THE OCEAN YACHT RACE, ‘
Banks—The Vessel Supposed ;
to be the Henrietta—Har
row Escape from a
Collision, &o>
[From to-day's N. V. World.l
The ship American Congress, whioh ar
rived at tods port yesterday from London,
imports havlng eeen a yacht some four hun
dred and fifty miles from Sandy Hook, one
hundred miles east of George’s Bank, off
Nantucket, Maine, on toe morning of Tues
day the 15tih. She was lying to under a
balance reef mainsail and jib, with her head
to the eastward, : She was not able to dis
tinguish her nameor see her signals, if any,
Otoe Henrietta would appear to un
doubtedly be toe yacht seen thus. On leav
ing Sandy Hook on toe llto she took an E.
S.E., toe others taking a S, S. E. coarse.
This;will readily account for toe other yaohts
not being seen, as one day’s sailing on anch
courses would place along distance between
her and either the Fleetwing or toe Vesta.
For toe first day or so that toe yaohta*were
seen out toe weather was favorable, toe
wind being with the Henrietta. Captain
Richard, - of toe brig| Arabian, reported a few
days since,it will be remembered toat on toe
13to hesighted a yacht displaying a bine
flag, in latitude 40.30, longitude 60.56. It
was argued from this that toeyaoht was toe
Henrietta, and that she was making for the
gulf stream, and a very wise thing to do.
This newß “two days later” wouhf seem to
lurtoer denote the yacht seen by Captain
Richard to be toe same as that Been by toe
American Congress, and she toe Henrietta
to a dead certainty. Supposing her to have,
on the evening of toe 13to, enoonntered the
rough weather met by Captain Page, of toe
American Congress, she could not have
made much better way, and her position as
described would appear not only a possible
but a very probable one.
As any matter relating to toe absent
yachts must be of interest, we publish Cap
tain Page’s statement.
At 61 o’clock on the morning of toe 15th,
while about one hundred and twenty miles
east of George’s Bank, We observed a yacht
which we supposed to have come from New
York. She appeared in sight suddenly, not
having been previously discernible in toe
heavy snow storm, which prevailed. A
heavy gale was blowing at the time, but the
yacht appeared to be ably managed. She
was lying-to under a reef mainsail and jib.
with her head to' toe eastward. Under toe
circumstances, the seamanship displayed by
her commander was excellent.
Those on board who had seen toe Henri
rietta supposed toe yacht before ns was that
vessel, as she answered to her description.
She had a short topmast, and was otherwise
like toe Henrietta:
When we first noticed toe yacht she was
about three ship’s lengths from ns, while we
were running at about eleven knots an hour.
A collision at toe moment seemed almost
inevitaole, hut we succeeded in passing her
some distance. The chance at toe moment
of her escaping been run down by us seemed
very small indeed. There was no time to
exchange signals or inquire toe name of
toe vessel, as we were engaged in toe effort
to dear the yacht and avoid a collision.
Besides, the snow was blinding, and fell in
flakes bo large and so thickly as to obstruct
our vision. A terrific gale was blowing
from the northeast at toe time. Had toe
American Congress been as badly managed
as toe steamer Scotland, toe loss of toe
yacht, whichever she was, would have been
a foregone conclusion.
The steward of the ship American Con
gress, who paid particular attention to the
yacht, states that she was either toe Henri
etta or toe Fleetwing. Those on board, he
said, were engaged in toe attempt to pre
vent a collision with toe American Con
gresß. Hisbelief that toe vesselwasoneof
the yaohts competingin the race from New
York to the Isle of Wight, was confirmed
by toe foot that no pilot boats, one of which
she must otherwise have been, proceed out
so far on the ocean.
Up to the time the American Congress
saw the yacht she had had some very rough
weather. The cold was so intense
several of her crew were badly frost bitten
The gale in which she was in on Righting
her was most terrifio and rough weather
marked her passage from that time till she
arrived at this pork
From this it will be seen that no good,
easy time has been spent by the adven
tnrons yachtmen since leaving here, now
tendays since. At the rate the yacht had
gone, and meeting with ninnim
weather, the passage, if made it all,
and of that there are doubts could
scarcely he effected iu less than thirty
days from the date of sailing, or, in other
words, they would npt reach the Needles
much before the 10th of January. It 1b not,
however, to be expected that the weather
would continue for bo long a time .without
some change. There is no question but that
the other two yachts must have suffered
more from the effects of the gale than the
one seen by the American Congress, as from
the course they took they would'have to
stand its full fury. Det us hope that despite
the antagonism of the elements they may
have a very merry Christmas and a truly
happy New Tear, and the latter not far
away from their destination.
A Heap of Money.— The war indemnity
of twenty million thalers, paid by Austria
to Prussia, was conveyed to Berlin in one
railroad express train. The whole amount
was paid in silver. It was loaded by the
ton, and took twenty men six days to count
it. Ten clerks, twelve tellers and thirty-six
gendarmes accompanied the train,
Cigars.— The youth of London light their
cigars with a new invention, callea poudre
de feu. It consists of pyrophorus, wnioh is
preserved in a small tin case, with anarrow
orifice. When a small quantity of this dark
powder is poured out on the end of the cigar
and breathed on gently,it becomes incande
scent, and lights the pipe or cigar.
Assault by Robbers.— On Thursday
evening, about nine o’clock; Mr. R. O. P.
Btown, the well-known Superintendent of
the Great Republic Oil Company had a very
narrow escape from death, and returned
the compliment by shooting and probably
killing one of his assailants. Titusville

LSpeclal Despatch to the World.l
Brownsville, Dec. 19.—General H. Clay
Davis, of Rio Grande City, was accidentally
killed on toe llto Instant, while on a hunt
ing expedition, a few miles from his ranohe.
/Davis was in company with several army
officers. They were moving oyer a rough
road, when their ambulance struck a stump
and turned over. Intoe fall toe general’s
gun was discharged, toe contents lodging in
his hips and abdomen. He lived but a few
hours afterwards.
A movement on foot to present General
Sedgwick with a testimonialfor his interfer
ence on toe other side of toe Rio Grande,
was dropped at his own request.
Cortina, with five hundred men, and Ca
nales, with about three hundred, left Mata
moras on the evening of toe 13th, for
Monterey, with toe view of taking part in
the campaign in toe interior. Escobedo
and staffleft on toe 17th suddenly, as it was
supposed Minister Campbell was to profit
by the general’s escort to Monterey to meet
Juarez. The Minister and Mr. Plumb, his
Secretaxy of Legation, are still here.
On toe 17to, in toe evening, it was ru
mored that Escobedo bad received intelli
gence that Cortina and Canales had pro
nounced against the Juarez government
and in favor of Ortega, and yesterday a
courier brought intelligence that Cortina
and Canales had attacked 1 Escobedo fifty
miles from Matamoras, and captured him,
self and staff:
Galveston, Dec. 21.—The escape of Gen
eral Ortega from surveillance at Browns
ville created much excitement, and would
complicate affairs on toe frontier.- Canales
and Cortina have left Matamoras for toe in
terior to join in toe campaign. Escobedo
left a few day subsequently, after annulling
all the decrees promulgated by Mejia, Car
vajal, and Canales. The merchants were
indignant, as they have lost large sums of
money which they had advanced on forced
loans, Canales is reported to have pro
nounced for Ortega, and it is even said has
attacked and captured Escobedo. San Luis
Potosi has, it 1b rumored, been evacuated by
the Imperialists and taken possession of by
the Liberals.
Tampico is reported to have pronounced
for Ortega, who, it is supposed, will Boon
enter Mexico.

A Confidence Max.—The Couders*
port (Pa.) Journal ,haa the following:—
About the first of last August a man
going by the name of P. W. Smith,
came into this county, and since then
has traveled from one place to another,
stopping with the farmers generally and
making himself quite agreeable during
the long evenings. One of the places he
had sometimes visited was George
Ayers’ on Ayers Hill. On the night ©f
December Ist (Saturday) he camejto the
house of Mr. Ayers from Sinhemahon
iDg, and took four silver table spoons,
eight silver tea spoons, several yards of
factory coat lining and satinet, with
which he made tracks down the Sinne
mahoning. As soon as the loss was
discovered he was followed by Alfred
Ayres and others, and met coming
down the Kettle Creek. They took
charge of him and the stolen articles,
with the exception of a few which he
had disposed of, and started across the
mountain for home, when, in passing
through a laurel thicket, Smith escaped,
since when nothing has been heard or
him. Smith is a man of medium height,
slender and rather stooping, with dark
hair and eyes and,a heavy dark mous
tache, and altogether of a pious cast of
countenance. Mr. Smith reads “Young’s
Night Thoughts,” “Milton’s Paradise
Lost,” &c., before breakfast. Our coun
try friends will please take warning as
they may receive a call from Mr. Smith
or some of his friends. A satchel of
Smith’s was attached in the hands of the
Jersey Shore stage driver, in which was
found a large silk dress, a full suit of
clothes, some coon skins, &c.
Thanks to General Wood.— Mnjor-
General Wood has been complimentarily
addressed by the grand jury of Madison
county, Mississippi, for impartiality and
justice in the execution of his duties; to
which he replies that it is the desire of the
army that the civil authorities should be al
together entrusted with the execution of the
laws.
Warrants have been issed by the United
States Commissioner in St Louis, for the
arrest of Col. Montgomery, commander! of
the militia in Lafayette county, and other
persons. The warrants are under the Civil

Washington, Dec. 22.—Hon. L. D. Gamp-'
beJI, Minister to Mexico, and Lieutenant-
General Sherman, are expected to arrive
here from New Orleans in a few days, their
search for the Juarez Government having
proved a failure.

with the President and Secretary Seward,
but it is not deemed advisable to, make pub
lic their despatches just yet.
Last night’s train carried off twenty con
victs, four white men and sixteen negroes,
destined for Albany, N. Y., penitentiary, 1
sentenced here during the present term of
the criminal court. !
General Grant has returned and reports
that the military difficulty in Missouri h»a
beep explained to the satisfaction of Gov.
Fletcher.
, No telegram has been yet sent to General
Sherman, but the authorities will await
Minister Campbell’s arrival in New
Orleans.

To the Editor of the Evening Bulletin:—
Gentlemen: I notice in your issue of the
17th Inst, a statement copied from the
Montreal Gazette of December 12th, headed
“.Philadelphia Craft and Boston Sim
plicity.” In the article the following state
ment occurs:
“ Tne BheniFs officer saw the door quietly
open and rushed in after him; but alas! ih
stead of finding Mr. and Mrs. Edson
soundly snoring in the arms of Morpheas,
to bis' intense disgust only saw Mrs. Edson
sitting in full dress before a splendid fire in
a rocking chair.”
Mrs. Edson is nowin New York, and has
never been in Canada. Who “ the lady by
the fire” is I and unable to say, but justice
to Mrs. E., demands that it should be stated
that it was not her. S..
