drowning men. was dragged under
and lost consciousness until rescued
by party in a skiff. He thinks the
young lady saved was a niece of Capt.
Scott aI 9eg +
Among those lost he reports Cap
tains Scott and Doty, Mr.. Phelps.
pilot. first and second clerks, and a
St. Louis merchant named Phelps.
Geo. Fulton was the only engineer
saved. Tho lowest estimate of the
loss of life we have heard is 100.
= Mr.. Schultz states that there were
very many laborers bound for Arkan-
sas to work on a railroad. This fact
would lead to the belief that the esti-
mated loss of life is not greatly exag-
gerated. The arrival of the steam ers
City of Cairo and Mary Houston is
aExiousiy looked for for further par
| tieulars.

BURNING OF STEAMER sFONEWALL.


The telegraph last night brought
us the appalling intelligence that
the steamer Stonewall, en- route
from st. Lonis to New Orleans,
with 500 tons of freight and
over 200 head of stock, together
with forty.three cabin passengers,
loo deck passengers. aud crew of
sixty persons. making total of two
hundred and fifty-three souls, took
fire near Neely's Landing, forty
FIVE miles above Cairo. in the Missis-
sippi, from the careless use of a can
die by the deck hands, on Wednesday
evening about dark, and was totally
destroyed, with ail her cargo, and
that from 200 to 220 human lives were
lost.
The pilot, it appears, made the fatal
mistake of running the boat on bar,
supposing that the people could wade
out, bat while the boat grounded in
two feet Of water, all around oher
there was five or six feet of water,
and the passengers and crew, driven
from the burning boat, all perished
miserably in the water, except some
thirty or forty, who were saved. Only
three Of the ecreR are known to have
been saved, though Captain Tom
SCOTT, who was in command. was
seen on log floating down the river,
and it is to be hoped he IVES also
saved. Hl
One of the most melancholy fea-
lures of these disasters, is that-the
books of the boat being lost--the
names of the victims viii never all
be certainly known, and many fam;-
lies will long look for intelligence Of
friends who are now sleeping their
last sleep beneath the Unsuitable
waters of the mighty Mississippi.
