Triumph In Nch Hampshire.
ICT•The organe of the Foreign party
affect an ill-disguised contentment with
the defeat of the Pierce dynasty iu New
Hampshire, and carefully keep from their
readers the real merits of the contest just
ended. A year 'ago, the Americans and
Republieima, in the, full flush of new po
litical combination, and aided principally
by a defection in the Democratic ranks
headed by no leas a person than EDMUND I
Buntu—su eceeded in swinging the "0 ran
he State" from her steadfast moorings, for
the first tine in a long series of years. Mor
tified beyond conception by the repudiation
of hie Adtninistration by hisnative State
President Piero determined that no e ff ort
and no in fl uence within the command of
the .National. Admit:4.lo;llllßn should be
left untried to bring the State back toiler
first love The diffioultY with . Berke was
arrtinged,`, and his faction Wheeled . into
line.... A distinetive Whig organization
was encottragedlto draw off as many vutesi
as possibld from the Atuerienn nomitices,
i
and the latter were compelled to go into
the canvass deprived of the powerful aid
rendered theni by Burke and his friends
the year before, and relying solely upon
the merits of the questions *Aisne before
the people: The National AdministMtion
threw its Whole influence into the canvass
—money was freely squandered, and every
corner in the State sought out by the. a
gents of party--and the rook, is that af
ter one of the, most memorable canvasses
in the political history of the ,State, her
people have again deliberately pronounced
against the, Foreign Party. Returns from
220 towns give Metcalf, 'American, for
Governor, .3 . 1.983 Wells, Democrat,
• $
31,0554 Goedwin, Whig, 2,497 ; scatter
ing 141. There are. yet nine towns to hear
from; which will not materially vary the
result. The Ainericans and Republicans
have carried both the Senate and House,
so that Metcalfs election is secure, should
there be no ohniee by the people. In the
palmy days of the old Whig party, New
Hampshire uniformly gave from 12,000 to
15,000, and even' ineremf a majority for
,the Democracy. The hest vote reached
by the opposition to Locefoecism' when led
ky,Cley and kindred spirits, did not ex
ceed 18,000 or 19,000. Rut times are
.
now changed. The litteetruckling to Jes.
nitistn has broken the nand of the Loenfo
eo letiderr , rind we . have now over 81,-
000 voters in Now Hampshire on the side
of Right, and Truth and Justice.

Thp disaster produced, so well it might,
d4p distress and,mourning both in Phil.
adelphia and Camden. In the latter place
where 'many of, die unfortunate victims
resided, . distress prevailed thronghout
Satbrday night and Bentley. The Phila.
delphin Inquirer says:
-:Nwsooner was the fire seen from the
Jersey shore than vast crowds of citizens
and their families assembled at the wharves
and intkilie auZiety, alarm 'and excite-,
meat prevailed ; while thczatmomphere

ing their hands children calling tot their

ing the supposed hiss of their children.—
In the brief apace .( a few minutes more 1 ,
tliafifty of our fellow being's• perished by
this 'or water. They met their sad late
within a few rods of crowded wharves
auda populous • city— and of those who
are numbered with the dead there is every
reason to believe that at least thirty were
residents of Camden. ,
The Philadelphia Ledger has the fol-
I owing detailed account of the accident,
with the names of the lost, rescued and I
Missing, together with numerous thrilling
incidents and effecting narrative& of sev•
era I who miraculously escaped death from
fire and water :
The boat was headed for the renal, but
on. reaching that point °amain Corson
discovered that the ire was so jammed
between the hanks that to go through
would ho almost an impossibility.
The boat was then turned northward,
en as to cross the bar some distance above
Island. Witco nearly opposite
the Arch street wharf the boat was die.
covered to be on fire near the smoke stack.
Au effort was made to check the flames,
but without avail. A scene of wild excite
ment reseed, the passengers all pressing
forward to escape the flames and to he
the first to jump ashore, as soon as the
boat should much wharf. The Captain
having directed the idiot to steer direct
for the Arch Street wharf. The fire had
broken ant amidships, in the immediate
neighb.olioml of the engine. It is believed
11111 it originated in the fire•room. The
flamer spread with fearful rapidity. mid
in. an instant, almost,'the fire, wafted in
that direction, had enveloped the entire
miter part of the host in flames. Before
reaching the wharf the fire was raging a
round the pilot house and the engine, and
ho It the engineer and the pilot were tide.
ris froMilleir posts. The boat steered by
tiller chains, but'the pilill and the engi.
neer being unable to noontide their stations
the ~ t eather heeauis unmanageable.—
When within about thirty feet of-the wharf
• the pilot house fell. A flood title was
running, and setting up the river, which
I.llllsoll the boat tosheer off from the wharf
and float towards the island regain. Be
lore this time, however, moot of the pas.
-mowers had jumped overboard, some of
4,1 whom matiaged to get upon cakes of
ice, stud others were taken from the
vat
er by persons in small boats. Mauy of
the passengers, 11111011 Z whom were come
families, remained On the boat until the

,Sllsls succeeded in lenping safely ashore
when the host neared the wharf, tint nth

ore rescued by those who were on the
whavvps and upon the vessels lying along
4,11C111. Boats were put out from the shore
ss,:prontptiy as possible ; a !loather of
!dtienompanies were upon the wharf, and
-some•of the members were instrumental
!in seeing life. Hose was laid in resat

A BRUTE IN HUMAN FORM.—The Re

' lowing account of the brutal treatment of
a little boy by hir father, one Thomas
- Lewis. Lewis is a drinking man, and a
man of most furious passion. He struck
his boy with a bath shovel, clearing his
scalp to the skull. He then kicked him
out of doors, kicked him in the mouth,
rubbed his face in the snow, afterwards
dragged him in the kow, swore he would
cut lute head off, amid made a deadly thrust
at him with a butcher knife, which the boy
by a quick movement asiliped. His
hither then knocked him down, and left
hint bleeding upon the flour. On a for
mer occasion, Lewis pointed a loaded gun
Ist the boy, and under a threat to shoot
him made him climb a telegraph pole.—
A short time before the death of his wile,
they lust a young child. While his wife
was on her bed, sick, and as it proved,
death bed, Lewis .went to the grave, dug
up ►he child, took it from thii coffin, tore
off its shroud, and thrust the child lino the
bed of his dying wile, saying, with horrid
imprecations, "that she might have her
child if she made such a fuss about it."
This he did because his wile Moaned im
moderately for her child.
