The Steamship Pacific.
The arrival of still another steamer from
Lugland without tidings of the Pacific, and the
lapse of about fifty days since she left Liver
pool, are sufficient to destroy the hopes of
many who have been heretofore confident that
he was not lost. Hope now begins to give
way to despondency, and tho horrible idea that
the noble vessel with forty-fivepassengers and
a crew of one hundred and forty souls has
gone down forever into the ocean’s yawning
gulf, presents itself to the minds of men, with
tnrtling force. The remembrance of the
President and the City of U'asgow, that were
: ever heard of more—of the Nashville, that for
several days lay a disabled wreck at the mer
cy of a heavy sea, each mighty swell sweeping
• ill scores of her exhausted and despairing pas
sengers nd crew—of the ill-fated Aroticgoing
down by inches, while from her decks
• Manhood sternly market I bi* tomb.
Ami woman wailed amid the gloom,
As slowly sank th wreck”—
—all theso dismal and tearful mementoes of
the past rise up to rebuke and dispel the faint
suggestions of that consoling principle which
“ lives eternal in the human breast.” Sad
and sickening as is the contemplation, the
public mind must now apprehend the fearful
probability that the Pacific is added to the
number of ocean steamers engulfed in the wa
ters of the vast Atlantic.
A report has been in circulation in New
i ork, to the effect that Capt. Nyc, until re
cently the commander of the Pacific, had de
clared that she was unseaworthy and that he
believed she bad gone down. The frequent
repetition of this report lias called out Captain
Nye with a card through the press, in which
be docs not deny the substantial correctness of
the rumor. It appears from this card, that
* apt.. N. wished to give np the command of the
Pacific long ago, but after the disaster to the
\ retie he preferred to rotaiu his post for a few
months longer, fearful that his motives might
be improperly assailed if he retired at once.—
NV hen he gave up the command, he recoin*
mended as his successor a gentleman in whom
the crow had confidence, and who was accep
table to Mr. Collins, but ltrown Lb-os. & Cos.
procured the appointment of another to the
tation, and the engineer and other principal
officers then resigned their places. To this
circumstance Capt. N. thinks the non-arrival
of the Pacific is mainly to be attributed, and
be has no hopes of ever seeing her again. This
statement is one of appalling interest at this
time, and it has no doubt crushed tho still liv
ing hopes of many who had relatives and
friends on the missing steamer. Sincerely do
wt* liopt that the prospect of her safety is not
o desperate and gloomy as the circumstances
seem to indieate.
The Governorship of Wisconsin.
Madison, Wis.. March 8.
Governor ltarstow has sent a message to the
Legislature denying the jurisdiction of the
Supreme Court in the matter of the Governor
ship, and avowing his determination to resist
my interference with his rights. A Demo
ratie meeting had, also, been held, at which
it was resolved to support Gov. ltarstow.
We have already stated the facts pertaining
to this case. A return notoriously fraudulent
was made from one of the counties to the office
of the Secretary of State, and counting it with
fho legal returns (which we presume the Soc
• rotary was compelled to do), ltarstow had a
-modi majority in the entiro Stnte: he was
:hus declared reelected, ltut Itashfoial ap
plied to the Supreme Court for redress, and
that tribunal has rendered a decision in his
favor, ltarstow has taken the oath for a now
term, and is still the acting Governor. We
believe that one House of the Legislature
sides with ltarstow and the other with
Ba.shford; one has reported the return by
which ltarstow was declared to bo re-elected
fraudulent and void, and we arc not inform
ed that the majority of the other House dcuy
ihe correctness of this report. The case pre
sents some novel features, involving the juris
diction of the Supreme Court in the matter,
the duty of the Secretary of State in reference
to returns evidently false, and the remedy af
ter a Governor has been officially declared
elected and sworn into office upon a fraudulent
return of votes.

The Main Trunk Hailway.
By the provisions of the act extending State
nid to this work, the road is to commence near
the corner of Appling ami Wayne counties,
thence to run to the vicinity of Warcsboro in
Ware county, and thence to he curried west
wards to the western bank of the Chattahoo
chee river, at some point between Fort Gaines
and the junction of the Chattahoochee and
Flint rivers. The main object is declared to
be, to effect a onion of the Atlantic and the
Gulf by a railroad through Southern Georgia,
and the commissioners are to have this object
in view in locating the route and its western
terminu-. Tho commissioners appointed to
superintend the enterprise are to meet in Mil
ledgevillc on the list inst., when they will
doubtless open books Os subscription and order
a survey with a view to the precise location of
the route. After §OOO,OOO shall have been
subscribed by individuals, the State is to sub
scribe for §IOO,OOO of stock, and in the same
proportion for any larger sum subscribed by
individuals. The connection troin citlici Sa
vannah or Brunswick must be effected up to
the Main Trunk before any iron is to be laid
upon the latter. Jn reference to these con
nections, we understand that that lro i Savan
nah will be about seventy-three miles in length,
that the city has subscribed one million of
dollars for its construction, and that a small
portion of the road is already in running order,
with work progressing on a much larger por
tion of the route. The Brunswick connection
will be about fifty miles in length if run to the
starting point of the Alain Trunk, or sixty-five
miles if carried to Warcsboro’. About thirty
miles of this connecting road is already gra
ded.
It will be seen from this statement, that in
all probability the preliminary requirements in
reference to one or the other of the connect
ing lines will he fully consummated before any
iron is needed for the Main Trunk. The State
aid may therefore be considered ns not only
secure, but fully available as soon us it is re
quired. That tho amount required of individ
ual subscribers will lie speedily taken, there
can be little’doubt, 4 for the general opinion
prevails that the road must be a profitable and
paying one. It will do much to develop the
resources of a fertile and dc-irable portion of
our State, and to extend to its thrifty settlers
all the advantages of easy commercial ex
changes with almost the entire Union. It will
greatly enhance the value of the lands of the
whole region through which it is to run, and
largely increase the revenue of the State.—
Sound and enlightened Statepoliey demands it
—the interest of the poorest settler, as well as
of the large landholder or speculator, calls
aloud for it—both capital and industry will
be bcnctittcd by it, and the progressive spirit
of the age must urge its speedy completion.
Business at New Orleans,
isixly-six steamboats lYom the up-country
arrived tit New Orleans last week, viz: 53
from the lower Mississippi and its tributaries,
12 from the Ohio and its tributaries, and one
from the upper Mississippi. I‘>y these arrivals,
fiO.OfiK bales of Cotton, 5,1711 liluls. of Sugar,
0,518 bbls. Molasses, !!,o'.*s bids. Flour, 110,-
O'lli sacks of Corn, 10,214 sack of Wheat, 117

on Saturday evening was 271,301 bales, against

Fire—One Hundred and Ecighty Thousand
Dollars worth of Cotton Destroyed.
Quite a brisk fire started into existence,
about 7 o’clock 011 Friday morning, among a
lot of cotton piled in the third yard of the
lower cotton press. Third District. The fire
was observed a few minutes before, by the
yard clerk, who tried to quench it, but the
flumes spread with too great a velocity to be
stopped by the means and appliances at his
command. Not more than 10 minutes elapsed
from the time the tiro was first discovered un
til the entire cotton shed and all was inflames.
Not only tho cotton iu tliisslieU, but that stored
iu two adjoining stieds was destroyed. The
three sheds in question are now a mass of ru
ins. A brick wall, fronting on Grcatwcu
street, fell, and falling on au employee of the
yard, broke his leg. lie was removed to his
home for surgical attendance. There was a
rumor afloat at one time that five or six other
persons were under the wall, crushed in by’ the
rubbish. This, wo are glad to say, was not
the case. A number of engines, together with
the ‘Young America’ steam engine, were 011
the ground, but owing to the scarcity of water,
little good was the result, When our reporter
left “Young America” was playing away right
rapidly, with six branchliose, bearing heavily
on the smouldering remnant of the conflagra
tion. A strong opinion is abroad that the
whole tiling is the work of an incendiary. If
it had occurred in the night time, there is no
knowing or calculation of the loss of property
j which would have ensued. Another fortunate
circumstance is, besides that of the tire having
taken place in the daylight, that Ferdinand
street intersected the cotton yard at a point
where the wall fell, and lienee the progress of
the tire was cutoff from the eottonin the yards
between that street and the river.
\Ye learn the property was insured in three
different insurance offices—in the t’rescent,
Merchants’ and in another office, the name of
which our reporter could not ascertain.
Strong censure falls on the Water Works Com
pany in this, as in other cases similar, where
property could have been saved if there was
only a proper supply of water. —V. //. Tno

Destruction of Steamboats at St. Louis.
IT,.m tin- St. Louis Democrat of Ki t,. 27.
Another great disaster has befallen our
city. The long dreaded event of the breaking
up of the ice, which for two months gorged the
Mississippi and all its tributary streams, has
come at last, and brought with it a destruction
i of our mnririe interests far transcending nny
-1 thing that was anticipated.
Twenty hours since our levee was crowded
with steamers —now nota perfect hull remains.
All liuve been swept down that lay opposite
the central part of the city, crushed into a
common ruin hy the overwhelming masses of
\ accumulated ice. broken cables, chains with
’ their links drawn to threads, n few shattered
spars alone remain to tell the story of stately
I vessels that were justly esteemed the pride of
the Western waters.
At a few moments after two o’clock yester-
I day the alarm was given that the gorge has
I commenced to break, and slowly, at first, and
majestically the floating field began to move;
then gathering force and rushing in upon the
boats, it iified some out upon the banks, while
thirteen others were carried below and strand
ed upon the liars, where they were rapidly cut
into ribands. A few of them that drifted
into the bend of the river, although strained
in every timber, fortunately escaped further
damage.
For some time the ice continued to flout off,
but after a few hours it again gorged, caused
additional destruction to those steamers that
still lay at the shore. Anxious suspense then
ensued. The Mississippi was rising rapidly,
and it was well known that the next break-up
would be even more terrific ban the prece
ding one.
At a quarter before eight the tolling of the
bells and the confused shouts that burst upon
the stillness of the night told that the ice was
again in motion. Ten vessels, including
amongst them two wharf boats that had been
sheltered from the first violence, were torn
from their fastenings, hurled one upon another,
and sent crashing and drifting along the front
of the levee.
The scene was truly appaliug to those who
wereqmerely spectators, while the heroic ex
ertions of the commanders and officers who
stood to their decks amid the falling of timbers
and the sinking of vessels, doing all that men
Could do to save them, was a thrillidg exhibi
tion of most true courage in the moment of
extreme peril.
A dark night and a beating rain that ensued
added dismalness and dreariness to the occa
sion, and left those who might struggle with
the elements almost a hopeless task before
them.
The additional boats that were thus wrested
from the shore, and jammed amid the heaped
up flakes that hurried them along, met a like
fate with the steamers that had been carried
oil’ in the afternoon.
Frequently as St. Louis has experienced
great reverses of fortune, by tire and flood and
pestilence, and marvelous as lias been its rise
after each reverse, we must yet consider this
as one of the most disastrous that has befallen
it. All the business interests of the city were
looking forward to the opening of navigation
with a confidence and cheer rarely felt before :
and now, just at the moment when all of our
rivers would have been covered with merchan
dise, a large part of the vessels that were to
have freighted it have been blotted out in a
single day. To our insurance companies also
the disaster will prove a heavy blow and de
tract much from their means, although we do
not fear that it will impair their credit. The
losses will be very large, but what they will
amount to in the aggregate, or upon whom
they will fall, cannot yet be ascertained.
The Philosophy of Rain.
To understand the philosophy of this beau
tiful ami often sublime phenomenon, so often
witnessed since tho creation of the world, and
so essential to the very existenccof plants and
animals, a few facts derived from observation
and a long train of experiments, must be re
membered :
1. Were the atmosphere everywhere at all
times of a uniform temperature, we should
never have rain or hail or snow. The water
absorbed by it in evaporation from the sea and
the earth's surface would descend in an imper
ceptible vapor, or cease to be absorbed by the
air when it was once fully saturated.
2. The absorbing power of the atmosphere,
and consequently its capacity to retain humid
ity, is proportionately greater in warm than
cold air.
The air near the surface of the earth is
warmer than it is in the region of the clouds.
The higher we ascend from the earth the colder
do we find the atmosphere, lleucc the per
petual siioav on very high mountains in the
hottest climates.
Now, when from continued evaporation the
air is highly saturated with vapor, though it
be invisible and the sky cloudless, if its tem
perature is suddenly reduced by cold currents
descending from a higher to a lower latitude,
its capacity to retain moisture is diminished,
clouds are formed and the result is rain. It
condenses, it cools, and like a sponge filled
with water and compressed, pours out the
water its diminished capacity cannot hold.—
How singular, but how simple the philosophy
of rain. What but Omniscience could have
devised such an admirable arrangement for
watering the earth?
Lead in Alabama.
Quite important discoveries of lead ore have
been made in Coosa county, Alabama. A spe
cimen, taken from a pit on the top of a vein,
fifteen or twenty feet below the surface, con
tains not only lead, but gold and silver. Black,
red and grey copper is also found in that vi
cinity.
A specimen has been submitted to Mr. Rid
dell. Professor of Chemistry in the University
ot Louisiana, to be assayed, and the result of
his analysis is as follows : the proportions of
the mass are such that 2,000 lbs. of the lead
yields silver to the value of $37.08, and gold
to the value of s3ii.B2. Now, admitting the
2000 pounds to be worth, for thelead alone, at
7 cents per pound, we have $l4O, which, ad
ded to $73, the value of the gold and silver,
| makes the worth of the mass $213.
The section in which these minerals have
been discovered, is one which has received lit
: tie ttention from the settler, and none from
! scientific men. The vein from which speci
mens have been taken runs under a ridge about
a mile from the Coosa river. The deposites
are now undergoing an examination under the
superintendence of Professor Vansant, whose
explorations thus far have not extended to the
lower strata: nor has the bed of the river
been explored. These discoveries deserve the
attention of scientific men, and especially those
ot Alabama, to which State the presence of
such mineral matteriu her territory, would to be
incalculable importance. —Charlatan Standard}
Very Unfortunate.
A personal collision occurred yesterday af
ternoon, ou Commerce street, between Gen. J.
1L Clanton and Mr. Elsbcrry, of the firm of
tiivcn & Elsberry, in which the latter was
wounded by a pistol ball in the thigh. We
do not know the particulars, and only express
our deep regret at the occurrence. Mr. E’s

The Paris Press and the United States.
The Paris Constitutiounel, in an article upon
the differences between England and the Uni
ted States, signed by the principal editor, —
the usual form, when it is wished to be under
stood that the publication lias a semi-official
character, —says:
“If the United States are determined to be
warlike, they will find that not only England,
but France also, will be opposed to them.—
The Cabinets of Europe can never view with
indifference the danger with which the Ameri
can Government threatened the independence
of the weak powers and the peace of all the
world. It is in vain for the United States to
imagine that America belongs to them exclu
sively, and that Europe has no business what
ever to intermeddle in the affairs of the Amer
ican Continent. The doctrine, proclaimed and
accepted by some of their statesmen, is utter
ly untenable. The affairs of America are the
affairs of tho whole world;—of England, of
France, of Spain, of Holland, —because the.
have both commercial and political interests to
defend, numerous Colonics to protect, a direct
and indisputable right of interference.
* * * * The Anglo French
alliance will survive the war in the Crimea.—
The United States ought to know this, and be
more modest, or at least more moderate in
their hearing towards England and the rest of
Europe.
_—
The Allies at Kertch—European Civiliza
tion.
A correspondent of a New York journal con
firms all the previous accounts of the horrible
atrocities perpetrated by the allies at Kertch.
The place visited with these unspeakable hor
rors was a peaceable and inoffensive town,
whoso inhabitants had taken no part in the
war. Not only was the property of these un
offending people destroyed, but their wives
and daughters, without au exception, fell vic
tims to n fate worse than death. It is said
that not a woman in the town escaped, and
that they were not only violated, but dragged
from their once happy homes and compelled
to accompany the monsters of the English and
French army to Constantinople. Comfortable,
refined and happy homes were thus desolated
forever, and, in some instances, the wretched
victims, having been deprived of tlicir honor,
were also deprived of their lives. Si ilar
scenes occurred at Bomersund. Yet the
wretches capable of such crimes, talk of them
selves as the champions of civilization, whilst
Russia is so hopelessly barbarous that she
must be exterminated 1 if she is barbarous,
she Inis committed no such offences as these,
and, at all events, lias never added to the mis
fortune of barbarism the crime of hypocrisy.
A Rival of William Tell.
The following instance of daring sport is re
lated in the Albany Transcript:
The feat performed by Tell, in shooting an
apple off the head of his son, has been told over
and over a ain, and is as familiar as house
hold words, was a wonderful piece of execu
tion, close calculation and great daring. Some
thing similar was attempted and successfully
performed in the village of l’ittstown, Rens
j sclacr county, about a week since. The cir
-1 cumstance was related to us as follows :
There had been a turkey shoot at which sev
eral “crck shots” had assisted after; the shoot
was over the crowd adjourned to the tavern;
numerous drinks were called for and put out
of sight, and the party, somewhat elated, com
menced talking about William Toll, when one
of the party, by name of Horace H. Wads
worth, remarked that he was as good a shot as
Tell was, and, said he, “ find me a man and
I’ll prove it,” whereupon Alonzo Gorgan step
ped forward and sai , “I’m tl.e man for you
to practice upon.” “Very well,” said W.,
“get an apple and I’ll try.” Search was made
for an apple, but not finding one readily a po
tato was substituted, and the crowd adjourned
from the bar-room to the yard adjoining the
barn.
“ Measure off twenty paces,” said Wads
worth.
The distance was paced. Gorgan took his
place with his cap off and potatoe on his head,
when Wadswortli deliberately raised his rifle,
drew a fine shot on the potato, and discharged
his piece at arms length ! No one expected that
he would do it, and for a moment consternation
was depicted on the countenances of all the by
standers, until Gorgan, putting his hand on his
head, said in an agonizing tone “Am I dead ?
Is there any blood ?”
It was found that Gorgan was not de and, but
that the potato had been cut in twain and that
no bloodjhad been drawn, though aridge about
the size of a person’s finger had been raised
on the top of his head by the force of the ball.
Gorgan who did not think that Wadsworth
would fire, was seriously alarmed for a few
minutes afterward, as he believed that his
skull was split. He says that if any smart
shots want to practice shooting petatos off a
person's head, they must find some onebesides
him to be their target.
Birth Extraordinary.
The last number of the Herald, published
at t’amdeu, Arkansas, contains the following:
A few days since a negro woman, belonging
to Col. John Dockery, the worthy President of
our railroad, was delivered of four children at
one birth—three girls and one boy : their av
erage weight is seven pounds each. When
last heard from, the mother and her little dar
kies wore doing well. The Colonel has named
the children after his favorite enterprise
Mississippi, Ounchita and Ited River Railroad,
giving the girls the names of the three rivers,
and calling the boy Railroad.
