The Arctic— Further Details. Below will be found tbe statements of Mr- Burns, a messenger of Adams & Co.’s Express, who was saved in one of the boats picked up by the Huron , —and Mr. Baahlam, second officer, of l the unfortunate vessel. Ihe steamship Arctic, with 226 passengers, exclusive of children, 175 employees, a valuable cargo, and heavy mail, is lost. Os the more than four hundred persons who left Liverpool on the 20th ult., full of hope, gaiety r.nd health, many returning from an European tour of pleasure only thirty-two are known to have been saved, and j certainly not more than one hundred can, by any possibility, have escaped a watery grave. In addition to all this, another large steamer, i freighted with hundreds of human beings, has in all probability, met a like fate. The details of the horrible disaster are as follows : On Wednes le}|-September 27, precisely at 12 j o’clock, M., in a dense fog , we c me in contact with a barque-rigged iron propeller, with black hull, salmon-colored bottom, lead-colored poop and boats, and black pipe. She was bound East ward, and had all sail set, with a strong, fair wind. The speed of tbe Arctic at the time was about thirteen knots an hour. The shock to us appeared slight, but the damage to the other ves sel was frightful. Capt. Luce instantly ordered the quarter boats cleared away, and tbe chief i jgjjjjnate. boatswain and three sailors went to her relief; before other boats left, the order was countermanded. The Arctic then described a circle twice round the wreck, during which time I caught a glimpse of moie than two hundred people clustered on her hurricane deck. At this junction it was first ascertained that vre had sustained injury, and the water was in at our bows. When the first officer came along side to report, the captain was una ble to take him up, but headed N. N. W. in the hope of making land. Our position on the pre vious day. at 12 o’clock, was latitude 48 39, lon- ! gitude 45 27. We had run about three hundred ! end ten miles (tom the time of this observation /until the moment of collision, and were supposed ! 'to be forty miles from Cape Race. The pumps were worked, and an anchor chain was thrown overboard ; but in spite of all exer tion, the engines stopped, and the water extin guished the fires. Four ot the five other life boats, believed to have been well provisioned, contamed the engineeis, sailors,a few passengeis, and ail the officers except the captain and third mate, leit the ship at an early stage. The ma jority of the passengers were working at the pumps-—some firing the signal guns, and others launching spars, under the direction of Captain Luce and Air Dorian, the third mate, to form a raft. * In order to facilitate this latter woik, the sixth and last boat was lowered. Dorian, one or two firemen, three of the other passengers saved and myself, were busily engaged in lashing water casks and settees to the main yard, two top-gal- Lnt yards, and several smaller spars—the captain with,* number of gentlemen, protecting the work by)** e pmo back the crowd—when a panic seized board, a rush was made, passenger's and Ij.. JBreroen precipitated themselves headlong over I the bulwarks on to the raft, and in a moment our W little boat was full and in imminent danger of being sunk. In this emergency, Dorian ordered the rope wtiieh held us to the steamer to be cut, and with our hands and axes we paddled from the raft’s side. Toe mate, who throughout pre served great presence of mind and labored w ith heroic energy, cried out—“ For God’s sake, cap tain, clear the raft, so that we can work. I wou’t desert the ship while there’s a timber above water.’’ But the sea was now flush w-ith the dead lights. Iq less than three minutes from the time he spoke, tbe stern 6unk—the foam went boiling over the tumbling heap of human be ings—many were dashed forward against the pipe. 1 heard one wild yell, (still ringing in my ears) and saw the Aictic and the struggling mass rapidly engulphed. Numbers yet clung imperiectly constructed raft; but, alas, we could |k render them no aid. Our own situation was no .less precarious; an I cruel as it seemed, we were lorced to abandon them to fate. Heaven forbid ■lbat I should ever witness such another scene. W», however picked up two more men, and then, with an overloaded boat, without food or drink, avoiding with difficulty the fragments of -toe wreck, and passing many dead females, pre pared for a night upon the ocean. We secured a floating pumpkin and cabbage to guard against immediate starvation, lashed a spar to tbe prow, ot our boat to keep her head to the wind and sea, and thus drifted until day-light; the night was cold and foggy, with a heavy swell, and, in drenched and half-naked condition, ** we suffered terribly. f . ■without dwelling upon the miseries, allevia ted much by the consciousness, that we had eu £g|oHfevoured to d y our duty to our feliow rnen, suffice it to say that at five o’clock on the after §! noon of the 28th, we espied a sail, and raised a to attract attention. We were h successful. With the rude substitute for oars which we had constructed during the day by lashing planks to capstan bars, with a view of attempting to gain land w-hen the sea subsided, we pulled toward the ship. On our way we passed the remnant of the raft, with one man £ on it, (Peter McCabe, waiter,) apparently alive. The fiarque proved to be the Huron, of St. Andrews, W. 8., Capt. A. Wall, bound for Que beck. Our men safe on board, the noble-heart ed Dorain, with some of the Huron’s crew, re turned to the raft, and rescued the poor fellow who for twenty-six heurs had clung to the spars. He states that after the steam-ship sunk, he counted seventy-two men and four women on the raft, but at 8J o’clock he was the only one alive. In the morning two bodies were beside him, much eaten by the fishes, and at the time he saw our boat he w r as on the point of voluntarily droping into the sea to end his agony. Coming from the raft, Dorain encoun tered and examined the life car-of the Arctic. It contained a bottle of water, some cheesse and a lady’s garment. By the humane captain of the Huron, and Mr. Wellington Cameron, a son of the owner, we were received with great kindness, our wounds were dressed, fires were kindled, and food and clothing were provided in abundance. During the night of the 28tn, Captain Wait hung out extra lights, fired rockets, and kept a horn blowing, in hopes of flailing in with the remainder of the boats. But bis endeavors were fruitless. On the evening of the 29th he •poke the ship Lebanon, Captain Story, bound for New York, by whom eighteen of our num ber were taken off, kindiy welcomed and well treated. We have this moment reached New York, by pilot boat Christian Berg, No. 16, to which we were transferred from the Lebanon andtothecrew of which wewereunder great obligations.^ Tbe fate of the propeller and our five boats is unknown. * * * * * Mr. Biahum's Statement While running in a very thick fog, the Arctic was struck cn the starboard bow, about 60 feet abaft the cutwater, by an iron steamer, w’bicb made three large holes jn the ship, two below the water, one of which was about five feet and a half long, and twelve or eighteen inches wide, the whole cutwater and stem of the iron steamer having passed through the Arctic's side So dense was the fog that the vessel could not be seen a minute before the collision. The wheel was put hard to starboard. The engine wa9 stop ped instantly and backed at full speed, until clear of the other steamer, which occupied a couple of minutes: The French steamer seen.ed to be sinking bow first. Capt. Luce immediately gave orders to clear away the quarter boats, which was done, and Mr. Gourley, cnief otfi :er, left the Arctic in charge of the starboard boat. On lowering the port boat the captain exclaimed, “ Hoist up that boat again, Mr. Baahlam,” and beckoned me to go to him. Upon doing so, he ordered me to go over the bow to ascertain, if possible, what damage had been done. I then found the holes above mentioned. Upon informing him ot the facts, he gave orders to’get sails up and try and get them round the bow to endeavor to stop the leak, which was jwomptly done, but to no advantage whatever, so much of the bow and iron broken off from the other steamer projecting that the sails could not be brought close to the vessel’s side. Ibe carpenter was then lowered,over the ves sel s side and pillows, and mattresses passed down to him to try it possible to force them in, but the leak was found to be so far below the water line that this could not be done, and every exertion to stop the leak proved unavailing. Capt. Luce then ordered the ship’s head to be kept for land, which bore N. W. by W. By this time we had lost sight of the chief officer’s boat and the other steamer, which we supposed had sunk. - We had not been on our course more than four or five minutes before we ran over a boat and crew belonging to the other vessel, all of whom perished, with the exception ot one who caught j hold of a rope hanging over the bow. Directly the boat was seen, orders were given to stop the ! engine, which the chief engineer said could not j be done, as the ship was fast sinking. In about thirty minutes all the lower tires were out, and there was at least three feet of water in tbe ship, fore and aft. By this time the contusiqsi among the passengers was very great, | but they used all efforts to assist the crew in keeping the deck pumps going, and in lightening the ship forward for the purpose of endeavoring to get at the leak from the inside, which was found to be useless. Numbers of them crowded into the boats which were still hanging to the davits. j In forty-five minutes after the ci llision. I came up from the fore hold and informed the captain j that the water was on the level with a lower j deck beams, and that it was impossible to get at the leak. I then asked him what he thought : would be the fate ot the ship, when he stated ! his belief to me, that there was no hope of saving,her. He then told me to see to my boats. On going to the port side, I found them com- ; , pletely filled with men, women and children, j and no possibility of getting near them. I im- | ■ mediately went to the starboard side and order ed two of the crew to lower the guard boat, and I asked the captain what were his intensions.— ’ He replied that “ the ships fate should be his.” : I then asked him would he not allow his son to | go, as I intend to take a boat, but he returned me the answer, that 1 ‘ he should share his I fate.” It was soon discovered that there was no hope of saving the Arctic, and tbe lady, daughter and i son of Mr. E. K. Collins, with several ladies, were put on board a boat, in lowering which : one of the tackels gave way, and all except, one lady, who clung to the sailor hold ng last to the boat, were precipitated into the sea and lost. I then jumped into a boat and was ordered by the captain to cutaway the tackle falls and drop under the stern. I did so, and at the same time | about twenty persons, I suppose, jumped over -1 board, of whom seventeen or eighteen were J picked up. We fell in with another boat, j which had been lowered from the other side, and lightened her of part of her complement, leaving nineteen in her and twenty-six in our j own boat. i The last sight we had of the ship her yards were level with the water, and the surface ot j ! the sea was strewn with human beings, who | ; had jumped or fallen overboard, to whom j | however, it was impossible to render any assis- ! j tance, and we soon lost sight of ail, as the log ; ; continued to be very dense. I then asked tr.e boat’s crew were they willing to be governed by me, which was unanimously assented to, and I was put in complete command of both boats. We were then about sixty miles S. E. of Cape Race. Deeming it my duty to take the nearest course, for the safety of all, after pulling for forty hours with nothing to guide us but the \ run of the sea, which I took to be heaving from j tbe Southward, and in a thick fog, which lasted 1 . | all the time, we reached Broad Cove, twelve j miles North of Cape Race. We then proceeded by land to Renews, which we reached cn Friday last. I there obtained j and took charge of a small schooner, which was j hired by the pursuer and myself, and proceeded 1 immediately in search ol the wreck or the boats, j We cruised round in a strong gale of wind from , the North East, but discovered no trace of the j ship or boats. » Tbe Arctic Catastrophe. Furthar Particular $— Safety of the Iron Propeller. j Further Rescues of the Arctic ’s Crew. | Halifax, Oct. 12—We have dates from New 1 j Foundland to the 4th, which announces the ar lival of the French screw steamer Vesta, at St. j Johns, on the 3J mst., with her foremast and j bows shattered to pieces, she being the vessel that came in collision with the Arctic. She ! picked up and brought into port 31 of the Arc- | tic’s crew. The Vesta lost 13 of her passengers, supposed i to be those who were run down by the Arctic in j a small boat. Three of the Arctic’s boats have not yet been heard from, but being life boats, they are sup posed to have been picked up. The vessels sent in search returned ou the 3 J without success— not having lound the slightest trace. > As regular communication between this and Newfoundland is but once a fortnight, that period will probably elapse before we bear anything j further with regard to those saved on board the Vesta. It is probable, however, that the steam er Osprey, sent to convey the passengeis of tjA, j City of Philadelphia to Philadelphia, may here. She was expected to leave St. John’s on the Bth inst. C. T. Mitchell, of Charleston, S. C., i 3 among those saved, who left here with the others rescued on tbe Europa. New York, Oct. 11.—After carefully sifting all the testimony, the agents of the Arctic en tertain strong hopes, amounting almost to a cer tainty, that Mrs. Collins and a lsr-e number ot other ladies were placed on one of the boats and safely launched under the immediate supervision ot Capt. Luce himself, The third mate denies the statement that they were thrown into the sea by the breaking of the davits, but that they were placed in a boat with abundance of pro visions. " • Boston, Oct. 12.—A gentleman who arrived ! here this morning on the train from New York, states that there was a report at Fall River that a vessel loaded with Railroad iron had arrivedjat Warren. R. 1., with forty persons picked up from one of the missing boats of the Arctic. ! Providence, Oct. 12.—A special messenger from Warien, R. I, reports the arrival of the ship Margaret, which spoke the pilot boat which had put a pilot on board the ship Lebanon, and hence the rumor of another boat load of the pas i seugers of the Arctic having been saved and i brought into that port. New York, Oct. 15—Capt. Luce, seven pas sengers, and five of the crew of the ill-fated steamship Arctic, were picked up on a raft, by the ship Cambridge, and taken to Quebec. So far, one hundred and nineteen persons are known to be saved. Negroes in Canada.— The Toronto Colonist, referring to the suggestion which has been i thrown out by some Southern journals, fora treaty with Great Britain, which should secure the restoration of fugitive slaves, takes occasion to make the following remarks on the “condition and prospects” of this poor deluded class, whom a ruffianly philanthropy bns torn from their! homes, and sent to shiver and starve in the icy ! regions of the North. Tbe fugitive slaves are already felt to Bb a nuisance in Canada, and be fore long will be treated as such: “But, a9. we said before, many deplore the greatinflux of slaves into this Province* It is stated that, during tbe last few years, not Jess than fiom eleven to twelve thousand of them have settled in the county of Kent alone. Mr. Larwill represents this cofmty, which has been more or less demoralized, or rather brutalized, by the horrible system of slavery. Moreover, in this same county of Kent, a large tiact of land has been purchased for a negro settlement, por tions of which are rented or sold to the negro; some say the sole object of the owners of tbis land is a philanthropise one, while others hint at their chief motive as being a sordid love of gain. However, Mr. Larwill appears to apprehend evii trom such an exclusive settlement—a State with in a State; and he is therefore desirous of check ing negro emigration into this Province by ex acting a pod tax from all fugitives in future, to which end be has given notice of the following ..motion in his place in Parliament: That this house will gladly stfow a 1 beral spirit and friendly disposition towards the United States for their generous conduct in legis'ating upon this matter (reciprocity); and that in proof j of such disposit on their part, the Provincial Legislature will hereafter exact from negro im migrants a poll tax ia amount to that now im j posed upon otbsr lorsigners— will not iocorpor- ate any association lor the special benefit of men ] of color as a class, and will discourage the pro- I motion of any institution the object and end whereof be a junction with the abolitionists of the Northern States, to bring about a severance of the American Union. The settlement in the county of Kent to which we have alluded is very unpopular in that coun ty, and perhaps Mr. Larwill, in moving the above resolution, is only acting in conformity to the wishes of his constituents. As for giving up any slaves now in Canada, or that may hereafter come into it, the thing is out of the question. It cannot be done. AUGUST/, GA. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1864.

How to Become a Cadet. —From an artiicle in Putnam’s Magazine, for August, on ‘ West Point Cadet Life,” we quote the following : “ How can I become a Cadet,” is a qnestion naturally prone to arise in a young American’s min'd*, when stirred by life and leathers. Briefly this. For each Congerssional District one Ca det is allowed, whose appointment is in the gilt of the Representative to Congress from the Dis trict. Contingencies considered, a vacancy oc curs about once in three years for each District. So your appointment depends first, ou there be ing a vacancy in jour District, and secondly, on your worthy or unworthy Member of Con gress. The President makes twelve appointments at large each year, but as you value your peace of mind, do not hope to be one of his elect. And be not over-sanguine on any score, for it is said that during the Mexican war he had ten thousand applications in oneyear. Appoint ments all come from the Secretary of War, j to whom a formal application should be made; ; but your M. C. really selects for appointment. Now, a far more vital question for you to con sider i 3, are you fit to be appointed? Os nine ty-six Caietsappointed in the class of 1840,0n -1y twenty-five graduated, and generally from a hall to a third of those first appointed doff' the Cadet to don the Brevet. TbeTsurgeou’s examination often signifies ex eunt for a dozen neophytes, and as many moria exhibit idiosyncracies in reading and writing," orthography and aiitbmatic, that the unsyrn patnixing quietly remands them back to citizen ship. Then comes the January exhibition, where algebiaic wrecks are consigned in fearful num bers to the parental underwriters. So, too, in June and Jannary, even to the last, the ill-bal lasted, the weak-helmed, the mal-adapted, are singled out from among tbeir stouter fellows, and with stern justice are bauished from seas too rough for them. The martial aspirant should consider these things before becoming a Cadet, and remember that Cadetship is no mere holiday training, no refined peacockism, but a four years of discip line to body, mind and heart, severer by far than any other educational course on land in volves. But if a sentiment of vigorous man hood, a courage patiently to endure present tri ! al for future good, and if an orderly zeal for in tellectual culture and baidihood are living facts in bis n ttnre, then I know not how a youth can become so much a man as by a West Point sducatioa.
