A great deal is said by the newspapers in
the regular service of the Banks ami na
bobs, about the sub-treasury reducing the
wages of labor they say it will "make the
rich richer and the nour poorer.'' Now
here is a question we should like amatsing '
well to see answered by sonte of these yeu-
cioced soldier; :
If the Independent Trensuj-y' wijl 'make
tho rich richer' why do all thu 'purse proud-,
nabobs and aristocrats oppose it?; They
arc not usually found Voting money out of
their own pockets.
Now here u a chance for federal ingen
uity. Answer the question "lohxgs. or
edy nothing more about the Independent
Treasury making the "ncA richer.'" Will
you toe the mark, and ' make this matter
plain so that we loco focos can understand

believe, had aMi vjsueu, ana a sail was
prnposed in the harbor. At three o'clnck
the ISjiinet hud viiitetl Hog Island, and
those on board hd landed. Al half past
three the boat was making way for the city
and Wtx.-n about one hundred rods from the
Island, a white rqtiall as it is called
aiiui'k the too ef the sail boat, .Which was
not perceived or tell by tlmse on oOaru,.ex

Banner went down stern foremost, Iravlog
the bows abova water. There were nine
persons on board five yontig-ladies in tho
cuddy, another young lady in the stern
svnu was saved two limit) anil a l;ui lilieen
or sixteen years of age. The young ladies
in the cuddy were dtuwned, and seemingly
death was but the work l' an indtant. Tile
persons saved, placed luonuelves on board
the tender to tho Banner. Tho first assis
tance came from thoac on boird thu Water
