The steamer Missouri while on her
passage from New York to Havana
via Nassau, took fire during a gale Of
wind on the 22d instant, and was
burned to the water line. The fire
was discovered about 0 A. NJ, In the
pantry, and soon bursted out In vol
umes Of fame amidshlp aud spread
rapidly over the vessel. The boats
were launched Immediately, but all
except one were swamped. Twelve
persons only were saved BY the boat
which was not swamped, and they
landed at Abaco about 6 o'clock on
the evening Of the same day. and from
there were taken to Nassau In a small
.chooner. There were ten female pas
sengers on board who were left to
perish. The flames soon compelled
those who we're left to jump Into the
sea. Those In the boat say that Is was
= terrible sight to see those In the
water cllnging to the swamped boats
and begging tor assistance. There
were, all told, between 80 aud 100 per-
IONS on board. The captain Is said to
have used every effort to save the lives
of the passengers. Among those lost
MAS Colonel A. S. Evans of San
Francisco. As in the list Of those
saved no mention Is made OF the
names Of the captain aud officers, We
presume they all met their deaths
while at their posts Of duty. We can-
not imagine anything more appalling
than to be OIL roard Of n burning ship
A. sea with no means Of rescue and
certain death In Wow.

THE OLD FLAG MARCHING ON.

Europe, on q selt-appointed, proud,
and somewhat novel mission, being
for the purpose Of carrying the
national flag Of the United States, the
old stars and stripes unfurled through
England and Scotland. Ireland would
have been included in the programme,
but this wa deemed unnecessary, that
country being considered pretty we'll
ilcllned toward Americanism, and the
people In their exuberant zeal might
make public demonstrations not COM
pstible with their loyalty toward tho
government under which they live.
Scotland, too, although moro loyal to
English rule, might not object to the
old fng, but England was the ohjec-
tive point. The circumstance Of this

rhankfulness, it is the citizens of the
United States, whose government is
their creature, subject to their be-
hests; who have reserved to them
selves ample civil and religious free
dom and equality before the law
who during the last twelve months
have enjoyed exemption from any
grievous or general calamity. and to
whom prosperity in agriculture,
manufactures, and commerce has
been vouchsafed. Therefore, by
tnese cOnSlueratlOnS, recommend
that on Thursday, the 2Sth day of
November next, the people meet in
their respective places of worship,

ments to God for his kindness and
bounty.
