Lou. of the Steamer Santiago—Ship, Cargo and Specie a Total Lou—pas. eengeresaved. VALPARAISO, Feb. 16.—The principal interest during the past week has been the arrival of the American schooner Sarah H. Morrie from Boston, which chanced to be passing through the Straits of Magellan at the time that the Pacific Steam Navigation Company's steamer Santiago was wrecked, and was the means of saving the lives of all her passengers. The following account by the mate of the schooner, and also - the letters of Captain King, commander of the steamer, give full particulars of the lose. Too much praise cannot be given to Captain Rowe. of the Sarah H. Menlo, for the noble manner in which he acted. His vessel was but 100 tons burden, but he made room for the 200 passengers that Were shipwrecked, he threw overboard a part of his cargo, and made every sacriflee to snake them as comfortable as he could. It has been proposed In Valparaiso to get up some substantial tribute to the Captain for his noble and generous exertions in behalf of the unfortunate passengers of the Santiago. The following is the report received from the mate: Jan. 93.—This day at 9A. M., the weather having beoome more propitious, we salted from Port Tamar, where we had lain for some days. At noon the wind again commenced to blow with great fury , and at 1 ovclock we sighted a small row-boat with a signal of distress flying, and containing a crew of six men. We took them on board, but not without some difficulty, as it was blowing a gale, and the sea was breaching debt over the boat. When the rescued men had re covered somewhat they informed ns that they were a party from the British mail steamer Santiago, from Valparaiso for Liverpool. and which, when entering the western entrance of the Straits of Magellan, ran on to a sunken ledge and bilged. In three hours afterward .he had disappeared beneath the water. By dint of great exertion on the part of the cap tain and officers of the Santiago, all the pas sengers, who numbered over two hundred, were got on chore, except three, who were drowned, one being a child. eighteen months old, which had been left by Its in mother bed when the alarm was first given, the mother being In a frantic state with fear. A small quantity of biscuit was also landed, and an attempt was made to shelter the women and children by erect frir hub; bf canvasekand -brushwood, but with very little success, all saffliking severely from cold, wet, and banger, they being on an allowance of one biscuit a day. The party we bad picked up had volunteered to go to Punta Arenas to seek help, that settlement being about one hundred and seventy miles to the eastward of our poeltion when we rescued them. As soon as poesible we hastened to the relief of the shipwrecked people, we having to work our vmeel to winward*irty miles , rigainat a strong northwest bteeze and a "rough sea. We arrived on January 25, and were greeted with cheers by the men end tears by the females and children, whose food was all bet exhausted when we Lame to their relief, and who wept for JOyat, the pros pect of being released from a region where there was ...either food nor civilized inhabitant. We threw over board a portion of our cargo, and placed our cabins at their disposal, so that we might mate them as com fortable as possible. and left Port Mercy to convey them to pow convenient place of refage; but when we had proceeded one hundred miles in a direction con trary to one voyage, we fell in with the British man-of war Nassau (Jan. 26), which is surveying the Straits, and to that vessel we transferred the suffering people, each of whom wished as good luck al they passed over our rail. On our return we were favored with a fine breeze, for the first time since we were within the Surat*, and at night again dropped anchor in Port Mercy, where, next morning, we were astonished to see alarge number of the Indian cannibals plundering what had been left behind by the passengers.— Tratm e. THE PANAMA CANAL. Blessage from the President of Co. loinnltt—Ak Big Job. In reference to General Catthin,g's canal treaty, the President says: "One of the principal difficulties In contracting for the excavation of a canal consists in the fact that the portion of our territory which Is by nature designed as the spot where the two oceans shall be united, is embarrassed by a concession which was made with unbounded liberality in favor of the Panamaßailroad Company.by virtue of the contract celebrated with it, selling the re serves, which the nation had secured for herself in the said rallnnui. According to article 2of the it gislative decree, approving the said contract, this government cannot,whtle the privilege lasts, build, or open, or permit others to open, any canal across the isthmus of Panama to the east of a line from Cape Tiburon on the Atlantic to Point Garachine on the Pacific, to unite the two oceans, without the accord and consent of the said Railroad Company. If the explorations should establish the fact that the line where the canal can be built is to the east of this demarca tion, the full extent of the damage which threat ens the successful bane of the enterprise will be at once apparent. "The treaty prepared by the plenipotentiaries of Colombia and the United States of America. and approved by the Executive will be submitted to Uongress, who, in union with all good citizens, will devote the attention that this important sub ject demands, which is probably the most trans cendental of our day, not only for this coun try but for the world. "If the spot exists in our territory which may become the point of union of all the waters, and necessarily of all the lands, and if at this point with the unanimous consent of all the maritime powers we shall cause the principle of perpetual neutrality and a strict equality for all flags in the common use of the canal to prevail, our national escutcheon shall then in future not only represent the symbol of our fortunes, but be im pressed with the seal Indicated by nature and granted by our spirit of justice at the providen tial union of the human family." The papers in Bogota continue to oppose the treats most bitterly, and it is now said it has but little chance of ratification. One of the argu ments most dwelt upon Is that it will be humili ating to Colombia to see United States troops stationed on the line for the protection of the works. It is still urged, also that the United States has no intention of making the canal, but has only stipulated for the privilege to delay the work—in the interest of the Panama Railroad. :s: - lON ' ; o 4 nova Scotia and the Vatted States. [From the Toronto Globe. March lh The NOva Scotian Government is in no posi tion to send treasonable delegations to Washing ton. It has enough to do to maintain Its footing within the "constitutional" limit set by the Re peal Convention in August. If it went beyond that, and proposed rebellious measures, it would go down at once, It Is true that the Government of that Province did at one time propose to send Mr Howe to Washington as the representative of Nova Scotia at a salary of $3,000 a year. But he was to look after the commercial interests of the Province, and not to negotiate terms of annexation. The offer was only made to him in the hopelhat it would keep him from taking office under Sir John A. MacDonald, and not because even the local blintsters,supposed he would be of any use in Washington. The scheme was too foolish to catch a shrewd man like Mr. Howe, and came to naught, and served only to show that the Repealera were frightened at the prospect of losing Sir. Howe. Even if the Re: peelers should continue in power for a year or two longer,, the danger of their appealing to Washington is very slight. It.• is true, some of them are Annexationists; but very many of their best and ablest men_ do not want annexa tion at all. They simply hope—if they have any hope at all—that, by repeated appeals to the Im perial authorities, they may at last.wear out tlutin patience and get permission for the Province to return to its old isolated position. If. the An nexationists were, by any positive movement of their own, to drive ott the &peelers of that way PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 17, 1869. of thinking, and the men would adhere to the Repeal Part' solely because they are committed to it as It now stands, they would and them selves a very weak faction, hardly worthy of even that contemptuous desi gnation. JPOLITIOAL. SUE SIISSOVISI TEST OATH CASE. Ikentsjoinery flair on the Berneal of * rancho P. Blair, Jr., to Take the Oath. atom the Wethington Intelltienear of March 18.7 We have read the brief of the Ron. Montgomery Blair, filed before the United States Supremo Court in th e cause of Francis P. Blair, Jr., vs. John S. Thompson and Stephen Ridgely. This is the celebrated test oath case, and involves the validity of the elaborate oath of expurgation re quired as a preliminary to suffrage by the consti tution of Missouri. (ion. Blair, it will be recol lected, refused to take this oath, and his vote be ing refused, he has brought this snit, which will determine the right of 90,000 persons to vote in the State of Missouri , and at least double that number in other States now excluded. We as sume, of course, that the court will meet the question now raised. The former decision in the case of exparte Garland and that of Judge chase, very lately in the Davis - case at Richmond,are in voked and the whole question is argued with un usual precision end a force of reasoning from which there would seem to be no escape. Among the facts mentioned in the brief is the very extra ordinary one that this inhibition is imposed and enforced by radicals who were secessionists under color of State authority at the outbreak of the war, and then in full sympathy and alliance with the Confederate movement; while, on the other hand, General Blair, who fought all through the war, and has ever been a Union man, is disfranchised because he then promptly took arms against General Jackson and his State Legislature in their efforts to carry the State'out of the Union. While the radicals, now in full feather and "trooly loll," were either dodging or aiding the Confederates, General Blair was striking blows for the Union cause— the legal operation of which now is to bring him ills the scope of the Missouri disfranchise meats. These extend to persons who have ever seen in armed hostility to the State government of Missouri. We await with much solicitude the decision of the court. New Indian Com- The lieported ntlesioner. [From the Ilec.bester Chronicle. March 15.1 General Ely S. Parker is to be Indian Com missioner, if Washington gossip speaks truly. ate appointment to the pesition would be very gratifymg to many people in Western New York, irrespective of party, for his friends are legion. He is himself of Indian blood, and a chief of the Seneca nation. His original profession was , that of a civil engineer; and it was while superintending the construction of come government work in the West that he made the acquaintance of President Grant, then an ex captain of the _army. After Grant became a general officer he appointed Parker on his staff and has retained him as an aid-de-camp, in _which capacity he has continued to serve. He was transferred to the regular army on the 22d of March, 1866, and his line rank at present is that oft first lieutenant of cavalry. He is a Brigadier- General by brevet, and ranks as colonel on the staff of the general of the army. Patents for Pennsylvanians.

Godfrey itchier, a resident of Tremont, in this county, and engaged in the mining of coal at Donaldson, with fdessrs. Thomas Smith and John Altaighton, Sr., left his home at an early hour to keep a business appointment at the colliery. He did not roach the colliery, and after several days had elapsed without anything being heard of him, it was suspected that he bad been murdered on the road. Large rewards were offered for any information of the fate _of Capt. Rehrer; the police'were set to work, and his partners werearrested on suspicion of being concerned in his disappearance. They were subsequently diat_. charged from custody, there being insufficient evidence to hold them. Time went on, and still nothing was discovered in reference to the fate of Capt. Rohrer. The community will remember the operations of the "detective" Carpenter, in this case, and the arrest of Mr. David Lomison, of DOnaldson, on a charge of being concerned in the supposed murder. Capt. Rehrera Immediate family was plunged into the deepest distress; Mr. Lciroison was driven into bankruptcy, and Messrs. Smith and Albrighton were forced by public opinion to leave the county. The affair was buried in ffic• deepest mi t il i t i er e K until the intu3garation day of last week, ' 4th, when all the facts connected with Captain Rebrer's disappearance were revealed to Mr. George W. Cole, of Tamaqua, by the captain himself. Mr. Cole, we might state, is well so. quainted with Captain Rebrer. Well; he was standing on a sidewalk in Washington, looking at the line forming for the procession, when he observed a soldier in a detachment of the Marine Corps, wearing the chevron of a sergeant. Be re cognized him at once as Rehrer. Im pulsively, Mr. Cole rushed to Rohrer, and much to the astonishment of the commis sioned officer in command, and to Rehrer's own sorprise who denied that he was himself, he seized him by the collar for the purpose of drag ging him to a private room in a hotel close by, and having an explanation of his actions. The officer in command of the detachment soon un derstood from Mr. Cole the state of the case, and consented that Rebrer should accompany Mr. Cole to a private room. That having been done, Rohrer confessed to Mr. Cole that the motive for bis decamping in the mysterious manner he had done, was the fact that he was heavily indebted to his father, fatherin-law, and others, and that he saw •no prospect of extricating himself from his pecuniary liabilities. He said that he first went to Treverton, where he worked as a laborer. Prom there he went to Baltimore, where he was employed at a similar ociapation. One -day, seeing in the street a citizen of Schuylkill county, be became fearful of being recognized, and left suddenly without even waiting to receive his wages. From Baltimore he went to Philadelphia and enlisted in the Marine Corps, anticipating that he would soon be sent on shipboard to some foreign nation. In this he was mistaken, for his d was sent to Washington, where it has sin stationed. . The • are briefly the facts as told by Rohrer blear • . If aware of the annoyance, distress and expense Which lave. resulted from his conduct, which - we presume he is, and appreciating them, bis feelings of remorse and sorrow are not to be envied. 4r, We :might state, in connection with this matter, that when Governor Geary was applied to, to offer a reward for information which would lead to the discovery of the fate of Captain Rohrer. he said that be wootri do so, but it was his opinion, from all the circumstances as far as they had come to his knowledge, that he was alive. The sequel proves his opinion to have been cor rect. Meseta. Smith and Aibrighton, Sr., are now an gered in mittingoperatione at Plymonth,Lnzerne county, and are doing wail. SIKIBMTARY 110 VT WEL L---ClEff ER&I4 B&SS 8--SEN&TOR WILSON . The shim:truce of Our Public Schools. [From the Beaten Traveller,. March 15.) In the years 1851-2 George 8. Boutwell was Governor of Massachusetts, Henry Wilson was President of the Senate and Nathaniel P. Banks was Speaker of the House of Representatives. It was quite a new era in the politics of this State. They held the three moat important po. litleal offices in the Commonwealth. They were all young men, educated in the public schools, without any powerful friends to lean upon or great influences in their favor. They fought their way, single handed,through everything that wealth and prestige could bring against them, to those high positions which before had been almost always filled by what was called"educated and influential men.' They have all continued in public life ever since, rising step by step to tue most responsible positions In the nation. Every body must acknowledge, without regard to party predilections, their distinguished abilities and grand success. Where else on earth and under what institutions could such young men be educated in free public schools so as to fit them selves foe such positions? They have undoubt edly felt the great want of higher education, and have labored unceasingly to acquire knowledge In very direction. Had they graduated at Ox ford or Cambridge they probably would have felt equal want and necessity. • • * • So long as we can pour out an army of twenty-five thousand recruits a year from our public schools into the service of public and private enterprise. Massachusetts will maintain her influence and her prosperity. Governor Bontwell has always been a firm friend of our system of education,and was for several years the Secretary of the Board of Education, and we are very largely indebted to his practical wisdom for the efficiency and usefulness of our schools. It is a source of pride that they have furnished a man so pre-eminently qualified that he was sought for with so much general favor for one of the most responsible and difficult positions in the country. We predict for the Secretary of the Treasury a euscesaful ad ministration.

By a communication received by the Minister of the Interior from one of the Provinces, we learn that a terrible example had been made of the murderer. The Bub-Prefect, In his report to the Prefect, says: After the arrest bad been made and the pris oner was being conveyed to be placed in the hands of the judicial authorities, it was necessary topass through the town of Guadalupe, and as the condition of the prisoner was such as to require rest, he was placed in the barracks, under guard, as the safest place. Al, a later hoar I learned that the inhabitants of, he place wore about to rescue him, and so take the law in their own hands. I gave orders to the guard to pre serve a strict vigilance over their prisoner; but, despite of , all my precautions to prevent an t ; _ou t . ! rage, the people attacked the jail and overcame the guard, and carried , the prisoner to the public square, and there burned him alive_ lire ; that had been previously prepared.
