".ASTOUNDING DEVELOPMENT !"
Under this head the Journal of this morn-
ing, puts forth another column of FALSE
HOODS, with the exception of our order
which the scoundrels now publish correct, and
the certificate of W. Miller, which agrees
with our statement in last Globe. We admit
ted that the Journals dated the 4th inst., were
placed in the Post Office on Monday the 3d,
but could not be, and were not mailed for Cof
fee Run route until 5 P. M.—the regular
hour for the departure of the mail train,
which was three hours after Mr. Snare had
returned home from. the • Coffee Run Office.—
Then if the Journals of the week previous
had left that office on Thursday, the 30th
Oct., and this fact is admitted by the Post
Masters at Coffee Run, and the Journals of
Nov. 4th, lying in the Post Office at this place
until Monday evening the 3d, after Mr. S.
bad returned, what, we ask the lying scoun
drels of the Journal, did Mr. S. lift at the
Coffee Run office, other than the Americans
mailed here for that office on Thursday and
Friday previous ?
Talk of sympathy !—The "gentlemen who
have the case in hand" will receive no thanks
from us if they decline to push a thorough
investigation. If men who hold respectable
positions refuse to do us justice, we give
them notice now that we will speak of them
and their falsehoods, with the same freedom
as we would of the poor despised outcasts
from all decent society, the editors of the
Journal.
DEnr.c.illo.N.--The new Methodist Episcopal
Church at Tyrone City, Blair county, will be
dedicated on the second Tuesday in Decem
ber, being the 14th pros. One of the Bishops
is expected to preach the dedicatory sermon.
Revs. J. A. COLLINS, J. P. DURBIN, D. D., A.
COOKMAN, D. D., and. other distinguished min
isters will be present on the occasion.
How Bad They Feel
Now that the election is over, the Echo
asks, how must the Fremont Freedom Shriek
ers feel, when all their towering hopes have
been blasted. With all their base designs
and fraudulent dealing, their boasted freedom
shrieking triumphs have everywhere ended
in mortification, humiliation and debasement.
In this locality they are now giving vent to
their pent-up malice by showering their
anathemas on the friends of Mr. Fillmore.—
Their overwhelming defeat comes upon them
with a crushing force. They are now in an
extremity of agony, for their prospects of
treason and disunion have been crushed for
at least four years. They are fretful, peevish
and vehement, and are glutting their revenge
ful feeling upon every body out of the pale
of their baneful arena. Their failure in the
- villainous design of plunging the two sections
of our common country into a fratricidal war
has rendered them frantic. We pity the sor
rows and woes of these poor disappointed
malignant fanatics very much. After their
grief subsides somewhat we intend to admin
ister a little consolation to them. Were we
to apply at this time the dose which we in
tend to give them, it might kill them outright.
We will withhold the dose until they are bet
ter able to bear it. The speech of Lt. Gov.
Ford which set them at the time in ecstacies,
now haunts them. His chaste and beautiful
expression that "James Buchanan stood no
mare of a chance of being elected than a stumpy
tailed bull in fly time," grates harshly on
their acute ears,
Ye late exultant Fremonters tell us, did
Old Buck withdraw? He run exceedingly
well, not to be a candidate, didn't he ? Will
"Mr. Fremont go to bed to Old Buck's wife,"
as predicted by Lieut. Gov. Ford ?
The Vote of Parties in ~ Old Hunting
liuntipidon,
'Blair,
Fillmore over Fremont,
Many of the "Americans" may think it
strange that their party of 4,095 voters, can
be swallowed up by the Abolition Fremont
party, numbering but 1,371 voters. But it
is nevertheless true—the leaders of the Amer
ican party have turned traitors to the first
friends, and have contracted to hand over in
to Abolitionism, all who have followed them
since the organization of the American Par
ty. The Fillmore presses are to be "crushed
out," and the subscribers to "American" pa
pers are to be supplied with papers from Fre
mont presses.
fl .The Carolina Times says—" Mr. Wil
liam Telford, aged 101 years, a native of Ire
land, and for the past seventy-five years a
resident of Richland district, in the neigh
borhood of Crane creek, departed this life on
Monday evening last, at his residence, with
out having suffered much affliction in his last
illness."
It is said that large numbers of the
foreign born residents of Baltimore contem
plate selling their property and leaving that
city, on account of the outrages of Know-
Nothingism, and the murders almost daily
perpetrated by thePlug-trglies and other kin
dred spirits.

Who would not be a Pennsylvanian ?
Has it occurred to you fellow Democrats,
what a glorious privilege it is to be able to
claim the old Keystone as your native State?
Do you reflect upon the fearful forebodings
of the dissolution of our Union that filled the
breast of every true born of his country, but
a few weeks ago? Do you remember how
every State in the Union was watching you
with the most intense anxiety, to see whether
you still retained that same patriotic spirit
which was bequeathed to you by your Penn,
your Franklin, your Mifflin, and your host
"of patriotic fathers? Do you bear in mind,
the valiant battle you have just fought and
won, the element with which you have had
to contend? Was it not the compound es
sence of treason against the constitution of
your country ? Do you, I say, realize. the
grandeur of your present position ? -Do you
contemplate the present splendid attitude of
your noble State?
Do you see the refulgent flashes of her
great example lightning, as if in a blaze of
glory, every hamlet in the Union, dispelling
the clouds of gloom which hung like a pall
upon the bosom of our cherished land? Do
you see how our good old State has torn the
mask of treason which had fastened itself,
with vulture cravings, to consume and anni
hilate every vestige of freedom? What a
change What a glorious, blessed result I
Pennsylvanians, does it not make your heart
throb with gratitude to God, to think that
with you has been placed the key of this
great Union ; and when you unlocked the
door of your glorious State to admit your
brothers up to the sacred ballot-box, they
walked up like their mighty fathers of '76
and showed that they were worthy to be in
trusted with the key of the federal arch.
Fellow-countrymen, have you reflected upon
the glorious evidence we have seen manifes
ted in these hours of trial, that the patriot
ism of '76 still burns strongly to sustain our
cause?
Look how nobly some of the leading spir
its of the old Whig party• have fallen into
our ranks, and performed herculean labors
to assist us in destroying the double-fang
plotters against our beloved country. Is it
not glorious to dwell on such thoughts, to
feel and know that however much they may
differ from us on some political points, they
are influenced only by a love of country, and
in 'being so, naturally turn to us to assist in
rescuing that country from the thraldom of
Anarchy and Despotism. The State of Penn
sylvania ha declared her decision to the
world, and as that noble decree reverberated
through every hill and valley of this great
Nation, it will build up a monument to her
glory that no earthly power can destroy.
Tremble ye tyrants, when the echo of this
decision reaches your ears upon the polluted
soil of England, it will strike terror and
dismay to your dastardly schemes to destroy
our glorious Union.
Your money has been spent in vain to ac
complish your object, yet it has served to
show how indignantly we repudiate your
proffers, and we hurl our decree in your
teeth. Oh !my countrymen, and my noble
old State, how proud should we feel of the
Captain of our hosts.; he lead us on to victory
without unsheathing his sword; he has
wielded his great pen, ("which is mightier
than the sword,") and written his principles
upon the scroll of his country, and when the ,
attempt is made to obliterate ene sentiment
there written, our glorious sons are proudly
rushing to place its author in the• capitol of
the nation, and thusby the bright reflections
of its rays, dispense its glorious precepts
over the whole of the nation. In these prin
ciples there is no overshadowing darkness
for the South, but like the sun in heaven, it
spreads its genial influence on all alike, and
under it we live in peace, happiness and
prosperity. •
Hold up your Banner, Pennsylvania; and
as it floats to the breeze, wafting the glad
tidings of your edict to the people of your
country, worship and adore the sentiments
inscribed upon its folds, and hail them as
the Saviour of your Country.—Ev. Argus.
The great political battle has been fought,
and JAMES BUCJIANAN is elected President of
the United States. Never since the adoption
of the Constitution, was a Presidential can
vass conducted with more zeal—we might
add, with.more bitterness—than that which
has just terminated so fortunately for the
Democratic party and the country. When
we look back at the events of the past five
months, and recall the scenes of that exciting
period, we heartily rejoice that it is all over,
and that the same men who have taken a
prominent part in building up our national
greatness, and the same principles which
have made us all that we are as a people, will
continue to sway the destinies of our model
Republic.
With the election of Mr. BUCHANAN two
great events are accomplished—the one, the
triumph of sound, national, Pennsylvania
Democracy in the person of its chosen stan
dard bearer, over a combined opposition—the
other, the eventual overthrow of a sectional,
fanatical party, which threatened to endan
ger our national perpetuity. Of the triumph
of our time-honored and truly noble and pa
triotic party we will not now speak in detail.
Suffice it to say, that is a triumph of which
not only every Pennsylvanian, but every cit
izen of our Union may be proud, because it
secures peace and harmony for the future ;
because it cements still closer our bonds of
Union ; because it adds another seal to the
many which now confirm the past acts of that
party, and`because it is a blow struck fair at
the front of despotism and its allies every
where. But the second great result of our
victory is too important to be thus hastily
passed over.

While the gational Democratic party com
batted and overcame a double foe—a foe or
ganized so as to suit the prejudiceaof,the
North, and one formed with a view of-catch
ing the sympathies of the South—it is to the
former—the monster who reared his unseem
ly proportions in our own section of the Union,
that we refer, when we speak of a treasona
ble organization. Black Republicanism was
the creation of a morbid fanaticism. It
sprung into life in a land - where treason to
the American Union stalks forth on the broad
light of day—where it shows itself in the
Legislative hall—in the pulpit, and in the so
cial circle. It grew and strengthened in
Northern prejudices. It expanded beneath
the dark wing of Abolitionism, and it became
great enough to crush out all kindred organ
izations. Its rapid progress to prominence
made its leaders bold, and their ravings, (we
can call them by no better name,) brought
thousands around its standard, who rallied
there because they thought that the fungus
of to-day would be the giant of after times.
Thousands, we repeat, joined the ranks of
this party, not because they loved its princi
ples or respected its leaders, but because they
believed that it was destined to become the
dominant party of the North. It therefore
became necessary for Black Republicanism
to succeed at the recent election to preserve
its existence as a party: If it failed it died,
because it had no principle that could last
four years more, and because so soon as the
hangers-on saw that it was not powerful en
ough to carry them into prominence, they
would leave it as rats desert a sinking ship.
The blight of a signal defeat has fallen upon
that party and its doom is sealed.
This is a happy subject for contemplation.
Suppose, for a moment, that JouN C. FRE
MONT had been chosen President on the fourth
of the present month, would the result have
been received with the same gratification—
with the same feeling of security—with the
same bright hopes for the future, as the elec
tion of JAMES BIIEH4NAN is received? We
unhesitatingly answ . er no. There would have
been danger in the future. The seeds of dis
solution would have been sown, and the day
of our national destruction would not have
been far distant.
As it is'now, with a tried Statesman for
President, and a Democratic Senate and House
of Representatives to sustain and aid him,
the nation will march on in her career of
greatness ; she will be respected abroad and
at home ; and fanaticism will die because it
will have nothing to feed upon.
INTERMARRIAGE OF COUSINS.--The Norfolk
Reflector says that the Assessor's returns of
Huron county show 11 blind, 12 deaf and
dumb, 12 insane and 12 idiotic persons in
the county. The parents of five of these
were by relation cousins before marriage.
Three of the five-2 blind and 1 idiotic—
were so afflicted from birth, and I—idiotic—
from infancy. The fifth was deaf and dumb
for a time not ascertained—probably from
birth. It is probable that the number of
parents so related to each other is larger,
and there was no information obtained as to
part of them.
The Result.
The Cabinet:
Now that the Presidential election-is'over
and the favorite son of the "Old Keystone,"
has been elevated to the Presidency, the bu
sy-bodies in politics are already actively at
work in forming a Cabinet for the -President
elect. One has already been formed - as fol
lows :
Secretgry of State—lsaac Toucey, of Con
necticut.
Secretary of the Navy—John Slidell, of
Louisiana.
Secretary of War—Henry A. Wise, of Vir
ginia, or H. Ward, of South Carolina.
Secretary of the Interior—Jesse D. Bright,
of Indiana, or Charles Stuart, of Michigan.
Attorney General—James C. Vandyke, of
Pennsylvania.
Postmaster General—John B. Thompson,
of New Jersey.
Although it is probable, that some inclu
ded in the above list, will form a portion of
the new Cabinet, yet we venture to say that
the persons forming it, know about as much
about the matter as the "man in the Moon."
The Cabinet will be formed by the time the
4th of March arrives, and old "Buck" will
form it himself without the aid of the small
fry, busy-bodies who are constantly dabbling
in such matters, and who could be frequently
much better employed.
Strange Coincidence
A comparison of the vote for Congressman
in Delaware county, in 1854 and in 1856,
exhibits a remarkable coincidence,
In '54 John M. Broomall, Whig, rec'd 1882
John Hickman, Dem., received
Hickman's majority - 87
In '56 John S. Bowen, Rep., rec'd 1882
John Hickman, Dem., received 1969
Majority for Hickman 87
John Larkin, American, 485
Hickman's vote in 1856 is precisely the
same as in 1854, and the Republican vote
for Bowen is the same vote cast for Broomall,
Whig, in 1854.
. OFFICIAL VOTE OF PENNSYLVANIA.—The
table of the official vote of Pennsylvania
which we publish in another column, is in
some respects inaccurate, as for instance,
Luzerno is taken from newspaper report.
The following is the correct official aggre
gates as telegraphed from Harrisburg on
Friday evening:
Buchanan, 230,600
Fusion—Fremont, 147,409
" Fillmore, 55,838
203,247
Straight Fillmore, 26,338
Buchanan's majority over Fusion, 27,443
Buchanan over Fusion and Fillmore, 1,105
The Governor has issued his proclamation
declaring the Democratic Electors elected,
and ordering their meeting at Harrisburg on
the first Wednesday in December.
A CONGRESS or TEE SOUTH AMERICAN
REPUBLICS.-A pamphlet has just appeared
in Paris, in which the -writer recommends a
Congress of the Republics of South America,
to consider, and if possible, to secure the fol
lowing objects:
1. Universal citizenship.
2. An international code of laws.
3. A. federal and commercial alliance of
the several States.
4. The abolition of particular customs and
fiscal duties as between the States.
5. An international tribunal, rendering
war between any two States impossible.
6. A uniform system of colonization.
7. Out universal system of education and
means of civilization for the uncivilized sava
ges (i. e.) Indians.
8. The creation of an American university.
9. A plan of reform in respect to taxation,
of preventing centralization, of restoring to
the body of citizens the functions which have
been usurped by the oligarchial constitution
of South America.
10. The General Congress of States to be
declared the representative of South America,
in all cases of conflict with foreign nations.
Minority Presidents
We find in an exchange paper the follow
ing facts in relation to the votes given at va
rious Presidential elections, which our read
ers will find interesting :
PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS SINCE .1820.
Since 1820, when Monroe was chosen for a
second term, with but one opposition elector
al vote, the presidential elections have been
less decisive than is generally , supposed.—
That is to say, the popular majority_ for the
successful candidate has never been exces
sive ; and often he has actually wanted a ma
jority, and had only a plurality. This was
the case, for example, in 1844, when the votes
cast for Clay, and those thrown away on Bir
ney, exceeded in the aggregate those polled
for Polk, making the latter actually a minor
ity President.
To go back to 1824. In that year, four
candidates were in the field, Jackson, Adams,
Crawford and Clay. The first received 99
electoral votes, the second 84, the third 41,
and the fourth 37. The election, under these
circumstances, devolving on the House, Adams
received the vote of 13 States, Jackson of 7,
and Crawford of 4.
In 1828, Jackson was chosen by the popu
lar voice, obtaining 178 electoral votes out of
the 261 which then constituted the electoral
college. In 1832, Jackson was again chosen
by the popular voice, and this time by an
even greater majority, receiving 170 electoral
votes more than his opponent, Henry Clay.
This brings us up to 1836, or twenty years
ago. In that year, Tan Buren, though flee
ted President, beat Harrison in the popular
vote only about 14,000, though he had. 170
electoral votes out of 294. Four years after
ward, Harrison, seemed, at first sight, to have
had three times as many supporters as Van
Buren, for ho obtained 234 electoral votes,
while his antagonist had but 6G; yet he only
beat the latter in the popular vote about 160,-
000; out of a poll of nearly 2,400,000. An
other curious feature of the election of 1840
Was, that. the popular vote exceeded by near
ly two-thirds that cast in 1836. Van .Buren;
for instance, distanced as he was, received
364,000 votes in 1840 more than he did four
years before.
In 1844, as we have said already, Polk was
actually a minority President, and yet he
beat Clay by a larger popular majority than
Harrison had beaten Van Buren ; the vote
being for Polk, 1,236,169—f0r Clay, 1,297,-
212. The electoral college stood, however,
170 for Polk to 105 for Clay. In 1848, Tay
lor received 163 electoral votes, and Cass 127.
The great State of New York, in this elec
tion, decided the contest, by going for Taylor,
in consequence of the Democracy being divi
ded ; and thus Taylor was also a minority
President.
When we compare these elections with
those prior to 1820, we see how much more
closely contested they have been. In 1804
for instance, Jefferson had 162 electoral votes,
and Pinckney, his opponent, 14 only. In
1808, Madison had 122, and Pinckney 47.
In 1812, Madison had 128, and Clinton 89.
In 1816, Monroe had 183, and King 34. In
1820, as we have already mentioned, Monroe
had 231, only a single electoral vote being
cast in opposition.
The Wheelbarrow Bet.
Ben. Perley Poore, of Newbury, Mass.,
early in the Presidential campaign, made a
bet with Colonel Burbank, of Boston, of a
barrel of apples, the loser to propel the ap
ples in a wheelbarrow from his own resi
dence to that of the winner, a distance of
30 or 35 miles. Major Poore lost the bet.
A correspondent of the Traveler, who fell in
- with the Major'On his way to Boston, thus
describes the scene :
1969
"En route from Newburyport for this
place, and when about twelve miles distant
from Newburyport, on the turnpike, my at
tention was attracted to a man some distance
in advance, who was harnessed to a wheel
barrow, and was diligently climbing the
steep hill which rose before him. When I
obtained a nearer view of the strange team,
you may imagine my surprise to discover
that it was my friend, Major Ben Perley
Poore. He was in fine spirits, and was ful
filling the conditions of his bet with Col.
Burbank, of Boston. As I tried the. weight
of the load on the wheelbarrow, the Major
exclaimed, 'You may wheel that barrel of
apples back in that direction as far as you
please, but not one inch in the advance.'
As I indulged in some feelings of merriment
at the-novelty of his position he said—`Mr.
P., this may be fun for you, but there is
more reality than poetry for me.' "
Yesterday afternoon Mr. Thompson, con
ductor on the Boston and Maine Railroad,
reports to the Bee office that Major Poore
was at Lynnfield, at 4 o'clock, and would
probably arrive in Boston during this after
noon and evening. Major Poore is described
as being dressed appropriately for the occa
sion, wearing a pair of over-ails, commonly
worn by laboring men, And a course, green
baize jacket. He is reported to be in excel
lent condition. On his arrival he will be
duly received by a large number of citizens,
and Colonel Burbank is expected to welcome
him to Boston in a speech that shall be credi
table to so fruitful a subject.
Since the above was in type, we learn that
the Major arrived with his wheelbarrow at
Malden, last evening, having made the dis
tance of 24 miles yesterday. After " putting
up" his team, he took the cars for Boston,
and was quite lionized last evening. He
wears his green jacket with becoming grace
and dignity. Arrangements are making for
a great reception to-day. It will be the effete
of the campaign.
Mr. Poore and the barrel of apples.—
Major Ben Perley Poore, the late Fillmore
candidate for Congress in the Sixth District,
Mass., arrived in Boston, yesterday afternoon,
with his wheelbarrow and barrel of apples—
which he had wheeled all the way from
West Newbury, a distance of thirty-two
miles in two and a half days. The job was
in fulfilment of a bet with Col. Burbank, the
Fremont State Senator elect, that Fillmore
would get more votes in Massachusetts than
Fremont. The Major, wheeling his apples,
was escorted up State street about 2 o'clock,
by the Fillmore Clubs of Boston and Charles
town, a military company and a mounted
cavalcade of citizens. The novelty of the
performance collected many thousands of
the people, and the Major was greeted with
tremendous and tumultuous applause on all
sides. He delivered the apples to Col. Bur
bank on the steps of the Tremont House,
when both gentlemen delivered congratula
tory speeches, mounted on the barrel. Ten
thousand people were present.
We ought in justice to Col. Burbank to
state, that when he ascertained that Major
Poore had started, he despatched a note to
him releasing him from the fulfilment of the
wager. But the Major immediately wrote a
reply, upon the head of the apple barrel, in
which he declared his firm determination to
put the apples through according to con
tract.
We copy the correspondence below:
TREMONT HOUSE,
Wednesday Morning. It
Dear Major—l am perfectly satisfied with
what you have already done, and am willing
to take the will for the—apples. Don't
trouble yourself to wheel them any farther.
I hereby release you from the toilsome con
dition of your wager.
• Yours, for Fremont, Freedom and the rise
of real estate in Kansas.
Major Ben Perley Poore,
ON THE ROAD,
Wednesday, P. M.
Dear Colonel--When I entered the cam
paign I determined to give no quarter and
take none. I shall proceed wilh the apples,
and you may rest assured that they will be
wheeled into Boston as per agreement.
Yours, for Fillmore and the Constitution,
BEN PERLEY POORE.
P. S. I shall be very dry when I get to
the Tremont House. B. P. P.
P. S. Kansas be d--d. B. P. P.

ANOTHER CALAMITY AT SEA.
Dreadful Collision—The French Steamship
LYONNA IS Sunk—Over a Hundred Lives
Probably Lost—Sixteen Rescued and brought
into Ports
[From the New York Times, Nor. 15.1
Another terrible calamity has occurred at
sea. The French steamer Lyonnais, which
sailed from New York for Havre on the Ist
of November; was on the day following run
into by another vessel; and so severely dam
aged that by next morning was deemed to be
sinking. The captain and some 40 persons
took to a raft which is believed to have gone
to pieces early, many lives being lost. On
the 9th a boat with sixteen persons in it was
picked up, after 6 days drifting at sea, by the
Bremen bark Elise, and all but 2 of the res
cued were transferred the next day to the
Hamburg bark Elise, which brought them
safe to port last night.
Nothing is said of the vessel that ran into
the Lyonnais,—whether she was known,
-whether she ever knew the mischief she made,
or what was her destination. The Lyonnais
left New York with 42 passengers on board,
and how large a crew is not definitely known
—probably some 26. Of these we only know
that 16 have been saved ; from the report of
the second mate, (one of the rescued,) it is
probable that all the others are lest.
Following is the list of passengers that was
published in the Daily Times of the 3d inst.,
as having sailed on board the Lyonnias.
Mrs. Frances C. Dammer, Mrs. Cora Ade
laide Dammer, M. Solomon, Mrs. Strong, Mr.
Bailey and lady, Philip Guglielmi, J. F. Basse
ford, lady, children and servant, Don Yin
cente, Dias Comils, Jon Jose de Ulate, lady
and servant, Herman Huber and lady, Al
bert Summer, lady, daughter and servant, T.
G. Gibson, Mr. Sheclel and lady, Mr. Van
Louis, C. C. Beaugrand, F. De Montigny,
Messrs. Traburora, Acello, Lawrent, Mann
and child, E. Ravoit, Rev. John B. Cocagne,
Saul Sasportas, A. Louette, De Lestrange, A.
Frolien, Mlle. Ernestine Bellet.
It will be seen that several of these are on
ly reported by their last names—but as of
those which are given in full, we find no one
entered in our city directory, the presump
tion is that the distress which this calamity
on the sea will .cause, will be felt much in
other cities and beside other hearths than in
New York. The following is the report of
Capt. Neilson, of the Hamburg bark which
arrived last night:
CAPTAIN NEILSON'S REPORT.
Report of Hamburg bark Elise, Capt. Neil
son, on his voyage from Hamburg to New
York, left 4th October, arrived 13th Novem
ber, (40 days' passage.) In the morning,
Nov. 10, in lat. 40 deg. 51m. N., lon. 65 deg.
40m. W., Bremen bark Elise, Capt. Nbesen
holstt, came along side, and told me, on Sun
day afternoon, Nov. 9, he had picked up a
boat with sixteen people, and asked me to
take them with me to New York, because he
was afraid that he would be short of water.
I consented to it immediately, and took four
teen on board ; two first-cabin passengers
stopped in the Bremen vessel—Mr. Shuler
and wife. The people saved belong to French
steamer Le Lyonnais, who had left New York,
Saturday, Nov. 1, for Harve, and in the night,
between 2 A. M. and 3 A. M., was run into
by a,large ship, which struck her so heavy
aft that next morning, Nov. 3, she was in a
sinking state, when the second mate, whom
I met on board in the afternoon, left the ves
sel.
Said second mate reported to me that he
stopped by the ship till next morning, when
it commenced blowing, and he believed the
Captain and all left the vessel; they had a
raft made and about 40 persons got on it, but
he believed it went to pieces and many lives
were lost. Tuesday, Nov. 4, second mate lost
sight of the boats which left the vessel. The
weather was very foggy. Persons saved and
on board the bark - were as follows : Second
mate, Lay nire ; second engineer, Despour,
sailors and stokers, Dhaupeant, Nestor, Doub
lie, Cousin, Bienzarme, Jost, Poseaux, Thill
aye, and Lambert. Passengers, Dominiyo,
Flora Luloenen, and Ernestine Bollet.
ADOLPH NEILSON.
New York, Nov. 14, 1856.
We annex the report furnished us by the
agent of the Associated Press:
LOSS OF THE FRENCII STEAMER LYONNAIS
The Hamburg bark Elise, Captain Neilson,
arrived here last evening from Hamburg.—
She reports that on the 10th instant, in lat.
40 deg. 51 min. lon. 65 deg. 40 min., she
spoke a Bremen bark having on board sixteen
of the passengers and crew of the French
steamship Le Lyonnais, which left New York
on the Ist inst., for Havre, and was run into
by a large ship on the night of the 2d, and
abandoned next day in a sinking condition.
These sixteen passengers were picked up in
a boat, on the oth inst., two others having
died before the Bremen bark came along,
Fourteen of the rescued were taken on
board the Elise, and have arrived at this port,
the two others, Mr. Shuler and wife, remain
ed on board the Bremen vessel. Amongst
those saved was the second mate of the Ly
onnais, who states that in the night between
the second and third, the steamer was run
into and struck so heavily, that in the morn
ing she was in a sinking condition, and the
captain decided to abandon her. The sec
ond mate and those with him left the steamer
on the afternoon of the 3d, and were conse
quently six days in the open boat. The mato
says that to his knowledge the captain and
all the others on board the Lyonnais, left her
the next morning. The Lyonnais, had forty
passengers on board.
ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS
We learn from the Second Mate of the ill
fated vessel that there were on board, in ad
dition to the list of passengers enumerated
above, a sufficient number, including officers,
crew and steerage passengers, to swell the
list to near one hundred and fifty souls. She
also had on board about $20,000 in specie on
freight.
After the collision nothing more was seen
of the unknown vessel, and it is thought that
she immediately went down.
The Ryonnais, when last seen by those on
board the boat picked up, was still afloat,
with her stern below the water's edge, and
her bows high out of water.
The sufferings of the saved were terrible,
they having been exposed for six days in the
open boat. They encountered several severe
snow storms, and their limbs were dreadful
ly frozen. They are, however, we are hap
py to state, likely to recover.

London Tires bewailed it as indicative that
Buchanan would be elected in November.—
It lays the blame almost entirely on Pennsyl

contests. It counsels peace however, not
withstanding Mr. Buchanan's election- We
ought to be thankful for that,
