f (Kilt aottiilg gicoijatc Henry A. Parsons, Jr. Editor THURSDAY. APRIL 10, 1873. The Atlantic Our exchanges como to us now laden with accounts of that terrible accident to the steamer Atlantio of the White Star Lino, which occurred on the 1st of April, The vessel started from Liverpool on March 20, and according to the Cap tain's statement during the first part of the passage had favorable winds. On the 24 th, 25th, and 2Gth ult, the (ship experienced heavy gales which brought her down to one hundred and eighteen miles a day. On the 3lRt of March the enginoct's report showed about one hundred and twenty-seven tons of coal on b3ard. The Captain then judged the ship to be 4G0 miles cast of Sandy Hook and as the was steaming eight knots an hour he concluded the risk to great to push on for fear the ship in the event o! a gale, would be shut out from any port of supply, so he decided to beat up for Halifax. At 1 p. id, on the 31st iast., Bambro Island was distant 170 miles, the ships speed ranging from 8 to 12 knots an hour. At midnightihe Cup taiu judged tho ship to have made 122 miles, which would place her 48 miles south of Sarnbro. In the Captains ac count he says further: sMy first intimation of the catastrophe was the striking of the ship on Marrs Islands and remaining there fast. Tho sea irauicdiatly swept away all the port boats The officers went to their stations and commenced .clearing away the weather boats. Roskets were fired by tho second officer. Before tho bouts cold be cleared, only ten minutes hav ing elapsed, the ship keeled heavily to poit, rendering the starboard boats use less. Seeing that no help could be got from boats, I got the passengers into the rig ging and outdide rails and encouraged them to go forward where tho ship was highest nnd lest exposed to the water. The third officers, Mr. Brady, Quarter masters Owens and Speakman, by this time having established couiniuuieatioti with the outlying rock about lorty yards distant by means of a.line, got four other lines to the rock, along which about 200 persons passed bctweeu the rock and tho shore. The passage was 100 yards in width, and a rope iras successfully pass ed across this, though many were drown ed in the attempt. At 5 a. m. the first boat appealed from the island, but was too small to be of any assistance. Through the exertions of Mr. Brady tho islanders were arroused, and by (j a. m. three larger boats came to their assistance. By their efforts all that re mained on the side ot the phip and on the rook were landed in safety and cared for by a poor fisherman, named Clancy, and his daughter. During the day the survivors, to the number of 429 were drafted off to the various houses scattered about, the resident magistrate, Edmund Ryan, rendering valuable assistance. The chief officer having gut up into the mizzen rigging, the sea cut off his escape. He stood tor six hours by the roiueu who had uecn placed in the rig ging. The sea was too high to attempt fcis rescue. t 3 p. r.i. a clergyman, iiev. M. Ancient, succeeded in getting liim a line ami totting him off. Many of the passenger of the r.aloon nud steer age died in tho rigging from tho cold, among the number was tho purser of the slnp. Bclore the boats went out I placed two ladies in a life-boat, but finding the boat useless, carried them to the maiu rigging and loft them, aud went to en courage others to get forward on the side of the ship. At this junoture the boil ers exploded and tho boat rolled over to leeward. The ship then was lying on her beam ends. Finding myself useless there, I rent to tako the ladies forward, but found them gouc, nor did I see them atterwardsr Many passengers r.t this timo could not be stimulated to any et iort tc savo themselves but lay in the rigging aud died from fright and ex posure. I reraainded on tho side encouraging, helping, ancl directiug until about 15 wero landed, when becoming useless, I lelt the ship, two other boats being close to, and embarked the remainder. On rcaohing shore, I dispatched Mr. Brady, the third oftoer, off to llnlifax, across the country fo telegraph the news of the tlisRster, and obtain assistance, Mr' Marrow, the Cunard Line agent, prompt" ly responded, and sent two steamers with provisions to convey tho suvivors to Halifax, where they will be cared for and forwarded to New York, the first opportunity, iu charge of the first and fourth officers. The third officer and four men being left at the inland to take care of the dead as they camo ashore. Capt. S. Hendon, diver, has received provisional authority as to the salvage and material. Tho second offiocr was lost, with No. 30 life-boat." The Atlantio started from Liverpool with nearly a thousand passengers on board, out of which from 500 to COO persons fouud a watery grave. The news of this terrible disaster spread over the whole country like wild fire, casting a gloom over all minds. Immagination carries us to the fated steamer, Atlantio do that dreadful night, and we see cling ing to the rigging, nearly a thousand human beings, despariug, and dying. And it sends a thrill through the stout est heart, and causes the cheek of the bravest to blunoh. By this terrible dis aster many homes are made desolate aod many persons who were anxiously, awaiting the return of their loved ones, are doomed to bitter disappointment. Of all the sad andj heartrending causali ties of the sea, this one seems to stand out pre-eminentlyabove all the rest, as tne saddest. There must be some cause for this, and lrom the newspaper accounts it seems that a short supply of coal, and the ignorence or carelessness of the Captain, are tho prime causes, and now an investigation is talked of. Thus it always is, hundreds of hnman beings are ushered into eternity, at a mo ments warning by a railroad accdent, or from causality of the sea; an investiga tion is had, and perhaps some officer is suspended, or discharged, this seems to satisfy the publio mind, and it sinks into lethargy, until again aroused by some torribls holocaust. A Southern journal bays of the cotton crop for this season : "The noney paid for it in its raw state will not fall short of 8330,000,000. Of this sum about 835,000,000 will have gone to speclators aad hrst purchasers leaving 82i)O,0U0,' 000 to the produoers. Alubama's share is nearly $o5,000,000 estimating her crop at 400,000 bales." According to tho report of the State Superintendent of Common Schools for 1872 we find that the State, outside of Philadelphia, had during the year 14,' 415 sshools; 16,780 teachers; an attend ouce of 699,802 pupils,an average of ibiflzt; an average school term of six months. She paid her male teachers 840.55 per month, and her female teach ers $.11.90. She expended for school houses 82,555,637.39; for tuition 83,- 221,421.78, for contingencies, 8863,- is3.'Ju, and lor all school purposes, 80, 620,498.13.
