ANOTHER TORPEDO DISASTER LASS OF
THE STEAMER MAPLE LEAE.
[From the Jacksonville (Fla ) Penins uM, Ap. 11
About four o'clock th it morning, the steamer
Maple Leaf, as she was on her return trip from
Pilatka, twelve miles above Jacksonville, near
Black Point, a short distance above Bend's plan
tation, was blown up by a rebel torpedo, and im-.
mediately sank in about fifteen feet water, nothing
being visible but her upper deck and smoke"-stack.
At this place there is ebend in the river, which is
some three miles wide. Camp Finegan is distant
about five miles, and the rebel videttes are sup - , osed
to patrol down to the river bank. The Maple
Leaf left here night before last to convey s detach
ment of troops to Barton's, up the river, and ban
not discharged her cargo brought from Hilton
Head, which consisted mainly of camp equipage
of three regiments.
A letter from Jacksonville, of the Ist of Apra,
furnishes the following particulars of this affair :
The steamer Maple Leaf left Jacksonville on
Wednesday evening, with troops on board, boned
for Pilatka. She safely reached her destination
on Thursday morning. and at eleven o' clock last
evening started on her return to Jacksonville.
At four o* clock this morning, when opposite
Buckley's Bluff, near hlandarino Point, abon'
twelve miles from Jecksonville, she struck a tor
pedo, planted in the channel. A most teirific
explosion followed. Her entire bows were blown
off. and she rapidly began to fill. In ten minutes
she was completely sunken, only a portion of her
upper works appearing above the water.
Immediately upon toe explosion the boats were
lowered and manned, and all the passengers, some
sixty in number, were safely transferred.
Four of the crew, who were in the forecastle,
were drowned. Their names are as follows:
Benjamin Wiggin, fireman.
Charles teumner. fireman.
Simeon :Filed, deck hand.
Eli Foster, deck hand.
No other person was Injured.
The passengers and crew having been placed in
the boats, were rowed down to this city, where
they arrived at nine A. M. Among them were
Capta. Langdon and Chadwick, of Gen. Hatch's
stair The wife and child of Captain Chadwick
were also en board.
The torpedo, which beyond all doubt was lint in
position yesterday, after the upward trip of the
Maple Leaf, struck the ill-fated steamer squarely
under her foremast, which was thrown out of her
like an arrow from a bow. The water rushed in
with the utmost rapidity, and the feeling of sinking
Was likened by the captain to the sensation expert
exited when coming down in a swing.
In the midst of the darkness and in spite of the
terrible shock the utmost order was maintained
among all on board. Apprehensions that the re
bels on shore might put out and capture the entire
party prevented them, however, from attempting
to save anything but their own persons. The bee
gage of two or three regiments was still in the
hold, and is now ender about three fathoms of
water.
Captain Dale, commander of the Maple Leaf,
lost all he had. -
Lieutenant. Commander Lewis, of the gun-boat
Mahaska, commanding the St. John's flotilla, in
the absence of command& Balch, ordered the gnu.
boat Norwich up to the wreck immediately on
learning of the catastrophe, with instructions to
save 'what could be saved, and to remain by the
vessel all night. The Norwich has just left.
The Maple Leaf was an old boat, formerly used
on Like Ontario, but was nevertheless of great
service as a transport. She came into this Depart.
merit with Foster' a expedition, about a year ago,
as the flag-ship of Gerieral Ferry, and was the
flag-ship of General Seymour on the expedition to
Florida two months ago.
Another Jacksonville letter of the 4th instant
says :
General Hatch sent out a small force on the
Ring's and Jacksonville roads, yesterday after
neon, to reconnoitre the position of the enemy and
ascertain its strength.- The rebel pickets were en
countered about flee miles outside the intrench
meats, and a skirmish ensued, resulting in the re
treat of the enemy to Cedar Creek, ten miles dis
tant.
The following were wounded on our side : Cor
poral Hawes and privates- Copeland and Part-
ridge, all of Company B, Stevens's Battalion, 4th
Massachusetts Cavalry; private Ward, Company
F, 40th Massachusetts Mounted Infantry; private
Bunbaker, 75th Ohio Volunteers.
The reconnoissance, I understand, was ordered
on information that the enemy was withdrawing
from our trout. Whether this information was
proved to be correct I have not learned.
Among the deserters brought in to-day, and there
were seventeen of Them, was a captain of a Georgia
R e h i mmts who Wished to take the oath of alle
giance.
I am informed that it is in contemplation to raise
a regiment of loyal Floridian volunteers , many of
whom profess a willingness to enlist in our ser
vice.
By the arrival of the Boughton, last evening, we
have intelligence from Pilatka np to yesterday
noon, at which time all was quiet in that vicinity.
On Friday night, hdwever, four of our cavalry
pickets were captured by the enemy, who took
them off so silently and adroitly that their absence
was not known until the following morning.
The steamer Barriet A. Weed, with a detach.
ment of troops under Capt. Smith, Provost Mar
shal of Pilatka, went up the river to Fort Jackson,
about thirty miles above Pilatka, ou Friday after.
noon. The party was landed and surrounded a
house, in which were nine members of a Georgia
cavalry regiment, who were made prisoners.
Thirteen horses, with equipments complete, were
also taken.
) • A. Sergeant and two men, absent when the party
arrived, subsequently came in, and were also cap
tured. The prisoners came down last evening.
Caplan). Smith, with his detachment, is still at
-Fo ptur esrt Jackson, in bright hopes of making still other
ca.
Deserters inform us that a party of rebels were
Iying in wait at Buckle's Bluff, and saw the Maple
Leaf blown up, but did not dare to attempt the
capture of the passengers, whe appeared to be too
numerous.

eregar, the Principe' of the A .Girla' High
School. in his defence, says that ciftain features
of the last examination ba been seized upon ny
the Principals ot the Girls' Grammar School, to
destroy the school, and thus remove -the standar,i
by which the results ot their leaching are peri.tdi
cally Fres. ntsd lo public inspection. In concind
ing, he say,:
"in submitting this statement, together with
the teetiminy which I have adduced during this
examination, permit MP to add that in this oppo-,
Fitloll tome and the school of which 1 have had the
honor ano pleasure ot being the Principal for the
last seven years, I have discovered two classes of
opponents—one actuated by feelings of hostility
against myetilf, and the crher by the desire to have
tue school entirely abolished. Should those of the
form, r class succeed in a icrimplishing their pnr
pote—my removal—lt will be a mere-personal
matter, to be borne by nays. If and those dependent
upon me. I am not yet quite ilitty-one years of
age, twenty-two of which I have spent in the ser
vice of the public scn.-ols of my native city,
and my removal from the position which I now
occupy may be the last installment due me tor my
services lint should those of the latter class suc
ceed in their objsct, and accomplish the destruc
tion of the sch 01, it a iii be a public calamity.
Philadelphia will bee fit subject for 'gratula
tion, if at any future time she can boast of lust
such a school, and taught and 'raged in just
such a manner- as is the present iris' High and
Normal School "
A copy of an act of the Le islatnre was read,
which provides that no per on shall be a (Joe
troller who is not at the ea e time a member of
the Sectional Board. It w s referred to a special
