TOTAL _WRECK of THE ARCTIC.
PROBABLE Ltigi. OE q'RUSDRED LIVES,
Trobahle Losq if a Boitisk Steamship, with a
Regiment of Troops on Buctrd: !
The ship Lebanon arrived at New York early
on Wednesday morning,
_bringing the sad in
telligence that 6C noble.Ainericars steamship
Arctic, of the Collins line, had 'been sunk at
sea, by a collision, and a large number of her
pagsengers lost. The loss of the President and
City of Glasgow, and now the sinking ,of the
Arctio i forni melancholy epochs in the history
.Of .Atlantic steamships.
=The following detailed account of the terri
ne catastrophe to the Arctic is furnished by
3.11. Geo. H. Burns, the empress messenger of
_Mims .LS:, w o was on .oar , an ortu
pately escaped the perils of the disaster.
.Statement of Mr., Burns.—The steamship
Arctic, wall 226 passengers, exclusive of child
ren, 175 employea, a valuable cargo, and hea
-vy mail, is lost._ Of the more than four hund
red souls who left Liverpool .on the 20th ult.,
full of hope, gayety and health, many return
ing from an European tour of pleasure. only
thirty-two are known to have been saved, and
not more than one hundred can, by any possi
bility, have escaped a watery grave.
In addition to all this, another large steam
er, freighted with hundreds of human beings,
has, in all probability, met a like fate, The
&Tails of the horrible disaster are as follows :
. On Wednesday, September 27, precisely at
12 o'clock, M., in a dense fog, we. came in con
tact with a bark rigged iron propeller, with
black hull, salmon colored bottom, lead colored',
poop and boats, and black pipe. She was
'bound eastward, and had all sail set', with a
strong, fair wind. The speed of the Arctic at ,
the time was about 13 knots an hour. The
shock to us appeared slight. hut the damag_e_,
lo the fttlivevessel was . frightful. Capt. Luce
instantly_ ordered the quarter boats cleared
away, and the chief mate, boatswain and three
sailors wept to her relief; before other boats
left, the order was countermanded.' The arc
tic then described a circle twice round the
wreck, during which time I caught a glimpse
, •of more than t*o hundred people clustered on
her, hurricane - fleck.
----At-thiS-juncturc it was first_ascertained_that
' 6.. .ire had Sustained injury, mid the' water. was
pouring in at our boss. When the first officer I
came alongside to report, the captain was lina
ble 'to take him up, but headed -N,. N. W. in
the hope of making land. Our position on the
prei'ious day, at' 12 o'clock, was • latitude 48
-3,,longitude 45 27. We had run about three
hundred and ten miles from the time of this
observation until the moment of colliSion, and
wCrc supposed to be about 40 miles from Cape
- Race.
The puieps were vigorously worked,
and an an or Chain thrown overboard.; but in
.spite of alMertions - , the engines stopped. and
the water extinguished the fires. Four of the
five other life boats, helieved to have been - well
-provisi , m.d, containing the engineers, sailors,
a few
,passoigers and all the officers, except
She captain and third mate, left the ship'ilt; an
- party, stage. The majority of the passengers
were workin the:pumps—soine-firing the sig
nal, guns, and others launching ,spars. under
the 'direction of Captain Luce. and Mr. Dorian,
the third mate, to form a raft.
order to facilitate this latter work the
sixth 'and' last boat was lowered. Dorian. one
or two.firemen, three of the other passengers
saved, and myself, were busily engaged lashing
•ivater casks and settees to the main yard,'two
top gallantyards, and several smaller spars;
the , captain.
,with a number of gentlemen, pro
tecting the work by keeping back the crowd—
'when a Panic'seized all on board, a rush was
made, passengers and firemen precipitated
themselves headlong over the 'bulwarks on to
'Abe raft, and in a moment our little boat was
full. :Ind in imminent 'danger of being sunk.
In this' emergency, Dorian ordered the rope
held the steamer Co he cut. and with
our hands and axes we paddled from the raft's
side; The mate, Who throughout preserv'ed
great presence of-mind, and
. labored with he
roic energy. cried out : "For God's sake, cap
tain, clear the raft, so that we can work. 1
won't desert the ship while there's a timber
above ivaer."
lint we sea was now flush .with the dead
ligots. In less than three minutes from the
- time he spoke, the-stern sunk—the foam went
belling over the tumbling heap of lonian' b 6.
ings--tuany were dashed finwat d against the
pipe. I heard one wild yell. (still ringing in
my ears.) and saw the Arctic and the strug
gling mass rapidly engulphed. Numbers yet
clung to the imperfectly constructed raft ; but.
alas, we could render them no aid. Our own
situation was no less precarious ; and, cruel as
it seemed, we were forced to abandon them to
fate. Heaven forbid that I should ever Witness
suchrinother scene. We however picked . up
ttfb 'snore men, and then,' with an overloaded,
boat, without oars. tholepios, food or drink,
avoiding with difficulty the fragments of the
- wreck, and passing many dead feinales, pre- •
pared for-a night upon the ocean. - We secured
a' floating pumpkin and cabbage to guard
against immediate starvation, lashed a spar to
the bow of our boat to keep her bead to the
wind tun' sea, and thuS drifted until daylight:
the night was cold and fon , gy, with a heavy
and. in a cramped. drenched and half
naked condition, we suffered terribly.
Without dwelling upon our miseries,
alle
viated mirth be the consciousness that we had
endcavofed to do our duty to our fellow men.
suffice it to say that at 5 o'clock on the after
noon of the 28th, we espied a sail, and raised
a handkerchief to attract attention. We were
successful. With the rude substitute for oars
which we had constructed. during the day by
lashing planks to capstan bars, with a view of
attempting to gain land when the sea subsided,
we pulled towards the ship. On our way-we
passed - the remount of the raft, with one man
-on it apparently alive.
The barque ptuved to be the Huron. of St.
Andrews, N. 8.. Capt. A. IVall. bound for
'Quebec. Our men safe on • board. the noble
inaarted Dot ian, with sonic of the Huron's crew,
returned to the ran and - rescued the poor fel
low who lOr twenty-six hours haul clung tothe
spats. He states that after the steamship sunk,
he counted seventy-two men and four women
en the raft, but at Si. o'clock he was the only
one alive. In the mornitio• two bodies vi

Busxox, Oct. 11.—It is belkved here that it
was the steamer Cleopatra. which left Quebec
on the 24th ult., with the 71st regiment aboard,
that run into the Arctic. Such seems to be
the general impression founded upon reasonable
probabilities.
The excitement here is very great, especial
ly amongst those who have friends aboard.
There are strong hopes that a greater num
ber of the Arctic's passengers were saved than
wield appear from previous reports.
PIIILAISELPHIA, Oct. --There is terrible
anxiety here, as a large number of the passcn

Look at the returns : Pollock's majority is
but 34 ! Johnston's, three years age, was 537 !
No better evidence-than" this could be asked to
prove that a number who heretofore acted with
the opposition are not willing to aid in tramp
ling the -6 . ctit" Ilion and laws of the Union
and State under foot. This is a gratifying fact.
It is also a pleasing result that the Democratic
candiates for Assetlthly and Sheriff, against
whom the most determined and united efforts
of the leading Whigs Land Know Nothings
were directed, are chosen by .handsome ma
jorities. The candidates for Register. and Re

their large majori t ices may be accounted for
from the fact that they were also on the Know

their actions
I Never. indeed, had a 'public man a more en
willing consciousness of duty fulfilled, than
W3l. BILLER. Never has any-man-more stern
-Iy,m e t 01 the-obligations of prinei pl e__and_of
patriotism. Whether we contemplate him as
the -chiefinagistr ate of our beloved State, or
as the representative of the Democratic party,
in either character he Challenges our respect
1 and ! admiration. It is remarkable. that in
1 despite of an extended ,and clandestine antago,
nistu, no serious opposition has been made,
simply because none could be made, to the
1 policy : of his administration. Many of the
I men who reap the benefits- that have resulted
i from this policy, did not hesitate to avow their
tonfidence in the man, and their admiration of
ithiSCourse as Goiernor of Pennsylvania, and
et, so powerful was the enginery of intole
'ranee, that:they voted against him.. Hisnian
ly and resolute opposition to the extension of
chartered monopolies—his earnest and success

assailed by hostile influences from other States
—his ear Tess efforts to:put anend to a Vitiating
paper currency—and his liberal, enlightened;
and victorious support of that great improve

the whole State new avenues of wealth and
poWer- 7 -all these advantages were lost sight
of in order to gratify the designs of those who
! are pledged to ignore, the Constitution of the
rUnited States, and to establish upon these
Ishores the worst proscription that has been
1 known in the history of moderh civilization. ,
Governor Ilummt never stood higher with
~
the people of 'this State than at the presqnt
hour.. Ile can look back over his part in the
I late canvass with pride and pleasure. The
1 ability with which he discussed : all the great
questions of the day, was equalled only by his
franknesS and his courage ; and al thonghlanx
ions for the success of his party and for his
own election, not a word that he has spoken,
and not a line thr.t, he has written, can be re
called to his discredit.
_
i i When his enemies are forgotten, and when
the days of the present intolerance are remem
• tiered with shame by his persecutors. his name
will he cherished as one who was ever faithful
, among the faithless, and firm inthe hour when
great principles were imperilled and assailed.
A - Good Riddance.
Tien we look upon the colu mil led by W3l.
, Btu LE4 in the last canvass, and see how many
true men have stood firm in the tempest of
fanaticism, we feel proud of our noble party—
prouder far than if the flag of dishonorable - vie
, tory had floated over-its ranks. - But. we feel
:proud for another reason. We have been Fe
-1 lieved from the pestilential association of a few
reckless, dishonest, and corrupt men, who as
!
i pine to be leaders in the Democratic party, and
who have at last shown the public the treach
ery they have long cherished in secret. We
allude, now, to such men, as s lleatc Frazer, of
Lancaster, and Ditvid Wihn4-, of Bradford,
the one the avowed' and pledged ally of the
Know . Nothings, the other the volunteer friend
and advocate of Pollock, the Whig candidate
for Governor. We thank 'them for their can
t dor—they have at last-relieved the Democracy
of a burden. No longer can they be quoted
against a party they have betrayed, as the ad
vocates of the men and peasures of our corn
' mon political enemies. Like Van Buren, like
Hives, like Penrose, like Burden, like Dickey,
they have at last been tbrced to admit that they
have taken the bounty of the Whigs, and like
them, they can no longer refuse to put on the
livery of the foes of the Democratic party.
