Horrible Steamboat Disaster.
SEVENTY LIVES LOST,

An awful steamboat calamity occurr-
ed on the Potomac river on Friday of
last week at about noon. There were
some 100 passengers on the boat. The
origin of the fire is not known, but was
first discovered in the engine room,
where it probably had been smouldering
for some hours when it suddenly burst
out beyond all control.
Many Of the passengers were excur-
sionists and a large portion were women
and children. Many heart-rending
scenes occurred. A large number were
colored, among whom a frightful panic
prevailed. The lamentable statement is
made that quite number of families
were seeking the country for the heated
and sickly term, during the present
month. There were therefore compare
lively few male passengers on board, and
the females, not knowing what to do in
the emergency, were capable of little
more than frantic efforts to save the lives
Of their children.
