I requested some of the passengers to take her, but all re fused, and the boat, after tying alongside a short time, broke adrift, ihe crew at the same lime attempted to launch the other boats, but they were stove by the sea, which was now breaking fiercely over us, and the ship breaking up very Ism. The only chance now left to save ourselves was by clinging to pieces of the wreck or cotton bales. At four o'clock on the morning of the 27th the whole side fell in, with a large number o» the crew and passengers clinging to it, all ot whom were thrown iuto the sea. The next sea that came carried the forecastle with It, and on which I was standing with several others. After t)cto£ in tiic wnter few minutes I sue* ceeded in getting on ft piece of timber where there were three others. After being washed off of it several times I saw another raft, which I hailed, and found the second mate and steward on it. I swam for and succeeded in getting to it, calling for my companions to ?ollow me, two of whom reached it ia safety, the other going down before he could f et to it. I could see a number arouud us. hailed for the mate ; he answered that he was on a raft, all right. At daylight on the 28th could see two rafts, with men on them, drifting to the northeast. At twelve o’clock could discern the lighthouse on Cap» Look out. At five P. M. saw a boat coming to wards us, which proved . to be the boat that was lost from alongside Ahd Tlad been picked up by four of the crew. After getting into her we succeeded in picking up two passen gers ; cruised arouud the vicinity of the wreck for some time, but could find no others. We started for the beach, but finding it too rough to land, lay by for the night; next morning succeeded iu reaching Cape Lookout where we landed at eight P. M- Dec. 28, after being on the raft and in the boat forty hours. After arriving at the Cape, despatched a boat to Beaufort to get some steamer to go out and cruise. At daylight the steamers Goliati and Corwin went out; the latter shortly after broke dowu and re turned. The Goliah came back in the after- uuou without success.

LOJMr, A PAS9ENGEB. Left Savannah on steamship Constitution, in company with the San Salvador and Leo, on Saturday, December 23, at noon, in fa.;e of a heavy gale from ’the east, which contin ued to increase till towards night, when we nut into Port Royal for harbor, followed by the rest of the fleet. All started again next morning at daybreak, with a light wind from the southwest. Still thick and cloudy, brightening somewhat towards noon, but closing in again. Owing to the condition of our wheel, which seemed to be somewhat out of order, I understood we were not car rying full steam, and we finally lost sight of the tieet. About six o’clock that evening, being In my state room, I was alarmed by it peculiar hissing of steam and by a commo tion among the passengers who were at the supper table. I hastened forward to ascer tain the cause, and found a piece of packing where the main pipe Joins the steam chest had blown out. About three hours were oc cupied in repairing. Got under way about nine o’clock that evening. At six the next morning (Monday) the steampipe again gave out and it was found that nearly hair the flange on the steam chest, where the mam pipe joins it, had been broken square off. Drifted all day Monday while repairs were made Thick and foggy all day, with a very light wind from the southwest, and heavy sea running. Got steam at half-past ten Monday night. Was on deck myself till nearly twelve, and saw the lead cast about that tiqje, though I cannot now state the re- eult- Retired soon after- Was awakened a little after two o’clock by the ship tbumpiog heavily on the bottom- 1 immediately rush ed on deck and found we were in the midst of breakers. Heard the engine stopped and reversed. But a few heavy thumps parted the steampipe entirely, leaving us at the mercy of the waves. The ship continued to thump for some time and drifted around broadside to the shoal, but finally filled and settled down very quietly in her bed. Tuesday morning broke still thick gnd fog gy, but with every appearance of clearing up during the day, and all felt confident that we could get off as soon as the sea went down. Captain Greenman immediately assigned a Competent crew and its complement of pas sengers to each boat, with water and provi sions, and everything was made ready to leave the ship at the first opportunity. About ten or eleven o'clock 1 should judge, the fog lifted to the northward and we descried the lighthouse on Point Lookout, apparently about eight miles off. This continued visiDle by spells during the day, but it still continued thick SUd b.eayy. Rockets and blue lights had been bordfcwffc soon as -we struck, but the fog probably rendered ti^ein invisible at any -About Bobu on Tuesday the sea had fallen, somewhat, and, although the fog was then dense, some thought it as favor able a time as w^ehOold have to launch the host. There was every prospect, however, of the spa falling nod the fog lifting entirely; and a large majority seemed to. consider the ship the safest place. Cqgt^in Qreemnan, however, repeatedly'gavb permission ipr any boat to try it, but the proposition n0, strongly opposed by three sen ®*L among the passengers, no one would ven ture. This, as It afterwards proved, was the time lot the boats to have been launched. But no blame can be attached to Captain they refused to go without him. An attempt was made, however, to launch the boats. But it was too late. All but one were stove, aud that filled alongside, and not a soul would venture in it, till finally it broke away and drifted oft leaving fifty-four helpless beings upon the wreck, which was now go ing to pieces with every sea. At four o’clock on Wednesday morning not a timber waslett standing above water, and fifly-four human beings were struggling in the waves, grasp ing whatever they could to keep themselves afloat. Of this whole number only fourteeu are known to have been saved. These drift ed about—some on rafts, which the.y con- tiived to collect from the! floating debris, and others ou bales of cotton and spars. Two men besides myself seized the top ot the pilot house as it was washed from the ship, on which we drifted till dark the next night, when we were picked up by the rest ot the fourteen, some of whom in drifting about had come across the boat which had broken away, which they contrived to bail out, and hastened to save'those that could be found. But after searching till long after dark Wednesday night and finding no more, and the boat beiug overloaded, we made for land, which we reached at about eight o’clock Thursday evening, at Cape Lookout Light, the only landing place we could find ou ac count of the heavy snrf. Being myself the only passenger saved, I feel it a duty as well as privilege to speak in unqualified terms of the heroic conduct of Captain Greenman. He seemed to have no thought for himself whatever. His only desire seemed to be to save those ahont him. Nor did he leave the ship till the last man and last timber were washed away, and he, too, carried with them; As far as my knowledge extends 1 give it as my belief that every precaution bad been taken by him to prevent any such disaster as would have been deemed neces sary by the must competent judge at half past ten on Monday night, when steam was last got up and the ship put on her course. And I further believe the loss of the ship to have been the result of causes entirely be yond the control of man. CARD FROM THE OFFICEHS AND OKEW OF THE CONSTITDTrON. [To the Editor of the Herald.] We. the uudersigned, officers aud crew late of the steamship Constitution, and saved by a mercitul Providence from a watery grave, desire hereby to give our testimony to the noble and gallant conduct of Captain Wm Greenman. Utterly regardless of self, he re mained to the last, exerting himself to the utmost to save those about him. When urged and implored again and again by his own boat’s crew to go with them,as his remaining could do no possible good, his firm reply was, “I will not leave the ship.’’ Every pos sible precaution was promptly taken ; each boat had its special commander, crew and Dassengers assigned ; but all in vain. The sea rose higher and higher ; boat after boat was siove ; yet unflinching stood the captain pressing further forward as sea after sea washed away his very fooling, till at length, with the last plank and last man, he was himself washed into the surging waves- Be loved by his crew, our confidence in him re mains unshaken, and we declare it to be our firm conviction that no blame can be attach ed to Captain Greepman for the disaster, but that it was the result of causes entirely be yond the control of man.

Lewis, Benjamin Bush and John Wilson, seamen; Peter Murphy and Robert Irwin, firemen. Eleckly, Wm. Hope Hull and Linton Ste phens, but the latter declining to serve was substituted by Hon. Samuel Barnett. The result of their labors is a pamphlet of thirty-nine pages, the title of which is placed at the head of this paragraph. The “system of laws" it developes is divided into fourteen articles, as follows • X, Preliminary Provis ions. 2, Organization of the County Courts. 3, Husband and Wife. 4, Parents aud Child. 5, Guardian and Ward. 6, Master and Ser vant- 7, Master and Apprentice. 8, Con tracts. 9, Wills, Administration aud Distri bution of Estates 10, Penal Labor on Pub lic Works. 11, Offences relative to persons of color and other offences by white persons- 12, Offences by persons of color. 13, Prac tice in the County Court in criminal coses. 14, Licenses Required in certain oases. The enumeration of captions gives an idea of the general features of the system. The first article defines who are “persons ol co lor” aud establishes their; ciyil status—gives them the right of property—to make con tracts—to sue and be sued and to give testi mony, and applies to them all the laws re gulating the domestic relations of whites.

The 10th article authorizes a sys tem of penal labor on the State Rail road and the public roads and bidges in all cases where by law confinement in the Penitentiary is prescribed. The 11th article provides against crimes and mal practices by whites upon colored persons, and the next against offences by persons of color. Article 13th establishes the form of practice before the county court in criminal cases, and the 14lh and last article is intended by a system of licenses, to protect the public against the enormous evils of trading in stolen goods or produce with the colored population; by securing to corporate and county authorities the privilege of saying who shall be licensed traders. It is impossible to give a complete synopsis of tills voluminous code in much leas space than the code itself. It is drawn up very concisely, and is minute in every detail of the whole subject matter, covering every point we can think ot in the various rights and relations established, duties enjoined or punishments inflicted. Everything in the duties and obligations of employer, and the rights, remedies and duties of.the employed seems to have been thought of.

From the New York papers to the 4th inst., inclusive, received by the Tybee yesterday, we take a full account of the shipwreck of the Constitution, which will be read with a painful interest. We give Capt. Greenman s statement qnd that of Mr. Long, a passenger, who praises highly the conduct of the officers and crew of the ill-fated steamer- The steamer De Soto, with Secretary Sew ard and his son on board, passed Fortress Monroe on the 3d. The Secretary of State is supposed to be upon a health excursion. The Legislatures of Maine, Massachusetts, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and New York have assembled aud organized. Governor Fairchild, of Wisconsin, in his inaugural ad dress, urges the execution of Jefferson Davis as a warning against treason, and advises de manding the most stringent conditions from the States lately in insurrection. Judge Hughes, oue of the counsel for Capt. Semmes, made application on the 3d to the Secretary of the Navy to have the day fixed for the trial of the accused. The Secretary of the Navy declioed making the order. The counsel engaged for Semmes are Messrs. Hughes, Denver and Peck, of Washington, and Pendleton Colsteu, E-q., of Boston. Semmes has not yet been removed to the old Capitol, but is confined at the Navy Yard, in a room adjoining the chapel. The room is in the second story of the building, and is very comfortably turnished with bed, .sofa and table, and it is also carpeted. The marines at the yard are charged with his custody. The friends of Capt Semmea are confident i hat be will be acquitted by the court martial before which he is to be tneu. The monthly statement of the Secretary of the Treasury places the public debt on Jan uary 1st at $2,716,581,536 19; the amount of poin in the Treasury at $45,73;>,550 69; cur rency in the Treasury, $44,993,271 11. Edwin Booth, ihe actor, re-appeared on the stage, outhe evening of the 8d. for the first time since the assassination of President Lincoln. His reception was such an ovation as is not bestowed on an actor once m a cen tury. An audience ot three thousand people packed the theatre, from whom, upon the appearance of Booth, burst a deafening snout of welcome, and a long tumult of enthusi asm ensued. Frequent applause followed his personation, and wreaths and bouqqets of flowers were showered upon tne stage. Hisses and groans were given for the JNew Yorl£ HerfiTo, which had attacked him in a dastardly manner a few days before. A meeting of the Fenian Brotherhood waa held in New York op 2d inst.
