at the whaTf, by which orer 800 persons are
believed to hare been killed aod woonded.-r
The telegraphic despatches, giv.n o

of them, a mass of considerable size, was
hurled wilh inconceivable force on tne leveo.

A irnntleman who was a passenger on the
a ... I
Louisiana, was standing
on ine nurricano
deck abaft the wheelhouse when the explo
sion took place, and escaped. He distinctly
saw the faces and arms of several ladies i
gentlemen vainly struggling to free them
selves from tho falling planks and timbers.
They were carried down with the boat when
ahe sank. He succeded in saving a little
negro boy. About twenty persons were
standing on tho bow of the boat when she
went down, most of whom were saved. The
river was covered immediately after the ac
cident with fragments of the wreck. A por
tion of the stern of the ladies' cabin of the
steamer is still out of water. Numerous
small boats were employed picking up the
rkiirwf wl .
The steamer Bostona, laying alongside the
Louisiana, had her pipes blown down, her
wheelhouse crushed, and her upper deck al-
most entirely torn off. Captain Dustin, of the
Bostona, was seriously if not mortally injured,
and several persons were killed aboard of
her. The steamboat John Hancock had ner
wheel-house broken, and was otherwise in-
Tured.. The Storm, a steamer from Loots-
1 ville, was coming in alongside the Louisiana,
full of passengers, when the explosion of the
Louisiana blew her upper deck to pieces,
killing the wife of the clerk, Mr. Robert
Moody, another lady, and some ten or twelve
other persons, and wounding a great many

is not known, and yet we know the First En-
ffineer was on shore, with leave to loin tho
boat at Lafayette; and that the Second Engl

oer must have been absent from his post.
from the fact that the instant before tho ex
plosion he returned to tho engine, found that
there was something wrong, cried out to the
mate to run for his life, and saved his own
by a rapid movement to the stern. Negli
gence the most cnlpable is too plainly seen
The boat was within a few minutes of its de
parture, when officers and crew should have
been doubly vigilant; and yet how different
from this are the facts shown.
Captain Cannon, of the Louisiana, was on
the levee coming with a gentleman when the
exnloaion took place. The boat was waiting
for ome freight, and was about to proceed
in n shin lvina some distance below to tako
- . t
in 80 or 90 emigrants for St. Louis. The en
irinecr, it is said, had tried the boilers, and
finding no water in them, remarked that "it
mu coiima?." and they had better leave. Ho
escaped.
i The extent of the mortality will exceed our
highest estimates. All the facts discovered
thus far give color to the gloomiest apprehen
sions of the number of the killed. More
than sixty-four dead have already been re.
cognised. More than forty were exposed in
the Barome street Watch-houso yesterday,
and at least twenty were in the dead-houses

the Storm, with his head in his hands, seem
ingly in deep grief. The expression, of de
pendence, affection and giief of the little
girt, with Ike sorrowing attitude of the father,
surrounded as they were by so many signs of
disaster ami desolation, made a picture which
we shall not soon forget. We have since
learned that the gentleman was Mr. Moody,
clerk of the Storm, whose wife was killed.
The little girl was hi only child. ' ""
The wharf, the barrels and sack lying on
It, were still sprinkled with blood, and the
debris .of mutilated bodies. A number of
persons w'ere engaged In fishing up bodies.
Six were taken up whilst we were on the
levee. In all, eleven were token out of the
water yesterday.
' IncUeatt et the stxeleslea.
Captain Cakhom. We had an interview
with Captain Cannon. He is a young man
whom we have long known as bearing a good
character for prudence and discretion. Cap
tain Cannon affirm that there was so little
steam in the boilers that he had ordered the
engineer to get up steam to ptoceed to the
lower shipping to take in passengers. He be
lieves that ihe explosion vas caused by gun
powder, a barrel of which was carried aboard,
and taken down into the held to make into
cartridge, to fire a salute when the boat left.
Ho had given his consent to Tire the cannon,
and the mate and one of the hands went to a
store to get powder. They presently return'
ed, and the Captain remarked, as they were
going aboard, "What did you get a whole
keg for, instead of a pound or so!"
This is the last he saw of the mato and the
hand. Shortly afterwards the explosion took
place and Captain Cannon declares there
were two reports-imtnediately following
each other. He thinks the concussion and
vacuum caused by tho explosion of tho gun-
powder, produced a collapso of - the flues of
all the boilers at the same time. He arrives
-
at this conclusion from a knowledge of the
low stage of the steam in the boilers and the
want of fuel in the furnaces.
. - - ... .
Affecting Incident. A little girl, the
. . . .
daughter of one of the steemge passengers,
was taken from tho wreck, and being placed
on the levee, began to cry for her mother.
Being shown some of the dead bodies, she
recognized that of her mother from the ring
on her finger, and threw herself, in deep
grief, on the mutilated remains. This little
girl is at tho house of a gentleman in this
city. A generous rivalry was enacted among
our citizens, to extend to her all the protec
tion and kindness in their power.

who was standing on some bales of hay, on
the bows of the Stoim, was knocked down by
the body of a man, which lay across him.
He escaped without injury. The clerk of
Mr. Matthew Martin, who was on the Louis
iana, was thrown some distance into the air,
and landed in the river, on the farther side of
the Storm. He swam ashore and landed in
safety, without serious injury. Dr. Testut
was standing on the wharf, just after parting
with a friend, (Dr. Bienvenue, of Point Cou
pee, who has not been found or heard of,)
when a splinter struck down a man standing
near him, and the poor fellow, grasping the
doctor's coat as he fell, tore it in the violence
of his agony. His grasp, however, was soon
released by death. Mr. Paradise, of the firm
of Paradise & Lawrason, who was on the
wharf at the time, had his coat and other
clothes torn to ribands, and yet was unnuri
The fragment of boiler, which was blown
I across the levee to the new buildings, on the
I old site of the sugar platform, had not its

with the cotton bales, would have done awful
damage in passing through the buildings, as
it would, no doubt, have done. This piece
embraced at least one-half of the boiler, be-

Good and Bad Deed.
Occurrences like this never fail to devel-
ope the higher as well as the lower qualities
of humanity. During tho confusion of the
scene following tho explosion, many of our
citizens threw themselves, with characteris
tic generosity, promptitude, and energy, into
the crowd of the dead, . the dying and the
wounded.
A great deal of money was thrown about
the levee, and was eagerly grabbed by the
loafers who were assembled. One man was
seen going off with a large roll of bank notes
many others were seen picking up watches
and other valuables, and others, mure de
praved, were employed in pulling rings and
other jewels from the bodies of the dead and
wounded. An honest laborer, having rescued
a wa'ch from one of the rogues, gave it to
the Mayor for safe-keeping. It did not re
main, however, long iu bis Honor's pocket,
some daring scoundrel having extracted it,
whilst tue Mayor was absarbed in his duties.

Danville on the 19th inst., the following
gentlemen were elected, viz : Peter Baldy,
Wm. H. Magill, G. A. Frick, W. Jennison,

elected Peter Baldy, of Danville, President
of the Bank. The election of a Cashier
was postponed until the ISth of December

CP The Packet boats ceased running
last Saturday. Though the weather has
been fine, there is no certainty of its
remaining so, long. An arrangement
should be made to connect the stages with
the cars at the Junction, 17 miles this side
of Harrisburg. This Would save three
hours staging at night. When it Is done,
we trust the proprietors will not be afraid
to make it known through the Press.
REDl-CTION OF POSTAGE.
It is stated that the revenues for the Tost
Office Department will exceed the expenses
by a halt million of dollars. Thus it will
be seen that the cheap postage system, which
was fought through Congress, in opposition to
Cave Johnson, the late Post Master General,
has done better than was anticipated, even
by many of its friends. Mr. Col lamer, the
present Tost Master General, it is said, will
1
recommend a lurtner reduction to a uni
form rate of five cents, for all letters under
a half oemcr, for any distance.
He is also, we understand, in favor of a
reduction of newspaper postage, and we
trust a free circulation in each Congression
al district. We are not surprised at this. Mr,
ullamer is a practical northern man, and
can appreciate the progressive spirit of our
people, and the great benefit of cheap and
universal reading. This is the great dtstinc
tion between our northern and southern
states men, without regard to party ,the
South being a full century, behind the age.

DAftvtua rosT fries robbery.
Several sums of money amounting to
bout 11000 mailed at Danville, having been
missed several weeks mm, iwtpicion was
fixed upon Charles M. Dearhart of Hush
township in this county, who bad been
temporarily employed at the office It clerk.
In order to prevent detection he destroyed
while he was in the office, all letters from
the person to whom the money wm remit
ted. A day or two after leaving the office,
he suddenly made up his mind to go to
Ohio. From some circumstances that trans
pired, the suspicion of hi guilt became so
strong, that Mr. C. Garretson of Danville,
went in pursuit of him, and arrested him in
Mount Vernon, Ohio, and found Upon his
person f 3,684 in Cash and checks. Mr,
Garretson, in his despatch, says, he has
identified some of the notes found in his
possession By another letter just received
from Mr. Garretson, we learn that an effort
was making to discharge young Gearliart
upon a Habeas Corpus, and that an attempt
was also about being made to convict Mr.
Garretson ol perjury on the ground that his
affidavit against Gearhart was false. The
monev was nut in the hands of the Sheriff
at Mount Vernon for safe keeping. It is
to be regretted, that Mr. Gearhart, in an
evil hour was tempted to an act which will
blast forever his reputation. His con- 1
nections number about forty families of
that name, and are amongst the most res
pcctablo and prosperous farmers of Hush
township.
ANOTHER ANTI-TARIFF ARGUMENT.
We hail some idea of replying to some ol
the crude notions of our neighbor of the Ga
zette on the tariff in his last paper, but when
we came to the following profound argu
ment, we were so completely unhorsed that
our pen fell from our fingers :
"Let us suppose that thero is a specific du
ty of two cents per pound on brown sugar.
Then there is no more duty paid on the best
Havana sugar, than on the poorest New Or
leans, both payiug but two cents per pound."
A duty of two cents per pound on New
Orleans sugar! ! We should like to know
under what protective tariff, in this or any
other country, articles of domestic manufac
ture were made to pay a duty. The Ga
zette is entirely too profound.

VorJt Republican.
We don't believe that. A woman who
even never had been handsome, always
consoles herself with the reflection that
she was "some pumpkins," at one period of
her life.
E7Tho York Republican alledges that
the notes of the "York Bunk aro as good as
those of Northumberland," and consequent
ly, therefore, as good ns any in the State.
How true is tho old niliipe, "'tis an ill wind
&o." We received a V. on the York Bank,
about the time of its reported failure", from a
source wholly unexpected.
The tolls of the public works consider
ing the stagnation of the iron business has
increased $67,414 thisseason. Should Penn
sylvania become extensively engaged in the
iron business the tolls would soon free us from
taxation, and thus virtually put us out of debt

C?" Some of our whig contemporaries are
down upon Judge Parsons with tho savage
'erocity of a meat axe, for having said in one
of his charges, that of late years there was no
use of convicting a man of crime, as they
were only turned loose again by the pardon

fresh the Judges recollection by statistics of
pardons granted when he was Secretary of

We take the following extract from
the "Mountain Echo," a democratic paper
published at Johnstown, Cambria County :

ii is reany sicKemng io witness the arro
gance'and presumption of a certain class of
Hunker politicians, who-vauntingly claim the
prerogative of reading democrats in or out of
Hie parly, who do not coincide with them in
all their political w in ins. We apprehend, to
be a democrat is to be a 'freeman whom the
truth makes free." To constitute such a de
mocrat it is requisite that be should act upon
nunesi couviciiuna oi ngni, ana not to b

On the subject of a Tariff, we hold that
democrats can consistently disagree. The in
