We learn from the New Orleans Tropic
of the 18th inst, that the steamers Ameri-
can Eagle and Rainbow came in contact on
the morning Of the l4th about SIS miles
above that city. The Rainbow was bound
down and the American Eagle up. The
Rainbow, it appears, was rounding 10 and
the American Eagle standing across thsriver,
both boats making for a light that was on
shore, when the latter ran into the former
boar, striking her a little forward Of the boil
ers on the starboard side, tearing away her
guard as far aft as the wheel house, ripPins
up her hull within foot Of the waters edge,
carrying away her Ckimnsys, knocking down
the pilot house, disPlacing her boilers and
causing her connection pipes to burst, in
stantly killing John Williams deck hand
and scalding two deck passengers and three
negro irsmen badly. The steamer AmbaS-
sadOr soon hove in sight, and cOmming along
side Of the Rainbow, towed her to New
Orleans. The Tropic further states, that the
collision was purely accidental, and that no
blame attaches to either party.
