It 18 seldom, indeed, that journalists have to record such ashocking catastrophe as that which startled the public yesterday, and whicn will send a thriii of horror through the whole land, A steamer, the Stonewail, plying between St, Louis and New Orieans, caught (re while it had a living freight of some 275 persons on board, of whom, it is feared, comparatively few have escaped an untimely death. ‘The remembrance of the disaster which occurred on the Obio last Januory, through the colliuing of the steamboats United States and America, and the attendant loss of life by fre and drowning, 13 yet fresh in the popular mind, Then nearly every per- Son on the two boats was lost, Some bodies wero recovered in @ terribly mutilated and charred condt- tion, while others known to have beea on board have never been heard of since. The disaster we have to chronicle is somewhat similar to that one, though less lives were destroyed by fire and more persons came to their death by drowning.

A CHICAGO DOG FIGHT. Exciting Contest of Three Rounds in Fortye three Minutes. {From the Chicago Tribune, Oct. 22.) One oi tae hardest, most exciting and generally noteworthy dog fights on record occurred im thug Re At this time the warning cry of “fire was given by one of the deck passengers, who ran to the engine room and shouted to George W. Fulton, the first en- gineer, Who was then on duty. Darkness had set in and the alarm came with a dreadful #iguificance, Here the boat was at a point whore the river is one and @ half miles wide, with much that was com- bustible on board, and with no means cl escape ex- cept What might be obtained by running the vessel against the bank. Tue alarm was given Muinediate- ly upon the origin of the fire, and it was not unleed- ed. Fulton rusted out and saw a bale of hay in the aft portion of the boat burning. So snail was the fire that tt could have been extinguished with one or two buckets of water ii they had been at hand, but these Were not there, SPREAD OF THP FLAMES. The hay was piled up tothe boiler deck and the space occupied by treight was well filled. ‘The flames spread with great rapidity, danced irom buie to bale of hay, communicated to the dry wood- work of the boat, and it was seen at a glance that the Stonewall was doomed.

While this scene was transpiring on the main deck, what were tne cabin passengers doing? They had just sat down to supper, when a terrible turmoil arose, and they learned at once that the boat was on fire. in that awful moment they vainly looked for a loophole to escape from the fate which threatened them. Below, aft and forward, there was a furnace of untold fierceness, aod on each side there Was a waste of waters, Which indeed oflered a preferabie fate to the other. Thefcabin passengers cise to ept the risk of the milder sate, aud they jumped {vom the boiler deck into the watery sl, bueween land and land, below. The deck passengers also leaped into river as they became more and wore hotiy pressed by the flames. In ten minutes from the first alarm the Stonewa'l was enveoped in flames from stem to steru, from muin deck to plot house—a vast iuneral pyre. By tis time all who could had jumped off the boat and were stro giing for lile in the rapid curreat, Very few were able to save themseives. The great majority were itis feared, drowned almost iminediateiy. ATTEMPT TO ESCAPK. While the deck passengers and crew we addled together on the forecastie, E. P. Watson, tue cary ter of the bout, endeavored to get some oue to as= him in putting the stage plank overboard. It would have floated, 1¢ was, believed, 100 persons to the land, but the passongers were struck heipless by the prospect of the horrible fate siariug them in the face and failed toiaunch the plank.

[t can only be hoped that they ali succeeded in jumping into the river and got (o shore. The coal oil (fortunately not a large quantity) and the bacon burned very tercely. ‘The Stone wall was burned to the water's edge in about one hour and a halt after the fire was discov- ered; but long before this there was uo living soul in tt.
