    Dl Ater on the Coast of Scotland•
Wregt the British Ship Annie Jane—Three Hun
dred and Forlyeight Lives Lost—Terrible Scene.
Our English files by the Niagara announce one
of the most terrible catastrophes on record—the to
tal loss of the ship Annie Jane, Mason commander
belonging to Liverpool, which was driven ashore
on the iron bound coast of Barra Island, during the
recent gales, on the night of Wednesday; the 28th
ult., when no fewer than three hundred and forty
eight passengers—men, women and children—met
with a watery grave. 'The Annie Jane was a large
vessel, and sailed from Liverpool for Quebec and
Montreal on the 9th of last month, with - some 450
emigrants, most of them Irish farhilieS. It h pre
sumed that she had made some progress across the
Atlantic, when she encountered the late teartut
sou:-westerly.gales, which disabled her and ren
dered her unmanageable, and in that hopeless con
dition she was driven back 'and dashed on the ter
rible coast of Barra, one of the Hebrides. With a
'point called Vatersay, where the wreck occurred,
the island is six miles in length and two and a halt
broad, and lies some five miles southwest 01 the
next island. There is a lighthouse on the head,
which is the highest in the United Kingdom, being
680 feet above the level of the sea. Stull is the
terrible character of the coast, however, that there
is little chance of a vessel being rescued when once
it is entangled among the reefs. Several of the sur
vivors contrived to get a passage from the island
over to Tobermory, a small seaport in the Isle of
Mull, and from them the authorities learned that
348 passengers were drowned, and 102, with Mr.
Bell, the chief officer, and 12 of the crew, saved.
We give below portions of the tearful narrative:
• • " • At the time the ship struck all the office - rs
and crew were below, but there were also on deck
a large number of male passengers, who held on
by ropes and rigging, and with feelings 01 despair
contemplated their late. Meanwhile, the great in,
jority of the passengers, including all the women
and children, were below in their ber he; but the
striking of the ship gave them a fearful wakening.
Many rushed on deck in a state of nakedness; wives
clung to their husbands, and children clang to both,
some mute from terror, and others uttering appall
ing screams and eagerly shrieking, 'ls there hope?'
The scene is described by the survivors as ti.e most
agonizing which it could enter into the heart of
man to conceive. After the first shock was over,
the passengers rushed to the boats, three of which
were placed between the mizen mast and the poop,
and the fourth lay on the top of the cooking house
forward. The light boat had already been lost—
But the boats were of no earthly use; for they. were
all fixed down and secured, or lay bottom up.—
While the passengers were thus clustered round the
boats, and within a very few minutes alter the ship
had grounded, she was struck by a sea in frightful
potency, which instantly carried away the dense,
mass of human beings into the watery Waste, and
boats and bulwarks went along with them. At
least 101, of our fellow creatures perished by this
lei. swoop. The wild wail of the sufferers was heard
for a moment, and - then all was, still.
The great-majority of the women and children,
as well us some of the male passengers, remained
'below, either paralyzed by terror or afraid that they
would be washed away in the event of their com
ing upon deck. But their time also had come.—
The frightful thumping of the great ship, taken
in connexion with her car go of railway
iron,' must have immediately beaten the bottom
out of her; and while her fabric was in this
weakened state, another dreadful sea broke on
board and literally crushed that part of the deck
situated between the mainmast and the mizenmast
down uponithe berths below, which were occupied
by terror-stricken women and sleeping children.—
They were kited rather than drowned, as was fully
evidenced by the naaed, mutilated and gashed bo
dies which were afterwards cast on shore. The
main and mizen masts went at the same moment.
This second branch of the catastrophe took place
within a very few minutes alter the passengers and
part of the crew had been swept away from the
deck along with the boats. 'rhe,most of the re
maining seamen and passengers now took reluge
on the poop, which was a very high one, and each
succeeding assault of the sea carried away its vic
tim or victims., In short, within one hour after the
Annie ane struck the remaining stumps at her
masts went by the board, and she broke into three
pieces. n additional number perished at this di,.-
ruption; and all the survivots remained on the poop
with the exceptien GI seven men, who had sscureu
themselves on the top-gallant forecastle. The poop
fortunately floated well. and, as it *as about high
water, the wreck was drifted inwards by the wind
and each heave of the sea, when it finally ground
ed about 4 o clock a. m. The forecastle, with the
seven men, came ashore much about the same
time.
The wreck had been observed trom the island
almost as soon as the day broke- '
and, in the first
instance, seven or eight of the Barra men came
down to render such aid as might be in Iheir pow
er. The remains at the mizeumast were still at
tached by the shrouds to the wreck of the poop.
and by the help of the islanders it was placed so as
to form a sort ot bridge or ladder between the poop
and the shallow water; and as the tide had tio-,
fully ebbed, all the survivors gut on shore without
much ditficulty_by Saran in ' the morning. When
mustered, the survivors were •found to number a
total of 102, 01 whom one was a child, 12 were
women, and 28 belonged to the crew. exclubive of
the captain, who was also saved.
When the poop was drilting ashore he secured
himself upon its skylight. But the departed Iriends
of the survivors were ashore before them, for the
beach was literally lined by their dead bodies, as
well as by the innumerable fragments 01 the bro
ken ship, and the light part of her cargo. None of
the survivors estimate the loss of lite at less than
350, and consider it close upon 400 souls. The lat
ter would be the case it 500 individuals, including
children, were on board, as is generally believed.—
Almost all the cabin passengers perished, including
-Captain Munroe, of Quebec.
Such as mere saved remained by until the tide
thhed, when they waded ashore, the water taking
them nearly to the armpits. At daylight the bay
was strewn with dead bodies to the number 01
nearly 300, greatly disfigured, many of them with
out limbs and beads, and nearly all naked, thereby
showing bow instant must have been their death
and the tearful strength of the waters, which, in so
short a time, made such havoc.
Only one child was saved. It belonged to a hum
ble Irishwoman, who, with her two children, wen"
about to join. bet husband in America. She strug
gled hard to preserve them both, one on her back
and grasping the other in her arms, but when the
:ship parted the latter was dashed into the sea, and
the other remained.
RICHMOND, Nov, 2. 1853
SCENE.- Thomas Board, who was
convicted of the murder of the Barber family in this
State, was executed yesterday. When the trap was
knocked from under him, the rope broke and the
unfortunate man fell heavily to the ground. Much
excitement followed. The stferiff finally re-adjusted
the rope, and the criminal was again placq on the
platform. He seemed to be perlectiy frantic, and
jumped off the 'platform. Another scene of intense
excitement ensued. The prisoner was figßin se
cured, and the sentence of the law fully carried act.
PORE PROSPECTS IR THE WEST:A Jefferson
City, Mobile paper, says: Farmers are offering to
furnish hogs for 21 cents per pound, but whether
that is gross or net weight, it does not say, but
presume it is for net weight of the pork, as other
papers in that State, quote the article at,3 cents.
Kentucky and Indiana papers, have estimated pork
at all prices, from 3 to 5 cents, and speak of hogs
being plenty.

`he Globe.—Tne official paper of Congrest,
and newspaper for the people.—lt will be seen
ay the annexed extract from a letter of General
Washington to David Stewart, dated at New York
17th March, 1790, that the idea of each a paper as
f propose to make the Globe, originated in the
mind of the father of his country. He said :'
"It is to be lamented that the editors of the dd..
ierent Gazettes in the Union do not more generally
and more correctly (instead of stuffing their papers
with scurrility and uonsensicat deciamation which
w would read if they were apprised of their con
tents) publish tae debates in Congress on all great
national questions. The principles upon which
the difference of opinion arises, as well as the de
cisions, would-dren comae fully before the public,
and afford the best data for its judgment." Sparks'
Writings of Washington, vol. 10, p. 84
In surrendering my interest in the organ of
great political party, I •herished the purpose of
continuing. the Congressional Giobe, and, if puller
ale, in time, to derfect.it into °fun, history ofthe
action of Congress, giving the debates accurately
and fully with the proceedings—all stamped with
the variety of an official record. From the passage
ut the letter of General Washington, which I have
quoted, it will be perceived that he thought this
office might be combined with that of a regular
newspaper; and it is certaiu that the avidity of the
public for news of the less important kind greatly
contributes to give wings to the weightier matter
which may be called Congressional news.
Having succeeded in my purpose of perfecting
the reports of the debates in Congress and giving
them the official stamp, I now propose to send
them abroad, in connection with the news of the
day, in sack haste as shall outstrip full and accu
rate intelligence sent from the seat of government
is any other form whatever. It will even antici
pate the scraps of news forwarded to cities within
two hundred and fifty miles of Washington by tel
egraph. Before the eventsthus transmitted are
published in the morning_ papers, (fur instance, of
the city of New York,)the qtone c oatainisig them
will have reached the post ciffide of that city by the
Express Mail of the previous Oght. The process
by which tills will effected I now lay before the
public.
I will have a corps of sixteen 'Reporters in Con
gress; each in succession will take notes during
five minutes, and than retire, prepare them for the
Press, put them slip by slip in the hands of com
positors, and [hue while a debate is going on in
Congress, it will be put in type, and in a few min
utes after it is ended it will be in print. I shall by
this means be enabled to send by the Express mail
ofd o'clock p. m. for the East, lb net and North
and by that of 9 o'clock p. m. for the South,all the
proceedings of Congress up to the ordinary hour of
adjournment. Thus the accurate debates of Con
gress will reach the city, two hundred and fifty
miles from tke capital, before their doily morning
papers are in circulation.
The miscellaneos news I shale careful to
gather from remote sections of the coVntry by tel
egraph. I will obtain from the Executiv.e Depart
ments, through official sources; the matters - .of mo
ment transacted in them, and, through agents em
ployed for that purpose, all . the 'pity news of con
aequance in sufficient time to be put into the Globe
and mailed in the express mail trains. Is this way
I hope to create a new era in the dissemination of
news from Washington before the public mind at a
distance had received its first impressions from ir
responsible telegraphic despatches; or by lettet wri
ters biased by peculir views. -
Washington has now become so great a centre of
political iuterest during all the year—the proceed
ings of the Executive Departments, and the infor
motion collected by them, even during the recess
of Congress, is of so much importance to the inter
-est of every section of the country--that I shall
continue the publication of the daily paper perma
nently, with a view to become the vehicle of the
earliest and most correct intelligence.
It is part of my plan to reduce the price of the
daily paper to halt that of similar daily papers; and
thus I hope to extend its circulation so as to invite
advertisements. I will publish advertisements of
the government. To subscribers in the clues 1
snipe io submit such terms as will induce th. m to
advertise their business in every village through
put the Union, where the Globe is sent natty under
the'franks of members of Congress, all tit whom
take it and some of them a large number of copies.
The installation of a new administration and a
new Congress portends much change in the course
of public affairs as the result of the ni'it session.--
Many vast interests which leers brought up in the
last Congress were laid over by the democratic
majority to await the action it a democratic exec
mauve . The new modelling of the tariff; the ne,
,and system; toe question of giving homesteads,
..nd making every man a freeholder who may
choose to become use; tile approximation Lit thi
Atlantic and Pacific oceans by a national railroad
across the terrritory or the Union; reform in the
Army, Nave, and civi. offices— all these • great
quesudna, with a thousand minor ones, deei)iy at
iecting multitudes of men and every aims in the
Union, will, now being matured by public — a' ;intim
come up tor the guvernment•tf uecision. These
sew issues, co-operating with old ones, coming ma t .
to be disposed Si by new actors on the scene.
Washington, will be apt to ruoiiiiy greatly it not
alter essentially, the party organizations of the
country.
To these elements of interest another is likely
to be introduced by the interposition of the agita
tions of Europe. After nearly lorty years of peace
in Europe, there is an evident restlessness that
now seems fraught with tendencies threatening
war; and if war comes, in all Ilkelinuod there will
follow such universal change that the United States
can scarcely hope to escape as vortex. Indeed,
twin late events it is apparent that our Govern
ment is already drawn into European dill:kettle , .
These circumstances are calculated to draw the
public mind towards the next (long - rose with much
xpectation.
The Daily Globe will be printed on fine paper,
double royal size, with small type, (brevier and
nonpareil,) at five dollars a year.
The Congressional Globe , will also be printed - ?n
a double sheet, in book form, royal cinema size,
each number containing sixteen pages. The Con
gressional Globe paper will be made up of the
proceedings of Congress and the running debates
as given by the reporters. The speeches which
members may choose to write out themselves will,
together with the message of the President of the
United States, the reports of tho Executive Depart
ments, and the laws passed by Congress, be added
in an appendix. Formerly 1 received subscriptions
for the Congressional Globe and Appendix sepa
rately. But this has not been found satisfactory,
inasmuch as it gave an incomplete view of the
transactions in Congress; and therefore I have con
cluded not to sell them apart, considering that
neighbors can have the advantage of both by club
bing in case individuals shall find it too onerous to
be at the charge of both.
To facilitate the circulation of the Congressional
Globe, and cheapen it to subscribers, Congress pas
sed last year a joint resolution making it free of
postage. I annex it, as the law may not be acces
sible to postmasters generally:
Joint resolution providing for the distribution of the
Laws of Congress and the debates thereon.
With a view to the cheap circulation of the laws
of Congress and the debates contributing to the
true interpretation thereof, and to make tree the
communication between the representative and the
constituent bodies:
" Be it resolved by the Senate and House of
Representatives of the United States of America
in Congress assembled, That from and after the
present session of Congress, the Congressional
Globe and Appendix, which contains the laws and
the debates thereon, shall pass free through the
mails so long as the same shall be published by or
der of Congress: Provided, that nothing herein
shall be construed to authorize the circulation of
the Daily Globe free of postage.
Approved, August 6, 1852.
As I sell the Daily Globe at half the price of
similar publications, so the Congressional Globe
and Appendix is sold lot half the cost of so much
composition, press-work and paper. This I can
afford to do, inasmuch as.the subscription of Con
gress alhaost covers the cola of composition, and
this enables me to sell for little more than the cost
of press-work and paper. It requires 'the sale of
about 9,000 copies to reimburse expenses. If 500
only were sold, the cost of each copy would ,be

Th e Perfect Grain Drill and
most Valuable Agricultural Implement. --
A great improvement in Grain Drills, making this
excellent Agricultural Imiolement a perfect Ma
chine, for which letters Ateet were issued Sep
tember 20th, to Mr. Samuel Jenkins, of York co.
The improvement consists in attaching an ad
justable curved cutter of steal, to and through the
drag bar and through the point of the tooth or
drill, in front of the tooth, forming a triple edge
at the point, and enabling the tooth to raise up and
glide over any obstructions, and completely regu
lating the depth of furrow required, and depositing
the grain to the depth, according to the character
'of the soil. The gutter likewise prevents weeds
or stubble from clogging or choking up the mouth
of the Drill. Heretofore iueuperable disadvantages
have attended the use of the Grain Drill, on any
other than a level and even soil ; but by this sim
ple invention the operation of the Machine is made
complete and perfect, and this valuable Agricultu
ral Implement can now be used on uneven, stony
or rocky ground, or on new clearing, where the
stumps have not yet been removed, with the same
easy draught and perfect operation, in Seeding and
Drilling, as on even and clear soil, without jarring
the Machine in the least, or putting the seeding
devices out of gear.
The model and specifications are now at the In
ventor's Institute, Fulton Hall, where J. Franklin
Reigart wiil be pleased to give every intbrmation
to persons interested in the matter, desiring to.ex
amine the same more particularly, or to purchase
County or State rights.
Competent persons desirous of securing the
Agency to sell the County and State rights of this
most useful Ilachine, should apply immediately.

From its agreeable effect in these cases, many find

necessity for it ceased.
From two eminent Pyhysicians in
FAYETTEVILLE, TENN., April 16th, ISM.
Sir:—We have given - o'er Cherry Pectoral an
extensive trial in our practice, and find it to surpass
every other remedy we have or curing affections of
the respiratory organs,
DRS. WEIMER &. HAMPTON.
To singer, and public speakers this remedy is
invaluable, as by its action on the throat and lungs,
when taken in small quantities, it remove■ al
hoarseness in a few hours, and wonderfully
in
creases the power and flexibility of the voice.
'Asthma is generally much relieved, and often
wholly cure.: by Cherry Pectoral. But there aro
some cases so obstinate as to yield entirely to no
medicine. Cherry Pectoral will sure them, if they
can be cured.
Bronchitis, or irritation of the throat and upper
portion of the lungs, my be 'cured by taking Cherry
Pectoral in small and trequent doses. Thouncom
fortable oppression is soon relieved.
Rev. Dr. LANSING, of Bnociatxtv, NEW Yonx,
states I have seen the Cherry Pectoral curs
such cases of Asthma and Brnochitm as leads mo
to believed it can rarely tail to cure those diseases."
For Croup. Give an emetic of antimony, to be
followed by large and frequent doses of the Cherry
Pectoral, until it subdues the disease. If taken is
season, it will not fail to cure.
W hooping cough may be broken up and soon
cured by the use of Cherry Pectoral. 411.
The influenza is speedily removed by this rem
edy. Numerous instances have been noticed. where
whole families were - protected from any serious
consequences, while their neighbors, without the
Cherry Pectoral, were suffering from the disease.
SALEM, Ohio, June 11th, Tool.
Dr. J. C. Ayer :—I write to inform you of the
truly remarkable effects of your Cherry Pectoral in
this place, and in my own family. One of my
daughters was completely cured in three days of a
dreadful Whooping Cough, by taking it. Dr.
Means, one of our very best physicians freely states
that ho considers it the beet remedy wo have for
pulmonary diseases, and that ho has cured more
cases of Croup with it than any other medicine he
ever administered..
Our clergyman of the Baptist Church says that
during the run of Influenza herb this seasons, he
has seen cures from your medicine he could
scarcely have believed without seeing.
Yours respectfully, J. D. SINCLAIR,
Deputy Postmaster,
From the distinguished Prvlessor of t hemistry
and , a stens Nledica, Bowdoiu College. I have .
found the Cherry Pectoral, as its ingreciimds show,
a powerful remedy for colds, and coughs, arid pul
monary diseases.

the Coughs, Colds and Consumptions which carry
from our midst thousands every year. it in indeed
a medicine to which the afflicted can look with
