before at the Red River landing. Mr.
/ Beard, one OF the unfortunate passen-
gers OF the Buckeve, attempted to


swim ashore with his Young nephew
upon his back, but in the endeavor both


were drowned The above names en-


brace all that we could gather with cer>


tainty-a few days will doubtless add
| others 10 the melancholy list.
The De Soto remained bv the wreck
till the last, her officers exerting them
selves to the utmost in saving the lives
and propertyOf the passengers upon
the sinking boat. Near forty lives


were saved by the mate of the De Soto


with the yawl, who picked them up
in the water. The night was clear an d
The moon shedding IA brilliant light; else
the lives of many more would have
been LOST.


The De Soto arrived at our Levee
yesterday morning with many of the
sufferers on board The lamentations
of those who had lost their families
were still heard-mothers were still
orieving for their children thus entire>
ly cut off. The bodies Mr. Hyam's
little glrl and sister in-law were res
covered, as was also that of one of the
children of Gel. King. La addition the
bodies of three other children have
been found.


Such are the particulars, so far as
we have been able 10 learn them of this
unfortunate caSualiiy-a CASUALTY which
has sent so mlny human beings thus
suddenly before their Maker. Although
we have heard pei sons attach blame to
some of the officers OF the Buckeye, in
not keeping their proper position in
the river, others again entirely exoue-
rate them; and we are inclined TO be-
lieve thst the collision was one of those
sudden accidents which prudence in
vain endeavours TO combat. The boat.
together with the cargo, is total loss,
although many of the hands were left
by the wreck TO save such trunks and
other property as might float"
