HOW TO GOVERN INDIA.
It is estimated, in the latest intelligence
from abroad, that up to tho time tho Indian
left England, tho reinforcements senttoUin
dostan amounted to a force of 40,000 men.
Largo as is this accession of strength, we sus
pect that it must bo greatly augmented, to
give a certainty of frilly re-establishing British
rnip jn India.' Whilo wo consider that what is
'facetiously called tho “national iudopendcnco”
of tho Sepoys would be a great barrier to tho
advance of civilization—from tho anarchy
certain to bo created by parcoling ont Hin
dostan among a troop of barbaric rulers—we
submit that, if England desire to retain this
vast Indian Empire, sho must mako a wbolo
salo and thorough change in hor principle and
pTActice of gOTOTiminjif, Mere. - England must
hnj| ont the East India Company, and assume
tho 1 ' direct administration of affairs in India.
Those attempts, at prosleytism, which oven
Lord Canninu appears to have encoaraged,
must ho put down, imperatively and wholly.
Tho Hindoos, whether thoy adore Brahma,
or declare “there is no God but God, and
Makohmep is his Prophot,” must be left to
tho; enjoyment of their own religious faith, so
long as it does not violate humanity. A just
and honest Government must bo established in
India, or we shall have frequent recurrences of
tho horrible scenes lately presontod tliore—
Officers murdered by their soldiers, women
violated and cut to pieces, children roasted
alivo before their parents’ eyes, and prisoners,
surrendering on the most solemn pledges of
kind, treatment, shot down, bayoneted, and
sabred, with yells of exultation from their vile
assassins.
It may, indeed, come under discussion, ore
long, whether it would not be good policy on
the part of England to have a permanent
Viceroy of India in tho person of ono of
Queen Victoria’s sons. Tho Hindoos like tho
pomp, splendor, and prestige of sovereignty,
and would he gratified by having a ruler of
Royal blood. Such men {as Lords Damiodsis
and Caswho, who go to India with ono main
purpose—namely, “to shako tho pagoda
tree”—aro not adapted to such a Viceroyty
as this. They go to India to make money, by
saving tho greater part of their magnifleont sa
laries, and are unfitted for tho great responsi
bility which they assume. Tho antecedents of
these men show scanty training for statesman
ship. Lord Dalhousie, appointed Governor
General of India at tho ago of thirty-five, was
President of the Board of Trado, for some
time, under' Sir Robert Peep. Lord Gan
nisa, who 1 attained tho mature ago of tifty
ilvo, when ho wont to India, lmd previously
been a clerk in tho Foreign oflico, Chief Com
missioner of Woods and Forests, and Post
master General. 110 seems to have been made
Viceroy of India, first, because he was compa
ratively poor, and next, bccauso he had Dog
berry’s qualification of being “ tho most dc
sartiess man.”
; there would, bo policy and popularity in
England as well ns in India, in appointing ono
of Queen Victoria’s sons as pormanont Vice
roy of Hindostan, with an Executive Go
vernment composed of able and experienced
men. Hindostan, with its peculiar popula
tion, is. not, the place for a Republic. Tho
natives have no democratic tendencies,
and cannot ’ exist, as a nation, without bo
ing under' some recognised ruler—be he
King or Chief, Emperor or Sultan. An
English Prince, with tho appanago and stato
of Sovereignty, would have a fair chance of
popularity in India, and a flno field for noblo
exertion, by that good government which
Would, improve the condition of tho people
and develop the vast resources of ths coun
try.
Unfortunately, Victoria liaß no sen old
enough to fake tim chargo at present. The
Prince of Wales is out 61‘ tho question, for ho
is, destined to wear the Crown of England.
Queen Victoria’s second son is also en
gaged—for, by a family compact made some
years ago and lately confirmed by tho legisla
ture tboro, be is to succeed Iris uncle ns
Grand Duke of Saxe Coburg. Tho third son,
is much too young for India, just yet. But
there is time for his being educated expressly
for the great duties ho would havo to perform.
I Lord Paimekstou ; may take tho hint which
we hero throw out, when he reads It in « The
Press,” and wo frooly make him a present of
it. Wo are persuaded that tho idea is a good
one, if it were properly worked out.
“ THE PATRIOT SEPOYS."
Perhaps wo may ho dull of approlionsion,
but wo find it difficult to understand, and im
possible to . coincido with, certain ardent
orators, at a public meeting in Now York, on
Thursday evening, for two purposes—ono of
■which was «to sympathise with the Sepoys,”
whose indiscriminate, blood-tbirstyyand perfi
dious cruelty has spared neither man, woman,
nor child, in the revolted districts of Hlndos
tan. We would rather reserve our sympathy
fori tbo victims of such diabolical and hellish
cruelty, and for the relatives and friends of
those most barbarously treated individuals.
Neither ago, nor youth, nor sox, was a protec
tion against murder and other crimes, in which
a devilish ingenuity of torture tjas employed.
PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY/ SEPTEMBER-. 2 h 1857.
Sympathise wlfl) tho Sepoys, indeed!—wilii
assassins, murderers, ravlshcrs, ruffians. NA
not with them.
At the meeting referred to, ono speaker,
(Mr. CMahonv) referred to tho identity ofthe
struggle of the fighting Sepoys with that’ of
Ireland. Another (Mr. Dotlk) called the
Sqpoys “tho patriots of the Eastern World.”
Tho goneral impression meant to bo convoyed
wastliat‘J« T BNA Saiiih, tho cowardly assassin
of Cawnporo, was no morq of a rebel than oar
own Washington, and—this was expressly de
clared and adopted in* a resolution—that the
Sepoy's “present resistance to tho Eaßt India
Company’s Government, instead of being a tb
bellion and mutiny, as it has been falsely repre
sented, is a righteous and noble struggle to
recovor their indefeasible rights and national
indopendonce, which should' command the
sympathies of mankind.” !
There is no u'so in arguing against such ab
surdity as this, nor shall wo attempt it. Nbna
Sahib likened to Washington, and tho So
poy’s murders and other brutalities compared to
our glorious and puro struggle for indepen
dence! Wo lament that this was an Trull
meeting—Americans, wo are sure, would not
sympathise with Nbna Sahib, or the “ Empe
ror and King of Delhi and India.” Wb Sever
can consent to have Grattan and Curran,
Emmett and Fitzgerald, Smith O’Brien find
Mi.'AaitEß—nicn pure of purpose and of deed™,
likened to'such unmitigated barbarians gs'
the revolted Sepoys and their leaders^, Wife,
ever olso may do it, wo shall not libel Ireland
and her gallant sons, by comparingtheir effoifs
In 1798 arid 1848, to tho horrible proceedings
against tho Anglo-Indians by the Sepoys^
Wo are not without cause of just complaint)
against England, for having employed Indian
Warihre, in addition to their own niodo, against’
ns during the war of Indopondenco. But the
bulk of the English people Wore opposed to it,
aiid Lord Chatham most oloqiiently resisted it.'
At tho worst, what was it compared to the
unmentionable and horrid warfaro waged by the
Sepoys against, not man alono, butdcfencoless
women and children.
On two, points discussed at that mooting
wo have already expressed a decided opinion.
We cautioned persons in this count#*
whatever their birth-place, not to enlist'
into a British corps, for any service, see:'
ing how badly tho American-Gcrman Le
gion was treated in tho English service during
thellussian war. Werepeat the advice,outho
same ground—hilt repeat our denial that en
listment ill this country for service in IHn
doslan was illegal. The man who, foV twonty
flve cenls a day, will become British food for
powder, in any part of tho world, must ho a
fool to risk his lifo so easily, or a criminal,
win} wants to fly tho country.
Tho other point is tho misgovornmont of
Hindostan bytlieEast India Company. Wo
havo again and again argued that, the moment
the revolt is put down, an entire change of An
glo-Indian Government* must be made. It Is
inevitable —if Hindostan is to bo retained by
England, wldcli will bo tho case, wo earnestly
hope. But “ sympathy ” with mnrderors, trai
tors, assassins, robbers—no! we leave that to
tho orators of the recent mooting In New
York.
COMMUNICA TIONS.
NEWSPAPER CRITICISM.
[Pot The Press,]
To the Editor of The Press: Sin—Though
onco a dabbler, X am now only a looker-on in what
is oalled “ Tbo Republic of Letters.” Yot litera
ture always lms been, and I trust always will be, a
subject of groat interest to mo, as ono of tho most
powerful instruments operating on national man*
nor? and morals, and as distinctly indicating th<\
staio of both. Tho public morals may ho correctly
inferred from the public tasto, nnd tho conclusion
safely drawn, that wlw>a Utp latter w Aabaun&SdtP
tho former will become licentious and corrupt,
not so before. T ‘ ‘
I was, tbereforo, muoh gratified with tbo artlolo
on “ Tho Book Trade,” in tho Press of Septem
ber tho 16th, whioh I hope you will follow up by a
more sovere and searching dissection of tbo gene
ral features of tho present fashionable literature,
tho causes whish have produced thorn, and tho
mean, pitiful arts by which tho most worthless
abortions of ft stinted genius, a perverted tasto, and
a corrupted mind are palmed on tho public as
among tho highest efforts of tho human intellect.
It cannot bo denied that many of our public jour
nals and periodicals have, for some years past,
been accomplices in this most mischievous system
of deception, and, ai an honest, independent con
ductor of ono of these, you owe it to yourself and
the cuuso of sound litoraturo to make all possible
amornls by exposing abuses which your brothor edi
tors hare been such powerful instruments in inflict
ing on their readers.. You havo bogun .well, and
X earnestly hopo will ond still bottcr. It is a sub
ject which ought pot to‘be handled with gloves.
Severe and bitter satire and reprehension should
bo resorted to,‘ for tho wound has bocomo deop, and
tlio viruß has infected tho wholo system. Tho cau
tery and tho knife nro roquired to root out tho
oancor.
Criticism, whoso provinco it is not to follow, but
diroot tho public tasto, to corrcottho faults, and
point out tho raorits of authors, has for tho most
part degenerated into a more organ party, or a
vonal instrument, which, like tho sword of tho
li Free Companions” of tho uiiddio agos, is at tho
sorvico of those who pay best. But in ibis ago,
and this country, it is cheaply purchased. A copy
of a now work transmitted to a critical editor is
an irresistible compliment, and never fails to pro
cure ft wholes.alo testimony to tho transcendent
merits of tho author and the book. To save tho
critic tho troublo of roading and judging for him
self, I am assurod it is customary for tho publisher
to accompany his donation by a choioe morsel of
criticism prepared to hand by tho writer of puffs,
who is either tho publisher himself, or an attache of
tho printing Tbo editor, no doubt, is some
times troubled with scruples of oonscionoo at being
thus an occomplico in imposing on tho public. But
everybody knows that editors aro for the mo3t part
saturated with tho milk of human kindness; and It
would bo both ill-manuerod and ill-natured to refuso
apresont for whioh so small an equivalent is askod.
Besides, it is tho cheapest possiblo way of pur
chasing books, and I kuow sovoral of tho fra
ternity who bavo accumulated handsome li
braries at tho expense of tho public, like our
members of Congress. I say handsome, be
cause they nr© handsomely printed nnd bound.
As to othor essentials, I say nothing. Tho
good nature of thoso gcntlomon has boon so
cgrogiously imposed upon, thattheyaroconstantly
committing themselves in praiso of tho most
mischievous productions and tho most wtrthlcss
abortions of ft stinted intol loot., Fustian nrd bom
bast is,called “poworfiil writing;” filter senti
ment and vanity—possibly twnddlo—iondornesa
and simplicity; absurdity,originality; and sectarian
bigotry dignified with the honors of pious zeal.
I could wish for tho credit of the class editorial,
and the groat interests of litoraturo, that so many
of them wore not so oonfoundodly goodn-ntured.
It cannot, I think, bo denied that thoy havo
done much to docoivo tho public, and defraud book
purchasers, by wasting their monoy and tirao in
buying and roading productions, not only worth
less as works of intelicot, but falso in sonti
meat and pernioions in morals. Thoy havo
most assuredly aided very powerfully in pick
ing tho pockets of credulous readers, who don’t
comprehend tho occult mysteries of tho sub
lime art of pufling quito as well as certain distin
guished publishers who never sell loss than “ ono
hundrod and seventy-five thousand copies.” This
system of defrauding tho credulous reader is ft
species of swindling, and if a rogue is liable to
prosecution for palming a worthless commodity on
an ignorant purchaser at full prioo, I sco no roasoa
for oxempting theso gontlcinen from alikoponalty.
They should at least bo mado to tako back their
books, and return tho monoy, with a roasonablo
compensation for tho tiiuo wasted in the perusal.
But I think I perceive Btrong indications that
tho great principle of reaction, whioh is a sovereign
panacea for tho euro of all evils, is beginning to
oporatc, and that tho period Is at hand when a
literary puff will bo worth no more than tho notes
of a broken bauk, or tho hook by which it is pur
chased. It seems indood high time tho literary
world should bo reformed in this respect, and tho
onco dignified occupation of authorship become a
little more independent limn at prosont, when the
writer la indobtod for a' temporary notoriety, a
nine days* fame which not a few mistake for im
mortality, to panegyrics thus cbonply purchased.
But I will trespass no furthor on your columns,
and conclude with expressing a hope that you will,
from timo to time, extend your strictures to a more
comprehensive view of a sabjeot of vast importance
to the present and future honor, dignity, and wel
fare of our country. Possibly you may hoar from
me again occasionally.

tain Jonathan Cnrvcr, ivbo visited these re
gions pbopt the. yoar, 1779, in hia observations on
tho coppor mines ot Lako Superior, flays; ‘‘lt

on tho spot, and requires but little exi»enso to get

'through tho Folia of St. Mary, near the entranco
of Lake Huron; from' thonco, 'including revoral
■'jxjrtagcs to Quobec, and from thonco to London.”
is aTso related of Dr. Franklin, that when draw
ing the treaty of poneo with England, in tho city
of Paris, he had ftccoss to tho'journals, and charts
of a corps of French engineers that hod sloops, anj
were exploring Lake Superior when
rondored to tho British, from which chart hq drew
tho line through Lake Superior to include the
juoflt And tho best of tho oopner to tho United
.States; and tho time would’ddroo when drawing
ijsat lino would be considered tho greatest service
To. evor rendered bis country. Tho facilities of
transportation would bo well improved so as to ox
.port that ooppor oro to Europe, choaper than they
U from their own mines. ‘
Tho oxporiment. of sonding ships loaded with
■native copper from Lake Superior ban
Keen tried. Thoro can bo no doubt of its sUcocw.
)?hip3 havo eleared from Chicago withgrain
for Liverpool! which brought high prices on arrival.
Cpho distonco from tho mines pf tho lake is somo
what loss to tho.oooan than from Chicago. A great
port of tho copper in some of there mines is found
nearly pure, and taken out in morses of from ono
to ten tons in weight. Several years ago a block
Of' qoppor from Lako Suporior was sent to London
as d specimen; the geologists there could not bo
convinced, at first, but that itwns a Ynnkoo triok—
tlioy had sever hoard of copper being found in such
a pure fefate, find snpposcd tho block had been cast
for tho purpose of exhibition. Tho writer passed
•through tho Sault Slo. Marie on tho propeller
Manhattan, with a cargo of two hundred tons of
nearly puio coppor.
That this region was resorted to by a barbaric
racq for tho purpose of procuring copper, long bo
fota it beoftmo known to tho whito man, is (evi
dent from numorous memorials scattered through
out its entire extent. Whether these ancient
minor.? bolongcd to the rnco who built tho mounds
found so abundantly on' tho Upper Mississippi,
or wore tho progenitors of tho Indians now inhab
iting the country, is a matter of conjecture. Whon
all the foots shall have boon collected, Iko question
‘may bo satisfactorily determined. Tho evidence
of tho early mining consists in tho cxistonco of nu
merous excavations in tho solid rook; of heaps of
ruhblo and earth along tho courses of tho veins; of
tho remains of tho coppor utensils, fashioned into
the form of knirc3 and ohlsols; of stono hammers,
some of which are of immense sixo and weight;
of wooden bowls, for bailing water from tho mines;
and numerous lovers of wood, used in rnisingtho
mass coppor to tho surface. But tho limitsof this
letter are Insufficient to giro any new thceryia
relation to tho early minors of Lako Suporior; per
haps tho best most interesting account of there
mines, and this unknown raeo, was lately published
In your city, in a small work on Wisconsin and
Lako Suporior, to which J would rofor your read
ers. X will only give a short account of tho Into
wonderful developments in tho Minnesota mine—
perhaps tho greatest coppor initio in tho world-—at
Ontonagon, on Lake Superior.
After trilling labor in opening a now shaft, tho
Tuiuore uncovered a scries of mosses, going up and
down, fur tho hoight of revonty fcot, and going out
of sight both abovo and below. At onoconvoniont
point they broko away bohlnd tho copper, so as to
get in a sand-blast of fivo or six kogs of powdor.
They then stripped tho moss further, and fired
tsgain without result. Again they Qrcd ntno
tbo mao romalnJd truhioycd. 'Breaking
fib& rook around for a considerable distance,
oighteon kegs were shot off without effect, and
again twonty-two kegs, and tho copper entirely
undisturbed at any point. After furtbor clearing,
twenty-five kegs were shot off under tho coppor,
and it was thought with somo effect. But a final
blnsi of- thirty kegs, or 750 pounds, was securely
stamped beneath tho mas-i nml firod. As soon as
tbd hot air and powder smoko had timo to cionri
awny, a innB3 of copper, somo fivo feet in height,
and from three to five foot In thickness, apparently
very pure, and which will probably woigh threo
hundred tons, had l>oou shot out, and was ready
for cutting up. Tho blast had torn tho Immense
body from its bod without exhibiting a sign of
bonding or oracking it in any plaoo, so groat was
Us thiokne39 and strength. Xt was torn off from
other mosses, whioh still remain in tbo solid rock.
About ono hundred foot to the east of this is another
largo mass which soveral parties aro exposing, and
from proSont tippearanoos it may even oxceod in
size tho last named ono.
This is a.rapid summary of tbo now things to bo
seen underground nfc tho Minnesota mine, with a
thousand tens of copper in sight, a considerable
part of whioh is thrown down, with their abun
dant openings and ample machinery. Evon the
most extravagant dreams of fortunate shareholders
will bo more than realized. Tho gross product of
tbo Minnesota mine for the year 1850 has boon
within a fraction of 1800 tons of mineral. Tho
markot valuo of tilts product, including nearly
$l,OOO worth of silver, was about $702,000; and
tho entire expenditure of tho year, in round num
bers, §337,000, leaving n balnnco of $345,000 Hot
earnings. Tho dividend for 1850 amounted to
thirty per cent., and mado tho aggregate sum of
§680,000, (being more than ten times the whole
amount of capital paid in,) divided among tho
stockholders from tho notoarnings, from this mine,
for the past five yoars, a result which cannot but
ba considered highly satisfactory.
Tho whole amount of ooppor shipped tho past
year from Ontonagon, .Kewoonnw Point, and For
tago Lako, ns givon in tho report of tho superin
tendent of the Bt. Mary’s Falls .Ship Citnal. through
which itftll passod, is 10,462,000 pounds, worth, at
25 cents, $2,013,000. To ihore desirous of visit
ing those interesting localities, I would mention
Hint two regular lines of steamboats and i»iopel
lors leave wookly from Cleveland, and ono from
Chicago, each stopping at Ontonagon. Thoro in n
fino hotel thoro, and a now omnibus making daily
trips to tho mines for tho accommodation of tho
travelling public. “ Minsk.”

A REMINISCENCE.
THE LOSS OF THE CENTRAL AMERICA,
SAD DETAILS OF THE DISASTER.
Tho painful narrative of tho loss of tho steam
ship Central America has awakened a deep and
sail fooling in iho community'. Wo givo all tho
additional particulars this morning which havo
XMohed us by Utegraph ani] mails.
( ,Tho steamer, as no havo before stated, foundered
on ,tho morning of Saturday, tho 12th, instant, at
eight o'clock, 31 deg. 51 min. NT., long. 7G deg. 15
min. W,, about tho eastern'edgo of tho Gulf
stream. ‘ '
Ono of tho rescued 1 paasongera who arrived at
Richmond, Va., on Saturday, from Norfolk, give*
tho following statement:
The conduot of tho chief enginoor, Gcoree E
Avhby, is said by some to have been, to a certain
(logroo/thocftuso of tho sinking of the ship, as the
rescued tmssongers all concur in praising tho man
ner in which sho rode through tho storm up to the
tlrno of bis desortion of her. Tlio brig Marine,
although disabled herself, succeeded in rescuing
all tho womon and children from tho steamer, and
twenty men, who wore tbo sailors who brought tho
womon nnd children oft'. Tho conduct of Captain
Herndon and hisruon I*described nanoblo through
out tho wholo of tho trying sceues, Tho oaptaiu
refused to allow any efforts to escape until thowo
«ion and children wore all put in safety. After
that, nil 'efforts to save the rest of those on board
.wore too late.
T|io last scene, whon tho ship, nil on boats
.being gonp.und all on board expecting death,
finally wont down, is said to have boon fearful be
yond description. -Not a boat nor sail of any do
2CripUoj. whs in sight, and hundreds of won, some
with Lib preservers, and others clinging to articles
ol furniture, washed from tho wreok, wore floating
about. All but forty-nine of these perished and
sank one after tho other. ' These forty-niner floated
about for.fwelvo bourn, and at one o’clock <m Gun
day tnofolng, tho 13th, they were taken up by the
brig Ejlqn, which brought them into Norfolk.
During tlio hoight oP tbo gate, on American Sohooner
ran down to tho Central' bnt tbo waves
wore too high for hoi* to bo ablo to render a'ny as
sistnpOQ. - it is raid that tho chief engineer took
off soveral Jodies in tho boat with him, an hour
before tho ship sank. Tho boat has not since been
h©Hvdfr©jn.
Tho Norfolk llernhl, in an 1 extra, says that a
{ontloiuan who was on board the ill-fated steamer
is positive that there were threo boats .gent off to
tho barouo Marine, but these wore by
tho rush of passenger*’ Tho threo ofhor boats
were then got out, and the Imlios, children, nhd
about tnonty men, got into them. They wore suc
cessfully InunOhod, and all were safely carried to the
Those boats then returned to thq wreck,
and efforts wore mado to fill thorn, but tboy were
swamped, and thus tho wreck was left without
boats ontircly. Lifo preservers were then putupon
tho rest of tho passangerß and crow, and the ship
soqn after wont down. Capt. Herndon was among
thoso provided with lifo-prosorvcrs. Tfio infor
mant of tho HerahX attributes tho 1033 of the ship
to tho inefficiency of all tho officers under Capt.
Herndon. 110 alone conducted himself well. Tho
Marino was tho only vessel in flight when tho
3toamor wont down.
[From tbo correspondence of tho Associated Frcsa.j
Report ot a Baltimore Editor who visits the
Survivors.
Baltimore, Sopt. 10. —Tho following interesting
particulars of tbo wreck of tbo Central America
are furnished by Charles C. Fnlton, Esq., of tbo
American, who left hero last evening on board tbo
b*/it for Norfolk, and was transferred during ike
night to tho olhor boat of tbo lino bound to this
city. Several of tho rescued passengers were on
board, nnd furnished many additional facts to
thoso previously known. Captain Badger, pf
Baltimore, furnishes tho following list of persons
known by him to bo lost:
Win. Leo, of Canada.
Benjamin Colt, of Hancock county, Illinois.
Hanson nmJ John Jicrne, of Missouri.
ltichftrd Milton, of Quincy, Illinois.
Jiuuos E. Birch, of Fall River, U. 8. mail con

Gabriel Brush, baggago-mastor, New YotL.
Charles Taylor, North Carolina.
Butuuol Shrcovo, of SauFranoieoo. -
Dr. Byanni, of San Francisco.
Dr. Gibbs and Mr. Marin, of California.
Mr. Barker, of San Francisco.
Mr. Booker, of Boston.
Purser Dobbin, a "brother of tbo late Secretary
of tho Navy, North Carolina,
Mr. Werto, of Sooramonto.
Purser Hall, of tbo steamer Now York.
Wm. Hall, brothor of tbo above.
Mr. Sonora, of San Francisco.
C. Van Rensselaer, first offioor of the steamer.
Capt. N. S. iiorndon, U. S. navy, Commander,
and tho doctor of the steamer, whoso name ifl not
recollected, and does not appear in the list of tho
officers.
Tho Norwegian barquo arrived at Norfolk Is
tho bnsquo Ellon, Capt. A. Johnson, from Belise,
and not tho Kloisc, as was originally reported,
E. P. Malone, another of thp rescued passenger*,
farmshefl tbo following'particulars:
Ttyostortocowmeiiceu 'liutnodmtoiy lifter leav
ing -Havana, and conUnned with great violence,
increasing in fury until Tuesday. On Friday
afternoon all hands were called upon to bail out
the water, which had extinguished tho fires in the
furnaces. Tho vessel continued to ship water, und
all wont to work with buckets, barrels, eto.,
continuing all Friday night and Saturdny morn
ins. About two o’clock P. M., the brig Marino
hovo in sight. All tho Indies and children were
put on her about six o’clock P. M., and tlio en
gineer left with them. Xn launching tho boats,
two of the fivo were stove and flunk, Tho other
three wore despatched with tho women and child
ren about an hour before eunset.
Tho Marino was laying noacly ft milo ftway,
and by tho time the boats reached her it bocoiuo
evident that tho ship must go down bofore they
could got back. All hands then aoiiod pieoos of
spars, chairs and lifo-ptcsorvors, white others
rushed below to socure tiioir treasure. Tho eon
fnrion at this tlnio becamo vory great, though all
acted with coolness, each endeavoring to mako a
last effort for their own Bafety. Tho vessel gave
threo lurehos, some of tho passengers jumping off
at each.
Thoso who wont with tho first and second lurehos
swum off some distance to avoid b°ing drawn down
with hor, but tho groat mass remained on deck till
ah© wont down, which was about a minute or two
aftorwurds. I had provided my9olf with a life
presorver and ft pioco of spar, mid determined to
go down with tho vessel with tho great mass of tho
passengers, nil of whom stood about bracing thom
solvca up and socuring tho most available means to
buoy themsolves up. She finally went down stern
foremost.
I was standing near tho smoko stack nt tho time,
and wo woro all dragged under tho water with the
sinking ship. The gonoral supposition Is that wo
wero dragged under at least 20 met; mnl when wo
roso to tho surface wo wero nearly stilted. The ra
pidity with which I was drawn down tore tho spar
trom my hands aud tho life preserver from my
body, and whon I roaohed tho surfoco my clothing
was almost stripped off me.
I, howoYor, mot a friend who had two life pre
servers, and he gavo me one, and we also soiled on
wooes of tho wreck, irhich helped to sustain us.
On reaching tho surface thoro were at least four
hundred passengers strugglinghbout, mostof thorn
having lost their life preservers, and othors seizing
on pieces of wreck which oamoup with us. The
captain had cut away tho upper works of tho ves
sel, so thnt whon tho hull sank they would float off.
But they, wore dragged down with tho hull nud
camoup in fragments, and man)'of tho struggling
passengers wero doubtless killed, stunned, nnd
drowned, by being struck with tho pieces of wreck,
while toothers they proved tho ultimate menus of
safetv.
An occasional flash of lightning showed to each
other n sea of struggling terms. All strove to ou
courngo thoir fellow-sufferers with hopes which
they scarce folt thomselvcs.
At first wo wero ultogotber in a mass, but soon
tho waves separated us, and at each successive flash
of lightning nodiscuvered that wo wore being scat
tered over u wido nrea, and soon wo found ourt'clvca
apparently ftlono on the boundless ocean.
Tho rest of Mr. Malnuo’s account does not differ
from that of Mr. Childs, already published. He
concludes by saying that about 10 o’clock ho was
pioked up by tho barquo Ellen, and had tho satis
faction of fiuding many of his fellow-sufferers on
board, rescued by tho humano exertions of tho
crow of thatvossol.
Tho steamship Empire City sailod from Norfolk,
At 11 o’clock, yesterday morning, with 00 of the
rescued passongers, for Now York.
Tho brig Marino wus in a disabled condition, her
jib-boom having beeu carried away, her innsl
sprung, and her tilloroutof order.
According to the statement of Captain Badger,
Iho gate increased until two o’elook on Friday, tho
11th, when it was porooivod that tho engine had
stopped, and tho snip full off in tho trough of tho
son, which caused her to mako considerable water
around tho leo shaft and tho leo lower doad lights.
It was afterwards ascertained that tho cause of
tho steppngo of tbo engines was caused by the
neglect of thoso in tbo firo-room nml engino depart
ment, in not getting coal along from tho bunkers to
the firo*rooin fast enough to keep up tho fires; and,
consequently, nil tho engines stopped, a« well as tho
pumps attached to tbo engines. Tho deck pumps
wore found to bo out of order.
Companies wero organized, at my suggestion, for
bailing, white the steward’s gang and dock hands
wont down to pass tho coal along. By this time tho
fires wore nut out, nnd tlio water bceamo so heated
in tho hold of tho ship, and tho steam engendered
was so great, that they wore compelled to abandon
passing the coal. Tho ship then lay at tho mercy
of tho waves, but still did not labor hard. We ihon
started sovorul gangs at bailing as tho only hope
of saving tho ship.
At u»y suggestion tho captain ordored tho fore
most to bo cut away, which was dono at 0 o'clock.
From •! till 8 o’clock tho water was fcoptatbay.
An attempt was mado to raise stoam on tho don
koy-boilor. Tho berths wore torn down and
thrown into tho furnneo to raiso steam to start tho
pumps, but all of m> avail. Tho causo I could not
lenrn. ,
A drag was proparod, but it failed, and tho ship
continued in tho trough of tho sea. Tho bailing
still wont on vigorously, and was kept up nil night
by gangs, who wore changed as often as they Lo
carno exhausted. Towards morning tho toon wero
beginning to fail, nnd tho water to increase and
gain upon tho hold of tho vcssol.
At \ o'clock on tho morning of Saturday, tho
12th, tho gate abuted, with a heavy son running.
Tho water wa3 then up to tho socontf cabin iloor.
At daylight a flag of distress was set, and a
vigilant look-out ,for a sail. New inventions for
bailing wore tried, such os rigging pork barrels
with whips at every hatoh. Every one labored, as
daylight broke, with vigor. They woro en
couraged by myself and othors, with the os
suruneo that the ship would hold out. Every
passenger remained cool, ami soorned to forgot
tholr danger in their united oflbrts to save tho ves
sel. Tbero was no weening or exhibition of
despair, even on tho part of the females.
At eight o’clock anothor attempt was mado to
rnieo steam on the donkey boiler, to pump the ship,
but without avail.
A* passenger proposed tho construction of box*
pumps, but on inquiry no Carpenter or tools could

m.mcliotely lowered. Two wore ito T e inatautly
by tbo aoa. Theto remained but one, which was
In bad condition.
*‘n! o 'i«h «>e work of removing the ladles
and children to the deck pf the Marine was com
menoed. The brig, being much lighter than the
sll 'P; had by thw bad drifted away to the lee
ward. , Tho distance was considerable, and the
boats wore long in making their trips, and there
being a heavy sea bat few conid be carried After
sending the ladies and children, tho' engineer and
some fifteen of them were put on tbo hrig.
It was now dark About tiro hours Before the
sinking of the steamer, a schooner ran down under
her itetD, but could not render her any assistance
fur want of boats. The work of bailing went on
UQtil'iWthin an honrof hergologdown. Two lights
of the abovu vessel .were now-seen far to the lee
ward. . Previous to tbe sinkingof the ship, rockets
fired irpm tho wheel.’
Captain llerndbh remained at tho wheel up !o

the quarter deck. Some jumped over und put out

The Effect tn Wall Street.
The a ail intelligence of tho loss of tho California
steamship Central America, which on its announce
ment in tlio columps of tho Herald yesterday
morning throw a gloom over tho city, and brought
into many n happy homo tho wail of affliction, was
received among the uioncyc-banger* and worship*
pors of Mammon with varied feelings of painful
anxiety. It wni supposed that tho withdrawal, at
tha present tiuio, of so large un amount of specie,
would increase tho monetary embarrassments that
of Julo havo been so soverely felt, and bo tho means
of causing a stringency ami depression tu the money
market resulting disastrously to several of our
largest houses engaged in tho California trade.
This universal anticipation at an early hour shook,
general confidence, and all (felt as if the impend
ing disaster had taken place. Thom most
interested kept running to and fro, questioning
tho various otheca and houses whero insurances hint
boon eueoted; and notwithstanding assurances
wero promptly given that all would bo mado right,
the mformatioju was received more in fear than in
it is considered that near a million
ot dollars would bo immediately demanded from
the different insurance companies and tho Into ex
treme pressure scarcely over, it is no wonder that
Wall stroet presented, during yesterday morning,
many elongated countenances. Rumor, too, witk
her thousand tongues, was busy in adding to the
common misfortuno, by spreading reports of
failures andsuaponnions; and at evorystep in that
eelobrated locality you hoard of sumo anticipated
disaster. There was tho eminent house of
, ‘*it couldn’tstand it;’* and then as to in
surance companies, tho wonder was how they
would act. Happily for all parties, the anticipated
trqnblo was more in foar than in fact ? and ns the
day woro on tho general gloom was succeeded by a
more buoyant feeling. It was ascertained that tho
greater portion of tho insurance effected was in
foreign offices. The total shipment of specie was
$1,600,000. Of this amount wo are informed the
following ate insured in foreign offices:

Mr Dbas Sre : Allow me to select a subject
tor oue of your tracts, which, treated in your po
pular aitf condensed way, I think would bo at

Abolition.
It is manifest that the ultras of that party
are extremely mischievous, and arc hurrying on
tno countiy tofearfal consequences. They are not
to bo conciliated by the Whigs. Engrossed with s
single idea, they care for nothing else. They would
see the administration of the Government precipi
tate the nation Into absolute rain before they wonld
lend! a helping hand to arrest its career. They
treat worst, denounce moat, those who treat them
best/wbo #o for agree with them as to admit »la
■very to be an evil. Witness their conduct towards
Mr. Bngg9 and Mr. Adams in Massachusetts, aad
towards me.

to remain in jail until next November, as he cannot
bo released upon bail, and roast await his discharge
by “ignoramus’' of the grand jury, or by a verdict
of acquittal, in case a troe bill is found against
him. As he is a very clever man, we cannot but
congratulate him upon his prospective deliverance,
although we can never forgive him for not marry
ing tho affectionate and confiding creature at a
time when he could havo saved her reputation
from the slightest blemish —saved her a world of
misery, and saved himself and family many a bit
ter pang. But “ all’s well that ends well.” He
has now a wife both beautiful and amiable—and
who loves him above all others. Let him cherish
her tenderly through life, and let part missteps be
forgotten. May they lead virtuous and peaceable
lives, and spend many long and happy years to
gether.
