The Grave of POLK.


The stranger who, in passing through
our city, turns aside to pay the tribute Of
sigh to the illustrious dead, as he un.
covers his head in presence of the nonu.
ment erected above the mortal remains
of James X. Polk, does homage not more
to the memory Of the departed states
man. than to the living devotion of his
wife. A chord in each heart, is touched
TO see how, in her sweet womanly way,
she has deprived this grave of its loneli-
ness by placing it in the pleasure grounds
of their beautiful home. Amid the
walks, which doubtless they planned to-
gether, and along which they have often
wandered, has she placed the tomb Of her
beloved. Time has, perhaps, softened
her sorrow until, instead of mourning the
tie severed by death, her Thoughts turn
forward to their blissful reunion in the
spirit world.
We have in our minds an ideal picture
of this lady who so graciously and grace
fully dispensed the inequalities of the
Presidential mansion. In all the do
mesticities and socialities of life she was
acknowledged helpmate to her honored
husband. And now, ia her widowhood
and retirement, it is honorable TO the
representatives OF her country that they
do not fail 10 visit her annually, and to
express by their high.toned courtesy
their respect for her own virtues and their
reverence for her husbands memory.

Copartnership Continued.

The partnership which long existed
between W. II. Brown, of Pittsburg, and
N. M. Jones, of this city, expired by linn
itation on the first instant, but by mu-
tual consent has been continued under
the same name. The firm has large and
increasing facilities for handling coal,
Mr.. Brown owning and running eleven
tow boats and over seven hundred barges,
and running the coal from his own Sc
iectsd mines, they are enabled to place
the best coal on the market at very low
figures. . The firm has an established
reputation for fair dealing, and worthy
of the liberal patronage heretofore en-
joyed. See their card elsewhere.

Thirty or Forty Lives Lost.
Partial List of the Dead and wound.
ed and the Rescued.
Particulars by Special to the Ledger.

The steamer Forsyth, which arrived
this morning, brought report of the loss
of the sternwheel steamer Emma No. 3,
which took place on Saturday, at six
o'clock a. m, at the foot Of Island No. 80,
about fifty miles above Memphis. The
Forsyth, however, was not present ct the
scene, aud brought only report that the
steamer was burned, but no reliable or
definite particulars. The Columbian ap-
pears to have arrived in time to be of as
sistance to the surviving sufferers, and
took the most of them to Cairo. Hence
we ordered dispatch from Cairo this
morning, and received about twelve
o'clock the following concise report of
the terrible calamity:
Special to the PUBLIC LEDGER
CAIRO, Feb. 20.-The steamer Emma
No. 3, from New Orleans on her way to
Cincinnati, struck snag on the morning
Of. Saturday, the 10Th instant, while in a
chute fifty miles above Memphis, and
while slowly sinking caresned over
enough to upset the stoves, which caused
her to take fire, consuming in short time
all above water. Loss Of life is estimated
between thirty and forty.
The first clerk, Walter Marrnta, lost
his life while nobly risking it the attempt
to save lady passengers.
Mr.. Lineberger, first engineer, died
from exhaustion after reaching the shore.
The following is list of lost as furn.
ished by the clerk of the Columbian:
Otto johnson, New Orleans; James 7.
Shuber, Lexinton, KY; John Coyle, bar
keeper, Cincinnati; three Frenchmen,
New Orleans (names unknown), in
charge of lot of wines; Lineberger, first
engineer, Mrs. Lewis and daughter, Gov
ington, KY; second chambermaid (col.
ored), Cincinnati; Thomas Bunnell, pi.
lot.
The following are supposed to be lost:
Three ladies, from New Orleans, Mem.
phis and Vicksburg, respectively, names
unknown; Walter Maratta, first clerk,
and about twenty or twenty-five others.
The following are among the saved:
James Msrratts, captain; Caleb Mar
rata, mate; William Attenbough, pilot;
David Porter, second clerk; Charley
-, second mate; Edward, the watch
man; Parker, the cook; Charles Brown,
porter; and the head chambermaid.
The boat was laden with pig iron,
wines, etc and 400 bales OF cotton which
were added at Memphis, all of which is
probably lost.
The officers of the steamer Columbian
did everything possible to aid the suf-
ferers, and brought to Cairo all who
desired to come.
The Emma No. 3 had on board four
hundred bales of cotton, two hundred for
Evansville and two hundred for Cincin-
natl, besides a considerable cargo of SUI
gar from New Orleans. She was en-
gagged in the New Orleans and Cincin-
natl trade. 1t is known that one lady
got aboard the Emma No. at Memphis.
She is doubtless the one referred to in
the dispatch above.

NO ISSUES.

It's becoming frequent charge,
that--tAeFe arc, no issues between
the Republican and Democratic
parties, and that one might
as well vote for one as tue other,
Now does not every one know that
it is a cherished hope with the
South that they may once again get
power and be able to set aside the
anti-slayery amendments to the
,constitution,ofUnited States ? And
lis not this very thing to be accom-
| plished through the aid of the Dem
ocratic party of the North 2 If the
Democracy were in the Congress of
the United States, would they hesi-
tate moment to make the attempt !?
Has not Judge Thurman, in his
speech in Cincinnati, to the "Young
Democracy" declared this to be
part and parcel of the Democratic
