TERRIBLE STEAMBOAT DISASTER.


From the New Orleans Picayune Of December "a.


From the officers of the Diamond, arrived
yesterday, we learn that on the night OF the
18th instant the steamboat Belle Za'ae, Capt.
Brazier, while on her way from GAINESVILLE,
Ohio, 10 this city, struck snag about twelve
miles below the mouth Of White river, on the
Mississippi, and Immediately turned bottom
up. Ii was about IL O'Clock when the ac-
cident occurred. and the night was bitter cold.
Out Of some ninety souls on board at the
time, upwards offfly persisted By this terri
Die accident, some Of the unfortunate victims
only escaping being drowned to freeze to
death after reaching the shore! AT the time
of the disaster, of course, the passengers
were all asleep in their berths, and so sud
denly did the boat careen and 60 over, that
such as made out to release themselves were
only able to snatch blanket or counterpart
from their beds--they had no time to save,
much less put on their clothing. The Off
GERS Of the Diamond, which came along
short time after, picked up sixteen of the pas
sengers, who, after suffering incredibly from
the cold, were kindly landed at Napoleon,
where the balance of those saved on the Ar
kansaw side, had previously assembled. The
names Of those lost have not been ascertain
ed, except Mr.. Bowen, lady and child, of
GAINESVILLE. There were five ladies on board,
all Of whom were saved, except Mrs. B. The
cargo Of the Belle Zane, and the United States
mail, from Louisville, Memphis, and mouth
of the Ohio river, together with the boat and
fixtures, are total loss. Six Of the unfor-
tunate passengers came as far as this city.
Their names are : John P. Nesle, of Albany,
New York; James Sheridan, John Mick,
Robert III. Foster, J. Gibson, and Henry
Platte The feet Of some of them are SO
badly frost-bitten that they are unable to use
them.
