TbeXateSteamboat Explosion ©a James
River.
Fortress Monroe, Deo. 10.— At 5 o’olook
yesterday morning the disabled steamer
Thomas Kelso arrived at Norfolk, in tow of
the steamers- John Sylvester and Oity of
Norfolk. At 9 o’clock the Coroner held, an
inquest on the bodies 6f the three firemen,
Who were killed instantly by the explosion.
The following are the particulars, as gath
ered from passengers and officers of the
Kelso:
The explosion occurred as staled at 31
o’clock on Saturday morning, about three
miles to the northward of Half Trap Light
Boat, which is off the mouth of the Rappa
hannock river, and forty-five miles from
Norfolk. The wind was bio wing moderately
from the southward and eastward, and a
heavy fog overspread the Chesapeake bay.
The connection in the Bteam drum burst by
the rivets, some dozen or more coming out
on the heads breaking off. An explosion
immediately and the steam passing
along the deck and up into the saloon, ex
tinguished all the lights and fire in the
steamer, leaving jt in total darkness,
and the passengers not knowing what
had occurred, were for the time left
in the most terrible suspense. It was diffi
cult to conjecture what had occurred.
Whether the boat was sinking or on fire, and
a considerable time elapsed before the real
-condition of affairs was ascertained. There
was great excitement after the collision, the
passengers rushed terrified over the steamer,
the wounded suffering intensely, but -the
exertions of Captain H. B. Cralle and the
officers of the steamer, of whose conduct in
that trying moment the passengers speak in
the highest praise, aided by manyof the pas
sengers, restored quiet and calmed the fear
•of the panic-stricken when the extent of the
-disaster was ascertained. A small sail
boat 'was dispatched to Cherrystone,
some five or six miles distant, with
instructions to telegraph the disaster
to Baltimore and Norfolk. When the
Kelso' anchored, the attention of all on
board was directed to the suffering wound
ed, the dead, of whom -there were three,
being, past all assistance. Every attention'
was paid to the sufferers, and Dr. Turner
Wilson, of North Carolina, is spoken of
very highly for his efficient services in as
suaging the sufferings of the viotims, and
the energy and coolness he displayed
throughout. The steamer City of Norfolk,
from Annamessic, now hove in sight at 10
o’clock A, M. 1 , and seeing the signals of dis
tress took off all the passengers and bag
gage from the Kelso, and arrived at Norfolk
at 4 o’clock in the afternoon. A visit to the
City of Norfolk revealed a sad sight. The sa
loon was filled with the suffering wounded,
some of them moaning with anguish,others
bearing their intense suffering without a
murmur.
A large number of the physicians of Fair
fax, amoDg whom were recognized Drs.
-Jackson and Samuel Seldon, together with
Mayor Ludlow, and many members of the
City Council, visited the City of Norfolk and
rendered all the aid in their power. About
-5 o’clock P. M. a number of vehicles arrived
at the steamer landing, and the wounded
were taken to the Hospital of St. Vincent de
Paul, where they have all been well at
tended by the noble Sisters of Charity. The
following is a complete list of the killed and
wounded:
Killed—Thomaa Ennis, coal heaver, Chas. Adams
-colored: Harmon Batts, fireman, and an unknown
colored fireman.
Paasengeis Injured—Stephen Hays, badly scalded:
James Davie, Blightly: May EngeDie Carter, hands
badly: Mrs. James, slightly; Edward Zealler, slightly-
Dr. A. T. Osborne, Oxford. Md , badly: Charles W
HJdon', Chowan, N. C , very badly; John T. oawllne’
slight; 1. A. LangteUer. slight. s '
Officers and Hands lnjnred-Charles Reed, of Balti
more, chief engineer; Vance Wilson, assistant engi
neer; M. Waldrop,baggage agent: Wm. Hair, fireman;
-John Bowan, slight; Samuel McKenny, badly;--amnel
Young, colored, slight; John Thomas, colored; sllgat-
John Coburn, slight; oaptaln Crallee, thecommancter
of the Kelso, was slightly Injured in the hand.
About twenty horses and mules belong,
log to one of the passengers, Mr. C. W.
Mixon, weijß scalded and ruined. They were
-on the lower deck, tied, several feet in front
-of the engine, and singularly enough,
though their heads were turned from tne
boiler, they were injured alone in that part
of their bodies. The hair was completely
scalded from the skin, and their tongues
burned so as to prevent their eating, and
most of them, having inhaled the steam,
suffered terribly.
Mr. Waldrop, the baggage master, was
awakened by ibe concussion, and springing
up, crawled out of his b'erth through a small
opening in the window, and reached the
upper deok, badly scalded.' Captain Craele
baa a short while before given the steamer
dn charge of his second officer, and had been
asleep hut a short while when he was awoke
by the coccnssion. He rushed from his
state room, bewildered and confused. On
feeling a stifling sensation, as if in a heated
atmosphere, and gasping for breath and
grouping aronnd he struck the bulkhead,
opposite the open door. He finally reached
the door, and entering the large saloon
found it in darkness and filled with steam.
In making his way to the after part of the
steamer he struck the eabin stove, and was
knocked down, injuring his''left shoulder,
and badly bruising his body. Recovering,
he reached the stern of the vessel, and as
sisted many of the excited passengers out of
the saloon window on to the guard of the
steamer, where they were free from the
stifling effects of the steam.
; It is considered fortunate that the accident
-did not occur sooner. All the passengers
Bad retired, and the doors of their state
rooms being closed, accounts for the com
paratively small number of scalded. Had
it taken place before they retired, and while
they were in the saloons and social hall, it
is impossible to estimate the loss of life that
■would have occurred. Many of the passen
gers that were sealded received their inju
ries by pushing through the saloons in their
fright to ascertain the nature of the concus
sion,which had startled every one on board.
-One lady had her face burned by looking
out of her state-room door before the danger
had passed. This was the only lady pas
;senger injured.
The following accurate information was
furnished yesterday by Dr. Samuel Geldon,
.of the Hospital of St. Vincent de Paul:—
From the arrival of the steamer City of
Norfolk with the wounded, during their
transportation to the hospital, and during
the nighVthe following phvsieians were in
attendance, viz.: Drs! R. W. Rose, S. J.
Browne, S. K. Jackson, Samuel Seldon, H.
M. Nash, aided materially by JohnE.Todd
apothecary, who furnished the physicians
with bandages, lint, stimulants and dress
ing. Tha following is a list of the patients
under treatment at the hospital:
Chas. W. Mixon, N. C,, sit nation critical.
Stephen Hayes, N. J., “ “
Dr. A. F. OsbomejOxford.N.C., doing well.-
Samiiel Kinney, Baltimore, “
William Wilson, “ “
John Rowan, right hand and arm badly
scalded.
John Martin, colored, condition oritical.
All the rest are doing well.
B The Bisters of Charity, presided over by
Sister Isidore Kenney, the Superior of the
Hospital, were indefatigable in their atten
tion to the sufferers, and remained up with
.them all night.
The Kelso has had her cargo discharged,
and she now lies anchored in the Elizabeth
river. She requires but few repairs, not
toeing materially injured.

The susqnehenna’s arrival hasdone nothing towards
strengthening tbe good feeling of the French for the
United Stales. The French oflicars here are very
angry because the French flag was not sainted, aad
they say that although the American, do not recog
nize the Empire, they recognize France, and they feel
slighted by tbe omission. Consequently, when a
Lieutenant of the Susquehanna landed on Saturday
morning, the Ist Instant, he was stopped at the gate of
the Custom Honse by the Port Captain, a Mexican
who Informed him that he conld not pass Into tne
town wlthont permleslonof the French admiral.
The Lieutenant then made his way to the French
fl.g-shlp, and after a delay of a couple or nours, re
tnrned with the permission required and was allowed
toi-mer. Hereurned to his ship very shortly with
papers and letters apparently escorted by MASaolnlt-r

San F aancisco, Dec. 12 —The steam, r Continental

ticulars ofthe evacuation of that place by the Impe
rialists and French troop 3 on November lltb
The French fleet, consisting of .the Rhine, Marie and
rallsman appeared off the harbor, which was the sig
nal for a general excitement among the troops and
people, as it was believed that General Corona would
attack the French while embarking, and the fleet
*c uid shell the city. The American consul volun
teered his services to induce' Corona io let the Erench
embark In peace, which were unsuccessful. Corona
having declared it his duty to Inflict as much lnltuv as
possible. ‘ 1

day a strong attack was made and hard flxhtink took
piece, the Fiench losing heavily ;ln men and officers.
On the loth the French Admiral sent a flag of truce
to Corona, the result of which was the French were
allowed to evacuate the place The same afternoon
the Liberals entered the city in fine style and without
the least disorder, and were greeted with great enthu
■• iasm by the people,
on the arrival, of the Continental at Mazatlan. the
L.btral Government proposed to seize her for violation
of tr e neutrality laws during the past two years. Tola
was energetically opposed by Captain Sherley. of the
United Stateseteamer Suwanee, and the steamer was
not molested, t
'i he French evacuated Durango on the morning or
November 13th, thua leaving that port free fromthe
forces of Maximilian. The city was left entirely to the
protection of the merchants, and four days later was
oocupled by the Liberal forces under command of Gen.
Auza. No disturbance occurred, and trade has been
restored
The French, while on the retreat to the City of
Mexico, were very much harassed by the Liberal
forces At a place called Arenael, tweaty-four miles
from Durango, on the road to Sombrero the French
column was entirely cutnp, leaving two hundred men
and three pieces of artillery on the battle-field.
