(Tuesday evening,) the election is still going on,
and therefore no returns can be given. Our next

much more information about the result of the
election throughout the State as we shall be able to
obtain. In the mean time our editorial brethren
may expect to receive slips from this otlice.
The Synod of the Presbyterian Church which
embrnees the District of Columbia, the States of
Maryland, Delaware, and Pennsylvania as far
westward as the Alleghenies, was to convene yester
day, in Baltimore. The opening sermon was to be
preached by the Rev. John McDowell of Phil's.
Drowned.
The United States Gazette of Wednesday last
says—" A young man 20 years of age, named Luke
Lindsay, was yesterday drowned in the Delaware,
near Arch street wharf. He was a hand on board
of the canal boat J. K. Neff, and fell overboard while
passing the vessel into the dock with a pole."
We believe the young man as well as the boat
is from this county.

timore American looks confidently for Whig gains
in several of the Counties yet to be heard from.—
Without any further changes, however, the result
now ascertained,—the Senate being also Whig by
a majority of five—will secure the election of a
Whig U. S. Senator for the ensuing six years, and
likewise a just division of the State into Congres
sional Districts. Again we say

The Baltimore papers bring the cheering infor
mation that the Whigs have elected FOUR out of
FIVE of their candidates for tho Assembly. The
average majority is 97. In 1841 the Locofocos
had 1062 majority and last year 752. The total
vote was greater than last year, and is therefore a
fair expression of the change of popular feeling.
Destruction of the Steamship Mis
souri by Fire.
___
We regret to have to announce the total destruc
tion by fire of the splendid American steam frigate
Missouri, while at anchor in the Bay of Gibraltar,
on Saturday the 3d of September. She had the
Hon. Caleb Cushing on board, proceeding to Alex
andria, en route for China, es Minister.
The alarm was first given at eight o'clock, pre
cisely, and wns followed by such a burst of flame
front the engineer's store-room, as to lead to the
belief that it originated among the oil and spirits.
Every exertion was made to subdue it, and the
large pumps were instantly put in operation; but
the progress of the flames were so rapid, that it be
came necessary to flood the two magazines, which
was done so effectually, that it was not until twenty
minutes after three, A. M., that any explosion took
place, and then not to nn extent to endanger the
shipping in the Bay, and the nearest of which had
I already been removed by the acting captain of the
port. Assistance was promptly sent front the
Malabar, under the personal superintendence of Sir
George Sartorius, and the Locust got up her steam,
and ran alongside the Missouri, with the view of
towing her into deep water, or rendering any other
aid, but unfortunately she had already grounded,
which rendered it impossible to scuttle her.
As soon as the fire broke out, the Governor or
dered the Waterport gate to be opened, and pro
ceeded himself to the wharf, front whence he des
patched two engines, under charge of the artillery
and sappers; but in spite of the united efforts of the
crew of the Missouri and her friendly auxiliaries,
We trust it will not be considered presumptous
to refer to the discipline on board this ill-fated vessel ;
but, as persons employed alongside during the pro
grass of the calamity, and on whose veracity we can
place the utmost reliance, have been desirous of
bearing undeniable testimony on this most impor
tant subject, we beg to inform our readers that they
describe the descipline and order on board as almost
admirable; several orders were given and obeyed, as
if the vessel had been in perfect safety, and nothing
had occurred to excite alarm or confusion.—Gebra/-
tar Chronicle.
Singular Occurrence,
The New York Tribune Rays, one of our oldest I
and most learned divines on Sunday morning suf
fered a temporary and rather serious absence of
mind; but before the hour of morning service arri
ved, was supposed to have entirely recovered, and
went to his church to perform the duties of his call
ing. He proceeded regularly with the services of
the day, and preached an extemporaneous discourse,
which was declared by many who heard it, to be
one of the most eloquent, perspicuous and argu
mentative sertnons they had ever listened to.
After the clergyman arrived home it was noticed
that his mind was again wandering, and proper
medical treatment was resorted to, and he has since
in a great measure, recovered. Ho states that he
has not the slightest recollection of preaching on
the last Sabbath or even of being at church, so that
he must have delivered an eloquent and lucid dis
course while in a state of suspended intellectual
action, a phenomenon, certainly of a curious and
unusual character. The only discrepancies obser
ved in the services of the day were two : after reading
the commandments the clergyman repeated the
sixth, and when giving out the second hymn ho
gave out the same one which had been previously
sung.

Steamboat Explasion—Thirty P;
5011 - S . MUNI !
The New Orleans Picayune of the 22d ult., has
the following notice of another dreadful steamboat
disaster:
Our citizens were thrown into a state of painful
excitement yesterday morning, by intelligence re.
ceived of the destruction of the steamboat Clipper,
Capt. Laurent, by the bursting of her boilers at
Bayou Sara. The number of persons killed has
not, at this present writing, been ascertained in
town, but it is supposed that all the crew were lost,
save nine. Of these, seven were scalded. The
clerk of the boat, Capt. Bossy, was among those
missing. Copt. Laurent and his pilot, Mr. Jordan,
escaped unharmed.
The accident occurred as the Clipper was back
ing out from the wharf at Bayou Sara, with the
view of proceeding to Tunica to take in cargo.
The "second edition" of the Picayune, has since
conic to hand—it says:
The following are the most important particulars
as fair as we have been able to gather them:
The crew consisted of 1 captain, 1 mate, 2 clerks,
3 engineers, 2 pilots, 1 carpenter, 1 watchman, 1
chambermaid, 6 stewarts, 3 cooks, 15 firemen, 8
deck hand-43.
Passengers.--L. Thomas, missing , P.O. Moh
roman, commission merchant, New Orleans, and
ono small boy wounded. Deck passengers, 1
wounded, 2 not hurt.
Capt. Laurent escaped unhurt; Mr. Bossy, chief
clerk, missing, and the second clerk killed ; John
Tyson, chief engineer, badly wounded; Win.
Sumter, 2d engineer, thrown 150 or 200 yards
through the roof and gable end of a house, into the
back yard against the fence—one arm was tom off
and the fragment of his carcase scattered over The
trees; Wm. Nelson, 3d engineer, free men of color,
killed; Armtek J. Lavond, pilot, missing; Wm.
Wall, pilot, killed; John Peterson, mate, badly
scalded, though likely to recover; Gabriel Pool, car.
penter, missing; watchman killed; chambermaid
saved unhurt ; stewards all killed or missing; two
I of the cooks killed and ono wounded ; eight firemen
killed or missing; four deck hands killed or mis-
It may be well enough here to state, that all those
we have put down as missing, are doubtless dead, as
every search has been made in the vicinity to reco
ver their bodies in vain. They have doubtless found
a watery grave.

The remains of those picked up on shorn, were
interred decently.
The Watchman, a white man, was thrown alive,
100 yards, through the solid wall of Baker?. Hotel,
into a bed. He retained his senses perfectly for
some time after, but the poor fellow expired during
the evening. _

Mr. Thomas, a grocer of Bayou Sara, mentioned
above as among the passengers, had just taken leave
of his wife and family and stepped on board when
the explosion occurred. His wife and child, and
another lady and child who happened to be with
her, hearing the uproar, ran immediately to the front
windows to ascertain the cause. They had scarce
ly done so, when with a deafening crash—driving
in a third of the entire roof in its descent—lay a
vast fragment of the boiler on the very spot they
had just quitted !
P. S.—Since the above was in type, we have
learned the death of another of the firemen.
The New Government Currency.
The New York Express of Friday says—
It is asserted, from so many different sources, that
the Secretary of the Treasury is on the eve of issu
ing a Million of Dollars in Treasury notes, princi
pally of the denomination of Fifty Dollars, that we
aro bound to believe this is the fact. The Presi
dent in February last, in a message to Congress, ex
pressed his apprehension that there would be a full
ing off in the estimated proceeds both of Customs
and the Public Lands, and that the Treasury would
consequently be exhausted. It is now stated that
the deficiency of the last quarter of the current year
will be about Five Millions of Dollars.
To meet this deficiency it is now proposed to
issue Five Millions of Treasury Notes, authorised,
by existing laws, in sums of Fifty Dollars, and up
wards, bearing an interest of one mill per cent.,
payable at the seat of Government, but convertible
ut New York and New Orleans into specie. The
first batch of these bills is to appear in a few days,
and it is believed they will essentially relieve the
wants of the Treasury. Wo never entertained a
doubt an issue of fifteen or twenty Millions of Dol
lars, which was about the circulation of the Bank
of the United States, if issued in sums as low as
five dollars, redeemable in specie, at any of our
great cities, and receivable for public dues, might be
kept constantly on the Public ; and that, they would
not only be kept at par in all places, but would ben
efit the public much, at large.
How far Congress will deem it secure to permit
the Government to become bankers, and to put
forth bills at pleasure, is another matter. If the
Government have the power to issue paper at plea
sure, the sonic difficulty will exist that was com
plained of under Mr. Biddle's administiation.—
Then, it was said, the Bank expanded and con
traded the circulating medium at pleasure. The
new system is liable to the same allegations of fa
voriteism and frauds that were complained of under
the old plan. We shall wait to see how the new
Congress will meet the question. If his concurred
in, the principles and practice of the Government
wtll bo widely different.
Two wood choppers near Now Orleans, recently
got beastly drunk, and quarrelled. One chopped
the other up as if ho were an old tree.
Another Murder for Money,
We aro not partial, as a general rule, to publish
ing accounts of murders and other horrible affairs,
but the following is one of such peculiar atrocity,
that we give it a place.
Murder for money is getting to ho practised fcer
fully frequent. A most horrible murder was cont
ained at Westfield Society, in Middletown, Conn.,
lately. Mrs. Bacon, wife of E. Bacon, remained at
home while the rest of her family, consisting of her
husband and two children, went to church at Mid
dletown, a distance of three miles. When they re
turned, they found her lying dead, with seven stabs
on her person. Two men, named Roberts and
Bell, have been arrested on suspicion.
The New Haven Herald gives the frightful de
tails of this murder, which show it to be one of the
most horrible on record. The walls and floor were
covered with blood, evidences of frightful, desperate
ferocity, she in defending herself from the assaults
of her savage murderers, and they in their diabolical
exertions to overmaster this heroic but ill-fated wo
man. She was about thirty-five years of age. She
is represented as an estimable but courageous wo
man, of large frame, and just the person to resist
an attempt at robbery. She hits three children, and
was universally esteemed, the whole family being
members of the Presbyterian Church. The house
was robbed of $75.
The murder is supposed to have been committed
by a conple of foreigners, who had been lurking in
that region some days. The whole region was in a
state of intense excitement, and pursuit was going
on in every direction. What an appalling spectacle!
—Such a cold-blooded, fiendish murder, on Sabbath
day, upon a lone, unprotected, defenceless woman,
in broad daylight, in the very heart of New England!
Hurricane in Vlorida.
A tremendous hurricane visited Florida on the
14th ult. The town of Port Leon was totally
destroyed by tho gale raising the tide until it swept
over the town to the depth of ten feet, destroying
nearly every building, and making a loss of some
$250,000. At St. Marks every dwelling, except
the light house, was swept away, and fourteen livos
lost. The storm extended with more or less dam
age along the whole coast. In the interior, trees
were uprootei t and much cotton destroyed. The
light house on Dog Island is gone. The inhabi
tants of Port Leon have unanimously determined
to abandon the present eche of their town, for one
more favorable, and less dangerous.
President Durbin.
The Rev. Dr. Durbin, President of Dickinson
College, returned to Carlisle on Thursday the 21st
ult. The Herald says :
"His arrival in town was marked by the most
signal manifestations of rejoicing on the part of the
students. Upon the approach of the cars to town,
a procession of the students was former, 1.....tded I
by the Faculty of the College, who received him at
' tile railroad depot, and escorted him to the College.
We Want that an address was there made to him
by one of the students deputed for the purpose, to '
which Mr. Durbin replied.
In the evening additional festivities took place in
honor of the return of the President. Both Col
lege buildings, with the Grammar School, were
splendidly illuminated, and a variety of flre-works
exhibited from the campus. The brilliant egrets
! clo attracted crowds of ladies and gentlemen, who
seemed to enter fully into the exiiikration and ex
j citement of the occasion."
Qj Oliver Cromwell was born the third of Sep
tember, on that day fought his threo great battles
of Marston Moor, Wocester and Dunbar, and on
that day died.
