REPORTS.
THE ATLANTA DAILY SUN
Ws-t V-> r jc, August 31.—Dr. Charles
W. tteluc. has been arrested on the
chargM of abortion.
Additional details of the Metis disaster
confirm lust night's details. No South
ern names are atnoog the list of the lost
or saved.
The fliittie Cushing, of and from
Thoma8ton, Maine, for New York, arriv
ed at New London yesterday morning,
and stated that she was ran into by the
propelltr Metis, of the Providence aud
New York line, and lost her bowsprit,
head-gear, knight head, and all her for
ward gear. He sang ont to the Captain
of the steamer to stand by him, as he
thought he was sinking, bat the steamer
went on her course.
After clearing away the wreck, he
made for New Loudon, but could not
make it, aud came to anchor ofl Godien
Reef, west , of the New London light
house.
Ai the time of the the collision, it was
blowing a gale from the southeast, and
was thick and rainy. He was steering
west by south, through the race, with
Little Gull Island fiive mile3 distant,
nearly west by south.
The following is another account:—
Towards midnight it blew nearly a gale,
while pitch darkness prevailed. The
passengers nad long since retired to rest,
and with the exception that the vessel
was rolling somewhat,owing to the rough
ness of the sea nothing occurred to mar
the progress of the trip.
Shortly after 3 o’clock a schooner hove
in sight, about four miles west-south
west of Watch Hill Light, and not more
than five miles from shore. It was blow
ing and raining bard, and, as it appears,
■ the weather was somewhat thick. Sud
denly and without a word, without, a
sound of warning, the schooner, heavily
laden’ with lime, ran into the steamer 40
feet abaft the stem,on the port side, and
squared away on the course.
A deep dull thud was felt all over the
steamer. Men and women were aroused
from their slumbers, and some less
frightened than the rest rushed on deck,
half dressed, and made for the pilot
liouso to learn the cause of what seemed
• collision.
The Captain had already made enquiries
ifrom the engineers, and the cheering
news of “all right” at once allayed the
-alarm of the terror-stricken crowd. Some
returned to their berths; but others, not
satisfied with, the announcement, or,
perhaps, uneasy as to the result, remain-
ed on the hurricane deck.
Fiiteen minutes later aud the death
knell went ringing through the vessel
'The Metis was leaking badly, and tbe
mews spread like wild-firo. State-room
-doors were thrown ooen and the passen
gers scrambled on the npper deck' to be
farthest from the water. It was a
was a fearful scene. The deck hands
rushed np and down, warning the pns-
•-sengere to look to their life-preservers,
, for the Metis was going down, and there
were some whom even the first shock
• had not awakened, but who now, that
the shrieking and hammering had begun,
-e quickly jumped up to the terrible reali-
. .zation of their peril.
.Down gradually deeper went the vessel
> -until her bulwarks were under water and
waves came sweeping over deck. Nearly
every soul on board had tried to reach
>fche upper deck. Some succeeded—some
failed—aud were lost, and others plunged
. into the sea and were washed far away.
A rush was made for the boats, which
"were promptly lowered, and amid the
• wildest shrieks, the terrified passengers
made desperate exertions to drown into
; them.
The Metis had now sunk below her
> guard 3. and several persons had just' run
- up from their berths only to meet a ter
rible fate. The main deck was packed
v with huge bales of cotton, and as they
' began to float abont, many passengers
- gob-hemmed in and were either drowned
- or crashed to death.
But the scenes above were truly ap
palling. Death stared every one in the
r face. »Of the entire number of souls,
onlysome fifty-tnree remained on the
hurricane deck. Others had disappeared
in the fiarkness.
Meanwhile, Gapt. Burton and the of-
> Seers of the vessel were behaving with
. -commendable coolness,and in compliance
with their orders all hands were provid
ed with life-preservers. At length the
*- Seok*..upon -which stood the terrified
, people, ■ parted from the hull, owing
> doubtless to the great pressare of the
^cotton bales, and, in a few minutes the
Metis sank, leaving the floating deck
with its crew to the -mercy of the waves.
The collision had tnken place at exact
ly 20 minutes to 4 o’clock, aud aboni-
three quarters of an hour elapsed, from
that time, to complete the separation of
vth®;deck from the hull of the steamer.
£lt is impossible to give any idea of
"Whatensued. 'Bewildered and shudder
ing at- the surroundings, many at once
jumped off the deck and were drowned.
Women clung to children, resolved diat
they should perish -with them.
♦ ’Owing to the darkness, tney could not
' make out where they were, and as tue
awful feeling prevailed that the deck
was drifting out to sea, it was. indeed a
.night of horrors.
At length morning dawned and ihe
shore of Watch Hill was discovered ; but
«* the wind b«d not abated much, aud al-
thongh'by-this time, these on deck had
made-themselves somewhat secure, fears
were entertained lest the heavy sea then
.. running would sweep them of£,
"Nearer and nearer the floating rem-
t> nant of the vessel approached the shore,
- and-finally struck the bottom. This was
v. a-signal vote, and in half dozen seconds
Vtfche nearly exhausted and perishing pas-
' sengere plunged into tbe surf to trust to
fate.
The deck soon after went to pieces,
4ud many seized hold of the debris and
'Were swept ashore alive. In one instanoe
lady, with her two children, one tinder
-each ann, was carried safely through the
anirf.
_ Human beings struggled in all direc
tions. Some were strnck by floating

the beach. Others, unable any longer
to hold out, succumbed, but were finally
washed ashore in a dying condition.
. The first officer of the Narragansett
p believes that the number oi persons IclI
does not exceed 45. He says.innumer-

ttfere was no danger. He got into
again ; but his wife could not sleep, an.
was soon again alarmed by the sound of
many feet running to and fro.
4 moment later the steward, a brave
man, of whom all spoke well, rushed in
to the state room and told them to due
on life-nreservere, as the ship was sink
ing/ This was a terrible shock, but they
hastened to obey the order.
The two children of the young
couple lay asleep, one a baby six weej-s
old, and the other a boy of three years.
The father took the biggest boy in his
arms, and tbe mother clnng to her in
fant, and the two struggled to the deck.
The saloon was knee-deep in water by
this time, and in less than five minutes,
possibly—tne poor woman has no very
exact idea of lapse of time—man and
wife were in the water. The waves ran
high, and soon husband and wife were
swept asunder. The former lost bis
strength, relaxed his hold on the child
and both were drowned.
The mother held her babj^ above the an
gry water until her strength, too, was ex
hausted, and then a wave larger the rest
dashed it from ber arms, and she saw it
sink slowly to the depths below.
Just as she was exhausted, and after
the life-preserver had slipped, from be
neath her arms, the Moccasin came up,
and she was recalled to life, which, for
the present, at least, is “bitter indeed.
“I have my husband here,” she said,
“bnt they can never find my babies in so
large a sea.”
The poor woman goes to Philadelphia
this evening, where her parents live, and
where her husband will be buried.
Watch Hill, R*. L, August 31.—Many
physicians here are doing all they can
for the sufferers. Twenty-five or more
of escaped passengers are lying at tne
Watch Hill House and receiving every
attention. Thus far 85 have reported
themselves, and the rest are supposed to
be lost. Many of those saved from tbe
water will die
Norwich, Ct., Aug. 31.—Tbe bodies
of eight victims of the Metis, disaster,
are at Watch Hill, and eighteen in the
dead-houses at Stonington.
Louisville, Sept. 2.—This evening in
the Rotunda of the Galt Honse, Col.
Blanton Dnncan casually interrupted a
conversation between Gen. George A.
Caster, who is here to attend the open
ing of the Exposition, and Dr. J. M.
Kellar, a prominent physician of this
city. A sharp conversation ensued in
the course of which Duncan ’ declared
that he had been offered half a million
by the Greeley party, to break np this
Convention.
Cnstar responded that the other party
must have offered more. He could
proye that Duncan had said the whole
thing was a bargain and sale, and if he
was to be sold, he wonld sell to the
party that wonld pay the highest price.
Dnncan responded that Custar’s in
formant was a liar. Dr. Kellar said: “I
am responsible for the statement,” and
demanded a retraction. Duncan re
fused, when Kellar strnck him violently
in the face.
Duncan reeled, bat did not fall, catch
ing by a chair, with which he attempted
to strike Dr. Kellar. Several blows
passed when (he parties were separated.
The O’Brien delegates, from New
York, arrived to-day.
This delegation consists of 200 mem
bers,’which left the city of New York on
Sunday night, on a train of 12 palace
cars. Twelve of the members represent
no less than §20,000,000. Alderman
Gilsey is one of the delegation.
The indications are that tne Conven
tion will be large aud enthusiastic.
Washington, Sept. 2.—It is stated
that Judge Louis Dent attacked Mr.
Reed, one of the editors of the Capital,
to-day, with a cane, on account of an ar
ticle in yesterday’s Capital, charging Mr.
Dent and his brother, Gen. Dent, witn
being concerned in securing a Consular
appointment for a pecuniary considera
tion. According io Mr. Reen’s state-,
ment Dent struck him with the cane
while the latter was at his desk, with his
feet cramped underneath, and that he
made the attack without an explanation.
Another statement is, that Dent being
informed by Reed as to Ms responsibility
for the article, called upon the latter to
defend himself, and immediately made
the attack. A souffle ensued as scon as
Reed could get up, and the attachees of
the Capitol establishment rushing in sep
arated the parties.
Reed received two scalp wounds and a
cut on the temple. Dent was subse
quently arrested and bailed on his own
aecognizance for a hearing to-morrow,
ou the charge of assault and battery.

Brownsville, Sept. 2.—The Neuces
Vailey stock raisers, who have been giv
ing important information before the
border Commissioners left yesterday.
Fears are entertained that they will be
attacked by Mexican outlaws—a conspi
racy to that effect having been discov
ered.
The aggregate of the claims before
the Commission are reported over eight
millions. The general opinion is that a
searching investigation has been made
of the troubles on the lower Rio Grande.
Satisfaction is expressed at the general
result.
Anxiety exists among the Texans to
learn the proposed line of action of the
United States Government regarding
these claims.
The Commissioners left to-day for Rio
Grande City by steamer, to make person
al examination of the localities of the
cattle dpnredations, and for further offi
cial inquiries,
General Cortina has issued a circular
addressed to the people of both frontiers,
denying complicity in the cattle thefts,
aud appealing to their general good
opinion. He charges Gen. Palacios, re
cently commanuer at Matamoras, with
making an unfounded report on his con
duct, and is very indignant towards Gen.

The numerous friends and acquaintances of Maj.
Jobs Hammock, of Crawfordville, Ga., in this and
other States, will bo pained to hear of his death,
which occurred at his residence, at 5 o’clock, a. m.,
on the 29 th of this month.
Had the deceased lived until the 7th of September,
proximo, he wonld have reached the 81st year of his
age.
He had already passed his four score. Few- men
have lived so long with fewer errors of head or
heart. For many years he was a prominent mem
ber of tbe Baptist Church and teacher in the Sunday
School. *
A very large attendance of citizens witnessed, the
last sad rites of burial. He was laid away with Ma
sonic honors. The children of the Sunday School,
moving as a body in the procession, added interest
end solemnity to the occasion.
Thus has left the stage of human action a good
and upright man. He leaves a widow, several chil
dren, grandchildren and great grand children, and
many friends to mourn his loss. *
Special Notice
Want of •Vitality.—If a deficiency of
vital energy is not a disease in itself it is a condi
tion which lays the system open to the attacks of ail
conceivable maladies. Night and day we are sur
rounded, more 01 leBs, by deleterious influences.
No atmosphere is entirely pure, no water utterly
free from injuriousparticles; whilo, in many locali
ties, both are positively unwholesome. What de
fense has the weak, languid system, in which the
vital principle is deficient or dormant, against any
ol the morbid Influences which produce epidemic
and other diseases 7 None whatever. There is no
safety save In artificial reinforcement. Hostetter’s
Stomach Bitters have, beyond all question, a vitaliz
ing effect. If the nervous forces of the body have
beta recklessly expended in exhausting physical or
mental labor, or dissipated in the indulgences of a
fast” life, this powerful vegetable tonic and cor
rective will restore them. If the defective vitality
is a constitutional evil it can be remedied to a great
extent by this wonderful invigoxant. At a season, of
the year when the air is more or less impregnated
with the seeds of periodic fevers, it is especially de
sirable that the digestion should bs perfect, the
• habit of body regular, the liver active, the blood
pure, aud the nerves firm.
Th- se conditions are the best protection against
all disorders, and they are conditions which the
Bitters are better adapted tnan any other medicinal
agent to p omote and secure. Sea to it. ho.. .~vi,
that no imitation or counterfeit is substituted for
the genuine article, and let all who value health and
have an antipatDy to poison beware of the local bit
ters made from condemned drugs and vilely adul
terated alcohol, which have sprung up likeunwhole-
some fungi all over the country.
