OGILRV. V«flla1o, Sept. 17,1857. tittiririi BY JOHN B. BRATTON. VOL. 44, political. General Packer in Washington County. Tho X'iltslturg Post of the 28d nit., says “it is astonishing,'.ns well as gr&ifying to the Dem ocrats to witness tho warm anß.enthusiastic re ception with which their, for Gover nor, in every portion ol tho Stoto, Is greeted, tits ftno address, bis sound and honest princi ples and bis eloquence arotwinning him political Qs.woll ns pcrfiflpal’frlonds on cvery-sido. On Monday niorning Gen. PACitrn left this City to attend a gathering of tho Democracy at (ho borough of Washington. At Oanonsbarg ho was.raot by a large delegation from tho bor ough in Carriages, who escorted him to tho Vol entino House, kept by Maj. Hammond. After a slight rest and refreshments, at two o’clock Gen. Packeb proceeded to tlio Court House, I whore tho democrats were already assembled in their strength. Tho house was jammmed—the honeet yeomanry of old Washington having turn ed out en masse to seo and hoar tho man who will bo their next Governor. Tho-Asscmbly was presided over hy Col. W. Hopkins, witli a large number of Vico Presi dents and Socretaiies. Immediately after the organization the President introduced Gen. Wm. F. Packer, who made a most powerfully eloquent and effective address. Every ppsfion of Mr. Wti/Mor and every false doctrine of oUr opponents ho combatted with clenr^convincing and unanswerable arguments, and proved their fallacious gnd anti-national character. His speech was listened to with the deepest* interest, for it is rare in any election campaign that ooy speaker has presented an argument so well di gested, so philosophical, sn national, so unan swerable, so elegantly conceived and so elo quently expressed, as did Gon. Packed on thiq occasion. Tho speech had otollingeffbet which will be /bit and seen at the October election.— From every present indication, wb judge (hat tho Democrats of Washington will seo to it that their county gives a liaodsomo majority for Gon Packer,** OENEB4L PACKER, It is gratifying to observe the manner in which our candidate for Governor is received, on his visit to the various portions of tho S ale. It is n very natural and ordinary thing (hat politicians should be enthusiastic in the imme diate presence of their leader. In Gen* Packer’s ease, however, there is a degree of respect, per* hops wc should say affection, for the person of the man, very rarely displayed. This is not surprising to those who know him most inti- inately. Gen. Packer’s appearance, address! and conversation would make a deep impression anywhere, lie would bo regarded by those who saw him for the first lime. nS a gentleman ol cultivated manners and perfect knowledge of the worltb./ A. ehow him to l>c a man df frank, generous and manly character, with nothing to conceal cither in his lifu or his sentiments; but' those only who krtow bim licet, know to what an oxlcnthc is a man of dose thought, whoso'opinumd arc made up for himself from actual experience and re-' flection,'and with what spirit and eloquence he is capable of defending every conclusion ho has adopted. As ft candidate for Governor, the Democratic parly have been peculiarly fortunate in his se lection. There is perhaps not a man in the Slate better informed on every question which concerns her inicresta. His labors as an editor and his services os a Scnatorand Representative, as Speaker of the House, os Auditor General, Canal Commissioner, &c., have given him an amount of information on every subject of pub lic concern not to bo obtained from books, and not to be acquired short of a reasonably long life. He could, wo will venture to say, give (rom memory tho history, cost, advanta ges, and disadvantages of every canal and rail road improvement in Pennsylvania. In regu lating our banks and currency at different pc riodsla the Commonwealth's history, ho has taken a prominent nml successful part. In protecting her manufacturing interests ho has always been foremost, without advocating any Snnciplfl injurious to tho welfare of sister tales. On the vexed question which his op. ponent has been discussing for ten years, In nearly the same spccdi, Qen. Parker has at all times held the views entertained by the great -Democratic parly of tho Nation, now fast be coming tTio sentiments of all rational men. On tho question of tcnlpcranco, an effort whs made in tho present campaign to create some excite tnent, that might operate to tho disadvantage of (ho julrfy, but it was found on investigation that altliongb exceedingly temperate In his life, Gen. Packer had simply said os a Senator that ho was willing to abide by any decision which tho people by a rote might Winder on the sub ject of tho sale of liquors. No advocate of De mocratic principles could have said less, and no honest man could have required more. In his intellectual accomplishments, Mr. Packcs has few superiors. lie possesses os a writer A facility and readiness which Can sel dom be acquired out of an editor's Chair.— While he seems to form his opinions with cau tion and with n regard to the severest accuracy, his style of expressing them la clear, natural and bold. As a speaker, ho unites with a commanding presence, and a copious flow of language, a quickness m bringing his resources to on attack or reply, which render him a most efficient advocate and a very formidable adver sary, During his term in the Senate, ho took rank os one of the ablest debaters in that body. As the Speaker of' a deliberative assembly ho was equally diatinguiahsa]. . Said a veteran pol itician sitting in the lobby during a stormy de bate In the House over which Gen. Packer was presiding, “That man never Imd hla equal as Speaker except m Henry Clay.” As a Icgisla tor, ho had another quality which: in -those times especially should not pass- unnoticed.— Every man know him to be pure. A breath of of suspicion never fell upon his namo. The thought never arose in any human breast that he had bettayed a trust or forfeited a confidence reposed in him. Ho has yet to exhibit, these , qualities iu a higher sphere, and to that he will be transferred by the popular will on tho sec ond Tuesday of Oclob«%-kf^mj.

The belief among the crcvrwas (hat tUe cnginoer had left the steam go down, so that, at last, .the vessel got into the,- trough {of-tho: probably ■ Looi~ i n water—first by its pouring in on the deck, and. thgi by a general s{rnimngorhcr limbers which admitted it freely in.

Immediately (he passengers and crew organized themselves to pump out the water.

Wo worked from Friday .afternoon nil she went down, at 8 on Saturday night, at (ho pumps, and bailing out the water in every way; but with little effect. The pumps were So out of order that they were scarcely of no use. Wc saw that the ship was about sinking, and as many of us as could seized life preservers, of which a largo lot was on board, puugh to give one to every person there, but Ihe greater number were below, and wc could not get at them. These life preser vers were each capable of floating a man. About three minutes before thevcssel lurched down, stern foremost, I was swept off die deck by a heavy sen, but as I was going down, 1 was ennght at by three or four men who were in the water, who pulled off my life preserver in the struggle. I rose up. and being a good swimmer, kept afloat. When the vessel went down, I just laid under her bows—her bow sprit hit me on the shoulder, and I should have been carried down, but she went a little aft and cleared me. A fearful nqisc followed her going down/ It continued for some ten minutes.— Then all was still. Every one on board knew she was bound to gO’doWn immediately- Fif teen or sixteen locked themselves in the state rooms, saying that they would rather die there than godown struggling with death in the wa ters, ' Five Or sjx were sick In their births, and perished that way. ■ 1 was fortunate enough to seize a peace of board about three feet long ami fourteen indies wide, and this, wilti tlicaid of swimming, kept me afloat.

Towards morning t felt very cold in deed. from the water dashing over and. around me, but used every effort not to yield. About six o’clock on the mbrnlngofMonday, 13th, I swam up to the Norwegian barque El* len, which lay to the windward of ns. I liad seen her an hoar before. 1 I was taken on board and treated very kiiylty; they gave us dry clothes, food, mid did everything they could to help us. When I was washed overboard, I had no coat om After the vessel went down, and ! had got out of tho Crowd, 1 pulled of my bools, in t(iQ water, (and a difficult thing it was,) by standing in tho wafer, which I could do, as I swim well.' * * ■ ■ The ElUn saved forty eight, bcsldcfe 1 myself.
