MISCELLANEOUS.
EDINBURa sUNK.-The steamer Edirs
burg, bound from Louisville to New Or
leans, struck a snag and sunk on the Ar
kansas shore, near Island 40, some six
teen miles above this city, at IL O'Clock
Wednesday night. She lies in eight or
ten feet of water, but can be raised with
out much trouble. She had about thirty
passengers, and q full cargo of miscella-
neous freight, much of which can be
saved in a damaged condition. All the
freight in her hold will provs a loss, as
the water il some two or three feet over
her main deck. Her passengers were
brought to this city on the Belle st. Louis
yesterday, and some of them left for New
Orleans on the Richmond. The Edinburg
was owned by Captain Frank Y. Batchel-
Ter and Captain Lawrence Carter, and was
worth, probably, $40, 900. She, az
well as her freight, was insured
In Cincinnatti. Protest was entered here.
Capt. Everdon, of the Inflated s. O.
Day, arrived yesterday on the City Of
Alton, from the scene of the disaster to
that packet. We learn that the Day laid
up near Gaines Landing Saturday night.
While living at the bank the CITY of Alton
passed dowusand her swells caused the
Day to bump up against the bank so as to
scare all hands-on beard. No injury was
perceptible, however, and at Z am, Sun
day, she backed out and passed the Alton
putting out freight at some point below.
In a few minutes the Alton came along a
second time n her swells caused some
cOmmotiOn amOng the people on the Day,
who soon discovered their boat was sink
ing. Capt. Everdon succeeded in get
ting his wife on the hurricane roof Just as
the cabin parted from the hull. The lat
ter went down, turned over, dropped the
cargo, and again appeared on the surface.
The cabin, with the crew, hoated down
and lodged on the bar at Point Pleasant.
Some OF the cabin furniture was saved,
but the boat proves a total loss. She was
not insured. Capt. Everdon, who is one
of our citizens, has lost his all by the acct
dent and has the sympathy Of all who
know him..

bs an ornament to the Memphis and New
