Collision in the Chesapeake.

The steamers Falcon and Louisiana
came into collision in the Chesapeake Bay,
shortly after one o'clock on Sunday morn
ing, and the Louisiana was sunk All her
passengers, baggage, express matter any
mails were saved and taken to Baltimore
by tho Falcon. The Louisiana left Norfolk
on Saturday night, touching at Old Point
Comfort for passengers. Her captain
states that the night was fine, and he
retired at | / O'Clock. At l.25 A. NJ, he
was awakened by hearing his whistle blown
and ran into the pilot-housc, whom he heard
a steamer blow two whistles close aboard.
He looked out Of the port window aud saw
the lights Of steamer steering squarely
for his vessel lie ordered "hard a port, !"
and was told that the steamer was already
"hard port He then ordered "hard
starboard, but before the order could be
executed the other vessel struck them
amidships, making large hole in the
Louisiana's side. When twas found that
she could not be kept aaoat, the other
steamer was hailed, and came alongside,
when the transfer Of the passengers,
baggage and mails was made After it
had been completed, the Louisiana sank
in forty feet Of water. She was Of 1900
tons burthen and valued at $3.50, 600.
Her cargo consisted of a large Quantity Of

An Interesting extract from an address
Of Henry Q, Hallowell, Esq. Of Sandy
Spring, Montgomery county, Nd win be
found IN the farmers department Of this
issue. Il treats Of the important subjects
Of Sheep Husbandry, Public Roads, and
Fencing Referring to the ravages Of
dogs among sheep, as one Of the drawbacks
to sheep culture, he propounds these ques-
tons q eau We not rise in our might and
demand, not as favor grudgipgly granted,
but as an imperative necessity, that legis-
lation shall be SO shaped as to protect our
aocks from this intolerable scourge2 Can
we not make the politician feel that we
have some rights which he is bound to re-
speetY Weare ever prone to look for some
scapegoat for our own shortcomings. Mr..
Hallowell Is not an exception. He has
committed the mistake Of holding the spoil
itician" responsible for the sins Of the far
mer. The farmers alone prevented the
adoption Of a proper dog law by the last
Legislature. When the subject was be-
fore that body for its consideration, petit
ton afleF petition poured in against it
from the farmers, far oatnumbering those
in favor of il. And when the Committee
on Agriculture, composed Of farmers, TO-
ported bill 'for the protection d sheep"
there was not word about sheep in il,
except in the title. The bill that was
passed was SO Objectionable that more than
half the State was exempted from its ope-
ration. The politicians" are willing to
pass any bill that the farmers may agree
upon; but, until they understand what
they want, and unite upon proper law,
they are not likely to get such an one passed
by the Legislature, because they are not
agreed among themselves. Tho giant
Enceladus, who was buried under Mount
Etna, aud whose turning upon his weary
sides 50 shook the island of Sicily, did not
realize, as that other slumbering giant, the
farmer, must do, when he awakes to q
proper realization Of the situation, that
Mount Etna was piled above him by his
own hands Let the farmers agree among
themselves as to the kind Of law they
want, and not pull in opposite directions
like badly broke yoke Of steers, aud they
can get any legislation that suits them.
What's the use Of laying the blame upon
the politician" when the farmers have no
one to blame but themselves. They dis
card the well known maxim that 'in union
there is strength" and Of all men they are
the most difficult to bring into cooperation
with each other. Let the Oranges take
up the matter, and then il is likely the
thing win be accomplished.
