Christinas day, Iho engine stopped working, I
tho piston rod breaking off, and thus leaving
the vessal unmanageable. Tho sea every
moment struck her tremendous blows under
her guaids, tearing up tho planking fore and
aft on both sides. At the same time the
ship commenced to make water, w hen the
troops were organized into bailing gangs.
At 9 o'clock on tho morning of the 25',h,
tho sea struck amidships, with leniblo force,
carrying away loth the smoke stacks, all

largo number of passengers, including Col.
Washington and others, (us mentioned above)
two ladies, names unknown, iu addition to
the wife of Cap!. Taylor, three civilians,
names also unknown, and ISO United Slates
troops. At the same moment, three persons,
Brooks, the waiter, the barber of the
boat, and the carpenter's brother, Mr. Duck'

Tho production of bituminous coal in the
Pillfburg district, iu 1S53, was 20,707.921
bushels; and in 1S54. allowing ten per cent,
increase, will be 29 379, 813.
Tho Miners' Jouriml fays: Tho con
S'lmption of coal docs not increase as rapi.liy
as was supposed, lit loai, ine increase na
less than 13 per cent., and lefl a surplus in
the market. This year iho increased supply
is less than nine percent, from ull sources.
This, of course, is In be atli ibuted lo the
high prices oT coal during tiio latlcr part of
the year bul taking the avetr.go of tho last
three years, the increase will not average
over 12 per cent , ifit will reach it. We see
no good mason lo believe that this average
per ccnlago in Iho demand is likely lo be
exceeded ihu present year, which would re
quire an increase iu ihe supply of about
G23.000 tons, iu 1351, from all sources, to
keep the ltiaikel healthy.
This increased supply can easily bo fur
nished by Ihe different regions, provided
dealers and customers will come forward and
take coal early in iho spring.

The Ilarrisburg Union replica to the at
tack of the P nnsylvanian upon that paper,
in an article of great severity, and what
makei it worse lor the Pennsylvanian is,
lhat the stricture of the "Union" are as
true as they are severe. A noon as it was
announced that Geo. M. Lauman A Co
had become the proprietors of the Union,
the IVnnsylvnnian denounced the paper
and all connected with it, in advance, si in
ply because the proprietors were favorable
lo the election of Gen. Cass, instead of Mr.
Buchanan, and because they were friendly
to Gen. Cameron. According to the
clique that controls the Pennsylvanian, no
one can he a true democrat who supported
Gen. Cas and opposed the election of Mr,
Buchanan, and consequently Gen. Camer
on is abused and vilified most shamefully
because his name has been mentioned as
the successor ol Mr. Cooper in the United
Slates Senate. It i a well known lact
lhat Gen. Cameron, while in the United
Stales Senate, exercised a greater influence
in thai body, in behalf of his native State,
than any Senator she ever sent there. We
make room for the following extract from
the Union on this subject:

DEBATE ON CHRISTIANITY
A public debate has been going on for
more than a week past between the Rev.
Dr. Berg of Philadelphia and Mr. Barker
ol Ohio. The subject is the truth ol Chris
tianity, and the divine origin of the Bible.
Mr. Barker, who is evidently a man of
talent, contends that the Bible is the pro
duction ol fallible man inconsistent and
lull of errors, attributing to thi Aliv.lc.hly,
cruelty, injustice ond deceit, which he at
tempts to support by quoting 'passages from
the Bible. Dr. Berg, who is an able and
most eloquent divine, replies with J great
force, and often in strains of eloquence and
sarcasm that brings down thunders of ap
plause, and hisses for his opponent. The
following passage from Dr. Berg's reply
will show his style and manner of speak
ing, which we copy from the Register :
My opponent sp'tiks of Heaven. Thai
word is not iu lha infidel vocabulary Where
did ho got it 1 What light has he n an In
fidel to speak of Heaven 1 He, perhaps, for

It is singular lhat w hat I said about ihe
everpiesntit ugoncy of Providence, in the af
fairs of this world should havo driven my
opponent into :he dreaiy regions of atheism.
Ho desires a particular superintending Pio
vidence, and represents lllis world as govern

laws make themselves ? did they make tho
world ? Are thev entiiely independent of

their operations 1 Will he pretend lhat God

of the heathen, w ho, being asked on what
tho woild stood, icplied, ,:on a tortoise."

I here are tortoises all the wnv down.

of vain and weak minds, and this feature

i5-The wreck of the Steamship S.in
Francisco is one ol the most appalling ma
rine disasters, that has occurred for many
years. The great number of persons on
board, amounting to over seven hundred,
must have presented an awful sceye amidst
the storm and fury of Ihe waves of the
ocean. Our readers will find in our col
umns this week, a lull account of this ter
rible disaster. The ship was chartered by
our government lor the transportation ol
troop, iS-c, to California, and was, un
questionably, too heavily laden.
(7 The last .Vilionian has a letter from
a correspondent, now travelling in Michi
gan, that is a curiosity in its way. The
digestive organs of the writer must have
been sadly impaired when he penned Ihe
lollowing paragraphs, which we publish
for the benefit of our Michigan Iriends, (for
we have a number of friends and subscri
bers, in that young and enterprising state.)
We know not who tlie writer is, but we
know that a greater libel never was penned
upon Ihe character or habits of any people.
The Westi rn States . are gpnerally settled
wilh active, enterprising and intelligent
people, and Michigan is no exception.
We travelled some through lhat slate, some
fifteen years ago, and saw the Legislature
in session at D. troit. As a body, they
would compare favorably, with our own,
or any other legislature we have seen.
The writers brain was probably confused
by too close an inspection ol the Com
IViiskcy referred to. The letter is dated
at Lansing the new Capilo', from which
we extract the lollowing :

Buclier entered upon his duties on the 2d
