The Colonel has become quite enamored with

ty nine lots from M. hi. F.rwin, Esq. The
^Boperty is pleasantly situated, and we are
Ratified to learn that buildings will be spee
dily erected on a portion of the lots. “Com
ing events cast their shadows before.” Cap

Very Respectfully,
WILLIAM L. DEWOODY,

, 8@“The Washington correspondent of
the Cincinnati Enquirer thus speaks of
Gen. Lane, who would be undoubtedly
‘the most prominent candidate for the next
presidential nomination, were it not gen
erally couceded that the next candi
date is due to and should come from the
South.
There are Democrats here who believe
that General Joe Lane, the Marion of the
Mexican war, and the old boatman of the
Western rivers, the pioneer soldier and
statesman, who has been Governor, Rep
resentative and Senator in Congress, will
be nominated and elected President in
1860. No one can deny that he has
many elements of popularity with the mas
ses.

SINKING OF THE STEAMEK COMET !
Seven Lives Lost—Statement of Capt. Ken
nett—Boat and Cargo a Total Loss.
The following is the statement of Capt.
Kennett, in regard to the sudden loss of the
ill-fated steamer Comet.
“ About half-past six o’clock on the even
ing of Saturday last, 19th February, the steam
er Comet encountered a hurricane or whirl
wind at Grason’s Post Office, Arkansas, eigh
teen mile3 below Memphis, known more fa
miliarly as Captain Scanlan’s Farm. We
were trying to land, to put. out some freight
and passengers, when an instantaneous crash
was heard,' and the boat instantly went down.
So sudden was the force of the wind, that 1
do not think thirty seconds could have elapsed
before the boat was engulphed'in the water.
The boat with her cargo is a total loss.
In behalf of myself and crew I tender rny
warmest gratitude to Capt. Scanlan and lady
for their untiring exertion for our comfort.
Nothing that might contribute thereto was
left undone by them. Also to Capt. McKay,
of the Virginia Belle, who came to our relief,
brought myself and crew to Memphis, and ic
fused any compensation, whatever for the
same. I hope Memphis business men and
citizens will remember him, and place his
name first upon the list of generous, true
hearted gentlemen. Please tender inv warm
est gratitude to the creiv of the Comet for their
_„ 1 ^,..1 Aiiiiratm in aai'intr thp rnrfn
and the lives of myself and wile. I should
say more, and particularize the names of
those to whom l am under obligations ; but
my heart is sick, and I must deter that pleas
ure to another time. Respectfully.
PRESS G. KEN NETT.
P. S.—The Comet was a new boat, (being
only two years old,) strong and staunch, and
was insured for $5,500— $2,260 in the Quaker
City and $2,25U in the Commonwealth Insu
rance Companies. P- G- K.
Messrs. Putnam & Crook are tbe agents of
tbe above namad companies in this city.
The Cargo of the Comet was a valuable
one, but as to its exact value, or the amount
of insurance thereon, we are uninformed.
The boat was owned by Messrs. Martin Walt
and D. II. Cook of this city.
Namksof the Lost.—The following is a
complete list of the names of those lost over
board and drowned.
John Pope, first clerk, late of Haywood
county.
Mr. Job Hall, cabin passenger, of Harris
burg, Arkansas.
A young child, deck passenger, name not
known.
Joseph Howell, deckhand, of this city.
Samuel Hardeman, deck hand, of this city.
John Clark, second cook, of this city.
William Black, third cook, supposed to be
from St. Louis.
A portion of the survivors were taken by
the Victoria to Vicksburg, and the officers and
crew of the ill-fated steamer all came up to
this city Sunday evening on the Virginia Belle.
Mrs. Kennett, wife of the captain, was in
the water for some length of time, and only
saved through the most strenuous efforts of the
crew of the boat. A female deck passenger
made a bold attemptto escape with her two
little girls on a bale of hay, but one of the
children was swept away by the rushing tide,
and lost.
The storm, besides causing the disaster
above recorded, was most disastrous in it- ef
fects upon property in that vicinity, the riwel
ling and out-houses of Mr. Scanlan suffering
severely.
