VALEDICTORY.
With this issue ceases our connection
with the Herald —a fact which neith
er we nor our readers will regret. Brief
as has been our editorial career, its
brevity certainly exceeded its brillian
cy. But our experience during the
past year has been varied and eventful,
to an extent known to hut few. Though
at times we have met with encourage
ment and success, our difficulties have
been such as few would have cared to

in better condition, in every respect j
than wheu we assumed control.

duties with a feeling of relief, there re.

ings, and hearty wishes for our success,
we extend our earnest, heartfelt thanks.
To our friends S. J. Kaughiey and
J. Frank llazell, Kstirs., we particu
larly return our thanks for the friendly
aid and encouragement they have ex
tended to us in the past. May their
lives be happy and prosperous, and their
every effort crowned with success.
To our many personal friends we
would say that their many acta of kind

arated from them, they will ever be held
in grateful remembrance, and any op
jiortunity ol returning their many fa

To our patrons, one and all, we ex
tend our thanks. The position we oc
cupied towards them, was not of our

without any previous preparation,—
without any knowledge of its difficul
ties and responsibilities, we undertook
the performance of its duties and re
quirements. For our numerous fail

experience; but our every effort was
made for their benefit, and to the best
of our knowledge and ability.
To our successor we extend a cordi

fitness for the position, we commend him
to our patrons, confident that he will
give entire satisfaction.
To our brethren of the press we offer
our best wishes, hoping that their diffi

for greater than have been ours.
And now, "with oharity for all, with
malice towards none," and with the
hope of soon seeing the Hkrald ad

importance among the journal of the

THE MINNEHAHA AFFAIR.
Mr. Editor: —In reading y
count of the Minuehaha affair, Ii
sue of July 2fith, I discovered an error,
and in justice to those concerned, espe
cially our courteous host, Mr. Lucius P.
Campbell, I ask a correction.
It is not true that Risbin Bishop was
beaten while rushing to the assists nee of
Mr. »Slaughter. He got wbat lie so rich
ly deserved early in the day. The darks
were disturbing no one, when lie inter
fered with the women, which caused
some buck nig to lay him out. When
tbe excursion first arrived, tbe negroes
demanded the use of the dwelling house
once or twice, of Mr. Campbell; but
his refusing each time they finally
turned to the woods and beach to enjoy
themselves. Everything passed off very
quietly until a few roughs committed
the assault on Mr. Slaughter, while he
was out on the end of the pier, prepar
ing his peaches for market.
Theexcursionists generally were com
posed of genteel and orderly negroes.—
But in this case, as well as in many oth
ers, there were some bad characters to
do harm. 1 will also state that Mr.
Slaughter's injuries were not as serious
as first reported, as he was out the next
day; also, that but one pistol shot

For the Herald.
Mr. Editor ;—It is worthy the atten
tion of the citizens of this town to recog
size the necessity of preventing the de
position of all kinds of garbage in the
streets and gutters. During the preva
lence of hot weather, the exposure of
vegetable and animal matter te the sun
has the effect of genet ating disease, and,
at the present lime, too much precaution
cennot be taken to prevent causes easily
controlled by the parties interested to be
tbe excitiug cause of an epidemic.

As the Staten Island boat, West field,
wuu starting from her dock at the foot
of Whitehall street, near the Hattery,
New York, at 1.30 on Sunday, with a
heavy load, consisting mainly of the
usual class of Sunday excursionists, to
the number of about three hundred, her
boiler burst with a tremendous explo
sion, shivering the whole upper works
of itie boat into a thousand pieces, and
laying open the whole forward pHrt of
the hull to the keel. The spectacle on
the ill-fated steamer subsequent to the
explosion is beyond description,
great yawning abysa stretched from ab
aft the engine rwoom close to the stern,
and the deck seemed to have opeued like
a sepulchre to swallow its load of pre
cious human freight in the dark hold
Ixmeath. The dead and dying were ly
ing about in every direction among the
deoris of broken timbers, splinters and
heavy machinery. From amidships to
the cutwater the boat presented a vast
hast bold lillea with fragments of spars,
brums, tlooriug and bulwarks and frag
meats of iron.
The entire uumber dead is supposed
to be eighty-eight; wounded and at the
point of deutb nearly a hundred.
Many persons, as in the case of Pro
fessor (Jueueviere, of Brookiyb, were
blown bodily in the air, felling into the
water. Some bave been hauled out by
boatmen with hooks and otherwise.—
Men, women and childen still alive
were brougut in, scorch red, bruised aud
mutilated to such a degree that it seem
ed almost impossible that life should re
main.
Among the dead lay a man witli the
back of his head absolutely blown off,
said bv some to be a lireman. Oue man,
John Moger, the pilot, was thrown from
the forward pilot-house twenty feet in
the air, falling on tile boat, and escaping
without a scratch. Two young ladies
were walking towards the bow of the
ill-fated steamer, when the explosion
took place they |were blown eighty feet
iu the air. John Freelaud was tue cap
tain of the boat and Henry Rol inson
(col.) engineer. He states that he tried
the boiler a few moments
before tue explosiou, and found water
at the upper cock. He states further,
that at that at time hs looked at the
sleani gauge, and that there was twen
ty -seveu pounds of steam in her boiler.
Also that the steam was blowing off at
the safety valve, showing that the boiler
was carrying tbe full extent allowed by
tbe certificate. Ho further stales that
the boiler wes repaired last winter. Tbe
cause of the explosion was probably tbe
breaking of the joints of a plate which
the boiler hud been patched on the rear
end.
