AAVFUL . CALAMITY. We stop the press to insert the following account of one of the most distressing and dreadful accidents it has ever been our duty to record. It has just reached us hy the Kirer, and is confirmed in all the papers received from the East : . BURSTING OF THE BIG GUN ON BOARD THE STEAMSHIP PRINCETON AND THE DEATH OF THE Hon, Gov. GILMER, Hon. JUDGE UPSHUR, Hon VIRGIL MAXCY, Com. KENNON, . Col. GARDINER, and several others. - We received at one o'clock this morning by extraordinary and special express, exclu sivelv for the Baltimore Sun, the following letter from our Washington correspondent, which contains the most awful news it has ev er been our lot to record. We have no heart to say one word, except to state that the melancholy facts may be relied on. Corres pondence of the Baltimore Sun . .Washington City, t. Wednesday night, 8 o'clock. ' The District of Columbia is, this night, one unbroken scene of sorrow and dismay. Death wtrtil3 sable wings, agiin hovers over us."Great God! What shadows we are and what shadows we pursue." This morning, a large party of ladies and pentlemen, amongst whom were the rresi dent of the United States and family; mem bers of Congress, and several distinguished centlemen from various States of the Union proceeded on board the Princeton, cap tain Stockton, down the river oa an excur sion. Every thing passed oil delightfully until, on' the return of the vessel, when nWnst of Alexandria, wfien a salute v3s about to be fired. Tha word was given an unusal sound was heardthe big gun imrsted into atoms, and my trembling pen can scarce record the fact that the Hon. Gov. GILMER, Hon. Judge UPSIIUR,Com. KENNON, Col. GARDINER, of N. York, and lion, VIRGIL MAXCY, of Maryland, WERE INSTANTLY KILLED'.! Several sailors, report says five, were also Llown to atoms!! Col. Benton is slightly wounded, and Capt. Stockton severely. The Ion. J. W. Tyson, 2d assistant P. M. Gc'nerl, had his hat cut and a piece of the gun,iboutsix inches in length, quietly rested on the top of his head. , The Hon. Mr. WicMiffe bad started to go on deck with Judge Upshur, when sum one below called detained liiui for a second, and therby savpd his liie. The Secretary of War, to avoid the crack of the gun, advised the President to go below, where they were sitting when the calamity happened. The legs of Messrs. Upshur and Gilmer are shockingly mutilated. Captain Stockton, as soon as the shock overwhelmed bim caueht his chin then clapped his hand op each side of his face"and was in the act of leaping overboard when he was ca tight by the Hon. J-W.Tyson. These facts may be relied upon as I have ob tained them from gentlemen who were on Hoard were eye-witnesses of the scene, ana were the first to remove the dead bodies who rWi learn by the eastern papers of the! d.uth of theifon. Nicholas Bidiu.e. THE WESTERN STATESMAN. The following eulogium (says the Philadelphia Forum) was pronounced by the Reverend Mr. Capers, before the Whig Convention,of Alabama,last year,and wejnred scarcey.add, that it filledjevery bosom with the Ike of patriotism, and nerved every heart with liie resolution to do its best. As. there are doubtless mady of our readers who do not know Mr. Capers, we will state for their information, that he is ono of the oldest and ablest of the preachers belonging to the Methodist Episcopal Churchancl that ha is one of the most eloqueat of men, is attested by the lollowing truthful eulogium upon J HENRY CLAY. "I have insinuated, sir, that the temple of liberty has been shaken to its very base, by the genius of this thing called democracy. And who doubts it? Who has forgotten the scenes of 1?31 2, when thr sound of ihe drum was heard in Carolina, her plains covered with the armies of Andrew the Great, and her coast lined with his frigates of war. What.patrioi heart beat not with painful anx iety, when thejssue was suspended on an appeal to Congress? The appeal was made it was rejected the genius of democracy reigned in the temple of liberty, and in stead of an armistice, the Blood Force Bill passed. The tocsin of war sounded through out the capitol, and the armies of Govern ment were commanded to bow 'the traitors' or exterminate them from the homes of their fathers. Sir, it was an eventful hour the old lion of democracy bowling for the blood of freemen's sons and the goddess of Lib erty weeping over the scene ! It was indeed an eventful hour one fell blow, and a conflic I ensues which dissolves lh Union, and spreads death and destruction throughout the land. In the eventful moment, the visaage of the care-worn majestic being appeared on whose brow seemed to be suspended the ponderous weight of liberty and the Union when lo! a voice as from the ghost of Washington exclaimed "SAVE THE UNION'. 'TWAS PURCHASED WITH THE TEARS AND BLOOD, OF YOUR FATHERS?" "Twas CLAY, sir, that matchless statesmau. Clay, bearing in one hand the olive branch of peace; and in the other the sword of truth and of liberty, he fproached the altar concentrated to liberty

-there he laid his offering, and there, with

that burning, impassioned eloquence, congenial with his exalted nature in the name of liberty, and in the name of blood-stained spirits who purchased it, be bade the daring sons' of democracy sheath their swords and not wreak them in blood of their brothers. His mandates were obeyed; the old Lion of Democracy crouched in his liar peace was restored, and theUAVu saved. ".Mr. President, my heart recurs to the scenes of that eventful hour with- emotions ttntlerabie,and when it shall cease to beat with tiic warmest pulsations of moral approbation for the matchless actor in that great drama of my country's liberty, let me receive die execrations of my country, and the curse of my country's God. I said it then, sir, and I say it now, fearless of contradiction, that such an instance of the power mind over the daringpa3sions of despotism was u ever before exhibited to the world. The edict was pass ed the bloody warrant signed the old lion of democracy grasped it in his paw but one stroke of that overpowering eloquence before which kings tremble and despots bow, mnde the hero ot Iew Orleans ql 'Ke on his throne, and restore to the pollutteuT altar of liberty, the bloCd-stained edict which he had seized with delight. I repeat it sir, such an instance of the power pt mind over the daring- passions of despotisur had never before been exhibited to the world. There was a wreath of civic renown a halo of immortal glory around the brow of Henry Clay in that hour which presents him in bold relief as the greatest orator, the purest patriot, and the most magnanimous states man in the universe. Talk of Calhoun, sir as the great Hercules of mind and spiritgreat indeed arc the powers of IIcrcules,but reat as Herculea is, the lion of democracy had him bound in cords of hemp; and whet ting his bloody fangs, he was ready to tear the Herculean giant 'Into a thousand atoms. Talk of Webster as the great master spir it of the age great indeed is Webster but Webster was there, sir, and great as hei is, he had not the heart to approach the open jaws and bloody fangs of the howling lion, and bid him stay his wrath. 'Twas reseivedfor the noble daring of Clay to do the deed, and it was done." PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRACY. The Cincinnati Enquirer published a communication sometime ago, which occupied the true ground with reference to Locofocoiin. The writer slated distinctly, that the I.ioco&co party was a party of progress, by which he meant it was continually changing its opinions to suit the advances of enlightenment, lie s?.ii! a m;m who was a genuine Democrat twenty-five years ago, is not a Democrat now, if he maintains the opinions lie formerly cheiishe'd. lie adverted iu a striking manner to the changes which have occurred in the views of the party since the election of General Jackson to the Presi dency, and maintained, with great truth, that as these changes Jiave taken place wilh'ihe majority of the party, an original admirer of General Jackson, who held his old opinions, is not a Democrat of this day. All the world knows all this to be true; but all the world was astonished at the candor of a "Democrat" in making such a con fession. The AVhio; papers are using the confession very effectively, and Mr. Brough, the editor of the Enquirer, the paper in which the article referred to originally appeared, has been impelled by his fears to come out and state that the views of the wri ter are the views of "one man." Well now, as Brough and the Locofocos are anxious to avoid the charge brought against the party, we think the best thing they can do, to prove their sincerity, is lo advocate the doctrines maintained by the Jackson party du ring the first term of the General. It they do this, they must advocate the protective sys tem, and the distribution of the proceeds of the public lands, so often and so ably recommended by GeneralJackson in his messages to Congress. Will the Enquirer say that these measures were not advocated by the Jackson party years ago? If it does, we can give quires of quotations in evidence of the fact. It now denounces these and other J acksonian measures, and yet is not willing to endorse the statement of its corres pondent. What egregious inconsistency. Lou. Jour. The Globe says Mr. Van Buren would despise the Presidency if hs were sung into it. We suppose the party intends by this to try to cry him into it, and this supposition is streuthened by the increased length of their faces since they have received the news of the result of the Maryland elections. """ Quick Thought The . Edinburgh Courani says that an Irishman Iiaviny accidentally broken pane a of gluad in a window of a house in Queen street, was making the best of his way to get out of sight as well as out of mind; but, unfortunately tor Fat, the proprietor stole a march on him, and having seized him by the collar, exclaimed ' You broke my window fellow did you not?' To be sure I did,' said Pat, 'and don you see me running home for money to pay fot it.'

Ttri Birth Day of IIaeriso.--A few days since the birth-day of the lamented and slandered veteran of North Bend passed by us in the "flight ofyears." It was the birthday of him who received his life from a revolutionary father, his commission from the founder of the Republic and credentials of ofiice and of honor which were never sullied in his keeping from the pure men who, successively, from the father of his country,

ennobled the presidential chair. The hon est and wise officer, the, brave, skillful and humane general, the kind-hearted and public spirited citizen, the christian man, the good president." Full of honors, full of - i ii. years, ins momory saining, as iub tuu, over the clouds of dark detraction which,but in vain, sought to obscure its lustre, he has passed away with' Washington and his virtuous associates, and his memory is enshrined with theirs. He has left us his example, his great deads and hia dying injunction "I wish you" to understand the true principles of the government. I wish them carried out. I ask nothing more T' And were those principles, thus solemnly enjoined, the cherished aims of the leaders against whom he stood;( opposed ? by whom the whole artillery of falsehood and cruel slander was hurled at his aged head, and over whom a virtuous people enabled him to triumph? Yes, he has gone, but one whom he loved, nay (to use his own word,) "idolized." still lives to carry out his dying bequest "Lo the Chieftain is gone from the scene, of his fame. But the halo of ages shall gather around ij ; For his sword waived in Justice and Liberty's name. And Liberty's hand with her myrtle hascrown- . edit. He lias mounted on high to the patriot's sky." While his country was last in his heart and his sigh, '' But joy! tho' the hero litis gone to his rest, ' ILs mastle is left to the Hope of ths West.'' v Whig Rifle. . THE HOB NAIL PARTY!! The "hard cider" sneers of IS 10 are revived again, by "ail the decency" and all the "democracy." The aristocratic hearts of the leaders of the self-styled democracy will ever and anon, in an unguarded moment display the hidden purposes of their souls. Secretly they despise the common habits and common customs of the people. Too arrogant to brook the pretensions of an old soldier whose chiefvice was, that having honestlypaid his debts, he preferred hard cider to the costly foreign wines of Mr. Van Buren, they hissed on their scribblers to ridicule his poverty. And terribly was their lordly assump tion rebuked by the people. More fond of foreign broad-cloths and beavers than of the homely manufacture of domestic artisans, they cry loudly against protection and ridicule home leegues of our own people, who, in the true spirit, resolve to clothe' themselves and their families in rude jeans. And now, at the onset of the present campaign, a similar thrust is made through their organs upon the plain habits of a freo and frugal people. The lGih of January Convention was not a convocation of aristocrats. It assembled men most of whom wore homespun clothes, and who were guilty of the horrible sin of carrying mud upon their boots and of wearing hob-nails. Ant th:s, it seems, is a grave of fence to the selfish leaders of the opposition party, if we may judge from the lollowing paragraph, extracted from their leading organ, the State Sentinel, and published shortly after the adjournment of the Convention, h reads thus: "The condition of the State House after the Federal Whigs had got through their Convention, plainly shows the state they must have been in. . Not only the desks and fa ble.:, but railings and window seats, and eve ry place whicli these Whigs could mount to make themselves conspicuous, are ground off and indented - with ihe HOB-NAILS ND MUD with which THEY WERE SHOD." The hob-nail and mud party, is now the "democratic" substitute for the "Hard Cider" Party of ISiO! well, we assure these lofiy leaders now that if the hard cider of the venerable and reviled Harrison soured upon their tender stomachs in 1840, that, in November next, they will b doomed to witness the hob:nails and mud of the people grinding forever In the dust all their selfish plans and heartless policies! And that many an humble, but honest artisan and farmer, though clad in woolsey and and wearing muddy boots and hob-nails, will be found grasping the hand and rejoicing over the inauguration of Henry Clay. Whig Rifle. Fashionable Music. "What's "that? It's music. Well that's artificial too, it's scientific they say, it's done by rule. Just look at the gal to the piauy; first comes a little Garman tunder. Good airth and seat, what a crash ! it seems as if she'd bang the instru ment all to a thousand pieces. I gues she's vexed at somebody and is pegm' it into the piany out of spite. Now comes the singing see what faces she makes, how she stretches her mouth open, like a barn door and turns up the white of her eyes like a duck:-: than' der. She is in a musical ecstacv is flint pal. she feels good all over, her soul isgoin out along with that ere music. Oh it's divine, and she is an angel, ain't she? Yes I guess she is, and when I m an aigel, I will fall in love with her; but as I'm a man, at least what's left me, I'd just as soon fall in love with one that was a leelle more of a woman and a leetlc,jista leelle less of an anel. 13ut hallo? what onuer the sun is she about, why her voice is goin' down her own throat, to gain strengiti, aim nere it comes out again as deeploned as a man's; while thnt dandy feller along side of her, is singin' what they calHallsetter. They've actually change"d voices. 1 lie gall sings like a man, mid ihe screamer like a woman. This issciencef but hang mo if it's uatur." Sam Slick.

Of-On the 27lh ult. there wrs an election

held in New Orleans to fill a vacancy occasioned by the death of a State Senator. The Locofoco candidate was elected, ailheugh the Whig vote was ns large us that of 1840. The Tropic of the 23th says: "We were unable, yesten'ay, to obtin complete returns from all the Municipalities, and hene we are induced lo defer liie utterance of the reflections which the unexpected result of Monday so nmuroliy awaken. We are happy to say, however, that so fur as our observation extends, the good old whig spirit is unbroken. Our friends stand firm there is no quailing, 110 desponding. . The universal sentiment is thai uttered by the gullant Lawrence u hen sinking in the embrace of death "Dox't givk up hie ship. Though beaten by fraud, we are not dismayed and if the locotocos calculate upon an easy triumph in future, ihey ure sadly deluded. We are not short of one ioto of our mi ength,(iud when the day of battle again approaches, we shall be found marshalled in solid phalanx with hearts as tirui and arms as strong as 111 days past. L,ven nnv i 11 the moment of defeat, wum we have just been borne down by host of illegal voters, our columns are unshaken. T'.ie vote given to Mr. Roselieus, on Monday, is nearly as large as liia 1 given to our ticket 111 November. 1U4U, and vet we ore beaten by over 400 majority! Can any man believe such a result has bsen honestly achieved? We do not! The Seat of Love Changed. That droll genius, Dr. Valentine, insists upon it that love lies not in the heart but the hell. If this be true, Major Noah thinks that the negroes must be the most loving nnd efToctionate people in the world If the size of the heel is any indication, love, 'slicks out a feet,' as we say in the classics.

A family 011 Wednesday evening, 17th, caught a rogue in house, and -threatening (o give hint tip to the watch, if he resisted, took him to the. outer pore and extending his limbs in the slupe of a cruci fix, they nailed his clothing last to the house taking care 10 drive several1 ol large size through his cowhide boots into the floor.

Cheap Boarding. The N. O. Picayune tells a story ol a man who inquired the terms at a cheap boarding house iu that rare city. "What do your charge a week,!"-said the man. 'For board without lodging ?' inquired the landlady. 4 'Yes, madam.' 'Three meals a day, sir! 'Yes, madam.' 'Fifty cents per week is our regular price, sir,' 'Well; that's cheap enough ut all evems.-Do you give your boarders much ol a variety ." 'Yes, sir. something of a variety we give them dried apples for breaklast, warm water lordinner, and let'em smell tor surreal' The story, it seems to us, would make a very "Ood JIEAL-O-PRAMA. Congressional Statistics. A down Eastman a relative, no doubt of Major Jack 'Downing or Sam Slick, in writing to his Iriend ot the INew Oileans Republican, gives the following unique division ol ihe House of Representatives: Members talkin sassy, - " tryin' to skrer lolks, 3 Wiiiiteu to know whether the hon. gentleman meant what he said, 2 ' callin' to order, 64 " wouldn't come lo order, 51 " liollerin' out 'set down', 22 " wantin' to come a ftrong game over the rulers of the House, 37 ' Couldn't come it, no how, 35 FEMALE BEAUTY. To sum the whole ; the charms that are really ;ndispensable to being beloved, and may be possessed by every one, ho is not perioiially,or mentally, or morally deformed. Let us enumer ate them : 1. An eye, whether black, blue, ar cray that has the spirit of kindness in its expression. 2. A mouth that is able to say a good deal, and that sincerely. Its teeth kept as clean as poesi ble ; m ust be very good na tured to servants and friends that come unexpectedly to .dinner. 3. A figure that shall preserve itself, not by neglecting any of its d utics, but by good taste, exercise, and a dislike o f gross living. 4. The art of being happy at home, and making that home the abode of peace. Where can peace dwelt, if there be no piety ! These qualifications will sway the soul of man, when the shallower perfections enumerated in this article would cease to charm. "A good heart is the true beautitier. 'I told you so." "Wile! wife! our cow's dead choked with a turnip !" I told you so. I always know'd she'd choke hcself with them turnips.' 'But it was a pumpkin a dariird big one.' 'Wal, its all the same. I know'd all along how it would be. Nobody but a nir.ny, I'tko you, would feed a cow on pumpkins that wasn't chopt.' The pumkins was chopt. And 'twan't the pumpkins neither, what choked her. ' Twas the tray the end on't is sticking out of her mouth now.' - 'Uh! Ugh! There goes my bread tray. No longer ago than yesterday, 1 told 0U the COW would swallow that tray.' Sublime. An out west editor, in a "leader" on the momentous subject of civilization, per petrates the follow 'ma: "The march of civiliza tion is onward, onward, like the slow but intre pid tread ol a jackass towaj-da a peck of oats."
