Our readers must bear patiently with
us tor the appearance OF our paper
for a few weeks yet. We have now en-
gagged the services of IA practical printer,
whom we think in time will improve its
Typographical appearance SO as to make
oar journal presentabo.
We are compelled to priut the same ad-
vertisements on both sides. This is owing
to the circumstance that Mr.. Gould, tho
former publisher has had, and still has, a
portion OF our material at his Office in En-.
porium. We hope to get these shortly,
and when We do, will give more reading
matter, and print such paper as uci.
iher our readers nor ourselves need be
ashamed Of.
The Office requires overhauling. Some
new type must be procured, besides other
material and we expect our friends every

but with the necessary wherewth to pay
workmen and other necessary expenses.
IF our friends do this, we promise to iulfl

Lost Scenes dnd Inc dents.
St. Louis, Oct. 2S.-A terrible disas
ter occurred on the Mississippi River last
evening, in which it is supposed eve 2OO
lives were lost. The steamer Stonewall,
Capt. Scott, which lett here on Tuesday last
| for New Orleans, when about 45 miles above
Cairo, was discovered to be ou fire. The
boat haG a deck load Of hay, ana the fire
spread so rapidly that all attempts to extin-
guish the flames proved uuavailing. The
Stonewall was then run agroud, but
owing to the depth of water between the
boat and the shore, only about 30 pasSen-
gers succeeded in reaching it. The an.
uoucement of the disaster has caused great
excitement mere, many of the passengers
being residents Of this city and fmther
particulars are awaited with great anxiety.
Second Dispatch- Statement Of one Of the
Passengers.
St Louis, Oct. 2S.-Mr Phelps, plan.
ter of Shreveport La, has arrived hele from
the wreck of the steamer Stouewali, aud
furnishes the following brief particulars of
the terrible disaster 20 that boat.
The boat caught fire at 62 O. clock on
Wednesday evening at pointa little below
Neely's Landing, and l25 miles below st.
Louis, from candle which the deck pas
sengers had placed near some hay while they
were engaged playing cards. The Stone-
wall was run on gravel bar, the pilot sup.
posing that the passengers could wade
ashore. Unfortunately the bar there wds
slough, and here it Was thSt the larger num-
Der Of them were drowned The boat was
run on the bar but two feet, and the shall
lowest point about her bad five or six feet
of water. She had 50 much hay on board
that she burned very quickly, aud all at
tempts to extinguish the fire were without
avail. The Belle OF Memphis came up at
8! o'clock (three hours after the accident),
aud rendered all the assistance possible.
Out of 252 passengers and crew only 30
are known to be saved. The last seen OF
Capt. Scott, he was floating down stream on
a log. The people at Neelys Landing saw
the light, and FASTENED to assist the unfor,
tunate passengers One man rescued 10
persons with skitf. Had it not been for
their help all would have been lost. A gen.
tleman from Paducah Ky, swan ashore
with a lady on his back, and at her entreaty
returned to save her child. While swim.
ming ashore he was grasped by drowning
man, and compelled to shake him off in or.
der to save himself One man was taken
from the wreck so badly burned that he
died as soon as he reached the shore. Capt.
Dandy of Shreveport, La, was saved.
There were 80 cabin passengers aud 60 OF
the crew. There were quite number of
ladies on board, and all a.e supposed to be
lost except one, FntkersoD, the pilot, and
enc the carpenter, were the only members
of the crew saved.
The Stonewall was owned BY Capt John
Shaw and Denuis Loag, the latter Vt Louis

had about 500 tons of freight, including
270 cattle, horses, and mules. They were
