Statement of Henry H. Childs.
SAVANNAII, Sept. 18.—Henry H. Childs,
wit; of the rescued passengers, states that the
C,litral America left Havana on the Bth in-
Tact, having had delightful weather and a
aina sea from Aspinwall to that port. On
afternoon of the day of sailing from Ha
, Lna we had a fresh breeze, and on Wednes
yit blew very strong. At night it inereas
,..tt and rained in torrents. On Thursday the
vij ad blew a hurricane, and the sea ran very
L.gh. On Friday the storm raged with una
.s,tted fury, and at 11 o'clock, A. M., it was
.i;•it known among the passengers that the
t-.l..iamer had sprung a leak, and was making
water fast.
A line of men was formed, who went to
work in bailing the water from her engine
room, the fire having been already extinguish
ed by the furnaces being overflowed. We
gained upon it so much, that the firemen
-o ere enabled to get up steam again, but this
,:,.)ntinued for .only a few minutes, when the
fires were again extinguished, and the engine
was abandoned. The bailing, however, was
,: , ,ntinued in all parts of the vessel, and kept
until she finally went down. During Fri
day night, the water gained gradually, but
being in good spirits, we worked to the
cost of our ability, feeling that when morning
came, we might possibly speak some vessel
cod be saved.
The fatal Saturday came at last, but bro't
nothing but an increased fury of the storm.
still we worked on. About 2 o'clock P. M.,
the storm lulled a little and the clouds broke
away, so that our hopes were renewed and
we all worked like giants. At 4 o'clock P.
24. we spied a sail and fired guns. Our flag
I,aing at half-mast it was seen, and the brig
Marine of Boston, bore down upon us. We
then considered our safety certain. She came
L.ear,..and we spoke to her and explained our
condition. She laid to about a mile distant,
and we in only three of the boats saved, pla
ned all the women and children, and they
were put on the brig.
As evening was fast approaching we dis
covered another sail, which responded to our
call, and came near us. Captain Ilerdon
told our crippled. condition, and asked them
to lay by and send a boat, as we had none
left. She promised to do so, but this was the
last we saw of her, except at a distance,
which grew greater every moment.
At seven o'clock we saw no probability of
keeping afloat much longer, although if we
could do so until morning all would be saved
in a short time. A heavy sea for the first
time broke over her after-deck, and our hopes
faded away. Life preservers were then
furnished to the passengers, and we sent up
two rockets. A tremendous sea then swept
over us and the steamer in a moment went
down. I think that some four hundred and
fifty souls were launched upon the Ocean, at
the mercy of the waves. The storm at this
time had entirely subsided. IVe all kept
near together, and went as the waves took
us. There was nothing, or very little said,
except each one cheered, and courage was
kept up for two or three hours and I think
for that space of time none had drowned.—
But those who could not swim became ex
hausted, and one by one gradually passed to
eternity. The hope that boats would be sent
to us from the two vessels we had spoken to,
soon fled from us, and our trust was alone in
Providence. And what better trust could
you or I ask for. I saw my comrades fast
sinking, and at one o'clock that night, I was
nearly alone upon the ocean, some two hun
dred miles from land. I however heard
shouts from all that could do so, that they
were not far from me; but I could not see
them. Within an hour from this time I saw
a vessel, and judged about one mile from me.
Taking fresh courage, I struck out for the
vessel, and reached it when nearly exhausted
but was drawn on board by ropes. It prov
ed to be a Norwegian bark, from Balize, Hon
duras, bound for Falmouth, England. I
found on board of her some three of my com
rades, and at nine o'clock the next morning;
we had.forfY-nine noble fellows on board.—
And those are all I know of having been
saved. We cruised about the scene of dis
aster until we thought that all alive had been
rescued and then set sail.
We found the bark short of provisions,
and the crew living on gruel. We had some
tea and coffee to refresh ourselves; and at
noon on Sunday, spoke the American bark
(the Saxony,) bound for Savannah; who sup
plied us with provisions and took five of us on
board. Our names are B. H. Eidly, of Maine
Tabez Howes, of San Francisco; Samuel W.
Look, of Maine; Adolph Frederick, of San
Francisco; Henry H. Childs, of New York.
The Norwegian barque then set sail for
Charleston with the balance of the forty nine
passengers. Their names unfortunately, I
cannot give. The few I recollect are Cap
tain Badger, of Baltimore; Mr. Frazer, sec
ond officer of the Central America; R. F.
Browne, of Sacramento; Billy Berch, of the
San Francisco Minstrels; E. J. Easton, of
San Francisco, and Plana°, of Augusta,
Maine.
There is also a lad saved some seven years
old, whose mother was with the other ladies
placed "onboard the brig.
P. S.—There were three passengers that
got into the boats that saved the women and
children, which were known to me. Their
names are Mr. Priest, of Long Island, Thos.
Payne, of Standford, Connecticut, and a Mr.
Jones.
BLACK REPUBLICAN HYPOCRISY.--The Wor
cester (Mass.) Bay State says: "We have the
name of a gentleman who heard Senator
Henry Wilson, when in Kansas, tell Messrs.
Robinson and Lane, 'Do not vote at the Octo
ber election I Let them, form a slave State.—
Aid them to do so if you can without suspi
cion.! That is all the capital which we ask
for the next Presidential election.' " This is a
fair sample of Black Republican hypocrisy,
and yet, the people of this State are asked to
vote for Wilmot, a very chief among the con
spirators. The lives of men, women and chil
dren, the peace and security of the Union Eyre
nothing, when capital can be made for the
nest Presidential election. It is time these
'arrant pretenders were rebuked in a way that
will teach, them a lesson in the future, and to
aid in performing that duty, we ask the co
operation of every honest, intelligent citizen
of the old Keystone State.—Penney/vanian,
Republicanism in Practice
The following, taken from an Ohio paper,
is, with some changes to suit the locality of
our state, as applicable here as there in that
abolition ridden state.
From the District Democrat.
Pacts which we intend to Keep before
the People.
Ist. That the Republican party was orga
nized as an opposition to the Constitution,
and basis of all free institutions—" Popular
Sovereignty."
2nd. That miserable existence of the Re
publican party has been thus far prolonged
by the unnatural, intestine and bloody war
fare upon the plains of Kansas, incited and
nourished by Republican leaders for party
ends.
3d. That the history• of the Republican
party is a record of treason, anarchy and
revolution; that the Constitution is set at
naught, and sister States at variance with
each other.
4th. That the Republican party endeavor
ed, to stop the wheels of government and
paralyze every department of the state by
refusing to pass the general appropriation
bills.
sth. That the Republicans have used ev
ery exertion to make Kansas a slave state
for the purpose of procuring capital against
the Democracy in the approaching cam
paign.
6th. That the Republican candidate for
Governor always makes a mental reservation
when he takes an oath .to support the Con
stitution.
7th. That the Republican Legislature prom
ised retrenchment. They fulfilled by reliev
ing us of our school libraries, dispensing with
the payment of the public debt, and yet our
taxes are the same.
Bth. The Republicans introduced a bill in
to the Ohio Legislature asking to have the
word white struck from the Constitution,
thus placing the negro on a level with the
white man. Also a bill to compel the for
eigner to go to the Superior Courts for their
naturalization papers; placing the foreigner
below the negro.
9th. The Republican party introduced a
bill into the Legislature authorizing the Gov
ernor to appropriate one hundred thousand
dollars of the people's money to aid the re
bellion and bloodshed in Kansas.
10th. That a petition was presented by
Republicans to the Ohio Legislature praying
,for the withdrawal of Ohio from the Union.
11th. That the Republican legislature pass
ed a bill repudiating the contracts of the
State associating us with Mississippi which
is, financially, a hissing- and by word.
12th. That the Republican legislature did
nothing for the public weal, occopyinc , its
entire time in passing resolutions in relation
to Switzerland and Kansas.
13th. That according to the oath of Re
publicans and the report of Republican Com
mittees a Republican Treasurer has swin
dled the State out of half a million of dol
lars.
11th. That the Republican party is the
greatest humbug ever imposed upon the
American people, and is destined to be rout
ed this Fall, horse foot and thagons.
RETURNING PENITENT.—The Charles
town Courier says : " Our readers may re
member an advertisement of a runaway in
our columns some three years since, which
excited some characteristic comments from
the N. Y. Tribune. No information concern
ing the fugitive, who was a very intelligent
and valuable servant, that had been well
treated and well regarded. We have now
before us, however, a letter written by the
servant referred to, who addresses a friend
and relative, enclosing an appeal to his mis
tress, and begging permission to return to
servitude and safety."
reX• At Birmingham, Alleghany county,
Pa., the other day, a little girl ten years of
age played truant from school, for which its
parents attempted to punish it by hanging it
by the neck with a towel. The child escaped
from its parents to a neighboring house almost
frightened into fits. The brutes of parents
—John and Isabella Morrison—who were
drunk, were arrested and committed for the
offence.
ge'Cornmon Whiskey applied to peach
stains will speedily remove them. And pul
verised chalk and soft soap will remove mil
dew.

- IMPROVED PATENT ASPHALTIC
ROOFING FELT—A CHEAP, DURABLE AND PER
FECTLY 'WATERPROOF ROOFING—PricE, TILREL CENTS
rim SQUARE FOOT.
W3I. LEWIS, Huntingdon, 21gentfrr Huntingdon county.
This improved PATENT FELT makes aCHEAP, DURAISLEGIRI
PERFECTLY 'WATERPROOF ROOFING, for CHURCHES, CHAPELS,
PUBLIC HALLS, RAILROAD STATIONS, Houses, COTTAGES, VER
ANDAHS, FARM 13UILDLNGS. CATTLE and SHEEP SHEDS, and
every other description of BUILDINGS, in lieu of Tin, Zinc,
Shingles, Tiles, Thatch, &c.
It costs only a fraction of a Tin or Shingle Roof and is
more durable, as it neither cormoers, CCACES nor LEAKS.
It is made of the strongest and most durable materials ;
and saturated with the best of Asphalt°.
It is made up in Rolls, 25 yards long, -a inches wide,
and can be easily applied by any unpracticed person, with
a few tacks.
It is invaluable for LINING the IVALts of Woonr:N FlocsEs,
GRANARIES, BARM, &c., as rats or other vermin and insects
mill not touch it.
IT IS IMPERVIOUS TO WET, and being a NON-CONDUCTOR,
counteracts the heat Of SU3I3IER and the cold of WINT111:,
equalizing the temperature within every building where
it is used.
To the Agriculturist, it makes a ennir and EFFECTUAL
ROOFING, for FARM BULLRINGS and SHEDS; a CovEarso for
CORN and lay Ilicgs, also a DEFENCE for Sheep during
snow, and in the Yard as a loose covering fur Turnips and
other Fodder in Winter—the use of this FELTproves a great
annual saving to the Farmer.
It is suitable to every climate.
It is light and portable, being in Rolls, and not liable to
damage in transportation.
When used UNDER Tea or other RoOrrm, it forms a
smooth body for the metal to lie tightly on, \Thereby the
Tin wears much longer, nut corroding beneath ; at the same
time nz IDENING SOUND. Also being a NON-CONDUCTOR, it
keeps the UPPER ROOMS COOL in Summer, and being-Wm:a
rmor, prevents the Roof from LEAKING.

OCTOBER APPOINTMENTS
DR. HARDMAN, Physician for the
disease of the Lungs, (formerly Physician to Cincin
nati Marine hospital) will be in attendance at hig*romus
as follows :

Harrisburg, October 14 and 15.
Dr. Hardman treats Consumption, Bronchitis, Asthma,
Larryngittis and all diseases of the throat and lungs, by
Medical inhalation, lately used in the Brondon Hospital,
London. The great point - in the treatment of all human
maladies, is to get at the disease iu the direct manner.—
All medicines are estimated by their action upon the organ
requiring relief. This is the important filet upon which
Inhalation is based. Itthe stomach is diseased we take
medicine directly into the stomach. If the lungs are dis
eased, breathe or inhale medicated vapors directly into
the lungs. Medicines arc antidotes to disease and should
be applied to the very seat of disease. Inhalation is the
application of this principle to the treatment of the lungs,
for it gives us direct access to those intricate air cells, and
tubes which lie oat of reach of every other means of ad
ministering medicines. The reason that Consumption,
and other diseases of the lungs,
have heretofore resisted
all treatment has been because they have never been ap
proached in a direct manner by medicine. They were in
tended to act upon the lungs, and yet were applied to the
stomach. Their action was intended to be local, and yet,
they were so administered that they should only act con
expending their immediate and principal ac
tion Upon the unoffending stomach, whilst the foul ulcers
within the lungs were unmolested. Inhalation brings
the medicine in direct contact with the disease without
the disadvantage of any violent action. Its application is
3
so simple, that can be employed by the youngest infant
or feeblest invalid. It does not derange the stomach, or in
terfere in the least degree with the strength, comfort, or
business of the patient.
Other Diseases 'Treated.—ln relation to the following dis
eases, either when complicated with ling affections or ex
isting alone, I also invite consultation, I usually find them
promptly curable.
Prolapsus and all other forms of Female Complaints, Ir
regularities and Weakness.
Palpitation and all other forms of Heart Disease, Liver
Complaints, Dyspepsia, and all other diseases of stomach
and bowels, Sc.
All diseases of the eye and ear. Neuralgia, Epilepsy,
and all forms of nervous disease.

TESTIMONIALS FROM PROFESSORS AND OPINIONS
OF THE PRESS,
"The Horace Waters' Pianos are known as among the
very best. We ore enabled to speak of these instruments
with some degree of confidence, from personal knowledge
of their excellent tone and durable quality.”—X. Evan
gelist.
Having inspected a logo number of the Horace Waters'
Pianos we can speak of their merits, from personal knowl
edge, as being of the very hest quality."—Christain Intetii
gcncer.
Nothing at the State Fair displayed greater excellence
in any department than the Piano-Forte manufactured by
Horace Waters, of this city.—Churcionan.
The following is taken from the " Christian Inquirer":
"The finest among the many pianos at the Crystal Palace
are those placed there by Horace Waters, whose instru
ments aro always popular.
The following we take from the "Christian Advocate"
(Memphis, Tenn.:) "The Horace Waters, Pianos are built
of the best and most thoroughly seasoned material. Front
all we can learn of this establishment—said to be the lar
gest iu the United States—we have no doubt that buyers
can do as well, perhaps better, at this than at any other
house in the Union. ,
"Mr. Waters has been long established and is favorably
known. We speak front experience when we assure our
readers that his prices are below those usually charged
for articles in his line."—Jacksonian, J.
. "Your instruments are a sensible improvement upon
American Pionos, and an honor to the skilful manufacturer.
There is no doubt but they Will be appreciated by the pub
lic and all admirers of true merit.—Oscar Comettant.
The treble is clear, pure, powerful, and very melodious,
the base is deep, rolling, and sonorous: the middlepart Sg
rich, and sympathetic, and possessing the power of sing
ing, i.. c. of uniting the sound of each tone, in a degree but
rarely achieved."—henry C. Watson.
For power of tone, depthof brass, and brilliancy of tre
ble, together with accuracy of touch, they are equal to any
make I em acquainted with, and I cordially recommend
Moat to those wishing to purchase.—Y. C. Taylor.
"Our friends will find at Mr. Waters' store the very
best asortment of music and of pianos to be found in the
United States, and we urge our southern and western
friends to give hint a call whenever they go to New York,"
—Graham's Magazine.
"We consider them worthy of special attention, from the
reSonant and exceedingly Musical tone which Mr. Waters
has succeeded in attaining,."—N. Y. Musical World alai
"There is one which, fur beauty of finish and richness
and brilliancy of tone, equals, it' it does not excel, any
thing of the kind we have even seen.. It is from the estab
lishment of Horace Waters. Being constructed of the best
nerO moat thoroughly seasoned material, and upon lin
iiroted principles, it is capable of resisting the action of
the climate, and of standing a long time in tune.--Savan
'nen Republican, Savannah, Gm"
Waters' pianos and melodeons challenge comparison
with the finest made anywhere in the country,"—Homo
Journal.
C. L: Sholes, editor of the limonite. "Tribune and Tete
graph" says, " The piano was received in good order, and
is pronounced an excellent instrument by good judges,
the tone of it is particularly commended, as is indeed its
external workmanship and finish, compared with its cost."
Speaking of the Horace Waters' Pianos and Melodeons
at the Crystal Palace the "New York Disptach" says:—
"A number of these pianos and pedal bass organ melode
ons, from their great power, and fullness and richness of
tone, attract the very general attention and Commenda
tion of visitors. Waters' "New Scale" is recognized by
artists as not only a sensible but important improvement
in pianos."
The "New York Express" says: "The Horace Waters'
Pianos are pronounced by musical amateurs as a decidedly
superior article in all the requisites of this instrument,
and it is fast superseding those of other manufacturers."
The "New York livening Post" says: The Horace
Waters' Pianos are excellent as well as cheap; but he has
those of other makers, as well as second-hand ones, capi
tally adapted to limited means."
Says the " Knoxville (Tenn.) Standard "Mr. Waters
has lung experience in the business, and has gained a. repu
tation unsurpassed for selling the best instruments in the
country."
The "Sunny South" reaches us with the fototving:—
" This gentleman is one of the most exteritth'e tansic-cleal
ere in the Union. His pianos and melodeons have ob
tained great celebrity for their excellent tone and durable
quality „
Says the "Talley City Advotate :" "We lraie taken e
look at a piano which has just arrived from the celebrated
establishment of Horace Waters, and must say that fur
tone and beauty of finish, it surpasses any we ever saw
for the price."
Horace Waters' Piano-Fortes are of full, rich, and even
tone, and powerful.-1 inv York Musical Review.
"They are fully equal to any of the kind I have seen in
the United States, and fir superior to those of a similar
make I saw in England."—Geo. Washbourne Morgan.
"I take great pleasure hi announcing them instruments
of a superior quality, both in tone and touch."—August
Gockel.
We don't know that we ever saw better pianos—pianos
better made; of finer tone and of greater power—than wo
met with yesterday at the fair in the Crystal Palace. The
finest among them arc those placed there by Horace Wa
ters, whose pianos are always popular:"—Tinte.s and Mes
senger.
"The Horace Waters' Pianos now on exhibition at the
Fair, have attracted a surprising degree of attention ;
they are unrivalled by any other instrument, in perfect
duality o f tone and power."—Cburier.
"The Horace Waters' Pianos are among the most cele
brated and improved makes of the day. For power, bril
liancy and richness of tone, elasticity Of touch, and
beauty of finish, they will not stiffer iu comparison with
those of any other manufacturer"—T hernias Baker.
The "State Register" contains the Mowing: "For
beauty of finish, sweetness and brilliancy of tone, they
undoubtedly surpass anything of the kind ever brought
before the public. They equal in tone the grand piano;
and being constructed of the best and most thoroughly
seasoned material, they are capable of resisting the action
of any climate."
Says the "Evening Mirror": They (tire Horace Waters'
Pianos) aro very superior instruments and the maker
may confidently challenge comparison with any other
manufacturer iu the cormtry, as regards their outward
elegance, and quality of tone and power."
