An Unlucky Vessel. —A schooner, sup
posed to bo the Lydia R. Ogdm , was sunk in the
Pclawnre, opposite the Point House, on last Satur
day night. Lieut. Edgar, of the river and harbor
police, having picked up a water-cask and galley,
supposed there had been A collision, and made a
Search on that evening, but was unsuccessful.
Since that time neither Captain Fisher nor his crew
bave been heard of, and it is supposed they went
down with the vessel. At the time sho sunk her
nails were furled, and since then no one has taken
any interest in the matter. Lights have not even
been placed on her masts in order to warn off pass
ing vessels. She lies in about eighteen feet of
yrator, directlyin the chnnnol. This schooner was
one of those used to raise tho ill-fnted John
Ttitcis. The other schooner used for that pur
pose has also been wroeked near Sandy Hook.
Independent Company. —A company of
Volunteers is forming in this city composed exclu
sively of Italians and Frenchmen who have served
in the wars in Europe. Their ranks are nearly
full, but they need a few men of the right kind.
Messrs. A. Zajotti and A. D’Orsolini, both of whom
bave served among our three-months volunteers,
jiro actively engaged in getting tho company com
pleted. They have good reason to expect that they
will be accepted as an independent company. They
bave not elected a captain, nor do they expect to
elect one; but they hope that the War Department
will assign some experienced American officer to
their command. Tho armory of the company is at
26 South Seventh street.
Cameron Light Guard This spirited or
ganization have secured for their regimental hand
the celebrated Heading City Band, well known ns
one of the finest in tho State. The regiment will
also take out a full drum and fife lt is evi
dent that the friends nnd officers ef this regiment
will spare no pnius to make it one of tho crack re
giments of Pennsylvania. Its ranks are rapidly
Slling, with returned volunteers principally, and it
will soon be in active servico.
KoßßEnr. —About a quarter before throe
o'clock jcgterdny morning, tho shoo-store of Win.
G. Harvey, corner of Decatur and Jayne streets,
was entered by a burglar, who took offthe shutters
and broke a heavy padlock before entering. Tho
rascal had secured a quantity of joods when ho
was discovered, and chased by Mr. Win. Knowls, a
private watchman employed near that locality.
The burglar got off with a portion of hu spoils,
though the timely appearanco of tho watehm.au
prevented the carrying off of much other plunder.
Attention is called to the advertisement of
the Allibone House,” West Philadelphia. This
is the splendid mansion built by the president of
the late Pennsylvania Bank, and now fitted up as a
private boarding-house for families who desire to
combine the hcnithfulnoss of tho country with the
elegances of city life. No better location could he
and we recommend it to our readers.
Personal. Brigadier General Andrew
Porter, of the United States army, provost marshal
of Washington city, has been in this city for soverai
days, cn business of a private nature. He returned
to Washington on Monday night. General Porter
Is a Pennsylvanian.
The committee on water of this city started
for Now York, at two o’clock yesterday afternoon,
for the purpose of examining the Croton and Brook
lyn Water Works, with a view to tho great im
provements expected to bo made during this fall in
regard to the supply of water iu Philadelphia.
Laying or a Corner-stone. —The corner
stone of the Grammar School Building, at Twenti
eth and Coates streets, will be laid this afternoon at
4 o’clock.
Accident. —Yesterday afternoon, John Mor
row fell from n tree, in Mannyunk, and had one of
bis arms broken, and was otherwise so lyfttlly injured
that he is not expected to survive.
LEGAL INTELLIGENCE.
United States District Court —Judge
Cadwalader. Franklin M. Bead was put on
trial, yesterday morning, charged with stealing
and embezzling from tho post office, in this city,
The allegation on the part of the Government fsl
that frequent complaints have been made to the
postal authorities of the loss of letters, containing
money, on the route to Atlantic City, and, in con
sequence of this, an investigation was instituted by
order of the posininstcr.
The defendant had charge of the distributing of
letters on that route, nnd, suspicion attaching to
him, a decoy letter, containing two SI notes, was
mailed, addressed to Mrs. Isaac Green, Atlantic
City. When the mail was made up for that place
the letter was missing, nnd the defendant was im
mediately taken into custody and the hank notes
found upon him. The wholo plan for the detection
of the offender wi>3 arranged by Mr. Ireland, the
chief clerk of flic office, and its suceess is owing en
tirely to his ingenuity and vigilance. The defense
set up a general denial uf the oharge, and the good
character of the accused.
The jury rendered a Yerdiet of guilty.
ANOTHER LETTER FROM RUSSELL.
The London of the 13th inst., contains
another letter from Mr. Russell. It evinces the
same spirit of hostility to the loyal portion of our
country which wn.« displayed in his former commu
nications. but contains little that would be new or
interesting to our readers. Its most important por
4ion is as follows:
M. Mercier, the energetic and able representa
tive of our ally, is said to entertain strong nulions
that the contest now waging cannot terminate in
.the success of {he North in what it proposes to
itself. M. do Ptoeekl, the Russian Minister, who
has lived long in America, knows her statesmen and
the genius of her people and institutions, and is a
man of sagacity and vigorous intellect, is believed
to hold similar"views. Perhaps the only minister
*vho has really been neutral, observing faithfully
-all engagements to actually existing powers, and
sedulously avoiding all occasions of offence or
irritability to an irritable people, rendered
•jnore than usually so by the evil days which luivo
fallen upon them, is the discreet and loyal noblc
onan who represents Great Britain, and who is the
•only one threatened with a withdrawal of passports,
.and all sorts of pains and penalties, for the presumed
ijhostility of his Government to the United States.
The world sees that the North has not treated the
Southerners as rebels—-we will not say it has not
'dared to do t'u. But the Federalists have treated
the Confederates up to this moment as belligerent*.
Hebels arc hanged, imprisoned, and shot at discre
tion. Their nags are not received; the cxchasjge
of prisoners with rebels is ridiculous. A regular
« blockade” of rebel ports is quite anomalous. It
remains to be seen, after Mr. Davis 5 recent hints,
what the Government dares to do in the case of
the t: pirates’ J whom its eruisers caught in the act.
.red-handed, of primteoring piracy. Meantime, tha
firm raised to chuslise and subdue has been struck
•down, and the altitude of the North is just now de
fensive. There will be on the part of the one
people whom the American press has most in
sulted and abused, every disposition to give fair
•play, and to listen to the call for “time.” But
•the quarrel must have its limits —tho time must
Jbe fixed, and the sponge must he thrown up
•if on© or other of the wmbatante cannot "come
up” to it; nor docs it seem a case in which any
-amount of “judicious bottleholding” can prolong
the fight. Now. at the present moment, the North
is les3 able to go into the contest than she was a
.month ago. She has suffered a defeat, she has lost
morale and waferiel. Besides killed, wounded,
prisoners, cannon, arms, baggage, she has lost
an army of thrcc-month3 men, who have marched
away to their homes at the very moment the capital
was in the greatest danger. Up to this period the
reinforcements received do not bring up the Fede
ralists to the sucngtli they had before the fight.
No one can or will tell how many have strayed away
and gone off from their regiments since they re
turned to the enmps here, but the actual num
ber of men who have come here is less than
those who have gone away homo by fully eight
thousand rank and file. And the change ha?
been by no means for the bettc-r. Tho three
months mon at least had boon three months
vinder arms. They were probably at least as
martial and a? ready to fight as the rest of their
people. Just us they are most required and likely
not to be quite unserviceable. the}' retire to receive
511 deserved and ridiculous ovations, as though they
had been gloriuiw conquerors and patriots, instead
of being broken uml routed fugitives, who marched
off from Washington when it might be expected the
enemy were advancing against it. In their place
come levies who have not hud even tho three
months* training, and who arc not as well equipped,
fo far as I cun see, as their predecessors, to face
men who are elated with success and the prestrgn
of the first buttle gained, and to be associated with
regiments cowed, probably, and certainly in some
instances domoraliHod by defeat.
The artillerymen who cut tho traces of tlioiv
horses from cui.-.-vm and carriage, at least knew
more about guns than the men who will be put
to the new field butteries, which Government
are getting up as fast ns they can ; and the
muskets, of the best description, left on the Held
or taken, cannot be replaced for a long time to
come. In fact, much of this army must be rear- ,
ganued in face uf nn enemy. That enemy is either «.
incompetent or artful; it is quite certain lie is not
actuated by clemency or agenerons pity % Engineers
are hard at work strengthening the position on the
south bank of the river; but forts do not constitute
safety. Without .stout hearts behind their lines
and breastwork.-, nbuttis and redoubts avail nothing.
It must be that the Confederates arc deficient in
the means of transport, or in actual force to make
an attack which U so obvious, if they desire to show
tho North it is not possible to subdue them. The
which vfvai from Winchester to
under Jblinslon. is put by the Federalists at iu.hO»J.
Let us take il at half the number. Beauregard
and Leo ore said to have had 60,000 at Manassas,
including, I presume, the forces between il and
Richmond. Divide that again. There were cer
tainly 20,000 between Monroe, the Court, and Rich
mond, of whom 10.000 could be spared; and on the
western side of the capital of the Confederate Stated
there was available at least another corps of Io.OUO,
which could have been readily strengthened by
10,000 or 15.000 more from the South in case of a
supreme effort. There seems no reason, not con
nected with transport, equipment, or disci
pline, why the Confederates should not have boon
able last week to take the field with 75.ij00
men, in two corps; one quite strong enough to
menace the force on the right bank of the Po«
teniae, and to hold it in chock* or to prevent it
coins over to the other side; the other to cross
Into Maryland: which is now in parts only kept
quiet by force, and to advance down on Washington
from the West mid North. In tho event of success
the political advantages would be very great, both
|it home and abroad, and there would be a now base
©f operations gained close to the enemy’s line-,
While the ftdYftUtrtgCS of holding the Potomac and
Chesapeake bay would be much neutralised, and
fixudly destroyed. Tho navy yard would fill into
the enemy’s hands. Fort Washington would pro
bably soon follow. Fortress Monroe would.be con
demned to greater isolation. Philadelphia it«df
would be in imminent danger should the Con
federates attempt greater aggression. But, for
©ne, General Beauregard wtU consent to no
plan of operations In which success iB not ren
dered W Certain as may be by oil possible
precautions, and he not favor a proposal
Which would lend to dividing an army into two
parts, with a river between them and an enemy on
each side. Monroe and Hampton, which are the
true bases of operations against Richmond, have
been weakened to reinforce the army covering
Washington and Harper’s Ferry, and yet I doubt
if there Arc on tbe south bank of the Potomac at
Ih'g moment 40,000 men all along the lines who
could move out and offer an enemy battle, leaving
HPT adequate guards in the trenches and garrisons
in tha tite-die-pont and works. The Confederates.
38 you were informed from the South, have enlisted
meif to serve for the war, and take no others.
The Staple of their army will undergo no change,
and as it grows older it ought to get bet
ter, unless it be beaten. You will pardon mo
for referring to a remark in one of my pro-
vious letters, that there might be liereo skirmishes,
and even sanguinary engagements, between the
two armies, but that these would be followed by no
decisive results, owing to the want of cavalry,
gtrnngo to say. though the panic and very discredit*
able rout was caused by alarms of, and might
linvo boon prevented by tho preseneo of cavalry,
no slops arc taken to remedy that great deficiency.
The volunteers who were at Manassas will never
stand the man on horseback again, and I believe
the Confederates are quite aware of tlioir advantage,
though they may have had to mourn the loss of
many gentlemen who fell during tho day. Tho
Northern papers are increasing the amount of but
tor in proportion as they decrease the losses of their
loaves, and they do not appear to pereeiye that
the smaller the latter were the less should he the
layer of the former—for it is no credit to an army
to lose its guns, abandon its position, throw away its
muskets, leave its wounded in the hands of tho
enemy, and run some 30 and odd miles from front
of Centreville, not merely to Arlington, but to
Washington, without any cause nt all; for without
loss there was no cause of retreat, and therefore no
excuse for panic and rout. Again, they say thoro
was only a portion of their army engaged. Tho
greater shame for those who were not ongagod to
run, then. But before the battle, when McDowell's
force was enumerated in terrorem at 50,000. it was
said 15 regiments had subsequently joined. Now
it is averred only 15.000, 18,000, or 20,000
were in action. What on enrth were the rest
about? And I am obliged to say that Mr. Davis'
statements are quite as startling; for, while he de
clares tho enemy woro 35,000 strong, he astonishes
us by asserting that of all his host only 15,000 took
part in the battle. As to losses, of course it is be
yond anything but imagination to give an estimate.
Regiments reported to have been annihilated have
turned up quite hale and hearty, neat as imported,
on tho day of marching homo— and fond parents,
witcs* nnd relatives will Do spared many pangs and
n great deal of mourning. 1 think my estimate of
killed and wounded was nearly correct. The pri
sonersmay amount to more than 000 or 1,000, but the
Federalists have lost more heavily than the totals
under these heads would show, perhaps. It would
be rather ridiculous to call it cither a bnrdffought.n
bloody, Or ft glorious field ; but it wns an important
one ; it was a most trying one to the Federalists,
who were badly fed and hard-worked, in a water
less country, on a July day, for twelve hours; they
were exposed to the demoralizing effects of long
continued artillery fire. In spite of their want of
discipline and the very unaccountable rout, the
Federalists at first showed alacrity, but after a time
thoy became torpid and difficult to handle. No one
questions the general bravery of Americans, native
or adopted, on either side; but a defeat is rendered
worse than ridiculous by attempts to turn it into a
triumph. Let the unfortunate brave rest content
with the sympathy they deserve, and shun the ova
tions which arc the due of the conqueror. Praise
and flattery cannot retake a gun. nor save a stand
ard, nor win a buttle—even if it bo from vov popu
ii in Broadway or Bowery.

SOME ACCOUNT OF TUB AMERICAN' ZOUAVES AN'D
TIIINOS GENERALLY IN CAMP FREMONT.
[From the Missouri Democrat.)
Major Jne, McDonald returned this morning at
4 o'clock in the Hannibal City, from £>t. Louis,
with the three companies under his command,
having satisfactorily accomplished the mission as
signed him, an account of which I see you have
already published. We were glad to greet our
comrades in arms again, and, though they grumble
some at not being ullowcd to iJ go ashore" in St.
Louis, (poor fellows,) were pretty generally
cheerful.
Here there 13 just healthy excitement enough to
keep us in condition, and though we are gradually
settling into the harness, still there will be an occa
sional flurry to give an appetite and keep us from
getting any way sluggish.
“War, and rumors of war. fJ is the order of the
day with us now, but from the lively experience we
Lave already-had, wv take things as easily ns possi
ble. find, like good soldier?, tire fast learning to
adapt- ourselves to circumstances.
Jeff. Thompson is reported by our scouts to be
within nine or ten miles of this place, and wc may
expect an attack at any time, llis force is said
to number between CUD and 700 men. Fortu
nately, we are strongly fortified, and with the
force we have now on hand, our guns mounted
and our retrenchments complete, we shall be happy
to receive him with “all the honors of wnr ?? nt
any time he may sec fit to visit us. It is also said
that Gen. Hardee, with 15.000 rebels, is moving on
Pilot Knob, and that Pillow, with 20.000, is divided
between Sikestown and New Madrid—the supposi
tion being that ho. will make a feint upon Bird s
Point and join willi Jeff'. Thompson—Hardee's ad
vanced force to pay their united respects to you
good folks in St. Louis. Be it a? U may (and you
must be well posted,) wc give ourselves no imme
diate trouble concerning you. looking out at present
for our own welfare- and having unbounded confi
dence, not only in you, but ourselves.
Our Homo Guards are increasing in number daily,
and we have now nearly 400 here, beside 200 we
know of on their way to ynn us. The principal
sentiment of tho town bora i 3 decidedly secession,
though a strong Union feeling prevails among a few
of tho inhabitants, but neither party can complain
of any outrage committed by our troops upon them
or their property. Col. 0. U. Marsh, the command
er of the post, has issued hia ;i police regulations,'’
and they arc generally duly observed by our men.
Take our boys as a whole, and a finer set of follows
never volunteered to serve their country. It is true
that there may be one or two in each company that
the others would wish out, but, «s u body of soldiers,
enlisted in a good cause, a braver, better behaved, |
or better looking set of men. Uncle Sam never had j
to shoulder a musket. All they ask is fair treat- i
mcr.t and an opportunity to distinguish themselves,
and if they don’t prove all that the Government ,
could desire, you may set me down as an ignora
mus, "When I think how patient they have been
under the privations they have had to endure, and ■
the confidence they have in our colonel, (who truly
deserves it,) and their eagerness to distinguish them
selves (and that thoy have already done once or \
twice) at every opportunity, one can’t help really i
admiring the spirit that actuates them. It is a i
privilege to be associated with such men. With- j
out tents or the arms that were promised them, ;
in absolute need of tho pay due them from the :
Government, not only fur their own .want?, but
in many oayoe for the wants- of thoy left '
nearly destitute at home; lucking many things ;
necessary for their comfort, often separated from i
each other, and always busy, they have ever con- ;
ducted themselves bravely and honorably, knowing
that lind it been in the power of their colonel to
prevent it, they would not have the just cause of
complaint they have now. There is a screw loose :
somewhere, and it is time that it wns fixed, This j
regiment will be an honor to the State, and they >
should bo treated better in the iuturc by those ;
having authority. Equip them properly, pay them (
off- and give them half a chance, and all that is re- j
quired of them in this war will be done, I will war- j
rant, to the entire satisfaction of all concerned. [
Our situation here is a fine one. and tho pleasant i
wenthex we have hud for the last few days has been ;

THE POSITION OP THE VESSELS. j
The correspondent of tho New York Times, on
beard the United States steamer Roanoke, writing
frsm off Charleston, under dale of Saturday?
August 17. soys:
On August 2 we anchored off Charleston Harbor.
The 'Wabash left in the evening. We found the j
I >et)/Asz)tet ilk «mehor Lc-re t Thv Seminole Hoto ill :
sight, with her headgear and bowsprit carried ;
away. She came to anchor, .and reported a colli- j
sion with the Wabash. \
Two fugitive slaves from Charleston came aboard ;
011 the 4th. Our worthy captain informed them j
that he il did not come liorc to pick up fugitive ne- j
crocs, but to fight their musters.” Thoy willjuo*
bubly be made to act- as coal-heavers for Uncle
Sain. About 8i o’clock in tlie evening of the next j
day lights were seen crawling along close in shore, ;
in the direction of the harbor. <mo of which was :
made out to be quite a large sail, but she passed iu !
safely. Since this event, other sales have been •
duly reported. It is but 'proper to state that the j
blockading squadron, composed nt present of the j
Roemolc. the gunboats ami j
and the sloop-of-war Vanda!ta, lay at least twelve j
miles from the entrance of the harbor. j
On the 9th instant a Secession steamer rnn the j
blockade. She was first seen puffing away toward ;
the coast, on our starboard bow. After expending [
much valuable time in staring through glasses, j
hoisting signals, and examining signal, books, the f
Vandalia was finally ordered in pursuit, but hav- j
ing only a quarter wind, yon mny judgc tho result. !
After the steamer had made good her retrofit, the i
Seminole made chase. Hardly had the excitement j
of this event subsided, when another steamer, cm- >
boldened by the success of the former, attempted j
the same exploit; but pursuit in thin instance could j
not be avoided, uud, finding herself well headed j
off' from the entrance of the harbor, she put back j
with redoubled speed.. She was vigorously pursued ,
by the sloop and gunboat, uur crew watching ea
gerly until thoy woro out of view. They have
ginee returned, with no uophirs appended.
.tin the afternoon of the 11th, about o’clock, a
i steamer left the harbor bearing the Knglish flag
i forward, and a flag of truce at the main She lay
1 to at about good firing distance, when we sent one
| of our boats alongside, and brought off the British
1 Consul. AYhat the nature of his interview with the
i commodore was. none but the initialed can toll.
Shortly after the Consul left us. ordnrs wore given
to get up anchor, and at about \)h o'clock anchored
again some eight miles from our first uuehorage,
where wc still lie.

Obituary.
MTSfI CATHERINE HAYES,
The news of the death of this distinguished lady
has just reached us from Europe—news which her
many friends and admirers on this side of tho At
lantic will be sorry to boar.
Miss Hnyes was born in Limerick, Ireland, about
the vonr 1820, and at an early age showed a most de
cided talent for music, which wns kindly fostered by
her friends, and, thanks to the then Episcopal Bishop
of her native city, she was enabled to rccoivo lessons
from the accomplished Professor Sapio, in Dublin,
jlcr first appeuninco in public was in concerts, ut
which she sang with great success the boautiful me
lodies of her native land. But with increasing years
grew ambition, and she determined to try her pow
ers in a wider k field, where success is sweeter and
fame more brilliant and lasting. She accordingly
went to Paris, where sho placed herself under tho
tuition of the celebrated Spanish teacher, Garcia,
and afterwards proceeded to Milan, whore sho
became the pupil of Iloncom,
Her dtdmt in opera was made at Marseilles, in tho
11 Huguenots,” in the year 1845. She was imme
diately afterwards engaged at-the celebrated theatre
of La Seals, in Milan, where sho gathered laurels
from the most discriminating musical audionces iu
tho world, winning universal admiration by the
simplicity and naturalness of her manner and tho
purity of her voice. The season of 1846 sho passed
at Vienna, and after haring made the tour of the
principal eitioc of Italy, smul* htr first appenrnneo
in London in 1819. Two yeurs Inter sho left Eu
rope for the United States, and arrived in this city
in the fall of 1851. milking her first appearance in
New York in a concert at Triplor Hall, where the
Lafarge Hotel now stands, llur successful career
in this country is well known, She seldom appeared
in opera while in tho United prcfvmug io
appear in concerts, following in this the example Of
her Swedish rival, who had just preceded her.
While here she became attached to her agent, Mr.
Bushnell. a professional man, whom she subsequent
ly married. She afterwards visited California, the
frmdwicli Islands, Australia, nnd India, returning
to London, \vh<?r<? she appeared nt Covcnt Harden
in 1555. At a little later period her husband died.
Her voice wns a soprano of great compass and
strength, very smooth, and remarkably flexible.
In opera her most successful rales were Lucia, in
“ LueindiLnmmeriuoor.” nnd liWit.in li Lindadi
Charaouni.” She appeared occasionally in English
opera, with Miss Novello, where her usual success
attended her. In the judgment of some, however,
she wns better in concert than on the stage, and
certainly in the national melodies of her country
Miss Ilayes had no rival.
The news which brings us the sad intelligence of
her death does not tell us where it occurred, though
it was, most probably, in England or Ireland; in
her own sorrowful land, perhaps, whore sho first
drew inspiration from tho molting strains of a Ca
rolan and the. touching versos of a Moore.—AW
York Herald.
Governor Meriwether on Bible Affairs—
Aiiuaham and Lot. —Meriwether is an cx-Go-
TOrnor of Kentucky, nnd a warm advocate of the
secession of Kentucky. He has written an argu
ment in support of it, in which, like some other po
liticians. perhaps to entrap the &iwpl«-Ucarted of
the State, he makes some draughts upon his little
Biblical knowledge to illustrate his position. The
result is as might be expected.
The Governor says that we should do with tho
South as Abram did with Lot. Lot peaceably ‘‘se
ceded*’ from Abrain and settled in “ the cities of
the plain and pitched his tent toward Sodom.”
Our friend Ilnracy, who h»3 considerable advantage
over the Governor in Bible matters, in reply 10 the
Governor, said that Lot did not make much by his
“secession” and Abram into Sodom. Divine ven
geance visited a catastrophe on Lot’s territory of
secession. What do the Secessionists think of Gor.
Meriwether’s stigma upon secession, in comparing
it to Sodom and Gomorrah ? However, we suppose
they know but little on such subjects.
Ifl Governor Meriwether’s Bible argument Abra
ham rojiresonts the Union, and? Lot represents Se
cession. We accept the parable. The Governor
must not mangle the Word of God. Since he ap
peals to a part, he must take the whole, and he,
must remember that, after Lot had gone off on Se
cession. “ the Lord said to Abraham, lift up npw
thine eyes and look from the place where thou art,
northward, and southward, and eastward, and west
ward ; For all the land which thou sees!, fo thoo
will I give it, and to thy seed forever. And I will
make thy seed as the dust of the earth, so that if a
man can number the dust of the earth, then shall
thy seed be numbered.” — Louisville Journal.

The Navy Department lias ordered a survey
to be held on the United States sailing frigate Con
gress. fifty guns, which has just returned from the
Brazil .squadron. An estimate is to be made of the
amount of expenditure necessary to- put her ini
mediately in £<*a-jjjoing c-onijitimi. «lld il will I>C
forwarded to Washington -with the report of tho
siuvey. About one hundred of the CTCW, and a few
officers, wish to leave the navy—for a time at least—
but there is very little chance- that their desire will
be gratified.
But One Hope for the Republic.—The
New York Leader says: ‘‘'There is but one hope
for the Republic. It must assert itself, crush out
rebellion, and compel the four and respect of it 3
enemies abroad and at home, or it is lost! There
is wo middle ground —ihsro if* no middle course.
Let the men of the people shake off this discou
ragement. and recognize at once our// nty and our
power to triumph, and the work will soon he done.
Then, the duty of the present met. we enu easily
take care of the future.”

MARINE DISASTER.
Letter to the Secretary of the Treasury relative to a Search
for a supposed Shoal on the Coast of Virginia.
CoAiT SruvEY Office, Aug 6, 1861,
Sir: ttmvc the honor to report that on the 15th of .Time
T received, through the courtesy of Lieutenant J M Giles,
U S N, Superintendent ot the National Observatory, a
notice communicated by the first officer of the American
ship “Simoon, ’’ relative to the supposed discovery of a
rock or shoal off the coast of Virginia. The position
given by the log of tho Simoon, which struck three times
when within sight of Cape Henry, is “seventeen to
nineteen miles south of Cape Henry, and Bcnui or eight
oft’ shored* The -p*vrttculara ore stated as follows*
“The shoal or lump has 24 feet on it—as she struck aft
between the seas—it being nearly high water, the sea mo
derate. Threw the lead as soon as possible—no bottom
at 12 fathoms—it cannot be more than 150 feet across, as
we denied it in three seas. We named it the Simoon
Sho.il. Our pilot said that some years since a ship load
ed with guano struik somewhat near the place and sunk;
l*ut as no s-liusil !*.» found, coiiclmi«>*l it was Inis.-.
(‘apt Smith nays lie lm.< wnco learned that it occurred
Wilhhi the last six months.’ 5
Lieutenant- Commanding Phelps, in the Coast Survey
steamer Vixen, was reiim-sted to examine the ground in
Question, and reported the lesnß outlie 2ilh of July.
Tin* following are exlracis from his report:
«‘I have thoroiigblv explored the. vicinity of the sup
posed Simoon Shoal on the const of Virginia, nml am
perfectly satisfied that no such shunl exists in that lo
cality.”
t;An nron nf twelve north n-yul hy f*ix mites
east and wort vat carefully examined, and the least wat-j-r
found, beyond three miles from the shore, was seven
fathoms. If the Simoon was over Three miles from shore
when she struck, ray belief is that she touched on a
sunken vessel.”
I would respectfully roQiiest authority to publish the
substance of this communication as a Notice to mariners.
Very respectfully, . A. 1). IJACHE,
Supt. U. S. Coast Survey.
Hon. S. r. Chase, Secretary of the Treasury.
