THE HUNTINGDON GLOBE, A DEMOCRATIC FAMILY JOURNAL, DEVOTED TO LOCAL AND GENERAL NEWS, &C. The Central Ani(iiitia Calamity. STATEMENT OF ALEXANDER GRANT, ONE OF THE FIREMEN. I was one of the firemen on board of the Central America, and up to the time of the ship's going down had done all in my power to save her and• the passengers. About 15 or 20 minutes before 9 o'clock on the Satur day evening on which she sank, knowing that she must go down some time during the night, I, with nine others, turned to for the purpose of cutting away the hurricane deck, on which, if possible, to save our lives and as many others as we could got on. I had just completed cutting away the last piece of rope which held it down, when upon rising and looking around me I saw that the vessel had gone down under us and left us floating on top of the deck. Nothing was to be seen of her but her passengers as they rose one after another to the surface of the water, and a few pieces of the wreck which were float ing about as they arose from the decks of the steamer. The names of the personi on board of the hurricane deck, as near as I can now recol lect, were as follows: George Buddington, third assistant engi neer; John Bank, fireman; Alexander Grant, fireman ; Patrick Carr, fireman ; John Bank, coal passer; Evers, coal passer; Kenarlty, coal passer. The names of the other three I cannot re member. The 'deck floated away to the lee ward, and we soon lost sight of the floating passengers of the wreck. On the following (Sunday) morning we came across and pick ed up a colored man named George Dawson, whe was a passenger on board of . the ship, and whom we found floating in the water, supporting himself by a piece of board.— Shortly after picking up Dawson we came across and picked up another passenger, whose name I never learned, as he died on the fourth day . after we picked him up, from sheer exhaustion. From the time of our be ing wrecked up to the fifth day after, (Thurs day,) ton out of the twelve on the raft, in cluding the ten who were on at the time the ship went down and the two picked up sub sequently, ten bad died of exhaustion and exposure, leaving none but Dawson and my self alive. On the fifth day of our floating about on the hurricane deck I discovered a small boat some distance oil; and at once stripped myself of all my outside clothing, determined to swim to the boat or die in the attempt. The task, emaciated and exhausted as I was, was no small one, but I knew that it was my only hope, as we bad endeavored to discover a sail 'in vain since our being wrecked. On arriving at the boat I found Mr. Tice, who aided me to get in. We then pulled the boat down to the raft, and took Mr. Dawson, who was almost insensible from exhaustion and exposure, on board. We then drifted away to leeward, with the wind, not knowing where we were, until, on the Bth day after the wreck, (Sunday,) we saw a brigatine off to the leeward of us, but being unable to make ourselves heard or seen, she passed on and was soon lost to our view.— Our hopes, which had for the moment been great, were again crushed out, and we for a time almost despaired of being picked up alive, as none of us felt as though we could by any possibility hold out .much longer. having already been eifsht days and nights without tasting food of - any kind, or drink other than salt water, which at times we were obliged to partake more or less of. On the ninth day, Monday, the 21st of Septem ber, about four o'clock, our hopes were once more made blkyant, by the appearance of another sail a long way to leeward. We made signals of distress, and did everything in our power to attract the attention of those on board of her, which we soon 'had the un bounded gratification of knowing were seen and about to be answered, by those on board the vessel, which immediately altered her course and stood directly for 119. It being pretty calm at the time, we were easily taken on board the vessel, which proved to be the brig Mary, of Greenock; Scotland, from Car denas, Cuba, bound to Cork, with a load of molasses. I cannot remember the Captain's name, although he treated us very kindly.— Not wishing to go to Europe, the captain very kindly consented to be on the look out for a vessel bound to the United States, and, should he fall in with one, put us all on board of her. Accordingly on the Monday following, the 28th of September, he fell in with the Bremen bark Laura, from Bremen, bound to New York, with a load - of emi grants. The captain of this vessel, upon Le in?. acquainted with our circumstances, im mediately' consented to take us on board.— We were accordingly transferred to the Lau ra, and there met with all the kindness and attention which it was in the power of her captain to render. I cannot remember the name of the captain of the Laura, at present. I have a wife and one child living at No. 36 Vandam street, New York, who no doubt be lieve me to be dead. This is the third time that Mr. Grant has been shipwrecked from steamships, as fol lows : once on board of the steamship Arc tic; once on the steamship Crescent City, and the last time on the Central America. ge presented this morninc , a most emaciated and sickly appearance, so much indeed, that twice, while_ narrating the above to our re porter, ho was compelled to -stop short and rest for a few minutes, before proceeding, and only concluded his narrative with great difficulty. It will be many weeks and months before either of the survivors will be fit for active duty again, even under the mildest and best of treatment. Upon the Kane reach ing the dock, our reporter found Mr. Tice in conversation with several gentlemen in the engine-room, from wnom he procured the an nexed statement of his adventures of the wreck up to the time of his arrival at this city. An Escape from Salt Lake. The following narrative is from the pen of John Davies, a young Welshman, who emi grated to Salt Lake with his family about two years ago, from Maesteg, South Wales. It is taken from a private letter, dated Coun cil Bluffs City, lowa, June 29 : "I guess you are anxious to know the rea son why. I left Salt Lake. I shall try, in the first place, to inform you what a man must do to be a Mormon. .tie must give himself, his family, and all his possessions over to Brigham Young, and then he'll have to give the tenth of all his income—the tenth day's work—and he must keep from two to ten wives. If he don't agree to these things he bad better quit; but by doing so he is in dan ger of losing his life every minute, for they would rather kill him than let him be the means of letting the world know how things are in their midst. Many have been shot down in trying to escape. I have seen doz ens shot down on the street; and three days before I left I saw three persons killed merely because they intended to escape—they were shot down in a place called Springfield, while they were preparing their trunks to leave.— This took place about 8 o'clock on a Sunday morning, within fifty yards of the gates of the city. The first was a young man called William Parish; be received seven halls in his body. The second was his father, and the third was a man, called Potter, whose body received as many as fifteen balls. The old man was pierced in the back, and his throat cut in three different places. I saw them lying down, and I could name the per sons who killed them. Brigham Young has got men for this purpose. Their number is four hundred. They are called the "De stroying Angels." Their captain's name is William Hickman, and the second in com mand is Porter Rockwell. t. "The walls around the city are 15 feet high, and they are surrounded by a deep and wide moat. The city is entered by four gates, which are watched in the night time. The gates are so narrow that only one vehi cle can pass through at once. The "Destroy ing Angels" go out on the plains in the spring in order to intercept those who may escape from the city. Many left on foot last January. They sleep by day and travel by night. I know of men and women who have traveled this way—the men dressed as women and the women as men. I came across some who were very short of food; the little they had they gave to the woman, and the men were principally sustained by the women's milk! "I left Salt Lake City on the 17th of April, in company with two Welshmen and an African. The few Mormons who knew of our intentions said that 'we would never reach the States alive, but I told them that I was determined to try, whatever would oc cur. On Saturday, (the day after we left,) we had traveled thirty miles from the city when we saw three men following us. They were sent by the authorities of the city to catch us. The name of one was Patrick Linch, an Irishman by birth and Secretary to Brigham Young. This man fired his re volver at me, but the ball went by without hurting me. They then came near us on their horses and inquired our names and when we refused to tell them, they swore that they would blow 'our damned brains out.' 'With that, one of them raised his re volver as if he was going to use it—he had one on each side of the saddle. I then took out my revolver and told him to fire if he liked. I had six revolvers -with me, and a rifle, containing in all thirty seven balls.— Another ball was then fired at me, which whistled by my left cheek. I then fired at him, and ono ball hit him on the leg and an other on the shoulder. (My friends by this time had run in the woods, and I was left to fight it out myself.) I then lost my footing, and one cf the men run at mo with a knife and cut my belt and took tour of my revol vers. I had the other two hid in my boots. I got hold of one of them and fired, and suc ceeded in keeping them off for some time, till I had a chance to run to the woods, where I got the assistance of my friends. "We continued to travel that day and the following night, and succeeded in reaching a place called Fort Bridger; which is one hun dred and thirteen miles from the Valley.— The number of our pursuers had now in creased to twenty, and we had to put to the woods again. We traveled till night, and were so fortunate as to meet a host of friendly Indians, who gave us buffalo meat to eat.— The next day we overtook a number of wag ons, known as Mrs. Rabbit's train, in num ber twenty eight. I was hired to drive one wagon, which was drawn by six mules. 'We had some trouble with a lot of Indians called the "Crow Tribe." They were well armed, and about a thousand strong. About six hundred shots came into our tents. We killed about thirty Indians, and they killed five of our men." NOT SO BAD OFF AS WE SEEM.—In the in flation of prices produced by the abuse of credit in 1837, the prices of food ran up to an enormous height, in some cases exceeding the high prices of the present year. Flour was $l2 per barrel, and other articles in the same exorbitant proportion. So completely had industry been diverted from labor to speculation, that we were actually obliged to import grain from Europe, a fact unexam pled iu our history before or since. Now, however, the case is different. Bountiful crops have everywhere blessed labor with a rich reward, and instead of having to import grain, we have plenty of it to export to Eu f one, and would do more largely if the inflated prices did not prevent it. The gen eral decline in prices, without any altera tion of relative values which is now taking place, will enable us to pay our debts abroad by meats of other of our products than cot ton. HANDSOME PRESENTS FROM PRESIDENT Bu- C ANAN.—The Norfolk Day Book says a magnificent gold pocket chronometer and chain have been forwarded to Samuel T. Sawyer, Esq., collector for that port, by James Buchanan, President of the United States, to be presented to that noble veteran .of Old Ocean, Capt. A. Johnson, of the Nor wegian barque Ellen, who so gallantly went to the rescue of the passengers of the Cen tral America. This magnificent watch and chain are said to he of the best the world can produce; and, coming as a present from such a source as the President of the United States, must make an indelible impression upon the minds of future generations of the heroic behavior of Capt. Johnson on that perilous occasion. It is supposed that its cost could not have been less than $350. oThe Oswego Times of the 28th tells the following story: Two men, named, respectively, Ward and Hall, were at work down the lake shore, when they discovered a small keg buried in the sand. This they dug out, and opening it, found it contained sixteen hundred pieces! The coins were of an ancient French cast, and of the denomination of seven franc pie ces, valued at $1,09 each. The two men, with their treasure have left for Philadel phia, where they intend to exchange their coin at the mint. It is probable that the money was secreted in the place, where it was discovered, by some French officer, dur ing the old French war, and afterwards the officer may have been killed, leaving no trace where the treasure was 'concealed. The Firemen's Parade in Philadel phia on Monday the sth ult., was a beauti ful affair. The line extended over three miles of ground. Several fa-c cunpanies from other places participated. The cost of the parade is estimated at from $50,000 to $lOO - Effects of Suspension. The whole amount of specie in the United States is estimated at $250,000,000. Penn sylvania, having one tenth the population, and more than one tenth of the wealth of the Union, has at least $25,000,000 of this specie—in all probability much more. In ordinary times this specie circulates freely. in times of panic and of a depreciated cur rency, it scarcely circulates at all. If ten dollars in notes, which are still money for ordinary transactions, are worth fifty cents or one dollar less than specie, nearly every body refuses to pay out their gold and silver. They will not suffer their good currency to be put on an equality with a bad one. This is but natural. Consequently, not only have the banks withdrawn many of their own notes from circulation, but they have also withdrawn the specie from circulation, by failing to redeem their notes. In a state of suspension, meanwhile, those who have spe cie either hoard it up, or send it to brokers to be sold for a premium. Thus thousands of dollars are sold every day to brokers in Philadelphia, and they in turn sell it to par ties who require it to pay their obligations at points outside of our State, which thus be comes drained of its specie.—Press. The Banks not all Suspended An exchange paper, in speaking of the late bank suspension in Pennsylvania, re marks:—" The old Bank of Pittsburg goes on as usual, never having refused to pay spe cie on any of its obligations, either during the present unfortunate crisis or at any pre vious time of financial trouble. The Alle gheny Bank is a new bank, and has just got under way. It pays specie also. In Wash ington County, the Franklin Bank still con tinues to pay specie, and is considered safe and sound, and the community, judging from their press, repose implicit confidence in it. In Fayette County, the Brownsville Bank also pays specie, stands well as far as we know, and is considered in good condition.— The same is true of the Farmers' and Drov ers' Bank of Waynesburg, and the Kittan ning Bank. The Wyoming Bank at Wilkesbarre, and the Honesdale Bank, also pay specie for their circulation. Dar SISTERLY DEVOTION.---T here is a young lady living in Saratoga who has visi ted the grave of a sister every morning for three years. A more touching sight we have seldom seen, in this inconstant and forget ful world, than this devout maiden kneeling to place flowers upon the green coverlet of a sister's "narrow bed," and to repeat her morning prayers - where none but God can hear. gerA Hartford paper tells a story of a decidedly smart woman, who found a man hanging by his neck to a beam in her house. She cut the ropo, threw him down stairs, held his head in a pail of water until life was restored, and then gave him a sound whipping. He afterwards went to her room and showed fight; but with a rolling pin she drove him into another room and locked the door. The next day she gave birth to a whopping boy. Berit is stated that the warehouses in Buffalo are crammed to their utmost capacity with grain, flour and general produce from the West. Fresh cargoes are continually arriving but there is no one to receive them. The banks in many instances have advanced the freight, taking the whole cargo as secu rity. One firm has now thirteen boats lying at West Troy heavily laden with valuable produce, and they are unable to raise the money ($3000) to pay the tolls. DID'T 3111 G HER AFTER ALL.-A paragraph has been aired- in the press for some time that Judge Mason, U. S. Minister in France, had been reprimanded for putting his arm round—the chair of the Empress Eugenie? It kicked up a bobbery hardly less notorious than the gentleman from West Point, who insisted on being presented at St. James in buff. The matter has been duly investigated, and we have the intense satisfaction of know ing that Judge M. did neither hug the Em press nor her chair. zEr Carpenter's Hall, Philadelphia, where the first Continental Congress held its ses sions, is to be fitted up in a manner some what similar to Independence Hall, and sa credly kept as a shrine for the patriotic. St. Paul, Minnesota, with a population of 12,000 souls, has not a single fire engine, a foot of hose, a fire bucket, nor a single public well or cistern ! PHILADELPHIA MARKETS.

Dr. Hardman treats Consumption, B ronchiti s;r; Larryngittis and all diseases of the throat and lungs by Medical inhalation, lately used in the Bromton. Hospital,. London. The great point in the treatment of all human maladies, is to get at the disease in the direct manner.— All medicines are estimated by their action upon the organ`, requiring relief. This la the important fact upon width Inhalation is based. If the . stomach is diseased'we take medicine directly into the stomach. lithe lungs are dise eased, breathe or Whale medicated vapors directly into the lungs. Medicines are 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 lung 4 for it gives us direct access to those intricate air cells, and tubes which lie out 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 tip. 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 stitutionally, expending their immediate and principle*. 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 ac ti on, Its application 10 so simple, that it can bo 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. 011ter Diseases Treated.—ln relation to the following dip eases, either when complicated with lung 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, I..i'ver; Complaints, Dyspepsia, and all other diseases of stomach and bowels, &c. . All diseases of the eYe and ear. Netiralgia, Epilepsy, and all forms of nervous disease. S. D: thaiDYIAN, M. D. No charge for consultation. [Sept. 9,1857.
