Tbc arrival of the steamer Black Warrior at New
York on Monday from New Orleau* ami Havana via
Norfolk, iwhere sue put in, iu. distress after tacoun
taring a violent gale and using her furniture. Arc.,
tor fuel, was announced yesterday. The following
statement of one of her crew shows the gale to have
beau a most terrific one :
When the Black Warrior sailed from New Orleans
the weather was very cold for that latitude About
ten o’clock on the night of the 14th, when the B W
sailed for Havana, a severe storm set in. but no ire
nous difficulty was experienced till Sunday, the 18th
mst., when a heavy snow storm commenced. It
began about noon, arid when night fret in the storm
had increased ten told ; the sea was running moun
tains high and silk-d with immense cakes of ice
About half past ten o'clock the maintopmact

ticed bad already been carried on here bv the ice.
We at last succeeded in reaching Fort Monroe or
Old Point Comfort, where we obtained a few tons of
coal and the the like of wood.
On the morning of the 18th the piston rod was
cracked and the fire had to be put out to have it
repaired. This occupied some time, and it was
so fixed that it lasted till we reached Old Point
Comfort, where it again got out of order, and was
finally repaired so as to run safe till we got to this
left Point Comfort on the night of 24th inst.,
making very good time and meeting with no ice
from Cope Henry to Barnegat.
The passengers were very cjuieL during the
entire sf<-rm, and the captain did not leave his
poet from the time the storm first came up until we
reached New York. I don t think be slept half an
hour the entire time.
The New York Express thus describes the appear
auce of the steamer on her arrival at that port
The main-top-mast was gone, but the main-mast
remained The top-mizzeu mart was also gone. It
had been cut down for fuel. The seats around the
promenade deck, together with all movable wood
work, bad been torn up and burned. The railings
were also partly gone, and the larboard wheel-house
presented a most disastrous sight. It had been
most entirely carried away, but little remaining of
it but the forward side. The wheel was thickly
covered with ice, so that it seemed almost impossi
ble to turn it. Home of the woodwork around the
forward deck had also been torn up.
On descending into the forward cabin or dining
saloon, it presented a most distressing appearance.
Not a state room could be seen ; all had been de
stroyed for firewood In one end of the saloon were
a dozen or two bales of cotton, which had been ta
ken out from below , beds and bedding lay here and
there, while trunks and the like were piled up in va
rious parts of the cabin. Ahu ge quantity of small
boxes were found m attered about, and all that re
mained of the state-rooms was the stationary wash
stands; here the wood work around them had most
all been destroyed. A large quantity of oranges lay
scattered around the floor; the boxes had been used
for fuel, and many thousands of the fruit were
throw n over board
The state room situated along the passage way
leading from the forward and after cabins, v < re also
destroyed, while in the ladies’ cabin the strips for
the berths and all the loose wood work had been
burned. The partitions around th<* engine room
aud stairway, together with all the partitions below,
were consumed, and most of the dining extension
tables of heavy rosewood were also sacrificed to
the flames. The whole bhip presented a scene of
dire destruction, confusion ami disorder.
Capt. Smith looked almost as black as the ste-un
er, and showed that be had not been idle during the
trying passage. After the nteamei had got within
the Hook, anleeting was called by the passengers,
and a series of resolutions were adopted, compli
menting Captain Smith in the highest terms for his
uoble conduct dur.ng the terrible voyage ; also for
his experience as a seamen, aud expressing the be
lief that it was t hrough his untiring exertions that
they were saved from a watery grave.
There was some few lady passengers aboard, and
they seemed as if they could not say too much in
favor of Captain Smith. The crew also speak in the
highest terms of him, as do also his fellow officers. —
Itis understood that the passengers intend present
ing him with a beautiful present, as a token of their
high esteem.
The Purser in his report, says :
W« were furnished with fuel by the quarter
master at Fort Monroe and the inhabitants <»t Old

officers, to Mr Jett, the lighthouse keeper and many
citizens of the place for the promptness in render

The papers record a number of serious railroad
acoideuts, caused by the action of the Intense cold
od the non of the machinery or track The Lan
caster Daily Express of Monday contains tin* fol
lowing :
A most terrible accident occurred, on (lie Harris
burg railroad on Saturday afternoon, which result
ed in the injury of a large number of passengers—
many of them seriously. The train which left this
city about 3 o’clock proceeded on without hindrance
until within about four miles of Middletown, when
a rail broke, and after running about titty yards off
the track the passenger car went over an embank
moot about thirty feet high, rolling over and over,
and landing on the level with a terrible crash. We
have been able to learn the names of only a few of
the injured.
Mr John Garvin, of Keamstown, had both his
legs broken and his bock severely injured His in
juries are so severe that he is not expected to sur
vive.
Mr John C. Zell, of this city, was the next se
verely injured. He was dreadfully burned about
the head ami face by the stove upsetting in the
overturning of the oar and the hot cools falling upon
him. He was fortunately very thickly dressed,
or bin injuries must have been fatal. He had two
eoats and a shawl on, the latter oeing literally burn
ed up, ami his overcoat was riddled in holes by tin*
fire.
Mr. Henry Hayes, late Jof the Bellefont Watch
man, was severely injured about the head and
arms.
Col. James Cameron, a brother ot Senator Came
ron, and Mr ltussell. president of the Lewiston
Hank, were also among the injured.
Win. Foltx, the dispatcher of the railroad receiv
ed a very severe sprain in one ot his ankles.
Kirk Few, anon of the superintendent of the
Harrisburg and Lancaster Railroad, was slightly
wounded in the face.
A number of other passengers received slight in
juries. No blame whatever can be attached to the
officers having charge of the train at the time of the
disaster
The same paper describes a very singular accident
on the Columbia Railroad as follows :
This morning about one o’clock a frightful accident
occurred on the Philadelphia Railroad, near Chris
tiana, which resulted in the demolition of the two
passenger curs belonging to the train, and the injury
of two or three ladies who were in the rear car—one
of them seriously.
The particulars, os we have learned them from a
passenger, are as follows : The Express train which
left Philadelphia last night at eleven o’clock, came
on as far as Parkesburg, without anything of note
occurring, where they stopped to wood and water.
The train composed of a baggage cai and two pas
senger cars, was drawn by a freight locomotive, the
recent storm having disarranged the schedule which
assigns particular locomotive sto each train. After
they left Parkersburg, aud ha< as our
mformAut thinks, not more than a mile, the passen
gers interred from a peculiar motion of the cars that
tney were est the track, and it was subsequently
discovered that this inference was correct.
The conductor drew the rope attached to the sig
nal bell so violently that it broke, but the engineer
either did not understand the signal, or paid no at
tention to it
On the train went, whizzing over the snow track,
now and then thumping overall exposed cross-tie
on, past Penningtonville, round the curve ami over
the bridge at Christiana, until about half a mile this
side, the ladies’ car became detached and capsized.
On still the steam horse galloped, ex identlv pleased
at the feat of railroading without the use of rails,
aud no doubt in love with the driver, who thus gave
him loose rein without ever looking back to see
whether his train kept up until, about half a mile
from the point where the ladies, car became detach
ed, the second car also went over, breaking the
coupling, and smashiug the rear end of the car all
to pieces
The meet singular feature of the accident is that
no lives were lost and but few persons injured. One
account states that but cue lauv was injured, an
other that there were throe of them—but the won
der is that all were not maimed or killed. The truck
wheels and other fragments of the broken cars
were scattered along the track for the distance of a
mile, the cars being almost entirely demolished.—
When it was first discovered that the oars were off
the track, the passengers were in great terror, and
all rose to their feet ; but they passed so smoothly
over the Christiana bridge, that they concluded they
must be on the track, and had just fairly seated
themselves when the crash came upou them.
The cars, it appears, were thrown off the track
by the breakiug ot a rail, aud the train must have
run about four miles before the engineer discovered
that anything was wrong.

I Editor Chronicle \ Sentinel
I am neither Director, Stockholder, debtor or
I creditor, of the Bank of Columhu 4, and hax e
, connection with that or any other Bank, ut *
a citizen Os Columbus, and interested in oj
coaceraa it. An article in your pape* of Ute
ul*„ in reply to an inquiry of Many Suburbs
l*. attracted my notice and, r* mere juat.ee, a*k
you to give the M>* P****? to tb ‘ t f°" h * v *

X„ w Mr Editor, it is very easy for the Augusta
Hank- to refuse the b.lls of the Bank of Columbus,
Arj j it i B very easy for the Editor of the Chronicle
Sentinel to insinuate that the people of Colum
bus cannot manage a Banking franchise honestly
and fairly. It is very easy, also, to assume that
the atmosphere of Bank parlors in Columbus, has
been very pernicious to sound, legitimate and hon
est banking,” as you are pleased to express it.
1 here are reasons, I am sorry to say, that justify
you in some degree in indulging in the quip against
our city, that you have not scrupled to use, but as
those reasons exist no longer, it would appear to a
reasonable man, that it would have been better (be
lieving, as you do, that the Bank of Columbus is a
sound institution note) that all reflections calculated
to bring Columbus and its Banks, and its people,
into odium and bad repute, should have been omit
ted, in your reply to the enquiry of “Many Sub
scribers.”
It is a melancholy thing to admit, but we must
admit it, that this same town of Columbus was set
tled up by people from Bibb and Chatham, and
W ashington, and Greene, and Putnam, and Bald
win, and Warren, and Jones, and other Eastern
counties of the State, including Richmond. The
fact is no, and there is nothing to be made by deny
ing it. The descendants of your “oldest inhabi
tants’’ are here, have been here, are coming here,
and they have been ail the while, since and befoxe
the Indians left the country, giving tone to the
morals, and society, of the west of Georgia. If
Banks have broken here, your people have helped
to break them. If there has been swindling done
in Columbus, ten to one, somebody from Augusta
helped to push forward the operation. If Shin-plasters
have inundated the neighborhood, its a thousand
dollars to a pipe-stem, that the example was drawn
from certain individuals, who learned the trade in
Augusta.
I am offering no excuse for the wrongs that have
been perpetrated in the Bauking business about
tliis city. “I do not wish to extenuate,” nor do I
wish you, Mr. Editor, to “ set down aught iu ma
lice,' but I merely wish to call your attention to the
old school copy “ Evil communications corrupt good
manners.”
Having said so much, let us get to the subject:
The Bank of Columbus went into operation last
fall, (in September or October.) It was organized
properly—no Wild Cat,Owl Creek, “Breakemup,”
or “Tear-to-piecee” institution—but fairly, openly,
mid honestly, by a body of stockholders who will
compare most favorably with any that can be ex
hibited by the oldest Bank, or any other, youngest
or oldest, that has borrowed the peoples’ money in
Eastern Georgia. Since the Bank issued the first
note, and until now, every bill has been paid when
presented at the coupter, as promptly, as if the
Bank had the honor of being located in Augusta, or
Savannah, or Wall Street. Further, the Bank of
Columbus has furnished to this part of the country,
since its opening, by far the greatest part of the
silver change used, and which we could not have
commanded from any of the numerous Agencies,
with which we have been favored by our enter
prising and honest friends, from Augusta and Sa
vannah.
It may not be known to you, Mr. Editor, that we
have several Agencies of Banks iu this city— but ue
have, and they all belong to the older parts of this
State and South Carolina, where people worship
Mammon in their fashion. The Agency of the “Me
canics’ Bank,” of the “Bank of Savannah,” of the
“Bank of the State of Georgia,” of the “Union
Bank,” of the “Bank of Commerce,” of the “Bank
of Charleston,” of the “Marine Bank,” of the “Me
chanics’ Savings Bank,’’ and others, for aught I
know, are all here, endeavoring to the best of their
ability, to teach us “sound, legitimate, and houest
banking.” They are all managed by first-rate busi
ness men, who won’t lend a dollar, confound them,
unless they see a reason for it; but every one of
whom has a sword in his hand, to cut down a home
Bank, whenever he wants to, and every one of
whom has it in his power to assault the Bank of
Columbus by rushing in upon it its own bills, and
refusing any settlement with it, except in coin. —
You will see at once, Mr. Editor, what tremendous
leverage these Agendas can employ against a local
Bunk, whenever they wish to overthrow it; and
this very thing will be made, aud ought to be made,
the subject of stringent legislation, unless the
“sound, legitimate and honest banking” of Augusta
aud Savannah shall be able to prevent “a consum
mation devoutly te be wished.”
It is a very clear case, that no interior Bank can
do much, until this present system of Agencies be
done away with—and it is also equally clear, that
in a city like ours, the Agencies can at their pleas
ure embarrass, distress and perhaps bankrupt, any
local Bank that may interfere with their business,
or incur their displeasure. On this subject we must,
as the free Boilers say— agitate.
I have, already, drawn out this article to greater
length than 1 intended, but I do not think it right
to (dost* it, without a short reply tojeertain strict,
ures of yours, on Mr. W. H. Young, in reference to
his issue of what you call his, “miserable dirty,
mean-looking shiuplaster drafts.” Without re
ierring to the examples set us by a distinguished
Banker and financier, who invaded us from Angus
ta, and whose shin-plasters differed from Mr
Young’s] in this, that Young’s are paid in cash, and
the other’s are or are not as the case may be, per
mit me to say, that the proprietors of the Eagle
Manufacturing Company of Col ambus are with
drawing their notes from circulation, as fast as they
can. They issue no new ones, nor have they, since
Mr. Young became President of the Bank of Col
umbus. The Eagle Factory could not get change
from the Agencies of the Banks of Augusta and
Savannah, that were sent amongst us to supply it,
or something else, and so instead of settling with
their hands every week, in written promises to pay,
they printed them.
“ The very head aud front of their ofl'ending
Hath this extent, no more’'—
and would to God every note issued by the so-much
berated (and deservedly berated,) Banks that have
infested this side of the State, were as sure of being
redeemed upon presentation as these same shin
plasters.
We now, however, have a good Bank, whose
officers are capable, whose stockholders are able,
aud whose friends are determined to support it. It
is conducted upon the principle of “ sound, legiti
mate and honest banking,” learned after long and
disastrous experience, ami if the Augusta Banks do
not receive its bills “in payment or ou deposit,”
“ themore fools they.”
It might have been somewhat fairer if in the fling
you have made at Columbus and one of its most
valued citizens, you had given yourself the trcuble
to examine , at least, if not publish, the list of stock
holders of the Bank of Columbus. As you have not
given yourself this trouble, allow me to furnish you,
below, with a list of them. They are most of them
well known men in this community, and many are
known throughout the whole State a« sound, relia
ble, honest and prudent men ; and the Bank of Co
lumbus may safely trust itself upon the waters with
such oflicers and such a crew as it musters.

Mr. Kditor : —I see by the American papers of
our State, several correspondents are suggesting,
and others are commending, the name of the Hon.
B. 11. Hill as the next American candidate for
Governor. Now, while 1 shall concede to no other
man a higher respect for Mr. Hill, a greater admi
ration for his talents, or greater thanks for his labors
in behalf of the American party, I seriously object
to this ill-advised, hasty and useless movement upon
the part of those professing to be his friends. Be
cause with the feelings of a glorious phalanx of true
friends in Georgia, which actuate myself, I
cannot consent that so noble a defender of our
principles should be thrown into the position
of a forlorn hope, where he will be the sub
ject of the lies of “wheelbarrow politicians” and
subsidised, truckling editors of venal presses 1 as he
would be, or any other upright,'honorable man such
he! Coming out of the late contest, both public
and private, as he has so nobly done, let ua not in
ti e hour of such a’victory over the demapopucs of
Georgia seek to blur it by anything by which the
▼ ndictive—because utterly routed—cohorts of Bo
gus Democracy can pander to their corrupt passions!
Lot us “bide our time!" Besides all this—unless
it be for the'patriotic purpose of cleaning out that
Augean Stable—the State Railroad—there is no sort
of necessity that the Executive of Georgia should be
other than a third or fourth rate man, merely to
execute the laws . and we should not for a moment
desire that the brilliancy of such a man as B. H
Hill should be “caged, cribbed or confined,” even for
two years, if he could be elected, in the paltry office
of Governor of Georgia ! Hill is a young man—his
legal talents are unsurpassed—he is in the front rank
ot political debaters—has few equals and no superiors
—aud the time, “which works wonders,” is not far
distant when the American party will need his ser
vices in another and a higher walk of life ! Let us
then countenance no premature movement. “Let
u> pursue the even tenor of our way." and when the
iKopie become tired of Deviopopueism —as they cer
tainly will—when they repudiate the fog aud little %
ai.d the in p-little politicians of Georgia, as the day is
coining when they surely will, then, and not till
then, will we have need for the services of the pure

Mr. Editor :—I promised to give you some re
port of Mr. Cross’ address on Thursday night. He
entered on the work of Celportage in the service of
the American Tract Society, in Virginia, on the Ist
of November, 1844, and soon found that thousands in
the State were living unreached by any moral or
religious advantages, and that pious laymen could
be employed successfully in the work of evangeli
zation where ministers could not be obtained. By
the close of the first year be bad three men employed
in the Northwestern part of the State: at the end of
the second, seven ; at the close of the third year he
had extended the work down the Ohio to the line of
Kentucky, and had thirteen men employed. By
the end of the fourth year lie had explored nearly all
that vast region between the Alleghany mountains
and the Ohio river, and had 17 efficient men at work.
By the end of the fifth year he had on the same
ground 27 men. In the fall of 1849 he had ex
tended the work in Eastern Virginia, and had thirty
seven men at work. In 1850 he had forty -one : in
1851 he had fifty-seven at work; in 1852 he had
seventy, twelve of the number students, during
their vacations, and every year since some have
been employed. In 1853 the work was extended
into North Carolina, and had eight men employed
there and seventy-two in Virginia. In 1854, twen
ty-four in North Carolina and sixty-one in Virginia.
In 1855 thirty in N. Carolina and sixty-three in Va
In 1856 forty-one in North Carolina and sixty in Vir
ginia, and at the present time forty six in North
Carolina and sixty-four in Virginia. The usual sala.
ry of a Colporteur is $l5O per annum for their ser
vices, and SSO for the use of horse and carriage, and
their travelling expenses paid.

rican Tract Society. Indeed it was doubted wheth
er such an organization was needed in the State.—
Subsequent facts have removed all doubts in refer
ence to the matter, and it is now admitted that this
Society is doing a work in the State which cannot
be done by any other organization in reference to
the work of this Society for four years. It would
have taken one man 24 years and 2 months. Value

For the Chronicle tV Sentinel.
The State Kou<l.
To James Gardner, Esq.:
Sir —Nearly a month since, I addressed you a
letter through the Chronicle ,y Sentinel, ou a sub
ject of public interest. That letter was respectful
in its language, and contained no unreasonable re
quest. Your friends had boasted of your indepen
dence of party shackels in sustaining truth and de
nouncing error. I desired to exposecorruption, and
requested you to publish a few facts, — admitted
facts—showing the illegal and iniquitous conduct of
gome of those connected with the Western &. At
lontic Railroad. But what becomes of the boast of
your friends? The charges are made—the facta
stated—not one is denied, nor even an explanation
attempted. The truth is furnished you—it tells a
bad tale on your political friends, and you withhold
it from your readers. The picture is drawn, how
ever imperfectly, of the moral deformity of Demo
cratic officials, and you refute to let it appear in the
columns of the Constitutionalist. Surely, sir, there
is a mistake in the supposition, that some fair con
clusion might be drawn from your acts os an Edi
tor, as to the course you would probably pursue if
you were in the Executive Chair. Though you will
not now publish facts showing the dark misdeeds
of Governor Johnson and his appointees, I should
be loth to believe that you would, like him, if you
occupied the place he now disgraces, connive at and
cover up their miserable conduct. Sir, if similar
facts had been furnished you during Gov. Cobb's
• administration, would you not have published them?
From my recollection of your course then, I think
you would. I remember the “ brakes and cow
catchers.’' You will pardon me, therefore, for say
ing that I am constrained “to believe that your
too partial friends have said more in your favor
than a just regard for truth would allow.” My re
quest and your refusal arc before the people. They
will form their opinion of both. I have nothing
more to say to you on this subject, but 1 have much
to say about Governor Johnson and his official crea
tures.
In my former letter I promised to hold up to pub
lic view the palpable violations of law, and the usur
pation of power by the present Executive of the
State, and to trace to him the bad management and
wicked conduct of the officers of the State road.
Whether I succeed in this or not, those who read
my articles will judge. It is said that, “like begets
like,” and if any evidence of the truth of this ex
pression was wanting, the management of the Wes
tern Sc Atlantic Railroad, under Gov. Johnson’s
administration, abundantly furnishes it.
When Ilerschel V. Johnson entered upon the dis
charge of his official duties, he took an oath to exe
cute the office of Governor of the State of Georgia,
“ according to the Constitution and laws thereof.”
Has he done it ? Has this oath been faithfully
kept ? Ido not say that he has violated his oath,
but I propose to lay the facts before the people, and
let them decide whether I do not prove that he has.
In my judgment, he has violated the Constitution
violated the law in more than one instance, and has
done what is equivalent to putting his hand into the
treasury of the State and taking out money and giv
ing it to his protege. For less offences, bettermen
in former days were carried to the scaffold. And
all that keeps Ilerschel V. Johnson from ajust retri
bution and the merited infamy his conduct deserves
is party power. And though I cannot have the co
lumns of the Constitutionalist to &id me in laying
the facts before the whole people, I shall still en
deavor to prove all that I have charged, to the satis
faction of eTery impartial mind; —tirmly believing,
that no respectablejoumal in the State will dare at
tempt Gevemor Johnson's vindication.

The past has been an awful week here, and the
present is not very promising. Although ycur re
port of “19 persons" freezing to death here, was ex
aggerated just by an excess of 14. there has been,
and is now, a vast amount of suffering in the place.
Bituminous and anthracite coal can’t be bought by
Croesus—wood is coming in a little more plentifully
since rhe Southern Railroad track has been re-open
ed, and as the South-Side is now open to Lynch
burg, it will contribute much to the general relief
The gas has done yeoman service during this
dreadful “term, " for it not only has furnished 'igr,t
at night, but its residuary legatee, coke, has kept
many a person from freezing to death. The city
corporately, and the citizens generally, have strain
ed every nerve to alleviate suffering, but still there
must have beeu a great deal endured, that has not
yet been heard of. Every thing is at a halt, except
the sleighs which are going and , iuging from morn

be at ail surprised at any moment to see a dough

a boy, or young American. It would be amusing,

The American Racing Horses in England.
*• Pink.” the New York correspondent of the
Charleston Courier, says:
The sporting world is in despair at tbe news from
England respecting the racing horse® taken out by
Mr. Ten Broek It seems that two of the gTOoms
who have lately arrived here, say that Lecompte
and Pryoress are not in a condition to make matches
this year. The reason assigned is that their train
ing commenced too soon after their voyage across
the Atlantic. This will be a great disappointment,
not only to the American lovers of the turf, but to
Englishmen generally. The plucky venture of Mr
Ten Broek will thus Ye of no avail to him or to the
country, in adding to the reputation gained by
American horses abroad.
Accident ox the N. &. C. Rail Road. —Quite
a serious accident occurred on the N. C. R. R
on the day before yesterday, about four miles from
Murfreesboro', which is likely to create some delay
in the transportation of freights for a few dave.
The accident was occasioned by a defective car
in the freight train, running off the track, as the
train was passing over a nestle bridge. Tbe shook
to the structure was so £reat as to throw down some
or 60 feet of it, precipitating six or seven loaded
cars down 12 or 15 feet m the ruins. Three persons
were on the cars at the time they feil through, but
fortunately escaped with but little injury. Consid
erable damage was done to the freights on board.—

From the N. Y. Herald , Wednesday 27 thiinl.
Suffering at Sea.
We have obtained the following particulars of the
situation of the Princes* Louisa, mentioned in the
Herald of Sunday:
Cant. Tbo*. H.'Gifford, of die ship Patrick Henry,
whidli arrived at this port from London, England,
i on the 21st inst.. reports that he fell in with an En
glish brig, called tlie Princess Louisa, in lat. 38 48,
; and lon. 72 59, under very distressing circurastan
-1 ces. She was short of both water and provisions.—
i She had experienced very heavy weather had
been on the coast close to the Highlands of Nevasink
' five times, but was obliged to put to sea again in
{ consequence of not being able to find a pilot. I)ur
-1 ing the gale of Sunday, the 18th instant, she lost
' her fore and main yard and had her sails all torn to
I shreds.
On observing the condition of the brig. Capt. Gif
ford immediately bore towards her and boarded her,
when be found t hings, if possible, roor«- wretched
than what outside appearance warranted him in be
lieving. Eight of her crew were frost bitten, and
had been so induced from want of provisions, water
and fuel, that extensive mortification had already
set in on the feet of most of them. Os her whole
number of men not more than three of four were fit
for duty, and there were not sufficient to bend sail
on the vessel. The captain of the Princes Louisa
said they had been out of water thirty-seven days,
and were obliged to subsist on dour blended with
salt water. He had been lU7 days out the time
Capt. Gifford met him, and bad left Cadiz for New
York with a cargo of ealt and wine. It appears,
however, that their wine was used after the supply
of water failed, and that there was but a very small
quantity of it on board. The hull of the Princess
Louisa was in goo 4 condition, and although sub
ject to rough weather, had not leaked any during
the passage.
Captain Gifford at once supplied the wants of the
people with the following articles from the stores of
the Patrick Henry, viz : —Two barrels of beef, one
hundred and fifty pounds of bread, five pounds of
tea, five pr unds of coftee, fourteen pound* of sugar. ’
one cask of water, four gallons of oil, two one naif
barrels of eoal, and a lot of firewood. These stores
alone, he calculated, would feed and warm the men
for a space of ten days.
Captain Gifford having supplied their immediate
wants, and thoroughly appreciating the dangerous
state in which the people on board the brig
were placed, told the captain, for the second
time, that he thought it would be desirable, for them
to come on board the Patrick Henry, and that ho
would take them to New York. The master
that lie would prefer to remain by his vessel, aud
asked Captain Gifford “if he could not give him a
a few men to help her into port V* To this Captain
Gifford replied, “looking to the safety of his own
ship, and to the fact that he had already eight men
of his crew, with his second mate, badly Frost bit
ten. he could net spare any hands.” In addition to
this reduction in his working force, he had, when in
lon., 63 40, and lat., 42 20, supplied the brig Emma,
from Newcastle, for St. John, N. 8., with provisions
and water, and had also lost a large quantity of fresh
water during the gales on the coast.
The captain of the brig then determined to remain
where he was, observing that he thought he would
be effectually relieved in a day or two by some pass
ing steamship or other large sailing vessel, which
would not be so cramped by circumstances as the
Patrick Henry then was.
At thisperiod the thermometer stood at *28:80, and
Capt. Giflord again reviewed the condition of his
crew, and did not consider that he vgould be justified
in parting with any of them under such a state of
affairs and in such a condition ot the weather.—
However, if he had anticipated such a storm as af
terwards set in, he would have at once taken the
Louisa in tow and endeavored to bring her into
port.
When he parted from the brig she was about 06
miles southeast of the Highlands, and immediately
that Captain Hazzard, of the steamtug Wm. H.
Webb, boarded the Patrick Henry, he reported the
position of the brig to that gentleman, who said he
would go and search for her at daylight next morn
ing—an errand which Captain Gifford thinks per
haps, that he was prevented from undertaking ow
ing to the severe gale which sprung up.
The captain of the Princess Louisa desired Cap
tain Gifford, on his arrival in port, to report his
condition and procure assistance, as it would be im
possible without it to roach port. If something is
not done soon it will be impossible for him or his men
to exist more than a week in their present destitute
state- As it is six days since Captain Gifford fell in
with her, he thinks they may be found about 200
miles southeast of the Highlands.
It: was said yesterdey that the United States
Steamer Arctic would leave from the Brooklyn Navy
Yard in search of the Princess Louisa, but when
our reporter visited the yard he found that vessel so
blocked up in the ice that she could not move, and
was told that no effort would be made to get her
out more than what had been done ineffectually on
Sunday.
The United States steamship Relief left the Navy
Yard yesterday morning, in order to cruise along
the coast for vessels in distress, and it is hoped that
she may fall in with the unfortunate brig Princess
Louisa.
In two days from this morning all the provisions
which Captain Gifford put on the brig would be ex
hausted under the most favoiable circumstances.
Shiepshead Bay, L. 1., Jan. 26,1857.
To tbe Editor of the Herald: —ln your pa
per of this date, under the head of “Our Long Island
Correspondence,” appears a letter dated from this
place in reference to the sloop Freedom, now ashore
in tliis vicinity. This letter entirely misrepresents
the facts, and is evidently dictated by malice ; and
I therefore ask space truly to state the facts.
So soon us the sloop was seen with the signal of
distress flying, I immediately despatched Frederick
Lunday, Francis Greenwood and James Jenison,
men employed by me for that purpose, to her relief
It was impossible to launch the lifeboat on account
of the ice, and they proceeded in a small boat down
the bay and out of the inlet towards the sloop, until
they were stopped by the ice, Greenwood then, at
the imminent peril of his life, crossed the ice on toot,
sevaral times breaking through it, until he reached
the vessel. He alone boarded her and ascertained
her name, and found that she had been deserted, no
one being on board. The party then returned to
the shore, it being out of their power to relieve the
vessel.
Two of the Colwells, (but not Augustus,) together
with Fagan, followed after my boat; but neituerof
them rendered any aid to my party, nor boarded
the sloop, nor, so far as I know, hazarded their lives.
You may judge, therelore, what foundation there
is for any imputation upon me, or bragging by them
as well aa of the motive which actuated the false
statement, and whence it originated.
J. Tappen,
Superintendent of Boat House No. 2.
Whitestone. L. 1., Jan. 24th.—The schr. Sarah
Ann, of Philadelphia, came on shore at our place,
near Whitestone, East river, in a galepf wind, the

Marine Disaster*.
Safety of the Ship Bowditch. —We learn
from Captain Gardiner that the ship previously re
ported ashore on the south side of Nantucket is
the Bowditch, laden with cotton, from New Orleans
for Boston. She has been got off from the beach,
and has a boat’s crew and pilot now on board of
her. The ice ie so thick that she cannot move un
der canvas.
Total Loss of the Bark Brightman.— The
bark Brightman, Captain Pearman, of London, was
totally lost while on a voyage from St. Stephen sto
London. By the arrival of the ship Alice Thorn
dyke atthis port, we are in receipt of the particu
lars relating to the disaster. Captain Sleeper ot the
A. T. makes the following report in relation to the
matter :—Ship Alice Thorndyke, of South Thomas
ton, Sleeper, Sunderland eighty days, with coal, to
R W. Trundy. Passed the Downs November /.
Had heavy westerly gales up to Nov. 26. Dec. 2,
tremendous sea running and blowing a complete
hurricane, the wind hauling suddenly from W. toN.
W. brought the sea on the port quarter ; found that
we had shifted cargo. At 4 P. M., the gale in
creased ; thought it advisable to get her before the
wiud. as we were in danger of losing our masts. At
9 P. M. gbt her before the wind, the sea making a
complete breach over her, and washing everything
moveable from the deck—glass 28 3-10. 12 o’clock,
midnight, weather more moderate—glass raising:
took in weather clue of main topsail and hove too
under the starboard tack. Sunday, Dec. 14, lat.
36 8, lon. 48 at 8 A. M. saw a bark to the windward
running down for us : at 9 A. M. spoke her : proved
to be the bark Brightman, of London, from St. Ste
vens, bound to London with a cargo of deals, water
ogged ; decks swept, bulwarks all gone, planks off
the stern, ports of the poop open. We lowered our
boat and took the captain and ten men from her,
the chief mate being washed overboard ; were 14
days on the wreck, and had nothing to eat but raw
meat, and what rain water they could catch.
A Ship and a Bark seen in Distress.— By the
arrival of the schooner Wave (Joline master) trom
Washington, N. C., we are in receipt of news which
will in all probability go to prove the loss of a ship
and a harK. Capt. Joline says that on the 25th
inst., off Chincoteague, passed a bark, dismasted
and abandoned, fast in the ice ; could not learn her *
name ; 26th, lat. 39 43, lon. 74 40, fell in with the
wreck of the pilot boat No. 4, the Hildah B. Hale,
of the New Jersey Pilot Assocatiou, dismasted,
with her bottom out and both sides stove in—a per
fect wreck; took from her mainsail, mainbcom,
main rigging, &c. (She was run into and sunk last
November by brig Addy Swift ; in the late gale she
probably worked out her bottom, and so came to
the surface.) 27th, off Absecom, passed a large
ship, dismasted, appeared to be abandoeed ; could
not ascertain her name.
The Brig Wanderer—Vessels in Distress. —
The brig Wanderer (of Westport, Me.,) McCarty,

disasters as the result of the late severe storm.—
There went ashore on the Horse Shoe two large
ships, names unknown. The light ship at Willough
by’s Point broke her moorings and is now ashore on
Cape Henry beach. The York Spit light boat has
also broke her moorings, and was luffed to sea by
the ice. On Thursday, when last seen, she was
standing N. E. from Cape Henry, and was at the
time well out.
On Little Island, the schooner Michael Hendrew

emigrant ship in distress. In the late dreadful storm
She met with the loss of all her sails and spars. She
has landed one hundred and fifty of her passengers
at the fort at that point. She is bound toB .ltimore.
The weather has moderated gradually since Sun
day night, and although the river is still frozen over
—forming, in fact, the only communication between
the two cities—l hardly think it will remain so long.
They have already commenced breaking up the
ice in the harbor, and if the weather continues as
mild as it is to-day they will have very little diffi
culty in “ making a finish of it.”
Tlie Mails by the Illinois.
Our files by the Illinois from California, the Pa
cific Coast, Central America, &.C., contain some in
teresting news, which we subjoin :
From California. —The amount of gold export
ed from San Francisco in 1856 was $56,691,434,
against $45,182,631 in 1855. The sum of $39,765,-
291 was sent to New York, $8,666,289 to England,
and $1,308,852 to China.
. The export to England in 1856 of $3,500,000 more
of gold than in 1850 leads to the inquiry as to its
cause. A portion of the amount was, doubtless,
foreign capital, withdrawn in consequence of tlie
suddenly acquired high value of money in Europe
and the insecurity of investments here. Nearly a
million more of money was sent to China in 1856
than in the preceding year. This is owing to there
having been large amounts of dollars aud doubloons
received from Mexico during the past six mouths
for trans-shipment to China for English account.
The exports of articles other than specie from
California in 1856 amounted to $1,270,514. It is
somewhat remarkable that the exports other than
of treasure from San Francisco have been greatest
to Australia. They consist mostly of cereal pro
duce.
The San Francisco mint coined last year S2B 524 -
834, principally in gold coin.
Tnere arrived at the port of San Francisco last
year 62 steamers, 209 ships, 95 barques, 39 brigs,
54 schooners. The clearances were 91 steamers,
176 ships, 132 barques. 61 brigs, and 221 schooners.
The heaviest snow storm ever known in San
Francisco—if not in fact the only one—occurred on
Monday, the 29th ult. The snow fell for an hour or
two, and covered the summits of the hills adjacent
to the city. The Contra Costa range of mountains
were covered several inches deep.
The Fourth District Court has ordered a dividend
of two cents on the dollar to be paid to the creditors
of Adams & Co. from the funds in the hands of the
receiver.
There were seven thousand turkeys sold in San
Francisco for Christmas dinners.
There were 63 fires in the city during 1856 ; loss
$105,980, less than during any previous year since
Under tlie present charter the expenses of the city
government of San Francisco have been decreased
$725,937 in six months.
Nathan Cottle was hanged in Amador county
lately for the murder of R. S. Cole in January last.
The Los Angelos Star of the 13th ult., says : The
troops so long expected arrived here this week.
Seven companies of the first dragoons, from the Rio
Grande, inarched for the pacific division. Four
companies, under the command of Maj. Steen, took
post at Tenson, namely: Major Carlton’s, Captain
Davidson’s, Capt. Northrup’s and Capt. Ewell's.—
One company, Capt. Radford’s, under Lieut. Mer
cer, took post at San Diego, and two companies
under Major Blake, take post at Fort Tejon. Tha
following officers are attached to the two latter
compauies. Major Blake, Major Grier, Capt. Whit
tlesee, Lieut. Ogle, Adjutant; Lieut. Magruder,
Quartermaster; Lieuts. Gregg, Williams and Pen
der. The companies encamped on Sunday last near
the mission, where they remained for a couple of
days. They then started for their destination at
Fort Tejon, by San Fernando, without coming into
the city.
The revolution in Sonora is just fairly beginning.
I)on Maduel Gandara had gone to tlie city of Mt-x
ica—his brother, Jesus Gandara, remaining in
command of the revolutionary forces in Sonora.—
A , Syope, on the Rio de Sonora, in an engagement
between the revolutionists and tlie Augilar party,
twenty Mexicans were killed.
A company of U. S. dragoons, commanded by
Lieut. Mercer, lias arrived at San Diego from the
Atlantic States, having crossed overland. It will
remain (luring the winter of San Diego.
A letter from the Arizona copper mines on the
Gadsden purchase says : “We are gettu g along
at the mines first rate, under the new administration
of affairs. We have about two hundred tons of
ore out, and the mine continues to increase in rich
ness as we work it.
From Australia.— Melbourne papers to the
31st of October have been received at Panama.
From the gold mines the news is favorable- The
Bendigo Advertiser states that at Epsom rich
mines had been discovered, and claims have been
taken, extending three miles in one continuous di
rection. The sinking varies from sixty-five to sev
enty feet deep, and as much as a pound weight to
the tub has been obtained.
From Adelaide, we learn that Dr. Baruh is said to
have discovered antharacite coafron the lands of the
Soutn Australian Company.
The project for a direct railroad line from Mel
bourne to Sydney, lias, so far, met with the appro
val of both governments, that it has been deter
mined to construct a railroad along this route.
From Central America.— We have files of the
Panama Star and Herald and Aspinwall Courier to
the 19th inst. inclusive.
The steamship Columbus arrived at Panama from
Punta Arenas on the 10th inst. By this arrival we
have the Costa Rican version of the success of the
expedition which resulted in the capture of Walk
er’s posts at Serapiqui aud Fort St. Carlos. It does
not differ materially from that already published.
In relation to the present chances for Walker the
Panama Star and Ilerald thus speculates :
“It needs no very prophetic spirit to foresee that
if the Central American allied forces follow up the
late important advantages gained by the Costa Ri
ca army on the .river San Juan, the career of Mr.
Walker in Nicaragua must be very soon brought to
a close, aud the foreign influence that has so long
been uppermost will cease to dominate in the inter
nal affairs of that unfortunate republic. Hemmed
in on every side by superior numbers, by men fight
ing for their dearest national rights aud liberties,
and flushed with recent successes, with a small
force harassed by perpetual watchfulness, enfeebled
by sickness, enervated by an unhealthy climate,
aud cut off from all means of receiving further rein
forcements or supplies, the career of Walker is, in
all human probability, run, and if he escapes with
his life, it will only be to retire from the position his
‘vaunting ambition’ or his want of sense madly
urged him to aspire to.”
Affairs in New Granada appear to be in rather an
unsettled position. A letter trom Carthagena, da
ted the 6th inst. says :
We have had here a political farce on the 31st
December, played by two contending governors of
the province. The two parties were much excited,
well armed, and determined to support, by force,
the authority of their respective chiefs. They were
on the eve of a collision, when Governor Jiminez
resigned provisionally and submitted the question
of the legality of the election to the decision of the
Supreme Court. On the first the temporary Gov
ernor, Juan Antonio Calvo was installed, and all is
now quiet. The impression, however, is that a revo
lution is a tout to break out; tending to form a fed
eral government, and to upset the Ospina aurninis
tration.
A report was in circulation at Panama, but not
generally credited, that on the 6th instant Ventura
Soliz and Chano Jiminez were shot at Pese, for the
murder of Padre Franco, and that immediately after
the execution an insurrection broke out in the dis
trict, in which eeveral parties were* shot on both
sides.
Hon. J. E. Morse, U. S. Minister, arrived at Car
thagena on the 2bth of December, and left the next

From Guayaquil wo learn that a reduction had
been made on the duty on foreign flour from $7.50

started from Guayaquil for the interior on the 6th
nit., on their scientific expedition. The President
purposes sending a commission of officers of the na

From Oregon. —We have advices from Oregon

Nov. 28th, was appropriately celebrated.
The American whale ship Nauticom, 372 tons, of

January 23,1857. $
Messrs. Editors: —We are seldom visited by a
more severe snow storm than that which commenced
here last Saturday night, the 17th inst., about mid

been the effects of the storm that we received no

that I may procure the materials therefore permit
me to invoke your aid, and that of the corps edi

possess it.
I do not confine this request exclusively to those
who are provided with instruments and who keep
meteorological journals; but I make it to those also
who have no meteorological instruments. Instru
mental observations are to be preferred; but when
none of them are to be had then those that are made
w»th the eye alone will be very acceptable. For
convenience I submit a pro forma set of questions

The force and direction of the wind ? 3d. W hen did

Let those who keep meteorological registers
give, in addition to the above, extracts from their
journals for each day, stating the readings of their
instruments.
Persons at sea, anywhere within five hundred
miles of the Atlantic coast or in the Gulf of Mexico,

\ Front the Edgefield Advertiser , 2 t*lh instant. J
Died, in this village, at the residence of Mr. John Mo
loy, on Sunday night, the 25th instant, after a lingering
illness of several months duration, Mrs TEMPERANCE
KING, wife of Mr. JOHN T. Kino, of Augusta, Ga., in
the 23d year of her age.
Mr*. K. had come on a visit to our village a few weeks
since, where she would be under the care and attention
of her mother, (Mrs. McCullough) and cherished the de
lusive hope that her health would thereby be improved,
but alas! the seeds of disease and death had already
been too deeply implanted, and on last Sabbath night
her quiet spirit gently took its fiight from earth to heaven.
The writer of this humble tribute to departed worth,
was well acquainted with the deceased, and has, lor a
number of years admired her many amiable and social
qualities. In her death, an afflicted husband lias been
bereft of an affectionate, confiding and dutiful com
panion—her own young babe and three step-children of
the fond caresses and constant care of a loving and faith
ful mother, and her numerous relations aud acquaintances
of a true and devoted friend and associate. But let us
“Weep not for her! Her memory is the shrine
Os pleasant thoughts soft as the scent of flowers,
Calm as in windless eve the sun’s decline,
Sweet as the song of birds among the bowers,
Rich as a rainbow with its hues ot light,
Pure as the moonlight of an autumn night,
Weep not for her !
“Weep not for her ! There is no cause of woe,
But rather nerve the spirit that it walk
Unshrinking o’er the thorny path below,
And from earth’s low defilements keep the back.
So when a few fleet sorrowing years have flown,
She’ll meet thee at Heaven's gate, and lead thee on.
Weep not for her!”
We offer our sincere condolence to the husband and
other relatives, and trust that this heart-rendering dis
pensationof an All-wise Providence may workout for
them a glorious and happy meeting in another and better
world. ‘ A Friend.
