SENATOR SPRAaUE AND THE COLUMBIA CANAL.
The Columbia Ph@nix Of yesterday says !:
Colonel 8. A. Pearce, late Of the United States
Army. who. as agent OF Senator Sprague. Of
Rhode Island, purchased the Columbia Canal
and large portion Of the Klnsler "brick-
yard" property, several months ago. is now in
Columbia, accompanied oy Mr.. G. q. Tinsley. q
surveyor, who has commenced making sur
vey and estimates for widening and deepening
the canal. Colonel Pearce states that he has
resigned his position in til army, for the pur-
pose of taking charge of this work and that
Mr.. Sorague is determined to push ahead with
it, Active operations may not be commenced
during the summer months, but early IN Ooto-
ber, Colonel P. asserts. heavy force Of work
men will be employed" We hope that this
may be true but after all that has been said
OF Senator Sprague's enterprising intentions
concerning the development OF the manufac-
turing resources of South Carolina, we would
rather hear more of active operations and less
OF magnificent promises.

srATIsTICs OF INEBRIErY.

DR. Mckinley, of st. Louis, says the
Medical Reporter of that city, has COM
piled, after a very careful research, some
very interesting and startling statistics
of the inebriation of the United States.
By him the following statements are
made:
Taking the population Of this country
at 100000, of 800 men, l22 never
drink spirits at all; 100 drink moderately,
but not to intoxication; so are ephemeraf
drinkers; 25 drink periodically, called
"spreeing," and are habitual in
ebriates. 70 every lis who
drinks 3 are confirmed inebri-
ates; 25 are periodical drinker1 50are
ephemeral drinkers. One confirmed in~
ebriate to every 500 Of men. OF 100
women, 600 never taste alcoholics Of any
kind; 80 taste wine occasionally; IL
taste ardent spirits; 80 drink ale or beer
constantly; IL drink ardent spirits peri
odically, and 3 are habitual inebriates.
Preponderance in confirmed inebriates
Of the sexes: 3 men in every l78; 3 wo-
men in every 100; l confirmed inebriate.
to every 331l of women. Fewer wo-
men drink than men, but a larger pro-
portion ofthem become habitual drink
ers. Debauch drinkers rarely become
habitual, but periodical drinkers; the
latter rarely become habitual inebriates,
as the violence of Their drinking is too
great; and leads TO disgusting safety,
and hence to intervals Of sobriety.

was granted.
The Paschall House was sold at auction
Saturday to Daniel G. Taylor, for $49,-

valued at $2S0OO0.
The Commercial says that there is a
put-up job to carry the Broadway rail,
road bill through the Legislature, even
if Gov. Hoffman applies the veto.
No wonder the British Government is
tired Of her colonies, when it costs Sl3,>
100000 year to support the military
force in them, of which the colonial gov
ernments pay back but little more than
One-tenth.
The Memphis Appeal learns from a
person who was recently in Gibson
county that two hundred and fifty immi-
grants from Ohio, near Portsmouth, have
arrived in that county, and have bought
places and gone to work. The appeal
adds that the people of Gibson sent after
these immigrants, and thousands might
be obtained the same way.
The question Of the genuineness of a
Rill in case tried a few days since at

of its date with the paper it was written
on. 1t bore the die of the Hampshire
Paper Company, of Holyoke, and l. w.
Southworth, of that company, testifying
that the company did not exist at the

MEMPHIS, April 1.-THE Appeals
Little Rock dispatch this evening says
the following particulars of the loss Of
the steamer G. A. Thompson are OBJ
tanned from Mr.. D. A. Desmoines one Of
the pilots of the boat
The boat, commanded by Capt. Fra
zier, bound from Cincinnati to Little
Rock and Fort Smith, laden with bacon,
-four, agricultural implements, furniture
and lime, had aboard at the time the ac~
cident happened about eighteen passen>
gers, five of whom were ladies, including
the captains wife.
The boat struck Snag at Erwin's
Landing, forty miles below Little Rock,
on Saturday morning at two O'Clock, and
sunk Immediately in nine feet Of water.
The Stacking lime on deck set the boat
on fire shortly after sinking. Efforts
were made to throw the lime overheard,
but the crew were driven away by the
heat and flames. Immediate steps were
taken to save the ladies, which was ac>
cemplished with life boat, after consid-
cradle difficulty in keeping the men
back, in which shooting had to be
threatened.
The ladies were landed on a sand bar,
meanwhile the yawl used to save the
crew was swamped by too many Jump,
ing into it, which occasioned the greatest
loss Of life. Mr.. Desmoines was in the
yawl when it swsmped and foated it
down the river, his cries were heard and
the life-boat was sent to his rescue, and
succeeded in saving him, Major Hugh
Wilson and the carpenter OF the boat,
out Of about thirteen or fourteen. In the
yawl where it swamped seventeen lives
were lost, eight whites, including George
Elby, first clerk; John Perkins, second
clerk; the second cook and a lame cabin
boy, Of New Albany Ind Mr. Trundle
of Little Rock, and three other passen-
gers, names not yet known; nine coll

good swimmers, but drowned The Allen
going down Monday morning, took the
survivors of the crew, and the Caldwell
coming mp. brought the passengers to thi;
city-both boats treating the sufferers
with great kindness. The officers O
the Thompson behaved with great cool
ness. The ladies were hardly aware o
the extent Of the accident before theI
were safely landed. The boats cargo {
