fifty Lives Lost.
_ 4...-
The New York fiemlo' gives the following fur
ther facts in regard to the late disaster at Long
Beach, New York Not one survivor is left to
tell the tale
The ship, Laden with paiewngers, left Havre
for New lork On the Ist of March, under the
command of Capt Meyers, of Baltimore She
was driven among the shoals, and remained there
until Sunday evening at 5 o'clock, before she
went to piece It was Observed by the anxious
eye witness. on shore that directly she hauled to
the wind. from which circumstance it was impos
.Ibl, tor any of her paswieugera to leave without
:eriatiu death being the result They however
hoped fi,r the beet They trusted that the storm
which hind lasted so long, would soon - abate.
luring the long night of Saturday and the
a hole of Sunday, the unfortunates—it is suppos
ed some two hundred and fifty in number—were
seen clinging to the leeward bulwarks of the
ship, while the sea continually washed over
them, and they expected death at the rise of each
succeeding wa re N,, aelistance could be offered
them, for the aea ran so high that a boat (if any
had been ut hated I a,itild have been instantly
swamped
Between tour and five o'clock on Sunday af
ternoon the ship's bulwarks burst, and about fif
ty persou , at the same moment were washed
overboard Mr Jennings, the wreck-master,
and others made great efforts to save some of
those who were in the water, but in vain. The
captain, too, was heard to cry from the ship—
•'For God's sake save some of those who are
drowning Every ezertio3 *as made, but it
was no use, and to all of the six bodies which
the wreck-master succeeded in rescuing from the
water life was extinct
It was immediately after this that the ship
commenced going to pieces in earnest No small
boats were to be had, for the government boats
did not arrive until all was over About five
o'clock the Nesse' wa- completely broken up;
most of her passenger , and crew were drowned,
bnt a few still survived, clinging to pieces of the
wreck The ehrieke of the dying rise above
even rho rearmg of the storm, which seemed to
ineneeong rather than subduing
It was at the• moment that a huge wave was
noticed rolling inwards —the dead and the dying
were alike engulphed in it--aud when it had
passed over them there we, not one left alive of
those passengers and crew of the ill-fated Pow
hatemi, who 'lumbered two hundred and fifty
-ours that same morning A eingulai `fact con
nected with this is, thiit the ship itself was splin
tered itX, minute fragments; std that scarcely
trace of her existenee retualbed, with the excep
tion of th e few pieces oof her rigging, that were
washed ashor, the Iva ! , probably Wen with

The above has referenoe to the trial of the
young Wards on I. charge of homicide, and will
no doubt excite feelings of disgust and resent
ment If the half of it is true, Kentucky charac
ter, in some of its phases, has been foully belied
for the last fifty years. We had imbibed the
notion, that "bravery and chivalry" were gene
rous principles, prompt to rebuke insolence or
punish cruelty. We had supposed, that if any
where within the limits of our proudly heroic
country, an ardent, unbending sense it justice
was to be found, it was in this same State But
if the "chivtrly, sad bravery, and beauty" of Ken
tucky are flocking to the trial of a brutal mur
derer, for the unholy purpose of imaging, if pas:
Bible, the adminiktration of justice, to wilt a mis
guided passion ate barbarous delusion. we would
like to kairy twist really is the true standard of
honor and heroism? We hare yet to learn that
"bravery and chivalry" are synonymes with
crime and ferocity In a community truly brave
and chivalrous, according to our notions of their
nutirre, the first announcement of a crime like the
present, would have raised an universal cry of
horror, and begotten a settled purpose that the
guilty should not go unpunished. -Beauty"
would have flown terrified from the spot, instead
of crowding the unmistakable evidences of res
pect and support upon the bloody offender If
the histories of the affair which we have seea,are
within a gun-shot of the truth, the halter is gnar
ling fur its lawful work Heretofore, if we are
not mistaken, amiability and worth have been
the safeguards of rifle and reputation; but if this
tragedy is to be conducted tea characteristic end,
we shall advise all of our friends wh o ma y wan
der into that vicinity, to eamme the air of butch
ers as a passport to safety and "society." We
are unwilling to believe that "this trial will coon
stitnte an era in - the'jligsphadimee of the State "
It has not yet been generally learned that Ken
tucky is minns a criminal eode, ur if she has one
it has invariably been's dead letter. If ever a
crime was punished in the State, this will be no
thing more or lees than a Second instance. The
giving, in any way or shape, impunity to titled
or wealthy villainy is clean contrary' to our eba
techism.
