steamboat Lin y Walker, dipt. Vann, left this
place for New Orleans yesterday, crowded with I
passenger. When about four or five miles be
low New Albany, and just before sunset, some
parlol her machinery got out of order, and the en
cine was stopped in order to repair it. While
rngaged in making the necessary repairs, the
water in the boilers got too low ; and about five
minutes after the engine had ceased working, her
lliroe hwilers exploded with tremendous violence,
iiid 1mi rihle and terrific effect. The explosion
was upwards, and that part of the boat alxive
the boilers was blown into thousands of pieces.
The U. S. snag boat Gopher, Captain L. H.

at the time of the explosion. Captain Dunham

One man was blown up fifty yards, and fell with
such lorce as to go entirely through the dec k of
the boat. Another was cut entirely in two by a
piece of the boiler. We have beard of many
Mich hea.t-rcnding and sickening incidents.
I!efre Captain Dunham reached the place
where the Lucy Walker was, he saw a number
of persons who had been thrown into the liver,
drown. He, however, saved the lives of a large
number of persons by throwing them boards and
ropes, and pulling them on his boat with books.
Immediately after the explosion, the ladies' ca

K7" The following advice, upon the subject of
political squabbling, though late in the season, is,
nevertheless, worth preserving, even in the pre
sent advanced stage of our political campaign. It
is only when the fever of political excitement
has abated, that many are able to see what
dunces they have been making of themselves.
The idea of attempting to convince political op
ponents, and convert them from their errors, by
heaping abuse upen theni and their candidates,
is truly ridiculous, and yet we see this mode of
political warfare almost universally pursued by
members of both parties, with vpry few excep
lions. We copy from the Philadelphia Ledger :
'TlIK I'ltOPrH THEATMFNT OF Pol.lTICAl. Op-
ponf.ms. In the present season of of political
excitement, the pla'n duties that every citizen
owes to his political adversaries, should be of
ten brought before the minds of the people.
It is doubtless true that the majority of the
members of both the great politicil parties in our
land sincerely seek to promote the interests of
our country. Though the-ir opinions are tlilior-

The following document wae sent by the
House of Mishopsto the Secretary ol the Stand
in ft Committee of the Diocese, and by him trans
mitted to our office for publication. It tells its
own melancholy story, and needs no comment
from lis. The act of discipline which it an
nounces wipes oil from the escutcheon of toe di
ocese the stain by which it has of late been sul
lied. Hut let us never forget that the individ
ual who is the subject of it was once our llish
op ; and we trust that while lie lives, prayer
will not cense to be offered up that his deep de
gradation in the Church on earth, may he bil
lowed by that repentance which shall prepare

Earthquake In Western Niw York.
On Tuesday morning last a very perceptible
shock of an earthquake was experienced in the
town of Alden, Albian, Alexander, Attica, lli.ta
via, Uetbany, Darien and F.lba.
A gentleman from Albion states that about S
o'clock in the morning, while he was at break
fast, something seemed to strike the side of the
house, jarring it all over, rattling the dishes on
the table. The sound then passed on w ith a deep
rumbling noise like a car passing over a rail
road. At the west end of the town, a lame
brick house was cracked through in the centre,
and some of the stones in the abutments of the
canal fell out.
Mr. Follett, assistant jios'niaster at Ratavia,
says the shock was felt there at 7 minutes past
S and lasted about two seconds.
A gentleman from F.lba estimates the duration
of the shock in that place at half a minute, and

killed, is represented as having been distressing
and awful. We believe none of the females on
board were injured some however may have
been drowned. The books of the bout were de
stroyed, and of course it will be impossible ever
to ascertain the names of or the number of those
killed. There wereat least fifty or sixty persons
killed and missing, and fifteen or twenty wound
