They; however hoped for the best, i hey trust- : #<l that the storm which had now lasted n'i 1 :.g must soon abate. During the i iuug night of Saturday and the whole of: v utaiay. the unfortunates—it is supposed , ro:ue i6O iii number- were see i clinging j to the .’coward bulwarks of the ship, with ‘hs txi continually washing over them, I end expecting death at the rise of every pucee-eding ware. No assistance could be . * tfered to them, for the sea then ran so i high that e boat !if any had been at hand) \ *4 ii have bee i instantly swamped Between four and five o’clock on Sun-! }iy afternoon, the ship’s bulwarks burst, 1 *ud aljout fifty persons, at the same rao-i incut, were washed overboard Mr. Jen nings, the wreck master, with others, made 1 great efforts to save some of those who j were in the water, but in vain ihe captain, too, was heard to cry from the ship, “For God’s sake save some of those who are drowning. 5 ’ Every exertion was made, but it was no use; and in all of the fix bodies which rhe wreck-master suc <v(ded in rescuing from the water, life was •xtinct. I; was imrne liately after this that the •bip commenced going to pieces in ear nest So small boats were to lie procured, for government boats did not arrive until all was over. About five .’clock the ves sel was comp’ctcly broken up; most of her passenger-; and crew were drowned but a lew h:ill survived, clinging to pieces cf tha wreck ihe shrieks of the dying rose even above the roaring of the storm, which seemed to be increasing rather than tubsidiug in fury. It was at this moment that a hugs w*ve was not ced rolling in wards—the dead and the dying- were n like eugu! ed within it— arid when it had passed over them, there was not one left l.ve of those passengers and crew f the 1 iJ! fated Powhatan, who numbered two hundred and fifty souls that same morn ing. A singular fact connected with this - is, that even the ship itself was splintered into minute fragments, so that scarcely a trace of her existence remained, with the exception cf a few pieces of the rigging that were washed ashore. She was pro bably laden with heavy ballast, for her hall is supposed to have sunk, or else some portion of it must have been discovered More distressing even than such a sight a? this, to those on eh re, was the f the beach next morning. The storm bad increased during the night, and the waves cast up their dead far and near. — Twenty six men and two women were dis covered uear the scene of the shipwreck, and from Absecom —some twenty mile> below—we learn that about forty bod c —men, w omen and children—nod been washed a;hore ea that and cn Brigantine ’ Beach, about a quarter of a mile: across | the channel. Those seen by our reporter | appeared to hare been Germans. They ! were all very much disfigured, and when I our reporter left, bodies were still dim ting ! ashore. Twenty eight of those, when found, were decently buried at Mamtluvw kin, amid the profound sensation that the /event has caused in that village. Mr. Jo | cl Hayward, a citizen of Westcreek, pick led up the body of a ladv while crossing |(lie bay on Tuesday; and it is believed i that many others will be discovered there ias soon as the weather becomes more fa j vocable. ] Little has been collected from the j wreck to prove the identity of the deceas ed parties Some melancholy records, | however, have been saved, and are now i in charge of Mr. Jennings the wreck mas- I ter, at Manahawkin. About thirty-live ! juisseitgerh’ boxes were washed ashore un j broken. Money !ns been found. Around one man’s waist belt was clasped, eon jtuiuiiig $40 —his all probably - that he ; vainly sought to save. On this belt the | name of “G. KilfWas engraved, Seve ; ral ot tiif* frunks hero respectively tlic ini -1 ila’s ’* i. 0 ” tI S. G.” on another “R. ’ Oriffin ’ was written, and an another “ Pidl ! lip Smith for New York.” A lady’s ring Iw as found, with the initials “K. L.” in i’ scribed upon it These are all that have ; been discovered as yet. Intrinsically they I are trifles, but they will speak volumes to j those who recognise in them the treasures ■to which their lost friends clung in the ! last hours of life. [A correspondent writing to the Herald, from the scene of ihe melancholy disaster, gives the following additional interesting particulars:] The crying of the drowning men nnd the shrieking of the women and children was hushed— all lay in the deep, number ed with the dead, while the wind wail ed loud and mournfully, adding still more horror to the a\’ ful catastrop e. All had sunk captain, officers crew, and passeu- i gers, of two hundred and fifty persons j net a soul teas left 1“ tcil the tale. No aid j came from the government house that i night, and Capt. Jennings was compelled ( to remain ti.ere by himself, a lonely watch- . er of the dead. On Monday morning four men arrived I from the station house, but their help j come too late. The storm, it seems, was j so severe, that while on their way back to j the wreck on Sunday, with the life ;*ar | and mortar, two of them fell down exhaust- j cd, and the whole party of them were i obliged to return, nearly frozen to death j I his party of men, under command of Capt. .leanings, set immediately about find i ing and gathering together tliose bodies ! that had been washed ashore. In the ; short space of an hour nearly twenty wo meu and children were found, almost na ked, scattered along the beach, some of them dreadfully bruised and cut. One man was found about fifty yards from the beach, up >n the sandhills, with : a child in his arms; and from bis condi-’ lion it is supposed that he Gone of all on board readied the shore alivo. and crawl ing out ot reach of the waves, in or der to save bis own life and that of the j infant in bis arm-, fell down exhausted on ‘ the sand, and was frozen to death during the night The child was firmly locked in hi? arms, quite dead, and appeared as if it had also died from exposure. The whole of this day was spent in ’ searching for the bodies f the unfortunate people. But one man was found among the number, all the rest being women amt children ‘i he> appeared to nave been u: excellent health, v.ith rosy cheeks and smiling faces, looking as it they were a sieep rather than (lead. Tuey were all laid side* by side, until a boat could be got to carry them ashore. On Thursday twenty-two bodies were removed irom the beach to the village of .Manahawkia. . heso consisted of one man and twenty-one ciuiuran, ttii appa rently, by their features, appearing to be Germans, the women who had any clothes ou being dressed in coarse materials, With ; heavy shoes, some of them wooden on a. ; All the dead were conveyed to an outhouse j of .-quire ITckworth a, where they remain ed until coffins cou.d be made tor them This melancholy task of making recepta cles for the dead, occupied the attention of the men of the village, while the wo ; men were busily employed in washing the | bodies and laying them out, preparatory to their being placed in coffins. !oo much praise cannot be awarded to the iuhabi tunts of Manahawkiu lor their zeal and industrv in giving a decent burial to the idead. Our reporter visited the dead house, I where lay in tiers, one above the other, | women and children, presenting a shock ling and painful spectacle The whole ; evening was spent in making coffins and ishrouds; and it was not until midnight | that these kind hearted people desisted lin their labors, which were trying in the ; extreme. { On ‘K'duesduy morning just as we were j about vis.tmg the beacn, a wagon arrived ; with the bodies of six more of ti-e dead, j vr.,o were immediately taken to the dead house, where they acre washed, and pla ced in colfius prepared for them. About one o’clock, r. m.. the bodies were viewed by .Squire i’eckworth, prej urn lory to be- I ing taken to the Baptist church burying j ground. In the south west comer of the church yard, deep trendies were dug in the vicin ity of the place where the bones ot so many persons wrecked on board the snip Auburn, many years ago, Ue smouldering in the dust, and the coffins were deposit ed one by one alongside of each other, with a headboard at the head of each grave, denoting the number and descrip tion of the interred. The sight was a mournful one to sec —twenty-eight newly made graves, extending nearly the whole way across tne end of the churchyard, with nothing but a piece of pine board to mark the spot where the unfortunate peo lile were buried. We then proceeded down to the beach, where we net Captain Jennings and sev eral of his ineu engaged in collecting the oaggage and portions of the wreck. A ooui thirty trunks, with goods iu tl em lay piled up together’ among them 6e?era: ot Uhe,r.?imen’r chects and the trunk of the GRIFFIN, (GA.) THURSDAY MORNING, MAY 4, 1854 first, mate,. Ambrose Kingsl.and Ilorers, iu which were several letters, pieces of “oe trv, a daguerreotype likeness, a lock of a lady’s hair, and a number of shirts, un derclothing, coats and pantaloons. All along the shore for ten miles, mas scattered the remnants of the chests and .trunks of the passengers, many of them having names inscribed on the lids and sides. Feather beds, cooking utensils, empty casks and pieces of the vessel were to be seen on every side Letters of the dead were scattered he:e and there, and bib’es and prayer books lay g listening in the sun, the whole desolation present ing a melancholy and heart-rending scene. From various papers collected and frog, tne inscriptions on the baggage, wo are enabled to give the following na.i.es of those who were on board the ill fated ship at the time of iter destruction: .

From Captain Jennings we obtained the following statement oi the melancholy oc currence, he being the only < ye-witnens of tlie scone, his account will prove highlv in teresting. It reads as folio *s: On Saturday the wind blew wit! great violence from the northeast. The sea ran very high all day, and I supposed that there would be many a wreck along the coast from Banicgat to Egg Harbor. On v nnd ay morning I observed a ship of a bout 900 tons thumping on the bar about one hundred yards from the shore. I im mediately sent those mou who w re with me to the government station house, ds> tant about six miles, for the life cal*, inor ttr and other wrecking app .ratu-. During the div the snip’s deck was crowded with passengers, and when the surf ran out. I could get within seventy-five yards of the ve.-sel, which I found out to be the ship Powhatan, of Baltimore, Capt Meyers, on her voyage from Havre to New York. The surf ran mountains high. Indeed 1 never saw sin-h a sea in my life. Several persons now began to be swept overboard, when Capt. Meyers hailed me through his speaking trumpet and asked me for God’s sake to try and save some of those who alight happen to wash ashore. I to! 1 him I had went down the beach to where the bodies came on shore, but found them all dean, and it was no use trying to save them, as they were all drowned before they got half way to ti.e beach Captain Meyers ask and me just before this if any aid would soon reach them. I said 1 hoped so as four men - ha • been sent down to the government station for that purpose. Captain Meyers again called out to me to save any of those who might be wasned as’ ore alive. * I replied that I would see to it, and went d'mvn about two hundred yards on the beach where the bodies were be ing washed ou shore. U omen and c.ul dren came o.i shore fir t. i lie \essel then lay E. S. E and had shifted from the N. E. Her foremast was gone at tin’s time. I suppose she lost it before she struck the bar. About 5 o’- clock, P A! on ‘-uuday, the ship keeled over to windward from the shore. i lie sea then, of course, made a clean breach over her. and passengers began to be washed off in great numbers The sea running mountains liigu, and completely hiding Uie vessel from my view, I could no longer hold any comma dcatioa with the captain. I never s.w him smee. The mein and m;zen masts soon went by the boa<d, and bodies appeared float ing in the surf in great numbers Some t enty-live dead bodies, mostly women, came o.i snore about a m.le south of the wreck. About dark the sea rose to a great height, and one large wave, fully a hundred feet high, struck tne unfortunate vessel, and in one moment the hull was scattered into fragments wnich tossed wildly thro’ the surf The shrieks of the drowning creatures were melancholy indeed, but I could render them no aid, as the sea ran so high i could not get near the unfortu nate people. In a fe*\ moments all disap peared beneath the surlaee of th# water, except a few fragments of the wreck.— Never did l see such a sight in my life. - Never do I remember witnessing such a dreadful gale or such a high running sea. In many places it made complete breaches over the island, and carried no doubt many a poor fellow into the bay beyond it. Ihe men got back the next morning from the government station luusc with a life boat, mortar, and the usual wrecking apparatus, but it was too late, as all n btmrd the ill-fatti Poichahn hud parish*a — no', one rum lined t‘> tell the fen fa 1 tale None of the crew or officers of the ves sel came ashore, which is rather a carious fact; but I think they will be found son.e ten or fifteen miles further down the beach. The luggage and portions of the wreck lay scattered along the beach. I have collected all the valuables I could, and have found some money, ($ >0) in a money licit, belonging to some of the passengers, i he friends uud relatives of the deceased can have all the necessary information re garding the effects of those drowned, by inquiring for tne at Manahawkiu, New Jersey. t apt. Edward Jennings, Wreck Master. Long Beach, Ocean county, N J The Powhatan was bu.lt in Baltimore about fifteen years ago, and was not, we think, from the appearance of her timber, a very sound ship *wol age pieces ot her hull lie on the beach, also a large por tion of her waist, the starboard side of her quarter, m which is lodged an iron tank that fitted in her run. home of the ship’s papers came ashore in the Captain’s desk, and were e?nt ou by Hie resident magistrate signed Peckwnftli, to the con signees in this city. >he was loaded with iro i for b blast, which is the reason pro bubly why her bottom lias not come a shore. There is no insur nice on ihe Pow hatan in this city; ail tile loss will fall on Baltimore and Philadelphia insurance ofli ces. The Wreck of the Hw'ninm. We published yesterday a sta eincut oi the total wreck of the- schooner Man -0(1-1 tan u the same neighbofliood “e have the following addition il particulars: Tne schooner Manhattan ran ashore iboul h.;!f & m.!& below cue seen<s r -f tJU*. Paw ha tail’s wreck. Out of a crew of line men, one alone was saved, and he was thrown into a surf and was waslu-d ishore perfectly insensible. He was found on ilie beach in this condition, and was taken into an adjoining cottage, hit. was not restored to consciousness until S hours after. Another man found dead near the spot was supposed to lie one of the same crew. The survivor says that when the ship run aground, it would hare been practicable for the men to Imre jump ed off the bowsprit, and have thus bum saved. Iu fact the Captain ordered tliem to do this, but paralyzed by fear, tier crowded to the stern, and were washed overboard with the Captain by the sweep of a single wave, and all perished. The schooner it-elf was completely wrecked. TUF VEUY I.ATEST rAKTIGUI.ARS The schooner .Manhattan, of Bangor, Maine, Captain Fields, came ashore about a mile below the Powhatan, on Sunday night.. After a cons derable thumping on the liar she was driven over and bteaten upon the shore The sea ran verv high and drove her up within fifty yards of the beach. Capt. Jennings repaired to the i spot and endeavored to persuade the Cap- 1 tarn and crew, seven in mumber, to let; Ttuemseives down by a rope‘from the end ut tne jib-boom, w.ieu tho surf ran out, Hanging over the land; and they could easily nave got ashore. Instead of ful iowmg the advice o •• apt. Jennings, the Captam and ail tiie crew shut themselves up in the after cabin, thinking, most prob ■oly, tn.it the vessel would outlive tue gale, nuu would be lngh and dry next mo. n.ug. r ne waves, However, so mi made qucK work ot ilie Mauuattaiq and man Hour or so she went all to pieces Five of tue men endeavored to get ashore on a spar, but only one of them - a man named George Uritiiths, of Bangor, Maine, succeeded in getting ashore. ile was found the next day, in an in sensible condition, lying among tue buohes, and was quickly conveyed to the nearest Habitation, wiiere everything Wae done tending to relieve iiis condition. He continued raving for many hours, and was under the impression that those around him were about taking his life, as he begged of them not to kdi hiiu Wucu ae returned to his proper sens s he stated tnat the schooner was bound from t'liiladelpiiii whit tnoue’ coal and belonged io tue Captain and mate, both of wuom are lost iUe rescued man is now doing well, ami will be able to be removed to ms resi dence m a few days.
