STEAMBOAT DIsAsTER!-The s. B. Telegraph passed this place on her way from New-Orleans to Louisville on Thurs day last. On the night before her arrival here at about 10 o'clock A. M., she run a. gainst snag which did her considerable injury. Had the snag struck the hull of the boat, 1t would doubtless have sunk her: but, fortunately, its end being elevated out of the water, 1t struck upon her upper deck and perforated eighty-fve feet thro' the ves- sel, prostrating and demolishing whatever opposed 1t. The cabin being on the upper deck, the snag passed thro' the bar which Is at it's front-end, ploughed its way along through the upper part of the cabin; but, as if Conscious of the many terrified tenants of the berths, steared its course without any personal molestation.

 Curiosity induced us to visit the boat, and we can truly say that we never wit messed the effects of an occurrence which indicates a more fortuitous escape. The, boat was impeded in its progress only a snf- ficient time to disincumber it from its un- welcome visiter, and the injury done can be repaired without any serious detrinent to the proprietors.-Heraid.

 The IadiaaS.-We learn from the last Galenian, that Col. DoDGE has accom- plished the entire removal of the Wmneba- go Indians across the Wisconsin, in accor- dance with the treaty of last summer.

 The same paper states, that during the payment of the Winnebago Indian Annui- ty, a few days previous, at Fort Winneba- go, ffty bafrels of Whislxey were sold to them; that they generally became intoxi- cated; and in an alffay one Indian woman and several children were killed. The h. dian who committed the murders was im- mediately shot, by order of q chief, called the Little Priest.

 We suspect the truth of this statement. But, If Ii be true, inquiry should be made. Who sold this large quantity of liquor to the Indians and where was the commando ing officer, that he did interpose to pre- vent it It IS disgracetul to the Govern ment. that such things are acted under the immediate cognizance of its officers, and no measures taken to prevent the traffic. We repeat, that we question the truth ol the statement, so far at least as respects the quaatity of whiskey sold. But the of. ficers in authority at that post owe it te themselves to explain away statement SC derogatory iii the Government under whicl they act. -st. Lossfs Repabl;caas
