Mr. Forsyth, however, whs unwilling to slaughter himself in this fashion, and responded to the letter of the committee In the following strain: riiiLADKLi'iMA, Aug. r, lHtft. Gentlemen :-Your note, per subcommittee, of tho ftth inst., was received by mo reuuextinK my attendance on your body to swear that I will abide by your decisions, and support the nominees of the Democratic party. In answer, permit mo to reply that I am always willing to abide by your decisions when legally ami fairly given, nd that I huve always and ever eipoet to support the regular nominees of tlio Democrntiu party. Yet, I muit eniiress a regret that I cannot allow my nomination as a candidate tor the Legislature in tho Thirteenth Itoprenen tative district (,to which I presume you refer in your note) t be called in question by any action of your body My reasons, 1 may suite, in brief are, that in lx-W I so re ferred a contest for a like nomination, to which 1 was fairly and justly entitled. Tho matter was roforred by yon to a suli conimittee, a majority of which onnmittoo reported that I was entitled to the nomination ; yet in tho face of all parliamentary usage and right, at the instiga tion of a potential inombsr of your body from the Fourth ward, you rejected their report and decided adversely to me Vet another reason I may mention, that the prece dents of our city and county conventions warn mo to trust moietothe honest and fair-minded men of my district I tlan to billow the vum hope ot expecting an impartial decision from yon. ,...,. . The people of my district refuse to allow mo to rnfor my ennnntion to von, and in their hands I have placed my self. The shortness of the time between your note and tunc of meeting will not allow mo to place before you .fur .our iitfiniiiiititiit such testimony as will convince nil that read of my just claim to my nomination, and to place tiie matter beyond a question of doubt. In conclusion, permit mo to express a hope that you may so decide upon the various questions in dismite among tur candidates as to secure Harmony, goodwill, una suc cess in our coming election. Remaining yours most ro upectfully, John Fohsyth, Candidate for the Legislature, Xllltli Representative District. . To tho City Executive Committee, Democratic Tarty. The committee thereupon threw Forsyth over Vsiard entirely, and declared Mullln the regular can didate of tho party. The chances of Mr. Joseph A. Geisz, the Republican candl'la-isia this district, may therefore be considered as slightly above par. A LFTTEK Anort HestkR VAV'iHAN the case of the young woman llester VaugHan, who was tried and sentenced to death for the murder of her baby nome months since, but was subsequently pardoned by the Governor, is familiar to all our residents. A friend of hers has addressed the following letter to the New York World: I'nn.ADf i.t'iiiA, Aug. .. Sir: New York ladies have endeavored to . pet the address of Hester Vaughan, which the wi lier could have given them, but wae prevented from doing so from sheer mortill catiou. Had she done so she would have been com pelled to acknowledge the fact that, after the great wrong done Hester Vaughan, there was not one in dividual in this State who voluntarily came forward with the offer of a dollar to replace the clothing that was stolen from her. or offered to contribute and send Hester Vaughan to her parents. From this charge I may except a whole-souled Irishwoman, who tame to the writer with a dollar in hut hand, which, contribution, under the circumstances, 1 de clincd'.to receive. I thank God that HesteB is now with Iter parents, though she is poor, with a shat tered constitution, and her reputation damned for life. f Where is1 the father of Hester's child f No doubt he is occupying a high social position, And will pro bably vote next fall for Governor Geary in gratitude lor liiB banishmcnt'ul.llester Vauglujrf. I shall be pleased to""friitoiterVaughan's address to any one who may feel an interest in her. The following is an extract from a letter received by me from Hester Vaughan, dated at Liverpool, June 9, 1W.9: "I am not able to go home yet; I am too weak to travel. I would be obliged to you if you could get that money from New York for me, as what I had when I came away Is all gone. I had to buy such things as 1 could eat, for I could not eat the ship's provisions. Hkstkr Vauuhan." The following is from a letter dated July, lscs: "Home at my father's. I had a hard time to get along, as I was so sick, I thank you for what you sent me. I should be glad to get the money from New York. Hkstkk Vai'oh an."' SfSAS A. Smith. M.

Aimin the wild waters of the ocean have made sat havoc with the work of man. Not all the Ingenuity, skill, and enterprls of tht human mind could pre vail against their power. Whenever for a series of months there Is no terrtMe disaster at sea to be de tailed to an awe-stricken public, one settles uown almost to the belief that the progress of civilization Is about to triumph over the terrific forces of nature. But soon we are aroused bwI the foolhardiness, the self-complacency of man Is terribly made apparent. It is but a few months ago that the I'nlted Kingdom steamed out of this harbor with flags waving cheerily In the breeze and her freight of human beings rejoicing and congratulat ing themselves at the prospect or a speen.v return to tiie mountain ranges 01 ricouiiini. Alas! man may hope and wish and make his calculations for the Immediate future, as If he could command the powers and forces of nature, but often, and only too often, he Is mined by his utter inability to coiinleraet them, ana Is made to feel his own insignificance, the poverty of his own pigmy strength. Merrily and cheerily as the I'nlted Kingdom sailed from our shores, no human eye will ever see her again, no human e it will listen to the haTowing tales of her passengers, no human voice w l e ve an account of her last (lavs ami tne sutl'crings of her lust moments. She Is gonf and the bed of the ocean will not surrender its prey. WHKl'K OK THE STEAMSHIP liKRMAMA. As If again to remind us of the weakness of man, the sea has demanded another Involuntary tribute to lis iiiieoi)(uerable power. It was not an old vessel, which has long bulivted the winds and the waves, nnd has grown less stauiuh in the many contests than when llrst. launched from the stocks. It. wss comparatively a new vessel, built of material and anon a luonel which it was lie evcil could wunsiiinu any attack of the ocean, no matter how violent.

Treuimsy, off t hm coast. Tho passengers nnd crew huve necn fnven. a sieanier una Deeu aent tlicro to brinv thou to tins port. K. 11. t'HOWSK, The locality given in the above despatch is near 1 ape i;accaim soniewnat to the northwest of it. on the southwestern coast line of Newfoundland. Trc passy Bay is situated in longitude ,3 no west of i.recnwicn (iioont vo east of Wash ntrtoni. and about 46 r.O north latitude. No particulars of the disaster, no precise statement. 01 the cause of t. have been received, but it is presumed bv some of those who, as seafaring men, know the surroundings of that part of the Newfoundland coast, that, the (iermania must have run, or rather been driven, upon a rock during the night by the tremendous sea just now mging there. When the above despatch became known it created quite an excitement, lor though atllrming that the passengers and crew were saved from the crunmling wreck, it did not state whether they were brought to the shore or still left to treacherous fortune upon the seething waves in open boats. A second des patch, however, dispelled all these doubts. It reail : Sr. John's, N. F., Aue. In, lsil'i. -Tho passennors ami crow with hucc Hsfully lamlo i at Tropiessy, ami u tun has tfone to tbeir assihtance. This was assurance that the entire number or human beings who had left New York on Ilie ves sel were safely returned to dry land, and would soon be taken care of by the agents ol the company. The apprehensions, if any were yet felt by those who had friends, relatives, or even acquaintances on board, were further quieted by learning of the receipt or the following: St. Johns, N. F., Auk. 10-8-13 P. M. To Kuhnhanlt A Co., Jew York : Tho passengers anH crow are still at the scene of the week. A tu lol't tins mornmir to brine what she can carry here. K. II. PRO VVSE. The latest information is that the (iermania is a complete wreck, that she is breaking up and fast disappearing under the continuous shocks of the tre mendous blows of the waves breaking up against and over her. One despatch last evenieg expressed the belief that besides the passengers and crew tho mails were also brought safely to land, but nothing upon which this belief could rest was mentioned. The vessel, cargo, and specie are a total loss, and In all probability also the baggage of the passengers, who, ir the disaster happened at night, as appears to have been the fact, must have been in their berths, and very likely could save but little or their ward robe. KEI.IEF NEAR. The clmhria, belonging to the same company the Hamburg-American sailed yesterday at 2 P. M., it being her regular sailiug day. The general agents, Messrs. Kuhnhanlt & Co., had already been advised or the loss or the (iermania, and immediately gave orders to Cantain P. H. Haack to make all possible speed to St. Johns, and there take on board the pas sengers or the hire (iermania, the sister vessel or the Clmhria, and Mr. Prowse, the North German Consul at St. Johns, was at once Informed of this step by telegraph, and he was requested not only to com municate this to the passengers and to Captain Kier, but to do all in his power to make them as comfort able as possible, aud spare no expense in doing so until the arrival of the fimbria. A special agent, entrusted with full power by Messrs. Kuhnhanlt Jk Co., also went out yesterday in the same steamer to St. Johns. The passengers' of the wrecked steamer will be placed on board tlie fimbria and conveyed to Europe. It is Indeed a fortunate circumstance that the loss or not a single human being need be mourned in so terrible a catastrophe. LOSS OF THE CLEOPATRA. This iron steamer was constructed at Sunderland in IsOfi, and was classed as a first-rate vessel, sue was owned bv Temperly & Co., or Loudon, and was commanded bv Captain W. Donald. She had t wo decks and beams, and was registered at 9s2 tons. Her length was 221 reef; breadth, o reets Inches; depth of hold, 14 feet 8 Inches. It is doubtful If she carried any considerable amount of cargo, there being very little goods shipped at this season of the ye,rhe following despatch was the first announce- tHSv J0oi!nJ,1UN?f7, Aiiff.10.-The steamship Cleo natra Captain Donald, from Montreal, bound to London, was totally lost near Trepassey on Sunday evening. The passengers and crew were ail saved and have arrived at this port. The second despatch, as appended, confirmed the truth of this announcement: st Johns, N. V., Aug. 10 -Tho steamer Cleopatra is a total wreck. She struck on the rocks in '1 re nassev llav on Sunday evening last, about four miles from the steamer (iermania. The piwsengers and rew are all saved, and arrived here in open boats to-dav A dense fog has prevailed on this coast, for the hist three weeks.

Aug. 10 The steamer San Jacinto, Captain Atkins, from New York for Savannah, (la., went ushoro on Body's Island at 2 o'clock on the morning of the fMh instant. Tho passengers ami crew are safe. If the weather holds good she will probably get off in a lew days. The Atlantic Submarine wrecking Company have despatched Captain Waters, agent of tlie company, with the steamer Yankee and a large force or divers, men, anchors, cables, steam pumps, etc., to tlie assistance ot the steamer San Jacinto, ashore at llodv's Island, N. C. The San Jacinto was built in isoo at Wilmington, Del., belonged to the port of New York, and was owned by Mr. C. K. Garrison. Her hull was Iron, with two decks, and of U71 tons burden.
