At the time of the c.\ph ■ on, ain't’ II o’clock a', night, the boat v.as making fan speed, and ivu going aho it an av rage in e. I win called, at JO o’clock, by Cap ion 1 car son, lo tiku charge of Hiu (leek. Ahollt lb or JO minutes, he loro the exp.os.u.i, 1 went down toll.c main deck to coll one of the o en to the wheel, and in j a dug to ■ . riant en gineer n lied him how every thing wa3 going ■on, ho replied “very well.” I'lto man cal cd tamo to the wheel, ami 1 returned lo tho up per dock, and was walking athwart ship, m front of the wheel-house, in order that I might boo both tides of the mast, and when in that Bit'iitl.ou the took (dice, which threw mo between tho inii.d uml the buiunrUe. From the injury I reco.vud in my hren-J, hip and ham), 1 have very little doubt that I must have been thrown against tho bulwarks, and alter striking was canted towarda tho innst. I am ignorant of Iho inno I rein lined in this situation, hut certainly some minutes, perhaps ( four or five. On first coining to my senses, j I imagined a keg o I powder bad exploded, tbo sound that I remembered win like that ol ) blowing up a house. In u moment after I j supposed I In* (mo chuso, tbo bursting of tbe boiler. I sprung on my fool, uml discovered persons issuing Irom tbo forward cabin sky. light. They were generally inquiring what was the matter. 1 had no time lo parley, conceiving it to he my duly ns quick as pos sible, lo ascertain what was the real statu of things, and for this purpose, I made my way through the plank and rubbish that was around me, and wont all on ihe starboard side. When headed as far as the forward cabin eompan u i way, I discovered that the main dock and f romenadc deck, wire entirely blown out of H ( boat, amidships, ami (be rooms on th i-tai hoard side on the main deck, were blown over. At this moment, 1 discovered a gentle man abend of me, who I think, was Mr. Tap. pan, of New York, who was looking down in to the hold, and calling fur buckets of water lo pul out the lire. I his passing, r was from the forward cabin, I afterwards understood. No one was yet seen from the after cabin—l immediately cast my r y es below, and saw that die starboard side of Ihe boat, amidships, was out as far down as the water’s ege. A few plank were hanging loise'y by the broken limbers, working in and out, by Ibc tolling ot the boat. Iw as now folly sale.bed of die dan gerous situation the boat was in. I at once resolved to secure one of the boats, in order to save my own life, and those ol as many oth ers, as I might he able. I was compelled to make my way as well as I could, upon the loose plank, by holding on tbo lop plank, and fixing my' feel on tin- plank below. In I bis way 1 gained the after deck, where a crowd of persons assembled, and forced my way through them to the boat. I sprang into the boat, and requested oiThose on board to lower me away. I was then asked what my iiilen tion was. I answered, the object I had in i view was to ascertain w hat injury the hull ol the Pulaski had sustained. Mr. Swift, ol New- ■ Medford, jumped into the how of the boat, and asked me if I did not want assistance; I answered in the affirmative. The boat was immediately lowered away, and Mr. Hwili ami my.selt nnlni iked tho tackle, upon which Mr. Tappaii lowered hiui boll from the davits by tbeiaoklo, and 1 look him m, apd pulled iiniiid tbo bow of the Lott; and round the larboard side, aft as litr as I lie j s'ern, keeping Hear of tbe boat ns bliu lolled, i Upon my survey of the boat on the u award ; appearance, I was.-nil tied ti nt she would be j lost, us I considered her in a sinking eundi turn.

As soon as I could ! stand, I made a signal to Mr. Coupcrjlo Hand i oif, which be understood, as lie afterwards in- I formed mo. 1 then went down to tlio beach to find an inlet, in order to direct them to it. i Finding none, I returned to my boat, which bad drilled ashore, for tlio purpose of hauling her across tin; beach to Mtump Hound, in or der to send to tlio main laud for assistance.

The whole of us then wentaorois tlio beach lo meet the return of the boat, but the boat bad not returned, and we wore compelled lo divide our clothing with the ladies, and even lo collect dry grass lor a covering for lb in, the air being very bleak for the lime of year. 1 dug a bole In the sand ami thus obtained a scanty supply of bud wa ter. About 10 o'clock, throe canoes came over lo ns, (rom Mr. Redd’s, and wo were landed at bis bouse about 11, being just 34 hours since onr disaster.

Tlio next day I intended In go lo Wilmington about thirty odd miles, and Air. tamper bad written a letter which I was directed to carry, direct ed lo Mr. Win. F.itlon, of lids place. Not being able to ride on horse-back, nor to obtain any other conveyance, I did not leave until Monday, (lie 17tli, when Air. Tappuu, Air.

During this day il Idow j a gale of wind, uprooting trees and inundating j the road, and tiller a most laborious time, we reached about half way, where we tarried fur the nigh', and were treated with great hospi tality by Air.

I'rom our Correspondent, Washington, July 4lh, 1838. la the Senate to day, Mr. Davis from the Committee on Commerce, reported a Joint Reso lution, directing the Secretary of Iho Treasury to have made under the superintendence of Me Hasan;, ono standard balance for each state, and to have them delivered to the respective (lover nors for the use of the several stales. Ajoiutrc solution was adopted in 1830, for making a set ol weights, and measures, as a standard for each stale, and they had been mostly prepared and arc ready for distribution. The object of this resolu tion, was to give each stale, a standard balance; It was ordered to a third reading. Mr. lliniiiAun asked leave to introduce a Joint Resolution, providing that the banks in the Dis trict of Columbia should not bo required to re deem their five dollar notes, before the first of Dc comber next, notwithstanding any law to the contrary, unless the banks in neighbouring slates should resume before that period. Mr. At.i.kn of 1 Ohio, objecting, the resolution was not received. iiAniioeu IIILC. Mr. Davis from the Committee on Commerce, reported the bouse bill, providing- for the im . provement of harbour.*, and tho rwiovui of oh , stmetions alibi- mouths of certain rivers,for 1838 ! with some amendments. The concurrence of the L Senate in the amendments was asked for by Mr. 1 Davis, hut il being objected to, the bill was laid on the table (or tho present. Sumo conversation then arose, as to whether this day be considered one of the three last days of the session, during which a joint rule of Con gress prevents any bill or measure from passing from ono house to the other. The Chair finally decided that Sunday ought not to be regarded as a day of legislation, and hence, this was to be viewed one of the lust days ol the Session. A motion was made to suspend the Joint rules in question, for this day, but it was negatived. The -secretary then proceeded to the consideration of private bills, from tlie House, and dispose of a great number. In the House, Mr. Adams again occupied the whole of the morning hour with his speech on the annexation of Texas to the Union —to hr cumiiivnl. I suppose the old gentleman will continue to talk till the end ol tkp session. After that, the Senate Hill providing lor iho letter security of passengers in vessels propelled by steam was taken up: the amendments concur red in; and the bill pas.-od, Il now only requires '.be approval of the J’lesidi ut, in older to become a law. This important measure contains several pro.- vi.ioiis, which, il is hoped, will tend to tho pre :e. valioii of life and pro) erty. i’erhaps, howov er, tho most important of all is a section introdu ced yesterday on Mr. Wi. a,, r, it's motion.

Tmmdoy MotMili?, July !()• I fool it to In? u iluly tvhicli I owe to my follow ciiizeiiH of Augusta, to l;iy lit'lbic them the cir cumstances of the Ii iso a Kempt which was made to lake my life on Saturday morning last, at the Depot ol the South I'arolina Rail Road, in Ham burg. On my going into the door of the Ticket office, I was met in a very calm and peaceable manner by Robert Glover, whose desperate cha< meter is well known in Augusta, and asked if my name was Jones —to whieh I replied in the aflir malivo. lie then said ho wished to say a word or two to me, and pulling out a number of the* ( hroiiido and Sentinel of Friday morn ing last, and pointing to the editorial article in which his conduct in assaulting and biting off the nose of one ol the city officers, was spoken of in pretty strong terms,asked me, isl was the author of it.— I told him I was. He then handed rue a written paper, which ho requested mo to read. It pur ported to be a retraction, to bo signed by me, of all, or pretty much ail of what was contained in the article in the Chronicle. I did not read it all » but enough to see that it was such a paper as I , could not sign, most especially as it was evident from all the circumstances, that it was attempted to be extorted from mo. Without saying a word, I turned and walked up to the ticket box, with the paper si,ii in my hand, and remarked to Mr, bishop,of Augusta, that a difficulty Was about to ensue between Glover and myself, and 1 wished him to observe what passed. I then folded up the paper, and turned to Glover,who had followed me up to the ticket box, and satd,“.St>, / shall not sign it. “Then hy Goil Sir,” replied he, “you nr me, one fulls,” and commenced to gel out his pistols. I instantly dicvv out a small pocket pis tol, and was in tiro act of cocking it, which he perceived, and seeing that I should be ready to fire first, he turned, quickly round one or two of the by-slanders so as to place them between btm. and myself, and ran off twenty or thirty feel towards the other end of the room, drew out a couple of largo bosom pistols, turned and levelled one of them in the direction of my posi tion. At this distance, ho was beyond the reach of my small pistol, with the least degree of cer tainly Irotn an unpractised hand, and yet suffi ciently near to make an almost certain shot with his own. I resolved not to fire at that distance) and when the crowd parted to either side of the narrow room, I stepped also to one side, which left me in such a position that he could not fire without as great danger of killing some one else as myself. At this moment, as he was hesitating to fire, a gentleman connected with the Rail Road stepped up and caught hold of him ; several others immediately interfered, to prevent any firing, and ray friends pressed mo into the car, the door of which opened at the door of the ticket room, so as to step from one to the other. Glover then left the Depot and went off to Hamburg, his hiding place from the 1 reach of the Georgia laws. I again ask the people of Augusta how long are these atrocities to continue! When shall the lives of peaceful citizens be secure from the assaults ol dispcradocs and assassins! I ask no peculiar sympathy in my own behalf, but I must bo permitted to say that if Editors arc left alone, unsuslaincd by the community, to combat lawless bands ol men, at the imminent peril of their lives, we arc too few in number, to accomplish any thing lor the public good. A sense of this dan ger, and ol a disposition on the part of the corn* munily, to talk much, and do little, has already placed the press under restraints 100 long. Shall it continue! Is there no remedy! If not, we had better submit at once and live at the mercy of men, who are beyond lire reach of laws, which they are in the daily habit of violating. I’eaccs ful men seldom carry arms, while lawless charac ters stalk about in our midst, armed to die teeth, and ready to strike down any man who attempts to expose their violations of law* and with an al most certain prospect of eluding justice, either by running'Oll) or by the tardiness of the law and 'he want ol energy on lire part of citizens, or by u.e aid ol Choir companions and accomplices. <Hovel 1 had every rouion to suppose that 1 was unarmed, and would fail pn easy victim. unusual bine and and place of bis attack proves it. Aly _ very dress indicated an unarmed man; having on at ike lime only a round jacket, without any v sl, be could plain 1 )’ see tbal there were no weap on, in my ho;om. Nothing saved my life but the pis id in my pantaloons pocket, mid tbo promptness with which it was, unexpectedly to him, drawn out.

The design ofthe Rector is, not merely to make his pupils familiar with this or that depart ment of literature or science, but to train and pre pare them lor the performance of all the high and important duties ol life.

The discipline of this school is mild and parental, yet at the same lime firm and affectionate.
