not been forced to give up the project
on account of the illiberal spirit man
ifested. The idea which possesses
some people-that because a man is
looking for place to locate he win,
of necessity, be obliged to buy the
property they have for sale, and that
they can demand whatever price they
please, is injurious to the communi-
ty and injurious to the individuals
who entertain it; and it is but little
wonder that their boarded wealth so
often falls into spendthrift hands,
to be scattered to the winds. Like
the buried talent, it was worthless to
its owner, aud worthless to commu-
nifty. It purchased no blessing, did
no charities, conferred 10 favors,
or bestowed no benefits; but wrapped
in its web of selfshness, it eat into
the vitals of its owner and cankered
there. 1t had no virtue in it and
could transmit none. OF the same
piece is the spirit manifested towards
those already here, whose businesses
have added wealth and population to
our city. If they wish to extend
their buildings and desire additional
grounds on which to build, so as to
increase the number of their work
men-Hit is worth more to you than
any one else; you must pay so much
for it"-the enterprise is crushed,
the towns growth is checked,a and the
property remains dead, instead of
becoming active with life. They
may have heard of these things, too,
and it may have been one reason
"why they didn't come" It is well
to consider these matters, and the
effects they may produce. Occasion
ly people stand in their own light
and wonder they cannot see. Stand
out out of the light, and see how
quickly your perceptions will be
sharpened.

NEW YoRK, Dec 2S.-The Evening Post
has the following:
70 light that, early In 1869, the commander OF
the United States steamer Nipsie, then at
Port-au-P Prince, was directed by the Secretary
of the Navy, at the request of the President
to make q thorough investigation as to the
condition Of San Domingo, politically, imam
ciallv and otherwise with view to negOtiat-
ing treaty for the purchase of that country.
This officer Commander SelfEdge, car
ried out the instructions fully, and made
q long written report to the President giving
all the facts that came under his observation,
and concluded by expressing his judgement
that the purchase Of the San Domingo portion
Of the island would be constant source Of
serious trouble TO this country, and in no re-
spect whatever advisable. This report was
never permitted 70 see the light, but was
quietly suppressed by the officials in whose
hands it was, for fear that It would prove dis
sstrous IS to the annexation scheme.
Just so. And all the facts reltive
to the matter will necessarily be
brought out by the appointment of
the commission to investigate and
report upon the matter, The honesty
of Summers course, in view of the
possibility of such facts being
brought to light, may well be ques
toned, when we find him arrayed in
such great hostility to it, as to make
it the occasion for an uncalled for
and abusive assault upon the Presi-
dent.

The NICK WALL DISASTER.
ONE HUNDRED LIVES LOST /
An Awful Disaster on the Mississippi
River Near Grand Lake-SteameT
Nick Wall Snagged and Sunk in,
Porty Feet of Water.
DEATHS FIENDIsH CARNIVAL.

VIcxsBURe, MISS, December 2l.-Mr. Il.
G. Lyons, the second clerk, and the only officer
of the Nick Wall who has reached our city
from the scene of disaster, makes the following
statement concerning the sinking of the Wall:
Sunday night, about 9 O'Clock, while the boat
was approaching Grand Lake, stiff wind pre-
vaihng drove her against snag, which pene-
trated the hull, causing the hurricane roof to
fall in and the cabin to careen to the starboard
few minutes afterward.
The boat hoated three miles, settling to the
hurricane roof meantime, when the Seminole
met her and towed her to the nearest sand
bar. The widest confusion existed, and
shrieks could be heard several miles of. There
were fifteen cabin passengers and about one
hundred and twenty-five emigrants; Of the
f rneI number nine were lost, and of the lat
ter about thirty The weight OF forty wagons
and about nine hundred beef barrels on the
roof is supposed to have caused the cabin to
give way to the conclusion. Numbers were
held in the cabin and kept III waterIp to their
chin for some time. The cabin boy escaping
from within informed Captain Poe OF the To-
cality OF his wife. He cut hole through the
root with an ak at the idential spot, and drew
her out In a lifeless condition, but brought her
to consciousness. She received cash IN the
head with the ak,
The Seminole stayed with her until Monday
evening and did all they could for the unfor-
tunates, recovering seventeen bodies and
great deal OF freight. All OF the crew were
saved except the pastry cook. A bridal, party
OF four, consisting OF the groom and bride and
the brides parents, who got on at Memphis,
and were en- route for Grand Lake, almost in
sight of their destination, were all drowned.
Their bodies were recovered. The newly
married couple arc said to be named Csrpen-
ter. The body of Colonel E. W. Taylor, of
the firm Of Taylor and Graham, Jefferson,
Texas, who was Colonel of the Nineteenth
Texas Infantry, was recovered and inferred at
Maryland Landing. The books and papers
were saved. Mr.. Lyons was unable to learn
the names of the lost. The Magenta brought
down number OF the passengers.

STATEMENT OF A PASSENGER.

The passenger mentioned states that at the
time named eight OF ten cabin passengers were
sitting about ths stove when they felt the
shock. He then ran out the front door of the
cabin, and was about TO return when the cab
in roof caved in, dashing barrels, wagons,
ploWs and other articles into the cabin, where
everybody had rushed who could get out of
their state-room.
Another statement is as follows:
Was thrown against the smoke-stack on the
starboard side, as she was then falling on her
larboard side; was twice pulled back by the
hair, and third attempt was made; some one
caught me by the feet in struggling to save
themselves, and pulled my shoe of. Finally
I managed to gain the hurricane deck, and
there saw no earthly chance to escape, as the
roof was by this time crowded, everyone seek
ing something on which TO float. The boat
was by this time under water, nothing remain
ing out but the hurricane-deck and the pilot
house.

THE WRECK.

Was still floating down the river. We did not
know what moment she would sink. Women
vera screaming for husbands, and children
for parents. Just as we thought all hopes had
past, we saw the lights OF boat coming up
the river, and everyone that could shouted for
assistance. James Yandervoorst, assistant pilot,
lit a piece Of paper in the pilot-house and
showed it as a signal Of distress.
In about fifteen minutes O friendly boat
aoated alongside and made fast to the wreck,
when the staging was thrown out, and all that
were able got on board the Seminole. After
the Seminole came along side, Vandervoorst
and Richard Dill, porter ofthe ill-fated steamer,
cut through the hurricane roof, and found Mrs.
Poe, the captains wife, wedged in among a lot
of barrels, boxes, &c. She was brought into
the cabin of the Seminole, and IS now doing
well. The dead were then brought in and
