lUMXK or THE SHIP NEW ERA.
■Dreadful Less of l ife.
We nnbtfebed the tact yesterday that the
„"%?• En,, Opt. firm v, of lU M.„
lit] from Bremen to New Y<tt k, with -iSO
Sneers, was ashore near Deal, on the .New
V"" evV-ast. The following thrilling account
of this frightful disaster we copy from the New
York Herald :
The ship New Era was built by Messrs. Ilitch
rk & Co."during the present year. She was
.• | ton s burthen, and was valued at seventy
one thousand dollars. About the 22d of Sept.
%ht , from the Fort ot Bremen, unch r
command of G>pt. Henry, on her first voyage,
.• r } he port of New York, having a heavy insu
rance effected in Bath, Me., and Boston, with
Xpres amounting to nearly six thousand dol
lars secured in Wall street. The emigrants were
all Germans. .After a somewhat tedious pas
:U< the New Era came fully in sight of land
about mid-dav on Sunday, the 12th iust., and,
continuing her course in a dense fog, she ran
ashore between Deal and Long Branch, during
the same night.
At nt an early hour yesterday morning she
was perceived lying with broadside to shore,
with a heavy sea'on, u hich was breaking over
her, and washing her decks. At 12 o'clock,
noon, there were perceptible signs of her break-
up. From the moment she was seen, eve
ry^effort was made by the people on shore to
Mve the passengers. Early in the afternoon
th.'V had succeeded in passing lines to the ship,
im d in a short time after Captain Henry, with
twenty of the passengers, was landed in safety.
From them it was learned that, before they (
Jeft the vessel, over one hundred and fifty of the j
remaining passengers were dead, having been ,
either smothered between the decks, drowned i
|,v the flow of water, (which was continually j
surfing over them.) or been swept overboard. !
Renewed exertions were made from the beach :
to >ave the baliance of the people on bouid, but
up to the moment of our last accounts, they j
were attended with very little success.
As the emigrants on board were all Germans,
it is nmst likely that we shall never be able to
find out the list of the nanu s of the people who
have been suddenly lost; and this fatal ship
wreck will in all probability, have to be classed
nntong the sorrowful reminiscences attending
the loss of the Powhattan, 011 tin* same shore,
when not even a human being was left to tell
the sad tale of the calamity.
The Now Era is aground on the Jersey shore,
between Deal and Long Branch, about fifteen
miles helow Sandy Hook, and neat ly thirty-five
miles (rem New York. The beach is sandy,
bleak, and at this season of the year very dan
gerous. Shrewsbury Inlet is on one side of the
vessel, and Shark Inlet and the rugged beach of
S jitari on the other.
Accounts to seven o'clock last evening stated
that several steam tugs were lying bv the ves
sel, but tliev could m t approach near enough
to rentier any help, owing to the rough state of
the weather. The ship was going to pieces.

NEAR LONG BRANCH, NOV. 13, 3 P. M.
*••***
About S o'clock, came in sight of the wreck
lying broad-side to the beach, heading south,
with lore, main, and mi/.en topsails close reefed
still standing. On reaching he/, she proved to
be ievel with the water and full, and the swell
breaking 1:1 heavy surges across Iter decks. VYe
had already passed many pieces of the wreck,
and half a mile on we saw the body of a little
child, apparently about four or live years old,
and quick succession also that of a man, strije
j.ed of clothing, and others with clothes on—
four or live bodies in all. As we approached i
the wreck, so as to get a nearer view, a most
harrowing spectacle met the eyes.
Thejib-bbom, rigging and top of the ship,
f ire and aft, were tilled with human beings;
closely packed together, and clinging to each '
other and to the ropes, while the ship surged to j
and fro with each returning wave, which broke j
into spray far into the rigging and over the;
ship, drenching and suffocating the passengers,
while the poor creatures tilled the air with the j
most soui-harrowing and pitiful outcries for as- j
mstance. On the beach were some two hun
dred persons, gathered in groups, apparently
consulting as how to act, while others .-at hi
surely upon the gunwale of the boats, which the
heavy surl rendered it certain destruction to
launch.
We saw several b< ats ujxin the shore, appa
rently well adapted !<>r the purpose; and a
crowd of persons dragging a long lile-boat to
wards the beach, where it was lett, and no fur
ther attempt was made to launch it.
He saw no line from the ,-l!ip to the shore,
and no life-car. From the fact that what aje
leared the ship's boat was lying on the beach,
we judged the oiiicers and crew or most of them,
must have landed or been thrown ashore in, her.
'he tide was now at about its full—the wind
had died away, and a light breeze sprung up
bom off shore, which greatly increased our
hopes that the swell would go down with the
hde, and render it possible for the boats to lie
Lunched from the shore. As to ourselves, we
found we could do nothing.
btiii hoping for a movement towards launch
in; the hoats from shore, we continued painful
spectators of the scenp, ringing our bell to en
tourage them, and beckoning to then) on shore
t > launch the boats. When our wheels were put
"i motion to adjust the position of the steamer,
•he passengers, apparently fearing we were a
ait to leave them, would rend the air with
imploring cries, while others tolled the ship's
I' 1 '", the sounds ol which were borne to us a
'ne the waitings of the surf that swei4 over the
ship.
He were near enough to distinctly see wo-
Holding their little ones with one hand,
M the other, bleached by the spray,, clung
u lt.i a death grip to the ratlines on which they

a few moments ago, a group of four,
' ,in ging to tik- stay, but they are now gone—
• " sweii has probably swept them away.—
.in nve been seen to tall from the iibboon into
the surt.
i i.uj we have looked on, unable to approach
yip. (.apt. Reynolds twice hailed them
a shore, and asked them to launch the
"N us the surf, to us, seemed to be now su(-
y"-nUv smooth to do so on the lee side of the
''s 'th in( '' u S " iat we could do nothing, and
, t e sun went down, seeing the boat
I, P°H the beach, we left to
I • y•* ofe boats, making signals to the wreck
t! ;; return immediately. Meantime
fin , l ' s^ari a ' ;io arrived opposite the wreck,
i 'iiit'ourselves, bad no boats to render any
assistance.
On our way tip wesoon rrn t the Hector,hav
ing in t( >\v a wrecking schooner, in charge of
Captain Bowne, and with it we went back to
the wreck. On reaching it,Gapt. Bowne in
formed US that although he had boats, In- had
not two men who could pull an oar, and ask
ing if any on board would go with hitn in the
boat ! j replied, "Here is one," and Mr. Has
kell volunteered to do tin-same.
(.apt. Reynolds then informed Capt. Bowen
that he could get men to man is life boat by
coming alongside of the Achilles. We then
made preparations to join Capt. Bowne, but to
our surprise he pulled away from us toward
theship, leaving word for the Achilles to return
to the city. Thus a large and powerful tout,
with plenty of accommodations tor the rescued
passengers was sent to town, and the Hector,
a comparatively slow and unsuitable boot is re
tained.
At 8j o'clock, when we left tfie wreck, the
wind was blowing fresh from the westward,
and it was thought would soon reduce Ike-swell,
j but with the darkness to contend with, and
short-handed, it must be impossible to take off
the passengers—and many more must inevitag
ply perish from exposure during the dreary
: darkness that has now closed over them.
EMAS SMITH.
The Luted from the. Wreck.
SEVEN o'clock, P. M.—The ship remains in
the same position as before reported, broadside
to the sea, which runs mountain high, and ren
ders it impossible for the tug boats to render as
sistance. The sea is breaking over the wreck
and before dark we could gee every available
space in the rigging filled with probably some
two hundred persons. No less probably than
seventy-five have already been washed over
board, and from present indications a great
many more will be hurled into the sea before
any effectual assistance can he rendered.
Alljdie balls at the station were shot over the
ship without being able to send a line on board
from the shore, except in one case, when a life
boat was immediately sent out to the wreck, and
Capt. Henry and right or ten others got into it:
but it was immediately capsized and turned
completely over twice. Capt. Henry and four
otiiers clung to the boat and succeeded in reach
ing the shore. Unfortunately, at the time the
lite boat capsized, the cable from the shore to the
ship gave way, and there was then no remedy
but to send to another station and procure more
balls for the purpose ot throwing another line
over the wreck, and not an instant was lost in
sending to the nearest file-boat station for this
piir|Kise.
The ship is a perfect wreck, and there is not
the least hope of saving anything.
Should tin* heavy sea continue during the
night it is scarcely possible that more than a
very lew ot the passengers now on hoard or
holding on to the rigging can be saved—and it
is not at all improbable that every soul will be
washed overboard before daylight.
All the passengess are Dutch and German,
and as there is no one hear who understands
their language, we are not aide to obtain from
those who reached the shore any information
in regard of the condition of things on board
which undoubtedly is bad enough. ...
Captain Henry is active and ener<>ftic in ef
forts to extend his relief to his suffering passen
gers and crew.
The ship went on this morning at about 7
o'clock in a dense fog.
[A later despatch states that the ship was sit
ing, and at eight o'clock was nearly level with
the sea, which was then making a clean breach
over Iter, and it was not thought • possible that
the passengers could hold on much longer. A
second line had been thrown from the shore ac
cross the deck of the ship, but the passengers
and crew appear to have been too much exhaus
ted to avail themselves of it, and when the last
messenger left the scene of the disaster, the gen-
eral opinion was that the ship must go to pieces
very speedily, and in that ease probably every
soul on hoard would lie los'.J
Early yesterday afternoon, information reach
ed this city that a largo ship, name then un
known, was aground about four miles south of
Long Branch, on the Jersv thore. near to Sandy
Hook, and that she lay in a very dangerous po
sit ion.
Tow-arils one o'clock we I. arned that this ves
sel was the New Era, lately built in Hath, Me.,
which had sailed from Bremen, with three hun
dred and eighty passengers tor .New York.
At the moment that this information u as for
warded us, all the passengers were on board.—
They were crowding tlie deck, apparently in
great terror and alarm: but it did not then ap
pear horn the shore that there would he any loss
ol I lie, much less a total shipwreck, although
the sen at this time was verv high, and no boat
from shore—not even a steamer —could com
municate with trie ship.

" DR. HOOFLAKD'S GERMAN HITTERS. —
This celebrated medicine, prepared by J>r. C. M.
JACKSON, nr the imposing German Medicine Store,
No. 120 ARCH street, is exciting unprecedented pub
lic attention, and the proprietor, who is a scientific
physician, is selling immense ijuantitics of it. The
virtues of this remedy are so fully set forth in the ex
tended notice of it, to be seen in our advertising col-,
urnris, that there is hardly any room left for us to
speak of it. This much we may add—Of the long
Train of physical ills to which humanity is heir, there
is none more distressing than general derangement
of the digestive apparatus, which never fails to ac
con;|Ki!iy a disordered state of the liver. Headache,
piles, languor, frettulness, a billions tougue, a mor
bid breath, loss of apppetite.— in short, an indescri
bable wretchedness of existence, are its insufferable
and life-wasting attendants. These diseases, which
have baffled the skill of the ablest Doctors, have been
radically cured by Hoofi-and's German Bitters."—
