GENERAL PACKER IN PHILADELPHIA.
Wo understand that General W. F. Packiir
will address tho people of this city early nest
week.
, Tho nominations of tho respective parties
throughout tho State have boon made, with
few exceptions. Tho campaign is conducted
with singular good fooling. Tho attempt to
array a formidable opposition ngainst General
Packer is a failure. But while there is no
pxcitoment, there is evidently a determination
to call out a full vote, which, to use tho quota
tion so often made, “ is generally a Democratic
victory.”
{ Tho friends of Mr. IIAZLEmmsT are very
active. We notice that in most of the coun
ties the straightout and anti-Wilmot Americans
have nominated full tickets. Tkoy deal out
some severe justice against tho Republican
candidate for Governor, which tho advocates
of tho latter retort in angry earnest. Among
the developments growing out of this family
eraouto ,, is G»o charge of ono of tho
Republican papers in this city against tho
Americans, that the latter were bribed in
iho last Presidential campaign to oppose
Fremont, and assist Buchanan. This, besides
giving riso to a libel suit against tho editor of
tho Sun, by the editor of the Daily News f has
called out the following list, which is a curious
bit of history.
11. B. Swope, Esq., Chairman of the Ame
rican State Committee, publishes tho following
in the Daily News, relative to the bribery elec
tion fund used last fall to corrupt the press in
this State:
TO THE PEOPLE OF PENNSYLVANIA.
, Fellow-Citizens; In a speech recently deli
voted in Jayne’s Hall, in the city #f Philadelphia,
and on other occasions, in different parts of the
Sta^e t I promised to publish, with tho proof of its
genuineness, a certain list of subsidized papers
which was furnished by Governor Ford, of Ohio, to
a correspondent of the New York Herald. I now
redeem that pledge, and present herewith to tho
peoplo of Pennsylvania Governor Ford’s list of
expenditures, with tho affidavit of Dr. \V. W.
Woodward, which explains tho circumstances un
dor which it came into his possession, and which
will be more fully understwd after reading the
following extract from the New York Herald, of
the lSlh November, 1856, immediately after the
lato clcotion:
Messrs. Fry and Gibbons, in Philadel
phia, wero tho leading managers, and lost Iho bnt
tlo by their blunders. Gov. Ford, of Ohio, wnsfur
nished with twenty thousand dollars as a subven
tion for (he country papers in Pennsylvania to
support Fremont.”
; Toe affidavit and list are us follows:
City of Philadelphia , ss.
' Tho annexed statement of moneys expended by
Lieut. Gov,. Ford, of Ohio, in subsidizing tho oppo
sition presses of Pennsylvania, was furnished by
him, and given to mo at tho Astor House, in New
York. The reason assigned for placing it in my
fossession >vas, that with tho facts thus enumerated
might bo fully prepared to disabuse the mind
of tho editor of tho leading political journal in New
York, who, by indirection, if not, indeed, by po
sitivo chnrge,-had accused him'of tho misappro
priation of tho particular fund ontruatod to him
for the object above specified.

JOHN J. CLYDE, for travelling expenses.
It may bo well enough to say that there are somo
other names on tho nbovolist, that for reasons per
fectly satisfactory to myaolf and to tho gentjemon
whom I bavo consulted aro not now published.
Among thctso were distributed tho sum of $2,050.
Neither is this tho only list which shows tbo ox
ficndituro of moneys for a similar purpose, in tho
ato Presidential canvass in this State. There wero
other papers beside those on Governor Ford’s list,
that were bought and paid for, and those also will
bo fdrnished, with tho proofs, when the proper
time arrives, unless, in the meantime, they come
from another and different source.
Tho 2\feiM is resolved to keep up tho fight
against Judge Wiljiot. Take yesterday’s
number j and tho following specimens:
Tun Effect op tiik Practical Operations op
Tim Fusb-Tradk Tariff op 1846, nnouuiiT
into Exirtenck nr Polk, Dallas, Walkjsk,
Wicmot and Company—Two Thousand La
borers Discharged.
Wo learn that tho Montour Iron Company bavo
‘determined to payoff their hands and close their
’ Rolling Mills at Danvillo, for the present. This,
wo understand, will throwout of eniploymontsomo
two thousand men, and, with their families, six
thousand people—tho natural result of the pre
sent British Frco-Trado Revenue Polloy of tho
Government, and tho War upon Railroad Securi
ties. And yet, forsooth, with theso facts staring
us ih tho face, Loco-foco and Black Republican
demagogues would bavo the pooplo to boliovo that
tho Tar iff question is not now an issuo before tho
pooplo! Laboring men of Pennsylvania, if you
are true to yoursolvos, you will rally eu masse for
lease Jlaxlehurst.
It is a somowhat hard measuro, however,
that Judge TYilmot, the free-trader, and his
protection supporters, should suffer in
common for a Tariff which the free-trader,
Wilmot, championed! It makes it rather
difficult for tho opponents of tho Tariff
of. 18-10 to decide exactly, whom to sup
port. Tho true cotirso, in our opinion, is to
vote for Packer, who favors tho policy
of equal legislation on all questions, and who
has always been a true Pennsylvanian,

PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1857,
But the Neius is still more Interesting. Wd
copy again witli all its strong phrases: J
A Toady or the South in 1840, —Wo have re-:
peatedly ohargod that David Wilmot, who is now!
go loud-monthod in liis nbuso of Northern men
who refuse to lend thomsolves to Blaok Republi-t
oanism, was tho veriest toady to tho South while in
Congress, and co-operated as docilely with the
Southorn Free-Traders in hroaking down tho In
terests of free labor in tho North, ds’ if ho ropro*
sentod South Carolina. Toshowthat this is Lot
mero assertion, wo refer to a resolution passed by
the Whigs of Susquohanna county, at tbojr County
Convention, in 1810. Hero is tho resolution :
“Resolved , That in tho chuiooof a representa
tive to Congress, since it has been tauntingly de
clared that the only vote givon from this State,
ngainst hor vital iutorests was dictated aud ap
proved of by tho people of this district , wo deorn
it a consideration, paramount to all others, that ho,
should 1)0 a Representative of Pennsylvania In
stead of South Carolina or Texas, and that hls|
constituents should bo tho pooplo of this district, .
instead of Polk? Walker, aud Southern* slavo-,
holders.” /'■ *
Thp Convention which thus stigmatised Wilmot
as having represented South Carolina instead of’
Pennsylvania, and having Polk, Walker, and the
Southerns slaveholders for his constituents, instead 1
of tho pooplo of hiß district, at tho fliuno time ap
pointed Henry Drinkor and Gcorgp Walker, Eaqs,,
conferees to nominato a candmato for’Oongresjft?
“i*r.Ei»OEn to the cause of protection to-Amerieafl,
Industry and tho rkfkal of tho British Frie~
Trade Tariff of 1810.”
Governor Pollock lias como out for Judgo
Wilmot.
Tho Democrats movo on more harmoniously.
In Columbia county tiio Democrat talks’of
tho ticket us a strong one. In reference to
tho election that paper says: “ThoDemocrat**
arc sanguine and tho Republicans hopeless,
and hcuco wo march on to the election <lay
without a ruffle to disturb tho quiet content of
tho masses.”
Paul Leidy, Esq., is tho Democratic can
didate for Congress in the Montour, Columbia,
Luzerne, ami Wyoming district. Tho contest
was botweeu Hon. H. B. Wuight, Hod. John
Mcßeynolds, and P. Leidy, Esq.
In Erie county thcro is quite au animated
contest—many of the Republicans refusing to
support one of their candidates for Legislature,
Mr. CocnnAN. Tho Erio Observer (Dom.)
says:
“Tho Republicans of Watorford and vicinity
hold a pnbliameating on Saturday, and repudiated
tho nomination of John 21. Cochran. Among
tlioso who participated were three of the delegates
of the count)/ convention at which he was nomi
nated, and it is asserted that there nro twenty
more , at least, of those delegates who sympathise
with this movement. Among the other proceed
ings of this meeting, they resolved that ‘his selec
tion is an outrage upon tbo Republican party, and'
they earnestly nnploro the conservative friends of
law und order to oxpress their disapprobation of
his nomination by casting tlioir votes against him
at tho ballot-box. 1 ” * * “This all looks well
for n little fnm it la true, but still Republicans nro
a very uncertain race—honco wo shouldn’t bo nt
all surprised to boo them wheel into lino and givo
him an undivided Bupport at the olectlon.” * *
“Hotvover, as the boy said when his neighbor diod,
it is none of our funeral l”
Tho Domocrats of Bedford nro a zealous eot
of men; but owing to tho late apportionment
having yoked them to Somerset, they have
not so good a chance for electing their legisla
tive ticket as heretofore, when they were con
nected with Fulton. Tho Bedford Gazette
publishes tho Democratic ticket, which con
tains some excellent names, Among them our
valued friends during mauy au exciting con
test: Hou. W. P. Schell, Col. S. 11. Tate,
and others.
In Venango, tho Democrats arc reminding
Judge Wilmot of his Republican and Frec-
Trado notions. The Spectator talks with groat
confidence of a gain for Packer.
In Borks county there is every evidence of
an immense majority in October for General
Packer. The opposition have nominated no
ticket, but tho great strength of Hon. Wil
liam Strong, ono of the Democratic candidates
for the Supremo Bench, who resides at Read
ing, and tho happy selection of such a gentle
man for Assembly as Mr. E. N. Smith, a
young man of great ability and promise, togeth
er with tho earnest fecHug of regard for Gene
ral Packer, will call out an enormous
vote. Tho party Is admirably organized in the
different townships, under the control of somo
fifty active committees.
In Centro county tho Domocrats seem to
ho In fine condition, Tho Watchman speaks
with much confidence of a triumph in October
for tho whole ticket.
LANCASTER COUNTY DEMOCRACY.
Wo publish by request tho following resolutions
adopted by tho Lancaster County Democratic Con
vention, whioh nssomblod in Lancaster city a week
or two ago:
Resolved, By tho Democracy of Lancaster coun

CORRESPONDENCE.
LETTER FROM CHESTER
[From our Correspondent “ Graybenrd.”]
Chester,Delawaro co., Pa., Sopt. 19,1857.
l 'To my mind there is a peculiar interest Attached
to tho eVont of writing a lino from tho oldest town
iV Pennsylvania
Tho most indotont student of history need
Jd&tocly bo told that it was hero that tho juatly
,b»ybdpnd revered Penn first lundod within tho
prorlnco to which his namo wa* givon, and which
, WQ,Are now proud to claim ns our glorious Common
[wealth.
At tho time of Penn’s landing, Chester was a
'.village, bearing tho name of Oplandt, or Upland,
[givon to it by the Dutch, who, subsequent to tho
’first English eonquost, hold a short sway over New
Swcdon, tho Dutch Governor of Now York having
;como hero with a fleot of seven ships, and took
po.qicFsion of nil tho Swedish settlements. Wlmt
’wat then Now Sweden ia now mainly ombraced
within tho limits of tho Stale of Dolawaro.
I The oxaet landing-plnco of Penn was on tho
'Soathern point former by tbo oonfluoncooF Chostor
creek with tho river Delaware. Immediately
.fronting tho creek, at this point, stood tho ancient
mansion of Kobcrt IVndo, tho hospitable host of
;Ponn'on this momorablo occnrion. A well, nearly
marking tho spot of this original dwelling, was dis
covered within tho past fow years, undor tho fol
lowing v?ry peculiar circumstances: A gentleman
owning tbo grounds, wishing to obtain water, con
sult*! ono of his townsmen as to whoro might ho
tho most auspicious locality to dig for it.
Iu AnsVrer to this, tho Inquired of romnrkod,
that ho hud ropcatcdly obsorvod a small spot in
,tbo meadow, upon which tho grass always re
mained green at times when its surroundings wero
parched .with drought. Heeding tho inference, tho
proprietor at onco proceeded to the work of sink*
ing a well at the ,spot designated, when, to the
•wonder and astonishment of himself and tbo
citizens generally, after penetrating to tho dis
taneo of Bovoral feet beneath tho surface, on
original well was uncovered, containing nn abun
dance .of oxcellonl water, and is now, after tho
'lap*o of jrnany years interment, (for what reason it
Übard*to conjecture,) again ministering to tho
wants ot tboso residing upon tho sito of tho houso
,Uj which Ponn wqs ontortainod in ICB2.
Chester ratlior claims to ho a steady, staid, woll-
Ttohaved, slow-moving, old-fashioned sort of a
plnco, and I think she is justly entitlod to every
thing embraced in this diitinction; yet, with it
all, tho irrevoront bond of Young America has.
within tho past few years, been gradually at work
demolishing somo of tho mod important land
marks of hor antiquity, and in doing this has be
reaved tho State of relics which cannot bo too
highly prized by all who Inko a proper Interest in
our history and growth as a nation. In this I
alludo especially to tho Old Provincial Assembly
House—tho kouno in which Penn, on tho ‘lth of
December, IGS2, but a fowwoeks after his arrival,
oalled tho first Assembly that over convened in
tho Provinco of Pennsylvania.
This venerable rolto ot ourbirth, as a law-making
ns well as a law-abiding community, has, within a
voryshort period since, been torn down, tho honor
ed Rite it onco occupied being now dovoted to tho
vending of coal. I may state, in this connection,
that tho nets parsed by this initiatory legislative
nssciably numbered sixty-ono, and woro ontitlod
“ Tlio groat law; or tho body of laws, of tho pro
vince of Pennsylvania, and tho territories there
unto belonging.” Among othor curious statute*
embraced in this venorablo code was a law against
drinking health v. For tho benefit of strangers to
tbo borough of Chester, however, I would remark
that this law has certainly boeomo ol>*oletr, if it
has novor been repealed, and indeed tho same
might bo said of nearly all tho rest.
, Tho houso immediately opposite to whero tho
Assembly House stood, and which at that time con
stituted tho hotel for tho accommodation of tho
members, is still standing, and occupied as a dwel
ling. Tho bricks of whioh it is built wero brought
over from Europe, and having boon buitt with an
oyo to durability but sadly imitated in modorn
time;, it stands to-day, to all appearances, as firm
and unyielding in its hoary solidity ns tho day it
was finished. It is easy to imagino, in a town so
antique In its origin, and constructed from tho be
ginning with a viow to durability, that tho me
inontoes of tho past are by no means rnro.
It is indeed a fine old placo ; and, ns it appears
from the record, onmo within an acoof beiug the
sito of tho City of Brotherly Love. As is well
known, tho town of Chostor remained nearly sta
tionary for about a contury, and in fact so recent
has been tbo commencement of tbo “ shaking
among its dry hones,'’ that it is generally conceded
that it has improved more within tho last fiftoen
years than it had dono for a whole century beforo;
though it really aooius as if tho determination, on
‘tho part of thoso who bavo most contributed to the
rocont improvements of Chostor, had boon to pre
serve tho limits of tho original town in ns unaltorod
a condition as possible, as tho groat bulk of tho
improvements havo been nmdo on a site entirely
distinct from the original town, and about a qunrtor
of a milo to tho northwest.
• ‘ There aro perhaps few places in this country, of
its size, in which a stranger will moot with moro
genuine hospitality than in Chester ; and wero it
not invidious to mention names in this connection,
I might dosiirnato instances of that whole-souled,
big-hearted hospitality which I hnvo mot with,
1 and shored tho benefit of, in tho short timo I have
been hero, that shall ever bo oushrined in my most
pleasing recollections.
The business enterprise, in ainercantilo way, is
fully adequato to its demands; manufacturin'. 7,
howovor, i 3 tho chief feature of industry of tho
borough of Chester, ns may ho inferred from tho
following facts: Thcro aro here in successful ope
ration, four cotton factories—producing almost
ovory description of domustio fabrics; one woollen
factory; ono bloaching establishment; one dye
house; ouo saw-mill; ono sash and dooriimnu
-1 factory; five machino shop*—somo of which have
foundries attached to them, and one grist-mill,
which, considering tho oxtont of tho individual
establishments, may bo regarded as a very re
spectable catalogue of manufactories for n placo
scarcely numbering over four thousand inhabit
ants.
These works, however, do not include tlio extern
five cotton manufactories of J.olm P. Crazier, E«q.,
which are located about a milo and ahalfwestof the
borough. In theso wuikn alone thero nio several
hundred hnmls constantly employed, and that they
aro energetically and judiciously conducted is well
attested in tho met that in tho twenty yours which
havo elapsed since Mr. Crozior commenced opera
tions in hutnhlo circumstances, he has amassed a
fortuno which places him among tho wealthiest
men in this couutry—being little short of two mil
lions.
It may not bo improper to notico, en pavtant)
that Mr. Crozior has hit upon tho happy thought,
of evincing his worthiness us n steward, by devot
ing himself to the noblo causo of benovoleneo in

THE DREADFUL SHIPWRECK,
More Particulars.
[From the New York Dally Tlraea of the 22d.]
STATEMENT OF THEODORE PAYNE
I went from tho stonmer in a boat to tho brig
Marine immediately boforo she sunk. 1 am in
debted to Captain Herndon for my life, as I was
anxious to romnin, and I only went off nt his
carnost request. I was in frequent consultation
with him beforo I went, and ho asked me what I
thought of nffniTS. I said, “Thank God, tho wo
men and ohildrcn nro all off, and wo are strong.”
Ho replied, “ Yes, thank God,” and added, “ You
take tho next-boat.” This I did, but beforo I
went he requested ino tn go into his office and get
his gold watch nnd chain, and if saved to carry
them to his wife. Said ho, “ Tell ho —” but his
uHoranco was choked by deep emotion, and be
said no rnoro on that subject, but changed it by
saying ho wished mo to see tho-prosident of tbo
company, Marshal 0. Roberts, ana the agents, and
communicato with them in relutlon to the dis
aster.
After saying this much ho walked away, a few
steps, and snt down on a bonoh, with hfs bend in
his hands, apparently overcome. 110 remained in
that position u fow momonts. and then arose and
resumed giving orders os the boat from tho brig
Marino returned. After sho was filled, and about
loaving tho ship again, it was made known that
three stecrago female passengers, wero still on
hoard. I Immediately went below, and brought
them forward. They wore placed on the boat "by
Mr. Ashby, and the boat shoved off, but before ft
could oloar tho stern a gtcorugo passenger sprang
from tho deck of tho ship into the boat, a distance
of twenty-five feet.
Tho chief engineer then hastily lowered him
solf into tho boat to provent tho passengers from
crowding in and swamping it. lie had scarcely
got into tho boat before another steerage passen
ger lumped from tho deck and full upon tho engi
neers back. Ho seized him by tbo threat and
drew a dirk knife, not, in my opinion, for the in
tention of using it upon tbo passenger, but for tly>
purposo of dolorring others who crowded tho decs*
from following his example. I was then lowered
into tho boat, and bid the captain “ good-bye ”
Tho boat was now pushed off again, when a third
steerage passenger swung off the deck and tumbled
into tho boat, at tho same time dropping from his
|K>cket into the ocean a package containing $2,000
in gold dust. Charles McCarty, ohief engineer of
tho steamer Ooldon Goto, but a passenger on
tho Central America, ajaa got. aboard the boat,
XFe woro then rowod in wfoty to tbo brig.
Mr. Ashby, agreeably to tfio request of Captain
Herndon, asked Captain Burt to send tho brig’s
boat and crow. The replv was, that ho had no boat
to spare, and that it would not live five minntes in
such a son. Mr. Ashby also told the captain that
Captain Herndon wished him to lay by all night,
or so long as anything could bo scon of the steamer.
Captain Burt assured ua that lio would do so, but
ns his brig was disabled, tho current and winds
woro constantly drifting her away. After the
lapse of twonty minutes, two moro small boats
camo from tho ship. They contained a fow of the
ship’s sailors, firemen, and stoerngo paasongore.
As they camo alongside, evory man but one jumped
out of tho boat upon the brig, and refused to re
turn with tbo noat. Tho chief ongineer. Mr.
Ashby, implored them to return, but they steadily
refused. He then tried to raiso another orew, but
did not succeed, nnd tho boats woro lashed to tho
brig’s stern.
During tho night ono broke loose /md tho other
was dashed to pieces. The brig lay to, but drifted
away boforo morning, to the distance of fivo or six
miles Iu common with tho other passengers res
cued by tho brig, just ono hundred in number, I
would speak in the higliost terms of the kindness
and unremitting attentions of Captain Burt and tho
crow. Many of the ladies and children woro nearly
bn/o of clothing, and thoy wore dressed up in pan
taloons and shirts obtained from the wardrobes cf
tho noble-hearted cantnin and crew, who, whatovor
thoy lacked, supplied It from thoir persons
On "Wednesday ovening I took a boat and crew
and bonrdod tho ship Euphrasia, Oapt. W. Lang
faro, bound for New Orleans, and obtained a sup
ply of provisions. Wo found Captain Langfnjo
ono of thoro genuine sons of tho ocean, whoso
hearts nro over ready to ros|*ond to tho distress
of others Ho ohcerfully supplied us with every
thing a o asked for, and alt bo saw wo were In need
of, and when I offered to remunerate him, bo not
only refusod to accopt it, but supplied us with other
necessities.
On Friday I took anothor boat and orow, and
proceeded towards Cane Honry Light, on tho coast
of North Carolina. Wo bad gouo only a few miles
beforo a sail was descried approaching. Fearing
sho would not seo us, I stood up in tho boat and
waved my handkerchief, a signal of distress. In
the course of an hour we got alongside of tho ves
sel, which proved to be the City of Norfolk, Cupt.
Green, bound for Savannah. 1 told him our con
dition, and craved his assistance to tow us into tho
harbor of Norfolk. 110 inquirod what I would
give. 1 told him anything that was right, at tbo
aaiuo tiiuo naming tho aovoral sums of $lOO, 5150,
and $2OO. 110 replied, “I will not do it for loss
thun $300.” I said, “ Well, wo aro helpless, and
must submit to your terms to go out to tho brig ”
So tho propeller was run down to the brig, and
after getting alongside Captain Green commenced
bargaining again, and demanded $5OO. 110 finally
accepted s.’>oo, and towed us into tho quarantine
f round, As wo came up tho harbor tho steamer
hnpiro City, bound for New Vork, passed us. Sho
was hailed and soventy-fivo of our nurnbor trans
ferred tojhor decks and were oonveyod to N York.
Twcnty-fivo of us still remained, and we arrived
in Norfolk on Friday evening about! o’clock. Bo
lero leaving the brig, so gratified woro tho passon
gorsattho efforts ofner [captain and crew so put
forth in their bohalf, thut tho sum of $BOO was
raised in afow minutes and presontud to them as
u testimonial. Captain Burt received $5OO, and
tbo balance was divided among tho orow, who had
almost divested themsolvea of their clothing to cov
er us with garmonts.
RUMORED BAFBTV OP CAPTAIN HERNDON,
Captain Herndon’s wife last night reooived des
patches from tho South, groatly oxoiting her hopes
for tho safety of lierhusband Mr. Fruzor,second
officer, says ho is positivo another large number of
tho saved will yet turn up on board tho schooner
seen near tho steamer on Saturday night.
THE CENTRAL AMERICA—WHAT CAUSED HER TO
.SINK—VAKIOI 8 THEORIES PROPOUNDED.
Thorohns beon no lack of information a? to
what transpired on board tho Central America alter
she sprung ulonk, and tho water had gained the
xmistury, putting out tho firos und causing tho en
gines to stop. Individual passengers, mulo and fe
male, havo told their several storios of what hap
pouod to them, and the part each noted In the fear
ful scones which preceded the sinking of tho
steamer, but theso statements, though full of in
terest. in ono respeot, throw no light upon tlio came
of all the mischief.
They woro nil oloso observers of what transpired
under their oiv 11 eyes, but for tho most part tboy
wore neither skilled in nautical affairs, norin the
mystcriesof tho engine departments that with tho
absence of testimony from practical and expe
rienced men who wero on board, little progress had
buenmadoup to yestorday in ascertaining tho
causes of tho disaster. Captain Badgers ac
count is a oloar and practical ono nB to the rise
and progress of tho storm and tho varying posi
tion of tlio ship in tho trying ordeal through which
she parsed, and this Is fully confirmed by tho state
ment of tho second officer, Air. Frazer. But neither
of theso persons know anything as to whero tho
aouroo or tho loak was until tho furnaces had been
subtnorged, and the great motive power of the ship
was paralyzed. Then, when the vessel was on her
beam ends, overy ono knew that a largo quantity
of water oarno in around tlio shaft, and this, it ap
pears. was tho only piaco whero blankets and
other appliances wero u*ed to keep tho water out.
Various theories aro proi-oundod as to tho causo
and source of the leak. Many of tho passengers,
as well as seamen, believed that a butt was started
by tho straining of tho ship. It is olear, they say,
that the leak must have been somewhere in tho
bottom of tbo ship, as tho water was over tho coil
ing beforo sho was hove down on her beam end*.
After this occurred, und tho vessel was laboring in
tho trough of tlio «oa, tho leak inoreaaod vory fast.
Mr. Huberts’ theory is, that some of tho side lights
woro left onen by thopagsongorain the different slate
rooms, and that tho great nody of water entered
thiough them, lie tainks tho leakage around tho
shaft could bo only trilling. This idea is not borne
out by tho fact that largo quantities of blankets
were used to stop thin leak, but tboy wero forced
back by tho water.
Air. Frazer and Captain Badger aro of tho opin
ion that tho foremast, after it was cut away, dam
aged tlio planking by being forced under and
against the ship’s bottom A sou captain, whoso
judgment in such matters is considered thinks

another pine by which water is discharged from the

it is said, (bore were do moans of shutting off the

the supposition is that one, or possibly both, of

flanges during tho heavy straining of the ship.

breaking frbm tod smp'&sshooootiniicd to descend,

Inarticulate wail, and then the lustier and less ter
rified shouted for Assistance to the barque Marine,
whioh was far, beyond hailing distance. Tho waves
dashed , thorn one against another at first, but
speedily they began To separate, and the last fare
wells wore taken. One man called to another in
our inforiaan “lf you are saved* Frank,
Send my love to my dear wife,” but the friend ap
pealed to answered only with a gurgle of the throat.
Jle was washed off ibis plank, and perished as his
companion spoke- Many were desirous of separa
ting themselves aafaras possible from the rest,
being fcarfdl lest somo desperate straggler might
icizb hold ot thorn and draw them under 1 Others,
afraid of their loneliness, called, to their neighbors
to keep together. Generally, thoy strovo to. cheer

ind when 1 tbo roar of tho waves drowned all but
the loudest, shouting, tho call of friendship or tho
dry of despair was heard in the distance, and in
fused confidence, or increased dismay, in many a
failing bosom.,
It was when he had drifted far from tho compa
nionship of any of his fellows iu misfortune, that
Mr. George began to realize his situation. The
pight was quite dark. Occasionally, as the driving
Clouds parted and gave a glimpse of sky, a star or
iivo would be visible, bat this was very seldom,
nd offered but the faintest gigam of hope tb&t
(he morning would dawn fair and calm. The swell
of tho sea wa9 great, anti successively tho poor
floaters, holding on to their planks with the en
ergy of despair, were riding on the brink of apre*
aiptce, and buried in a deep valley of water. Our
informant, like many of the rest, was seized with
the fear of sharks. Respiration wrifi very difficult,
Owing-to the .masses or water which were, con
stantly upon thon\, uA wave after wave
rolled by. Fot two or three hours, the water was
iot unpleasantly cold, and it vaa net till about oue
o’clook on the morning of Sunday, when they had
been nearly flvo hours in the water, and a fresh,
chilling wind arose, that their limbs begflu to feel
benumbed.
Some of the incidents described to ns as
occurring before or about that time were truly
shrilling. One man, floating in solitude, sod ter
rified at his loneliness, after shouting himself
hoarse to find a companion, saw, at length* a man
with two lifti-proservcrs fastened about his body
drifting towards him. His heart leaped with joy
at tho welcome sight, for tho fooling of deflation
which had overcome him was terrible to endure.
Ho culled to the other to join him, if possible, and
made every exertion to meet him half way. There
was no reply, bat the other drifted nearer and
near. A wave threw them together. They
touched. Tho living man shrieked in the face of
the corpse. Tho other had been drowned by the
diish of tho billows, or had perished from exhaus
tion.
1 When rising and falling with the swell of the
waves, the lights pf the barque Ullen were first dis
qorned by the Survivors in tho water, tho thrill of
hopo that nt onco filled every breast uinounted. it
may well bo believed. U a perfect ecstasy. Let
Mr. Goorgo speak for all. Ho says: “ I never felt
do thankful in alt my life. I never knew what
gratitude was before, I do not know whether I
oriod or not, but I know I was astonished to hear
my own laughter Binging in my car*. I do not
know why I laughed. That verse, “ God moves in
d mysterious way,” kept passing in and out of me—
through me, rather, as if I had been the pipe of
an organ) it did not come to mo by my own voli
tion, but somehow mada mo remember it. When
tho lights approached nearer, a score of voices
sprang up around me, crying “Ship, ahoy.”
“ Boat, auoy,” and t thon I began to shout too.
And I had never any doubt that I should be saved,
till I saw the lights pass by, nt about half a mile
from where I and recede in tho distance
Thon I began to give myself up for lost indeed-
But I slowly drifted towards her again, till I conld
wako out hor hull and one of her masts, and pre
sently I floated close to her, and shouted, and was
taken up. When I got on tho deck I could not
stand I did not know till then how exhausted I
was.”
Our informant, before ho was thus happily res
oued, encountered six men clinging to a log of
wood, two of whom were washed off in his eight,
within a short distonco of the barque. The others
must havo afterwards shared tbo same fate, as they
were not taken on board the barque.andwcronever
again scon.
Psychologists probably will be ablo to account
for one fact that has come to our knowledge, con
nected with this night of terror. We beam a pas
senger describe his sensations in this wise: *‘l
guc*s I had been about four hours in the water,and
had floated nwayfVom the rest, when tho waves
ceased to inako any noise, and I fyeard my mother
say, ‘Johnny, did you eat sister’s grapes?’ ”
J I hadn’t thought of it for twenty years at least;
it had gone olean out of ray mind. I had a sister
that died of consumption moro than thirty years
agoj and when sho was sick—l was a boy of cloven
or so— a neighbor bad sent her some early hot
house grapes. IVcl), thoso gripes wero left in a
room where I was. and—l ought to havo been
skinned alive for it, little rascal that I was-I
devoured them all. Mother came to mo after I
had gone to bed, when sho couldn't find the fruit
for sister to moisten her mouth with in the night,
and said: “Johnny, did you eat sister's grapes?”
I did not add to too meanness of my conduct by
tolling a lie. I owned up, and my mothor went
away in tears, but without flogging mo. It oc
casioned mo a qualm of conscience for many a
year utter; but, as I said, for twenty years, at
least I had not thought of it, till whoa 1 was float
ing about benumbed with cold I heard it as plain
as ever I heard hor voice in my life—l heard
mother say, “Johnny, did yon eat sister's
grapes?” ldon’tknowhowtoaccountforH, Itdid
not scare iuo, though. I thoughtjfc was a presage
of my death.”
The Ilondcraon (Ky.) Commercial gives an
1 account of tho sad havoo made by tho hog oholera
in tbo Bend, near Henderson. Scarcely a firmer
has escaped destruction among his stock. Many
persons havo lost every hog. both young and old,
and some havo but two or tbroo left to tell the de
vastation that has taken place. The symptoms aro
not thoso of tho hog cholera, but more nearly re
sembling tho quinoy. This disease cannot be at
tributed to strychnino, as there aro no distilleries
in the vicinity. A farmer in Perry county pub
lishes a remedy which he says is effectual. 110
throws tho suffering pig upon his hack, forces open
hi.i mouth, and applies a small quantity of tar to
tho roots of tho animal’s tougue. Ho pronounces
it a certain cure.
The Railway Cubit says it loams from a re
liable source that tho directors of tho Great Western
Kailwuy Company havo now determined upon im
roodiatoly erecting an iron bridge, on tho tubular
or girder principle, over Niagara Hirer—the pre
sent owing to the slow rate of speed at
which trains can 00 permitted to cross it, being
quite inadequate to meet tho requirements of tho
enormous traffic daily passing over thut frontier.
The oosfc is between $500,000 and $750,000. At
presont, tho rato of speed must not exceed two
miles an hour; but with the new bridge forty miles
an hour may bo run with perfect safely. Iltaoi.u
teiuplated to be ready for opening in the course of
noxt summer, the sito of tho bridge being tho eoriro
below tho whirlpool.
Tho Danbury (Conn.) Times says that on
Saturday, tho 11th init.., a young inno named
Leach, seventeen years of age, kilted a man named
Boughton, in New Fairfield. They both lived in
the same house, and there had been a dispute in
the families about the ownership of somo grapes
growing on the premises, Leach was picking
them, when Mrs. Boughton sont for her husband,
who came, and after a controversy, kicked Leach,
who turned and struok Boughton with a knife
whioh ho held in his hand, and inflicted a fata!
wound. Seeing what ho bad dono, ho endeavored
to stop tho flowing blood until tho physician ar

MONEY PANICS.
[Prom the PhaDixvUle Phoenix, Sept. 19.]
The Phoenix Iron Company employ two thousand
men in tho manufacture of railroad iron. They
have “ suspended payment.” This they did three
years ago. So wealthy were they in property, and
tho machinery of producing wealth, that on the ex
tension which their creditors gave them, they paid
every dollar of their engagements, principal and
interest, at maturity.
The incident of their “ failure,” as it was called,
was tho material out of which a monetary panic is
made. Vague, unreal, irrational, all will call it.
In tho past two years this house has made large
profits, and now possesses, in manufactured and un
manufactured stock, real estate and machinery, a
property worth treble tho amount of their liabili
ties. That fact avails nothing in s stringent money
market. If they cannot reduco their asets into
cash, and punctually pay their- notes, capitalistsgo
into a panic.
Fat men with blanched cheeks rash through
Change crying, “Beeves, Buck, A Co. have failed?”
and go incontinently to their cash boxes, shut down
the lids, and sit on them, with an inexorable and
ponderous defiance. The infectionof terror issud
den and complete through the money market.
Capitalists lock up their wealth and lock up their
faith in man, and throw tho key away—bat yet
whero they can see it.
A Money Panic is blind, deaf, and cruel. It can
not see the enormous harvests of wheat, of corn,
and of hay, with which Ceres Las enriched this
broad land, as it was never before enriched—item
not see the wealth of lobjcco. cotton, rice, sugar,
lavishly given this aututnn 4 eoming. to the S<.uib
and to us. It wilt listen to no demonstration of
solvency, hear no proofs of wealth. It is utterly
insensible to the spectacle of two thousand labor
ing men. whoso summer is drawing to a close and
whcAO winter with its frosts and itsensts is coming,
asking for tho restoration of confidence in really
solvent employers who furnish them with the mean*
of life. It makes no distinctions between borrow
ers, but involves in one common suspicion and puts
under one common ban, the responsible and tbo
bankrupt, the solid and tho hollow, and sits on it»
chest till its delirium tremens of terror has run its
course.
Thanks to Man’s const itat ion. all passion is short
lived. Thanks to the constitution of moneylend
ers, the desire of profits and the abhorrence of
idleness of cash quickly supervenes upon a do
nothiug panic. The tide of fear is already on the
ebb. The keys are on the turn. There is of the
produce of the ground, enough in our country to
stay all its enormous and ucpardosably contracted
debt übroad Tho money to move it to the sea
board will gradually come forth. The healthy
current of business, under a healthy credit system,
will soon be resumed. And then, wiser, if we use
our experience, we will resume onr career to tho
wealthiest and most prosperous condition ever at
tained by a people.
A part of that experience has been of the pro
digious evils that grow outof our allowing wary to
be taken from corporations, that flow from the un
bridled gambling in stocks, and from the loaning
of banking capital to bo used in the purchase of
paper and securities at usurious rates of discount.
Over and above all, is it of the ruinous policy of
buying abroad instead of at home, and of contract
ing debts to foreigners for artieles which weean
manufacture for ourselves, and the profits of whose
manufacture we can save to conehei, instead
throwing them to ttranger*.
