RIVER DISASTERS.

Last week we chronicled the ex-
plosion and total wreck of the small
screw steamer Waloon, plying in the
lower coast trade, below New Or
leans, but fortunately only two lives
were lost, instead of eight or ten as
first reported. And now we are called
upon to record the wreck of another
boat in the same trade.
During the night of Friday, 1lth
inst, the sterpwheel packet Emma
struck hidden obstruction and sunk
near the Stella plantation, thirty
miles below the city. Five lives were
lost: two ,eolored women, two chill
dren, also colored, and the clerk of
the boat, Mr.. Ed. LaEett.
A similar disaster occurred four
miles above Baton Ronge Monday
night The Sandy No.,2, sternWheel
steamboat in the New Orleans and
Opelousas trade, struck a drift log,
and in ten minutes had sunk to the
hurricane roof, upon which passen-
gers aud crew, numbering about 100
souls, hastily huddled, none having
time to save any personal effects. By
great good fortune only two lives
were lost-a couple of deckhands-all
the rest escaping to shore in the yawl.
The officers of the boat and Senator
Robertson of st. Landry acted with
conspicuous GOODNESS and bravery,
and to their efforts the small loss of
life was primarily due. The steamer
turned bottom side up and lies in that
condition about five miles below Ba-
ton Rouge. The boat and cargo are
o total loss.

From the Monroe IMteEAgeneer We
gather these items of news; "a
Company H, Sixteenth U. S, In.
fantry, which has been stationed al
Monroe since last fall, departed for
jackson, Mics, on the 2sth ult.
That portion Of the Vicksburg and
Monroe railroad between TallulaE
and Waverly, about fifteen miles ii,
extent, is more or less under water,
and travel is suspended. The great
est depth of water or the road is
thirty two inches.
A church belonging to congrega.
tion of colored Baptists, situated in
the rear of Trenton. was destroyed
by FIRE during the night about three
weeks ago. No doubt is entertained
that the fire was started by an incea-
aiary.

THE FEDERAL 0rFMERs.

No new federal appointments for
Louisiana have been made during the
past two weeks, and the eampetition
for the fat places increases with the
lapse of moments. A new and lus-
ctous sugar plum now excites the Gu
pidity of the place hunters: the peg
sion agencies in South Carolina, Geor
gia, Alabama and Florida have all
been attached to the district of New
Orleans, making the position of Pen
sion Agent at the latter place very
lucrative one. The prominent as
pirants for this place are ex-senator
Burch of Baton Rouge and Mr.. Charles
Hill, late Auditors Examiner. 1t is
rumored that Gen.. Geo. A. Sheridan
will be rendered foreign mission, and
Col. Geo. w. Carter a Territorial Gov
ernorship, while ex-Gov. Pinehback
is quoted as expressing willingness
to accept the Naval Office at New Or
leans if it is thrust upon him by the
President. A new candidate for the
United States District Attorneyship
has appeared in the person of Judge
Geo. HI. ,Braughn, who enters the field
with influential backing. Gen. Jack
Wharton-who is still supposed to
hold the inside track for the MARSHAL
.thip-recently returned from Wash
ington and reports that the Presi-
dent has determined to divide the ap-
pointments in his gift in Louisiana as
equally as possible among the three
elements constituting the Republican
party here, to-wit: the native whites,
che "carpet-baggers " and the eolored
men.

Under an order of court United
States Marshal Pitkin has seized a
large number of logs lyingin the rivers
and bayous of Calcasieu, said to have
been cut from lands belonging to the
United States. A large portion of the
people of the parish are interested in
the lumber business and the seizure
has caused great excitement, the dep
uty marshals having been resisted and
driven away. A posse will be sent
from New Orleans to enforce the pro-
cess of the court. The timber involved
is estimated to be worth nearly
sl5O,0Oo.

There isno more flourishing religious

A number of prominent white Re-
publicans-anopg them Messrs. John
Ray, Ebert Gaptt, o. FL. Brewster,
F. A Woolfey and VT. j. Q. Baker
recently addressed II letter to Presi-
dent Hayes assuring him of their sup
port of bis policy and Of the Nichols
government, relying on the latter " to
carry out in good faith its pledges to
the people of the State.n The letter
continues:
We do not understand that you in the slight
est degree in this matter abandon Repnbli
can principles and your desire to promote
the interests of the Republican party, the
Legitimate offspring of the old Wing party,
through which we cherish the expectation
that you will advocate our great internal
Improvement interests in government aid
for the levees, Southern Pacific railroads,
outlet to the Mississippi river, and for
such other public works as are necessary to
assist in developing the resources of our
State and of the whole country.

We don't pretend to set ourselves

now, since we come to consider the

The coast steamer Mary Ida, while
on her way up the river, struck a
heavy drift log four miles above st.
John Courthouse, about 10 o'lock
Thursday night, and stove a large
hole in her bow at the water line.
The pilot quickly ran the boat ashore,
and not many moments too soon, as
she was taking water rapidly. The
injury was repaired after few hours
work, and the Mary Ida proceeded
on her way.
