Wasiuroton, March 2, 1841.
There was unite an .minuted Scene in the Senate
to-day, arising out of an extraordinary re|>ort brought
in from the Coinmillee on Military Affairs, in relei
er.rc to the National Defences.
The report was not read, hut it concluded with a
tall upon the coining Administration to state what
they deigned to do an the sul-j cl; at the same time
refusing to nuke the appiopriatiou asked foi by the
resolution referred to the Committee ou which th ie
port war bjßcd.
Mr. Preaton took the occasion to speak on the im
portant m'itter of Nation'll Defence; and with a de
gree of eloquence he has seldom surpassed.
He hoped the Administration would diiect its atten
tion to the subject at the earliest day ; und would also
present a retrospective vitw of the condition of things
up to the lime ot it* ascendency to power, lot there
lx an exact and ciicuiuatantiul account of our state of
defence up to the 4th of Match, 19 41 ; ami it would
than he found that the nest administration would begin
from nothing to do something.
Mr. Preston expressed his deep regret at the melan
choly and disgraceful condition of the country. It was
more destitute of defence than it was six year* ngn.
So far, from having progressed, it laid retrograded ; at
the end of an identical Administration of twelve years
•landing, we h ive only reports and expositions, but
nothing lisa lieen done.
Mr. Preston went ii to a number of details illustrat
ing the dilapidated elate of our fortresses, and aniiua.l
verseJ on lire negligence of the Administration in fail
ing to pi ovule the propel menus of defence. Twelve
years have -been lo t, and whatever the men coming
into potver might do, those precious years could ant he
recalled, during which, those who had commanded ma
jorities in troth Houses, might ntany time have accom
plished something for lire defence oPlhe Nation.
Mr. Preston's spec, h evidently excited to a high de
gree, the unca-iness aud ire of the Administration par
ty ; as soon ash - finished, Mr. lientotr started up, with
the most passionate voice and gestures, roared out, that
he did not design to nrak ■ a speech intended for tlia
galleries, hut he gave to the declaration of the Senator
from S. ('., the most pre-emptory coutrudictiea.—
•• Order, order,’ - was the cry on all sides.
Mr. Preston said that the (Senator's noisy emphasis
of allegation would go for nothing. He had the proofs
ofwbal he had urged, in the documents before him.
Mr. Denton, in a still louder and mma angry tone,
“ I make no speeches for the gallarios, but I will prove
my position at the extra session.”
•• Order, order,” fiom the Chair and the Senate.
Mr. Preston, •• the catch speeches for the gnilaries and [
out Os doors, come from that side not from this.— lam !
ready to meet the Senator.”
Here the, set ne ofcoufusion occasioned by tha vio
lence of smarting Loco Focoism wn* brought to a close.
The report was laid on the table and orderrJ to be
printed.
The Senate then procctJcd to the consideration of
the appropriations bills, the first takan up. was the
General Appropriation Dill lor the civil and dip'oaratic
expenses oTitle Government, which was passed with
various amendment* that require the corn u fane* of
the House,
The Dills for ilia Indian service, for the Naval ser
vice and for farlifiralious, were then successively taken
up and actr.l on. Tha exact shape in which they pas
sed, I cauuot clearly present te you at the pre-ewt, on
account af the variety of amendments that were suli
mitted.
The Senate took a lecasa until! live o'clock.
In tha llousa there was an ineffectual attempt wade
to get up the District Dank Bill. The leuismslei of
the day was consummej in the discussion of the Sen
nit's amendments to the Appropriation Dili*.

We sincerely congratulate the country upou tha in
telligence contained in anr Washington correspond
ence, relative to the existing relations between the two
countries. It is particularly gratifying now that tbe
public mind ha I become so much excited upon
the question of a probable xvar, which would ne
cessarily operate so very onerously upon Uie interests
of both, In the course of tliss debate which grow oat
of the request of the committee, to be discharged from
the further consideration ol the resolution tailing for
any further correspondence that may have taken place
between Mr. Forsyth and Mr. Fox, Mr. Buchanan
gave it ns Ins decided opinion, tlint the existing rela
tions bet wean the two countries, augured a speedy, am
ioable and honorable adjustment of the boon !ar ques
tion, and this opinion be stated was formed after a mi
nute investigation of all that had trarispircj between
the two governments, access to which was afforded
him because of his official position as chaiiwau of the
committee on Foreign relations.
Wo a r e alro much pleased to learn frot* Mr.
anan’s remarks, that tliaro was no foundation in truth
I.it the tumor which Ii and ban circulated, that • recent
correspondence of angry and exciting cha.color Lad
passu! between Mr. Forsyth and Mr. Pox.
The National Intelligencer alluding to the debate on
this question very justly says:
The remarks of Mr. (.lay, whoso wisdom and expe
rience in our Foreign Relations stamp every thing he
guys on that subject w ith a more than comtnan impress,
are no loss iuipoilatrt than acceptable. Happy uniat
it be acc anted that upon this very iaioicsting and un
portant matter, the leaders of the party coming into
[lower and of that which is about retiring, en'urtmn
opinions upon it brluien a hich there is hardly a di -
eei nahle difference.
The statement of the ( luiiim.m of die Senate’s Cor
mittec on Foreign Relations, the reader cannot fail to
perceive, has all the effort *f a counter-blast to the
martial appeal made the other day by the distinguish
ed Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations
in the other House. The effect, mark ! Wc do not
sty the intention, os we are not in the counsels of tho
honorable Senator imm Pennsylvania ur of the Admin
istration xvhosc confidence lie enjoys.
ANOTHER SCENE IN THE Hltt’SE
Tin* House wi continued in pcstioii (ill ufici j

his colleague to take no none* of him —Vo treat iiim

his, Mi. Stanley'* arm was 100 short to reach South
Carolina or South Carolinians.
Mr. Stunlyhqirang to his trial in an instant, and sad,
alt ho’ his arm might he short, it was long enough to
teach any vain boasting South Catoltrrijii, ami they
would lind it so whenever thoy were so disposed. He
was bold and cxersovcly severe in bis reply to Mr.
Campbell.
Mr. Pickens soon dashed into the fray, and referred
(Mr. Stanly probably being the smallest man in tbe
House,)’lo bis puny site, his puny arm—the l.tile thing
lie said, reminded him of the nurseiy ditty of hi* child

Mr. Stanly took it calmly ; but when Mr. Pickens
got through he rose with coalaes* in his appearance,

Mr. Stanley a limited he was a sparrow, but with his
bow and arrow he had kilbtl the vaunting poor Robin

A NATIONAL DEBT.
TUX USUI or VAX UIKLMSM.
I Our leading friends on one side, and our opponents
on die other, have made efforts, the ons to expose and
the o her to conceal the actual ainsuiit of real debt
■ which the present expiring dynasty will bequeath to
tbe nation, and to the next Administration of its af
tairs. These efforts on both sides Ii ,ve been more or
less suenea-lul though wc are of opinion that more evi
dences of debt hive leaked out than the present Admin
istration desired should conic to the public eye.
For our [iart, we are vonlijent in the opinion that,
Mr. Van Huron will leave a bund fide debt of his own
ere.uioii, or that of his friends, of more than foity rnill
j ions ol dollars, to he liquidated by the succeeding Ad
ministration,
j Mow lamentably unsuccessful, even as compared
1 with Gen. Jackson's uklniinistrution, will this fai l prove
Mr. Van Duren to have be n ! Gen. Jackson left 40
millions surplus in tbe Treasury. Mr. Van Duren
leaves 40 millions debt, or deficit!

in us, and prr cut the following- bill ol particulars, do

All this is exclusive of the French Spolilalioir and

amount, when tested by experience arid every princi-.
pis of equal ju*io, ceuldWe proven, we think in detail
We will snly add, that if round numbers have Uen
ustal, doe allowance has also been made for smaller
neias omitted.

lly comparing tbe purposes, &.C., of the appropria
tions of lh2B uli those us 1840, the utilitarianism of |
1828 as conspicuously distinguishes that era as does
the economy of its amount .
The dilferenee will appear remurkal le between the
unfulfilled obligations o. the two eras. As to those of
1840, ari analysis of theii items, and rebalance to other
facts, will show tbe positive nature of ibis debt of Van
Unionism. It was notorious tiiut the partisan majority
ill Congress refused to art on ail appropriations but
such a* the Executive deemed absolutely needful and
requisite. Private claims have been thus po.-tpoued
that tlie estimates might nut be exceeded.
This pmieiple lus regulaltd the parly far the lust
two years, within which time the Secic ary of the
Tieasury has been compelled to postpone his liquida
tions by Ins increasing necessities. In view, there
fore, of the well-scanned items of the appropriation
nets, aud of their liquidation delayed materially to this
day, it may be as-umed that the obligut.ons that now
■ vimiin are still one and all ol an imperative nature.
Sileh must tic live Unifications, Arc., introduced into i
the bill of 1840, despile the fiscal dtliculhcs of the
; Treasury, in view of a g eat national quarrel, lor u hieh
Congress deemed it necessary o prepare to tbe extent
ut least of “ repaiia” of fortifications. ‘The fortifies- 1
lion bill and debate will show this very clearly. Ti c
statement, Ho. Doc. No. 74 , will show that scarce u
dollar has been expended lor this intent of the Legis
lature. ’The moneys have not been applied, ‘The de
fences of tbe nation me, consequently, dilapidating in
tha lace of danger.
The report of the Engineer Department of this ses
sion elucidates this subject. ‘The appiopriatiims of
the last Congress, applicable to these objects, were not
made till the middle ol July, and, when made, the state
of the Treasury attached restrictions leaving the grants
intangible for the rest of the year.”

THE - LATE” MR. CUTHBERT.
Many a great man has been rewarded for his distin
guished services, by a soubriquet, expressive of some
prominent cbaiacteris'.ic. Richard of England, was
styled tire ■•Lion-hearted;* Guy of Warwick, the
“King-maker;” Andrew Jackson is still called “Old
j Hickory and our worthy Senator in Congress, “the
late Mr. Cuthliert.” Os all the examples given, none
is more strikingly apprnpiinte than this. Who is tbe
last man to appear at the Capitol, at the commence
ment of a session 1 Who is the last to leave the Fed
eral city, after Congress adjournsl ‘There is some
thing distinguished itnd f„ rionable in all this. Like
the belle who goes la t arty, the •Senator produ
ces quite a sensation, when, long looker! for, becomes
j-x rx into the Senate Chamber.
Dy u recent exploit, lie Inis killed several birds, with
one stone. First, he has immortalized himself- — Sec
ondly, he has put the stamp of •• absolute vciitv.” ‘
his zeal for southern rights, and his love for ii .
which last, he tells us, will he first fully appreciated,
at tbs late hour, Thirdly • he has fixed, past all
controversy, his irrefragable claim to t; , sou iquet
aforesaid ; and lie will he known,to the t.U t posteri
ty, as the LATE Mr. Cuihbeit! !

had resigned his seat, and left t.e Senate. Ii no ;hl
have been dangerous, for Falsi all’ to ut.aell the ining
I’ercey ; but when that gallant hero’s --spur was col.I,”
on tho field ol Shrewsbury, the baegait knight could
stab iiim in the thigh, with impunity,
Mr. Webster is accused of uttering sentiments, ob
noxious to the South, some twenty years ago: and this
charge, ufter slumliering through the whole Presiden
tial campaign, is to he revived just as
The burly burly’s done,
And the battle's lost and won.
fiuw, forsooth, he cannot escape investigation ! and
nou>, all the world is to see ith what a “ burning af
fection” the lath Mr. Cuthliert loves his “ much in
jured Stale. ’ Late as is tins exposure, it seems the
facts have long been known to the gentleman ; for he
says he charged it upon Mr. Webster, “ years ago,” in
the Senate Chamber.— Why not follow up the char
gees, then ? \\ by not expose the incendiary, and
pin the abolitionist to the wall, at once 1 It was not
CATS enough ! ! But the gentlemen savs he was
furnished w ith the document, which proves this griev j
oils charge, bv a Senator from South Carolina, during
the lust session if Congress ! Who that Senator j
was, any countryman of Mr. Webster’s might guts* .
but even a yankce can hardly tell, why that Senate. :
did not produce the documents, then, before Mr Web
ster’s face, instead ot leaving it lor hi- rat’s paw lo
speak of behind his buck, at this late hour : Foi
tliut Senator, suicly does not lear “ the boldest Percy j
j of them all.”—Dut Mr.Cuti.hcrl keeps this prciious
document (it is probably unique —as the proceedings
of important public meetings, in Boston; with Y\ eh.-ter
to lead them, are generally inaccessible, but by i
antiquarians,)—he keeps it—and that so safely, that, (
when wanted, lie cannot find it himself. Probably it !
was his seaicli alter it, that kept him out of Ins seat,
during the first three fourths of the session.—Now, he
knew that Mr. \\ chster was about to |. ave the .Senate.
The day that his resignation was to he tendered u-.s
known, everywhere, and ifMr. Cuthliert did not know
it was because lie was too late, in reading the papers,
or hearing the news of of the day. Ha sees Mr. Web
ster, in his [dace,on that very day, but postpones his 1
tremendous disclosure, till alter tim e o’clock —after j
Mr. Webster, bad retired and sent in bis resignation—
and then, late, us usual, gets up and spouts “ an hour j
by Shrewsbury clock,” about tbe lute Senator’s lie- 1
lerodoxy,—his own ever “ burning affection” for his |
“much injured State,” and (risurn leneuiis /) his:
“ regret that .Mr. Webster was not present!” Verily !
a common man is puzzled to decide whether the gen- ,
iWmWs oratory has most of ihe aulvlinw, .. •.. post- 1
lion most of the ridiculous.
Dut where, during the warm debate that followed—
where was tho document-furnishing Senator f-oin
South Carolina! Where were all the other giants of
the Adininistiation! Where was the gentleman's
own colleague (whose soubriquet we will not intrude
into “ such a picsence”) that in this late hour oflns
utmost need, not one of them came up to his help,
“ against the mighty !”—Clay and Preston, arid Rives, j
poured their successive batteries, upon our late hero, ,
and all these others, keeping aloof, left him to bear the
peppering, “ solitary and alone.” This was “backing
their friends,” with a vengeance. For such desertion
the Senator must fi and his consolation, in the gratitude
: of iiis “ much injuied Slate:” and il she does not duly
appreciate such Leonidas like devotion to her interest;
! we would advise the honorable gentleman, lute though
it he. to follow the rule of obedience to the will id his
constituents, which his party preach so loud and prac
tice so little, and to iiKscx raud Busier;*-.

Our Senator, Mr. Cuthbrrl, who has only shown
himself in his place in the Senate at the heel of the
session, and who has not, so far as we have been in
formed, even attempted to account or to apologise for
this glaring default of his duty, has at last signalized his
arrival by a very ridiculous assault on Mr. Webster,
alter that gentleman had left hi* seal, and resigned his
place in taut body. Mr. C’uthhert seems to liavi -stud
i<d to make his fanfaronade a ridiculous ullinr.; lor be

his previous act of ie*igna>i■ n ! I Ins act of attacking
a man behind his hack, is not suiicd in the taste of
Georgia, as Mr. Cutliheit ought to have known ; and
ufter the public und solemn declarations of Mr. Web
ster in Virginia, as well as in .Massachusetts, en the
subject to which Mr. Cuthbcrt referred in Ins interrog
atories, he must have felt them to have been as super
fluous and unnecessary, as they were inappropriate and
ungenerous. But we would not treat t..c matter with
an unnecessary seriousness; such ebullitions are not
of a kind to make much impression on the sober aood
sense of th people ol Georgia. The North American
of Philadelphia, in the following article, treats tin
matter in u manner much more upprnpii ,te :
“It is said the seven sin pets, when tin \ . .

THE NEW YORK BANKS.
Tlvc Ex pi css of the 20th says,—The Banks are get
ting ovet the sensitiveness in rela'ion to money. On
the suspension of the Philadelphia Banks taking place,
there was a considerable agitation. This was very
1 natural, and although the Banks wero unusually
i strong, yet tbe discussion of specie payments always
causes a sensation. Every thing is now calm and
quiet, and with the regular merchants, tnere is no un
usual pressure. The merchants arc not extended, and

! ‘The Banks are, therefore, enabled to discount for their
regular restnmer* as much as they require. In the

that lit- blow winch severed his connection with hi j
ron.-t.tuenU would have carried death tu at least one |
third of at! ins Van Jluren peers. W e repeat then, I
that sentiments so liberal, coming from one so hunted j
and abused must have a decisive weight with the in
telligence and sentiment of the country. Mr. Non-’
VKLI., a Van Buren Senator, hoped that they (the
j wings) would sweep, as with a tornado, every man in
| the looks of their political opponents from office, from
Maine to Georgia, and thus prove the insincerity of
| their professions, as their friends, wherever in power,;
| ha I already done.
Mr. Pies on. I hope not. I hope and believe no
| such thing. It may do very well as coming fiotn that
j quarter; it is natural enough that they should hope
| we shall follow their example ; but I have heard no’
such sentiment even hinted at. I protest ogiinst it,
| it is nut Whig doctrine; the Administration coming
i into po-cr reject and repudialts the infamous maxim
that the victors belong the spoils. The spoils? what,
j spoils ? The spoils of our common counlty ? The
! spoils of our brethren uud fellow citizens ? Is the
i country a vanquished country ?
; [Mr. Noi veil, across. Yes ]
God liirbid. I should as soon think of making
-spoil out of the possession of my own family,
j too long luve we seen the principle acted upon all over
the country ; we come I'o.th into power repudiating it
trout the very bottom ofuur hearts.
[M r. Norveli, across. I hope so.]
The gentleman hopes so ; just now I c hoped not.
W hatevei his hopes or his fears may be, our cour.-e is
independent of them, and will be shaped on fa’ higher
principles than those he has ascribed to us. Can any
man object to the sentiment which the potcntiil voice
of my honorable friend from Kentucky—a voice that
is the cchne of patriotism and nonor, has just made to
wring through this hall ! Why should any one ob
ject to the doctrine that a man who is not honest, nor !
capable, and who lias prostituted the power of Itis of
fice to subserve tile purposes of party, and to interfere
with the freedom of elections, should be turned out of
the office he has abused ? Is there any thing in princi
ples ol justice or policy, any thing in the highest code
of mo als, to forbid this ? Is this sweeping the land
like a tornado ? Is fthis practising on the principle
that to the victors belong tbe spoils? Bid not the dis- 1
tinguisbed petson, who is to be advanced to the head
of the Government, expressly take ground against such
a sentiment in a lull he introduced into Congress ?
l)o not his sentimentsslaud against it ? \\ e
practise on a principle like that ? No sir, no; this
..meat or proscription is itself to he proscribed. I stand
on that ground ; and so help me God. as far as lam
concerned, act upon it. I believe those who are to be
at the head of the Government have put themselves j
upon the same ground. They come into power, not
Jo div ide the spoils of the country among the members
of a faction. When that principle is avowed and fol
lowed, we cease from that moment tube a Governmen
nnd a People ; we pass into a conquered nation, and
a conquering faction, that seizes the power and the
forms of Government only, for the gratification ol cu
pidity and revenge. Never have I iPad in all the pa
ges of political profligacy a sentiment so detestable
as that the Senator has described to us. Machiavel
himself never conceived so foul a maxim, or dared to i
avow it. The author of <* The Prince would
blush to utter such a thought.
Time Ih, ui tlir bottom ol nil tins, u principle which
has cnteied, in hoiii Hurt, into inn action nl thia Uov
erniiiciit I mean the principle that public offices are not
trusts held for tile benefit ol the people, but mere mer
cenary rewards for political partisans, and that in be
stowing them oui eye is to be directed only m the sala
ry which accompanies them. I reject t e pi maple,
i protest against it. 1 reguru ofhee as a sacred trust,
and llie salary attached t. the office as a mere inciden
tal thing. 1 hold that, in appointing a man to office,
it is not to the interests of the man that are t * be look
ed at, but lliose of toe parly for whose benefit the trust
is conferred, namely, the people. 1 hold the opposite
to be a most dangerous principle, and, for one, 1 tell
gentlemen in advance that 1 will oppose the principle
wherever I meet it. I shall resist and denounce ail
giving of office as a poltti al reward, oi turning out of
office for mere political opinion. ladin t that it may
often tie a veiy delicate task to decide in what case an
individual holding office has acted improperly m the
expression of his political opinions ; when lie lias and
when lie has not transcended the line of his duly in
mingling in the party strifes of the day . Hut I hold
it to be a wing dociime, the doctime on which (icner
■il Harrison, as Fresidcut of the United States, means
to stand, that for mere political opinion no man is to he
prescribe and.
In the present case I would apply the doctrine avow
ed by the Senator from Kentucky, that w h n a man
has abused the power derived from bis office, he should
be turned out ol office.
And here let mostly what I believe. It will be ask
ed, in reference to those who hold office, whether they
• rivi’ used the power of these n , cee for parly purposes;
, have not. ind are honest, capable, and failhful,
they will not be disturbed.

DISTRESSING SHIPWRI.CK, AND LOSS OF

The following account of the diss'tious wreck of the
1 steam boat l.U’n/ilghfrr. was tereived yesterday, in a
letter directed to the editors of this paper, via Savan
nah.
In mir paper of Monday, an article was published,
from Tallahassee, from which it was concluded that
oil on board tills ill-fated boat hod perished—tbe
steamer Caroline. Oapt. Pkttis, having passed the
Lamplighter in her distressed condition, but could not
goto her assistance, as his boat was too small toon
counter a heavy sea, and besides that he had on board
a large number of passengers, among whom were sev
eral Indies, and that he was under contract to land at
least apart of his passengers, f Mr. Hurt's Theatri

L; It St. M i:b.. the stcami-i James Adams, Cap
twit bins -, on the afternoon of yesterday; having
crossed the bar we parted with our pilot, laid our
course for Cedar Keys. At 10 o'clock at night ran a
ground. 17th, found the sea had left us on a soft bed
of sand and broken shoals. From the deck to the east
ward a man was descried vv-ilk ingin the water towards
the vessel. We supposed him to ave been nit Indian.
By the help ola glass, we came to the conclusion he
must he a wit Ite man or a negro in distress. Hoisted a
flag, lowered the boat, Capt. Chase, Capt. Flu
tiler, ami three hands went in her; look with them
what arms and ammunition were on board ; rowed a
far as the depth of water would permit them. Some
of them left the boat, waded through tbe water until
they cama to him—-brought him to the boat in a very
exhausted stale. From him it was learned that five
more ofhis fellow sufierers were on a point of the main
land about two miles south of where he was taken up.
Capt. Plumcr manned the whale boat and put oil in
pursuit of them—found them and tlieii boat; they
had found fresh water this day, of which they made
too free a use, also, oysters. They were also brought
on hoard in a very exhausted condition. Their feel
and hands were frost bitten—some of them very badly.
Every means within th. each nt the boat’s crew and
passengers was used to re-tore md add to the comfort
of -hese unfortunate men. Too much praise cannot
he bestowed upc-ii the Immune exertions of Capt.
Chase, ol the boa I, i.n; C qit. Fiutiii r, of tbe i . S.
Ai my ; a!s t, Mrs G am, the wit.-of Capt, G.av

who rendered to the sufierers very important services
—a lady justly celebrated for her humane disposition,
line accomplishments mid great vivasity ol dispodtiun.
Our Imstt got oil this day anil proceeded on her way to
Cedar Keys. But the most heart sickening and heal t
rending part of the tale remains to he told.
On the 6th inst, the steamer Lamp lighter , Capt.
Woods sailed from Mobile Bay for Cedar Keys, and
Tampa Bay, with a crew consisting of Capt. Woods;
Swilt, mate ; S. F. English, Ist Engineer : Bavids, 2 I
Engineer ; 4 firemen, all Germans; 6 deck hands,
names not known; Ist and 2d cooks and stewards,
names not known; Win. Wiiifil- - -‘-a- - r ~,vl •
The 2d cook was man.
Passengers.— Lt Cost and lady, Mobile ; Mr. Cost
his brother, do ; Mr. Hudson and Indy, liufialo N. Y.
Andrew Dargan, Mobile ; Captain 1.. G. Norton, Apa
lachicola ; and a black girl, about 15 years of age.
The steamer reached Bag Island to the east end of
Apalachicola Bay, oil the 13th. At 9 o’clock, A, M.
she broke her shaft, cast anchors, and waited for assis
tance —none appeared before the next dav, when the
steamer Caroline, from St. Marks, bound for Apalachi
cola with a company of players passed by—they sent
their boat toiler for relief, with Lieut. Cost, his broth
er, ami Win. Wt iilk, the Carpenter. The Captain
and Pilot of tlie Caroline, deemed it unsafe to send
to the to lief of the sufierers then ; the boat row ed to
the St. Marks Light House—procured a schooner,
which, as fast as possible, hastened to the sufierers ;
reached the .-pot on Monday, the 15th, but not a trace
of her was to he found.
On Saturday morning it commenced blowing a gate
from the North, which continued with increased fury
throughout the day. At 12 o’clock at night, it was
discovered that the L-implighter could not survive the
gale many minutes; both boats were immediately
launched; six persons got in one, and three in the
other. The sea was ao violent tint the small boats
could not lie brought near the steamer, and eight of
the persons leaped into the,sea and s.vam to the bouts.
While arrangements weie making to take the rest on
hoard the boat-, tile steamer sunk, amid the cries and
lamentations if ose who sank, in a watery grave, to i
use no more until the last trumpet sounds, and the sea
shall ;.i eup its dead It was with great difficulty the |
persons on board extricated themselves, duiing the luir- !
ry and confusion incident on such occasions, to cut the
fastenings so as to prevent the surd! boats front sink
ing with the steamer. These nine men and the two
boats were left to the mercy of the elements, without
chart,compass, provisions, or water. They were sep
arated, and drove by the winds and the sea to the east- !
ward. Ol the six in one boat, the ste aid and a deck
hand, perished with cold on the Second day ; one in
the morning, and the ot.ier in the evening. Os the
three men in the next bout, the black man perished
with cold the second nighi—the thermometer at US de
gress. On the third day, both the boats met at sea
The two who remained in the smaller, went into the
larger boat, which ran before the wind until We Ines
day morning, when they reached lanJ, went in search
of w ater, hut found none before (he next day, which
was the day we brought them on board, having fasted
from Saturday until Thursday.
The rfamt-s of the six persons saved, and now on
board the James A Jams, arc—Oupt. Woods; Mute,
Thus, D, Swill; Engineer, S. J. English; A. Dick
hand; John Mnares; Capt. Andrew Dargan, of Mo
bile ; Capt. 1,. U. Morton, of do.; and the three gen
tle.uen who w , nt in the li st boat, to look for relief, are
all safe.
