I never was in belter spirits limn on the morning when I left Shanghai-. I was then captain of the good ship, Morning Glory, bound from that port to London, with a cargo of tea. The vessel was a line clipper, well found, and in good trim; so I never felt more confident of making a rapid passage than on that day wo cast of!' the tug at Woosung and ran past Saddle Island, with a fresh eight knot breeze, down the China Sea. I had only two passengers with me —Mrs. Clifford, the wife of an English mer chant at Ningpo, and her daughter, a little eunny-baired child, who soon became a groat favorite with all on board. All weut well until we were off Turnabout, when the wind fell light, and for several days we made but little progress. When I came on deck one morn ing, I was surprised to find the roy als and topgalhint sails stowed, though it was a dead calm, and the crew busily erapleyed reefing preven ter-braces and doubly securing every thing movable. “What’s the matter Jackson?” I inquired, as the chief officer came j towards me. “I think its gohig 'to blow hard, captain; the mercury’s all of a quiver in the barometer—the birds fly high and are making for land. I’ve seen those signs before in these seas, and know a typhoon’s coining on pretty shortly,” lie replied. I commended hi* forethought, and, urging him to get everything snug hs quickly as possible, went below to as certain, ns accurately as I couid, the j vessel’s position. Clouds gradually gathered over head and at eight bells in the after noon tlie first installment of wind came, in short, fitful gusts, from near ly opposite points of the compass. Presently the clouds opened, and a torrent of rain poured down, while the wind increased in violence tili it blew a heavy gale. T 1 ic hatches were tighty battened down, alt satis I'urled except the three close-retied topsails an l line course; and I put lie right belore the wind, to endeavor to run out of the cinde of the storm. N ght came on, and then the iud fury of the tempest burst upon us. To see was impossible, for the rain dtove horizontally along, cut ting to our very skins —to hear, btill mo.e so, for the howling of the war riug elements deafened us completely. Groaning and quivering, the good ship bore bravely on, now rising high on Mie crest of a mountaiuous billow, anon pluuging deep into an abyss of darkness, torn which she again enter ged foaming and snorting likeja met tlesome steed. The crew drenched to the skin, were crouching under t lie lee of the weather Bulwarks; and I was firmly lashed to the mizzan-rig ging, under shelter of a tarpaulin. Still the hurricane raged with in creasing violence. I could not close liaul the vessel for want of sea-room on the starboard hand ; and I knew we should get into the inner circle of the typhoon —the point most to be dreaded—if we lay to on the off shore tack. The topsails blew out of the bolt-ropes w ith a roar like thun der ; the fore-brace parted, and the yard came crashing down on deck. One huge wave broke over the stern, while another struck the vessel lull on the broadside, flinging her on her beam-ends iu the trough of the sea, where she lay moaning like a van quished giant. “ Cut away the mizzen-roast,” I roared through my speaking-t ru;npet. Jackson, thau whom a Letter sailor never trod a plank, obeyed my order promptly ; one stroke ol his axe sev ered a shroud Lardyard of the mizzeit rigging and the lower mast, snap ping short off belgyv tire top, tell into ih boiling ocean to leeward. Still the vessel lay over on her side, and the sea making a complete breach over her. “Mainmast, now ! ’’ I shouted, and ; soon the mast went close by the deck, carrying with it the foretopmast— and, alas! Jackson and ten brave fel lows who bad become enmeshed in the entangled cordage that swept the deck. The vessel righted on her keel; and the remainder of the crew and mystnf used every effort to save our hapless companions, but without atari, and they sank to rise no more. I was now iu momentary expecta tion of the vessel foundering, for the iiclur was useless; waves, nmu..* HAMILTON, HARRIS C 0„ GA„ WEDNESDAY, JULY 19,1876. tain high, were breaking over her, •nd ihi spars to leeward were dash, ing like battering-nuns against her sides, threatening to slave her in. But all was not yet lost; there game a lull, followed by another whistling blast, then a lull again, and the rain ceased. This betokened that the fu ry of the storm was spent, that the center Imd passed, aud that ere long a 1 would be over. At last the welcomed dawn arriv ed, so, bidding the second mate set at once about clearing the debris, I descended to the cabin for the pur pose of visiting Mrs. differed, who I knew nilist need consolation. I found tiie courageous woman seated in a corner where she had wedged her self, calmly reading the form of pray er “to be used at sea,’’ while her child lay peacefully slumbering in her lap. As I entered she rose and took both my hands. “ Capt. Downes, you gool, brave man, tell me truly, is there any hope ? I can bear to hear the worst, though the thought of my poor little Edith unnerves me,’’ she said, gently. “The weather is moderating, ma dam ; we are in the hands oi Provi dence but Mis mercy mercy may be I extended to us; tlie greatest danger is now past, so bear up and have ev ! cry hope,’’ I replied. I was peering over a chart in my cabin, when the second mate called hurriedly to me to come on deck. “Breakers to leeward, sir!’’he cried, excitedly, as I emerged from the hatchway. I looked in the direction h“ indi- e tied, anil saw a iuug lino of foam stretening out on onr lee, w liile the roar ot Jue.i ing si rg s fell distinctly on mv ear. The sea was still running high, though the wind had died en tirely away ; and I soon perceived that the current was bearing us swiftly toward land. Nearer sail we drifted ; j and then I recognized our position. The most dangerous rocks in the China Sea, a group know as the Pra tas, were to leewurd ; and wo were utterly tumble to navigate our disa bled vessel, i r to ward off the late that seemed pending over us. The I etew showed im! >mi'abl courage, exhibiting the greatest alacrity, am! j striving hard, by promptly obeying j my orders, to worn the vessel off shore; bu. sagged steadily to leeward, and 1 saw time all chance of saving the vessel was gone for ever. “Get the life-boat ready, my lads; quick, for your lives ! Dou’t forget provisious, air. Cooper,” 1 said, as I hurried below. Mrs. Clifford met me at the foot of the stairs, and read the uew trouble iu my face. “You must come iu the boat. Cive me Edith. Keep calm, I beg,” I ex claimed plucking a quilt from a bed and wrapping it round her, while I took the child in mv arms, “ I will, I will! But, oh, preserve my child!’’ she cried; then she mounted with firm step to the deck. We were very near to the rocks now terribly near —and I saw Mrs. Clifford’s cheek blan th as her quick eye took in the danger at a glance; but I placed her safely iu the bout with Edith. The crew took their places oiderly ; Cooper and I lowered them to the water, the tackles were unhooked, and the boat floated clear of the vessel’s side. Then I leaped overboard the second mate followed, the crew picked us up, and we were soon using our every endeavor to weather, the shoal where on the the Morning Glory shortly struck and went utterly to pieces. The life-boat had been terribly Etramed by the waves which broke over, when oir the vessel’s deck, and the water gurgle i in at many a yawn ing scam, so that half the crew were I constantly employed iit bailing her out. The sea still ninniug high, j shook her much, and I began to leaf that she would not float i*ng as we had rather more than her compliment in her; therefore I consulted Cooper as to w hether it would not Ire Letter to pull to leeward of the Pratas, and endeavor to land upon the island in the rear. He agreed with me; so we put that plan into execution, and before nightfall ran the boat be tween two rocks into siill water, and, though not without much difficulty, succeeded in effecting a landing. We fashioned a tent out of the boat sad for Mi s. Clifford’s accommo dation, and kept a regular lookout for vessels in the trope of being res cued. There was plenty of fresh watfei iu the deep t ools and fissures t f i lie rocks, but our scant stock of provisions soon disappeared; and then we hid to use biciie-deiner —m edible zeophite—shell-fish, and gulls’ eggs, which abounded on the little island, for lood, A fortnight had passed awav, and still no friendly sail had greeted our sight. The usual diet and exp< sir e 'o lire wear her—which was extremely hot —told upon us; and in our wan faces and attenuated forms the happy crew of the Morning Glory could scarcely have been recognized. Then four of our number vohmteerel to take tlie boat, which we had been tin able to repair for want of materials, and endeavor to resell Ilong Ko< g, from whence assistance could he sent * us. Full of hope, they started on their mission, one beautiful morning, hearing with them our heartfelt pray ers for their success; but, alas! they never reached land—tlie boat was found bolioin-up by a steamer, aud that was how the report ot our total loss got circulated. We remain*d on the Pratos six weeks, at the end of which time a trading-junk, noticing our signals, sent a sampan oft’, took us on hoard, aud carried ns lo Tat-uau, on the island of Formosa, win-re we recti'v od much warm attention from the Brinish consul who -forwarded us to I long Kong. A Sweet Farewell. There is nearloy always a gtiin sar casm, iiidicaiing sourness of temper, iu a suicide’s good bye to the world, enemies and friends. Miss ,1 ulia jHich el’s farewell messages were!) it of th s J class. They were pecu'inly sivee’ and touching, and showed the young la ly to have possessed a beautiful character. They almost excused her going as she did, rashly out of the world, and fall tendci'y as a dying loir 1 sen ; on the ear. Julia Siohul was a beautiful, bright aud accomplished yoiliig lady of t w en ty-one summers, and lived w ith her parents and four or five brothers and sisters in Sun Francisco. Mie loved a young mui named iienj. Meinmun oi Sacramento, and was no. ashamed to own it, aii.li.,ugh Stciuumu, f n some reason, cj ml i.u,, or did nut re turn her love.

She was interested iu her fam ily I'i'la; ions, and maintained good sp bits, sweetened the home cup ol life as long as she lived. On a late Sat. urday m Tiling her father and mother went to their synagogue to attend ser vices at eleven o’clock, leaving Julia and the lest of their young family at home. On their return they found Julia dead iu her room. Strychnine. On her table was a newspaper, which had been received that mor ning. Within its folds was a slip of paper, on which w-as written: ’’Your’s received. Have come to the conohnion it wasJiest, for the present, to cease our correspondence With regards to.all, I remain yours, Bun.” This was doubtless the stab iliat reached her heart’s cote, and poison, as a healing remedy, was at hand. A letlerwas found superscribed as follows: ’’Julia’s last words to her father, mother, si biers and brothers. It ran DICAK MoTIIKIt AND FATHER — I pray you will forgive the sorrow I cause you by my rash act, but life is one dull blank to me now.

Juu *.J* No young girl ever left tho world with a sweeter song ot purity and love on her lipsthan did Ju'ii Silolicl. There was not a smothered reproach or a mingled regret in her parting from friends and that love which in flicted tho death wound. The dying message sounds like an invitation to join her in the heller land. Letter from an Emmigraut.

Lutter from Our ML Airy Com'si>:ii(bnl. Mt, Airy, July, 1876 Da A u Journal: — My long absence from your columns has not tieen the result of negligence, so much as tli.it of cue and toil. The old add,age of “Ho who by the plow won! I tUrf.e, Must either liolil hlmtelf, or il ivv.” has been literally fulfilled tins .wa-on in this part of the county, and in many cases, we have In Id and driven too. The result is, except wo have been rather dry for several days, a good crop prospect, taking every thing into consideration. “But Paul may plant and Apoilns may water, out it is God that giveth tho in— crease,’’ Yet, when we have made an honest effort, we are justified in ex pec ing some reward—“bread lo the eater, and seed to the sower.” The harvest is ovor; the wheat was inj nod by tho rust, und also, the Spring sowing of oats. Tho fail oats were fine, the yield abundant, and I think the planters in thi- communi ty have at last learned the all impor taut lesson of fall sowing of oats, and the rust proof variety. These two, are the most important considei a ions in oat growing in this country, for they are almost sure success. Politically, we are somewhat di vided, and yet, so far as we are con cerned in the sharing of Gubernato rial honors, I think either of the most prominent candidates would trivc satisfaction, when the choice of the people is expressed through the proper tribunal. Give ns a Constitu tional Convention; let us roviso and curtail offices; diminish salaries; rk tkknuii and reform ! With New York—sß,ooo,ooo reform in otic gu bernatorial let in. Surely the expens es of Georgia might he reduced so much as to somewhat lighten the burden of heavy taxation, which so heavily press upon the people. Wo are of the opinion that the einminent qualifications, and very efficient ser vices of our Representative in Con gress, from ’■'lifts" District, coupled with the benilii of experience, make it dangerous at least, to the general good of our State, and perhaps to the whole South, to make any change. What say you ? Give us good honest, efficient offi cers, from Governor to Constable— administer justice w ithout dissimula tion—reduce salaries—curtail expan ses in all departments of government county, State and Federal, then you inspire confidence, sl.imiliUe energy, lessen the burden ol taxation, briug reasonable compensation to the la borer, and prosperity to the country. Yours, truly, Mt. Airy. To tin Methodist of Harris and Mutscoger. Dear Brethren —The Bigham Camp-meeting commences on Friday night before the 4th Sunday in Au gust. A few faithful lent holders have stood by mid sustained this Encampment, and G id’s blessings has rested on them and the nice ing. They should not be allowed to hear all the burdens. When we thought to move it the people said, '‘let it re main, we will rally to it, build tents etc. What say Harris and Musco gee now ? “Who is on the Lord’s side?” Who will build ? The in. vimtion is to all, Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterians, Episcopalian*, Jew and Gentile. I'ieaso confer with Judge Bigger*, Rev. L. G. Wiggins, or Messrs. Burt, Hines, Pitehtord aud White. The District Conference meets at the Central Gamp tAround, August 17 —22. Wednesday, the 2fltli of July, is set apart for public work on the grounds. All persons willing to aid, or wanting to secure ground on easy terms should be present on that day. '1 ho 4,500 Methodist of this District, with the liberal aid extend ed by others, can build up the Big- haut. Duller and lied B"tie Camp grounds, and spare enough assistance to make (he Central Dial. Camp ground the most attnic ive, best sus tained, most profitable Encampment in Georgia. Aside from the re-igi ous beuifit., the social reunion once a /ear, would pay a handsome divi dend. If any should say “I am not able,” I answer them truly “aide” never, or seldom, build Campground. Gamp grounds, like many other good things, are the product ol pray erful, patient, self-denial. Eight out of ten are able to tent, provided they are able to deny themselves. In this case the dust or denial is better cur rency than rag or hard money.
