Terrible Steamboat Explosion. —The steamboat Redstone, waa blown to atoms, near Madison on Saturday lost. There were about 70 paasangers on board, including the crew, most ot. whom were killed or horribly mangled.— Her chimneys were blown hairway across the river. All three boilers exploded at the satftc

time, and a large piece of one of them was carried a half mile. Eleven bodies were blown into a com field at some distance from the water. There Were only two ladies on board, and they were saved. We have not room for further particulars of the heart rending scene.

Another fearful Explosion.-^he Steamer Cfiencoe blew up at St. Louis, on Saturday evening. About 160 passengers were on board at the time, a large number of whom were kitted. The boat took Rre and burned to the waters edige. Dreadful Fire. —A most destructive fire occurred at Chillicothe, Ohio, on Thursday fast. One fourth of the town was destroyed, and one fourth of the population are now homeless and houseless. The fire occured by the explosion of a stove in a Cabinet Shop. The stove had been filled with shavings. The wind was Mowing a hurricane. The loss is set down at not less than six hundred thousand dollars' *

Honnio Cascalitv.— ln an experience of twelve years as a public journalist, it has never fallen to our lot to record so painful and heart rending a casualty as occured in this place on Monday evening last, to Mrs. CoccU, wife of Joseph I. Couch, carriage maker of this place. Oir the evening in question. Mrs. C. after having put her children to bed, sat down before the fire in a rocking chair to her work. About 10 1 o’clock some pa ssers-by were attracted by the outcry of the children, and on hastening to the house found the lady lying with her face, one arm and hand, and one side of her bream, foil in i tho fire, literally frying to death, with her clo- 1 thes in a flame, and presenting altogether the most horrid spectacle we ever I beheld. It appears that she was subject to flto, and was taken with one of these, and thrown in the fire. At first it was thought she was dettd, but after the fit passed off she showed symptoms of life and consciousness, and after lingering in most excruciating torture for twenty-four hours was released from her suffering by death, {New Castle Courier

‘T~- * Messrs. Wright end Mttntif oompncad the Canvas* for Governor at mis plate on last: Saturday, to a very good w*ieftce: Gov. Wright | made the opening speech. We beKeve it was the first political speech we ever heard hiq make, and we confesethat we were sorprised.

stitution and his competitor against it aid that was the question for the people of Rush‘bounty to decide upon between him and bis competitor —competitor was a wealthy man and fe was a poor man— he had recommended the present assessement law which had greatly increased his

competitor’s tax—others were afraid of pat law bur Ae had the courage to urge it* pflsffige— A* hud fecomffieilded ihs law for the formation of agricultural societies —he wanted to dlicuss State policy, and if hia competitor had any charges to prefer agsinst his acts as Governor, he wanted to hear them—Colfax, a Whig eiMtot, had spoken well of Ah administration, and Sktt, another Whig editor, had said he hoped As Would be continued Govettiir) in shod, if thfi psople could see the matt*/ just in thpsame a. • * 4 * • • At -....(A ...It u f* mm, ..in linn

Mr. Mcdarty followed in a\pcech of half an hour’s length. Hels not a jilished speaker. He claimed nothing at the haiUs of the people on the ground of his being 4 farmer, though farming had been his only huskies* for the last seven or eitrht tears. No mak should be elevated to office because he foliowqi this pursuit or that, but beeause of his integrity of charactet\ qualifications, and fidelity Vrthe interests of the people. He had no marges to make against Governor Wright’s adaiaiatration—he had not examined his acts with l View to faultfinding. He took him to be anjionorable man, and supposed he had made a gtod Governor—he did not wish to run against aw other kind of a man, as it would be ho credit b him to beat a man who had no character, sic supposed the Governor did not mean any ming by saving that he, the Governor, was a pkorman, and he, McCarty, a rich man. He addtssed himself to the Governor, who looking, ai we thought, a little sheepish, "shook his head." He thought the Governor was mistaken ~alttt the amount of his tax, but he did not suppme the Governor intended to intimate that the ntw assessment law had compelled him to give in any thing which he had concealed under die old law, as he had less property than he haabefore, and if he paid any more taxes, it wa* owing to the revaluation of his real estate, the Governor again shook his head. He had Voted against the 13th article of the Constitution, His sympathies were great, and he hail thpught the State could protect itself Without resorting to heavy fines and penalties against her own citixens for any act of sympathy or charity which might be construed into encouragement to she negroes to settle in the State. During the severe cold weather last winter, if a poor shivering negro had applied to him for shelter lie could not have refused it, yet without encouraging, or intending to encourge him to settle in tpe BteUe. He *v TO! ht* duly to see the laws faithfulty executed. As the people had adopted it, he regarded all parts of the Constitution as equally binding. He had expected to have Wm. "it ii.L political mends lo which the Govbntdr informed him he would lay down his posttibns lor the

canvass, and In which speech the Governor had j discussed National politics. He expected to dismiss the tariff, and was very well pleased with the views Which the Governor had laid down in his agricultural address. Betting by his quiet fire-side at Lome, and not realiaing the danger which, in the opinion of Mr. Clay and other distinguished Statesman, threatened the Union at the time the Compromise measures passed,

he would not have voted for them as a whole; but he had no reason to doubt thtir sincerity, and as these measures were now the law of the land, they ought to be obeyed. He was hot for agitation. Give them a’ fair trial, until time and experience should demonstrate the necessity for their change or modification. He could not consent to the doctrine that they were a •'finality.’* That would be placing them above the Constitution itself, which wat subject to amendment. All power resided in the people, and it was their province tochoose at what time and in What manner they would alter or amend their laws.

Gov. Wright rejoined. He aaid that the Whig Convention was afraid to endorse the Compromise measures; that the Abolitionists had threatened to bolt if such a resolution was adopted, and that if he was a Free So:ler he had rather vote for the democrats, who had folly endorsed them, than for the Whig*, who had said nothing about them. He saic the Whig leaders could not keep the Whigs :rom voting for him; that they wanted to vote for him, and that the Whig Delegates from Floyt and some other counties had opposed a nomination for Governor. The ordinary expenses of the two yeare of his administration had been less than for any other two years since 183. That he had expiynsty confined his remarks and illustrations in his agricultural speech to articles manufactured in this country, and disclaimed any allusion to the tariff; that we hsd shipped ! so many barrels of flour to Europe luring the last yeavhdd that he was opposed to all class legislation. If the Whigs wanted to go into the question of extravagance, he would like to go into Noble’s report—into the internal improvement system. A large amount of the public debt hald been paid since 1343. and he expected more to be paid before the end of his if re-eljected. That the question to be decided by the people of Rush county was as to whether he or McCarty were right m their votes oh tHc! 13th article of the constitution. That it way a wise provision, and that Indiana was the jfrst State to make it a part of her constitution/

M r. McCarty replied. It w*s the firstic had i heard about the Whig. Convention being afraid j to endorse the Compromise measures. It would not aav bow it w ould look in others to do so, but how wonld it have looked forthe Whigs !to have adopted a resolution, Resolved, That ! we the Whigs will support the laws of the country, as long as they remain in force! the worthy Governor had told how many barrels of flour we had shipped to Europe during the last year, but he had strangely forgotten to tell how muny millions of specie we had shipped there during the same period. He supposed it was; an oversight. He could not see what the 13th articte of the constitution had to do with the election of Governor; it was not an open question. ff Whigs wanted to vote for the Gover nor, he hoped no one would try to prevent them

and if democrats wanted to rote for him, he hoped they would he treated in the same man"'oor. Wright replied briefly, eulogizing Mr. Clay and threatening old H *’’ 9 against any body every body who did not en dorse the Compromise at the time of its P B ***|*- We suppose he had the same authority for his declarations in regard to Mr '*^l^"w had when he wrote home that Mr. Clav naa written or would write a letter m favor of Gen.

Cass for the Presidency! _ We hare gireii a brief outline of the discussion on Saturday. We have occupied more space than we intended; and w trust that we have done neither of the candidates injustice. We do not pretend thatMr. McCarty is as polished a speaker as Gov. Wright. Left an orphan when he was three years of age, and having devoted bis youth to the support and maintamance of his widowed mother, he is entirely a self-

made man. He was never educated for or practiced a profession to give him a polish as a public sneaker. Yet he sustained himself in the conflict. His good sense, candor and frankness must have commended him in the estimation of all sensible and candid men. Should lifts and health be spared him,he will be with the Governor throughout the canvass, and we prediet that that gentleman will find him a troublesome customer before it is over.
