The Oneida Disaster—British Hu

We print, in 'another column, the
account ratite iiiirmtutinte and terrible
disithter to the United States Steamer,
Oncidtt, in the bay of VolMaitia, Ja
pan, by the sinking or which all On
board, with the-exception of about
persona lost their lives: The accident
was calmed lie a collision with the
British steamer Bombay, which ran in
, o th e I lneidn, almost cutting thediitter
in two, and then passed on, regardless
of the signal guns fired to attract her
attention, or of the cries of distress and
wafflings of delsto flint must have
reached the ears of her captain and
crew. Such recklessness and stony
hearted cruelty on the part of pro.
ressing to have the common feelings of
humanity, wee never heard of or es•
perienced before on all the wide waste
of the ocean—a cruelty that doomed
one hundred and twenty brave men,
including the noble Captain WaLLIAMS
and all the officers of the Oneida to a
watery grave. Even pirates—the rob
bers and murderers or the sea—would
,have had more mercy than this. Brit
tars have heretofore horn the repu
tation of lifinian, and gallant seamen,
but this last record will leave a blot
upon their national escutcheon that
will take years of generous deeds to
wipe away. 'fad we been at war with
England, the dastardly action of the
Captain of the Bombay might have
been looked upon as the heartlessness
o f a cruel enemy, and in this sense
been partially excused; hut, being at
pence and on good terms, the mapping
or the ears of the Bombay's crew to the
distressful cries of their fellow•men,
whose peril was the result of their own
carelessness, the malignancy wit
which they were left to perish becomes
a heinous and fearful offence, both in
the ens of Goa arid Mull.

The Double Execution at Huntingdon.
09 Wednesday tart, nt 20 minutes
past twelve o'clock Albert Von Boden•
burg, and Gottfried Von Bohner suffer
ed the penalty of the law, at hunting
don, for the murder of John Peigh ta I,
his rife and a little boy, on the 17th of
November last.
Not for many, ninny years, has there
been an execution -in this A. tate, at
which as little sympathy
~vas shown for
the condemned as at this The cold
blooded and brutal artnin.r in which,
for itlew dollars in gold and Ail% et,
they murdered an aged man amt his
wile and tint adopted little hay—bow
fiend like, they flied to hide the ei

them, while they had hopes at 'wear
ing their release, left the genet it Hu
pression" that they were devoid 0f tiny
feelinga of humanity themselves, and
sy tnphathy for them, *as sympathy l'or
men who deserved none whatever.
Particularly, was this the case will,
Bohner.
Up to the moment of being pinioned
on the scaffold Bodenburg, had evident
Iv come idea, that he would be respited..
Some weeks since he made a confession
in which he positively 'declared, „,tliat
although along with Bohner for the
purpose of theft, yet ,he dill not know
that the murder was coinmitted, until
artested in Altooha. This he reitera
ted on the scaffold, s.pd said the only
part he took in the matter, was to
watch outside, while Bohner went in
to rob the Peightals. This statement
Bohner denied and fusserted that each
had a hand In the murder, that Wry
were both equally guilty, end when the
drop fell launching their mottle in.
io eternity, they were wrangling about
which one was telling this truth. To
look at Bodenburg, one would .hardly
have suspected him of being hardened
enougn, to commit a crime such as he
Irered for. He was apparently about
21 years of age, medium bight, well
built, with large brown eyes, dark hair,
lair skin and altogether rather prepos
,•+song in appearance. lb - diner, was

the demand being small at that rate,
the price fell to two and a half dollars,
at which it remained. One enterpri

"March 4, 1869, gold 1-15.

No doubt the getters up of this cun•
nine device thought it was a brilliapt
idea, but they should:also have added:
"March 4, 1869; the Western farmer
could buy three to four pounds of cotfen
for one bushel of wheat. March 4,
1870, it takes a bushel of wheat to buy
one pound of eotfee."
This is the practical state of the case,
notwithstanding the fulsome adulators
of President GRANT may wish to Make
it appear otherwise. What folly it is
for the Radicals to attempt to still
