The Gibralter CJlwiicfo of January 20 states that the British bark Minnie "Gordon, which ar rived at that port on the preceding day from New York, brought the master and two seamen of tho United States eohooner Moses Waring. This vessel was water-logged in a gale, and on the 18th of Gecember was fallen in with by the Minnie Gordon, when the survivors of her crew were taken off the wreck in the last stage of debility from exposure end famine. By the humane and judicious exer tions of Mr. Leslie, the master of the Minnie Gordon, their lives were preserved, but they still stand in need of medical treatment. The dread ful tale of their sufferings is thus given by Cap tain Leslie. December 18, lat. 38.10 N. long. —, W., •end ding off 8. E. by E., under double-reefed top sails, foresail, reefed mainsail, and foretopmast staysail, winaW.N.W., blowing hard, and heavy sea runniDg. As daylight broke I saw, bearing Ns N. E. from me, something which looked like two spar bnoys, standing at an angle of 60 degrees, just as far as the eye could reach. Ab day broke clearer could make out with the glass that it was a vessel waterlogged and on her beam-ends. Then determined to go close enough to ascertain if there were any of the crew still on the wreck. At 8.30 A. M. could with the glass make out what appeared to be, two men on the port quarter. On approaching nearer saw three men waving a piece of while canvass; stood close up under the lee of the wreck arid hove to, got out large boat, in doing which stove one side of her. MrlChas. Miller, chief officer, and three seamen started far the wreck. After great exertion and a hard prill succeeded in getting the captain and two remamg'men In the boat, .and got safely back to the bark, hoisted in the boat, and proceeded on the voyage, taking the weak, famished men Into the cabin where there was a stove, giving them dry clothing and some sttrimlants and email quantities of water often repeated, they having had nothing to eat or drink for seven days and nights, with the exception of when the mate died: two daya previously, they all cut Borneo* . his raw flesh and ate ft, the cook having died befofelthe mate, and his body washed over hoard. They were complete skeletons, the cap tain being in the worst condition; his cheeks wero sunk in till they appeared to touch each other: their feet and ' legs us high as their knees wore completely paralyzedand dead fromlong expo sure and submersion iu cold water and want of exercise, as they had just enough of the wreck above water to hold on to. They could not pos sibly have survived that day through hod not Providense kindly sent me to their assist ance. I gave them food by degrees, with email doßes of brandy and water, and rubbed their feet with soap liniment; then put them to sleep ini the warm cabin. On waking the Captain gave me the following account of the loss of bis vessel, stating that two daysprevlooß to my lolling in with him, a brig, westward bound, name unknown to him, saw them and Btood towards them until quite near (weather moderate at the time), when he put up his helm'and ran away from them. The schooner was the Moses Waring, of New York,from Bruus ' wick (Georgia), bound to New York with cargo of yellow pine flooring; encountered a heavy N. E. gale on December 11, when fifty miles 8. E. of Absecam, shortly after which sprang a loak, and was unable, with both pumps going, to keep her free; she settled so deep,and becoming unmanage able, thiy cut the gripes which held the deck load, and had no sooner accomplished this than 6hc fell over on her beam-ends, and the heavy sea running at the time over her, waging away deckload, cabin on deck, and all water rind provi sions, leaving them perfectly destitute of every thing but the clothing they stood in. Their suf ferings must have been very great, so much so . that they found themselves obliged to cut up the mate's body, who had unfortunately succumbed before Uem on the fifth day. I did everything in my power to make them comfortable; and finally succeeded in bringing them to life. , [Washington Correipondenco of the N. Y. Herald.] A Presidential Coup B’itat Looked Washington, Feb. 16, 1868,11 o’clock P. M Washington gossip haß been actively engaged for several days past with the resuscitated scheme of impeachment and the critical condition of Southern reconstruction on the Africon 'exulta tion, basis; but these absorbing topics are begin ning to wane boforo a new euoject, which seems to promise a sensation that wilt even outlivo the prescribed nine days. Political prophets arc turning their attention towards the move ments at the Presidential mansion' and appear to descry somewhere in the near future a distinct foreshadowing of im portant eventß soon to transpire. They do not letl altogether satisfied with the mystery that en velopes the movemeuta of the President. His extremo forbearance and dignified self-control under the many triuls of patience bo has encoun tered during the present session of Congress, but especially in the late War Department quarrel, taken in connection with his re cent unexpected orders . creating the new Military Division of thd Atlan tic, have impressed his enemies with a Benso of uneasiness wtpeb they endeuvor in vain to con ceal. They seem to feel that a few trumps yet re main in the hands of the President, and there }s, no knowifig at' what unlucky, moment for them said trumpß may come down with a vim that will work sndden and effectual demoralization. The action of the President in nominating Lieutenant- General Sherman for the brevet of general; the order appointing him to the command of the Military Division of the Atlantic with his head quarters here; the reinstatement of Adjutant- General Lorenzo Thomas to his old position in the Wur Department, and the proposed increase of the military force in this district, all of which was decidod. upon and ordered with so much promptness, inspire many old politicians with the belief that the President is coolly and- carefully maturing a plan to checkmate anything of a revolutionary char acter that may pe hereafter attempted. These matters are giving rise to a great deal of specula tion as to their Import, and already rumors are abroad embodying the guesses of different indi viduals who assume to be well posted in regard to their sigfaifliitioo.
