•. In common with many State Rights' men, I
had strong objections to Gen. Harrison, under a
belief that ho was not only “ a New Treaty”
man In 1826; but was a decided opponcut of
‘‘the Old-Treaty." Publish, as a favor, the ac.
ifeompanying statement on that subject, from the
pen of Mr. James 8. Calhoun, of Muscogee. Mr.
Calhoun' was formerly a Representative in the
begvdfcture from Baldwin County; and recently
I a Representative, and, I believe, a!«n a

‘‘ AN OLD TREAT* MAN.”
“THE OLD AND NEW TREATIES.”
Verv soon after the publication of the Hon. Bre
EdwardJ. Block’s address to his constituents.
* the course pursued by Gen. Harrison in reference
to the tiro treaties, known and distinguished iu
Georgia as the old and new treaties, became a sub
ject ofpnblic disputation. After a thorough ex
amination of the subject, I stated publicly and
privately to my personal and political friends, that
Gen. Harrison proved himself Georgia’s fast
friend on that occasion,by supporting every prop-
ositton submitted by her representatives in refer
ence to the subject of the treaties. For a time the
auhjcct seemed to have lost a portion of die in-
' terest previously manifested. It has been recent
ly revived in this city, and counter statements
made; and those who' confided in my statements
and repeated them are called upou to show that
Gen. rlarrison is not justly obnoxious to the
charge of being opposed to the old treaty, and in
favor of the neic treaty. It is alike due to my
friends, to truth, to myself, and to the cause in
i/hich we are engaged, that the facts should be
placed fairly and truly before the public.
In reference to the old and new treaties, it is
distinctly affirmed that Gen. Harrison was in fa
vor of tne new treaty, “to the exclusion of the
old treaty,” and the only proof offered in support
of this assumed position so far as I know or be
lieve, is to be found on page 9 of the Hon. Ed*
wgid J. Black’s address where lie has correctly
got forth the action of the Senate on a resolution
■ttlfmitted by Mr. Benton, April 21,1826. If
there had been no other action in relation to the
two treaties than the resolution alluded (o, and
the record of the votes thereon, those who charge
Gen. Harrison with having been in favor of the
neu> treaty, “to the exclusion of the old treaty.”
yvould have evidence to snstain them. For the
purpose of presenting the issue fairly before the
people of Georgia, I make the following extract
Jrom Mr. Black’s address:
The people of Georgia, and particularly the
Stale Rights party, may feel some interest to
know what position Genernl Harrison occupied
In the Senate of the United States iu 1826, when
the old treaty ofthe Indian Springs was supplant
ed in that body by the new treaty of Washing
ton. The contest which ensned between George
Jkf, Troop, who, in behalf of Georgia, contended
for the recognation of the old treaty, and John
Q. Adams, the President who attempted to sus
tain the uew treaty, by which Georgia would
have lost a great portion oilier lands, is yet fresh
inyonr recollections. Out of that contest Troup
brought us with honor and qlory; our rights were
gallantly and wisely maintained; and after a se
vere struggle, the screptilioas treaty of Wash
ington was nullified. Where stood Harrison
when the question between the two treaties came
up in the Senate ? I have the journals -before
me, and I make from them the following extract.
“Friday, April 21, 1826. Mr. Benton submit
ted the following resolution:
.^“Resolved, (Two thirds of the Senators pre-
eentconcurring therein,) That the Senate advise
and consent to the ratification of the treaty be
tween the United States of America and the
Creek nation of Iudians concluded at the city of
Washington, the24th day of January, 1826, togeth
er with the supplementary articles thereto, date-
ed 31st day of March, J829.”
This resolution you perceive ratifies the new
treaty, of course|to the exclusion ofthe old treaty;
and for this resolution William II. Harri
son voted.
The Journal proceeds:
“It (the resolution nbove quoted) was deter
mined in the nfiirtnative, Yeas 30, Nays 7.
“Those who voted in the affirmative, are Bar
ton, Beil, Benton, Boligny, Branch, Chambers,
Chandler, Chase, Clayton, Dickerson, Eaton,
Edwards. Findlay, Harper, HARRISON, Hen-
ducks, Johnson, of Kentucky, Katne, Loyd,
Marks, Mills, Noble, Randolph, Reed, Rowqu,
Sc> unour, Smith, Tazewell, Thornes, Willey,"
Those who voted in the negative, nre Berrien,
Cobh, Havne, King, Macon, White, Williams.”
There is one oilier curious end important fuel,
relative to this matter which I will not now stele.
It doos not, however, relate to, or niter the vote
or position of Genernl Hnrrinon. I shell have the
journals with me in Georgia,* the feet to which I
allude con he then made to appear to the natlsflrc-
tion or dissatisfaction, of euy one who may de
sire to be informed of it.
Where etood the candidate for the Vico Presi
dency when the question between the two treaties
came up in the Senutef That question is not
•sited by Mr. Black. Mr. Johnson belongs to the
port!/.
Can any one rend the foregoing extract with-
out supposing it was Mr. Black’s intention to in
duce hie readers to believe thnt Gen. Harrison
vrns mriivoror the new treaty “to tile exclusion
of the old treaty!"
I now proceed to submit the following facts
gleaned front the Executive JournalNo. 3, which
■will place Gen. Harrison in a proper light before
the people, and rescue hie name from the odium
nought to he fastened upon him in consequence
of his course in reference to tiie old and new
treaties.
Outlie 88thof February, 1825, Mr. Monroe
transmitted to the Soneto of die United Htntej,
the treaty known in Georgia ns the old treaty.
It was . referred to the committee on Indian ef-
fhirs, and Mr. Benton of Uto committee reported
the convention without amendment, poges 418

that tho said treaty was not signed by persons

“ FniOAr, April 21st, 1826.
Pages 531 and 532.—The Senate resumed as
in Committee ofthe Whole, tlvp Treaty with the
Creek Indians, the supplementary article thereto,
with (lie amendments proposed the 4th inst.
The question was put—“ Shall tho first article,
viz: Tho treaty concluded at Indian Springs, on
the 12th day of February. 1825, betwoen Com
missioners on tho part ofthe United 8tates,and
the said Creek Naliou of ludinns, and ratified by
the United States, on the 7th day of March, 1825,
is hereby declared to be null and void, to every
intent and purpose whatsoever, and every right
and claim arising from the same, is hereby can
celled and surrendered—‘slnmi part ofthe treaty.
And it was determined in the affirmative: yeas
30, nnys8. Those who voted in the affirmative,
are Messrs. Barton, Bell, Benton, Bonlegny,
Branch, Chambers, Chandler, Chase, Clayton,
Dickcr*on. Eaton, Edwards, Findlay, Hendricks,
Holmes, Johnson ofKentucky. Johnstonof Louis
iana, Kaue, Knight, Floyd, Marks, Mills, Reid,
Robbins, Rowan, Seymore, Smith, Tazewell,
Thomas and Wiley.
Those who voted in the negative, nre Messrs.
Berrien, Cobh, HARRISON, Kiug, Macon, Pan
Buren, White and Williams."
This was the test question, and the record of
the votes thereon, affords a palpable refutation of
the charge, that Gen. Harrison was in favor ofthe
new tronty “to the exclusion ofthe old treaty."
At the time of the investigation of the two trea
ties in tho Senate of the United Slates, Georgia
was represented in that body by two of her ablest
and most incorruptible statesmen, viz: Thomas
W. Cobb, now no more, and that accomplished
and distinguished son of Georgia, John Mac-
pherson Berrien, of Savannah, to whom I would
respectfully appeal for the purpose of sustaining
or correcting the conclusion to which I have ar-
rived.
I ask ofthe reader a careful pernsnl ofthe ques-
lion put. and then note who voted to sustain
Georgia's interests and rights. Not Mr. Benton,
nor the candidate ofthe party for the Vice-Pres
idency, Richard M. Johuson, of Kentucky. On
that occasion, Ilarrisou and Von Buren both sus
tained our cause.
Immediately after this vole was taken, Mr.
Benton submitted the resolution as published in
the address of the Hon. Edward J. Black to his
constituents. Before the final vote was taken,
and on the same day, Mr. White offered a proviso,
containing stipulations iu favor of the friends of
Gen. McIntosh, p. 532. On the question to’a-
gree thereto, it was determined in the negative,
yeas 9, nays 25. Berrien, Cobb and Harrison
with tho yeas, and Benton and Johnson voting
nay. Van Buren out. Then came the question
to agree to Mr. Benton’s resolution, and resulted
as given by Mr. Black. It will be perceived by
reference to that vote, that Mr. Vun Buren teas
still out!
I have attempted to place fairly before the peo
ple the material facts as they transpired. Look
ing to these facts, it must be evident to the uu

THE LATE ELECTION*,
The Georgian orFrlday last, attempt* to jiisti-
iy the act of bringing tho sick in Hospital to the
polls, by saying thoro is no reason why a man
who is poor and receives the beueflta ofthe Hos
pital should not be allowed to vote.
To this we say, let all men rich end poor have
free access* to tho ballot box, but wo protest
against the practice offending a conch ftill of sick
and feeble invalids to tho polls. Wo ore Inform
ed tlmt the physician and stoward were both con-
corned in tills business. Certain it is tlmt men
too sick to be discharged from (ho hospital as cur.
od are not iu a fit situation to stem Uto tide whicb
circulates about the ballot box. Tlioy ought not
to bo ordered from their buds or from tho ward
room UU they are discharged, end in our view it
ia highly reprehensible to make the hospital on
electioneering hobby. Wo hope tlmt when tho
President nnd Managers return to the city, they
will inquire into this unfueling practice, and adopt
measures to provent its recurrence.
iugt
prejudiced reader, that the only extract furnished
by the Hou. Edward J. Black in his a<jdress to
his consUtuents in relation to the old and new
treaties, was calculated to produce erroneous im
pressions and to excite the prejudices of a por
tion of the People of Georgia against an honest
citizen of the country, who lias been selected as
the opponent of Mr. Van Buren in ttye approach
ing Presidential election.
The system of garbling, as pursued by blind
and selfish partisan*, cannot be too severely con
demned. I will not trouble you with an enutner-
atinn of evils resulting from such a course. I
will only add, that facts should at all times bo
placed before the people in such form as will
make truth appareut, and at the same time act as
a shield in protecting the fairfame of honest men
against the mischievous efforts of designing poli
ticians.
Lot Gen. Harrison be judged by his acts, and
bis friends have nothing to fear.
Respectfully,
JAMES S. CALHOUN
Let the Laboring Community read this.—A cor
respondent ofthe Cincinnati Gazette, thus refers
to a speech made by Duncan of Ohio at Fulton
in tlmt State.
“Dr, Duncan said, in a speech atFnton, night

tained in tliisconntry as formerly—that the manu
facturers could not le protected so as to compete
with foreign manufacturers, until the streets of our
country are filled with paupers, and the wages of la
bor reduced to 6$ or 12£ cents a day! and tlmt nil tax

Northern men with Southern Principles
—The experiment made by Mr. Van Buren, for
it merits no other name, of catching southern
votes by declaring himself to be a “nothcro man
with southern principles” has, as far os relates to
the Virginia election Inst spring, and the recent
elections in North Carolina and Alabama,
worked injuriously to his interests. It was a pro
minent card whicb he intended to piny with skill,
well aware of the sensitive feelings of the south
on the subject of abolition. His failure iu the
south arises from several causes, and there is no
difficulty iu showing that, on this subj^tthe
south is noting consistently and with great$Hmot-
ism. He who declares himself false to the north
for the purpose of entrapping southern votes, has
no right to complain if nigh minded men of the
south refuse to confide in the strange nnd dis
creditable doctrine offidelity to one section ofthe
Union, and falsehood to the other.
Again the very leaders of the abolitionists in
this State are the friends of Mr. Van Buren, and
their Into convention was for the purpose of .neu
tralizing the whig votes. Oneida the princi-
pal abolition county of this State, is claimed for
Mr. Van Byren by a large majority. We have
a letter from Ohio, from an authentic source, hy
which it oppears that Mr. Senator Morris, the do-
cided friend of Mr. Van Buren, look un active and
leading part in the deliberations of the abolition
conveution.—N. Y. Star.
TIPPECANOE CLUB, NO. 1.
The members of Tippecanoe Clubs Nos. 1,2,
3 and 4, are requested to attend at the Cabin of
Club No. 1, THIS EVENING, at 8 o’clock, on
business of importance.
The Ladies, and all friendly to the cause of
Harrison, Tyler and Reform, are invited to at-
tend.
KFThe following from the National Intelligen
cer is perfectly astounding. The Whigs of this
quarter ofthe Union should be on the look ont
for all sorts of trickery and deception. This is
not the first time that we have seen intimations of
some secroV'gunpotcderplot." Some Van Buren
presses in the North have stated boldly tlat some
frightful results were to be apprehended if Gen.
Harrison were elected—others have held out
the idea that the Government could uot go forward
uulessVAN Buren and his parasites were re-elcc-
ted. We shall see. In Die mean tinje there are
few things to which the present party will not re
sort in order to snstain their sinking power.
LOOK OUT WHIGS, EVERY WHERE!
Thero is something really alarming in the tone
ofthe subjoined article, which we copy from the
Newark Daily Advertiser (a highly respectable
print) ofMonday last. This is not the only inti
mation we have had that some grand schemo is in
agitation among the office-holders to unable them
by force or fraud to hold on to the power they
have made so ill a use of.
To the Editor ofthe Newark Daily Advertiser:
A loiter has accidentally come into my pos
session which discloses a desperate and deep-laid
scheme to defeat the election of General Harri
son ;and, if carried nut, will convulse this Gov
ernment to its very centre, aud perhaps result iu
anarchy and blnoa.
The Post Office is the engine—Amos Kendall
the instrument to effect it. The first step is al
ready taken, by ordering every channel or com
municating information to the People to be closed
except through bis hands and those engaged in
the conspiracy. A startling report, such as the
death of Gen. Harrison,may be circulated through
out Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York, just on
the eve of the election, and every Whig paper
■contradicting it bo suppressed.
This scheme accounts for their confidence in
the success of Mr. Van Buren, notwithstanding
their overwhelming defeat in almost every State
in which there has been an election. This ac
counts for the extraordinary declaration of a lead
ing Administration man recently in the city of
New York, that. 11 Van Buren hud a card yet to
play which none of his friends suspected.
You may depend upon it they are playing a
desperate game ; they make no calculation for a
retreat; they have inscribed upon their banners
‘rule or ruin.’ Let e\ ery Whig press through
out th2 Union sound the alarm. Warn the
whole country against this daring conspira
cy. They have certificate makers and affidavit
makers in readiness, and with such a bold, talen
ted, nnd reckless person as Amos Kendall at their
head, we may well tremble for the liberties of
our country.
I am no alarmist. I have ever relied with con
fidence upon tho intelligence, integrity, and pa
triotism ofthe people ofthis country. 'But when
we see the highest functionaries of our Govern
ment conniving with public plunderers—when
we see the Representatives of o sovereign State,
bolding in their hands credentials clothed with all
the solemn sanctions of law, kicked put of Con
gress for the express purpose of consummating a
conspiracy between Mr. Van Buren and John C.
Calhoun; and finally, when we see every prom
inent leading measure of Mr. Van Buren point
ing to one single object, the concentration of all
power in his bands, there is just cause of alarm.
I would suggest tho propriety of recommend
ing the Whigs throughout the country to be pre
pared. if necessary, to establish expresses in eve
ry State in the Union. Let every mail be watch
ed until the election, and as soon as they nre sat
isfied that the game is commenced, let riders be
mounted, and sent in every direction.

TIPPECANOE CLUB, NO. 2
This Club held its regular woekly meeting on
Monday evening at the Cabin, and was as usual,
fully attended—the President Jos. F. Segur, be
ing in die chair.
Our respected fellow-citizen General Dawson
of Richmond County, was introduced to the Club
by Judge Law, and upon being called on by the
meeting, briefly gave on account of our still
brightening prospects in the interior ofthe State.
He stated that in cortain counties whore we have
been accustomed to defeat, victory now awaits
ns, and called on the Whigs of old Chatham not
to be outdone in the glorious work of Reforma
tion. Mr. Bartow responded to the call of the
Club, nnd drew forth loud bursts of applauso by
the brilliancy oft his never failing eloquence.—
Mojor W. P. White in a strain of withering re
proach, held up to die just indignation of every
Patriot,die foul calumniators ofthe gallantFarm-
er of North Bend. Judge Law having been call
ed on, addressed the Club. The calm and digni
fied oratory of this truly great aud good man,
never fails to reach botli the head and heart 6fev
ery lover of his country. When we say Judge
Law spoke, we say enough. After he had con
cluded, the meedng adjourned.
This meeting was characterized by the great
est enthusiasm, thus proving that no obstacle
which our opponents can place before ns, can
ever impede the onward march of Truth, the
great cause for which we battle.
KFThe following letter has been handed to us,

Exploring Expkditjon.—Tho latest account
from the exploring expedition is dated Sidney,
April 2d. Tho Peacock was lying ftf anchor there;
the rest ofthe squadron were on a surveying ex-

Sidnay Herald, in its notice of the antarctic dis
covery, was inaccurate as to the latitude in which
land was first seen. It should have oeen 66 de
grees 30 minutes south, instead of61 degrees 20
minutes, as the Herald had it. The officers and
cre\v ofthe Peacock were all well. The Vincen
nes, Porpoise, and Flying Fish, had left New
Zealand on a surveying expedition to the Fejee
Islands. The tender, Sea Gull, was given up ns
certainly lost, the last account of her being in
May, 1839. The Sandwich Islands and North
West Coast were the destination ofthe squadron.
EPTbe following ia worthy of attention. Such
is the course of a Government which has been
railing against the Banks for years past. The
whole policy of this hard money administration
has been one of impudent and daring deception,
and here iqa piece of their conduct just as wise,
just as prudent, just as consistent as their other
measures. It is ail humbug and nothing but
humbug:

It has been ascertained that the United Slates
Treasury ia indebted to the Bank or America
nearlv three millions of dollars on Treasurytrtotes,
which had been negotiated thero “to raise the

states that the Rail Road Bridge over the North

Maine.—The election in Maine took place
last Monday. The majority of Gov. Fairfield last
year, was 5963; in 1838, about 3500; in 1837,
Edward Kent, (Whig) was elected by 542 votes
over Parks, (V. B.) At (he Presidential election
in 1836, tho Van Buren majority was 7751. In
1834, Dunlop, (Adm.) was elected by 4391 ma
jority over Sprague, (Whig.) The result this
year is considered doubtful.
EFThe Petersburg Intelligencer gives tho fol
lowing pleasing intelligence of the prosperous
condition of that town: “ Within ayenr, a splen
did Exchange has been completed, the Mechanics’
Hall, a beautiful structure, has been finished, a
new Court House has risen up in beautiful pro
portions, three handsome Churches have been
commenced, and a great number of private build
ings have been built. Tho population of the
town, which was only 800 in 1830, is now sup*
-posed to be about 5000.”
“Stripeson the Bare Back.”—After the
Washington Globe and tho Albany Argus have
exhausted their ingenuity in fiilvehood relative to
the laws approved by General Harrison, as Gov
ernor oflndiana, they lmd belter read the sub
joined paragraph from the Detroit Daily Adver
tiser.
JOHN McDONALD, Collector ofthe Reve
nues in this city, while n member of the Legis
lative Council of this State, introduced a reso-
lution, winch was passed into a law, providing
that persons guilty of certain potty offences
should be beaten, witli TWENTY STRIPES
UPON THE BARE BACK! This law was
passed by alocofoco Legislature, ond signed by
I Lewis Cass, locofoco Minister to France. ’
hnd left beyroot, ond tho Paslm’s lorces were
expected soon to return to Alexandria.
The King of Naples had published a, decree,
announcing tho conclusion of all difficulties with
England, in relation to the Sulphur question.
France.—The London Times of the 0th of
August, says:—“The latest information which
has reached us from tho most trustworthy qtfnr-
lers in Paris, is of n nature to strengthen our
hopes of an amicable arrangement of tho affairs
ofthe east. The orders which have Kaon trans
mitted to the French fleet, are understood to be
by no means of an aggressive character. The
army, though considerably increased, will not be
put on tho Tull war establishment, and the gov
ernment seem thoroughly disposed' to show os
much discretion os energy.
It is pretty obvious thnt the strong feeling
which suddenly pervaded tho French communi
ty, impelling with equal vehemence the populace,
the pacific middle classes, ond the highest ranks,
forced upon the King and the government tho
adoption of a bold attitude towards England. So
far compliance with the hasty irnpul e of tliepeo-
plo was perhaps essential to the security of the
throne, but it is no less esscutial to Frauce nnd to
every other country, that wenponsofsuch weight
nnd edge should be handled with very great cau
tion.
The solution ofthe question lies no longer in
Parish or London; ond the parties an either side
must be content to wait, though certainly not
without great anxiety, the arrivul of intelligence
from Alexandria. The nature ofM.de Wulews-
ki’s mission to the Pacha had not transpired, but
the selection of tlmt individual for so important a
service has excited the more attention from his
natural hostility to Russia; and in choosing a
Polish agent, however illustrious his origin in
other respects, M. Theirs is thought to have giv
en an additional proof oHm nnti Russian deter
minations. The decision of the Pacha will of
course be influenced if not determined, hy tho
hopes he may entertain of having France on
his side. But whatever may be the polity of
France in the event ofasettlcment of the ques
tion by force, we may presume that she will not
support or encourage the claims of the vassal,
whicb she has herself proposed to circumscribe
aud coutrol, against the rights of the Forte, whieh
she has pledged herself to maintain.”
While the affair thus remains in abeyance how
ever, France appears to bo vigorously preparing
for war. The London Times of the 5th, con-
taines the following.
The papers beforo us, and our private letters
acquaint us that, in addition, and as necessary ac
companiments, camp furniture ond hospital mag
azines ou a most extensive scale, has been order
ed. The Minister ofwar announced, on Satur
day, to the Committee of Artillery, that a sum of
6,000,OOOf. (£24,000) was employed in the pur
chase of horses and material fur that department.
“Already .in the course ofthe day,” says La Pres-
se, “saddlery to the amount ofl,700,OOOf. (£68,
000)wns ordered.
General (uotthe Marshall) Gudinot is niention<
ed as destined to have an important command,
nrising out of existing circumstances. In the na
vy, very extensive promotions and nominations,
and, it is also added, superanuatioiu are immedi-
to take place.
All the offensive statements of theraostrancor
ous portion of the French press (we mean the
legitimalist journals) are copied into the minister
ial and junto-milieu papers. They recapitulate
the navhl force of France already at sen in the
Mediterranean (13 sail of the line, of which 3
aro first rates, aud may be forthwith increased to
25 sail oftlio line), and contend that by dividing
the superbly disciplined crews of that fleet,
“which the English themselves confess are
tho finest in the world,” with the new levies,
they will form a perfectly efficient and adequate
body of seamen.
Tho rancor and animosity oftho Paris Press
are, however, benevolence and amity when com
pared with tho feelings expressed by the provin
cial papers. Those of Bordeaux are in an espe-
cinl manner distinguished hy this course.
The utmost possible anxiety prevailed in Paris
for the arrivals from London, Berlin, Vienna, and
St Petersburgh with intelligence ofthe manner
in which the now attitude of France should have
been received in those capitals respectively.
This feeling, added to the carrying out ofthe hos
tile preparatory system ofM. Thiers above re
ferred to, produced at Tortini’s, on Sunday, a
new full in the funds. The three per cents op
ened at 81fJJ0c. fell to 80f. 80c nnd were at
8Jf. when our correspondent closed his letter.
A Private letter, duted Vicuna, 22d, In the
“Universal Gazette de*Leipsic,” states that it wns
believed in the best informed circles, thnt n secret
treaty existed between Mehemet Ali and France.
“The fact likewise of an understanding between
Marshal Mnrmont and M. Thiers is confirmed,”
says that paper, and it is understood that tho mar
shal is to be appointed governor of Algeria.”
Distressing Shipwreck.—One of the most mel
ancholy and heart-ronding shipwrecks occurred
yesterday, which has ever fullen under our no
tice. The Lord William fientick, Captain Ord,
with one hundred and fifty troops and passengers
on board, had been beating oft tho mouth of the
harbor for the last two or three days, hut was pre
vented entering by the violence ofthe weather.
Yesterday afternoon she was seen standing across
the opening of Back Bay in gallant style, und ev
ery hope was entertained, if she could stand on
five minutes longer, of her wenthering the S. W.
prong ofthe light-house. Unhappily, an immense
sea forged over, nnd pooped her, and she struck
heavily on tho rocks nt ten minutes past 4, P. M.
Previously, «Capt. Ilnyman had fired two guns
from the light-house, to-wnrn her of her danger,
and before a third gun could, bo discharged, she
was on tho ropks. Heavy squalls of wind and
rain soon drove her masts over her side, and a
quarter of an hour after the commencement of
the occurrence, she was a complete unmanagea
ble wreck. The crew and passengers were seen
to crowd forward to tho forecastle. Throe ladies
were on board, Mrs. Fraser, Mrs. Eckford, and
Miss Robertson, also a maid servant, and some
soldiers’ wives and children. Capt. C. Benbow
was in commnnd of the troops, and Dr. Fraser,
Mr. Masou, (a cadet) and sevoral other passen
gers, whose names wo nre not able to learn, wore
on board. She kept firing gnus and showing the
signnls of distress, but, olus! little aid eoiiid be
afforded. The surf was too violent for a boat to
three the vossol finally went to piccos. h jte
er raft hud been prepared, on which the lidicT L
•even children, and the passengers were placed I
Hopes however, fuint, wero breathed that .hi I
miglit bring her precious cargo safe to land, but I
ulas! a lofty wave struck her, aud when she ton-1
from the shook neither the Indies, children, nor 16*1
or their comrades could be descried bv the sur-1
yivors. Those who remained reached land na.J
ked, cold, and shivering. 1 Captain Benbow, Dr.. I
r rusor, und Mr. Monaou were among the survh-l
vors, also two officers ofthe vessel. I
The captain nnd his son were reported drown-1
ed, but as yet no accurate information on these I
points can be collected. Another raft with 17 men I
on it was carried into Back Bay, nnd getting en-1
tangled among the rock9 remained until morning, I
and 15 oI*them (two having died during the night) £
wore saved by the exertions of Captain Saunders. I
But, as if misfortunes were never to come single I
the Caetlerengh, Captain Tonks, from Lanack' I
witli 159 troops on board, about twelve o'clock it I
night, baVing, as it is said, seen the lights in the I
wreck, and mistaking her for a vessel at anchor,
bore up. and nlso went onshore within a f<«
yards distance of the other wreck. This wot-
ning before daylight, ns uctive means as could k
taken (considering the paucity of boats nnd won)
were set on foot to bring off the crew and ptuseo*
gers.and tho same parties still exerted themseivei, [
and by 10 A.M.about 150sepoys of the 24th tuuiu I
Infuntry were got on shore; four were unfortun. I
utoly drowned in the surfgetling out ofthe boats,
nnd Capt. Saunders, with one European seaman 1
belonging to the Clive, who tried to swim from I
a part ofthe wreck ofthe Lord William Bentick I
but wns lost in the attempt. The Castlereagh I
had commenced cutting away her masts, and this I
afternoon it is hoped thut every soul on board will I
be safely landed. I
Tho officers in her ore Capt. Earle,24th Regt.; I
Ensign Grant, 1st Europeun Rest.; Lieut. Walk-1
er, Engineers; ond Dr. Davis. The Costleieagli, I
as vvus reported by a “Seacunnie,” who cameos
shore, had lost her rudder, and was full of water,
but as yet did not pump much, but we fear she
will be a total wreck. At the time we left the
snot exertions were still being made to reach her.
We believe, though of course can only guess
from a rough calculation, that from 50 to 70 per
sons have Seen saved from the Lord William [
Bentick out of between 200 and 300 souk. We L
have every confidence under Providence that I
those on board the Castlereagh will all be saved. V
In addition to whut we reported in* our yes-1
terday’s extra, we are deoply grieved to have to 1
announce the catalogue of human puffer ing and I
woe had not reached its climax. Yesterday, at I
3 P.M. about obb tide,Casl!eroagb went to pieces, V
and the crew and passengers were seen drifting V
on shore on pieces ofthe wreck. In attenptin, 1
to save them, Mr. Atkinson, 2d master attends
nearly Inst bis life, his bont being npRet. Capt
M’Gregor (late of tho Hannah), Mr. Webster,
ofthe. American press, and some others, at con
siderable ner.suual risk, picked up the command- I
er, Capt. Tonks, clinging to a small plank.and is I
a sinking state. Out of nearly two hundred nouli, r
it is feared that not more than seventy nre saved. I
Ensign Grant, one ofthe passengers, wns a som I
vor, out ofthe rest we have no certain accounts. |
