fore travelled from the up-country lo Augusta,
j exposed lo the rays of a vertical sun, or the incle

greatly obviated those disadvantages ; the facility
with which we are conveyed by that establish

and lo allay the apprehensions of even the mo.-t

conductor are such, as to make every passenger
feci comfortable and at home.
g But with all these advantages on the Georgia

of their complaint is a cause of merriment to the
Tavern-keeper—it is great sport to him to hurry
his guests when the train-bell rings and lo sco
them exit with half a meal, instead of a whole
one ; but it is not an occasion to induce so merry
a mood (as Boniface exhibits) in him who, hav

compelled lo retire without value teceivcd. It is
a fact that passengers by the Georgia Rail Road

HEART-RENDING CATASTROPHE !
LOSS OF STEAM PACKET PULASKI.
Ihth u Cvcw of 37, at id 159 or 160 I J usseugei's.
On Thursday the 14th inst- the steamer Pulas
ki, Capt. Dubois, lelt Charleston for Baltimore
with about 150 passengers, of whom about 50
were ladies.
At about II o’clock on the same night, while
oil tlio North Carolina coast, say 00 miles from
land, weather moderate and night dark—the star
board boiler exploded and the vessel was lost, •
with all the passengers and crew, except those
whose names are enumerated among the saved
in the list to be found below.
We have gathered the following facts from the
Ist. mate, Mr. Hibberd, who had charge of the
boat at the time. Mr. Hibbcffi stales that at 10
0 clock at night, ho was called to the command
01 the boat, and that ho was pacing the promcn -
adc deck, in front of the Steerage house. That
ho found himself shortly after upon the main
deck, lying between the mast and side of the
boat. That upon the return of consciousness, be
had a confused idea of having heard an explosion
something like that of gunpowder, immediately
before he discovered himself in his then situation.
Ho was induced, therefore, to rise and walk aft
where ho discovered that the boat amidships was
blown entirely to pieces; that the head of the
starboard boiler was blown out, and the top torn
open—that the timbers and plank on the star,
board side were forced assunder, and that the
boat took in water whenever she rolled in
that direction. He became immediately aware
of the horrors of their situation, and the
danger ol letting the passengers know that
the boat was sinking, before lowering the
small boats. Upon dropping the boat, ho
was asked his object, and he leplied that it was to
pass around the Steamer to nsrertain her condi
tion. Before doing this, however, ho look in a '
couple of men. Ha onleroiUJ* p, ucbo c J via! -i.vo J.yj
but they leaked so much in consequence of their
long exposure to the sun, that one of them
sunk alter a fruitless attempt, to hail her.
He had in the interim taken several from the
water until the number made ten. In the other
boat afloat there were eleven. While they wore
making a fruitless attempt to ball the small boat
the Pulaski went down with a dreadful crash—in
about 44 minutes after the explosion. Both
boats now insisted upon Mr. Hibberd’s directing
their course to the shore but ho resisted their re
monstrances; replying that ho would not aban
don the spot until day light. At about 8 o’clock
in the morning, they started in the midst of the
wailings of the hopeless beings, who were float
ing around in every direction, upon pieces of the
wreck, to seek land which was about thirty miles
distant. Alter puffing about 13 hours, the per
sons in both boa s became tired and insisted that
Mr. Hibberd should laud; this he opposed, thin
king it safest to proceed along the coast and to
enter some one ol its numerous inlets, but he was
at length forced to yield to the general desire, und
to attempt u landing upon the beach, a liltle east
of Slump Inlet. Ho ad vised Mr. (deeper, of (la.
who had command of the other boat, and a cm
plo of ladies, with two children under his charge,
to wait until his boat had first landed, as ho up.
prohended much danger in the attempt, and
should they succeed, they might assist him and
the ladies, and children.
Theic vve.-e eleven persons in the mate’s boat,
(having taken two black women from Mr. Coop
er’s.) Os the. u, two passenger,*, one of the crew,
and tire two negro women drowned, and six gain
ed the shore. After wailing for a signal, which
bo received from the mate, Mr. Cooper and his
companions landed in about three hours after the
11. it boat, in safely. They then proceeded a short
d: c.aiica across Chump Bound, to Mr. Redd’s, of
Onslow county, where they remained from Fti
day evening until Sunday morning, and then
started for Wilmington. Tne mate and two
passengers reached hero this morning, (18th,)
about 9 o’clock.
Thus have we hurriedly sketched the most
painful catastrophe that has ever occurred upon
the American coast. Youth, ago, and infancy
have l.oto boon cut elfin a single night, and
found a common death under the same billow.
“ Days, months, years and ages will circle away,
Amt still the vast waters will over than roll.”
We have never seen a deeper sensation per.
vadc our community than the reception of this in
telligence has produced. Tho profoundcst sym
pathy is engraved on every countenance, and all
wear the aspect of those sorrowing for their own
dead. Wo feel assured that all fool an anxious
solicitude to alleviate the distress of those unfor
tunate survivors who may come among us, and
vehicles have already been sent out to bring them
into our town, and provision made for their re
ception.

Prom our Correspondent.
Washington, June 16, 1838.
To-day the House resumed the consideration
of the Report of the Committee on Foreign As.
fairs, for the discharge ol that Committee front
the further consideration of the memorials for the
e annexation of Texas; with the motions of Mr
* Cushing, Mr. Thompson, and Mr, Adams, (each
-of which I noticed particularly in yesterday’s
" letter.)
! Mr. Adams, who was entitled to the floor,
addressed the House at considerable length on
the general questions involved. He began with
! some allusions to the reply of Mr. Dhomooolk,
’ of Virginia, to his question as to whether the
1 Committee had given any consideration to the
I petitions, memorials, and resolutions on the an
* nexation of Texas, which had been referred to
them.
Mr. Dhomgoole replied, that he would not
1 consent to he catechised as to the proceedings of
the Committee.
Mr. Adams commented on the evasion, as ho
termed it ; and in consequence of his remarks,
1 Mr. Legahe, a member of the Committee, rose,
and volunteered the statement, that ho had not
1 looked into one ol the papers referred to.
! Mr. Adams asked if ho was right in under
-1 standing the gentleman to say that he had nol
looked into one of the papers!
Mr. Lkgaue replied, “not one.”
Mr. Adams then quoted thej 70th rule of the
1 House, which prescribes, qmong tbc duties of the
Committee on Foreign Affairs, that it shall ex
amine and report on ihc papers referred to them.
Mr. A. proceeded to comment with some severity
on what he called the failure to do dns duly, im
plied by Mr Leg auk’s answer.
Mr. Leg aims said tbc gentleman must not sup
pose that ho had nut fully considered the matters
Mr. Adams then called up all his powers of
raillery and sarcasm, for the purpose of casting
ridicule on the idea he attributed to Mr. Lkgaue,
of considering the papers referred to the Commit
tee, without having read one of them.
The Ex-President, from that point, went into
the subject of the right of petition, which he said
was not enjoyed, unless the petitions were impar
tially considered and fully reported upon. Ho
declared that to receive a petition, and yet not
consider it, was a distinction unworthy of a man
in private life, and much more unworthy of a
grave deliberative body. No wooden nutmeg
system of a Y&nkec was more to bo" reprobated.
It was indeed the wooden nutmeg system of the
House, to treat the petitions of the people, and
the resolutions of slate legislatures in that manner.
’ He was proceeding in this way, when the
Speaker interrupted him by anouncing the termi
nation of the morning hour, and calling the orders
of the day.
The House went into Committee of the
Whole, and after some time spent therein, re
ported the following bills from the '100010;
A act authorising the appointment of persons
to test the usefulness of inventions to improve
and render safo the boilers of steam engines
1 against explosions.
A bill to authorise the President of the Uni ed
1 States to have the invention of Samuel Raub
1 applied to steam engines in the use of the United
Stales.
’ In the Senate, to-day, Mr. Buchanan prc-cn
’ i (cd a memorial from citizens of Philadelphia city,
’ I and county praying the immediate passage of the
’ 1 Sub-Treasury Bill. The occurrence ol a paper
1 j of this kind, now and then is quite a God send to
’ the Subservallves !
On motion of Mr. Roane, the Secretary of the
I Navy was directed to communicate tolh j Senate
the proceedings of a Court Martial held at GO.l

The Bill to establish an additional Land Office
in Louisiana, and the Bill to incorj

1 ’fire Bill to create the office of Surveyor Gen
eral of the public lands in Michigan was taken
up, and alter some discus-don was laid on tiro ta
ble.
The Senate then proceeded to the consiilcra
lion of private bills ; and were engaged with bu
1 si ness of that character during the remainder ol
' the silting.
' The Sub Treasury Bill will he called up by
1 Mr. Cam dueling, on Tuesday next. The op
-1 ponents of (ho measure have no disposition to
s debate it: but the friends of the Administration
" are anxious to do so ; and lire determination ol

In tho same paper we find a dreadful ac
count ol tlie murder <>) U7O Dutch emigrant!;
men, women and children, by a chief of th
Zoola country natninl Dingann, iu the vicini
ty of Port Natal. They had gone thither in
lending to nettle, having been invited L>v the
chief himself, and, until the murder, trcalec
wiih every appearance of friendship,
e- Tlie fol.owing particulars arc from the Jour,
nal of Maud 1
It appears that two persons, named Dupluoj
and Bronkhorst, have returned from the Leo
get or encampment, who slate, that after tin
nt emigrants had passed the mountains and on
to red the Natal country, it was resolved that
111 lielief, with a party ot s ; xty men, should rev
h- pair to the kraal of the Zoola Chief, for the
tl, purpose of concluding delitiilivo engagements
„ c as to the territory in which llio farmers pro-
posed to establish themselves, and some ollu
’ or matters which had not been fully decided.
On the departure of Relief, it was deemed
important by those more in advance to fall
hack upon the rear division under Marctz,
n which they accordingly did, but still they were
f. far too widely scattered, as well as too confi
n ding in the good tailli and professions of friend
-0 ship of the natives of the country. It scorns
r. that a few days after Reliefs departure
h tho Zoolas suddenly made a night attack
s upon the encampment. Those in front
were soon aroused, Hew to their arms,
r > and commenced firing, which speedily al-
i 1 armed those in the rear; hut still tho as
-1 sailants were not repulsed until 115 ot the
’ emigrants, comprising n:cn, women and chil
-1 dren, had fallen by tho murderous spear and
knife of the barbarians. Many ot the assuil
mils fell, however, in this rencounter; and
they were pursued so hotly the next day by
t Martcz that the sheep which had been taken
I in the firs', instance were recovered, ami a
considerable number ot the Zoola force slain,
The emigrants subsequently received infornm
. tion from tlie natal seniors that Relief and all
his party had been cut off by order of Dingaan.
t It is also stated that the farmers were collec
ting their forces—that Martcz had already
commenced active operations against lire cue.

whole of the emigrants, viz: a burning desire
to avenge the savage slaughter of their ill-fa

~, l<> win his niiiilre us by carrying her to the Ui|
ol a mountain, and how he did win her; am
„ s I' 1 '" they ended their dat aon the same spot

Ids stout heart to the uttermost, must havi
|N been amongst the lowest. Let us fancy it i
l_ good, lofty hill, in the summer time. It wm
llt any rate, so high that the father of Die lady,
d a proud nobl-, thought it impossible fori
young man so burdened, to scale it. for till;
i'- reason alone, in scorn, be bade liim do it, and
his daughter should be his.
)’ The peasantry assembled in the valley to
i- witness so extraordinary a sight. They meas.
le ured the mountain with their eycsi they com
i - mimed with one another and shook their heads;
it hut all admired the young man, and some ol
... ids fellows, looking at their mistresses, llmt’
e they could do as much. The father was on
8 horseback, apart and sullen, repenting that lie
~ had subjected his daughter even to the show
, of such a hazard; but lie thought it would
I teach his inferiors a lesson,
j The young man, (.the son of a small land
, proprietor, who had soma pretensions to
wealth, though none to nobility,) stood, re
’ speelful looking but coiilident, rejoicing in
J ids heart that he should win his mistress, tho’
• at tlie cost of a noble pain, which lie could
hardly think of as a pain, considering who it
3 wfts lie was to cany. If he had died lor it, he
' should at least have had her in his arms, and
! have looked her in the lace. To clasp her
t person in that manner was a pleasure which
, lie contemplated with such a transport, as is
• known only to real lovers; for none others
. know how respect heightens the joy of dis
: pensing with formality, and how dispensing
, with formality enables and makes grateful the
I cspect.
Thu lady stood by tho side of her father,
1 pale, desirous and dreading. She thought
, tier lover would succeed, but only because she
thought her lover in every respect the noblest
t of Ins sex, and that nothing was too much fur
, his strength and valor. Great fears came
. over her nevertheless. She knew not wind
{ might happen in the chances common to all.
She fell the bitterness ol being hcrsclflhe bur
. den.to him and the task, and dared neither to
I look ut her hither nor tho mountain. She
. fixed her eyes now on the crowd, (which nev
B erllieles she saw not,) and now on her lingers’
Q ends, which she doubled up towards her with
. a pretty pretence,—the only deception she
had ever usud. Once or twice a daughter or
t a mother slipped out of the crowd, and com-
J ing up to her, notwithstanding their fear of
i the lord baron, kissed,that hand which she
, knew not whut to do with.
The father said, “Now, sir, to put an ord

sing something; then ascends at a quicker
rale; and now being at the midway point,
shills the lady from one side to Die oilier.
The spectators gave a great shout. The
baron, with an air ot indifference, biles the
tip of ins gauntlet, and then casts on them an
eye of rebuke. At the shout tho lover re
sumes liis way. fSlow, but not feeble in bis
step, yet it gets slower. Ho slops again, »ud
they think they see the lady kiss him on the
orehead. The women begin to ticrnblo, but
the men say lie will bo victorious, lie re
sumes again; lie is halfway between the mid
lo and the lop; Jio rushes, lie stops, lie stag
ers; but lie dues not full.
Another shout from the men, and ho rc
sumes once more, two thirds of tho n main*
mg part ol the way arc conquered. They
are certain the lady kisses him on the forehead
and on the eyes. The women burst into
tears, and tlie stoutest men look pale. Ho
ascends dower than ever, but seeming to be
more sure. He bulls, but it is only to plant
his loot to go on again; and thus be picks Ilia
way, planting bis foot at every step, and then
gaining ground with an effort. The lady fill
up her arm :, as if to lighten them. Ueo —he
is almost ot the lop, he slops, he struggles, he
moves sideways, taking very little steps, mid
bringing one loot every time close to the other.
Now—lie is all but on the lop; ho halls

The baron put spurs lo bis horse, the crowd
following him. Half way lie is obliged to
dismount; they ascend the rest of the lull to- i
getber, Iho ciowd s.lent and happy, the baron j
ready lo burst with shame and impatience.
They reach the top. The lovers are lace to
face on the ground, the lady clasping him with
both arms, Ins lying on cadi side.
“Traitor!” exclaimed the baron, “thou hast
practised this feat before uii purpose lu de
ceive me. Arise!”
“You cannot expect it, sir,” said a worthy
man, who was rich enough to speak his mind:
“.Samson himself might lake his rest after
such a deed.”
“Part them!” sa d the baron.
Hcverul persons went up, not lo part them,
’ but lo congratulate and keep them together.
; The people look close; they kneel down; they
’ bond atl ear; they bury their faces Upon thorn;
| “God forbid they should ever be parted more,”
t said a venerable man; “they can never be.”
‘ He turned bis old face, streaming with tears,
