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.

the first Continental Congress held its ses

what similar to Independence Hall, and sa

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.
