Wreck of ibe Arctic.
Statement of Capt in L’ice, and Particulars of his
Miraculous Escape.
Quebec, Oct. 14, 1854.
E. K. Collins Dear Sir: It
duty to inform yon oi the total lot * wifoj Bcm
Arctio, under my command, w j
w *^ 1 da “* rl .® r - .. . from L ; vcrpool Wednesday,
The Arctic sailed with 2 88 pas
the SOtli °f_b®P 16 q e s a crew. Nothin* of
Ben^> I no?'occurred dunng the passage until Wed-
hen> at noon> wo were on the
nesday. ;u Jat ’ 46 45 North, and lon. 52 West, steer
; West by compass. The weather had been
tol/v during the day; generally a distance of half
to three quarters of a mile could be seen, but at
intervals of a few minutes a very dense tog, fol
lowed by being sufficiently clear to see one or two
miles. At noon I lett the deck for the purpose of
■working oat the position of the ship. In about
fifteen minutes 1 heard the cry of “hard starboard”
from the officers of the deck. 1 rushed on deck,
and had just got out when I felt a crash 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 of us. The
bows of the strange vessel seemed to be literally
cut or crushed off, for full ton teet. and seeing that
ahe must probably sink in a few minutes, and ta
king a hasty glance at our own ship and believing
we were comparatively uninjured, my first impulse
was to endeavor to save the lives of those on board
thesiuking vessel.
The boats were cleared, and the first officer and
six men left with one boat, when it was found
that our own ship was leaking fearfully. The en
gines were set to work, being instructed to put ou
the steam pumps, and the tour deck pumps were
worked by the passengers and crew, and the ship
headed for the lend, which I judged to be about
50 miles distant. I was compelled to ioave my
boat with the first officer aud crew to take care ot
themselves. Several ineffectual attempts were
made to atop the leak, by getting sails over the
bows, and finding the leak gaining on us very
fast, notwithstanding all our very powerful efforts
of keeping her free, 1 resolved to get the boats rea
ready, as many ladies aud children placed in tbem
as possible. Batuo eoouerhad the attempt been
made than the firemen and others rushed into
them, in spite ot opposition. Seeing this slate of
things, I ordered the boats astern to be kept in
readiness until order could be restored, when to
my dismay, I saw them cut the rope in the bow
and soon disappear astern in the fog. Another
boat was broken down by persons rushing at the
davits, and many were precipitated into the sea
aud drowned. This occurred while 1 had been
engaged in getting the starboard guard boat
ready, and placed the second officer in charge.
■When the same scene as with the first boat,
was being enacted, men leaping from the top of
the rail twenty feet, pushing and maiming those
who were in the boat. I then gave orders to the
•econd 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 ns the
fires werooutand eugiues stopped. Mya'tention
was then drawn to the other quarter boat, which I
found broken down, but banging by one tackle.
A rush was made for her also, und some fifteen
got in and cut the tackle, and were soon out of
eight. I found that not a seamen was left on
b< ard or carpenter, without any tools to assist us
in building a raft, as our o ly hope, and the on y
officer left was Mr. Dorian, the third mate, who
aided me with the assia auee of many of the pas
aeugers, who deserve great praise lor their cool
ness and energy, in doing all in their pow< r up to
Vh" very latest moment belore the ship sank.
The chief engineer, with a part of his assistants,
bad taken our smallest deck boat, and before the
ship went down pulled away with about fifteen
persons. We had succeeded in getting the fore
and main yard and two top gallant yards over
board, and such other small spars and materials as
we could collect. When I was fully convinced
that the ship must go down ia a very shor time,
aud that not a moment was to be lost in getting
the spars lashed together to form a raft, to do
which it became necessary to g t the life boat, our
only remaining noat, into the water. This b ing
accomplished, I saw Mr. Dorian, the chief officer
of the boat, taking care to keep the oars on board
to prevent them from leaving the ship. Hoping
atid to get most of the wo »eu and children in this
boat at last. They had made considerable pro
gress in collecting the spars, when an alarm was
given that the ship was sinking, and the boat was
shoved off without oars or anything to help them
selves with, and when the ship sank the boat had
sot clear probably t:n eighth of a mile to leeward.
n an instant, about quarter to five, i’. M., the
ship went down, carrying every soul on board with
her. I soon found myself on the surface, after a
brief struggling with my own helpless child in my
arms, when I again found my seif impelled down
ward to a great depth, and before I reached the
surface a second time, had nearly perished and
lost the hold of my child. As 1 struggled to the
surface of the water a most awful and heart rend
ing scene presented itself to my view—over two
hundred men, women and children straggling to
gether, amidst pieces of wreck of every kind,
catling on each other for help, and imploring God
to assist them. Such an appalling scene may God
preserve me from witnessing again. 1 was in the
act of trying to save my child, when a portion of a
pad fie box came rushing up edgewise, just graz
ing my head and falling with its whole weight
upon my darling child; another moment and I
beheld him lying lifeless in the water. I succeed
ed in getting on the top of the paddle box, in com
pany with eleven others—one, however, soon left
for aoother piece, finding that it could not support
go many.
The others remained, until they were one by one
rel eved by deatn. We stood in water, at a tem
perature of 45 degrees, up to oar knees, and fre
quently the sea broke d ; rectly over us. We soon
separated from our frier d to other parts of the
•wreck, and passe i the night, each one of us ex
pecting every hour would beour last. At last, the
wished for morning came, surrounded with dense
fog, not a living soul to be seen but our own party,
seven now being left. In the course of the morn
ing we saw some water casks aDd other things be
longing to the ship, but nothing that we could get
or aflbrd ; s any relief. Our ran was rapidly set
tling a-it absorbed the water. About f ood, Mr.
8. M. Woodrnff, of New Y>rk, was relieved by
death. All the others now began to suffer very
severely for want of water, except Mr. George F.
Allen and myself. In that respect we were very
much favore t, although wo had not a drop on the
raft. The day continued foggy, except, just at
noon, as near as we could judge. We had a clear
horizon for about haif an hour, and nothing could
be seen but water and sky. Night came on, thick
and dreary, with our minds made up that neither
of us would again see the light of another day, for
very soon three more of oor suffering party w sre
relieved by death, leaving Mr. Allen, a young man
and myself.
Feeling ravself exhausted, I now sat down for
the first time, aoout 8 o’clock in the evening, on
a trunk which providentially had been found on
the wreck. In this way, I slept a little throughout
the night, and became somewhat refreshed. About
an hour before daylight—now Friday, the 29th—
we saw a vessel’s light near tons. We all three
of as exerted ourselves to the utmost of our
strength in bailing until we became quite exhaus
ted. In about a quarter of an hour, the light dis
appeared to tbe east of us. Soon after daylight a
bark hove in right to the Northwest, the fog hav
ing lighted a litila, steering apparently for us, but
In a short time she appeared to have changed her
course, and again we were doomed to disappoint
ment. Yet 1 felt hopes that some of enr fellow
srffjrers might have been seen and rescued by
them. Shartfy after, we had given up all hopes
of being rescued by the b irk, a ship was discover
ed to the oast of u*. s ; eeriug directly for us. We
now watched her with the moßt intense anxiety.
An nil i approached, the wind changing, caused
her to change her course several points. About
noon they fortunately discovered a man on tho
raft near them, and succeeded in savirg him by
the mate jumping over the side and making a rope
fast around him, when he was got on board s»fo
ly. This mac saved proved to be a Frenchman,
who was a passenger on board the steamer with
which we came in collision.
He informed the Cap’sin that others were near
ou pieces ol wreek, and going aloft, be saw n« and
three others. We were the first to which the boat
was scat, and safely taken on ooard about 8, P. M
The next was Mr, James Smith, of Mississippi, a
second c ! ase pessenger. The others saved were
sos our firemen. The ship proved to be the Cam
bria, of this port, (Quebec,) from Glasgow, bound
to Montreal, Capt. John Bussell, who ccmmmand
ed the bark Jessie Stevens, and was rescued by
Capt Nye, of the Pacific. Os Captain Russell it
would bs scarcely possible to say enough in his
praiie for the kind treatment every qne of us
have received from him during tbe time wo have
been on board his ship, His own comforts he has
given up in every respect, for our relief. The
9v. Mr. Walker and lady, and another gentleman
who were passengers by the Cambria, have been
unceasing in their endeavors to promote our com
fort.
To them and to all on board we shall ever owe &
debtot gratitude for their unbounded kindness to
ne. From tbe Frenchman who was picked up, we
learned that tbe steamer with which we came in
collision was the screw steamer Vesta from St.
Pierre, bound from and belonging to Greenville,
France. Aa near as we could learn, the Vesta was
•teeriug Rast, g 0 nth East, and was crossing our
f®’*!?®’ t Prints, with all sails set. wind west by

maining in and througa tn-T **ae of the Arctic or
it is not likely that as so much of her bows had *
been crushed in, that some of the heavy longitudi
nal pieces of iron running through the ship m y
have been driven through our side, causing the
loss of our ship, aud I fear hundreds of most val
uable lives. TSecond Despatch.]
Quebec, Saturday morning, 14th Oct.—Have
safely arrived at Quebec, and am left w thout u
peniiy iu !he world to help myself with, but sin
cere gratitude to those from whom I have received
such unbounded kindness since 1 have been
providentially thrown amongst them. With them
I am about to separate to go to New York—a
home of sorrow. I learned from tbe Doctor at
Quarantine last evening, that the Vesta had reach
ed St. Johns with several passengers from the Arc
tic on board, but could not learn the particulars.
As soon as I can get ou shore, I shall make ar
rangements to leave for New York, with the lerst
possible delay, aud expect to take the steamer for
Montreal this afternoon.
I am, very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
Jakes C. Luce.
From the Few Orleans Picayune, 1 5th inst.
Later from Acapulco.
Byway of Panama, Aspinwail, and Havana, we
have inte'ligence from Acapulco to tho 221 ultimo.
Under that date, our correspondent furnishes us
with the following communication :
Capt. H. Stocker, an American citizen and bear
er of despatches from the United States Legation
in Mexico to Charles L. Denman, Esq., U. S. Con
sul at this port, with his entire party, amoDgat
whom are some American ladies, were arrostod by
’he Government troops, at Ayatla, and after an im
prisonment of tivo or six days, removed to 00.0-tepec,
tepec, being slid uuder close confinement.
Gen. Alvarez, after taking Ayatla and destroying
the fortifications, fell back on Providenoia, owing
to the appearance of cholera.
A Government courier was caught on tho 19th
inst. by Alvarez’s advance picket, with despatches
for Gen. Palacios at Chilpancingo, ordering the
immediate withdrawal ot all his forces ns they
were required in the capital, their intention being
not to make a second attack on Acapulco.
The State of Tamaulipas has pronounced in favor
of Alvarez.
From a bulletin of the Liberating Army, we
learn that tbe bark Carolinaandschooner Guerrero
were maintaining the blockade of the port of Aca
pulco. Their prestnee, however, ia ridiculed,
amounting to no more than that a pair of old shoes
would.
A paragraph ia the bulletin asserts that Santa
Anna has al tady run through the products of the
sale of tho Mesilia Valley, and had not more left
in the treasury than would be required to pay his
army for the month of September. Among other
draughts made upon it, is said to be one of <*400,-
000, to repay himself $40,000, which, it is alleged,
he loot the nation iu the war of 1847,
The flight of tho Government troops under Car
los Tejeda, from Ayatla, when taken as above re
ferred to by our correspondent, is represented as
having been a rare exhibition cl cowardice. They
were 9uo strong, well on reached a:.d supplied,
and capable of efftring a strong res .stance, bu< tied
immediately on learning of the approach ot Alva
rez and his troops.
The bulletin reports other successes of Alvar z’a
forces at Apannngan aud Paracho, taking the fir
mer by assault, and in the latter destroying the
Government troops. Many prisoners were taken,
with baggage, artillery, 6z0., in both places. The
privates were release.i, but the officers ail shot, iu
retaliation lor alleged similar barbarities by Santa
Anna’s troops.
We have nothing also of interest from Mexico by
the Empire City. The Or ztba, due on Tuesday
morning, ought to bring us news from the capital
to the 4ih lust, ia a lo n hours.
Paper Making.
Few persons have an adequate idea of the im
mense amount of capital and labor employed in
the manufacture of paper; and it is only by a re
course to figures and reliable statistics, that a just
conception of the nature and extent of the busi
ness can be approximated. The rate at which tbe
consumption of the article increases, has far out
stripped the most extravagant anticipations that
could have been entertained, and has opened the
eyes of manufacturers to tho startling fact, that tho
source from which they have derived the material
necessary for the manufacture of paper, and which
they had regarded as un'aiiing has been compara
tively exhausted—to such an extent, at least, as to
render them no longer abie to keep pace with the
demand. Hags which, at one time, proved a ser
j ions incumbrance lo house keepers, and were
thrown out with the daily offal, are new becoming
not only sought after, but an article esteemed al
most precious.
This siate of things had been foreseen ; and the
proprietors of the London Times knowing the ef
tec , an advance in tho priceof paper growing out
{ of a scarcity of rags, would have in diminishing
! their profits, offered a reward of $25,000 for tho
discovery ot a cheap aud perfect substitute for
I rags as a material for tho manufacture of paper.—
Many experiments have already been tried, and
though, as yet, without entire success, we mav
still reasonably hope, iu view of what has already
been accomplished, that ultimately the desired
result will be attained. What man has done in the
past, inspires the belief, that his genius is capable
of further and greater achievements, that indeed
whatever, his physical aud intellectual wants may
crave as essfential to the grand progressive move
ment in favor of the true interests of his race, will
iu time be procured, and brought within t,e
achievement of science and art. We trust that the
check experienced in meeting tho demand for pa
per, will soon be removed, as great inconvenience
has already been suffered, particularly by tho
Press. Many proprietors of newspapers have been
compelled to reduce the size ol their sheets, and
in some instances to suspend the publication ot
their paper altogether. \\ e know of no more per
ilous undertaking in a pecuniary point of view,
than to attempt at this time, the establishment of
a newspaper.
We have at present in tho United States, 750
paper mills, which, it has been estimated, manu
facture 270,000,000 pounds of paper a year, valued
at $27,000,000. Allowing that one and a half
pounds of rags ore required to make one pound of
paper, we have 4 )5,000.000 pounds of rags con
sumed in one year, which, at tbe rate of four cents
a pound, are worth $16,200,000; and if wo add to
this the cost of manufacturing, which, with inter
est and fixed capital, insurance, expenses, &c
has been found to be $4,050,C00, and the cost of
labor, making an aggregate of $23,635,000, as tho
actual expendimre, in manufacturing paper worth
#27,000.000, we find “the measure of profit by no
means unreasonaoie; and which might even be
considered small, were not the manufacturer com
paratively fieefrom those sudden changes that
effect the manufacture of cloth and motals.” If tt
substitute for rags be discovered, which will keep
the supply of paper fully up to the demand, we
can readily perceive that a tremendous impetus
will be given to the manfacture.
The Ruislan Army.
The Moniteur del Armee gives the following
details of the amount of the Russian army, which
is estimated in all at 571,295 men :
“The Russian army in Europe is divided into
six groups, forming six armies—the army cf the
north (.St. Petersburg and the coasts of Finland )
of the centre (Poland and Samogetia,) of observa
tion (front Kamieuets to Dubno,) cf .he Danube
of reserve (at K.iew,) and the army of tbe Crimea!

of the Russian armies. Army of the North ■ Im

Board ot Health Report*.
Heretofore the Board of Health have made
their daily reports from the report of the physi
cians. In the earlier stages of tho disease, the
physicians reported promptly, and tho reports
were accordingly very nearly or quite accurate.
This is not, however, the case now, as recent facts
have fully developed.
Yesterday, for instance, the Board reported only
two deaths from yellow fever. We knew of two
others, and added their names; and wo heard
there were still others, but we could not obtain
such information as to feel justified in adding their
namoo.
This state of things should not continue a day
longer. W o are satis fled that omissions have been
previously made. Wo suggests, thereforo, that
the reports oi the Sexton alone be relied on in fu
ture, and let him make his reports daily at three
o’clock, P. M. This will correct tho evil at once.
Otherwise the reports of tho Board will be a mere
farce.

rendered quite white by it. Wo fear, however, it
was not sufficient to arrest tho progress of tho
epidemic At the time of writing, tho prospect
is favorabio for a similar one this morning ; though
wo caDnot leasonnbly calculate on a severe frost

Hardy Mobley lu Cincinnati.
The following account of Hardy Mobley’s ap
pearance before tho Cincinnati Conference, will bo
r oad with interest by our city readers, by whom
Hardy is so well and generally fcuown. Hardy
is a man of truth, and was therefore not the right
sort of a customer for tho fanatics. He would
have leer much more cordially received it' ho 1 ad
fallowed the example set by the Stowes, who
pander to the tastes of the fanatics with so much
success. Hardy is a man of goou practical sense,
of irreproachable character as a servant, a close
observer, and, of course, familiar v» ith tho institu
tion of slavery, of which he has been so long a
member. He cannot, therefore, bo gulled by tho
syren songs of the fanatics about freedom in the
non-slaveholding S'atee. Having travelled in
j many of the froe States, he is familiar with tho
condition of his race in both the free and slave
j Stales, and he shews his open avowal of hie prefe
rence for the Blave Stutes for a residence:
A Negro Liberian Mi siwaby.—Thero wasa
queer, but very sensible specimen of a negro be
fore the Methodist Conterence on Thursday. Ho
, was introduced by a lot'er from J. Morns Pease,
E-q., Corresponding Secretary of tho Pennaylva
i nian Colonization Society, and a»kedthc assistance
of the Conference in purchasing his wife and
Boven chiluren, held as slaves in Georgia. The
colored individual’s name was Hardy Mobley, a
; go°d preacher, it is said, who wishes to goto
Africa as a nveaiouary. His f miiy will sell for
three thousand dodars. He was a slave for forty
years, end had been free but two yea n
The Reve end gentlemen who heard him state
his ca-e, were very much disappointed, of coar?-’,
as he said that, though he had served under vari
ous masters, no one had ever chastised him but
j his Eiother, and ho had always been well fed, com
fort ably clothed, and that he would never say’ a
word about the evils of slavery. Ilia was a higher
mission. He would leave jabbering politicians to
j »lk of the evils of slavery. He w shed to labor
for the elevation of his race iu Africa, and if tie
had to live on this continent, would r«tber bo in
tho South than the North—for in the North, as in
the South; his people were dogra ied—wore sieves.
If ho ould not goto Liberia, ho would go back to
i-Toorgia, where be could live easier than anywhere
else, and be with bis family. Eis wife was a good
woman and his children were well treated, and
allowed to live at home. Two of them could read
the newspapers, and they would be trained up to
be useful when he was gone.
I here was quite a stir produced among tho
brethren by the practical remarks of the negro
preacher. They wished to know whether Brother
Mobley appreciated the blessings of freedom ?
Some of the brethren were opposed to giving the
ol i folio v. anything, because hedid not understand
s avory as they id. But, mercy ou us, they were
afraid an unfavorable impression might be pro
duced, and wished him questioned privately! The
question whether he thought he could live easier
as a slave in Georgia than as a freeman in Africa,
he was no? permitted to answer in public.— Cin.

The (,’barletton Mercury—Mr. Soule.
The letter of Mr. Soule to the mombers of the
“ Liberal Press ” of Madrid, who recently celebra
ted their late triumph, is very p-operly rebuked
by the Charleston Mercury. Unfortunately for the
country, there are few Administration journals,
who, like the Mercury, have the independence to
condemn tho acts of those in power—their devo
tion to party is altogether superior to their patriot
ism—hence they either indulge in fulsome pane
gyric or silently acquiesce in every act and ap
pointment of the Administration. It is certainly
fortunate for the country that this mere adventur
er, Mr. Socle, who has, by some e vtraordinary
and unaccountable means, secured the appoint
ment of Minister to Spain, (though he is a very
appropriate representative of the Pierce adminis
tration,) cannot, in any manner, ass et tho reputa
tion of the government by his impertinent inter
meddling with the factions of Spain, and the an
nunciation of his Red-Republican doctrines to that
servile population.
But to the Mercury's article :
“The ‘Liberal Press’ of Madrid recently cele
brated tho triumph of their priuoiplea by a ban
quet, to whioh they invited Mr. Some. He excus
ed himsoif from attending on the score oi health,
but sent a letter, iu which he not only mukes him
self a hot partisan with them, but denounces the
opposite party in terms little short of abusive,
i hus, in tho midst of a bitter struggle between
factions, in which everything is in turmoil and
jeopardy, the American Miuister, to whoso bauds
have been entrusted tho most delicate and impor
tant questions, and whose course should iiavo
been one of conciliation and moderation towards
all, has acted in this imprudent and unbecoming
manner. Is it tho business, vro would a-k, of a
foreign representative to tako sides in the domes
tic revolutions which distract tho Government to
which ho is accredited f Is it consistent with his
position and duties to permit his ideas of liberty
so to control his conduct as to betray hitn into a
Btep which makes him odious to one-half of the
people and involves his own country in tho con
at qnencos of his hasty zeal f Such a course is as
contrary to all tho maxims of diplomatic prudence
as it :s opposed to tho whole current of American
foreign policy. If we comprehend that system, it
is one of sirict non-intervention in European af
fair*. And surely thus far tho country has seen
no cause to regrot or change it. Tho democratic
efforts m Europe have all signady failed, and as
rmicn, too, trona their own inherent incapacity and
rottenness as from tho formidable foes with which
they have had to contend. We do not regard the
revolution in Spain as by any moans successfully
achieved. . Mr. Soule’s conduct, therefbre, so far
as we can judge, has not the argument which suc
cess holds out to justify. His advent in Spain
was loreshadowed by circumstances favorable
neither to himself nor his ministerial duties. His
speech ootore the Cuban Junta in New York on
e eve of his departure, prejudiced him in the
mmas of the Spanish Court and embarrassed him
in hisi simplest official acts. This last step only
complicates the more his relations with that un
fortunate country.”

There were 79 deaths in Charleston for the week
ending October 15th, of which 47 whites and one
black died of Yellow Fever.
We regret to learu from a private source, says
tho Columbia Carolinian, that Col. W. H. Gist’s
gin house, at his “ Home Place,” in Union District,
with forty bales of cotton, was destroyed by flre
sometime last week. The most melancholy part
of tho accident was that a negro boy perished in

by the friotion of the machinery,

Messrs. Editors ; While the angel of deah in
the, form of Yellow Fever, has hovered over many
of the cities of our land, wo too have felt the
scourge ot ins hand.
Up to t his time since the epidemic commenced
wo have had 18 deaths, perhaps not all, however
from Yellow Fever. There are now perhaps from
50 to 1"0 eases in town that are or should be un
der medical treatment; thero is scarcely a house
| wit! mt some sick in it. Physicians cannot do the
work imposed upon them; for out of the tour wo
had, our beloved Valentine appears almost in the
arms of death, Dr. DeLyon aTo is sick, and Dr.
Bacon after having gone day and night from the
beginning is now prostrate, and his little eon was
sal ito be dying at oar last advices. Many of our
citizens, (our imendant among them) have fled

Health of Alexandria.—lt is with extreme
! regret that we feel called upon to note the exis
I tence in our town of a mixed fever, so closely
j resembling the yellow fever in some of its cfcarac

No deaths have occurred, nor has any case as yet
i advanced to that unmistakable sympton of yellow
; fever, the black vomit. On the contrary, the
j disease, in the most virulent form in which"it hat
| yet appeared, yields readily to medics! treatment.
| When it first made its appearance here, its char
: acterDUes were almost entirely those of dengue,
but in a few days began to exhibit symptoms of
the presence of other kinds of fever. *Our physi
cians do not pronounce the malady to be yellow
fever, though all agree that in some of its cnarac
teriftiies it e osely resembles that disease. Its
mildness, and tho readiness with which it yields
to proper remedies, forms the strongest presump
tion agair si its being the simon pare yellow jack.
There has been ono rase of unmistakable yellow
fever on Bayou Rapides, which terminated fatally,
with the black vomit, on Monday night last.—
