o election of Dr. Cibaon, the Whig candidate,
old country for years past, a Gvm-
naium, so constructed as to develop all the mus.
cles, or grounds for Military exercise, have been
attached, and made daily subservient to the ra
tional enjoyment of the pupils. ' "
If in the bracing climate of New York, and
Pennsylvania, the popular judgment has deemed
the establishment of Military Academies a pub
lic benefit, surely we, in this warm region, where
the Sun's rays have so enervating an effect on
the constitution, cannot shut out eyes against
the best interest, of our children. Here, in
North Carolina, we have never made any new
enort or innovation on me old beaten course.
whilst no less than, six Academies of this nature
are in operation, and flourish in our sister State
of Virginia.
We find, already, that the experiment now be
ing made by Messrs. Gray and Buck, is produ
cing very happy results, and palpable to every
observer. The demeanor of the Cadets, tboir
erect port, and polite salutation made to their
Schoolmaster and friends, a. they pass them in
the street, so judiciously recommended by their
Instructors, contribute to strengthen our belief
that the Military system produces many benefi
cial results. It Inspires the reckless boy with
a self-respect inrl ,' pride, which may preserve
him from the commission of a mean act, and
tends to sow principles of propriety in conduct,
that may continue throughout life.
The solid duties of the Academy, too, receive
from the energy, activity, and promptness, prac
tised on parade, an additional impulse, and lose a
share of their uninviting aspect it being one of
the laws of the Institution, to deprive the delin
quents of the enjoyment of the drill which takes
place at the close of the day'a work, leaving the
Classical, Mathematical, and other intellectual
studies, distinct and uninterrupted, as in all other
estaJjshments,whpse. main pbjec!. i'sl to pre

of life. ' Of this fact we are assured, by evidence
in our own eon, a member of the School, and the
authority of the Teachers who, we may en pas.
santV mention, are four in number, viz :
Mr. Git ax, who ha. spent some year, amongst
us, and take.. charge of the Classical Department;

DREADFUL STEAM BOAT DISASTER.
Never since we have been connected with the
Press, have we had a more painful duty to per
form than that of laying before our readers the
annexed account of an appalling Steamboat disas
ter, which occurred on the Ohio Ri ver on Wed new
day the 23d instant, and which caused the death
or injury of from sixty to eighty human beings.
In the list of "kflled and missing" will be found
the name of James W. Pegbam ! !
Endowed with talents of a high order blessed
with the affection of a devoted wife, and of chil
dren who looked up to him as " father, friend
and guide" 'the centre of a circle of as attached
friends as man ever had General Pegkam might
justly have looked forward to long years of happi
ness and usefulness. But it was not so ordained.
In the prime and vigor of his manhood faraway
from friends and home, he has been cut off. But
we do not sorrow for him " as those without hoe."
His pure and unsullied life fitted him for death,
and his afflicted family and friends will, from that
reflection, derive the only consolation which can
sustain thorn io this, their hour of sore trial.

TERRIBLE STEAMBOAT DISASTER !
EXPLOSION OF THE LUCY WALKER.
SIXTY TO EIGHTY PERSONS KILLED
AND WOUNDED.
It is with feelings the most acute and painful
that we record the following fearful disaster, and
the loss of so many valuable lives. The steamer
Lucy Walker, Capt. Vann, left this place for New
urieans yesterday crowded with passengers.
vv lien aDout lour or tive miles below IN aw Al
bany, and just before sunset, some part of her
machinery go! out ot order, and the engine was
stopped in order to repair it. While engaged in
making the necessary repairs, the water in the
boilers got too low ; and about five minutes after
the engine had ceased working, her three boilers
exploded with tremendous violence, and horrible
and terrific effect. - ,
The explosion was upwards, and that part of tho
boat above the boilers was blown into thousand
of piece. Tlte U. S. snagboat Ghopher, Capt
L. B. Dunham, was about &K) yards distant at th
time of the explosion. Capt. Dunham was imme
diately on the spot, rescuing those in the water,
and with bis crew rendering all the aid in hi.
power. Td bint we are indebted for most of our
particulars. He informs as that the Lucy Walker
was in the middle of the river, and such .was the
force of the explosion, that parts of the boilers and
the bust were thrown on shore. Just after the
explosion, the air wa filled with human beings
and, fragment of human beings. . One man was
blown op fifty rard. and fell wrthaucb force ss
to go entirely through the deck of tho boat
Another wa. cut entirely in two by a piece of the
boiler. We have heard of many uch heart rending
and sickening incident.? t

th Loci Walker was, he law a humber of person
who bad been thrown Into the fiver, drown. He

man of singular bashfuliiess. lu token of the

courtship lasted seven years. Six years and a
half passed away, and the reverend gentleman
had got no further forward than he had been the
first six days. This state of things became in

Mr. Brown summoned all his courage fur the

The blessing was asked, the kiss was UiUen,
and the worthy divine, perfectly overpowered
with the blissful sensation, most rsnturouslv ex
claimed, Oh, woman, but it is giirie well re

fst-tiTquisttiire--apect to'-lhw-Trewthvhetf-Trifr the
Christian, anxious to note the general synip
loins that develope themselves in so awful a
crisis ; for the purpose of marking what aids
Christianity can afford in an hour when ihere
is a manifest failure of all earthly consolations.
But the spirit of solicitude is heightened, in pro
portion as the- object upon whom our attention
is fixed differs from the common order of chris
tians, eiiiier in himself, in his circumstances, or
both. Thus when a minister of the Gospel, a
well-known, enlighteued, and experienced ser.
vant of God, dies, some unusual interest is ex
cited, and Some greater impulse is given to the
spirit of inquiry. Then to his numerous friends,
let this obituary reply, or at least, afford us the
grttiticsftmr of .-announcing- that this venerable
lather in the Church, died as 'the christian dieth.'
His faith, like ihe well turned arch, ths stronger

He was one of the oldest members of the Pay

preacher; but for the last three years confined
to bis home by a lingering disease. In Iris death,
Ihe Church has lost a pillar, the want of which,
though it gave Way by gradual decay, will not be
the less left; v? Ins family and numerous rela
