Seven passenger* left the vasscl on a life raft, and about forty more took to the rig ging. At 10:80 a. m., the Gay Head life-boat put off, and took se ven persons. Another life-boat put off between 11 and 1 o’clock. The revenue cutter Dexter came along about 12:30 and sent off two boats. Twenty-one persons, one off whom was dead, were placed on board the Dexter and after all the persons were taken on hoard the Dexter proceeded to New Bedford. Three persons died after going on board the Dexter. Four dead bodies were brought to this city on the Dexter. They are all men. One is identified — Two are identified as Helen Brook’s of Northboro, Mass., and G. Fred Chandler of Hyde Park, Mass. The other is a man, supposed, from a card found in his pocket, to he one of the firm of C. Richardson & Co., of Clinton Market, Boston. One of the passengers lost was A. K. Mor ton, lately connected with a Bos ton firm, who was going south for his health. the dangerous dredge. The ledge on which the City of Columbus struck is considered by mariners to be one of the most dan gerous points on the coast. The ledge consists of a formation of sub merged rocks constituting a dou ble ledge, the outer stratum of which is called the Devil’s Rock, both ledges being called the Devil’s Bridge. The ledges are abreast of Gay Head lighten the mainland.— The outer ledge is formed like the gable of a house, so that a vessel You have been indulged t we.lve months, and surely .pin pay what you owe the old firm of Stewart & Son.

Returning to the cutter, he asked Captain Gabrielson to give him a man to steer, that he might swim to the wreck and rescue the unfortunate man. The captain granted the request and Lieutenant Riiobes was placed in the boat, but on nearing the steamer it was found to he folly to attempt to get alongside. Lieutenant Rhodes re fused to abandon the attempt, and sang out to the man in the life boat to take him to the wreck. Lieutenant Rhodes hoarded the lifeboat, and tying a rope about him waited until he was within thirty feet of the vessel, when he sprang into the sea. He had nearly reach ed the wreck when he was struck by a piece of timber on the leg and sank. He was pulled aboard the boat and taken to the litter. His leg was found to be cut, hut after changing his clothing, as the sea was smoother, he determined to make the last attempt. He again set out for the wreck, and this time the men were reached. One was hanging with his feet and arms From the T,a< 1 range Reporter. The Columbus ft Rome R. R. The Romo Courier very justly charges that the corporation which controls this road has, in making a proposition to divert it to Green ville, instead of extending it in the direction in which it was originally intended it shouldjie built and was chartered to be bujlt, defeated the intention of the. Legislature in granting the charter and granting it aid. It is true that the road has passed out of the feands of its origi nal incorporators, and even out of the possession of the State, hut, as we understand it, a charter is a per petual law—the condition of a road’s existence. AYe do not blame the citizens offMeriwether for desir ing the connection and for subscrib ing to have the road finished to their county site; but Columbus, a pent-up city, n£eds the outlet through LaGrange to Rome, for all the interests of her commerce, much more than she needs the ad ditional local trade which the extension of the road to Greenville will bring her. It is evident that it is not only a bottling, but a stifling, policy which is being pursued towards Georgia’s chief manufac turing city. She needs relief from the monopoly that is oppressing her —competitive transportation- much more than She requires fthis addition to her already large cotton receipts. LaGrange has just cause to complain of the great in justice done her. For years her cit izens have carried a heavy burden of indebtedness, incurred in aiding the construction -of a road which, though graded to Within sight of her spires, brought her worse than noth ing, in that it not only saddled her with a big debt' ^hut started into existence a rival, town. AYe still hope that, by some favoring events, the Columbus & Rome may become what its name implies—an iron link between two of Georgia’s most pros perous and growing cities. As such it will be a. glorious enterprise—a great longitucj^al line, bring the products.of tf^Kountains to the tropics and transporting the fruits of pur sunny section, to the North. What we have written is in no spirit of unfriendliness to our neigh hors of Greenville, whom we wish well, but in simple vindication of the spirit and letter of the law which authorized the construction of this road and of the claims of those who, in the expectation that the law would he complied with, contributed largely of their means to promote the enterprise. AVe may. add that the Reporter should, at least, have the charity of a hear ing, as its ardent and persistent advocacy did more to arouse the people of this section to a sense of its importance than all other agencies combined. AYe may truly What They Liked to Eat. The Philadelphia Press is respon sible for the following: Senator Joe Browu, of Georgia, is quite a plebeian in his taste, as the following will show. A half dozen politicians, many of them worth many times their weight in gold and all of them fond of the table, were chatting in the Metropolitan hotel last night. The subject of conversation was their favorite viands. One hv one they went over various delicious morsals smacking their lips as they menti oned them. Each had his fovorite. Wade Hampton liked quail on toast and bourbon whiskey. An thony preferred good fat turkey with oyster stuffing, washed down with red wine of Burgundy, while Senator Butler, of South Carolina, grew eibijiuent over terrapin and dry champagne. All this time Joe Brown sat with a sneer play ing above his long white beard, and said nothing. At last he blurted out: “Well, gentleman, you may have your terrapin, you red birds, your turkeys and your oysters, but for a good square meal I’ll take fat puddle-duck roasted and sweet ta- ters!” through the ratlines, and his head was hanging down, Lieut, Rhodes «.v that the treiu-hai.t, appealing when put the bow line about him, lie murmured: “For God’s sake don’t tucli me.” The man, who was afterward found to he Air. Richardson, was placed in a boat, but died before reaching the cutter. About four hundred dollars was found In a wal let in his pocket. The second man who was the last person removed from the wreck, was in the ratlines and rigging. Although breathing when placed in the boat he also ex cutter.

Each ensuing day makes more prominent the fact that we have come upon the time when the me chanic is master. AYe have crowd ed professions and ill-filled trades. A chance to fill the position as sub- assistant, clerk in a wholesale house is ea gerly grasped at by* a hundred applicants, though the wa ges received be scarely more than ‘a chance to learn the business.’ Let a master workman try to obtain an apprentice at three times the salary offered the clerk and his applicants will be poor alike in quantity and q ualitv. A skilled workman in any trade need never want for hire; he is eagerly sought after by a hundred employers; he is independent of the condition of the market: the skill and cunning of his hand and eye are too valuable to lose, and must be paid whether the products are slowly or rapidly consumed.— If business ceases, the master hand is eagerly seized by some rival house, which knows and values the product ‘>f his skill.

People complain of the cost of awyef’s f£es, but they must re member that one way to keep out is to do business is so straight and mug a manner that there will be no necessity for. bringing suits, or defending suits brought by others. It is the loose manner in which many people do business which creates misunderstandings and dis putes, the forerunners of litigation If you don’t like to pay doctor’s bills, don’t get sick. To avoid sick ness, live temperately, get plenty of sleep, sunshine and are, and obey Nature’s simple laws. The same good rules apbly to business. Do what you have to do well and care fully.

Bad Tetth and Dyspepsia While every one is liable to suffer at times with indigestion, no mat ter how well preserved their den tal organs may have been, there cannot be found to-day one whose teeth are decayed, broken off, and out of order generally, that does not suffer continually with “heart burn” or some of the multifarious gastric troubles incident to such a condition of the oral cavity. Persons having no teeth, or those whose teeth have been neglected and allowed to become diseased, arc unable to masticate their food properly, which is deficiently mixed with saliva (a very essential auxili ary in the digestion of solid sub stances,) and therefore, this food, being carried into the stomach without proper trituration and in salivation, imposes double duty up on the grastric apparatus—that of mastication aud digestion. Again, carious teeth serve for lodgement of particles of food which are retained in and about the or gans until fermentation is set up. Friends, did you over think of it, those whose teeth are rotten and rotting, that your mouths are regu lar cesspools? And this putrescent matter is conveyed into the stom ach continually with the saliva, and consequently produces an irrita tion of the lining membrane which is the worst and not uncommon form of dyspepia, which is impos sible to cure (not even with the 900, 900,000 patent medicines in the mar ket,) until the dental organs have first received proper attention. In deed cases of dyspepsia of years standing have been been perma nently cured by judicious attention to the oval cavity, and without medicinal agents to any extent; when on the contrary all the medi cines that can be given will not ef fect a cure until the cause is remov ed Nay more than this; in all mouths where are tartar-covered and de caying teeth there are millions of parasites which are also car ried into the aeimentary'canal, and it may he produces other complica ted and serious diseases, the origin of many of which arc unknwn.

A farmer living a few miles from Austin, whose wife was troubled with an aching tooth, decided to come to town with the purpose of having it extraced.
