LATER,

Some additional particulars regard
ing the loss of the steamer st. Luke
are learned from Capt Keith and pas
sengers, who came down from St.
Charles by railroad to-day. The
night was dark and the lights on the
bridge very dim. About thirty feet
of the larboard side of the boat was
crushed il. by the collision with the
pier and part of her machinery torn
away. She made water very rapidly
but hoated down the river about two
miles, strnck a bar in the middle of
the river and sunk TO the hurricane
deck. The passer yels rushed from
their berths In the greatest disorder
and ran hither and thither horror
stricken. All were not lost; but f.
nally gathered on the hurricane roof,
where they remained till daylight,
chad only in their night clothes,
When the ferry boat came down and
took them ashore. Five or six per-
sons are supposed to have been
knocked off aud drowned at the first
crash, but this is not definitely known
Those whose loss Is certain are S1m
Brooks, fireman, St. Louis; Tom.
Donley, deck sweeper: Mrs. Jno
Divan, and two children, who took
pas sage at Kansas City; one male
passenger, unknown, and three deck
passengers, names also unknown.
There were about 100 souls on the
steamer, most OF whom, out side of
the officers and crew, were deck pas
sengers, no list of whose names was
kept by the clerk. The S.. Luke had
about 100 tons of freight, which,
with the boat, will be a total loss.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Enquirer writing from San Antonio
Texas, after abiding to the revolt of
the Texans against Mexico, the sur
render and massacre Of the Texans by
Santa Anna, at Goliad, thus describes
the fght at the Alamo;
One of the small Texan armies un-
der the celebrated Colonel Travis, with
such assistants as ColOnels Bonham,
Bowie latter whom the knife is named)
and the eccentric Davy Crockett,
marched 10 San Antonio. and took pos
session of the alamo" This church
was one of immense size and strength,
with ample room inside TO accOmmO-
date several thousand men, but the
force actually only consisted of one
hundred and thirty soldiers, in addi-
ton to which there were one or two
women and a little infant, born after
the party reached the place. The
church is built of stone and adobe,
with walls fully four feet thick, and a
fence or wall some fifteen feet high
surrounding the entire Enclosure. The
roof of the church was made Of stone
and concrete, the whole presenting the
appearance of 4 very strong fortress
The Texans had hardly take1 posses
sion of the Alamo before it was invest
ed by Santa Anna with over 1000 men,
the flower of the Mexican army.
Thinking that he could re enact the
fate of GoIiad, the monster offered TO
| let the besieged 20 To their homes if
they would surrender. The enly an
saker was 'Remember GOliad and ,
pbmpt refusal OF all terms excepting
The wager Of battle. Several men
were sent out with the hope OF stealing
through the lines and telling of the
| precarious situation of the garrison
and procuring help. All of these men
were killed excepting one, who got
| through, but before he could reach
the settlements and procure the aid
needed the Bloody drama had closed.
| After fifteen days of constant fighting
| the place was assaulted, and after as
gallant q resistance as history records
| the fortress was carried, and every man
| in it butchered. OF all in the build
/ ing, only one woman and her child,
the infant before referred 20, escaped
/ the fury of the cOnquerors. Not a
soldier hinched, every man died at bis
post and fighting to the very last.
Travis, the gallant leader, was sick,
but from his bed continued shooting
until he was riddled with bullets.
Poor Crockett died while defending
one of the windows, and Bowie fell in
the small room at the right of the
main entrance. At last all were dead,
and Santa Anna in triumph entered
the place-a conqueror
