from heat and thorn*, succeeded in reaching the
head of the Big Wichita, and subsequently the
head of the Brazos. Dr. fthumard says :
The Wichita river takes its orgiu in a system of
high bluffs, (the borders of the Llano Estacado,)
which, at the head of the river, from a regular

luaainuch «« nt tho present time there exists
quite an outcry against some of the railroad, en
terprises of the day, wo copy the following from i
lalo number of tho t incinnati Railroad Record,
with tho object ol allowing the in Hu once of rail
ways, am! tho increase ot capital rad tho facilities
of Commerce:
Railway investments in Ohio $50,000,000
Market value 85,000,000
Increased value of lands 51,000,000
Annual gain in transportation $7,000,000,
which is interest on 100,000,0u0
Annual gain in interest $1,i,),000,
which is interest on 15,000,000
Aggregate value $201,000,000
Deduct ti e original coat, and wo hove a clear
gain of capital to tho extent ot ouo hundred and
fifty one millions ot dollars. Mr. Mansfield, the
editor, thus comments:
Try this estimate by any other test that can bo
applied, and if it will ho found to he within limits.
Take, for example, the valuation °1 the State In
three years throe hundred millions have been
added to the assessments of tho State, and the as
sessments uro under velimdou. Take Cincinnati

is constantly diminishing, and her rates of interest
are enormous. What has sustained her? But
for tho extension of I trade through tho intorior
by railways, the tyrruuy of legislation, and tho
eqauJly b i ! municip -I muiwigomdpt, would almost
imve crushed her. The vu 4ly enlarged facilities
for trade, and also of manufactures, nave born her
triumphant through tho conflict. Whence, then
originates the absurd idea, that railways have
absorbed commercial capital? Railways alone
have saved the commercial community from bank
ruptcy. Whence, thou, comes this cry ? This is
it—Railways us well us increased currency have
Immensely inert'd odtho business of the country,

De.it oi a l-ri&ter.
Auoxg tiie matiy who have lalieu victims to ti.e I
ravages of the pestilence in thU city, there is none,
with whom wo r, ere not personally aeqoainttd, ■
who commanded more of our sympathies than
William 6. Kellogg, a competitor in onr office,
; who breathed his last on Friday alternocn, t:\cr a
protracted and severe attack of Yellow Fetor,
aged about twenty-seven years. We learn from
' his friends, to whom Le was much attached, tfcai
1 he was a native of Now-Yorb, where he served bis
| apprenticeship in the office of the Courier & F.o
--| qinrer. after which he served a term in the Navy
on board tho U. S. ship Ohio. He canto from Sa
vannah to this city in June last, since which time
he baß been engaged in this office, where he per
formed his duties as became a most worthy raem
b:r of the “ craft;'' and in hie intercourse with
his fellow-men, his bearing was ever honorable
and gentlemanly.
When the pestilence made its appearance among
us, he was among the few of all our compositors
who volunteered to remain and aid us in our ef
forts to publish our paper—hence the d ep sym
pathy we felt for him and our great solicitude for
his re . every. To hie absent friends aud relatives,
none of whom could be present to minis‘e-r to his
wants or sootho his dying pillow, it affords ns
melancholy pleasure to say, he did not suffer for
medical or other attention; and when the monster
claimed him as his victim, tho last sad offices were
properly paid by hie friends.
Health of tha City.
The last few warm days have had an unfavora
ble influence upon the health of the city, and there
has been a marked increase of new cases since the
change. It is however true, that generally they are
of a very mild character, andyield readily to prompt
treatment. There are those however who will not
act promptly whon attacked or prudently after it,
and they fall victims to their temerity. There are
comparatively few deaths now, that cannot be
traced to one of these causes.
Among tho new cases in tho last forty-eight
hour.-, wo regret to notice three physicians: Dra.
Bossionol, F. Caktei:, and A. F. Bio.mon. Dr.
Deaking, we are glad to learn, is recovering. The
same may be said of Mayor Koblutson.
feince tho foregoing was in type wo have had an
interview with some of the Physicians who express
the opinion . . 1 -.hcc-sos now occuring arc gen
erally ofa moro v'rulcnt character than for some
time past.
Absentees should keep away by all moans.
It will bo seen, by reference to the report of the
Board of Health, that only two deaths have occur
od in LLe ast 48 hours from yellow fever. As there
was no death on Saturday, it ia therefore only two
deaths it tho last three days. This would seem to
I ndicato a very favorable state of things, were it not
for tho number of now cases reported. These
leave no doubt that the disease has been on the
increase for tho last several days, during which
tho weather has been very unfavorable.
The following is tho total number of interments
in the city frr the week ending Monday, 3 P. M.:
Joseph A. Kearns, 35 yearn, Irola id.
Charles T. Kuivcrson, 20 years, Ncw-York.
Richard Devine, 85 years, Ireland.
Martin Loft us, 8S years, Ireland.
Mary aged 40 years, Ireland.
George Daiam, aged 40 years, Germany.
"W. 8. Kellogg, Printer, egad 27 years, New York.
David Colvin, 25 years, South Carolina.
Peter Nicolai, 21 years, Germany.
Negro child, aged 13 months, proporty of J. S.
Clark.
Tho following resolution was passed by the
Board :
Resolved, That tho Board of Health earnestly re
peat the request that those persons now absent
>c requested not to return to tho city, inasmuch
as there is no amelioration in the epiaemic, and
several who have returned prematurely have been
seized with tho disease.
Health of bavauuali.
Wednesday, October 11, 9 p. m.— Tho Board of
Health report five deaths for tho past 24 hours, lour
of Yellow Fever.
Tho Beard adopted the following resolutions at
their meeting Wednesday:
v\ horeaa, The gratifying improvement in tho
Health Reports, for the week ending yeste ,
may t«md to encourage thoso of our follow-citizens
who are, and for some time past have been, absent
from the city, to come homo at an earlier day than
prudence will allow; whereby, in the opinion of
this Board, many valuable lives would be put in
jeopardy, and in all probability sacrificed: There
fore
That such citizens bo i spoctfully and
earnestly requested, to remain away from tho city
yet a little longer, until they shall be informed
officially that its health is sufficiently re-established
to warrant their return.
Resolved further , That the Chairman of this
Board be instructed to give public notice of the
fact to absent citizens of Savannah, at the earliest
period, consistent with their safe roturu home.
Health of HavauDah.
Thursday, Oct. 12, 9 p. m.—The Board of Health
report throo deaths for the past 24 hours, all of
Yellow Fever.
We find in the Republican of yestorday (Satur
day) morning tho folio win# notioos in relation, to
the departure of the representatives of the “ Hoio■
ard Association” of New Orleans, and tho “Can't
Get Away Club,” of Mobile:
Public Notice.— As our friends from Mobile and
New Orleans are now about to loavo us, the citizens
of Savannah are respectfully requested to meet
thorn at the Exchange Long Room on Saturday
Morning, nt 10 o’clock.
John E. Ward, Mayor.
The “Can’t Get A ways” or Mouile and the
“Howards” or New Orleans. —Wo hope that tho
meeting, called by His Honor for to-day, will bo
well attended, that our friends from the:-<G cities
will have an earnest of the deep sense of gratitude
felt by our poople—our absentees as well as those
of us who were left to witness tho work of the
pestilence and thoir mastery over its tearful rava
ges. While money has bean showered upon us,
and tho cornucopia of plenty poured forth from
its abundance, directod by tho four winds of hea
ven. the aid from our fair sister cities of the west
has been far transcending in benevclouco; for the
lives ot thoir valuable citizens, lnr more precious
than gold, wero risked that, health might bo re
stored to our own people who wore fallir-g victims
to tho Destroyer—crippled as wo were by the in
roads that death and disease were making »i our
own Faculty. They have performed well their
mission ot mercy, and are about to return to their
own firesides, where we trust a kind Providence
will smile upon and grant its choicest blessings,
and upon the c ■mmunitios they represent.
Messrs. Higloy, Turner, and Do Wo)lf, promi
nent citizens of Mobile, magnanimously volunteer
ed their services, and accompanied tho dopu ution
to this city, and to whoso assiduous labors in as
sisting the physicians at tho Infirmary, much is
ciring for the success there met with. Tho con
duct of Mrs. Rolls and Jane Ryley, nurses, is also
deserving of notice—iu fact, no discrimination
would bo just, where all had done so well.
The meeting will take place at the Exchange at
10 o’clock this morning, when wc hope thu ! . all
who con, will attend.

claim to be Ai.il SI- -:y moo, a::d to pursue th*
course best calcu - od t :• j xclude Slavery frernou
Territories. and to weaken tho position of th
Souihern State-*. Ad a f. ecimcu of their poei
tioLs, w give an editorial from the Detroit Frc
Cress, supposed to be General Cass’s organ:
4 We cannot doubt tho Detroit Tribun
speaks by authority, when it announces, as it di i '
on Tuesday, that Mr William A. Howard is in fa
vor of repealing the Nebraska Act. The Tribune
is Mr. Howard’s peculiar organ,and it would hard
ly make so material a statement, without tb
knowledge and consent of the person most inter
ested.
Lot it be known, then, that Mr. no ward is in
favor of repealing the Nebraska act. Let it b
known that .ho is in fav r of re establishing a lin-_
south of which slavery was and would continue h
be legalized by Congress. Lot it be known th 1
ho is in favor of despoiling the thousand of settle p
in Nt brasku and Kansas of their rights acquir* 1
under tLo present law.
Wo thank the Tribune for its announcemei
We now know wbero Mr. Howard stands. V
can now drive the rail through him and clinch
on tho other fide. Ho is in favor of tho old odio
Missouri Compromise line—a line which tho an
slavery people <fi * Mrth kite c>ndemned from t •
oy of its m tab triune? t t.p ic tho lime Mr. Dixon cl
Kentucky proposed i •ro -a. t. He is in faoor —
for that we.dd bo the inevitable effect of ro cslab
li.ridngUio I :—of t •. ; ;ii:g ali the Louisiana
territory lyivp south '•.* S 6 dvg l 1 to slavery ; at.d
thi * territory is oxteinivc enough for half dozen
Stu’.ee!
Mr. Howard mu ‘ stand up to the naked decla
ration that he i - • luv- rof repealing tho Nebraska
act. When th; Nebraska a-t is repealed tho Mis
souri lino will bo rein- Acd, and ‘slavery will bo
legadzod south of it 1
* Mr. Stnari. i i opposed to the repeal of the Ne
braska act. Ho <V- not believe that Congress has
power to e. '■ • h slavery in the Territories, nor
of < -iursc, to t hibit it. The whole question be
longs to the ,»! ' .'.jy and With them tho Nebraska
act places it.”
Wo notice, cor.tomes tho Mercury, the peculiar
point ofthic- article, because it is the favorite ar
gument even of Senat' r Douglas. By the way, it
is not true, t r et thore is any such extent of terri
tory as i > !>• ■ * ropri seated, lying south or 86 deg.
30m.. ai d belonging to tho Louisiana purchase.
There is no territory at all, south % of that lino, that
is open to eok zalion. The whole it has been
specifically ass’gued to tho Indian tribes, and bo
longn to them as much aslSouth Carolina belongs
to the Sout h Garolinians; and so far from being
sufficient to form six States, tho wholo of it is lit
t;-.*, if any, lav ; ,er than tho single State of Missouri.
To magnify this territory, and to represent it as
open to white settlement, and therefore as laid
open to Northern colonisation by the Nebraska
Act, is all more political gammon. It is for the
purpose of bothering tho public mind ; not of en
lightening it.
But tho point is this : that by the Missouri Com
promise, the terri’ory south of 86° 30', was secur
ed to the South; tnat slavory was legalized by
Congress in that region. This iq all wrong. The
Missouri Compromise, so called was nothing but a
prohibition of slavery north of that line. It neither
pretended to legalize, nor did it allude to tho exis
tence ot slavery south of tho lino. Tho South
never claimed ibr ff eugreus th<. power to logalizo
tho c xisience of slavery. They denied that power,
equally with the power to prohioit it. The one
necessarily goes with tho other. Slavery is an ex
isting fact, undoi tho Constitution of the United
States, recognised by it as one of the elements of
our system, and that rightfully claims its place
wherever tho people desire it, and where it is
prohibited by State authority. Congress havo
nothing to d > wff l it, except to protect wherever
It is not prohibited by State authority. This is
tho position of the Sruth on tho question cf Con
gressional power over slavery.
Undoubtedly the Nebraska Act falls ahoit of
sustaining this position, and we have never pro
tonded otherwise. But it is bettor than that pro
hibi ion of sluvery, that is known by the name of
tho Missouri Compromise.
Rev. Dr. Deems.—Wo learn from the New Or

wielding a nu.ral influence,” and lio says “tho
election of Dr. Deems gives largo and general sat
isfaction.”
'I he new opera house in Now York is a failure.
It Uso constructed, • ays the Post, that if you sit in

seo anything of the stage—it is folly to suppose
that tho architect c ntrived them for any such

a ,: for sitting iu hem, that’s quite another matter.
They were not and they never A-ill bo occupied,
so long as tho building continues in its present

Never before was an opera house opened more
inauspicious!}*. There were whole banks of va

should huvo been six or *ovon hundred auditors,
there wore only thirty or forty. The lower circles
to! i the same talc of vacancy, and the amphi
theatre was the only portion of tho house which
as well filled. These fa ,ts pointed to bank
ruptcy, and the managers suddently reduced the
scale of prices. Tho prices of admission last even
ing ranged from fifty cents to three dollars, the
scale being adapted to tho length of overy purse.
Still the house was not full; it bad a top-heavy
appearance, the mass f the auditors swarming
high np in tho an.puitkoa’ro; the rr-rquette and
boxes wore üb.v: ha f f 1; t.ie second tier, where
tho charge was one dollar, beirg very woli filled.

tiremea, throe of the other passengers saved and
myself, wre busily ongaged in lashiug water casks
•tnd settee? to the main yurt!, two topgallant yards,
and several smaller spars—the captain with a num
ber of gentlemen, protecting ihe'wcrk by keeping
buck the crowd —when a panic seized all on board,
a rush waa made, passengers and firemen precipi
tated thomtelvcp headlong over the bulwarks on to
.lie rail, and in a moment oar little boat was fall
and in imminent danger of being sunk. In this
emergency. Dorian ordered the rope which held
as to the steamer to he cut, and with our hands
and axes wo paddled from the raft’s side. The
mats who throughout preserved groat presence of
mind : nd labored with heroic energy, cried cut —
“For God’s sake, cap'ain, clour the raft, so that
we can work. 1 won’t desert thoship while there’s
r. timber above water.”
Bat the9*3 was now flush with the dead-.ights.
In less then three minutes from tho time ho
spoke, tho stern sunk—the foam went boiling
over tho tumbling heap of human beings—many
wero dashed forward against the pipe. I heard
one wild yell, (still ringing in my ears) and saw
the Arctic and tho struggling mass rapidly en
gnlphea. Numbers yet clung to the imperfectly
construct d ratt; but, alas, wo could rondel* thorn
no aid. Oar own situation was no less precarious;
and, cruel as it seemed, wo we.o forced to aban
don them to fate. Heaven forbid that I should
ever witness such another scene. We, however,
picked up two more me i, and then, with an over
loaded boat, without oars, tholepins, food or drink,
avoiding with difficulty the fragments of the
wreck, and parsing many dead femalo, prepared
for a night upon the ocean. We secured a float
ing pumpkin and cabbage to guard against irame
diale starvation, !a?hed a spar to the prow of our
boat to keep her head to th« wind and sea, and
thus drifted until day light; the night was cold
and foggy, with a heavy swell, and, in a cramped
drenched and half naked condition, we suffered
terribiy.
Without dwelling upon our miseries, alleviated
much by tho consciousness that we had endeavor
ed to do oar duty to our fellow men, suffieo it to
Bay that at five o’clock on tho afternoon of the
28th, wo espied a sail, and raised a handkerchief
to attract attention. We were successful. With
the rude substitute for oars which wo had con
structed during tho day by lashing planks to cap
stau bars, with a view of attempting to gain laud
when the sea subsided, we puliod toward the ship.
On oar way we passed tho remnant of the raft,
with one man on it, (Peter McCabe, waiter,) ap
parently alive.
The barque proved to be tho Huron, of St. An
drews, N. 8., Capt. A. Wall, bound for Qnobec.
Our men safo on tho noble-hearted Dorian,
with some of the Huron’s crow, returned to the
raft, and rescued the poor fellow who for twenty
fix hours |had cludiug to tho spars. lie states
that after the steamship sunk, ho counted seventy
two men and four women on the raft, but at
o’clock he was the only one alive.—ln tho morn
ing two bodies wore beside him, much oaten by
fishes, and at tho time ho saw our boat he w s on
the point of voluntarily dropping in‘o tho sea to
end his agony. Coming from the raft, Dorian en
countered and examined the life car of of tho Arc
tic. It contained a bottle of wator, some cheesso
and a lady’s garment.
By the humane captain of tho Huron, and Mr.
Wellington Cameron, a son of the owner, we were
received with greut kin Tiess, our wounds were
drossed, fires were kindled, and food and clothing
wor6 provided in abundance. During the night*
of the 28th, Captain Wall hung out extra lights,
tired rockets, and kept a horn blowing, in hopes
of falling in with the remainder of the boats. But
his endeavors were fruitless. On the evening of
trie 29tHhe sptifS Vneship Deo aft on, Captain Story,
bound for New York, by whom eighteen of our
number were taken off, kindly welcomed and well
treated. We have this moment reached New
York, by pilot boat Christian Berg, No 16, to
which wo wore transferred from the (Lebanon and
to the crew of which wo are under groat obliga
tions

Additional from Halifax.
Copy of a despatch from Ha! f. x to E. K. Cobins,
Esq.:
Halifax , Wednesday morning.
No intelligence has been received of the missing
boats of tho Arctic.
In addition to tho brigantine Ann E:i2a (de
spatched by Messrs. Warren Brother*, under an
arracg mont with the American consul,) and other
vessels, wo are happy to state that tho Rov. Dr.
Field has placed his yacht “Hawk” at the dispo
! sal of Mr. Newman, who lost no time in engaging
! u crew and fitting her out for sea.
She left at 1 o’clock, P. M., yesterday, with in
strnctions to cruize for six days to the seathward
of the island.
It was generally expected that Mr. White of the
New-York, Newfoundland and London Telegraph
Company, wsnld have despatched the Company’s
steamer Victoria to cruise for the missing boats.
The steamer arrived from the westwardoa Monday
evening and remained at the company’s whirs un
til yesterday at noon. We understand that the
reply to Mr. Newmai.’s application was that she
could be had for SSOO per day. Her burden is
about 200 tc ns.
The follow iug ststemen! of the loss of the Arctic
by Mr. Baahiarn, the second old cor, a' pcared in an
extra of the Ledger on Tuesday.
Mr. Biahlam, and .he other officers, crew and
passe- ters saved in the two boats, arrived at
Broad Cove and reached here on Tuesday. On
Wednesday, the 27th, at noon, Cape Bace bearing-
Northwest, 65 miles distant, while running in a
very thick sos, the Arctic was struck on the star
board bow, about 60 feet abaft the cutwater, by an
iron steamer, which made three large holes in the
ship, two be ow the water,one of which wesabout
live feet and a half long and twelve or eighteen
inches wide, the whole cutwater and stem of the
iron steamer having parsed through the Arctic’s
side.
So dense was the fog that the vessel could not
be seen a minute before tho collision. The whee,
was put hard to starboard. Tbeenginewsv stop- |
ped instantly and becked at fail speed, until clear
of the other steemer, which occupied a couple of
minutes. The Trench steamer seemed to be sink
ing how first.
Cepe Luce immediately gave orders to clear
away the quarter beats, which was done, and Mr.
Gourley, chief officer, left the Arctic in charge of j
the starboard boet. On lowering the port boat
the captain exclaimed, “Hoist up that boat again, !
Mr. Baahlam,” and beekouea me to go to bim. 1
Upon doing so, lie ordered me to go over the bow
ascertain if possible what damage bad been
done. I th en found the holes above mentioned.
'- P°n iuiorming him of the fact 6, he gave orders
to get sails u u and try and get them round the bow
to endeavor to atop the leak, which was promptly
done, bat to no advantage whatever, so much ot
the bow and iron broken oif from the other steam- i
er projecting that the .-ails oonld not be brought
dose to the vessel’s side.
The carpenter was then lowered over the ves
sel's side and pillows and matttasoes passed down <
to him to try if pcs dole to force them in, but the
leak vi ta found to be so far below the water line
that this cou d not be done, and every exertion to
slop the leak piovc l unavailing.
Captain Luce then ordered the ship’B herd to
be kt-pl for iand, which bore N. W. hv W. By
lhi3 lime w Lad lo t sight of tho chief oilicerV
bo:*t and the ether steamer, which v? j supposed
tadj*unk.
We ha*l not been on our courso more than four
or five minutes before wo ran over a boat and
crew be.ongingto the other vessel, al of whom
peri. 3 bed, with the exception ct no who caught
hold ofa ropo hanging over the bow. Directly the
boat was seen, orders wore given to stop the cn
gicc, which the chief engineer said could not be
aonc, as the ship was fast sinking.
In about thirty minutes ail the lower fires were
out, and t’v rc was at least three :• it of water in
the ship, fore and aft. By this time the confusion
among the passengers was very great, but they
used all efforts to assist the crew in keeping the
deck pumps going, and in lightening tho ship
forward for The purpose of endeavoring to get at
the leak frc.J the inside, which was found to be
useless. Numbers of them crowded into the boats
which were still banging to the davits.
In forty five minutes fd'ior the collision I eamo
up from the fore hold end informed »ho captain
that tho water was on a level with the lower deck
basms, and that it was impossible to get at tho
leak. I then asked him what Lo thought would
be the fate of the ship, when he staled his belief
to me that there wn? no hope of saving her. He
then told me to see to my boats.
On going to the port side, 1 found hem com
pletely filled with men, women and children, and
nh possibility of getting near them. I immediate
ly went to tho starboard side and ordered two of
the crew to lower the guard boat, and asked the
captain what were hisi tendons. lie t\ plied that
<; tho ship’s fate should -c his.” I then asked hi.
it ho wouid i.ot allow his ( son to go, as I intended U
take a boa’, but he returned mo tho answer, that
“he should share his fute.’ :
It was soon discovered that there was no ho- e
cf savin? th i Arctic, and tho lady, daughter ai d
sou o: Mr. E. K. Collins, with several 1 rdies, we*«
put on board a boat, in low., lug which ouo of tho
tackles gave way, and all except, one lady, who
clung to a sailor holding fust to tho boat, wore
precipitated into the sea and lost.
I then jumped into a boat and was ordered by
the captain t cutaway the tackle lulls and cop
under ti io stern. I did so, and at tho saino time
about twenty persons, I suppose, jumped over
board, ot whom seventeen or eighteen were picked
up. Wo 101 lin with another boat, which had been
lowered from theothor side, and lightened her of
part of her omploment, leaving nineteen in her
and twenty-six in our own boat.
Tho last sight we had of the ship her yards were
level with tho water, and the surface « the sea
was strewn with human being?, who h i jumped
or la!!en overboard, to whom, however, ii was itn
f>os3ib!o to render any assistance, and ve .-oon
ost sight of all, as the fog continued to bo very
dens??. I then asked tho boat’s cn v whethei
they wore willing to be governed by tnc, which
was unanimously assented to, and 1 was put in
complete command of I otli boats.
We were then about sixty mile:.’ S. E of Capo
Knee. Deeming it my duty to tube the nearest
course, lor the safety of all, after piffling for forty
hours with nothing to guide us bn tho run of the
re:*, which I to be heaving fr on tho South
ward, and in a thick leg, which lasted all the time,
wo reached Broad Cove, twelve miles North t
Cap Race.
V» a then proceeded by ’.and lo U ncu , which
we reached on Friday lust. I ? obtained and
took charge of a small schooner which w: hired
by the purser and myself and proceeded imme
diately in oeerch ot the wreck or tho bouts. We
cruised round in a strong gale of wind from the
North Ea.'t- bat discovered no trace of tho ship or
boats.
I sent word to C- gtr.in Leiteh, cf the City of
Philadelphia, steamer, acquainting him with the
catastrophe, and I am informed he som off two
vessels which ho had employed about his own
ship.
Mr. Allan Goodridge, ofjßonews, a'-o sent away
a veasel on Saturday evening. It is with tho deep
est regret I have to rc, that no trace of the
Arctic ortho boats could be found, but as thore
wore many ve.sels in tho neighborhood where th&
disaster occurred it is not at all improbable that
many iivos may have been saved.

The Late at.
The Abctic Catastrophe— F urther Particulars .
— Halifax , October 12.—We have dales from Now
Foundland to the 4th, which announces the arrival
of tho French screw steamer Vesta, at St. Johns,
on the 8d inat. with her foremast and bows shat
tered to pieces, she being the vessel that came in
collision with tho Arctic. She picked up and
brought into port 31 of tlie Arctic’s crew.
The Vesta lost 18 of her passengers, supposed
to bo those who wore run down by the Arctic in a
small bout.
Three of tho Arctic's boats have not yet boon
heard from, but being life boats, they are supposed
to have been picked up. The vessels sent in
search returned on tho 8d without success—not
having fcu.-.d the slightest trace.
As regular communication between this and
Newfoundland is but once a fortnight, that period
will probably elapse before wo hoar anything mr
ther with regard to those saved on board tho Vesta.
It is probable, however, that tho steamor Osprey,
sent to convey tho passengers of tho City of Phila
delphia to Philadelphia may stop here. She was
expected to i ave St. Johns on the Bth inst.
C. T. Mitchell, of Charleston, S. C., is among
those saved, who left hero v/ilh tho others rescued
on tho Europa.
New-Yobk, Oot. 11.—After carefully sifting all
tho testimony, the agents of tho Arctic entertain
strong hopes, amounting almost to a certainty,
that Mrs. Collins and a largo number of other la
dies were placed on one of tho boats and safely
launched under the immediate supervision of Capt.
Luco himself. The third mate denies the state
meut that they wore thrown into tho sea by the
breaking of tho davits, but that they wero placed
iu a boat with abundance of provisions.
Boston, Oct. 12.—A gentleman who arrived hero
this morning on *ihe train from New-York states
that there was a report at Full River that a vessel
loaded with Railroad iron hud arrived at Warren,
R. 1., with forty persons picked up from one of
tho missing bouts of tho Arctic.
Providence, Oct. 12.—A special messenger
from Warren, R. 1., reports the arrival of the shin
Margaret, which ppoko the pilot boat which had
put a pilot on board the ship Lebanon, and hence
the rumor of another boat lo; of tho passengers
of the Arctic having boon sared and brought into
that port.
We subjoin a list of her passengers, nearly one
half of whom are said to belong to New York:

Expoets from New York.—Tho Journal cf
Commerce says that tho exports from Now York
to foreign ports for the month cf September, as wo
anticipated at the opening of the month, show a
large falling off in the item of domestic produce.
Had there been a scant harvest in Europe, the
stock of cereals at our port has been so limited,
that large shipments could not have been made
but the abundant crop, both in Great Brilisn ar-.d
oa the Continent, has left but little room for
American breadstuff*, and but little will go for
ward except a s r i :ce-* far below the rates lately cur
rent here. The shipments of foreign goods show
but little change ; while tho exports of pecie (in
cluding some clearances on the last day of the
previous month) have been larger than ever be
fore reported within a single month. The nearest
approach to tho sftme total was during the month
of June, 1351, when the amount wa3 $6,482,367.
The total exports for September, exclusive of
specie, are 11,851,539 less than for September of
last year, and $532,126 greater than for September,
1852. The exports from New York since January
1-t are larger than ever before know', during a
similar period. The total, exclusive of specie, is
$3,170,513 greater than for the first nice months
of lau year, ard $18,339,375 greater than for the
same period of 1852.
It is said that the experiment to make paper out
of an American plant coiled “White-top,” or
“ Immortelle,” has been saccessftal. The botanical
name is Gnaphalnno, end the paper is therefore
called “Gnaphaiic paper.” The plant is very
abnndsnt in Csr-sda. The psper is glossy, smooth,
and thin, and evidently much stronger tLau that
kind in the manufacture of which cotton is so
largely used. The stalk as we!! as the flour of
I tbs plant may be employed, bat from tie white
silky flows’aiofle a finer and whiter article can
of coerce be produced. The manufacturer!! assert
that, without taki: g into consideration thediffer
ence of the cost of materials, paper may be made
from this plant at 12}£ per cent, less expense than
rags. The adhesive qualities of the plant are such
that in the manufacture of the paper r,o animal
matter need be used, and a good surface is ob
tained without fixing.
The Maysvilla (Ky ) Eagle says the almo.-! total
failure of the hemp seed crop of Kentucky end
Missouri has led to the information of a company
in that city for the purpose of importing i fr in
Europe.

immediately arose, and, throwing his arm around
him, they promenaded the floor, until tho neglect

at the Prt sident’s rudeness, left the Wl.ite House
in disgust. Tl c same thing is said to have hap
per.cd with ot-or ••antletnen, and is one great rea
son why the administration organ will soon have
to be set to tho popular air of “Jordan is a hard to
travel.”— Washidyton Cor. of the Nat. Dcmc'rat.
The Louisville Journal comments upon the above
tin-: “It must bo mortis irg to every true-heart
ed American that a man, filling the office of Presi
dent ot tho United States, is the crony of such a
fellow as J. W. Forney. This Forney is the noto
rious individual, who consented to bo employed
by Forrest, the actor, to endeavor to induce a man
