=, STEAMER WITH AN
Imam gives the following
collision of the steamer Cor

4e steamer Corinthlan, which, under
command of Capt. Menzies, was safely
Jerthed at Yorkhill, near Glasgow, report that
vessel to have been in collision with an iceberg
on the 9Th ult She left Montreal with a cargo
of grain and some passengers four days pre-
viously, and from the moment she cleared the
dock, she sailed through fog, which, to use
the words of one who was on board, appeared
thick as hedge" The day In question still
saw the steamer enveloped In dense mist and
although the order was, in nautical phrase,
dead slow ahead, "a surging sea astern dashed
toe vessel onward at . considerable speed.
About o'clock in the morning the man at the
masthead suddenly saw the large form of a
mountain of ice start out of the prevailing
gloom, and almost before the warning cry of
danger ahead" had crossed his lips, the whole
ship quivered from a collision. With sharp
cracking sound the bowsprit and fgurehead
were dashed TO splinters, while the stern was
twisted in peculiar manner. The vessel i'm
mediately on the shock rebounded, which was
fortunate occurrence, for large mass Of ice
fell with heavy plunge into the sea, causing
pillows which assisted in keeping the ship from
the ice. 1t was with intense satisfaction that
the officers ascertatned that the part carried
away was high enough TO prevent the steamer
making water in an ordinary sea. A slight in
spection showed that if the slightest degree Of
steam power had been in force the ship would
have been dashed to pieces against the hard
ice. 1t was matter for congratulation that
the damage was Of such a comparatively trih-
ing nature, and indeed the escape was matter
of establishment to all on board. The vessel
carried about 40 passengers. and, as might be
expected, the alarming noise caused something
of the nature of panic among the majority

A Reyenueful ORGAN

The stomach is a reyengeful organ. If we assign
1t indgestble food it not only refuses to perform its
Office, but inicts upon unspeakable tortures, such
as those Of indigestion, collie, cholera morbus &c,
Not content with giving us pain, it frequently inau-
gurates an excessive and wasting diarrhea, called
dysentery, which carries us to our graves. With a
view to prevent these consequences as soon as the
stomach gives notice by premonitory twinges that its
cargo is not to its liking wineglassful or two of
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters should be swallowed.
This admirable digestive cordial will promptly rec
oncie the refractory organ to its contents and pre-
which the presence of ndgestible food in the stom
ach is liable to produce. The Bitters are also SUI
perb tonic, restorative and appetizer.

MRS. JACKSON'S REQUEST.

That Discussion with Start.
ling VigOr,
Another widow who has suffered.

The Washington Gazette of the 9Th
inst. reopens the discussion in regard to
Wade Bottoms bequest to Mrs. Stone
wall jackson with UNCOMMON earnest
ness. The LEDGER, without presuming
to take sides in this unfortunate contro-
versy, has treated both sides fairly. The
article in question is a leading editorial,
and is as follows
We have made the inquiry properly
public on this subject, and have Oh
tanned from the executor Of Wade Boil.
ton, by whom the bsquest of $4,000 was
made, a response in part exteuuation to
the effect that he had paid off, among q
number Of other and larger legacies,"
$4,000 Of this. The answer is far from
satisfactory, and shows injustice to Mrs.
Jackson, in the FIRST place by depriving
her of the interest on the whole sum for
q considerable time, and in the next by
Withholding from her the remaining half
indefinitely the executor not proposing
as far as appears to pay the remainder
or any interest on the same beyond six
per cent. at most for a series Of years,
which he will find it profitable to him
self to take in winding up u large estate.
This too often operates hardship and
injustice according to law.
These things are not done in a day;
and if he serves Mrs, jackson as he has
already done the widow Of his former
partner, Deloach, We think she may pine
on in need and whistle a long time for
her money. He charged the Deloach
estate $4,000 q year for Eve years as
salary for winding up a very moderate
business with hardly more than $50, 900
invested we think, as surviving partner,
besides other compensation to which be
may be entitled by law. At this rate
the Deloach estate was completely swsl-
lowed up; and the widow is now Iiti-
eating for something Of it, as we fear
Mrs. jackson will have to do before she
gets her money.
1t was a knowledge OF this, with some.
what Of q natural disposition TO scotch
snakes Of a similar order, which has led
us TO make q public exposure Of this
transaction, and TO apprehend that a
man who has VIGOROUSLY made a large
fortune BY sharp practices was operating
on the old line again the moment We
learned his defense. Had he been dis
posed to favor the venerated widow he
may haye paid her every cent safely tc
himself by taking a refunding bond con
ditioned for payment in case the estate
should be insufficient. Where such in
formation oomes from as may be th,
basis of our conclusions it is unneces
sary for the public to know; and, what
ever It may be, it is sufficient TO say tina
we make our exhibit believing il TO bt
true and entirely on our own RESPONSE
bility. If he has paid Mrs. jackson III,
$4,000 he pretends land we think that il
probably true) we have no doubt il wa
done, like extracting teeth, by pressing
representations Of her need on the par
Of her friends; for $4,000 in the execu
tors hands is good for $4,000 q year B,
bis pocket, and when II could be r%etains,

for five or six years at that rate Of profit
would net be willingly given up.
We think that the interests of one
widow at a time is as mach as that sort
Of an executor ought to have in his keep
ing. If the Bolton estate vas doubtfully
solvent, which is extremely improbable,
or if the money belonging to it vast TO be
turned over and made to yield to them
the profits he can secure to himself by
withholding it, for the benefit OF credi-
tors and legatees, the case would be diff
ferent. But the East as it stands we
have reason to believe, is simply this
that the executor is being enriched by
the use of the money, and suffering
claimants for it are waiting so long
that the interest of which they are to be
deprived (if paid at all they ever are)
will equal the principal. And, without
being the friend or the enemy of the
executor, in sheer justice we cry shamel
II he has any better answer than that
which Shylock had for demanding the
penalty Of his bond, and which he has
already given, let him make it. This
number Of the Gazette will be mailed to
him.
