WEEKLY intelligences From the Newfoundland Day Book, July 1. the late fire at sea. ANOTHER ACCOUNT OF THE BURNING OF THE SHIP WILLIAM NELSON -HEART KENDING PARTICULARS. Our readers have to thank Robert Alex ander, Esq., oi the firm of Messrs. J. & W Stewart, lor enabling us this morning to place br fore them the following correct »c count of a most terrible catastrophe occur- i ing at sea on Sunday last. The particulars which we get directly Jrom Captain Hart, and lrom hifl log book, arc these : The bark Meteor, Captain Dart, belong i: g to Messrs. J. & W. Stewart, from Aqua dilia, P. R., bound to Queenstown, arrived oil this port yesterday afternoon, to land thirty passengers—twenty-one males and nine females—picked up by him on Wednes day last, June 28. in latitude 41 degrees 58 minutes, longitude 51 degrees and 43 min utes. The log book stales that about o’clock on the morniDg of Wednesday la»t, the weather being moderate, the watch on board the Meteor heard shrieks, and short ly after a number of people (male and fie male) were discovered floating about on pieces of wreck. Captaio Hart at once got iris boats out, and from that time up to nodn < f the same day, they were busily engaged In searching lor the unlortunate people. The wreck was scattered over miles of water, and each piece had to be searched. As we have slated, thirty persons were found.— The saved passengers gave Captain Hart the lollowing details ot the disaster : The lost vessel was the American ship William Nelson, from Antwerp, bonnd to New York with passengers. 8be had be tween lour and five hundred emigrants cm board. On Sunday last tbe captain of the William Nelsou determined upon fumigat lug the obip, and the mate ami some ol the crew set about the work. A pot of pitch was taken into the lower hold, below the passenger deck, and red hot irons were ilirown into it. • The pitch of course, ignit ed and boiled ever, setting the ship on flue to such an extent that it was found impel sible to extinguish the fl imes. They-spread r apidly, and before long the Vessel was a mass of fire, burned to the water’s edge and hunk, carrying, down with her over four hundred people. The rescued passengers deicribe the scene duiing the fire as truly heartrending. Mothers threw their babes into the water and fell back themselves into ilie 11 imes. Whole families died together in cxcrutiating torments. Brothers and Bisters, parents and children, ran frantically about I yr help they were not to find. The saved passengers also eay ibat the captain found he could not save the Bhip, begot his floats out, and with his officers, the crew and cabin passengers, left the remaining un lovtuuates to their fate. A number ol very young children were placed in the “chan nels" ol the ship, as being furthest from the lire, but they had not long been there when • he flames burst through the sides of the vessel upon them, and iu an instant they were consumed. Ol such horrible scents is ilie account made up. Captain Hart states that one woman was picked up by his second mate on a piece of spar, apparently dying. She had been in deed asall the rest had, three days and three nights lioating about on the water without food. Having rescued all that could be found, and another vessel bring five or six miles off, apparently searching lor the wrecked people, aud besides having as many on board as lie could feed. Captain Hart deter mined to liear up lor St. Johns, being then three huudred and twenty miles south, ti thinks it is probable the other ship has saved some of the poor creatures. The rescued male passengers are recover i g last from their fearlul sufferings, but all the females are burnt more or less about the hands, arms and legs. A large number of young children were burnt. mute and earnest inquiry into his neigh bor’s face. Right on through the place, straight lor the meeting house, darted the swift rider, and drawing reina at the door, leaped from the &addte, and leaving his foam-covered steed unattended, strode into the main aisle On the deep silence that filled the building like a sensible presence, bis armed heel rung like the blows of a hammer. As he passed along, a sudden paleness spread over the crowd of faces turned with a painful eagerness toward him. Bat looking neither to the right hand nor the left, the dread messenger passed on, and mounting the pulpit stairs, handed tbe pastor a letter. Notwithstanding the good man’s faith, his hand trembled, aud an ashy hue over spread his face as he reached out to receive it. “ Burgoync has surrendered,” were the first words that met his eye. He staggered under them as nnder a blow. The next moment a radiance like that of tbe morning broke over his countenance, and he burst into tears. Rising to read the incredible tidings, such a tide of emotion fi xided his heart that he could scarcely utter them aloud. The audience sat foi a moment overwhelmed and stnpifled, then, as their pastor folded his Hands and turned his eyes by a simultaneous movement, they fell like one man on their knees and wept aloud. Bobs, sighs, aud fervently uttered “Amcns” were heard on every side, attesting the depth of their gratitude and the ecstacy of tneir joy. “The morning had come, bright and glorious, aud its radiance filled atl the heavens.” From Coir.spondence of the St. Louis D.mocrat. INDIAN ATROCITIES. A STARTLING SCENE IN CHURCH. There were many thrilling scenes in the New England churches during the revolu tionary war. The following one occurred in Sharon, Connecticut, under the Ministry of the Rev. Cotton Mather Smith. It is iound in Headley’s Chaplains of the revolu lion: Mr. Smith one Sunday took for his text a part of Isaiah xxi, 11: 12—“Watchman, what of the night? The watchman said The morning cometh.” The question in the first part ot this passage had been the daily, almost hourly, inquiry lor nearly a month oi every one of the congregation, and hence its appropriateness was keenly tele, but the startling announcement, “The morn ing cometh,” took them by surprise, and they could not at first comprehend its signi ficance, or how it could be adapted to the present gloomy prospect. Had he heard any good pews? What had happened that he could say so confidently, “The morning cometh ?” No, he had nothing new to tefi them, only to proclaim over again his un shaken confidence in God’s promises. He did not attempt to conceal or lessen the ca lamities that nad befallen the country, nor deny that a fearful crisis was at hand. ’ Ho acknowledged that to human appearance ‘kJouds aud darkness were round about God s throne, ” but said that the eye of faith could pierce the gloom. The throne was there, though wrapped in impenetrable darkness. In all the disasters that had suc cessively overwlielmed them, he traced the hand ot God, and declared that, to his mind, they clearly indicated some striking interpo- sition of Divine Providence about to take place in tkeij; behalf. “Man’s extremity had come, and now was the time for him to make bare ‘his arm for the deliverance of the people.’ ” Prophet-like, kindling with the vision on which the faith of his eye rested, he boldly dropped the general subject ot God’s faith' fulness, and told bis astouished hearers that he believed they were on the point of hear ing extraordinary news of victory to our arms. He would not wait for an indefinite future to prove his faith to be well founded, —he was willing to bring it to the test of s he present. They might judge whether he was right or wrong, for said he, “The morn ing now cometh. I see its beams already gilding the mountain tops, and you shall soon behold its brightness bursting over the land." One cannot imagine the effect of such language uttered by the minister of God in such a time of doubt and suspense. He ceased, and as he closed the Bible and ex claimed “Amen! so let it be,” a silence, profound and death-dike, rested on the au dience. Each one seemed to led as if an invisible presence was there, and some weighty Announcement was just at hand. Suddenly the deep hush was broken by ihe distant clatter ol a torse’s ho .f along l he road. The sharp and rapid strokes-told of swift riding and of urgent haste. They knew at once what it metuiL For days and weeks their eyes had strained up tke streets that led northward, to catch sight of the messenger of good or evil tidings that was hourly expected He had come at last, and as nearer, clearer, rang the sound of that allop on tbe listening ear, each looked in PERFIDY, ROBBERY AND MURDER—SHOCKING BARBARITIES, <fcO. Missourians little know the troubles to which their brethren are subjected from the Indians, while on their* way to peaceful homes in the Northwest Territories. Vice President Colfax saw gome of the dangers on the road from Denver to Salt Lake, and telegraphed to Washington for 5,000 or 0,000 troops; but they arrive too slowly to give efficient protection to the thousands of pilgrims now on the road. I have just come from the employment of stage driving, be low the North Platte, and narrate what I have witnessed. The friendly (?) Arappahoes, of whom 4 or 5 hundred are camped near, and fed at, Fort Halleck, seem to be the aggressive party at present. Feigning to desire to go south in quest of buffalo, seventy or more warriors drew six days rations Then com menced the depredations and massacres at the stage stations and private ranches be low North Platte, published in the Denver papers. In the very face of the fort, June 27, they drove off twenty-six head of stock from Elk Mountain Station, and, on the 3rd instant, fifteen head more. Passing down, they cleared off the stock at Mediciue Bow Station, and burned Foote’s ranch, black - mith shop, wagons, flour, and other provis ions, and took 100 head of stock belonging to Foote & Ekler. They just escaped with their lives. There was a train of 150 wag ons “bunched up” near Foote’s, and I saw one poor straggler’s dead body brought in plit open like a hog. The emigrants dare not turn their teams out to graze, for the hills were black with hostile Indians. The consternation and cry ing of the women and children were heart rending. At Rock Creek, twenty-five miles below Fort Halleck, they appeared, 300 strong. Having broken up all gold mining operations in that vicinity, they next at tacked the property of Resliaw and Dutch Fred,-and swept ofTeighty-five head of tHeir stock—horses, mules, oxen and cows—the thieves warniDg back their owners, unless they wanted to lost their scalps. At a later day they showed their thirst for blood. Two soldiers ot the llth Ohio were killed on Rock Creek flats. I aeeom- panied an escort of cavalry from Fort Hal leck, and iound and buried these soldiers. The body of one ot them was mutilated in the most shocking manner—feet cut .off, eyes dug out, heart taken away, and bow els hanging over the aperture, head scalped —but the remaining abuses jnust be unde scribed. Ten soldiers of the 1st Colorado Cavalry, stationed here, lost their horses. I har nessed the mules of the station and started (lie soldiers off with them. 1 also saved an old \vLite-bearded gentleman, by his last chance of escape, from Rock Creek, in tho stage. At Coopei’s Creek Station, eleven miles further down the r ad, they took both sfa^e and emigrant stock—killing some fat cattle belonging to Rocky Thomas, because they could not urge them forward fast enough. At Virginia Dale Station they ran off nine head ot stock. H*re Tim Euuis, au old hunter, was met by an Indian professing to be a “friendly Rappaho,” and held in con versation till six other savages appeared and shot a poisoned arrow through his liv er. I saw him die, in four hours, frothing at the mouth, a most cxcruciatiug death. Now, ihere has been no known provoca tiou for these atrocities. The Indians say, “It the white men would keep away, the Buffalo would come again.” But, the whites won’t keep away. And it is the duly and interest of the Government to give protec tion to those who pass through these terri tories, going to develop the mines, and build up new States. The pacification policy, as we have seen above, will not answer. The common rules of war will not answer. I wou'd not go for extermination ; but, hav ing been out in that country four years, and seen the temper of the Indians, I conclude that nothing short of a very severe punish ment, by au irresistible army ol white troops, will teach Un m to behave them selves. if squaws, abandoning their chil dren in the wigwams. Bland in the rifle pits to fight us, the idea ot discrimination is ab surd. One hundred ot Col. Chiviugtcn’s troops had seen their own wives and chil dren massacred, and their ranches burned. These mike the soldiers to deal with the treacherous redskins. I should not wonder if the “ Hero of Sand Lake ’’ were to fie loudly called tor to put an end to this In dian rebellion. A RETURNED CONFEDERATE. Clarence J. Prentice, a son of the re nowned “ Geo. D.” of the Louisville Jour nal, who was a distinguished officer in the Confederate service, is now the local editor of that paper. In response to a contempti ble attack by a newspaper, be responds as follows: From the Louisville Jourani. A paragraph, that appeared in a recent number of The Cincinnati Commercial and was copied substantially by two or three other papers, said of us (the Local Editor of the Journal) that, although we had been in the Confederate service, we should probably be “let up” by the Federal Government, as we had killed rebels in street fights, and the writer had never heard of our shedding any Federal blood. As to the amount of Fed eral blood we may or may not have shed, we have nothing to say. Wc feel deep grief in the thought that it has ever been our lot to shed any hnman blood at all, but we believe that what we have shed can never cry to us from tbe ground. We have never sought to take life, except in manifest self defense, or in defense of what we honestly believed at the time to be the sacred cause of our country. We bad loved the Union, we had speken and writ ten for it in Europe; our heart, four thous and miles away, had leaded and thrilled at the eight of the old flag, and, on return, we did not go into the rebellion until a pro found conviction waafoiced upon our mind that the Smtb ought not to be subjugated. We gave her what aid we could, as tens of thousands of better m.‘n did. We joined her armies, leaving a most happy home and beloved parents and child, aud went where we knew we must encounter hunger and thirst android and toil and weariness and the risk of wounds and death. However much we may, iu going, have erred in judgment or conduct, our heart was not wrong. There is no t horn iu our conscience, no stain upon our souT, no “ damned spot ” upon our hands We feel regret, but not remorse. The South fought long and bravely. We stood by her from the first to tbe last. We never in all the war did a deed or g*va an order of which we think we need be asham ed. We never committed an outrage, or tolerated one on the part of any offic .r or man of our command. We neyer allowed theft or robbery, or burning, or the mal treatment of captives. We do not believe that we ever held a prisoner who would not now take pleasure in bearing testimony that he was made as comfortable as our own soldiers. The South was beaten in the protracted aud awfnl Conti et. Sadly, we confess, we accepted the decision of the God of Batiks Bui we accepted it iu all sincerity. The Confederacy, to which we Lad given some ot our life’s best years, be ing co longer a living thing, we infinitely preferred the o'd Union to any other coun try on the globe, and wc even felt a pride iu her gigantic strength, though co. quered and humiliated by ii,. We returned aud took Hie oath of allegiance. We took it with no mental reservation We took it iu all possible sinci rity. We took it with a determination to keep it though death should look us in the lace. One ol otu first acts, on our coming back, was to . tier c ur services to Gen. Palmer to take command Of a huudred returned Confederates, all sworn like ourselves, aud aid in driving the remnants of the murd« rous guerilla bands lrom Kentucky. The General expressed biroselt repeatedly much gratified with the < ff-r, but he said he had no power to ac cept it. We stand ready now, if occasion should arise, to fight for the United States against the world in arms. But we trust that never again may our eyes ache with the sight ot blood and slaughter. And now we ask why it is that we, and others in our situation, returned Uonlede- rates, bound by voluntary oaths to keep all the obligations of true and loyal citizens, cannot be permitted to live among our tek low-citizens unmolested ? We have not much to complain of in our own individual case. On the contrary, we take pleasure in saying that, of all the thousands of our old friends and acquaintances here, not one, so far as we know or believe, has stood aloof lrom us since our return, and not one has greeted us less heartily than he would have done il we had been in the Federal, instead of the Confederate service. Some others, however, have been treated less kindly, ancl occasionally a paragraph like that of the Cincinnati Commercial appears in the pa pers. Why are such paragraphs put forth ? Whaf is their purpose? What are they in tended to effect? Are the sueers meant merely to exasperate? Are the taunts de signed simply to wound ? „ Will the enemies of peace and harmony never cease to ply their evil trade, their mischievous vocation among us ? We have said much more than we intend ed. We hope we shall not leel called on o speak of ourselves again. Of course, we have no more to do with the political char acter of the Journal than any one not at all connected with the paper. FATAL RESULT OF A TOUNO LA DY*S FONDNESS FOR SCRIBBLING. A lew days ago,says the Rochester Union, the Albany papers noticed a vile hoax, as follows: Some cowardly scamp sent us, a while ago, a notice of what purported to be the marriage of a couple at Oneida Valley, Mad - ison county. Although the usual fee did not accompany it, we published it, because we have a number of subscribers in that place. We have siuce learned that the no tice was a cruel hoax. The names given were those of well known parties, but no marriage between them occurred, or was ever dreamed ot. The denouement was a sad and tragic one for the foolish author, a young lady of Onei da Valley, named Cornelia Fisher. The particulars are given by a correspondent of the Rome Sentinel Miss Fisher, under the name of Caroline St. Clair,' Wrote and mailed the notice to the Oneida county, as well as the Albany papers, and all published it. For a while it remained a mystery who the author was. Suspicion first fell upon a young man in the place, and then was finally directed toward the yonng lady herself but nothing definite was known. Oae day, while about her household work, she was questioned by her mother in regard to the matter, who told her ol the penalty ot the law, and the probable puuisbment she would receive if guilty. For a moment after that the mother was absent from the room, but was soon recalled by hearing her name faintly pronounced. She gmckly re-, turned and found Cornelia apparently dying. Her mother asked her what was the matter. She replied that she did not know; she feared she would die, and requested her mo ther to pray for her. In a few moments thereafter she breathed her last. She had for some time previous been troubled with the heart disease, and this, under the over-excitement ot the moment, is believed to have caused her death. De ceased was about eighteen years of age, possessed of a respectable character, and was of a quiet and retiring disposition.-— After her death, matters came to light that proved beyond donbt that she was the au thor of the letters. The writing was appa rently disguised, yet in feature it agreed with her own proper hand willing. Corne lia seemed to possess a mania for writing and holding imaginary correspondence wit h different persons. She would write, stamp and post-mark letters, address them to her self, and then drop them into the office, to be presented to her as genuine by the un thinking postmaster. Physicians have been consulted, who say she was insane on the subject. The fate of this young lady should serve as a warning to those afflicted wilb the mania which caused her tragic end.

Further Returns from Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, loana and Indiana — The Pros pects compared with former years — A con Imitation of encouraging reports. The following continuation of reports setting forth the condition and prospects ol the crops in Wisconsin, Michigan, Minne sota, Indiana,.and Iowa, will be Iound upon perusal, to coincide in most essential res pects with preceding accounts lrom those States, which have been published in these columns. Miss Augusta J. Evans, authoress of Beulati,”“Macaria,”&.'.,h&a be^p spending some time in New York, the gu st of Mr. Darby, publisher. A cot respondent speak ing of her says: “Miss Evans is not looking marly so well as when we saw her in 1860. Her health has evidently been &ff ct*_d by llie cares and (xperiences« f the past four years, and there is no doubt that she is deeply disappointed at tbe result of the war. Prub ibiy no wo man entered into the cause ot the tSouth more earnestly, believing moreover in its justness than Miss Evans, and when the bub ble burst, and she saw that the Confederacy was a failure, no one Could feel the bitter ness of the moment more than she. “Ma nana,” and also an earlier novel, “The Al amo,” were both re published here during the war, and as they had a good sale, there ought to be quite a snug little sum coming to her for the enpj right. Miss Evans ex pects to return to Mobile in the course of a few dsys” Trice's Adjutant General Killed.— Wh learn from a Kansas City paper, and & person in this city, that A L McLean, for merly of Lnfayette county, Mow, was killed at Washington, Texas, a short time since, by Col. Robert Wood, son of Aaron Wood, ot Saline county. McLean was Gefe. S er- ling Price’s Adjutant General, from the first outbreak of the rebellion, in 1861, and, it is said, was relied upon by the General as a chief counsellor and director in business matters, lie was a Scotchman by birth, ol good education, pleasing anl courteous manners, and was credited by those who knew him with the possession of undoubted courage and skill as an officer, The cir cumstance of hts violent death grew out of the application ot Wood tor a furlough, which was not granted, as ha supposed, on account of the objections of McLean.— Meeting f hort.'y %ftr-r iu a saloon, an alter cation sprung up between the two, when Wood shot McLean and killed him, as sta ted. Persons here report that the fatal event had caused Wood most intense anguish. It has been stated iu some of the papers that the homicide was committed by Car- roll Wood, son of George Wood of this city. This is not correct, however, as we are in formed through a source very likely to he well informed in the matter.—Si Louis Re publican, 25th inst. NEGRO SUFFRAGE. As one ot the “ signs of the times," the New York Express gives the following: “The Auburn Advertiser, the home mouth piece of Seward, declares that the attempt at another negro agitation will prove a fail ure. ‘That powder has been shot eft once,’ says this organ, and it warns the party to hesitate belt-rc embarking upon another crusade. The Troy Whig also opposes the attempt to force universal suffrage upon the South at the point of the bayonet, and de clares that sr.cb a course on the part of the Federal Government, 'would be far more dangerous to the liberties of the country than to permit half the population of the South to be disfranchised according to the forms of law. A woman has been arrested at Mad ison, Indiana, for starving two children, her nephew and niece. She pat them in a wood shed and kept them there until the girl died, and Ihe boy wae discovered by some pe q.le almost gone. THE CROPS IN WISCONSIN. The following additional returns from Wisconsin, including five counties, tnrnisli renewed evidence of the generally excel lent condition ot the crops in that State KRWANKE COUNTY. “A snhrcriber” writes, July 17, that Ihe Wheat is already cut, and Ibe crop is large, the grt^n being full and plump. Bariev will probably vield an amount double last year’s ciop. The Oat crop is very large — Hay and Vegetables of all kinds look pro mising. PIERCE COUNTY. Henry Youngroan writes, July 14, that the chinch hug made their appearance among t>e Wheat early in the spring, but were all destroyed by the Jane rains, so that they inflicted no damage on the crops. The yield ot wheat will be about one-third greater than last year’s crop. Coro plant ing was delayed some by the co'd rains and the prospects are not as good as last, year, although a good ciop is promised. Oats and Barley were sown to about the same extent as fast year, and promise an aver age crop. Tbe root crops are nearly all de stroyed, though Potatoes promise well. CHIPPEWA C VPNTY. A letter of July 18. states that the amount of laud sown in Wheat is much less than .last year, and the prospects are that the crop will be at least one-fourth greater. - Corn planting was delayed by wet weather, and the crop has suffered some from the frost. Oae-lonrtb more was planted this year than last, but the prospects are not so good. The ciops of Oats and Barley will both be about one third greater than last year Rye will yield an average crop.

There is also an in crease in the arnouut ot Corn planted, and the prospects are better than last year at this time. The crop of Oais, Bark y and Rye have sustained Very little damage and will probably yield an increase over Iasi years’ crop of from one-third to one-half. VERNON C UNTY. T. Smith writes, Jnly 20, that Wheat and Oats were sown over abont the same breadth ol land as last year, and the yield will prob ably be abont one-fourth larger. Thc«hinch bug is doing bat little damage as yet, as there were a plenty of heavy rains in Jane and July. Corn is planted more extensively than last year, and 1 K»ka well, and there will be a fair crop if it is not damaged by the trosta. Barley was bat little sown, but the crop looks well and bids fair lira good yield. Hay will pr i b ibiy yield one third more than last years’ crop. The crops all look better than they have for a number ol previous years.

Corn has been considera bly injured by the cut worm, but promises an average crop. There was a smali in crease iu ihe amount of oats sown, and the prospects, it i3 said, never were finer Barley and rye were sown in very small quantities. WABASfTAW COUNTY. S. Stanley writes, July 17, that Wheat will furnish about an average Crop. Corn was planted over a much larger extent of ground, but the prospects are very poor, owing to the delay in planting, from which it has not yet entirely recovered. There is a large increase in the amount ol oats sown, and the prospects are good for an abundan* yield. Bailey will yield one-fourth more. No rye has been sown,, THE CROPS IN INDIANA. * An additional report from Indiana de* scribes (lie crops in one couuty as follows : GIBSON COUNTY. Amos Benton writes, July 14, that the crops look very poorly. A great portion of the Wheat is straw, and there will be but half A crop. There will be but little corn raised. Its growth was delayed about a month by the spring rains, and the crops have not yet recovered from the effects of the injury.
