DISTRESSING CALAMITY!
Loss or 't'iii-: STEAM]-ZR Li-:xtNG'roN.—Nev-
er in the history of steamboats, has this com-
munity been thrown into such a state of excite-
tiient and gloom, as that produced by the inel-
anclioly disaster that befel this boat on the oven-
The
amount of suffering and loss oflifc. are truly
appalling. and the sum ofintense and bitter an
guish which this accident will bring ttpon the
various circles of the friends and relatives of
the lost, is almost beyond the narrow limit of
human conception.
The ill—fated boat in question left New York
for Stouington. at 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
having. as near as can be estimated. about 150
passengers on board, and a full freight, consist-
ing mostly of cotton. At about 7 o'clock a fire
was discovered near the lines, the wood work
taking first. it was soon commutiicated to the
cotton. Ifat this time exertion had been made
_ with buckets. it is thought that the flames might
have been extinguished. but unfortunately, at-
tention was tttrned to the engine and hose, and
thus the important tnomeiit was lost. The
flame extending so rapidly, and all effort prov-
ing unavailing, the confusion and alarm became
general. The only prospect of relief seemed to
be in running the boat on shore, and the nearest
beingthat of Long Island.she wasimrnediately
headed in that direction; bttt here the sulierers
were again doomed to disappointment, as the
burning of the tiller ropes rendered the boat on-
managable. The engine, however, continued in
motion until the boat was supposed to be within
two miles of the land. It was while she
was yet under way that the boats were resorted
to. but alas. hurry and cotifusion rendered this
of relief as unavailing asevery other had
been. In their eagerness for safety the passen-
gers rushed into them in such numbers that
they no sooner touched the water ‘than they

ing in contact with the wheel. For some rea-
son that has not yet transpired, the engine now
ceased its motion and the unhappy sufferers
were now cut off from every prospect of escape
except the uncertain one of reaching the shore
on bales of cotton and other articles of freight.
that were thought sufficiently buoyant to sustain
them. Among the number who had recourse
to this expedient, was Capt. Hilliard, of the
New Orleans packet Mississippi, and belong-
ing to Norwich, in this state, who with another
passenger whose name is said to be Cox. bestrid -
ed a bale of cotton. They continued in this sit-
uation until 6 o'clock the next morning, when
Cox's strength failed. and after informing Capt.
H. ofthe residence of his family, the unhappy
man fell from the bale and was seen no more.

THE l\IAri.s.—Amos Kendall has written a
letter to the Postmaster in Baltimo're.justifying
his sending an agent and ti trtiiik of letters by
the Railroad. and contentls that as a passenger
with his baggage, he hasa right so to travel,and
to pay no more than the usual fare. and that no
one has a right to search his baggage or molest
him.
It is both a fraud and a violation of the law.
Congress makes appropriations to pay for trans-
Duringtliis time they saw the wreck. which had
been left by the devouring flames, go down.
The stengtb of Captain Hilliard held ottt until
he was picked up by the slcop'Merchant from
Soutliport, after an exposure of 15 hours.-—
When he left the baat, the companions of his af
fliction. such as vet remained alive, were cling-
ing to the guards and braces as a temporary se-
curity from the intensity of the heat and a cold
and watery grave. Capt. Matichesterthe pilot.
and the fireman were also picked up by the
Merchant. The bodies of two others who hail
yielded to their sufferings were also taken from
a portion ofthe wreck. -
The scene as described by Capt. H. to the
editors of the Farmer. was awful. The fire
having occurred midway of the boat, all com-
munication was cutoff between the bow and
stem. The passengers. according to this state-
ment. crowded together at either end of the boat,
moaning and oewailing their fate till compelled
to cast themselves into the deep to escape the
flames.
Much censure is thrown upon the the ofiicers
of the Lexington for slowing the cotton where it
was so liable to take fire. and where. on a pre-
vious passage it did take fire. Other charges
against the proprietors, such as the boat hav-
ing been condemned. are also made. but which
could not have had any agency in producing
this distressing calamity.
Since writing the foregoing, we have receiv-
ed the N. Y. Whig, which states on the author-
‘ ity ofa gentleman who professes to have been
wel acquainted with all the arrangements on
board the Lexington. that she had, as the law
,'-requires. iron rods and chain tiller-ropes-—and
~ ‘that the boat lost her helm, because the fire
having reached the p‘ilol-house, rendered it im-
possible for the pilot to remain at the wheel. ‘
The following is a list of the passengers, so
" far as the names are known:
UfNcw York.——'H C Craig. firm of Maitlaud.'
l Kennedy 6: Co; R W‘ Dow, firm of Dow 5:.
‘Co; Stephen Waterbury. J r firm of Waterbury
&..Mead; Mr Lawrence. firm of Kelly or. Law-
, ‘reacts; Charles Noyes, clerk of Charles B Bab-
}-coclr‘ 65 Co; Mrs Russell Jarvis. and two child-
porting the mail; antl if the mail is thus siting-
glcd without paying for its transportation. a
fraud is committed on the owners of the Rail-
road. The law requires that those who carry
the mail shall be sworn ofiicers} this is evaded
by sendiogthe mail as baggage in a trunk. If
it be true that a passenger has a right to carry
his own baggage. he has no right to carry the
baggage of another person. Altogether the
scheme is a bad one, a tricky one, and; t_li‘e\,peo-
ple will not allow it to be carried itito effect.
NIICHIGAN.-—\Ve learn frorri the Journal of
Commerce, that the Michigan Legislature as-
sembled at Detroit on the 6th inst. and ihat ex"-
Governor Mason made a great c'l‘Ii)rt to force his
message upon the Senate and House; but it was
resisted by both branches, and in the Senate was
laid upon the :able withottt reading. In the
House no notice was taken of it. The reason
of this strange reception may be fottnd in the
following statement, made in a convention of
both branches ofthe Legislature, which assem-
bled tocanvassthe votes forGovernor and Lieut.
Governor. Official returns show the whole
number of votes to be 36.859- For VVood-

Tnat Dr. Troop his lnt‘.LlC ati important dis-
covrry in the science of nicdicitic and thcpliys-
iolocy ofthe l:timan system. of morcimportauce
to the well-being and health of the great httrnaii
f:iniil_v,tli:zn all that has heretofore been known,
cannot. be doubtcil by the most sceptical.
I shall now proce:-d lostalcin what my theory
rid important discovery consists. and I fiitter
mysclfthal I shall be able to make it clear that
this new doctrine is true, the theory based on
pliysiological principlcs, and in perfect accord
truce with nature's laws. Bcforc, liowtevcr.doing
this. I wish to txplaiti one word which I shall
ll:l\‘f! occasion to make frequent use of viz:
Secretion. By secretion. 1 mean that part of
the animttl economy which separates the fluids
of the body, as for ex:imple—tbe bile or gall is
it llnid, lllltl is :1 Secretion ofthe Liver.
Now the doctrine l hold,nud am able to defend
as the only trtic one, is tliis—tli-at all diseases
have their ori;_rin in a suppr-« ssed. impcrfcct, or
de3:rat-‘ed secretion of various organs, for exam-
)lt_‘-—Il person from cxposttre to cold. or any
other cause, his the secretion of the skin, or

docs it not produce fever pains in the head,
limbs, «.\".c. Now if this natural secretion or
I . . . . . ,
perspiration is restored, does it not give imme-
diate relief to the p.:ticnt? Every body answers

what passes the bowels and in what is tlirowu
tip? The moment. the liver can be made to se-
cretebile and it passes into the stomach and bow-
els, the vomiting and -purging ceases, and the
patient is safe. Take a case of Yellow Fever,
is not the black vomit. adepruvcd secretion? and
unless that secretion is checked and changed. the
patient dies within a few hours; but iftlie secre-
tion is changed to a healthy one, a. recovery is
certtiti.
What do we observe in Group? Is there not
a formation of a inciubraiie in the wind pipc,
produced by an unnatural secretion. which
l.lll"‘Zl.l2(-‘XIS the little sufferer with instant death,
unless this secretion and formation be imme-
diatcly checked! BIJSE certainly.
Take a cue of fever. what do we observe?
do we not find the skin dry-and hot, also the
palms of the bands and so'es of the feet? Most
certainly. The fever is not the cause of this
heat, but because the secretion of the skin is
checked, the fever is ‘the consequence. Nobody
ever knew the skin to'be hot when it was moist,
or when the secretion was perfect. lnfevemve
find the mouth and tongue dry. and great. thirst.
1/Vl)'lt is the cause of this? According to my
tlieory, I say that the small glands in the mouth
and tbroatdonot perform tlicii-natural secretion,
and that; is the reason of so much thirst and
dryness of the motiih. In fever. there is oft.en
constipation, and the passages are bl:tck.grcen,
or otherwise; does this not show that the secre-
tion of the liver and other organs is imperfect
or dcficcnt. My pills vvil rctnove tltcheat of
the skin, by opening its secretion. They will
remove the thirst. and dryness of the month by
restoring the secretion of the glands, and in the
Sillnt} manner all the other functions.
VVe think the cascswe have taken to illtJs‘t'at0
this doctrine, fully provc ittrtte. We miglitgo
on with every disease in the whole catalogue of
human infirtnities, and the proofofour doctrine
would be equally clear. but we think it unneces-
sary to do so, especially as our limits are con-
fined to a suizill wrapper round the box.
Dr. Troop being convinced by the most pro-
found research, study and experience, that all
diseases have their origin in 8. suppressed,_0r
tlcpraved secretion, the next thing wa.s to dis-
cover a combination of retncdial agents that
would act upon any one, or all ofthe secretions,
and restore the various organs to their hea.lt.hy
action. , _
Believing the doctrine or theory illustrated
above, to be the doctrine of nature, and in the
OF ALL KINDS.

most perfect harmony with naturc’s laws, I felt
lconfident that the Great Giver of all good had
lcreated the necessary rctncdies, but whether ‘I
}was to be the littniblc instrument to discover
tthem, Iknew not. I was resolved to make use
of the reason God had given tire to accomplish
this great object. That I have succeeded, there
is not the lt.‘tt.st doubt. and the Pills I now offer
to this intelligent cozriinunity, possess intrinsic
merit. and have the strong- st. claitns upon your
confidence, because they are founded upon true
principles and a correct knowledge of the cause
of disease. - _
Dr. Troop's Pills cure diseases by regulating
the secretions and promoting a. lie.1lthy action at

all circumstances. and at all ngfs. If taken in

M0F17AT’S LIFE PILLS AND
PHENIX BITTERS.
Those who have perused the letters above re-
fe rredto will observe that in almost every case-.
they attest the fact, that no inconvenience ofany
sot! attends the taking of these inedieines-.in or—'~
tlitiarycases. but that the patierit, witibout feel‘-
ing their operation. is universally left inta=strong-
er and better state of health than was experienced
-previous to being afilicted with disease ;. and in-
"” _"-"555 0‘ 30018 Sufieriug. great relief is obtain-
ed in a few hours and a cure is generally efl'et.-ted‘
in two or three days.
In cases of Fever of every d'escri’pt-ion..and all
billions alfections. it is unnecessary for me to say
miglit. as I believe the Life Medicines are now
universally admitted to be the most speedy and
effectual cure extant in all diseases ofthat class.
The Life Medicines are also most excellent
relic-fin affections of the Liver. and .Bowels. as
has been proved’ in hundrcdi; of cases where pa-
tients have come forward and requested thatttheir
experience in taking them might be published
for the beuefit_of others. In their operation in
such cases. they restore the tone ofthe Stomach.
strengthen the digestrive organs. and invigorate
the general ffincrions of the whole body..a-rid thus
becorrie to both sexes (for they are perfectly a-
dapted to each) an invaluable means of prevent-
ing disease and restoring health.
"In afiections ofthe head. whether accompani-
ed with pain and gieldiness, or marked by the
grievous calamity of impaired menial energy;
in palpitations of the hearrt. flatulence. loss of
appetite and strength. and the miiltiplied symp-
toms of disordered digestion. the Life Medicines
will be foundto possess the most salutary (flit-
cacy. I
Constitutions r-ellaxt-d’. weak, or decayed.’ in
men or wotnen.. are undeit the immediate influ-
ence of the Life Med'ieine9.. Old cotigl‘is;’astb-
mas, and consumptive habits are soon yélievcd
anti speedily cured. Poverty of blood, ti'nd ema-
ciated limbs will ere long meet the’ happiest
chan-ge ;the chill’ watery fluid will become rich
and balsamic. and the l'i-rubs be co.-vetted: with
flesh, firm and healthy.
Nervous disorders of every kind. and from
whatever cause arising. fly before the effects of
the Life Medicines, and all that train of sink-
ings-. anxieties, and tremors which so dreadfully
affect the weak. the sedentary, and the delicate.
will in a short time he succeeded by cheerful-
uess. and every presage of health.
For weakness. deficiency of natural strength,
and relaxation of the vessels. by too frequentin-
dulgcnce of the passions.ibis medicine is a safe,
certain. and invaluable remedy.
Those who have long resided in hotclimatcs,
and are languid and relaxed in their whole sys-
tem, may take the Life Medicines with the hap-
piest t-ffecte; and persons remoting to the south-
ern States or West Indies cannot store a more
important article of health and life.
'l‘he following cases are among the most re-
cent cures effected‘. andgratefully acknowledged
by the persons benefitied:

have. by a judicious use of Mo_fl'at's Life Pills
and P/zenir Bitters, been restored to the enjoy-
mentof all the comforts of life. The Bitter:
are plasant to the taste and smell. gently asiringe
the fibres ofthe stomach, and gives that proper
tensity which a good digestion requires. As no-
thing can be better adapted to help and nourish,
the constitution, so there is‘nothing more gener-
ally acknowledged to be peculiarly efficacious
in all inward wastirigs. loss of appetite, indiges-
tion. depression of spirits, trembling or shaking
ofthe hands and limbs. obstinate coughs, sl,i_ort_-
ness of breath. or consumptive habits.
The Life Medicines possess wonderful eflicacy
in all nervous disorders. fits. headaches, weak-
nesses. ho-avincss and lawness of spirits, dimx
ness of sight. confused thoughts. wandering of
the mind. vapors and melancholy. and all kinds
of hysleric complaints are gradually removed by
their use. In sickness of the stomach. flatulen-
cies, or obstrut:tions.'they are safe and powerful,
