The Fate of Theodosia Barr.
ONE OF THE SADDEST TRAGEDIES IN HUTOBt.
Correspondence of the Daily Graphic.
In yonr edition recently, yoa hare an ar
ticle concerning the daughter oi Aaron Barr.
She was, indeed, the good angel of that mis
guided man, and to James Parton we owe our
knowledge of her sweet and lovely character.
There is a mystery connected with her disap-
§ pearance, and, as yon say, “the vessel never
reached its destination; was never heard from
after leaving Charleston harbor.'’
With your permission, I will tell you
what I know of the matter. What
I am about to relate may be traditionary in a
degree, but still may possess a peculiar inter
est to the reader. It was understood, at the
time, that the cause of Theodosia’s coming
north to her father was because of the differ
ences between herseif and husband regarding
Barr. Theodosia defended her fathar’s ae-
tir \s, while Governor Alston denounced
them. This was the cause of a separation.
Theodosia embarked in a vessel for New
York, in the care of a Mr. Gray, a
wealthy South Carolinian. She 'took
two of her children with her, also a large
quantity of family plate. Tidings of her de
parture reached New York, and her arrival
was anxiously looked for by the lonely old
man. But, alas ! she never came. The be
reaved father gave her up as dead; whether
the vessel foundeied at sea. or what happened,
they never knew. At this time, my great-
father, Philip Freneau, visited Burr. As he
entered the office, Burr met him, and grasp
ing his hands, said, “ Mr. Freneau, I kuow
what you came for; I have received no tidings;
I am desolate!"
As he spoke the tears gushed from his eyes
and he cried like a child. Freneau tried to
reassure him, but to no effect; the conviction
that she was lost to him coaid not be shaken.
Touched by the grief of the wretched father,
Freneau afterward sent him a poem, entitled
“Theodosia in the Morning Star,’* which was
published in one of the early editions of his
poems. Deprived of the only being who
ioved him, friendless and alone, the old maa
gradually sank, uutil death ended his grief.
Now comes the mysterious part of the sad
story. I can not vouch for the troth of it,
as I have been uuible to procure anything
of a documentary nature bearing upon the
subject. Many years ago a notorious pi
rate nanied Gibbs was captured, brought to
this port, and condemned to be hung and
gibbeted. On his condemnation he made a
confession, and of other crimes confessed to
having captured the vessel which contained
Theodosia Alston. He said that he received
information that a vessel intended leaving
Charleston having on board plate of great
value. He resolved to lay in wait for her.
He did so, and captured the vessel with all
on board. In the struggle for the possession
oi the ship many of the crew and officers
were killed. Gibbs resolved to put the survi
vors to death, as the safest way of disposing
of them. Mrs. Alston begged for the lives of
herself and children; she offered him
all the wealth she possessed, and prom
ised to .secure him from harm. She
kuecled to him, and entreated him in the
most beseeching tones, but the pirate was in
exorable. He said that if he saved them he
must save the rest, and that he could not do.
He now forced them to “walk the plank.”
The turn of the two little boys came, and, as
they disappeared in the sea, the mother firmly
and proudly stepped off the board to follow
them. Whether this is the true story of the
fate of Theodosia I do not know. If there is
a copy of “Gibbs' Confession" in existence,
this incideut would very likely be mentioned.
If true, it was well that Burr was spared the
additional pain ot learning the mode of his
• laughter’s death. I give it for what it is
worth. Respectfully yours,
C. Townsend Huiris.
Piermont, New York. July 31.
Sir Samuel Baker and his Afri
can Wonders.
Mr. James Baker of Chester, England, has I
received a letter from his brother, Sir Samuel |
Baker, dated ou May 13, at Ismailia. a new I
town founded by him, and named after the \
Khedive.
The letter is written in a magniloquent;
btjle. S r Samuel announces that he has
succeeded iu “the suppression of the slave j
trade and the annexation of the central Nile
basin to Egypt.” He says “all enemies have I
been crushed, and the Goverement is now J
triumphantly established throughout the .
country.”
It is Sir Samuel Baker’s theory that there
is navigable open w.ttei from the mouth of
the Nile through Lake Albert Nyanza and
Lake Tanganyika, some four hundred miles
south of the equator. He thinks, moreover,
that these two lakes are really the same huge
sheet of water. He writes in this new letter
that he has positive information from the
people of Uganda, and also from Karagwe
merchants, that such is the case. But Liv
ingstone says otherwise, and the extreme im
probability of open water extending from the
Nile to Lake Tanganyika as a matter of
physical geography prevents this theory from j
finding many advocates: while in matters of;
fact and ia the accounts of his adventures Sir j
Samuel Baker’s irresistible proclivity to in-1
dulge his imagination in order to throw a halo

(he story of his exploits. I “ I
■ Sir Samuel Baker gives an interesting ac
count of an attempt made by Kabba llega.
the ruler of Unyoro-Masindi, to poison him
and his troops with plantain cider. More
over, while smoking his pipe and walking up
and down the drive at Masindi on the next
morning, he was suddenly attacked by the
natives, as he thus graphically describes:
A sharp tire was instantly opened upon me
from the castor oil bushes, about fifteen paces
distant. A corporal by my side fell, shot
through the heart; another man was wounded,
then a soldier iell from the fort, shot through
the back, and shot after shot flew along the
drive and cut through the government house,
from the enemy concealed m the cover. In
a few minutes we were attacked by about
seven thousand men from all sides, who had
been concealed in the high grass.
But we are told that -‘the enemy was Dot
only repulsed, but defeated with great loss,
and the capital destroyed.” At this time the
whole force of Sir Samuel Baker consisted of
101 men.
The expedition on its nttrn reached the
Victoria Nile after seven days of fighting and
marching. At Fallko, 78 miles to the north I
of this and 101 miles south of Ismailia, they]
routed a body of slave traders, taking 43 pris
oners, 7 flags, 131 slaves, 303 cattle, and kill
ing more than half their company.
Sir Samuel says: “This nest of pi
rates being broken np, the whole country
rose as one man to support the Govern
ment. At a day's notice 10,000 men would
have risen at my word.” At Fatiko, which he
calls the paradise of Africa, ba constructed an
impregnable fortress with deep fosse and
earthwork. A rock citadel, 25 feet perpen
dicular height, of about an acre in extent,
formed the western base. When he arrived
at Ishmalia, he says: “I was delighted to
hear that my great work expended in cutting
canals through the morasses of the Bahr Gi
raffe had established a clean river bed. This
is a great trinmph. Similar energy, if be
stowed on the obstructions ot the main river
would doubtless render the White Nile navi
gable as before.”
The extreme point reaehed by the expedi
tion was the capital of Unyoro-Masindi, in
latitude one degree forty-five minutes north,
a day’s march from the Albert Nyanza, and
318 miles from Ismailia. Masindi ia a very
large town, counting seven or eight thousand
»**. The mountains on the west

ot u eten the trees being viable with tele-
I | Is. Here the poisoning and the attack
took place. On the return they struck the
Victoria Nile, 78 miles from Fatiko, and on
reaching the latter place had the fight with
tb* slavers.

..,verier still remaiuto be ascertained.

Deviations or thb.Cokpa«3—A deviation
of the compass has frequently been observed
on vessels carrying petroleum, and this iireg-
ulurity ia attributed to the sheet-iron tanks
containine the oil. The greapet deviation ie
.shown when the vessel heads east or west,
Lot there ia none when the heeding is north
or south. A Boston sea captain, who had
been troubled with this deviation, in compar
ing his position as obtained by observation
with that derived from his “dead reckoning,”
givee the following ingenious method lor regu
lating bis coarsest Having tiled the four
compasses in different parte oi the vessel, he
found that there was a deviation of 15 deg.,
east, orsay li points. He then placed one
compass near the mizzenmast-head, and one
on a plank laid across the stem boet-duTiti;J aCH|||HC
these two agreed, and by them he corrected
the binnacle compass. He hept the compass
on the plank at the stem, and every time the
veeael’a coarse was changed, day or night, he
noted the difference between it and the bin
nacle compass—making corrections accord
ingly.
