Since her return from the expedition in
Bailin's Bay, in search of Buddington and
the Inflated Polaris. the Tigress has been
considered sort of marine prodigy, an
object of reverence to fishermen herea-
bouts. owing to her marvellous escapes
from the hprgS and hurricanes which she
then encountered on the northwest coast
of Greenland. After the Poaris matter
had been disposed of, she was fitted ont
for 4 seal fishing trip and was returning
south nj the time with her catch, when the
terrible disaster already reported deprived
her Of ali steam facilities.
This Friday morning had an interview
with Captain Bartlett OF the whaling steam
pr Panther, which brought the intelligence.

by terrific explosion OF her boiler, which
created great terror ard confusion as

quence, all steam facilities had been de-

We copy from the New York Herald
the financial views Of southern man, as
given to the correspondent of that paper
The article, if it represents the view gen
orally entertained in the southern and
western sections of the country, is well
calculated to excite alarm And whether
or not it represents the general view, is OF
comparatively slight Importance, if that
sentiment is sufficient TO control the votes
OF those sections of the country The idea
is full of peril of Aareatenings and danger
to the Atlantic states.
Often during the war of 1861, and the
events which preceded it we had occasion
to say that the north and the south were
not the only sections of our vast country
OF diverse productions and interests. be-
tween which irritating ana bitter questions
were likely to arise; that agitation and
tanaticsm had lashed the people of the
north into fury about slavery-a question
that easily admitted of a peaceful solution
while lying dormant were matters vet
to arise, possessing a thousand times its
capacity for disturbance, danger and even
war. One OF these, the question of the
dollar, is already looming up black rs a
thunder cloud. 1t is the old issue between
riches and poverty-between the man who
rides in his carriage and fares sumptuous-
" every day. and gaunt. hungry and des-
perate poverty that Scowls at him from
the mud Of the street The debtors of the
south and west with tect on their Slvan-
nahS and praireS, say through their rep
resentatyeS in Congress, we are tired of
our money slavery to the east, and will
shak, of our bonds What agitation did
for the personal hondmca of the south, it
shall do for us the vaSsals TO the capital
lords of the east Through legislation we
will have qnasi-agrianism, and divide the
wealth of the land We have the votes In
Congress, and western President and
can do it,

of the South what answer can we make
