• Uur inforcia jtb, who were »*aved iu the Fran'i'
meiaiuc life boat No. 727- with Mr. Dorian, third
I officer, &c., say ‘.hat all the other five boats were
l trger und belter than it, except the one in which
Mr. liogerp, chief engineer, and bis parly took
j refuse, and that was of the -ame size as No. 727.
Mr. Li', cure’s b■ >s* wt. well supplied with pro-

: *t water, a i learner fall of boiled potato f*, and a
j otof pies and preserves. Mr. Rogers had r.c
compass, or other nant cal irstrament, ur i the
j weather wa? too thick, even on the day alter the
wrcch. to an of the sun, } et it v
thought that his boat would be likely to reach
land, which was supposed to be not more than 40
miles dis’ant. Aft to t.-;o four other boats oar in
formant* could not toll whether tLoy were pro
-ir’uned or fctd any inotruments. They think
-hat no ladies wereseved ; n any of the boats; but
thev add to Mr. Burns’s list o'/ “names of persons
« .-- ediL: the sh'p’e houts” that Patrick Hagan,
Edward Holfordy and Pot- r Connor, firemen, were
iT.onsr tbesavoh, # .-id they noticed one
(a tali ana thin elderly gentleman,shaved smooth,
u-id wearing a brown fre -k coal) in the b'»itt w’ th
j Mr. Rogers. It appears from tne statement of two
) passengers, with whom w- nave conversed since
, ' ahr/va paragraph va > put in type, that feix cr
eight ladies were saved.
The following named persons floated otf from
i- Ar. -icon doors, plfnkr, spars and other frail
rafts, which it is feared could not sa-tain them
i,\£ amid the sea:—Alexander Grant,
firemen; Michael Hassell, coal parser; Joht
Kiley. coal passer.
And several forward cabin passengers whose
n nes were unknown to oar informants. Moat
i of the forward cabin passengers were English or
i Wfh, and Gercnai ?, going to California.
There were agrent number of life on
oosrd, but the india-rubber ones proved ai.. obi
useless. The tin ones did good service. *mr iu
formants saw e number of bodies of dead women
and men, with preservers on, fimtug on the waves.
R-ohard M* kin, fireman, who is one of the nnrn
>er taken to Quebec by the Huron, was standing
in the Htarbourd wheel house ofthe Acrtie, when
nhe went down. Having on a geo i life pre'-erver.
• io rose to ts c surface, and although h. v** .ve:g
ed down by an overcoat and other heavy garments,
he continued to swim about three quarters of a
mile toward Mr. Dorian’s boat, which picked him
up.
Three of the rescued men brought to this port
by the ship Lebanon, viz: John Connelly, engi
neerh* steward; Thomas btaoson, officers’ steward
!id Peter McCabe, waiter, have been taken to the
Now York Hospital. Connolly is sick, and the
two other men aro both sick, and wounded by
being knocked aguiust the rust.
The five men with whom we have converged,
“Xprees the most earnest gratitude to Captain
Wall ofthe Huron, and Captain Story, of the
T/banon, with their respective crews, for the
kmanc-a with which they were treated, being well
led end clothed.
The office of the Collins Steamship Company, in

h he STrAirenip and Oarod.—The Arctic wm
bn - iuNow Y'ork, by William H. Brown, nud was
;. idered staunch a vessel as wtu: over con
sin ctcd. She m usored 8,600 rcgistfi, atni
cost The «Lip and machinery were in
sured lor $540,000 by various American insurance
companies, and it is understood that they wore also
Insured iu England, bat to what amount is not
gone-rally known. The cargo was insured for over
sßoo,oob, principally in Wall-street.
Additional SxATjrasa.\Td.—Sir.cu preparing the
roreu *i; g narrative tor the press, we have con
verse i with :wo il the pussepgers who arrived
here iu the Lebanon. They confirm the statement
of ilr. Barns iu all its parts. It was compiled
alter c Radiation among those saved,r.ad witii the
aid of all ihe facts within tho knowledge of each.
It will '3 observed, however, that wo have gleaned
some additional particulars.
Tne most important of these is in relation to
some of tho female pasaangers having boon saved.
Mr. Thompson, o: New Orleans, Bays that he saw
six or eight of thoso in one of the boats; one of
whom, ho was informed, was Hiss Schmidt, who,
with her f .’her, was ou board ou her return from
a toor in Europe. The father was : mong those
teen on the wreck when it we t down.
The opinion of both gentlemen i» that all in the
boars are saved. Tho first officer, who had been
sent, in tho boat to see if those ou the propeller
were in need of relief, when informed that the
steamer could not wait for him, was directed n* to
;he coarse it wa* necessary to steer for the laud, .n
the 1 wiif-ng of all those who subsequently rook to
the other bouts, and the inference is that they wore
filly instructed on that head.
The weather was perfectly cairn at the time of
the accident, and the ocean was as smooth at the
water *of an inland bay. It so conlinued for about
twenty four hours, wheu a st.ff bro ze sprung up,
accompanied by u rough sea. It is hoped that be
iV ro this happened he boa'.s reached a place of
comp ralive safely.
| Both the passengers with whom we have coil
verged were below at the time of the collision.
] They afterward heard, however, that the propeller
, came stem or. to the steamer, striking her about
; twelve ?r fifteen feet abaft hor stem. It was sup
i pveed that tdo Arctic had c-caped Without sc
i ricus damage, and the only concern felt was for
; those on board the propeller. This was the case
j until after the great offioar’s boat had left the ship.
| Directly alter the collison, the steam pumps
were putin motion, and all the hand pumps were
I manned. The former were kept agoingaa iong as
i theongiuo worked, and the latter until the ship
; went down. Cue hole was discovered near tho
i water line, at the spot where the contact took
! place, but it is beleived that other and more se
i rious injuries occurred below us it was impossible
j from the body of water which gained ingress at
| this opening to account for the rapid sinking of
the ship.
! 3very effort was made by those on board to <op
• these locks, cud up to the time our informants
j went to wofa ou the ra!ts, on which were
' employed, bands were employed ou the forcecastle
; in the endeavor to draw sails under the bows
! arccud the vessel.
| One of our informants is of opinion that the
’ lower fires were extinguished in half t-n hour after
the collision, and the upper within an hour. The
I other gentleman tuinka that the litr e was a little
j longer in each in stance. Both concur in saying
: that the ship finally sank ia about iour boars—
i say at four o’clock. For about half an hour after
I the collision, the steamer made rapid headway to
| ward the shore, but alter ttat her progress was
j slow until the fires finally went out and she drift
, ed l wreck upon the waters.
i Throughout the teirible scene. Capt. Luce was
preserving his calmness, wtiie do
irg e.-cry thing iu his power to promote the sate
i :y of those entreated to his charge. His own life
| f t might easily have saved had he deserted his
po-t of duty. When last seen, he was m the im
mediate vicinity of Mrs. and Mi>a Collins, and oth
er female passengers, apparently giving directions
; ter their conduct.
The conduct of -ome of the c-cw and other en
! ployces oi the t-hip, however, dees not appear to
j cave been so commecdab.e, and it is probacy ow
i ing to their having obtained control of the boats
i that so lew were saved. Tee six life boats on
board were aii cf the mo:-t approved construction.
f Tw *:> of them were capable ot sustaining one fcun
•red per* ms, and the remainder about thirty per
, ioDsescb, a-ik:c« boa r.. m lor *bont iwo ..nn
dredan 1 twenty in a!’, while it is estimated
. not more than one-hail of that nu_. her we-e saved.
. Q t e of \he boat® hod teen detained fer duty,
i I aud wsj abandoned by the steamer. It U hoped
'that she rescued a poitiOi- of those who were left
iHi the raft, or were fioot ing around in the vicinity
cr pars ard fragments cf the wreck. Another
:>. •:* we are informed, was seized by those work
int q the engine room. aL-i wa» mads inslamec
»t. to the saving cf only some half a dexen, when
it might have taken on board at iea»: five times
• that number. Some ot the other boa-s apparently
we-e bat giarinsiy fiiled. That iu which were
1 tho»*t- rescued by the Huron, bai thirty two on
Dos-'d. as many probably as she could sustain da
rlng he twenty lour hours which e.apse*l previous
to tr being picked up.
bhc rei- r.s, bo fi»r we have heard them, speak
* .afavorably o! coudnet of Uioae geucr&ily em

■ shows t hit r very large proportion of them avai.

duct. At the time when tho ship was p.boa'. to I

j Oar informants -sy teat neither of them heard |
either the be«i tolled or the steam whistle us-ad, !
previous to tne collision, notwithstanding the •
dense-e?s of the kg. Both, however, were be- j
low at the time, and it is the opinion of chose most i
conversant with the management of the snip that |
chte c '-recaoliocs againc-. accident were not ne- i
riecti d. The whistle on board is so placed as to |
be at the command of the officer ofthe deck, with
out resort to the fenuiue room. He has only tc
tu.n au escape cock, fixed near his usual post, to
sound the alarm.
From i'".e Boston Journal
Further statements ol IsnrvlYori.
The steamship Earopa, Capt. Lei*ch, arrived at
h!a port last nig; ?, at about 12 o’clock. The
Europa brought the pu-seengere of the Arctic wau
| in t. o two b;ar* which arrived at Bread,
j Cove, 4b in ail, together with some of the passe n
gra by the unfortanuie steamship City of Phila
delphia. Os those oii board the Arctic, arrived by
: Eurora, are 25 officers and crew of the steamer
'.••/ether with the passenger? who wore in those
boats. Af'er rc chin/ the shore at Be now - where
they were received in the moat hospitable manner
by the inhabitants, the sufferers walked.o a small
town 9 miles distant, and chartered a schooner,
and prt ceeded to bt. Johns, N. F., whence they
proceeded to Halil ax in the steamer Merlin, arriv
in'/ about half an hour in advance of the Jsuropa.
Immediately on the arrival of the Europe, our
reporters went on board and held a conversation
with Mr. Baal ham, 2d officer of the Arete, some
of the passengers, r.nd a rew of the crew.
All wo have teen sgr-oin etK ing that Mrs. Col
• ins, and son i.nd daughter, were in the boat,
which tipped over, and that they were all drown
ed. As one gen : ?man said to uu, “I had my eye
on her, and heard fcei shriek, when she leli into
he water.” Itsa as there could be no doubt
the' r: is party vero drowned, as has be«*n stated.
O ie of wi.e inert- lamentable features of this dis
sler, is :La statement, concurred in by several of
those with whom we coaverred, that not a woman
or a child wag taced. This is a sad refaction.
ADDITIONAL STATiiAIF.NT IJY TFIE SECOND OFFICER 01
THE ABCTiO, MiS. BAALHAM.
Among the passengers by the Europa ia Mr.
Baalhum, the 21 cliicer of the il'-iated Arctio. We
saw him and conversed with him last ntght, and
gathered lrctn him some parti .-ulars additional to
si-5 form- r statement. All of the persons saved in
• be twj boat-* under his command, forty live in all,
•ittine through •• i:h * ita, wita the exception oi the
Purser, Mr. John Gibe, end one seaman whn whs
left at St. Johns, N. F., and live seamen who were
left at SydiD-v.
Mr. Bualb&m reports that up to the time of his
leaving St. John, no tid ng* had been received o f |
•he two trissiog oo.tts belonging to the £r3 ic.
Vlr. B-alham and the o-her survivois armed at
fia'itiiz about hair an hour bole.ro the Europe sail
ed. They came round from fct. Johns in the
a e.-mer Merlin.
Mr. H. stated that Here were two men on the
lookout when the colli* mWk place. The pro
pe.Mer was seen but a moment before the vessels
struck —not in time to n'op her headway. Mr B.
repea’H his former statement n regard to the
thorough search, which was made by the vessels
which were sent to lot-k for the boats of the Arctic,
and speaks in •.arms of t • o highest praise of the
noble conduct of Capt. 1.- itch of the City of Phil
adelphia, in s mdir.g off two vessels to cruise for
them. The cruise w* s continued seven days, but
not a vestige of the wreck was seen. Tue boat in
which Mr. B. and the Purser went out, cruised
from Friday until the succeeding Tue* day, during
which time neither of them closed their eyes.
When the b"at was launched 1 , to ’ho command
of which Baalham was ordered by Capt. Luco,
i great number jumped overboard in hopes ot get
» ting on board oi her. There were two men ia the
j boat besides the 2 i rfilcer, and they laid hold of
i the drowning men in the water around them and
pulled them on board the boat, until it wus iinpos
t.iblo to rescue any more, i’iia names r?ill be found
in another place.
Capt. Luce’s son, Mr. B. aia’os, wus a cripple,
j and was lying in his north at the time of the aaci-
I dent.

The team kb Vesta.—We are indebted to Mr.
Charles J. Bennett, for some information in regard
totho Vesta, the steamer which wus in collision
with tho Arctic. The Vesta arrived at St. Johns,
N. F. on the 80th September. She is a merchant
screw steamer, and was bound from St. Peters to
Granville. She was steering in a dense fog, about
eight knots an our, when rhe struck the Arctic.
One man was killed, and several others were in
jured by tho collision.
Two boats wore launched, the first of which
sunk, and tho second was taken possession of by
two of the crew and several of the passengers
against- the orders of the captain. They were never
seen more. The bulkhead of tho forecastle was
not started, and the foro part cl the steamer being
lightened by throwing freight overboard, the next
two days were consumed in securing the break,
when the steamer ran to Sr. Johns.
The Vesta had on board 147 passongors, and a
crew of CD men—of whom 18 were lost.
Disgraceful Conduct of an American Consul.
—ln tho St. Johns (N. F.) New Foundlander, wo
find some statements in regard to tho conduct of
tho American Consul at St Johns, Mr. Newman,
which it true, would forever disgrace the veriest
barbarian. The intelligence of the disaster was
received at St Johns on Saturday, and for three
days, although earnestly solicited, the American
Consul took no measures fo r tho relief of the
Arctic, or those of he? passengers who were
drifting in boats 1 Tho steamer Cieoprtra, and the
steamer Victoria, arrived iu port on Monday, and
the Merlin on Tuesday, and neither tho Consul
or Governor Hunilton would assume any respon
sibility of sending them in search of the boats.
Some members ot the Assembly tooK up the mat
ter, and offered to giarautee tlioexpenso of s end
iug the steamers on the search, when the Gover
nor agreed to back tho Consul, but the ghost
of the responsibility still stated that worthy in tho
face, and the resuu, was that tho Consul eent a
yacht on tho search 1
Iu pleasant contrast to this disgraceful conduct
is the action of Mr. Chandler White, Agent of tho
telegraph company, who despatched tho steamer
Victoria on the search, with orders to continue
the search Just as long as ho thought proper, he
assuming all espouse.
If this statement bo not exaggerated, tho Go
vernment at Washington should take coguisunce
of the case at once. Such outragoons neglect as
that above named, will do much to lowor tho
United States and its Government in tho 63toem
of the Bri’ons of Newfoundland.
Cheering News—S/fett of Captain Luce and
others—Horn Bkightenin*.—Naw Yore, Oct. 14.
—A despate:; was received here early tbis morn
ing from Quebec, announcing the gladsome intel
Jigonce that the ship Cambria had arrived at that
port with Captain Lace of the ill fated steamer
Arctic, and a number of her passengers, including
Mr. George Allen, son-in law of Mr. James Brown,
of the firm of Brown, BroD art* A Co. Also, Mr.
Smith, of Edinburg. Mr. AlietPo wife ar.d several
others o? his relatives, wore on board the Arctic.
Tho despatch gives no farther particulars, but
from the tact that it slates a uuuiber cf the Artie’s
pa.- sengers were rescued by th* Cambria, wo have
the boneful inference that others may have been
j rescued.
i Latsb.—A despatch has hsec received hero this
morning by Captain West of tliuAtlantic, prior to
nine o’clock, direct from Capt. jfeco, who was in
Moutreal, which announces his ititeiy and tho res
cue cf Mr. Allen and Mr. 3mlih, with others, but
no other names mentioned. T? 4 Inference, there
fore, is, that none o ? Mr. Collin’s fhmily wore saved
by the ship Cambria, nor others prominently
known, or they would have been mentioned.
Captain Luce does not state in what manner ho
escaped from the Arctic, or how himself and com
paniens were situated when picked up. He enters
into no particulars.
Second Despatch,
New York, Oat. 4. —Another despatch just re
ceived here states that. Captain Luco, Mr. Allen,
Mr. Smith, five other passengers, and five ot the
c-ew, were picked up from a raft after they Lad i
been floating some time at the mercy of the sea.
C-ipt. Luce’s son was not saved. There were bo
ladies on the nft wi h Capt. Lucs, when the Cam
bria overtook it.
Capt. Luce expresses the nepefui opinion that
oihere ot the passengers may have boen picked up
a d saved.
, Tr o above intelligence, in the midst of gloom,
I has spread a gleam of joy over many countenances
in onr ci y, and they are now induced to kepe
strongly, that others may have been saved.
Tec Wreck of the Arctic— Further Particular* of
the D.saatfr.
Mr. Baablara, 2d officer of the Arctic, with about
2S of her crew, and 11 of her passengers, arrived
in this city last night from Boston, whither they
were brought from Halift-.x by the steamship
Eurooa. By the same arrival we have received the
| St. John’s (Newfoundland) Courier cf Oct"be* 4th.
i Wo regret to find that tho report of the Vesta’s
having picked up 8i ot the Arctic’s crew is uncor
robrated. From the “Shipping Intelligence” of
the Bt. John’s Courier we take the following items:
The French merchant screw steamer Vesta,
Duchesne, master, from St. Peters to Granville,
with 140 passengers, came iu contact, during a
1 thick foi? with the American steamer Arc’ic, (Co!
lies’ line) from Liverpool to New York, on
the 27th inst., at noon, in lat. 48 20, lon. 5S 50, and
» lost bowsprit, foremast, anehors, chains, <fcc ; and
» threw her coals and the greater part ot heavy
stores and cargo overboaid to lighten the ship,
i Some of the passengers and crew (it is said, 14)
took to the boats and have not since been heard
i of. One uan was killed on board the Ve»ia. She
reached this port on Saturday morni tg last.
The sorew steamer Cleopatra, Capt. Salt, Irom
Quebec to Liverpool, put in here on Monday morn
i:»g short of coal. Sue hat on board 883 men of
the 71st Kegiment, unde? the command of Colonel
i l Suck, 100 women and children, and 85 passengers.
| The Cleopatra exchanged s : gcals on Monday
with the Royal Mail Steamer Niagara, hemeward
■ ■ bound about S miles West of Cape Eace.
The St. John’s Courier, of the 4th, also copies
i from the Ledger of the previous day, the following
i | stfciemeLtas to the Vesta:
1 i The French merchant screw steamer Vesta, from
St. Peters bound to Granville, ar ived here on Sa
turday morning iast, with loss of foremast and
» bows completely shattered to pieces, having been
in collision with the Colb ns paddle steamer Arctic
Irom L verpool to New York, about 54 miles S. E.
of Cape B&ce.
It appears that the Vesta left St.Peter3 on Tues
» day lasi, and on the following day. at noan, in the
ne ghborhoed of the Virgin Rocks, in an exceed
ingly dense fog, steaming 8 knots, came into colli
sion with a ;urge steamer, which was recognized
a* the Arctic of New York, whose speed is stated
to have been nor than \% knot*.. Xwa V-»*-
: appeared to b« Wi :»**-•rose sgaini
• t>at no cc-j • was entertained ofter ultimate safe
« ty, the passengers and crew looking upon the
l Arctic as the-r only chance of saving their lives,
t One man wis k:.»wd, and others severely wounded,
f Two boats were put over the side, the first of
* which was sunk, and the second was immediately
boarded by two of the crew and several of the
aasengera, who net heeding the order of the cap
Q tain to return on board, aoandoned the vessel,
s The fog coutinuirv very thick, they lost sight of
y the Arctic altogether, st'«! hopping, however, that
e she would not desert them A cry of distress whs
□ now heard, which wan attributed to some men of
- the Vesta who, it appears, jumped overboard, to
s j get on board the Arctio. Providentially, the ba!k
--i head in the forecastle was no: started, which the
£ . c-Tptßir,(Dachb®ce) noticed as ifibrdicg a chance
■ of safety, He immediately, with tLeaicKstpromp
i titade, give orders for lightening the vessel by
. , the head, which was as readity obeyed by throw
il * ing overboard all me fiah. cargo, luggage of the
! passengers, *fcc., which was in the fore part of the
vessel, and which r* sad her bows considerably
! This elevation, with the firmness ofthe bulkhead
c ntributed much to stop the heavy rush of wa
ter. hF*' : -
About 150 mattrsa-es and ether effects of ihe
and passongtw were new placed abaft the
safety partition, which were thrown sa Is,
backed by boards a: d plaok-t, the whole being
secured by cables arid firmly strapped around
ail. The foremaatg which had received some
datnfge, was cut away, an a contributed considera
bly to raise the head still more. This ocoapiid
two days. They thtiß tan under small steam for
the nearest port, (Sk-John’?,) which they entered
on Saturday last, n.oet nrovidentiallj before the
risingof a severe g*i»* wn:ch blew on that day.
Up>oa iuusteriDg the lian s, 18 were missed. The
Vesta had on board 147 pasengers aud a crew of
50 men.
, The conduit of Cipt. Duchesne is much ap
plauded, aod the condition of the vessel, as she
5 now appears, elicits th’- admiration of ail who visi;
her. Indeed, nothing f ut the most indomitable
energy, au wavering p<r»everunce, and most supe
rior seamanship couiff have tneooedod in bringing
the vessel into port. The unfortunate men have !
been taken into the hospitable keeping of Mr. j
Toasssim, (through whose kindness we have been
enabled to gather tho foregoing account,) who
spares no pains to provide for their »x>mfort.
Nothing further was known ofthe Arctic, until '
the eveuir gos 8 itarday, when news reached town
th*tsh2 had suffered ecnsidcrably from the shock,
aud had been abandoned by the passengers ani
crew. Ou Sunday some of those who hud taken
to the boats arrived here from Renews.
It is though, tba f the report telegraphed from
Halifax in regard to the thirty one persons said to
; have been picked up fer the Vesta, originated in
j the fact that 81 ot thowew aud 16 passengers on
Baablam’s boat were ts; Newfoundland with the
Vesta.
STATEMENT OF TfiE FOURTH OFFICER.
Mr. Mark Granam, 4tp officer ot the Arctic, has
made the following tiatemeut to the Times ;
On the 27th there was u fine breeze from W.S.W.
The sea wa:* not so calm »-S has been slated in some
of the published - I was cn deck from 7
till 12 o’clock, ou the of the accident; this was
my watch. The ras on deck ct 12. He #
told me to strike organ, 3ci:c, which! did. About
three minutes afterward, one of the men on the
lookout strnck one bell, aud sung out, “Hard to
st m heard.” The wheel waa immediately put as di
rected. I then saw a v sselon cur starboard bow,
corning stem upon us with all her sail pet. She
struck us ou the starboard bow about 50 or 55 fu*t
abaft the s‘Bm. She left p.-rr of cu:w tter and
stem in our bow. She then drifted abalt the
w eel, when she got clear of us. 1 could see she
was car down us low a*, the water, and as far abaft
*a the foremast. I rouH nee tho cargo in her ’ore
bold quite plain. Our starboard quarter boat was
then lowered, with six ofthe crew, in charge of the
chief u:at<, to render assistance to the v -wA wit»‘.
which we had come in contact.
Tho boatswain’s mate, aud some five o’ six men
were also lowering the starboard guard boat to
render aid to tho propel.sr, when Capt. Luce cried
out to hold on with that boat and go forward and
get the anchor over on ihe port Bice, for tho thip
was li-ting over to starboard very fast. I imtue
dlntely got about twenty of the firemen and coa ;
passsrs and some of tha second cabin passengers
toascitim. Wo got the tochers over anu then
emptied the water out of the water cask* and roll
od them over to port and then fi led them in order
10 give the vessel a list in that direction and gel
tho holoe oat of tho water. We found it impossi
ble. The carpenter was then 1 weroti to oxaorne
the nature ofthe damage done our vessel. lie said
there was a hole about six feet below water-mark,
18 inches deep and 8 feet long. Capt. Lnce then
told me to fasten a sail over the hole.
I ordered some men to get tho mointopsail up,
and get lines i-nd sweep them under the ship’s
bottom, and make them fast to the clews of the
topsail, and have the ssil d T awn close to the ship’s *
side. But, with all ws con Id do, the water kept. I
gaii.iug on tho ship’s pumps. We then got the ■
mainsail and put that on the topsaii. Tbs cap- ;
captain remarked that if that did not stop the leak
Iq'.-.jss than ten mii-ules, it would be *veiy man
for himself, &* we were now up to the lower deck !
bowfc. Efforts was then made to lighten the rbip j
by letting the chains run overboard, ail hope be- j
iog given up of saving the veessl from sinking
quick'y after this. .
Capt. Luce began assisting the ladies and child- j
ren into the port guard boat, whioh had been low
ored for that purpose. The port quarter boat was i
uiso h ied with ladies and gentlemen while stdl!
hanging at the davits. Five es the orevr were
among them. Mr. Kelly, the second assistant en
ffireor. v\m. Riar, quarter master; xhoma* Ban
ker, Wm. Cnramings, Chas. Steward, seamen; Mrs. ,
Collins, daughter and son, 1 saw in tbe boat. One
of the passengers, in the act of lowering the boat, ,
lot go of the trosßle fall, and all in the boat, except
I Mr. Goler and one of the seamen, were drowned.
; By this tim*, tho guard boat had gone, having
some 16 cr 13 ladies in it. This boat was iu charge
of B. Van Arden.
Ino w went over to the starboard side. Captain .
Luce ordered Mr. Baahlam to 'ower tho starboard
gaard boat, which he did. Soon as he had lower- ,
ed her, some eighteen or twenty jumped over- (
boaid, who were picked up. I then got in this j
tont. The first quarter boat whs lowered, aud
twenty - six jumped into her. We took six of thoii j
number. Capt. Luce ordered our boots to leave, j
Ho told us Cape Race bore from us N. W. by W.
We very soon lost sight of the ship in the fog. .
This was about 2% o’clock. We steered for land, (
as we supposed, by the heave of tho sea. We
had neither meat nor drink for fifty hours. Fri
day morning, 6 o’clock, 2&th ult., wo reached ‘
Bread Cove. .
We walked from here to Renews, a distance of .
six miles. Hero wo weio nlessed with food. Mr.
Baulham charteied two steamers to take us to St. ,
Johns; but, owing to adverse winds, aftor going
twelve nr!c*. we put a pls.ee called Fairy j
Land, where we remained two days and a half,
and whore we were most k'mdly and hospitably •
received. From here we walked to St. Johns, a
distance of fifty miles. We staid here two days, j
and then took the propeller Merlin to Halifax, on 1
board of which we received the kindest possibly .
treatment. From her we were transferred to the (
Europa, and came to Boston.
Mr. Graham says that >n the manner of leaving
tho Arctic no blame can be attached to Mr. Buah- .
iam. He further says, that he was cool aud did
everything in his power to save the vessel and the
lives of passengers entrusted in his care.
Another Statement from Mr. Baahlam. *
Mr. William Baahlam, 2d officer of tho Arctio,
says that the Meriiu, wh;ch landed Mr. Baahlam '
ana his company at Halifax, was fourteen or fifteen |
hours cruising where the accident took place. '
They instituted the search at the instanco of Mr.
Baahlam. When the collision took place, tbe
Arctic’s speed was twelve and a half miles au hour '
the ueuul rate in foggy weather. AU due vigi
lance was exercised. On the forecastle were eta
tioned two men on the constant lookout to avort
any possibility of a collision, or other accident.
At tho time of the accident there were on deck
two officers besides Mr. Baahlam. It was not a
moment after the other vessel wsb seen before
the collision took place. Tr.cre was very great
oonstornation. Immediate order was given to hard
starboard the helm and reverse the engine.
Tho water was discovered pouring is below, and
Mr. Baahloin was ordered down to stop tho leak.
The effort to do so was of no avail.
As to the question why so many saved were of
the crew, and so few passengers, Mr. Baahlam
; 9 tate3in explanation that Captain Lues ordered
him to jump into a boat, whicu ho did vrlth three
oi hers. They had no sooner touched the water
than they were surrounded with numbers who
had jumped overboard, and were straggling for
life. He says they aid not stop to notice who and
what ihey were, but filled their boat. Another
beat was also lowered, aud immediately filled.
The two had all they could contain. Thnv evuid
do to more, and with severest inner struggle they
left the others, whom they coaid not save, to the
deep. He says he left when he did at the impera
tive command of Captain Luce.
Tbe Times saye that Mr. Baahiam’a conduct in
connection with the rescue of the crew and passes
gore ofthe ship Ocean Monarch, a few yoarsainca*
i» too froah in the recollect on of many hearts to
warrant suspicion of selfietness or inhumanity on
bia part. Captain Lp.itcb, of the Buropa, when
they arrived ot Halifax, ia the kindo»t man er
possible gave Mr. Baahlam and his men a passage
t> Boston. Mr. Baahlam says there ia no doubt
that Col-ins was drowned, as there are many
surviving who witnessed her death.
This statement is corroborated by M. Dupaa
seitr, ono of the French passengers saved, who
informs tbe Courier dee Elats C-is that—
Captain Luoo put Mtb. Colline, her children and
sevoral other passengers on board the boat near
the stern. Unfortunately, at the moment of low
ering this boat, one of the pulle>s gave way, the
ether remaining entangled. The boat wae pre
cipitated nearly perpendicularly, and ail who were
I iu it, excepting three per&ODB, were thrown into
the tea. At such a m-jmeot a misfortcca like this
was without a remedy. The overhauling of the j
boat, now empty, was achieved, and it was impos- !
<-ib-e to regulate her des iny Baaaeuger* and ssil- f
era with tne ceremony jura nod i to the boat, which ■
was iu & few seconds tilled. MM. Dopsf'Seur, C. ‘
T. Mitchell, W. A. Your.g, W. W. Gill be rt, F. de
Major, William Gihon, E. M. Hues, J. B gart,
J. Heuaesay, J. McHath, Geo. Dobbs, and Du- i
! j laquais, (servant of M- le Due de Grammont), I
j were happy enough to find plan s in this boat.
M. Is Due de Grammont h.m**elf tried to jump, !
but toil into the sea, and would nave immediately !
r fensfced, had it not been ior hi* servant, who by ;
, a superhuman effort hoisted him ou board. Da-
I laquais himself regained tho boat by means of a
1 ( rope, inviting hia master to follow his example, but
i the boat had already got under way. Dulaquais
> i ma lea great jump, and fell like an inert mass in
> the boet. M- dc Grammont did net feel etroi gen
; oogh to imitate him, or he would not have s! to wad
> | to pass the precious minute which separated safety
• j from death.
f The young Duke, M. Guynet, and Mr. Brown’s
i family, were the last p&rsona that M. Dupasseur
, perceived ou tha stem oi the steamer at the mo
, ment when the boat passed around the ship,
k i M. Dupasseur was the twe ity fifth person in
tbe boat, and tbe least movement might have re
, suited in the upsetting ot the boat. Foriui ately.
I iu coming to tbe starboard side they met tbe boat
l of Mr. Baahlam, and were lightened of six per
sons. This officer offared to take the command for
the general saiety. A few momenta after the Arc
) tic, now a andoned to the caprice of the sea, and
l having already twelve feet of water in her hold,
j wa« out of sight.
i M. has informed the Courrier des
i j Etata Unis that the French on the Arc
- ; tic, beside himself, were: M, Guynet, hia wife and
f 1 four children ; M. Lenoir, his wife, his brother and
his brother’s wife aDd their children ; Madame
Lecoq and child ; M’lle. \ ictcrine Perrin.
It is thought that most of these took refuge in ■
l one of the boat 3, whose fate i* not yet known.
There were aiso on board the Arctic the following

I The Boatou Transcript of last evening says :
The passengers report that at the moment cf
the ooi:i.'Oo, the Aroiic wason the top of a bug
i oae#, while the Ye* f m was in what is ca led “the
ft ugh” of the sea, so that the Arctic was injured
beljw her water line. This wi l account for re
ported difficulties in stopping the leak.
In regard to the statements in the morning pa
pers respecting the Brown family, we aro inlormed
that Messrs. Mitchell and Dnbasseur did not see
them npset in the boat with Mrs. Collins and oth
ers, bat on tho contrary,they were seen all stand
ing together with Mr. Pearson, who held Mrs. Al
lens infant, ou the dock of the Arctic. There was
lett on board the steamer a bsat capable of con-
people. There is a chance that Qapt.
Luoe may havs been able to launch this boat, and
navesomeol the ladies and remaining passengers.
The Europa had on board fourteen of the pas
sengers and forty-five ot the crew of the Arctic.
The purser, Mr. John Gieb, was detained at St.
1 Johns by the Consul; cneeearaan cho>c to romaic
there, and five men left the vessel at Sydney, sc
1 that thirty eight cf tbe Arctic’s men ouly arrived
in Boetoc. Captain Loitch, of tho Europa, gave
the party at Halifax a warm welcome, ana in
It ho Kindest manner tendered them the hospitali
ties of the ship. Tbe recollection of his kindest
will not be forgotten, if we may judge from the
heartfelt expression ot the survivors.
Mr. Twitehell, superintendent, ofthe Boston and
W orcester Railroad, a free passage to those
ofthe s«7ed who started for New York by the
land route this morning. Most of tho passengers
are in affluent circumstances, and did not avail
themselves* ot this generous offer. They expressed
much gratitude, however, so the sentiment which
dictated this g- nerosity. We believe that those ot |
the crew who went in the train, gladly accepted
Mr. Twitohell’s timely proposal.
In the Bt. Johns’ News undlander, we find some,
state ments iu regard to tbe conduct of tbe Ameri
can consul at St. Johns, Mr. Newman. The Intel
ligence of the disaster was received at St. Johnson
Saturday, and for th-eo days, although earnestly
solicited, the American consul took no measures
tor the relief of the Arctic, or those of her passen
gers who were drifting in boats! The steamer
Cleop.'tiit md tho steamer Victoria arrived in port
on Mo.iday, and tho Merlin on Tuesday, ai.d nmtb
*r tha oousul or G 'vernor Hamilton wo «ld assume
the responsibility of sending them in seirch of the
hosts. Some members rs tho Assembly took up
the matter, and offered to gnarautes the expense
of sending the steamers on the search, when the
Governor agreed to back the consul, but the ghost
ft responsibility still stared that worthy in the
face., the result w:-» that the consul sent a
yacht on the search.
In pleasant contrast to thia conduct is the ac’ion
of Mr. Chandler White, atrent of the le ! egraph i
company, who despatched the steamer Victoria on
the search, with orders to continue the search just |
as I'm* as they thought proper, he assumiug 1 11
expense.

Very truly, yours, Chandler White.
On tho other hand, tho St. Johns Ledger states &
that “no expense has been spared in the search, j
and the exertions of Mr. NewmaD, the American e
Consul, are worthy of all praise.” And the Bob- b
ton Journal says: r
Mr. Johnson, one of the passengers by the I
wrecked steamer City of Philadelphia, who arriv- h
ed from St. Johns, via Halifax in the Europa, states C
that to the best of his knowledge the American e
consul did exert himself in behalf of tho suffercs t
by the Arctic. Ho is not acquainted with all the A
facts in the case, but ho was informed that tho r
consul applied immediately to tho agent of the p
telegraph company to charter the steamer Victoria, a
but was met by a reply that he could only have
the steamer by paying SSOO per day. Deeming the
sum exorbitant, he immediately despatched a sail
ing vessel in quest of the Arctic, and the agent ot
tho telegraph company afterward sent out the Vic
toria upon his own responsibility.^
Mr. Johnson that Mr. Newman exerted
himself to tho utmost to provide for tho sufferers n
of the wrecked steamer City of Philadelphia, and
to r.ave property. He waa also informed by the
survivors ot the Arctic, with whom he esmo from
Newfoundland, that the consul had treated them ”
in the most humane manner, paid every aitent>on
to them, supplied them with clothing, and promo
ted their comfort in eveiy way in his power. Our
informant tbin> s that the report to the discredit
of the consul, which appeared in the St. Johns
paper, originated f om personal ill will.
Mr. Johnson states that the fienoh steamer Ves
ta, which was in contact with tho Arctic, reported J;
upon arrive l at St. Johns, N. F., tbut the Arctic .
had run into her, and had sailed away witnout ?
stopping to ascertain what damage was done—bid- j
ding them good bye and cheering. This report 1
c rea t-id much feeling and prejudice at St. Johns, J
and tho survivors ot the Arctic were ret used ae 1
commodution at tho principal hotel in the placa
(French.)
Much oredit is due to the American consul at 1
Sydney, C. 8., who, upon hearing of the disaster J
! hastened to Bt. Johns, and tendered every asßiet- 1
ance. *
The fact Is that there ar3 bo many discrepancies ;
in the various statements, not only as to the con- j
d ct of the American consul, but us to the fate of J
Mrs. Collins and hor family, and other passengers, J
that it D useless to attempt to reconcile them, and
it is difficult to decide which to believe.
One of the second class passengers who wm
saved, declared at Mr. Collin’s office this morning 1
that he s*tw Mrs. Collins in one of the boat* which
put off from the wreck. Hope, therefore, still re- '
mains in respect to that lady.

Qusbeo, Oct. 14, 1854.
s. K. CoLLilTß —Lteir Sir< It becomes my painful
duty to inform you of the total loss of the .‘-learner
Arctic, under my command, with your wife, son
and d&ogtiwr.
The Arctic aalled from Liverpool Wednesday,
tho gffvk cf September, at 11 n. »n.. with 2>B paa-
Fttugers, and about 150 of r. crew. Not dog or
•recial note occurred during tho passage until Wed
needay, 37th, when, at noon, wo wore on tho
Backs, in la’. 45 4>3 North, and lon 62 West, steer
ing West, by compass. Tho went nor had b *cn
fogrry during the day; generally a distance of half
to three quartern of a mile coaid be seen, but at
interrelb of a few minutes a very dense log, fol
lowed oy being sufficiently ciear to 3ee one or two
miles. At noon I left the deck for the purpose ©f
working out the position of the ship. In about
fifteen minutes 1 heard the cry of “hard starboard”
from the officers of the dock. 1 rushed on deck,
and had just got out when 1 felt a cra.-U forward,
and at the moment saw a steamer under the star
board bow, and at the same moment she struck
against our guards and passed astern cf us. The
bows of the strange veteei seemed to bo iiteraliy
cut or crushed off, for full ten feet, an i seeing that
she must probably sink in a few minutes, and ta
king a hasty g ance at our own =bip and believing
we were comparatively uninjured, my first impulse
wsh to endeavor to save the lives of those on hoard
tht sinking vessel.
The boutp ware cleared, and the first officer and
fix men ioft with one boat, when it waa found
I* that oar own ship wa.* leaking tearfully. The en
gines were Bet to work, being instructed to put on
the steam puraps, and the four deck pumps wot.
worked by the passengers and crew, and the ship
1 headed for th** lend, whioh I judged to be about ;
1 50 miles distant. I was compelled to lea r a my i
with the first officer aa-: ersw to ukv -j ia of j
} themselves. Several ineffectual attempts were
I made to stop tho leak, by getting sails over the
bows, and finding the leak gaining on us very
fast, notwithstanding all our very powerful efforts 1
of keeping her free, 1 resolved ’o get the boats rea
ready, as many ladies and children placed iu them
lb possible. But no toouer had the attempt been
made than the firemen and others rushed into
hem, in spite of opposition. Beeing this state of
> things, I ordered the boats astern obe kept iu
readiness UDtil order could be restored, when to
my dismay, I saw them out the rope in the bow
and soon disappear astern in the fop. Auotner
boat wa? breken down by persons rushing at the
davits, and many were precipitated into the sea
' and drowned. This oocurred while I had been
engaged in getting the starboard guard boat
ready, and placed the second officer in charge.
When the same fearful scene as with the first boat
was being enacted, men leaping from the top ot
tho rail, twenty feet, pushing and maiming thot-o
who were in the boat. I then gave orders to the
second officer to let go and row after the ship,
keeping under or near the stern, to be ready to
take on board women and children, as soon a* the
fires were out and engines stopped. My a'ten tion
was then drawn to the other quarter boat, which I
found breken down, but hanging by one tackle.
A rush was made for her also, and some fifteen
got in and cut the tackie, and were soon out of
sight. I found that not a seamen was left on
beard or carpenter, without any tools to assist ue
in building a raft, as our oJy hope, and the only
officer left was Mr. Dorian, the third mate, who
sided me with the asriaiance of many of the pas
sengera, who deserve great praise tor their cool
ness and energy, in doing aii in their powe r up to
the very latent moment before the ship sank.
The chief engineer, with a part of his assistants,
had taken o«r smallest deck boat, and before the
ship went down pulled away with about fifteen
persons. ’Wo had succeeded in getting the fore
and main yard and two top gallant yards over
board, and such other email apars and 'materials as
we could collect. When I was fully convinced
that the ship must go down i.a a very sbor time,
and that not a moment waa to be lost In getting
the spam lashed t.Cgctncr to form a raft, to do
which it becauas necessary to g t the life boat, qnx
°&IJ remaisin-r oOBt, into the This b i* ?

j for another piece, finding that it could not support
so many.
The others remained, until they wore one by one
rel ovf-d by deatn. We stood in water, at a tem
poral are of 45 degrees, up to our knees, aud fre
quently the sea broke directly over us. We soon
-eparated from our frier d to other parts of the
wreck, aud passe l the night, each one of us cx
peeling every hour would be oar last. At, last, the
wished for moruiog came, surrounded with dense
fog. not a living soul to be seen but our own party,
seven now being left. In the course o» the morn
iug we saw some water casks and other things be
longing to the ship, but nothirg that we coaid get
or afford . s any relief. Our ratt was rapidly set
tling a*jt absorbed the water. About noou, Mr.
S. M. W codrnif, of New Y> rk, was relieved by
death. All the others now to suffer very
severely for want of water, except Mr. George F.
Allen aud my*ei/. In that respect we were very
much favorod, although wo hard not a drop on the
raft. The day continued foggy, except, just at
noon, a* near as we could judge. We had a clear
horizon for about half an hour, and nothing ocnld
bo seen but water and sky. N ight came on, thick
and dreary, with our minds made up that neither
ot us would again sac the light of another da\, for
very soon three more of cur suffering party w re
relieved by death, leaving Mr. Alien, a young man
and myself. * J h
~t ' lo :: exhausted, I now -at down for
the first time, about 8 o’clock iu the ovouing, on
! a trunk which providentiailv had been found on
the wreck. In this way, 1 slept a little throughout
the night, and became somewhat refreshed. About
an hour before daylight—now Friday, the 28th—
we saw a vessel’s light near to ue. We all three
of ue exerted ourselves to the utmost- of our
strength in hailing untlt»wa became o.uito exhous
ted. In about a quarter ot an hour, the light dis
appeared to the east of us. Soon after da Wight a
hark hove ill sigh: to the Northwest, tho fog hav
ing lighted a little, steering apparently for us, b.~,t
in a short time she appeared to have changed her
course, and again wo were doomed to disappoint
mint. Tot liVo, hopes that scuio or onr rerpvty !
-i ls 'tors might have been seen and rescued by
them. Shortly after, we had given up all hopos
of being rescued by tbe birk, a ship was discover
ed to tho oast of us, steering directly for us. We
now watched her with the most intense anxiety.
As she approached, the wind changing, cause i
hor to change her course several points. About
noon they fortunately discovered a man on tho
raft nearthem, and aucceeded in saving him bv
the mate jumping over the side and making a rone
fast around him, when be was got on board sate
Iv. 'lbis man saved proved to be a Frenchman,
who was a pßssenger on board tbe steamer with
which wa came in collieion.
He informed tho Captain that others were near j 1
on pieces of wreck, and going alcit, besswusand ! ,
-hree otlierß. Wo were the first to winch ihe boat !

Fho next wna Mr. James Smith, of Mississippi, u ,

Bof oar fireman. Tho ship proved to be the Cam
brio, of this port, (Q iehee,) from Glasgow bound
to Montreal, Capt. John Uusseli, who ccmtnmand
ed the burk Jessie Stevens, arid was. rescued by
Oapt Nye, ol the Pacific. Ot Captain Russell ii
would be soarcoly possible to say enough in his
praise for the kind treatment every one of ns
have received from him during the pine wo have
boon on board ris ship. His own comforts he has
given r.p In every respect, tor our relief. Tho
R iv. Mr. Walker aud iady, and anothergomiou an
who ware passengers by the Cambria, have been
"neeiaieg in their endeavors to promote our com
fort.
To them and to all on board we shall ever owe a
defctot gratitude for their auhonnded kindness to
us. From tha Frenchman who was picked un, we
learned that the steamer with which we oamu in I
collision was the screw summer Vesta from Rt. :
Pierre, bound from and belonging lo G’secvl.’lo,
France. An near as wo could learn, the Vesta ww
steering East, South East, and waa crossing our
course, two points, with aii eai'n net, wind west by j

Paper Making. J
Few persons have an adequate idea of the im- ,
niense amount of capital and labor omployed in ,
the manufacture of paper; and it is ouly by a ro
course to figures and reliable statistics, that a just
conception c.f tho nature aud extent of the busi- c
ness can be approximated. The rate at which tho t
consumption of the nrticlo increa-os, has tor out- c
stripped the most extravagant anticipations that I
could have been entertained, and haS openod the r
eyes of manufacturers t.o the startling fact, that tbe i
source from which they have derived the mater id c
r.ccesßary for tho manufacture of paper, and which \
they had regarded os un'ailing has been compare- c
tuely exbaustod—to snob an extent, at least, as to c
render them no longer able to keep paoo with tho t
demand. Rags which, at one time, proved a sor- t
iouß incumbrance lo house keepers, and wore
thrown out with tbe daily offal, are now becoming t
not only sought after, bat an article esteemed al- c
most precious- ,
This state of things had been foreseen ; and tho t
proprietors of the London Times knowing the es- t
too ,on advance in the price of paper growing cut t
of a scarcity of rags, would have in diminishing i
their profits, offered a reward of $25,000 for tho t
discovery ot a cheap and perfect substitute for i
rags as a material for tho manufacture of pane.-.
Many experiments have already been fried, and
though, os yst, without entire success, we may
still reasonably hope, in view of what has already
been accomplished, that ultimately tho desired ;
result will bo attained. What man has done in the !
po3t, inspiras tho belief, that his genius is eapsbls
ofiorther and greater achievements, that indeed
whatever, his physical and intolleotual wants may
crave as essential to the grand progressive move
ment in favor of the true interests of his race, will
in time bo procured, and brought within tbe
oohievemeut of science and art. Wo trust that the
cheek experienced in meeting the demand for r,a
per, will soon be removed, as g-'ost inoonvemooco
tire already been suffered, particularly by the
Press. Muny proprietors of uewrpiipers have been
compelled to reduce the sixa ol their sheets, »nd
ill some instances to suspend the publication ot
their paper altogether. VVe know of no mo-s per
ilous undertaking in a pecuniary point of view,
than to attempt at this time, the ertiibiiahment of
r. newspaper.
Wc have at present iu the United States, 760
paper md!», whioh, it has been estimated, manu
facture 270,000,000 pounds of paper a year, valued
at $27,001,000. Allowing that'one and a half
pounds of rags are required to make one pound of
paper, we have *)5,0n0.000 pounds of rag.s con
sumed in one year, w hich, at the rate of tour c-Lite
a pound, are worth $16,200,000; and if we add to
this the cost of manufacturing, which, with inter
est and fixed capital, insurance, expenses, <ftc.,
has been found to be $-1,050,000, and the cost es
labor, making an aggregate of $25,485,000, as the
actual LXpeudi ure, in inauatccturing paper worth
$27,000,000, wo find “the metaure of profit by no
means unreasonaole; aud whies might even bo
considered small, were not the raanuraoturer com
paratively fieofrom those sudden chauges that
tifuct the manufacture of cloth and metals.” I* a
substitute for rags be discovered, which will keep
the supply of uapor fully up to the demand, we
can readily perceive, that a tremendous impetus
will be given to the maufocture.
Hancock Eais.—We were present last week at l
tho Guttle Show and Fair, held at Sparta by the '
cit'nns cf Hancock oour.;.y, and were altogether ,
highly gratified ut tho evidences of industrial skih
aDd pro. ress which wo witnessed cn this occasion, j
; OM Hancock has taken the lca-i heretofore in Ag- j
. ricultiiral improvement, and this exhibition show
ed most couclusive.y tho n-ility and benefit of well 1
! organized coen'y essneUtiona. Tbe “hew of co.ta '
Il was the beat wc havo ever tern at any exhibifton ’
ia thia State. A tew good cows and other neat !
cattle we also notice Tbe Ladies’ Department j
was very creditably represented by fine specimens !
of ornamental neoJiework, counterpanes, bread, !
butter, preserves, picki..s, vegetables;
every thing which conduces to tasteful and corn
fortabie housewifery.
The Address ot the Hon. Linton W. Stepheus,
before the Association, on Friday, was exceeding
Iy appropriut,, and listened to with pleasure by a
very large audience. There was quite a large at
tendance of visitors to the Fair tro.-o Hancock and
the adjoining counties, and tho occasion paused est
very pleasantly.
We are pleased to learn tha’ this piODeer county
in Agricultural improvement, has determined lo
re-organize the old Hancock Farmers’ Club, and
will continue with unremitting zeal its effoits in
the good cause of industrial progress. —Southern

The following advice of Dr. Holmes is addressed
to absentees from Darien * nd vicinity:
As 1 stand in the relation to many of you as
fa ily physician, and to all of you as friend and
neighbor, 1 advise that nono ot you wili r turn
until informed by friends at home of a frost and
settl.id cool weather. I regret to inform you that
we have Vrien deeply rffi-.cted ; many familiar faces
gone, and now cases ofthe dread disease have de
muuded my attention 10-day. Tho poor of our
town have been sorely visited, but the slender re
scarce* of our City Council have boon Btreughten
ed by the liberality of her citizens home, and b\
yourselves through rue as requested; aud while
v/e h"ve had sickness and death we havo known
uo want.
Yellow Fever at Beaus jut, 8. C.—Tho epi
dome from which tnisciiy, Charleston and Au
guata have lately suffered so terribly has, we uc
de/stand, broken out wit • great malignancy at
Beiulort. It is reported that h«e or six have al
ready died of it, and that u number of others are
iow sick—among them the principal phyrdciso
ct the place. Being advised of tbo suffering nre
vailing there, Mayor Ward engaged the services
of Dr. Bulloch and three experienced hurtes, and
desi atehed them to the relief of the sick. They
left in the steamer Afotamura (chartered to convoy
them,) at ball-past 12 o’clock, Monday.
Wo need hardly say that tho prompt, action of
the Mbyor will meet the hoa ty approval of onr
city. Never was a community under i renter obli
gations io allovialo tbe sufferings within its reach
than is this. What wo have oorr.o and the kind
ness which we received during the period of our
great distress prej are us to sympathise with those
in like idll’ction, aud rhould, and doubtless does
dispose the peoplo and authorities of Savannah to
minister to their necessities.
Binco the foregoing was written, the Molamora
has returned, bringing back the nnr-es as not
needed, but leaving Dr. Bulloch. We understand
that five oat of tho 7»ix cu-es ttrrt taken terminated
fatally; though the number of sufferers i» not bo
grea a* was represented. We hope, with the
change in the weather, tho dD-oase will disappear
from Beaufort, a* from other pluces. —Savannah
