AWFUL CALAMITY!
The Steam Boat General Robinson, Capt. Smith, arrived at this place on
Saturday evening, in 22 days from New Orleans with full freight.
About 8 o'clock on the evening of the 16th inst. eight miles below
Eddyville, one of her boilers bursted; by which unfortunate accident
Mrs. Stevens of this town was killed. Mrs. Davis, Miss Sally M. Connell,
Mr. A.B. M'Quie, of Kentucky, and a negro girl belonging to Mrs. Davis,
were so severely scalded that they lived but a few hours; Mr. Henry
Bailey's life is despaired of: Mr. Dawson, of this county, Mr. Crenshaw,
of Summer, and Mr. Whiteside, of North Carolina, were blown overboard,
and were not found. Two or three others were badly, though not
dangerously scaled.
The remains of those who died on board the boat, were interred at
Eddyville. The injury done to the boat is inconsiderable - the cargo not
at all damaged.
We are authorized to say, that no blame is to be attached to the captain
or crew of the boat, in consequence of this disaster, but to a flaw in
one of the flues, which has the appearance of never having been sound.
If blame is attributed to any one, it is to the Engine Company of
Cincinnati, for putting a defective piece of iron in a part of the
boiler, which was not visible.

FOR THE ARKANSAS GAZETTE,
By the Good Genius of Arkansas
A PROCLAMATION.
Whereas the word BAYOU, when sounded in the ears of real American people
generally conveys to their understanding the idea attached to a body of
stagnated water, thrown upon the land by the current of a river, or the
flux of the tide, and consequently the country encumbered with Bayous is
considered unhealthy, and unfavorable to the comfortable existence of
it's inhabitants.
And whereas this word BAYOU, to the injury, discredit, and defamation of
the country within my charge, has by some means, been wickedly,
illiberally, or inadvertently and indiscreetly introduced, and
improperly attached as a name or appellation for my fine, long, flowing
rivers; my pretty meandering rivulets; my brisk running creeks; my
purling streams; and my sweet murmuring pebbly brooks ---- that my
little Illinois river is called a Bayou; my creek which runs so sweetly
under the Petit John mountain is called a Bayou, such is the case with
my Cadron rivulet, the musical Spadre, and many of my pretty brooks,
streamlets, creeks, and rivers. In order to put a stop to the misuse of
this word BAYOU, and that all my rivers, rivulets, creeks, streams, and
brooks, shall assume their proper names and rank in the American
vocabulary and the world of letters, and the character of the country
within my charge, shall be redeemed from the disgrace and discredit it
has so long labored under, by the misuse of this mischievous word, I
have thought fit, by and with the advice of my Aerial Council to issue
this my Proclamation, strictly forbidding and prohibiting the further
use of the said word BAYOU in the improper manner herein stated; and
positively commanding that the unappropriate word BAYOU shall be forever
discarded and disused.
And, for the enforcement of this my strict order and command, discarding
this mischievous word which has led many people to believe that this
pleasant country (healthy as any on earth) is the seat of agues, fevers,
and mortal diseases. I do hereby enjoin it on all officers of government
civil and military, as well as every printer, and other good citizen, to
refrain from the improper use of the said word BAYOU, as it respects
this country under my charge. They must not write it, print it, or speak
of it improperly, under the pain of my high displeasure. Instead of
saying Illinois Bayou say little Illinois River; instead of Shoal Bayou,
say Shoal Brook or rivulet: instead of Spadre Bayou, say Spadre Creek;
and so on, saying river, creek, rivulet, or brook, instead of the much
detested word BAYOU.
And further, to enforce the due observance of my will and pleasure, I do
hereby declare and publish by solemn determination to punish every
obstinate offender in this case, in the most severe and exemplary
manner, by giving him or them over to the buffeting of the Evil Genius
of Arkansas, and withdrawing from him or them my protection.
Given under my hand, at my Aerial palace, this 1st day of the month of
Flowers, in the 18th year of the emancipation of the country of my
guardianship from the power of the tyrant of Spain, and the 38th year of
the acknowledged emancipation of the people of the American nation from
the power of the tyrant of Britain.
