'Cannon, bound for St. /sells. loaded with a valuable . cargo, arid, liming On board a large number of passengers, had ; rung her last bell, and was just backing out from the wharf at the foot of Graaier firm, when the %%hide of her boilers blest with a tremendous ex plosion, which resounded throughout the city. The coneossiou was so great that it shook the houses to their foundation' for many slimes distant. The Lenisinna was lying:alongside the Steamer Bostena, Capt. Dustin, at / the time of the, disaster, and - the stetoner .Storm,:Capt. had jest arrived' fr•euHmist Oil ' her 'starboard s id e . The tipper works of these two boats 'are a complete WrOCk.,theif • f.li flipOyd hav ing been' ca rrier) away, and their cabin- stove in and shattered in some pla ces to atoms. The violence of the shock operating en the boilers was tremendous. A part of ode of them, a muss of considerable size,' was hurled with ificonrei vuble force on the levee, It cut a' mule in killed a horse and the driver of a dilly to which tlwy wore attached, instantaneously. Another etas eke pdttion of the same, twelve feet long, and of imiuense weight. was blown to the corner of Canal and Front sreets, a distance of 200 yards at lewd, Prostrating three large iron pillars which supported a wooden shed or awniug, which stood before the ciade house there. Before canting in contact with the iron pillars, life fragment of the boiler 'cut through several bales of cotton, which lay in its passage, making the staple scatter through the air us if it had been blown throegh a cotton gin. The noes spread like wildfire, end o ur c iti zens pushed in from all directions to the scene of the Disaster. Already on our arrival, a number of bod ies in every conceivable stateof end mutilation, had been dragged from the wreak, which were surroun ded by the dense crowd that had assembled. Hacks and furniture carts were sent for, and the wounded were conveyed to the hospital's. The sight , of the Mangled bodies which streilvell -the levee on all sides, and the shrieks of the dying, Were appal makiter the h1;m1.1 curdle m.ith horror. We ,saw one toot with his head of;, his entrails out, and one leg off. A w o man, whose long dark hair lay wet and matted by her side; had one leg Of above her knee, whilst her body was shocAingly mangled. A large ton, having the skall crushed in, lay a corpse, his face looking as if it h d been painted red. Others, of both sexes, also with legs and arms offi, tm re trunks lay abein in difrerent places. Two bodies wo found locked together, brought by death i n to a sodden and close embrace. But it is utterly imeossibie to describe all the revoltin g sights which met our, veiw. Suffice it to say that death was re vealed there under almost every variety of appaling horror. The Eousiana sunk about ten minutes after the ex plosion, and it is imppoed many who went on hoard: to assist the wounded, tvere carried down with her. This, we judge from the fact of several persons who had escaped the first effects of tile explosion, having jumped .overbord at the time of her sinking, and who were very providentially saved. A gentleman who was a passenger on board the Louisiana, was standing on the hurricane deck, abaft the wheel-house when the explosion took place and escaped. Ile distinctly saw the faces and arms of several ladies and gentleman vainly struggling to free themselves' from the falling planks and tim bers. - They were carried down with the boat when , :he sunk Ile succeeded in - saving a little negro boy. Abmit twenty persons were standing on the bow of the boat when she went down; most of whom were =aged. The river was covered immediately after the accident with fragments of the wreck. A portion of the stern of the ladies cabin of the steamer is still out of water. Numerous small heats were employ ed picking up the wounded. On board the Storm, the destruction of life was also terrible. Mrs. Moody, wife of the first clerk, was standing en the guard uppo,iite the ladies cabin _ u and was instantly killed.. The captain received severe contusion in the head, but_ wan not danger ously wounded. About We've or fifteen persons were killed, and a large number wounded, some .of whom will probably not recover. ' The fragments of iron and blocks of wood, which which were sent with the ripidity of lightning from the ill fated Louisiana, carried death and destruction in all directious. Men were killed at the 'distance of two hundred yards. Legs, arms, and trunks were scattered over the levee. %Ye understand that some news-boys, who had been selling papers on board the Lonsiana, and had just gone on shore, were killed. We saw the dead b plies of several lads, but the names yet unknown. Those who were near the spot at the time of explo sion, state that bodies were blown as high as two hondred feet in the air, and in the river. One man, it is said, was blown through the pilot-horse of the llostonia,makintr it'hole through the panOls which might be mistaken for the work of a cannon bill. The steamer Storm was very close to the liouis iana at the time of the explosion, and she was sent hack by the concussion at least fifty yards into the strain. ller captain, although severely'wounded, a r meared Ott? hurricane deck, his face covered with blood, and cooly gave directions fur bringing i l k bolt lie remained firmly at his nod, affiordt n z all the assistance ill his poiver as lung as it was neeed.

Re sot ved,[ That isolated as we are, and shut out from all intercourse with the business world for at least one-third of the year, we havens much interest in the construction of the proposed road as any other place on the route, and though lacking capital, yet we feel it our duty to give the road our pecuniary aid, and we hereby pledge ourselves to the incorpor ation to subscribe as much stock, in proporation to our means, as any place on the route. [ Resolved, That this line of Railroad will be the most important of any connecting the tributaries of the Gulf of Mexico with the Great t.akes, end - when constructed will become the great throughfare for the traveler between the Northern and Eastern and Southern and Western states. Ilescifeed, That the twain which those engaged In the agricultural, mining and rnanufactoring inter esta along, the Conneaut and Shenango Valleys would derive from such a work, shit Id induce each one interested to lend a friendly hand, and do all in his power to ensure its early construction. Ite. , ulved, That the great "American Railroad" crossing our continent, conecting the waters of the Pacific with those of the Atlantic, it is not a chimera of the imagination, but a national work which the indomitable energy and preseverance of American. genius and enterprise, will, within a few, years ac complished, and the construction of the proposed road through our ;lace will form another link in the chain which will bind in one every portion of our continent. -Resolved, That Ihe . proceedings of this meeting be publishe.l in the Conneatavill;Courier, and that he Meadville t Erie, New Castle and Pittsburgh t pers be requested to copy. pa Signed by the 6fficertr. RFPUBLIC or Lintinia.—An °nicer of the Deca tur, just arrived from the coast of Africa, has writ ten rt letter to the Boston-Post, in which he gives the following account of the republic of Liberia. The letter gives the news tip to, the :32d of 'Sep tember, some items of which we omit, having before published them : "The republic seems to be'in a flourishing condi tion, considering that it is peopled almost entirely by slaves who have been liberated in our southern States.

The Indians have driven the Quebec Mining Company from their location. The schoon er Chippewa has arrived at the Sault St. Marie from Mica Bay, bringing the intelligence of the attack of the lanes and ths voluntary surrender of the mines on the 14th inst. The Indians and half-breeds to the number of about 130, under command of 61cDonell, left the Sault on Saturday night, reached the location of the Quebec company on Monday night, and preceded quietly and cautiously to lay their plan of attack.— Two pieces of artillery, were so placed as to com mand the works most formidably, and the forces dis-, posed in ambash,' so that at a moment'a , warning they could rush upon their victims. The plans were so quietly carried out, that the miners, to the number of 150, were not aware of the presence of the ma rauders until completely in their power. The agent of the company was suddenly - attack • ed by a squad of the desperadoes with weapons in hand, who threatened him with immediate death in case of islance. A voluntary and immediate surrender t f the mines, tools Etc., was then deman ded, whicl after, some hesitation, was complied With. , r Air 11Am:icy personal friend, who h. acquainted with all the circumstances, has furnished the Woodstock Tenth Legion with the following details respecting a gun Several years ago, Mr. Benjamin P. Miller, who resides near Washington,! in Rappahannock county, had a favorite negro boy, whom he frequently took with blip in his hunting excursions. On a certain occasion, he took his gun out to shoot birds near his father's house; the bby followed him as usual; and either forgetting or not observing the buy bet Ween whom and his master .were some thick bushes, he shot the bird, and killed the boy at the same time.'. In November last, a man by the name of Johnson, also of that county, had baited some wild turkeys. and had concealed himself amid tne limbs of a fallen pine tree, near the place, to await their arrival. A nother gentleman, named Fletcher, who had b) some means possessed liimi,ell. of Johnson's gun, was hunting for turkeys in the same neihborhool, and passing near the tree under which Johnson was and attracted by a noise among the branches, catching a glimpse of Johnson's head, who on a, black fur cap, he fired, and the unhappy man fell, exclaiming, "Lord have mercy on me!" a rhl immediately expired. The Unlucky gun was purchased of Mr. Fletcher, by a gentleman mottled Curran, who resides near in Rappahannock county. And a few weeks ago it was again tho instrument of death to a human beingi, Mr. Curran was hunting for turkeys, near the dwelling of his brother-in-law, Mr. George W., Compton, and coming to - some thick bushes, among which were grapes, and seeing some thing which be suliposed to bea turkey ?

THE SPEAKERSHIP.--419 the time tor the meeting of Congress draws nigh, the (ideation of the speakership of the House of Representatives. more and more attracts the attention of thO prase,' and apeculatio i n is rife amon g the,“kpowiag ones" as to who will prove the lucky Democrat Upon whose shoulders the mantle of 'union, and harmony' in the party will full. The whip, although from two to four in the minoriiy. still affect to believe that the old speaker, iVerriinor. of Massachusetts, will bo elected. We. howevel% have no such idea. Tho Democracy must and will unite upon some man accept able to all—the north and the south. As we have be fore intimated, we think the representative from this district, lion. JAMEY Tuosmsos, is that man: Gov. Cleveland. of Connecticut, and JudgaPotter, of Oh io, are both put forward as compromise candidates by the "Free Democracy," and both undoubtedly would make excellent officers; but will they bo acceptable to the southern members when they find they must abandon their favorite candidates, Conn, of Georgia, Dl'Dowetx.. of Virginia. and Born of Kentucky? Wo hardly think they will; while on the other hand wo have pretty good evidence that, as a second clmice. Judge T. would call to his support every southern and south-western mem ber.

Although we have expressed our ,sincere preference for another highly distinguished person, who, we flatter ourselves will be the most acceptable candidate for the honorable. responsible and important position; yet if wo are doom ed to foil in our first choice ! or if the greater harmony of the democratic party can be secured by the election of another, we are not clear that wo would pot be pleased. to see- the mantle fall on Judge Thompson. We are certain no ono has boon named from the North of Mason and Dixon's line who would come , nearer to the stand ard we, have laid down, as a guidance to the action of Congress in this particular. Tho topographicalosition of Pennsylvania gives her a figurative place as t he Key stone in the federal arch; and many a time has hor,ac lion on mutters of national concern served to draw. or hold. together more firmly the parts of which we are com posed as a nation. If locality must be considered, lose r letting a presiding officer of the House, there would bo propriety in lotting it be this middle ground. But there sea other ee...;Jee.troes we consider earameent to this: and while we yield nothing from our favorite, ur the com parison. we are free to give to Judge Thompson, credit for talents, character. dignity and affability of deport ment, Adequate to the position. This will be the the .third Congress in which he will 'have represented his district. During the two last. though ho has sometimes. in obedience to instructions, support ed measures not consistent with our notions of political economy; lie has, in all cases conducted himself so es to gain the confidence and esteem of those with Whom he has had occasion to act or hold intercourse. HO has al ready, we believe,-had creditable experience as the pre siding officer of a legislative body, as well as of one of the higher courts of his State. - Goss To Cactrontris.—Messrs. John Pinkney, and John,Robinson of this city, left for California on Thurs day last: They are both Carpenters and Joiners by profession, and intend to follow that business when there, and let gold digging take care of itself. They intend to take passage on the U. S. Mail Stentner Philadelphia, which leaves on the 11th. There is not many interior counties that have contributed so liberally toward popula ting California as Erie. We have from thirty to forty representatives there, or on their way now, and we hear every day of more intended departures. May they all realize their brightest dreams of the richness of the Wes tern El Dorado, and return to their friends laden with the product of their enterprise and toil. IMPORTANT APPOINTMENTA.—We learn that W. W. Loomis, Major-General of the 23th Division of Penn sylvania Militia. has made the followingappointmonts:— Galbraith A. Irvin. of Warren county. and James W. Dania's. of Crawford county. Aida-de-Camp; Andrew Scott. of Erie. Division Inspector, and Alex. W. Hays; of Venango county. Division Quarter Muter—all with the .auk of Major. These oppointments haVe a peculiar fitness about them which does even the uomartial soul of a civilian good in these latter days of the "Heroic Age:" mud. should red-mouthed war ever call them to the ten ted field. we have not . tho lent doubt they will prove themselves "some pumpkius"-rto use the language of a great Dutch poet— "Hither in the battle's 'learning din, Or, at the Sutler's Holland Gin:" , Tna flume DEPAT.UENT.—Wo heartily concur with the Boston Post, hi saying that the first duty of tho new democratic Congress will bo to abolish tho'dopartment of the Interior. which the proscription, nepotism and meanness of Thomas Ewing has rendered so infamous and so odious to the country. It was a mistake in the last Congress in permitting this department of intriguo end consolidation and cliqueism to bo established at all. But they had no conception of the usurpations and abus es to which it would be perverted in bad hands. The powor of signing papers given to tho chief clerk in the treasury department, and the distribution of a portion of the duties among the old bureaus, would be ample to re• liove the secretary. and prevent the absurdity which has grown out of this new formation of a cabinet minister. who usurps all the patronage. and sinks the secretary of dto treasury into a mero clerk. hlExiecnot.r Stoicism—We learn from the Buffalo Courier that a Mrs. J. S. Miller. wife of hfaj. Miller, of the U. S. Army, now in Florida, and the daughter of lion. John Nowell. of Detroit, committed suicide on the night of the 27th. at Niagara Falls, by throwing herself from the Bridge leading to Goat Island. She clime to the Fells that morning in the care, 'having with her two bright looking boys, foUr and six years old.• After taking rooms at the Eagle Hotel,-ahe called for writing materials and nothing More was known of her until the next morn ing.• Between coven and eight o'clock, the bell of the room she had occupied was rung , by the little boys.— Thes were inquiring for their mother.

But aside from this, the Tarifrof '46 Certainly throws no. impediment in the way of investing this "ten millio s of dollars in cotton mills on the lower Ohio. where c al and food are cheap." The manufacturing of cotton goo a ill the United States is not certainly languishing uu. m the present revenue laws, for the quantity of cotton, appears by annual re-, turns published in New York, to en fur consumption the year preceding the passage of the act of 1816, was 389 - 000 bales against 518,030' bales it 1819. Here is an in crease of 32 per cent. equal to 200 000,000 yards or more, in three years. Since 1845 more spindles have been put in operation, not only in the nort ern bpt in the plan ting states, than in any similar s ce of time. Prior to 1845 the cotton states derionded • finest wholly on New England for supplies. In 1849 t e returns show a con sumption of 110.000 bales, makin • „with the quantity re turned for the northern states, 6 -'4,039 bales.' *Do these facts sustain our cotompuraries' 'mplid complaint that cotton manufacturing has been di couraged? We think not, but on the contrary show conclusively that this "Ta ta Fact" is "fallacy. But there is another/a/tory co manufacturing and "protection" tier,.
