We learn from the New Orleans papTa nf the
U instant, the particulars of a terrible steamboat
accident, which occurred tithe s'rinV'oat Cbp
per, No. 1, on the Mississippi, at tfiynu Sara, on
iho 10h instant. The steamer p'icd ho'ween New
Orleans and that place, and u commanded y

The fallowing ia the account givi r.i ty the I. u
ir-iana. Chronicle :
Yivlctday, at a quarter pset C .Ve ck, aa th
s'camer Clipper No. 1 wra Ix'n'.Fg out from her
mooring at our landing, she IVw up with an x
plosion that shook earth, air an3 heaven, ai though
the walls of the world were tumbling to pieces about
inir ear. All the boilers burat simultaneously
machinery, vast frsgrr,nte of tbe boiiera, huge
beams of timber, furr.'.ture ei-l human beings in
evety degree of mutilation, were alike ahot up per
f endicularly many bunJted fjtboma in the air.
On reaching the preheat height, the varioua bodiea
divereed like the jeta of a founts n in all dircctiona
falling to the earth, and op?", t i;f ofbouara. in
rome instance aa much as two hjrvJreJ and Cf'.y
yarda from the ac-r.e of da:ruttion. The hapleaa
tictima were acalded, crilsl.eil, torn, ronngied and
acattered in every poaaible dirciiim ; many into
the river, aome in the ttr.ert c?m on tho other
ciJe of the Bayou, neatly three hundred yard;
aome torn aaunder by coming ir contact i:h pirk
eta and poatf, and otbora shot l.se cinnoo be.Ua
tlirough the solid walla of houses at a great distance
from the boat All in front of the wheel houses ap
peara as though swept by a whirlwind. Dut any
thing like an adequate description of '.he scene
( wrsck and ruin ia utteiiy out of the
question. What rrmaina of the hull has been
rumly laahed to the shore, but it secma to have bro
ken in two and partially sunk. She Lad just la
Vea on board, at the Railri&d Depot, about eighty,
it bales of cotton, nearly all of which, together
v. iih the money chest and uiost of the cabin fcrnt
lore, we arc glad to learn, has t-ecn saved.
On reaching the spot under whip and pur, we
immediately bent our steps toward the tempotory
t.oapiial hastily prepaed for the reception of such
as might be fjund to retain a spa k of life. The
srt no was such aa we hope never to look upon again.
The Coota of the two large warrrooma were liter
ully s rewn with the dead and dying, and others
pouring in aa fast m it was possible to convey them ;
praying, groaning, howling and writhing in every
postible contortion of physical agony, la the n.iJt

and cotton bandages, we found our pmUewcrthf

The Very Last Duel of all.
Juhn Mungoand Theopolutj Boon, two strap
ping- nrjjropF, undertook on Tuesday afternoon,
taseltle anafbiirof honor in the fashionable
way, by a report to the Jmllo. Boon was- the
challenger, and of course Mungo had a pre
Ecnpuve rigni 10 we cnotce 01 weapon, lieinf
of the etirrier'u opinion that there is 'nothing
like leather," he chose emehides. The paitics
met with their seconds in an open lot near the
junction of B.oad and South streets. Boon's
second objected to Alungo's pants which wero
made of thick kersey, and moreover were pla
ted or patched in a way that made them as oh
durate as the hide of a rhinoceros; whereas
Boon's inferior person was covered merely with
a thin pair of drillings. As it was found im
possible to reduce the two antagonists to equal
Urine by getting another pair ol pants to match
either Boon's or MungoV, one of the seconds
Euggcfted that they thould fight anna culottes;
a proposition which met with iti it-ediiite favor,
and both chivaliic grntleincn forthwith strip
ped for the cotitcet. At the concerted ignnl
the fight commenced, and it was ft-arful to see
how the instruments of flagellation were plied
by both combatants. Boon keeps a school for
young gentlemen of color ; Mtingo is a drayman;
both were versed in the Hogging business,
therefore, and made every stroke teJI. Twenty
or thirty lashes were given on each side, when
Mungo luid in such a scorcher that Biton could
stand it no loneer, but ingloriottBly fiVH, the vic
tor hard slier him. Three times) they circled the
lot like Ht ctor and Achilles around the wall
of Troy, w hen the vanquished Boon jumped the
fence and flew at full speed down Broad street
towards the city, the conqueror close at his
heels, plying the lash moat industriously. Two
6uch opparitions in such ungraceful dishabille,
naturally attracted much notice, and finally a
police officer took the further wtttement of the
dispute into hit own hands, stopped both fiipi-
live and pursuer, made them return to the field
of battle, resume their unmentionables, and
then conducted them to a place where much
hot blood ia regularly coolod down. On hear
ing the statements of the facts yesterday morn
ing, the Mayer ordered the two duellists to
find their bail for their better behaviour. Ne
verthfclefs, their selection of weapons will fur-
nibh a good hint to other brave youths who have
a serious rpanel to dispose of.

0 Nr.wsrAPFn Poktaos. W't hope the next
Congress will tke the subject of postaee into con
sideration. Newspn per postage particularly requires
super vi, ion. The postage on papers should not
exreed a half cent within the bounds nf the state,
and where the paper is n.'t caninl out of the coun
ty, the pos'sge should not rxreed half that sum. If
these rates were adopted, no papera would be car.
tied outside the mil. and the aggregate amount of
postage in the end. would be as great aa at present,
while at the same time, it would be conferring a
grent benefit on the reading community. T he P.

fj David B. Montgomery and Ex-Sheriff Oass-
br last wek pissed down the rivoron the Union
county aido, got into the Mahonoys, and endeavor
ed to corrupt aome of the steadfast old democrats.
After miking three or four unsuccessful attempts,
they tlnptif. The Ex-heriffis, proba' ly.the worst
man that Forsythe could have aent. They have
lost all confidence in him, and would hardly be
lieve him when he told the truth. Aa for Mont
gomery, every body knows that he ia opposed to the
ticket, becauve he was not placed upon it himself.
A moft excellent teason If not a patriotic one.
Yet these fellows call themselves democrats, and
have the impudence to cll on real democrats to
help them bri sk down the democratic party.
rXj" Who is Wm. Forsythe, that he should be
permitted to break down the tirket which be him
self helped to form, and which he publicly pledged
himself to support t Thia question shoulJ be re
eotved in the minJ of every democrat, who is really
a democrat in principle. Does any one suppose
that Forsythe carea any thing for tho party to which
he profetsti to belting ts it not aa evident aa the
un at noonday, that all he circa for. is, to get him
self, or his peculiar friends into office 1 Does anv
one suppose that he would have deser'ed from the
ranks of the fsderal party, which hia own friends
acknowledge he did, if it waa not lor the aake of of
fice ? If Mr. Forsythe's eopv.'raion to democracy,
hid been re-al, he would have shotvn it by hia con
duct, which should hive been a disposition on his
part to decline, rather than seek office. But no
sootier had Mr. Forsythe pushed himself into the
ranks of tbe party, than wc see bi n push ng bim.
self forward as a candidate for office, and when he
finds he cannot succeed, he is the fir.t man to offer
himself aa a volunteer candidate, to break down
tlx ticket. I-t it not an insult to the ilemocra:i.'
party, to offer them audi a man as a candidate to
breakdown the regularly fortn-d tick't, a ticket too,
that every hoi.estjnd honorable man acknowledges,
was aa fairlv formed as ni y ticket that was ever
offered to the pi opto of ibis county? Can any
honest di-iuferetcd democrat support such .1 man,
when they are made acquainted with all these facts?
We think not, and tbu result of tho election, on
Tuesday next, will show these office hunting pa
lent democrats that the pcoplo know them too well
to suppurt them.
The Reason Why.
The people generally were, for some time, at a
lose to know why Wm. Fur-ythe was su anxiaua
to be e'ectrd to the Legislature why it was that
certain persona from iho uppr end of the coumy,
between whom snd Wm. Forsythe there had here
tofore existed a deadly political animosity, we e
apen ling their lime ami money in traveling the
county to advocate his election; and why, loo, For.
sythe w as spending Ai oifrt money so freely in hire-
ing other to ride through the county ! ! But the
whole matter is now explained. ''The thing's out."
Msny a fortune ties been made by the formation
of new counties, and a few town lots will fully in
demnify a representative for the trouble and ex
pense of hia election.
No Division o !ltv County.
The sttenipt to dismember this county by ihe for
mation ot a new county, meet with no fav.ii from
a large majority of the people. On this sid of the
Susquehanna it has cused a general burat of in
dignation. The people w ill not submit to be sad.
died with additional laxea fir the benefit of a few
speculator. There is no nece-aity fur a new coun
ty. Oi l Noilliuml erland baa been cut and carved
enough, in all conscience, already. Il is time that
ibis qui a ion should be settled forever, and, if we
are not mistaken In tbe a'gn nf the times, the peo.
pie will effectually settle it next Tuesday, by over
whelming Forsythe, ihe diciiion candid ite, with
uch a defeat aa will teach speculators and disor.
ganiiers a useful lesson.
The Whigs aud tbe Tariff.
We cannot see how the whins, whose principal
opp si i 'ii lo ihe election of the lion. John Snyder
s grounded n bis supposed hostility to the pre.
enl Tariff, (which, however, is not the case,) can
conse entiously support Wm Fo'syihe, who be.
longs to, and has always acted in conjunction with
1 lie small aqoad which corrpo es the Anti-Tariff
party in ibis county. E. Y. Bright, on the olher
herd, bss alwsys been an open and avowed fiiend
of the Tar.ff, and im fovor of protecting the inte-
rcots of tbe farmer, mechanic aud laborer.
A Sign.
At a gathering in Lower Mahonoy laat Tuesday
a vote was taken between the candidates for As
I senility. Bright had 30 and Forsythe NONE.
"Don't ttll any body tbat we vtitp Election
coring against tbe Ticket,"
Was theremaik that David B, Montgomery made
when he and Sheriff Gossler were in Upper Maho
noy, about ten daya since, electioneering for For
sythr, against the Ticket. The rcmatk wss made
to a ceitjiu iiifluential democrat whom thev tricj
lo corrupt. We thought il ht-. to put it q;, re
cord, It at it should te forgotten. In Shamokin,
Gossler tuld one vt Forsythe's own friends, that
they would give Billy a majority of 1000 on their
aide of the river. Ha waa laughed at, and told thai
they ouly polled !10i) latt year, and if ha got the
's.'K-aji.i. u i.ii. . ' . .i
half, it w u'd do. In this place, he told an Anguiita
farmer, that B.lly wou'd have 1500 majority on
that aide, and was again laughed at, and told, that
that waa just two hundred more than they ever
polled. The Forsythe men nnly claim from 4 to
COO, and we are sure to give Bright from 800 to
1000 on thia side. That Ex-ShoiitT la a smart fel

"There was some dissatUfae'ion with the Ticket

now. The Democracy of Shamokin have made
up their minds to stick to the Ticket. You msy

writo you a lino to bt you know something about
the election here in this plare. Forsythe snd Geo.
Kiehl of Sutihury wss down ibis week, but they
got poor encouragement. They sail hard things
aguinst Bright; but they always talk so on the o.
titer side of the river against our candidates. Me
and my neighbors thought that three two men were
not ihe kind of men to blackguard Bright. They
ought to sweep befoie tbeir own door. Forsythe
said be was not going for a new countv that it
waa all electioneering scheme. I asked him what
Montgomery waa el ctiontering for him for, when
he and all hia friends had opposed Montgomery
last fall. That a man would rot spend his lime
snd his money for no'hing. This stumped him,
and he went off People hore are all opposed to a
new county, and you may depend Bright wdl hae,

A Shocking Mnrder In fteltlmore.
A revolting murder waa committed in Baltimore,
early on Thursday evening, in one of the most pub
lie streets of that city, on the persan of Miss Ma
ria Burk, a young woman of irreproachable charac
ter. Tbe deceased, aged about twenty-eight years,
left the dwelling of Mr. Poultney, m Mulbury 1.,
to bting home Mr. Moale's daughter who had been
spending the afternoon at Mr. P's. When in Mul
bury street, only a few yards east of Poultney's
house, a man suddenly approached her, and aJ
dressed some insulting language to her. Alarmed
at being thus accosted by a stranger at night, aha
shrunk back, and inquired of him what he wanted
with her. To thia the ruffian replied that he pur.
posed murdering her. Then, stepping behind her,
he atruck her a powerful blow with a club on the
right side uf the head, which felled her to the ground,
and fled. In her f ill she injured herself aeverly on
the left side of her head and neck. Aa soon aa
she recovered sufficiently, she crawled to Mr. Poult,
ney's steps and rang the I ell. She wast-ken in
ly the servants. Slie lingered in great agony un
til four o'clock next morning, when ahe died. Sus
picion has attached to nobody, as no mot've to
such a featful act on the part of any one could ba
conceived. A reward of five hundred doll irs has
been offered by tbe Msyor, f r the epprehen-ion of
the murderer.
