Steamboat collision in the Chesapeake.

About one o'clock on Saturday morning, the steamer Louisiana, Capt. George W. Russell, bound for Norfolk, and the steamer Virginia, Capt. Noah Fairbanks, bound for Fredericksburg. got in to collision on the Chesapeake Bay, off the mouth of the Patuxent, about one hundred miles from Baltimore. The Virginia had her bows stove in, but not so badly as to prevent her proceeding on her way.
