FEARFUL LOSS OF LIFE

The Firs: iakhng wfhnneatable news
received here last night, by the Long Is
land R-ilroad train, which brought" intelli
gence that the new and elegant steamer
Adaatle was ashore on Fiber's Island,
nearly opposite New London in the Sound.
An extra from the New London News
Office, dated on Thursday afternoon says:
At 10 oV.ock this morning the At! lis
came down from Ailyn's Point, and had
ercat difficulty in landing on account of
he violence 7 the gale. After Lmdmg
he started for New lork.
Ths Mjbejan, due here at 3 o'clocn,
arrircd at this morning, having anchor
ed several hours under Charles Wand.
Earlv this morning it was rumored that
a steamer v-as ashare on Fisher's Island,
opposite North Hut, and not tx from the
South Dumpling, and by the aid o! glasses
ii was ascertained to be t!ie Atlantic. As
seen as the Mnhcgan arrived, Capt. Van
Pel: determined to attempt to relieve her.
TheM. has jr.it returned (all P. M.)
and reports Ike Atlantic to be at anchor a
bout a quarter cf a mile from the share,
arid apparently riding with ease.
Her smoke pipes and paddle boxes were
one, supposed to have been removed y,
prevent the anion of the wind from driv
ing her ashore. The Mohegan, owing to
ihe violence of the gale, could hold no
MMiriMitraiion with those on l)oard, and
could learr. r.e facts in -relation to her get
ling into such a situation.
it is supposed, from the position she
was first been in, that she had made some
progress up the Sound, when some part
if her machinery breaking she was com
pelled to anchor, and the fierceness of the
gale drove her on a lee shore.
On Friday steamer New Haven crime
down from Ailyn's Point to New London
for the purpose of going to the relief of
the Atlantic, but the weather was so bois
terous that the attempt was abandoned.
During the course of the evening, the
steamer Massachusetts, from Stoning'on,
arrived here, and reported that the Atlan
tic wasa total wreck, nothing being left
but the wheel-house and engine, which
were washed ashore above high water
mark. The Massa-lmsetts passed lb-;
Atlantic on Thursday afternoon, at a dis
tance of alout three quarters of a mile, at
which time her smoke pipes were down,
end she appeared to be -.ground and drag
ging ; but the wind was so high, and the
rea so rough, the captain cf the- Massachu
setts dared not go any closer to her.
On the return, the Massachusetts pass
ed within half a mile of the wreck, near
cnouz'u Car those on hoard lu see pciaoils
ou the .shore, supposed to be a part of the
passengers, but the ga'e was stili so vio
lent as to forbid any nearer approach.
Th-ee accounts, vague as they were,
prepared the public mind for a tale of dis
aster which has been more than realized
this morning. By the Long Island rail
road this morning the following extra was
received from the ofiice of the New Lon
don Ne ws :
Our worst fears are more than realized.
The awful gale of Thursday, the 2Gth,
which we gave an account of in our paper
this morning, and in which the splendid
steamer Atlantic was driven ashore, h;is
brought sorrow and sadness to many
hearts.
This day, at half past 2 o'clock, the
steamer Mc began returned from the scene
of the wreck, where she went this morn
ing about 8 o'clock. She has brought up
TWENTY-TWO DEAD BODIES.
As was previously surmised, a part of
the Atlantic's machinery gave out on
Thursday night the steam box burst
shortly after the left New London, being
wrenched apart by the heavy sea; and
letting go her anchor, she drifted to with
in a quarter of a mile of Fisher's Island
shore where she was riding at anchor
when the Mohegan went down lo her ou
Thursday noon.
This (Friday) morning, at 4. i o'clock,
she went ashore, and lias gone entirely lo
pieces.
The persons who lost their lives did so
in attempting to get ashore.

It has already been stated in our col
umn that for a number of days preceding
the Il:h of October, rain fell" in torrents
in many parts of France, and particular
k the ralley of the Loire. On the after
coon of that day, the river and its tributa
ries began to rise, and in the course of a
few hours, the inundation was most awful.
Propcr.y to the extent of mi Lous of francs
was destroyed thousands of cattle per
ishedand hundreds of human lives lost.
Whole hamlets were swept awav, and
scveralviliages were completely submer
ged. The Paris correspondent of the
iicston Atlas says "that the large cities cf
Nar.tes ri3 Blots of Tours, Orleans, and
Nevers, were, in many parts of them, un

property, that millions of dollars cannot
repair it; and such a loss of life was there

GTURE OF TAHRCO.
By the arrival cf the U. S. stealer
i Pa??, news was received in the city yes
terday of the capture cf Tampico by the
United States squadron cn the I lib i.ust.
We announced in yesterday morning's e
dition of the Picayune the departure of
the squadron from Anto i Lizardo upon
tins rxpeiiition, r.na t;ciore the uay was
over the success of the enterprise. The
fleet sailed under Com. Connor cn the
1 1th and 12th iast. On the Mth Com.
Perry crossed the bar with the tSpitfire,
Vixen, Petrel, Boahn end Reefer, reinfor
ced from the Cumberland. Mississippi,
Princeton and St. Mary's. There whs
no opposition made to the American anns.
The town was surrendered unconditional
ly, the garrison having been previously
withdrawn.
The Mississippi sailed immediately fer
the Balize for troops to garrison the city.
In coming hither Oom. Perry touched at
the Brazos and despatched a lieutenant lo
Hen. Patterson's camp lo obtain troops
for the garrison. The Mississippi then
came to the Bdiz? for the same object.
Wc learn from proper sources that about
one hundred and fiky men, recruited for
the 1st and 3d Infantry, will be despatch
ed immediately for Tampico. A detach
ment of these troops ha.3 already arrived;
Hie remainder arc expected to-day or to
morrow. Besides these, four companies
of the new regiment of mounted rifiamen.
under M;.jor B.irbridg-', will he rent to
Tampico as soon us theynrrhc. They
are hourly looked for.
Cap!. Jletzel, of the Quartermaster's
Department, has been despatched to Ba
ton R.-vage for ordinance and mtmithms,
and Ccpt. Barnard, of the Enj? inters, will
repair to Tampico to superintend the e
rreiir. and ai miner of the neecssarv de-
w j
h nc cr.
Although the city was taken without
the loss of blood, his manifest that it is
not to he surrendered without a stnerirl?
before peace is declared. The town is
now ;n the possession of the marines and
sailors of the lleet, who cannot be uvil
spared from their ship?. As soon as the
place is sufficiently garrisoned by land
tores, the squadron will proceed to other
tiiibiiiess. A change has come over the
dee:, and we dout t not of its future use-
tmness. Many of our naval officers re
gret t.iat Tampico was surrendered with
... t.i i I. , . .
""l n is welt enough as it is.
tVe mcime to the opinion that the rdace
will become of the utmost, consequence to
1. 1 .ynj:ii.:i5 upon me mtencr.
The withdrawal of the Mexican garrison
is evidence that Santa Anna is making
preparations for a demonstration upon a
large scale in the direction of San Luis Po
tosi or Saltillo more probably at the for
mer.

Major General Scott,
This h)e heed of our Army is new
in this city, at the City Hotel, en rovlt
for the South and seat of war. A report
is current that he wiii leave to-day in the
Southerner, for Charleston ; but this, wc
are assured, is a m's'aki.
Of course nothing deSnito can be known
of the ord';r: under vh:ch Gen. Scott is t
act, hut there seem.-: to he iitue doubt dial
h:s iU s'imst-on is Tampico, and that the
reln.ijrecme;:!-ordered are to act under him
there, for the purpose o If effecting a junc
tion vidi Gen. Taylor at San Luis Poto
si. The Government, we suspect, have
abandoned the idea of an immediate march
from Monterey to San Luis Poiosi. not
only on account of the distance (30
f. miles) and the great difficulty of obtaining
water ou the route, but or. account ol tue
necessity, if it is attempted, of doubling
or tripling the force under Taylor's com
mand. Tampico, therefore, we presume
is to be the Sine of operations, and Gen.
Scott, reinforced bv regulars from Gen.
Taylor's division, and by Gen. Wool,
will probably advance, we believe, from
(hat point to S-.n Luis Potosi, ?nd meet
Santa Anna. On ti.is route there is an
abundance of water from the ritcr Panu
co, and its tributaries, and the distance
only 150 miles. Ii is highly proper that I
Gen. Scott, outranking Gen. lavlor and
Gen. Wool, should be put al the head of
this expedition, inasmuch as the co-operation
of the three distant divisions will be
necessary, but it is not understood that
he is to supersede Gen. Taylor; though
he would outrank him by seniority in the
same field of operations. Afser die junc
tion at San Luis Poiosi, and the probable
capture of the city of Vera Cruz, it is pro
bable that if peace is not made, a serious
etlort will be made upon the city cf Mex
ico. A lew days ao, it is stated, the Presi
dent and War Secretary sent for General
Scott to consult with him and receive his
plan of operations, under the present exi
gencies of the war. He detailed them, they
were accepted, and be was given a rare
f'ttaicJie for their execution, in person, if
he c) io.se. The War Department, we
have every reason to believe, acknowl
edges itself under the greatest obligations
to General Scott for the efficient services
he has rendcrc.l, in the conduct cf the
war the lines of his march, ihe appor
tionment of the troops, the points of at
tack, and the arrangement for supplies of
the several detachments of the army of
occupation and invasion. And it is said
to be the express wish of General Taylor
that Gen. Scott should take the command.
There is the most cordial good feeling
between the two officers. We are chad
to see, even at this late d-.y, that a plan
for a campaign is set ferdi, which can
meet with some approbation from the
C0l,niIT-
1 ersons acquainted with the entire sub-:
jcet, are of opinion that despatching so ; in an adjoining county in Ohio, in the
many troops as were sent by Government ! way ol slaughtering Sheep, feeding
to Santa Fe was wholly unnecessary;! Hogs with the offal, rendering the crreass
mat it was needless to order Kearney a- j into Tallow, curing the Hams for market
cross the mountsins and deserts to Cr.hfor-j and preparing the Pelts in a merehanta
nia ; that the expedition to Chihuahua has f ble manner for market. Last season a
no object, and can obtain no object of the j bout 20,000 Sheep were thui " mamifac
least value; and finally, that pushing on to ! tured." This year 1000 Hogs are be
Monterey was equally unwise. Their j ing fattened from the offial at one cstab-
opmion is that one thousand men only i
should have been sent to Santa Fe ; that '
two thousand should have been left to gar
rison the Rio Grande; and that the weight
of our forces should have been concentra
ted for a blow at the

The war, as it has been maneged, will f

T2IE
ggTThe Washington Fountain learns
from the very best aathcrity, that all idea
ol a peace with the Mexicans upon trie
present plan of operations h;:s been utter
ly abandoned by the gc-Ycr:im:.'nt that it
has been determined to lake r.t hazards
the Castle of Sin Juan d'U-Ioa, and to oc
cupy it and the pert of Vera Cruz until
our stubborn enemy shall be reduced lo
submission that Tampico, Mazatlan, Al
varado, Tobasco, Campeac.hy, and every
other Mexican pert at which trade can be
carried on, is to be seized and held by our
forces that Ce:i. .Taylor has been en
trusted with full power znd positive or
ders to harass and destroy the enemy in
every possible way, and so seen as the
new reinforcements, which are to be in
creased immediately to the utmost point
allowed by lw. thail reach the scene cf
operations, to march to the city of Mexi-
co that no quarter, consistent with the
rules of civilized warfare, is to be given
hereafter to le enemy until he sues for
peace, and shall make restitution far the
entire expenses of the war; and finally
Gen. Scott is to be sent lo the seat of war,
(invested with the largest discretion,) to
direct the operations of die Army of In
vasion." In addition, wc find the following in the
Baltimore American:
'Some important conversations of a semi-official
character have recently been
held in the Executive Mansion and Exe
cutive Departments, growing out of our
relations with .Mexico. Several interest
ing communications were made and con
elusions arrived at on Saturday evening.
Most of those present wer officers of the
Navy, but among those who were not was
Gen. Scott. The joint adwee wisely
jziven and well received, I believe, was
that there should be all possible vigor im
parted bodi to the operation.- of the Army
and Navy, and as far as possible, that the
one should aid vnd sustain the other. The
failures of the two attacks upon Alvarado,
and the co;!cequeeee? of these reverses,
have put more public spi'-it into the coun
sels of the Government than die combined
victories by the bind forces from May to
September. The most important deter
mination aimed at is to send more vessels
and vessels o? more power to ihe Gulf.
A ship of ihe line will be cn the ground
as early i s practicable."
Tjil- CiiommA. A London le'ter, pub
lished in the N. Y. Journal of Commerce,
says
I tckl you a few weeks back, on the au
thority of the celebrated Dr. Ryan, thai
the Asiatic Ch!e;-3 was silently, slowly,
but sure'r approaching Europe. The
accounts which you received bv the last
steamer, showed this sinuous and fatal
oregrees from Seinde, in British India,
unto Persia, where it struck down prince
and peasant, the latter in vaat numbers.
It is now hovering over the frontiers of
Russia and Turkey; making frightful rav
ages, and stealthily moving onwards, de
fying check or control. The British gov
ernment arc goin to send a medical com
mission into Turkey and Russia, to exam
ine the cases and report upon the pesti
lence, to the Privy Council, nhieh is now
the organized board of health for the whole
country. Should the? scourge arrive in
Europe, it v. ill prove an awful visitation,
particularly when forming a junction with
the murrain now affecting cattle, and the
disease extirpating the potato.
tO1" A letter-writer for the Baltimore
American says that there is a model cf
San Juan d'Uiloa in the office of the Ch:cf
Engineer Department. It is a very thor
ough piece ol work, and seems to have
brought all who have examined it to the
conclusion thai it would be almost a wan
ton waste of "life to attempt to take the
Caode. There is a competent scientific
rs well as numerical force within, to de
fend it, and the artificial means of defence
are, among many other things, no less
than two hundred and four mounted guns,
some of them of the heaviest calibre, and
many of them directed by skilful French
officers. It vas never so strongly defend
ed before as at present, and is a complete
Gibraltar. It mi?ht be taken, but it would
be trilling with life to attempt it.

INDIAN WAR.
The intelligence recently received from
different sections of the frontier, says the
Houston (Texas) Telegraph, indicates
but too plainly that another Indian war is
about to be kindled with severa'ofiheprai
rie tribes. The Wiehitas have commen
ced hostilities in Fannin county, on the
extreme'nonhern frontier, and the Wacoes
and Ionies have also showed symptoms
of hostiiiy. The Towaceanics and the
northern bands will probably soon be
