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 ‘ *r, ier aaebor riook, about seven by four I*- driven through the bows of the Arc. »f # i B L ach « ft b<?ve the water line, and an •atPonseihofehad been made ftt the same instant by t.. * « a « 8 °* the anchor two fed* below the water line, and aft the nlank an 4 finally breaking the leaving t he Rtock I 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!

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.

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. Commercial. 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.” YeHow Fever in Oharleitoa. 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 i-he flames. It is thought that the flre was caused by the friotion of the machinery, Health of Savannah.

We nad hoped that our 1 neighbors would bo exempt from tho scourge, but S it has been decreed otherwise, for one mad scarce \ reaches us bringing us tho painful news of distress i that beers down our friends of Beaufort and Dari en, when it is followed by another wail from those of St. Marys.— Sac. Hep. VJth inst. St. Marts, Geo., Oct. 17, 1854. 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 the pla< a . Nurses arc scarcely to be obtained, and provisions are scirco. * La:jbda. 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 ! terlstics us to be scarcely distinguishable from it. 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.— Alexandria {La.) Democrat, ith inst. Telegraphed to the Louisville Whig. Further by the Baltic. Louisville, Oct. 17.—t he great battle at Crimea resulted in the utter annihilation of the Russians. Tou ships of war sunk. Constantine was blown up on the 26th. It was invested both by sea and land, and after a very ob stinate defence,carried by storm. The allies then bombarded tho city and fleet. Ten Russian ship of line burned and sunk. The remaining forts curried one after another.— Eight hundrod guns wore silenced. The loss of tho Russians, both dead and wound ed, is estimated at 18,000, at Sevastopol alone. Monsohikotf, with tho remaining iorco, then re tired to a position in tho harbor, and threatonoa to firo down and blow up tho remaining ships un let-s the victors would grant ho honorable capitu lation. Tho allies demanded unconditional surrender, and in tho name of humanity gave six hours’ con sultation. The latest despatches say Meascbikoff had sur rendered. Tl.o British and French flags flying over Sebastopol. The entrenched camp of the Russians on the heights of Alma, containing 60,000 men, numerous artillery and cavalry, was carried at bayonet point, after four hours hard fighting. No General officers of the British wounded. Marshal St, Esnaud and Lord Raglan command ed in person. Gen. Thomasson, “French,” is thought to bo fa tally wounded. The second engagomont on the plains of Kalan tiolaeted several hours—it was very ganguinarv and resulted in the total defeat of the Russians. Despatches from the garrison offered free with drawal, but they aurrended prisoners ot war.
