Shipwreck in Hid-Ocean—A Yankee Cap tain saves a British Crew. BosToN Jan. 14.—The bark Fredonia, Capt. Burke, arrived to-day from Fayal, and reports, Jan. Ist, lat. 41° 30', long. 53°, fell in with the British ship Gratitude, Capt. lticSlother, from Liverpool, Nov. 19th, for New York, in a leaky condition, and it being heavy weather, and the ship laboring very hard in a high sea,, Captain Burke was requested to lay by and take off the crew and passengers, to which he consented. The crew was composed of 33 men and she ."had 273 emigrant .passengers—making a total of 306 persons. Owing to the rough, weather the process of transferring so large a number of people from one, ship •to the other was not completed until the third day from the time of falling in with the wreck, but they were all finally rescued and brought to this port. Captain Burke dis played great magnanimity on the occasion, and his conduct throughout was marked by kindness. Having got all hands off safely,it was found impossibleto stow away so.many people on board hie vessel, which was a small sized bark, but he courageously took the responsibility of throwing over board sufficient'eargo to make room for them, and nearly all the good between decks went overboard. All hands were then put on short allowance, as his own stores were getting low, and no provisions were saved from the ship to feed the crowd of hungry emigrants. Each person was allowed but half a pint of water and one biscuit per day, - which is the only sustenance they have re ceived for the past eleven days. As soon as the above facts became known after the bark was signaled below this port, . s steamer was despatched to tow her up, and on her arrival the survivors were - placed in Riddell's large carriage-hall and had all their wants generously attended to by the city authorities. Capt.Mc.Slother makes the following state went: Left Liverpool Nov. 19th, with 275 . passengers. Had heavy weather most of thepassage. On Dec. 21st experienced a hurricane, the ship laboring very heavy. At midnight sprung a leak, and found four feet eleven inches of water in the hold. Or ders were then given to put on all the pumps, six in all. The passengers were or dered up, and some put to work on the pumps and others in discharging cargo. About 300 tons of cargo were thrown over board. As the ship was as far as long. 53.50 it was my intention to 'put into Halifax, but the Fredonia heaving in sight on Jan. Ist, the passengers became dissatisfied and wished to leave the ship, refusing to pump any . longer. I offered to pay 150 of them daily wages 'if they would stay on board and pump, but on Jan. 3d the passengers and crew abandoned the ship, which had three feet and three inches of water in her. We had four deaths on the passage; and Wm. Cavanaugh, a eailor, fell from aloft and was inelsotly killed. The Pacific. SAN FBANcisco, Jan. 12.—The steamship Colorado has arrived with the passengers from New York on Ddcember 21. She reports the death of Captain B.W. Scott, late commanding the United States steamer Saginaw, at Acapulco on January 5, after three weeks' sickness from fever. Mining stocks are reported better.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 13.—Steam commu nication with Honolulu was opened to-day, by the sailing of the steamship Ajax. Among the passengers was Madame Anna Bishop, the vocalist. A private letter from Valparaiso says the blockade of the port of Talcuahano has been raised. . _ A letter dated Acapulco, Jan. Sth, says an imperial force of 3,000 men, sent from the city of Mexico, was advancing towards that point i irresistibly. They had passed the Rio s cala, defeated Gen. Junius, and taken possession of Chilapa. Mining stocks are weaker. Savage, $700; Chollar Potosi, $150; Gould & Curry, $870; Crown Point, $585; Yellow Jacket, $460; Imperial, $ll7. Greenbacks, over the counter, are at 72i. General Sherman. NEW ORLEANS, January i3.—The Alex ander (La.) Democrat publishes a letter from Oeneral W. T. Sherman to a friend in Rapids Parish, in which he contradicts the general impression that his appointment as Super intendent of the Louisiana Military Acade my at Alexandria, before the war, was due toßragg or Beauregard. He also contro verts the impression that when he left Loui siana he was pledged not to enter into ser vice against the South. He did say at Alex andria what would be the inevitable result of secession; and at New Orleans, on the eve of his departure for St. Louis, he might have said to Bragg that he was not going North to seek military service, which was true. He refused to enter the volunteer force first called out by President Lincoln, because he considered the whole South would become involved in a war ivhich could be handled only by vast armies of regulars. Prisoners Captured by General Sheridan —The Order to Disarm the Negroes Re voked. NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 13.—Gen. Sheridan, in replying to a letter in the New York Daily News, publishes a letter in the Cre scent, showing that he captured as prisoners, more men than Early reports was his entire force. . . . . . _ The Adjutant General of Mississippi has revokea the order to disarm the negroes,the apprehended danger having passed over.

Smi'vexiaAmsitt.—The following amus ing protest against the stipulation, "no followers allowed," which is worthy of the "helps" of Yankeeland, has been received by a lady in Southport, who had engaged a domestic to enter on her duties early in January; am - very sorry that I am obliged to give up the engagement I made —namely, that of becoming your servant— on account of two or three things. Ist, That it is impossible for me to come on the third, because I don't know when I am leaving here; and when , I do go, I must have a month or six weeks at home. 2d, That I don't like to go to church on a Sun day afternoon, ' and be deprived of the evening; for on an afternoon I can't get as much good as in the evening, because it is such a sleepy time. 3d, That my intended won't consent fot me to come on those con ditions—that he must not come to the house. Hoping that these are sufficient reasons for me not becoming your servant, I remain," k PuritanPuritanildhoiod ./ RD'S "LIFE OF - JOHN 11E0.7 ; " ; FROM REV. DR. BRAIN' BRAIN' We can form a very ready conception of the early life of John - B ainerd. The writer's grandfather was his ontemporary, and a deacon in thek churc of Haddam, only twelve years his junior, being born in 1732, and died in 1815, aged eighty-four. My own father was born in 1754, resided in Haddam fifty years, within" ti!iree miles of John home and early home and in possesslon of all his faculties, died • Lewis county,N.Y., 1838, aged eighty-four. We had enforced on sin early life—With too little effect, we fe r —many of the prin ciples which formed the characters of David and John Brainerd one hundred and fifty taught . a years ago. A boT" noy was 1y _lght -pi spect for his parents, (teachers, guardians, and implicit, prompt bedience. If he un dertook to rebel, "his ill was broken" by persistent and adequa punishment. 1.3,,z, He was accustomed eve morning and even ing to bow at the family altar; and the Bible was his ordinary read ng-book in school. He was never allowed to close his eyes in sleep without prayer o his Billow. At a sufficient age, im caprice, slight Ill ness, nor any condition of roads or weather, was allowed to detain him from church. In the sanctuary Jae was required to be grave, strictly attentive, and able on his return at least to give the text. From sundown Sat urday evening until th 4 Sabbath sunset his sports were all suspended, and all secular reading laid aside; while the Bible, New England Primer, Bunyan's Pilgrim's Pro gress, Baxter's Saints' Best, etc., were com mended to his ready attention and cheer fully pored over. . He was taught that his blessings were abundant and undese ed, his evils rela tively few and merited, nd that he was not only bound to conten ent, but gratitude. He was taught time as a talent to be always improved; that industry was a car dinal virtue, and lazine4s the worst form of original sin. Hence heust rise early, and make himself useful before he went to school; must be diligentthere in study, and be promptly home to dol "chores" at even ing. His whole time mit of school must be filled up by some service, such as bringing in fuel for the day, cutting potatbes for the sheep, feeding the swine, watering the horses, picking the berries, gathering the vegetables, spooling the yarn and running all errands. He was expected never to be reluctant, and not often tired. He was taught that ii was a sin to find fault with his meals ,v his apparel, his tasks, or his lot in life. Labor he was not allowed to regard as a burden, nor abstinence from any improper indulgence as a hardship. His clothes, woolen and linen, for sum mer and winter, were mostly span, woven, and ;made up by his mother' and sisters at home; and, as he saw the whole laborious process of their fabricatidn, he was jubilant and grateful for two suit, with bright but tons, a year. Rents were carefully closed and holes patched in the "everyday" dress, and the Sabbath dress always kept new and fresh. He was expected early to have the "stops and marks," thel "abbreviations," the "multiplication table," the "ten com mandments," the "Lord's Prayer," and the "Shorter Catechism," at his tongue's end. Courtesy was enjoined as a duty. lie must be silent among his, superiors. If ad dressed by older persons; he must respond with a bow. He was to how as he entered and left the school, and pow to every man or woman, old or young. rich or poor, black or white, whom he met on the road. Special punishment was visited on him if he failed to show respect Ito the aged, the poor, the colored, or Ito any persons whatever whom God had v sited with infirmities. He was (thus taught to stand in awe of the rights of humanity. Honesty was urged asl a religious duty, and unpaid debts were represented as infamy. He was allowed to be sharp at a bargain, to shudder at dependence, but still to prefer poverty to deception or fraud_ His industry was not urged by poverty, but duty. Those who imposed upon him early responsibility and restraint led the way by their example, and commended this example by the plosperity of their fortunes and the respectability of their position as the result of these virtues. He felt that they governed and restrained him for his good, and not their own. He learned to identify himself with the interests he was set to prlmote. Reclaimed every acre of his father's ample farm, and every horse and ox and pow and sheep be came constructively his, and he had a name for each. The waving ' harvests, the gar nered sheaves, the gathered fruits, were all his own. And besides these, he had his in dividual treasures. He knew every trout hole in the streams; he Was great in build ng dams,snaringr abbits,trapping squirrels, and gathering chestnuts i and walnuts for winter store. Days of election, training, thanksgiving, and school intermissions, were bright spots in his life. His long win ter evenings, made cheerful by sparkling fires within, and cold, clear skies and ice crusted plains and frozen streams for his sled and skates, were full of enjoyment. And then he was loved by those whom he could respect, and cheered by that future for which he was being p_ - epared. Religion he was taught to regard as a necessity and luxury, as well as a dut . He was - daily brought into contemplati n of the Infinite, and made to regard hi self as ever on the brink of an endless bein . With a deep i sense of obligation, ake n, sensitive con- science, and a tender he rt, the great truths of religion appeared in h s eye as sublime, awful, practical realitie , compared with which earth was nothin . Thus he was made brave before men I r the right, while he lay in the dust before od. 1 Such was Haddam training one hundred years ago. Some may lift their hands in in horror at ; this picttire; but it was a process whic made moral heroes. It ex hibited society in whih wealth existed without idleness or profligacy; social eleva tion without arrogance; abor without de gradation, and a piety wich, by its energy and martyr endurance, I could shake the world. We are not to suppose that the boyhood of John Brainerd under th' se influences was gloomy or joyless; far fr m it. Its activity 4 was bliss; its growth w a spring of life; its achievements were vi tones. Each day garnered some benefit;l and rising life, marked by successive a cumulation, left a smile on the conscienc and bright ' and reasonable hdpe for the f ture. We might have desire that this Puritan training had left childh od a little larger 1 indulgence,—had looke with interest at present enjoyment as we 1 as at futu.regood, —had smiled a little in re lovingly on the innocent gambols, the • ging laughter, the irrepressible mirth of boyhood; and had y frowned less severely on imperfections clinging to human natu e itself. We might think that, by insistin _ too much on ob ligation and too -little on privilege,'—too much on thelaw and too little on the gospel, —too much on the sever' y and too little on the goodness of the Del y,—the.conscience may have been stimulat-d at the'expense of the affections, and mien fitted for another world at an ttnnecessar - sacrifice of their ' amiability and' happin•ss in the present life. A Blit •in leaving this P ritan training, the world "has gone farthe . and fared worse:" To repress the iniquity o the age and land, to save our young men fo r thernselves, their country, and their God I believe we shall gain most, not by Inaoring childhoodPs caprices and sneering, a strict householda, strict governments, and trict Sabbaths, but by going back to many f the modes which 1 of any thing at table, 011'D like your mother's ;Din."

' The Progression of Vegetable and Animal It is curious to consider the progress of vegetable and animal liie, and if, .not too fanciful, .to trace the analogy of the laws which regulate the migration of. trees and plants as well as the human family. The discovery of this country is comparatively too recent to furnish such marked illustra tions of the progress of vegetable or animal distribution as the old world. But look, for example, to England, where, two thousand years ago, its north plains did not yield the elm, the linden, the sycamore, the poplar, the acacia, the cultivated fruit trees and plants of every kind which now loads its fields with plenty; and where the rich pines and firs, which now beautify the landscape, were poorly substituted by such evergreens as the box, the ye* and the holly. So with Greece, the hardy plants of its ancient Flora have receded from the plains to the moan tains,or almost entirely disappeared,and the linden and the yew, the beach and horn bean, have given place to another class of plants thick leaved,hard leaved,thorny and prickly, for the most part evergreens, carob trees, oleasters, arbutus, pistachios, olean ders, myrtle and stately pines. From the plains of Italy the beach forests -have retreated to the gorges at the Apen nines, and have given place to the luxuriant chestnut, which now clothes with thick forests the lower slopes of the mountain. The chestnut seemsto have been an especial favorite with the cliate, as its fruit has been with the people f Italy. Introduced eci li there about two cent ries before the Chris tian era, it has b me the characteristic tree of the lower mou tain regions of Italy. So the orange, the lemon and the eitron, now domesticated throughout Italy, were comparatively unknotvn to the ancients. The citron was known to the Italians as the "Median Apple," and was not introduced until the third century after Christ, while lemons were brought by the Saracens, and oranges by the Portuguese from their tropical possessions in the East. Maize and rice were unknown to the ancient Italians, while cotton is of recent introduc tion, and is now cultivated in large fields at the southern foot of Vesuvius. And, so the white or silkworm mulberry, brought about the sixth century from the East, is now the commonest of all trees in the richer parts of Italy, furnishing the crude material out of which the rich vel vets of Genoa are made, and giving to every peasant woman the luxury which a Roman empress would have envied—silk stockings. Wherever the hardy vegetation of the North meets the product of the tropical sun,uuder conditions of climate endurable by both,the greater vitality of the latter gives it the mastery in the great battle for existence. The progress of vegetables is especially shown in the cereal productions, the law of their development having always been from the central and temperate towards the colder regions of the earth. The Indian corn and the potato of America have spread from the tropics to the frozen seas of Europe,aml . the cabbage, belonging originally to the Mediterranean region, is now the principw food of the Russian peat-ant. The procession of the human race, like that of the vegetable kingdom, has been from the centre towards the colder regions. Not to speak of the first great emigration of Japhetb, who carried with him the "promise of enlargement," whose immediate desceu dents founded Joppa, or Jail's, on the Medi terranean shore, the oldest city in the world after Jerusalem, as they passed from Asia to the subjugation of Europe, let us con Sider the relative power of those cf his de scendants, who, having passed to the colder regions of the North, returned with the refluent wave. of conquest upon the') brethren whom they had left behind in the first migration. With hardier frames and more commanding aspects they return t. the conquest of the so-called feebler races o: the South, but in the midst of their con quests they perish and are extinguished. The children of the South gradually pene trate northward; their more prolific multiplication, and tougher, more essentially vigorous nature finally predominates; they efface tlie type of the Northern race, and ulti utately it disappears. Look at the horde which descended and spread over th• regions adjacent to the Mediterranean up in the fall of the Roman empire. They have vanished, or are scarcely to be recognized by antiquarians among the descendants of their former subjects. The tall figures, golden hair, powerful frame and blue eye of the historic Gaul, may possibly be found in the marshes of Flanders, but the un civilized, brown skinned, black haired, restless, active being who inhabits his an cient possessions, the province of France, lies supplanted and rooted out the former proprietors. Where are the purer Northern breed of Germany? Driven back to the . shores of the Baltic they have yielded to the general European type—the olive skin and dark hair. But the original Greek trans planted into Provence, the Moor into Spain, few in number originally, have impressed their characteristics upon the general population. So with the Norman and the Saxon—the former has never relinquished the conquest which he achieved over the latter in Great Britain. The law seems to ba universal for vegetable animal and intellectual life. From the cen tre to the circumference the pressure is always outward, and whenever the refluent wave returns from too great accumulation of its volume, it is only to be mingled and ab sorbed in the original mass, perhaps again with tts restored qualities of nitrous fire and reproductive energy, to return, once more to spread over inhospitable wastes. The analogies of ocean currents furnish the completest as well as the happiest illustra tion of the all-pervading law. Piled up under the tropical sun the great ocean wave turns first towards the Gulf, and flowing northward, its warm current is dispersed upon the shores of Newfoundland, and passing around by Iceland, thence across to the northwest coast of Europe, it comes skirting the North Sea, and so down, until it is lost again in the great volume of the Atlantic. Thus all nature shows that from the centre to the circumference, and from circumference to centre, the harmonious procession of activity is maintained. refound re- A. British Opinion. [From the London Herald, Dec. Z 9 ] The "Concise Statement" of the American Postmaster General is one of the many docu ments whose contents contradict their titles. It reminds one of a renowned exordium to a special sermon by a popular preacher, who, after keeping his audience in rapt at tention for a couple of hours, struck them with sudden panie by saying that "after these few preliminary observations we shall proceed to place before you a complete view of the subject suggested by our text." .Whether any intrepid hearer remained for the fulfillment of the promise we know not, but speaking with reference to the matter under notice, we can bntaver that a perusal of the "Concise Statement" leaves us desi ring nothing so little as an opportunity to wade through the lengthy report from which it has been abstracted. Like all American state papers, Presidents' ,messages, official despatches~ ambassadorial letters, guberna torial addresses,senatorial and congressional lucubrations, the statement runs to a por tentous length and a painful particularity. It may be, however, that these characteris tics are unavoidable, and certainly they are to some degree appropriate in •al Nation which boasts of so many big things—ocean lakes, sea-like rivers, and boundless prai ies to say nothing of the bigffest army the World has known in modern days, and the biggest national debt ever contracted in four years, in any days. And it is only fair to admit that the postal arrangerneuts are on ELPHIA. MON DA Y, JANUAR a corresponding . scale.

WORDS IN USE.—The peasants of England have not more than 300 words in their vo cabulary. The ancient sages of Egypt, so far as we know from their hieroglyphic in scriptions, used but- 685 words. A well educated person in England or America seldom uses more than about 3,000 or 4,000 words in actual conversation. Accurate thinkers and close reasoners, who avoid vague • and general expressions, and wait till they find the word that exactly fits their meaning, employ a larger stock; and elo quent speakers may rise to a command of 10,000. Shakspeare, who displayed a great variety of expressions than probably any writer in. any language,, produced all his plays with about 15,000 words. Milton's works are composed of 8,000; and the • Old Testament says all that it has to say with 5,642 words. ABSCONDED.—The businem community was shocked yesterday by the report that Mr. Charles H. Carr, who had been en gaged in brokerage transactions for many years past, at No. 30 Broad street, had ab sconded to Europe, having previously drawn from the bank a sum of seventeen thousand dollars, the property of the firm of which he was a member. The firm sus pended payment yesterday morning; but it is stated that the interruption of business will only be temporary, the loss sustained affecting none but Carr's partners. Ru mors found credence that Mr. Carr had fled to Europe and forsaken his wife and family for the purpose of joining a young actress, who left the countrya few - days previous; but as yet these stories rest on no positive foundation.-24 Y. Herald. A PLISrCKT COLONEL.—We hear that a few nights since the residence of Col. McKendry, late of the 2d Massachusetts Cavalry, in Milton, was the object of burglarious at tempt on the part of three thieves, whose noise awakened the Colonel from repose. Taking a brace of revolvers in his hands and not waiting to dress, he went out of the house, discovered the three rogues in a heap, brought his tubes to bear upon them and ordered them underpenalty of death to enter a shed and make no attempt to escape. They sullenly obeyed. He then held them at Bay until his family brought his clothing, having assumed which,he bound the would be robbers and marched them to the lock up.—Boston Herald. Mr, Ex-TIAILwAY Krsu.—l met the other day in Pall-Mall, says the correspon dent of the Belfast News Letter, in circum stances of apparent indigence, a person who once tilled a large space in our cotemporary history. He was attired in a shabby black frockcoat and old greasy hat, and had neither gloves nor greatcoat, although the weather was very cold. He carried in his hand a small paper parcel, which looked as f it COD ta in ed scinething recently purchased at a neighboring cook-shop.
