GOVERNOR'S ELECTION-- THE ISSUE. “WHO ARE FEDERALISTS?” few mftti'hs ago. the advocates for the election of Judge McDonald, were indus triously engaged in enlightening the people upon the doctrines of Federalism, and one would have supposed, from the zeal which they displayed, the spirited manner with ,v!,tcli they entered into a discussion of. and th abuse which they poured upon t'i <se who were tinctured -vith, Federal principles, that their candidate for Govenor w as juiui icul ite up »:i this s'thpvt —an enemy to all the doctrines of the Federal party— .pul. in every resp. ct, iitertain'mg and sup porting doctrines of an opposes character. Had the Statp Rights presses been less vi.il.uit. or bad they exercised a different pelt V. in remaining silent for a time lon had “they allowed the “Democracy” ■•rope enough” with regard to the interes m" query, ■•Who are Federalists?” which the Opposition so vigorously commenced a discussion of: had they not quite so soon disclosed to the people the important truth, that the ” Democratic" can ii date far Governor ), a | been, during the whole of his political life, the warm supporter and distinguished advocate of those very doctrines so much abuse 1 by the Vau Duron papers; Indthey pursued this course, much trouble would hive been saved to the n, and Judge Mc- Donald would have had great reason in agony t i exclaim, • If that's the way you hick your friends, a plague upon such bucking." Now that the election is near at hand, we hear nothing from our oppo nents in defence of the position which their candidate has hitherto occupied as a pub lic man, but it will be readily perceived by the most casual observer, that the strongest deposition manifests itself on tho part of .. ;t!gc McDonald's supporters, to give the subject, which they thems-hr-s first presen -10 1 to the consideration of the people, the “go The issue which they appeared so anxious to make, when met by the State Rights pariv, lias been abandoned, not, w presume, “w.itlimit a pang,” but with in tense mortification.

In what a positon are they now pj iced with rcg.'.i i to the claims of their i.a li late lor support? They have dis linetly avowed their utter abomination of i’adera' principles and of Federalist*, and ue- have as distinctly assertained. and jhovkd »s wed >s asserted, that Judge MuD jnvld has been, during his past politi i .1 life, an atlvoc.i’e of those very principles, aid an opkn and avow id Fkdkkalis r.— We have specified our charges against Jiiiy as a public man or.' . —for ill private life he may he pas essrd of qualities claiin e ! for him by his friends, calculated to in ike him, not only a useful member of, bat an ornament to society —but they shrink fr in an investigation ol those charges, aa] show every disposition to evade the true point at issue, too, which they were rb ■ first to present, and th” first to abandon.

D.Y I’ION in our Govern oent -a-xl we have charged him with being a FKDEUALIS P “in the common acceptation of the term. On tio contrary, we have advocated the election of Judge Dougherty, because lie is, in private life, no less distinguished than s his oppo nent, for his gentlemanly deportment, and the influence which his virtues exercise in society. But not on account of his prioate virtues do the Stn<“ Bights party place Judge Daugherty before the poonle as tlieir eandi late for governor. If is be cause of, and on account of his ardent-and LONG CONTINUED SUPPORT of doctrine*, not at war with the interests and CONSTITUTION of our country, but in perfect consonance with that instrument, to which, as long as the banner of State Rights waves ever the party in Georgia. not one jot added thereto, nor one tittle extrac ted therefrom, will receive the support or countenance of the candidate of the State Rights party for Governor.— It is because he is a TRUE HEARTED REPUBLI CAN of the old school, that the name of CHARLES DOUGHERTY is prese-ted to the people for their support. It is be cause he possesses TALENTS of SU PERIOR order, and industrious habits, that will ensure attention to the responsible and arduous duties of the Executive, that the State Rights party will rally to his sup port, and sustain hi* election at the polls on the first Monday in October next. The issue made by our adversaries, we have fearlessly met, and wc have had every reason to believe, that tltvy have prudently, but ingloriously retreated therefrom. With them, however, to “bo. r the compass," is an old and sometimes well played game, which even now we expect to see played before the election, but which we shall be vigila it to prevent being played with a “stocked han ! We are laJ to this conclusion from the j fact that whenever they have hitherto lacked j I argument, resort ha* been had to other means. Having failed in tills rrspect some weeks past, we are now on the “look out” for something else, wiiich, whatever it wav he, we are prepared, if true, to ackuoa ledge, il sophistical or FALSE, to EXPOSE. From the Southern Recorder. We have hitherto exhibited our gtour proving the justice and propriety ot placing the approaching election lor CbtfMagis tme specifically on the choice by the peo ple nf republican doctrines and practice on the one hand, and federal doctrine and prac tice on the other. To the grounds sei forth by lissome weeks ago, in proof of our posi tion, we have not seen even an attempted answer. They have been passed, so lar as has met our eye, by the press supporting Judge McDonald, without one word in denial, palliation, or explanation. If they could be successfully met, would they not have been ? We leave that lor the deter mination of the people. In the mean time, as we believe the specifications to bear us out Inliy in the position we assume, and as those specifications setting forth Judge McDonald's political opinions to the best ot our belief, are such as we candidly believe do not meet, and never did meet tiie appro val of thejmajority of the people of Georgia, we reinsert those specifications, that tiiey may be prominent y in the eye of the citi zens oi Georgia, who desire attlie appioach mg election to vote intelligently in regard to the politics of the contending candi dates. Judge McDonald, as a Federalist, by the TIIE MUSI' latii'idii.arian construction of the Constitution which has ever been set up by ilie strongest members of the Feder al Farty, claims tor the Federal Government ilia rig it to co luoi al l sat astje the criminal laws of the ti ales, acting on their oivu lim ! its. Witness the “Tassels” case, by which ' the Federal Government, by its Judiciary, claimed the right and essayed to exercise it, of arresting the course of the law of the Slate, in relation to a murde.er tried and convicted within the limits of the State. Were we to concoct a case, to prove what Federalism was, or to present a case of more thorough laxity, in regard to the construc tion ol the Constitution. could we imagine one more palpable, more irresistable than trie one before ls ? . We could not, and if Judge McDonald's friends will deal with ordinary camlo l ', they will say the same them selves. 2dly. Judge McDonald, so far as we are aware, has always sided with t'te Federal Government, in its unconsti'ulionat en croachments on the rights of the States.— Witness his views in relation to Gov. Troup’s resistance of the unconstitutional action of the Federal Government, in relation to the Western portion of Georgia, then io posses sion of the Indians. Did Judge McDonald aid Troup in his .noble maintenance of the rights of his State, in that comrovercy ? Did he unite with others in the cry of Troup and the Treaty ! Or did he aid and coun tenance tire monstrous attempts of John Quincy Adams, in his threats to use the bayonet against the people of Georgia? We leave these questions to be answered by his rieiuis who nominated him to go vern that State 1 at their best leis ure. 3d!y. On the Tariff question Judge Mc- Donald is, if we do not greatly err, through ly federal and unsound in his opinions. While we do not charge upon Judge Mc- Donald the advocacy of the odious tariffs imposed upon the country , we do aver, if we are not greatly deceived, that Judge McDonald does pronounce and and believe the tariffs imposed to be constitmio al. liuwevcr unjust they may be. In this he is unsound and unsafe (or the South. 4tl;ly. The same may be said, if we are not greatly in error, in regard to his constitutional opinions in relation to the constitutional power of Congress over the subject of slavery in the District of Colum bia. Does Judge McDonald believe that Congress is prohibited, by the Constitution from legislation on the subject nf slaveiy in the District of Columbia? We believe that Judge McDonald believes no such thing— that however much he may be opposed to such action by Congress, (and we have no doubt he is as honestly opposed to such action by Congress, as w*» are ourselves! yet lie does not and will not declare that the Constitution prohibits such-action. On this point, then, we deem Judge McDon ald federal in his principles, and unsafe in the practical result of such principles. stlily. The same may be said, with truth, of the Judge, in relation to a National Bank. He finds no barrier in the Constitu tion to a National Bank—with 1 is politics he never can --but at present he deems such an institution inexpedient; no constitutional barrier being in tiie way, see the security we have on all subj -cts left to mere expe diency. To-day Judge McDonald deems such an institution inexpedient, and would oppose i'; b“t yesterday, deeming such an institution expedient, he would have advo cated it ; and to-morrow his present views of inexpediency may again change, and he may support it again. So of every oilier subject, when we are not guarded by a constitutional guaranty -the only guaranty of the liberties of the people. Mere ex pedient y is a Will of the Wisp, whose light is only the light of delusion and danger— the Constitution is themiepolar star, whose light does not mislead the political mariner, and a guide by which lie may always hope to steer the ship of State in the true course for the safety, hapetness and prosperity of the people. POSITIVELY SHOCKING!! KVER since the noininatinn of JUDGE DOUGHERTY, ns the candidate of the State Rights Party for Governor, our neigh bor of the Standard has been “at fault,” until recently, when, his attention being directed to the Journal of 1830, as affording evidence of the fed :ral principles of JUDGE i\lc DONALD, he has made a most notable discovery!!! And reader, tvlnt think jon * s ' l - 'hat JUDGE DOUGHERTY k »Nullifier? No. That he favoured the establishment ol a United States Bank ? No. That i»f* voted against the tariff resolutions? No. Thai he sub mitted to tlie imperious mandate oi the Supreme Court in the Tassels case? Why no. Nothing of all this ! These are trifling matters. Not worth noticing at this peculiar crises. But for the discovery, says th° reader. Let’s hear what that is!! Well you shall have it, although it is positively shocking. It appears, so says the Stand ard of Union, by (he Journal of 1830, that Judge Dougherty was willing to surrender up Ike rights of the Slate into the hands of the Federal Government!! Why this is positively shocking. We intimated some lime ago, and we verily believe that the time is fast appro.ching, when our neigh bour of the Standard, with that modesty pe culiar t‘>, and which distinguishes, ibe partisans of Mr. Van Buren, will assume the once luted name of Nul ifier, and place J UD /E DOUGH E RT Y among those who. Ike JUDGE MeDONALD, entertained doctrines subversive of a!! Republican prin-i cipies. And what think you, reader, is the ground upon which the Standard bases liiis grave charge ? Why it appears that, in ltj-10, J liomas H tynes, Enquire, then a member ot the Legislature from tiiecouutv ot Hancock, thought proper to introduce resolutions to the Home, authorizing a suivey of the Cherokee country, which said resolutions, not meeting with the appro bation of many of the members, they Lav ing tiie fullest confidence that what General Jackson promised he would perform, differed with the mover of ihe resolutions, and voted against their adoption. This we believe to be a plain statement of the case, and it is tor ibis that our neighbour charges our candidate with being wilting to surrender up the rights of the State i- to the hands of the Federal Government. In other words, that he is opposed to State Rights. Posi tively it >s shocking. That JUDGE 1 DOUGHERTY, who has twice received a nomination for Governor at the hands of the State Rights Party, should be opposed to State Rights principles, is tru y alarming ; and wonderful is it, that aliho there is much wisdom and intelligence in both political parties of our State, neither if them have had men in tlieir ranks, so fortunate as to make the discovery, until recently. Why. neighbour, your charge is posittvelu shock ing ! What, JUDGE DOUGHEII TVop |.oi ed to State Rights I Neighbour, we cannot be grave upon this Subject, but must laugh; pray excuse us. lia! ba! ha! tia ! ha!— Georgia Journal. From t 1 e Southern Recoorder. The political contest is drawing to a close, so far as the General Election is concerned. Probably ail that will be said lor or against either candidate, has by this time been said, aud the inuitis of the voters of'Georgia, are by this time pretty well settled, as to tlieir choice. In the controversy which has taken place pending this election, with the Fed eral Union we heartily rejoi.-e, that with slight except ions, it has been conducted in the spirit of manliness and magnanimity, re ferring generally to the political position of the candidates, and almost wholly relieved fiom personal vituper.oiand bitterness. This is as it should be always, although uu. fortunately it has been hut too rarely the case in Georgia. For this calmness of controversy so un sual, we are probably indebted to the per fectly well ascertained political opinions of the two candidates for the Executive chair before the people; so perfectly are the peo ple of Georgia informed in regard to the politics and polical actions of both these gentlemeu, that any attempt to mystify them in relation thereto, would be as bootless as it would be nncandid. Knowing then tlie utter vanity of such sn attempt, it seems to be conceded by all, that the voice of Georgia shall be fairly heard on this occasion, and her determination calmly listened to, in her decision between Feder alism on the one hand, and Republicanism on the other. The issue is fairly made, the parlies have been as faiily heard, ii only oow remains lor the people to render their ver dict between them at the polls. buch being the state of the gubernatorial contest, it would be doing, in our opinion, gross injustice to the political principles of the people of Georgia, so long and so stead fastly maintained, to fear the result of their verdict now. We cannot for an instant sup pose tl at the republican feeling of Georgia is revo 1 unionized—that the people have abandoned '.he old republican creed so lung and so fondly prized by them, for that which they have so long and so strenuously op posed. It is uotsu. The great body of the people of Georgia, have not deteriorated, eith.rtn intelligence, or in sound republi canism and their verdict will prove that they both appreciate tlieir principles, and will maintain them. And with the people we cheerfully leave the matter; the cause of their po’hlcal principles are and ought to be in their own hands, and we should tie weak indeed if we could be made to believe that the people would defeat their own princi ples. Altliougli the character of Judge Dough erty is well known to tiie people of Georgia, it inay uot be ivitlioul gratification to the friends of tiiat gentleman, who support him for the elevated post, which his p; rty has called him to seek, to glance at those qual ifications which have obtained for that gen ileman the voice of a great party, tor the highest office they can offer him. In the Legislature, at the bar, or on the bench, Judge Dougherty has been alike sig nally distinguished for sound judgment, en larged information, and manly firmness ; as in every relation in life he has been distin guished for unsullied and unquestioned iu- of character, aud or tbe plainness and simplicity of genuine republican man ners. Asa politician, he has been the con sistent aud uniform Republican, amid all the collisions of party. If in the political career of ttiis gentleman, there is to be found dire liction of duty, or a single abandonment of principle, we have never heard of it. The Standard of Union, to be sure, “ solitary and alone." lias attempted to ra sea ghost, but like Glendower spirits, it wouldn’t come.— Its attempt to make the people of Georgia believe that Charles Dougherty is a sub missiouist, has wholly and la- entably failed. So utterly inconsistent with the un form tenor of Judge Dougherty's life, so well known to the people of Georgia, is such a charge, that the dose has been tat her mote than even the most thorough going and thrice heatei 1 partizan could swallow; and it has only .served to prove the unassailable character of our candidate, when such a charge so utterly incredible became the des perate resort of the Standard. Judge Dougherty’s reputation as a politician, and as a nnu, is without reproach, and above it. He has filled with distinguished and uni versallv acknowledged abi'ity, every station to which the voice of his country has called him. and if ever the friends of any man could promptly and satisfactorily answer Thomas Jefferson’s test for office, the friends of Judge Dougherty cart. “He is honest, and he is capable,'' and what is more the whole people of Georgia, know him to be so. These are some of the traits of character of ffhe Republican State Rights candidate (o'- Govefor.

The Van Buren men profess to have implicit confidence in their candidate—aod well they may, for he is a true exponent of their creed. Judge McDonald has labored long and arduously iu tbe of tite great Democratic, Van Buren, Legged Sub- Treasury Party. Do the other hand.

He has manfully stood up lor the independence ol Judiciary, and of the Senate of the United States when both have been trampled on by the inini-ns of tiie ruling Dynastry. in short he is on the side ot the People—Judge McDonald is on the side of Power—Choose ye, men of Georgia, “which of the two, ye w ill have to rule over you.”— Macon Messenger. DARIEN BANK BILLS. The Daren Herald in copying the article from the Federal Union, relative io the re fusal of the Central Bank and State Treas ury to receive ihe Dariau Bank Bills, says:— “Io order to counteract the injurious in fluence of the paragraph, we beg to state, on the authority of a friend, that the Bank ofDirien will resume spee'e payments 'll) 1 lie course ol a very short time, and in season to meet ihe warns of the appioachmg tall buisuess,” We have seen letters from Darien and New \ ork, by which we are induced to he- • lieve that the Darien Bank wll be able to resume specie payments within a short time, say the latter part of October, or the first of November, and would therefore advise holders ot bills not to part with them at a sacrifice. FROM FLORID*. Bv the steam packet Florida Capt. Nock arrived on Monday, we received the Cast tto’ir/a Advocate of Saturday last, front which we copy the following: M ORE IN DIA NNE W S A gentleman diiect from Middle Florida informs ns, that on the 28th ult, while a par ty of regulars attached to a post near the Suwannee River, were engaged in building a bridge about two miles from the Fort, they were fired on by a party of Indians (the number our informant did not know ) and six of their number hiked. They were un der the command ol a Sergeant, who was among the slain. They were rallied by a private, and although inferior in point of numbers to their savage foe, succeeded in heating the Indians back, and securing their dead and wounded. Six of their uumber shouldered each a dead man, and retreated the Indians pursuing and firing upon them. They succeeded however, in getting to the Fort, promptly returning the fire of the In dians during the whole distance. The con duct nf ihe regulars in this short but severe engagement, is said to have been very brave ami soldier like. Three or four Indians were seen to fall, being borne off by their companions— Savannah Republican. A drought is now prevailing, probably to a greater extreme than has been known in this country since its settlement. In the Cherokee counties as many as three fourths of the cieeks and branches, and many of tiie springs, are dried up. A great distress and inconvenience is suffered by the stop page of nearly all the Mills, and the imprac ticability of obtaining Meal and Flour. In some parts, com and wheat have been sent front fifty to seventy-five miles to be ground ; and all the Mills now running are literally crowded with bags. Vegetation is parched up, and the leaves ar** falling from the trees or withering on the branches. The dust in the roads lies like a bed of hot ashes and rises in clouds, almost sufficient to suffocate the traveller. Notwithstanding this long and severe drought, the crops of corn is very fine, owing to frequent showers at tiie proper season, which moistened the surface of the earth without penetrating it so as to raise the streams. The wheat crop is also very good. In ibis vicinity the drought is also ex treme, hut fewer of the water courses are dry. The Cotton crop is suffering materi ally from it, and will be much short of the anticipations formed a few weeks since. Macon Meescnger. THE GALE. Republican Office, Washington N. C. Monday, Sept. 2,1839 The following appalling acc utit is by a gentleman who was on the spot, and witness ed the scene which he discribes : Our coast has recently been visited by a storm, more violent perhaps than any here tofore known. On Monday evening, 26th iflt., the roaring of the surf gave evidence to the practiced ear of approaching danger while a clear sky and southern bieezc served but to lull suspicion in the hearts of those who confide to such treacherous omens- By Wednesday, at noon, the whole coast seemed to tremble under the ocean's surge. The wind then changed to E. N, E., grad ually increasing, and by Thursday morning it blew with tremendous violence. As night shut in the storm increased, filling the sounds and 'tvers with the water from the sea, and threatening destruction to ev"ry obstacle that offered to impede its progress. By midnight the scene in Portsmouth and else where was fearful and grand in the extreme. The wind having changed to N- IS. W blew with unabated lurv. driving the angry waters from the Bound completely over the Island, with a force that defies description. The rain fell in torrents; while the wind, lifting the waters up, swept them onward, apparently in sheets, that were snow-drift white. The awful roaring of the ele.menls resembled a continual peal of deep thunder, and seemed to ring the death knell to every ear. There were a few houses upon the island where toe rushing waters had not now reached the floors, which were rising and heaving within as the forcing of a door through which death stood prepared to ni ter. Consternation filled every breast; and during an hour when the waters seemed neither to rise nor fall, it is difficult to im agine the feelings of those who were alive to (he dangers which surrounded them. The storm having now spent itsfury, the waters gradually receded ; and the first sight of land cheered every heart. As the day broke, and the gale abated, a heart-sickening sight presented itself among the shipping near the island. Vessels were sunk, ashore, capsized, dismasted, with their exhausted crew clinging to the wrecks, and by signals imploring succor. Bo soon as tbe sea was sufficiently calm, boats put off, man ned by the hardy pilots of the island, and brought the sufferers to shore. We annex a * list ofthe vessels wrecked, front which it will **' en that Capt.

A LATE SHIPWRECK. Correspondence of the Boston Ti irs. Warwick Hotel, J Cohassett, August 13, 1839. y Friend K—l have just returned from one of the most exciting scenes it can fall to tiie lot of man to witness. This morning, as I sat at breakfast, our host name with tile in formation that a vessel was ill danger in the Oiling The storm had raged furiou.slv for the last twenty four hours. We had been under the severitv of a north caster forty eiaht hours; and I know that from two to four o’clock, this morning, there was a ter rible blow, for the tviud alternately howled, as if in deep agony, or hissed and whistled as if iu mockery of all earthly bounds. We rose up, and made out, by the glasses, that the vessel was a schooner, with a deck load of lumber, under, a nipple reefed foresail with her mainsail gone, anti her jib Rying in riband! The sea was raging high and furious, and the schooner labored in vain to make her way in toward Nantasket Beach. The wind was about northeast, and she was only able, for a full half hour, to hold !ver own; while sea and wind both set her steadily to leeward, toward dreadful rocks and ledges which have been fatal to so many mariners. She tried . aid, but in vain. Atone moment she rode upon a sea iu clear view, toe next even her foresail was bidden in the trough of the sea, and at every moment she came nearer and nearer the fatal rocks. “ll he does uot wear ship and stand Out to sea, all is lost.” /Fe prepared, and rush ed down to the rocks to witness the catastro phe. But the captain had come to the same conclusiou, aud when we came id view of him upon the beach, he was standing out, pitching and rolling aud tumbling, like a plaything that the wave* were tossing from one to the other. The aspect of the weath er was still unfavorable, it was low tide, and as rlie wind generally rises with the tide, it might be expected, in two or tljiee hours, to bejasbad as it hid been at night What could he do ? If be kept out, he might be driven to sea and swamped. There was no harbor nigh. Suddenly, lie wore ship again, and stood in between the rocks. He had left Black Rock on his left,and Seal Rock on his right in running out and now, with a mere span of sail, and a craft laboring as if exhausted Imt still struggling, lie had to make his way between ledges above and below water, to tou”hanv one of which would be destruc tion to the vessel, and death to every soul oc board. I had watched her, by this time, with the utmost intensity, for about t*o hours. Cohassett bad poured down her people among w horn are some of the hardiest ami he«t sailors in the world. The beach was thronged, as if men had leaped out of the rocks ; „li watching coolly, but intently, tlie movements of the schooner. The captain dared not trust himself to sea in such a tem pest, and was making for a small bit of beach surrounded, on every hand by rock 6 visible or sunken, as the breakers too phinly show ed ; and every row and then, when the great sea came rolling on, water and foam and spray flew upwards from the rocks thirty or forty feet; or iff a?sea struck the ill fated vessel, she was covered and hidden mast high with the lashed tip spray of the deep sea. She came onwards slowly, and steadily, but for the dashing force of the waves. The captain run almost upon a rock on hts star board bo?v—-it was bravely am! well done men began to breathe more freely. It was low water, and if he should touch there still another rock lie dreadfully near upon which he must be dashed. Down she went, and siruck—lie’s lost—no, a friendly sea again sends him onward, and striking and rising, like a leaping horse, slie is at last thrown up upon the break, hard and fast, twisting and writhing and groaning, with the mad waves dashing high over her, and the wind howling and whistling thrnngh her useless rrgzing. The flood tide began to make---the wind strengthened— the surges grew more and more furious ; and those on shore, made ac tive preparations for the safe landing of the crew. The schooner's coats had been wash er! awat'. There was no boat on that beach (Simond’s Farm Beach) that could li;e a moment in that surf. Away went all hands to another beach at some distance, where a whale boat was taken aud carried > p to the place needed. But even to attempt to go out in a whale boat was deemed ton dangerous without a leading line from the schooner. Signals were made, and a pla; k was seat adrift, with a line made fast toil; but the line snapped, in tbe surge, as if it had been a cobweb— another was sent out and made fast to n bucket, but neither buck et or rope reached the shore. The mari nerswere now clinging to the shrouds; and both parties became assured that all that could be done for the rescue must be done by those on shore—the crew of the schoon er was helpless. During this del iy—-and let any one who can imagine the anxiety of those poor wretch es, with death boiliug, plunging, and yaw ning around them, and ever rising up ta cover and seize tlem- -during this delay, many planks were dashed from the deck, in spite of tlieir Lshings, aod came riding upon the seas to the shore dashing against each other and upon the beach with such fury as to spfft and baeak tbe#* abort oft, as they could be cut by an axe. Some actual ly rude uptigLi iu ibt waieis, and were shivered to oiu> as they Sliuik. C«p(. Huggins soon louim anew fer the whale boa, -and the Lardy seamen were ieady, and ahjong the in no,.e was more ea gef than a weather beaten one tugged, but o6f old, tar ; who threw away tits wooden timber iinu shipped into the ouat wuh the alacrity oi a cmld to us | asim.e. 'J i, K boat was launched into the surl, with 4 jj on board determined to reach the schooner,' with a line from the stern io be held on to as a means 6f saiety, by those on shore The seamen strained every sinew, a high surge came yawning over the boat, as if open ing its jaws to engulj h her; but she Eluded the danger, 3"d rose almost |>erpendicular over its crest of foam, while every one on shore rose involuntarily on tip-toe, bv that singular sympathy which prompts us io ff in lecliug, but without thought. Now the riurine adventurers were hidden in the trough ol’the sea—again they rose over a higher sea ti au before. But they toiled in vain. The stern line, though fully paid oat had drifted far to leeward, and was entang led with thcjdrif't planks from the schooner. The signal was given to haul in, and the boat came back to the shore. There was disappointment, but not dismay The boat was again put iu position, and tho error of the first attempt was rectified, by coiling the line in the stern of the boas, to be paid out from thence. But the tide came in more furiously upon the flood, and i o' ouc v.as so anxious to try the experiment again. Capt. Higgins waited for volunteers.’ The question • who is going? ’ met with no ready response. AH waiter). At last, Capt Tower, an elderly retired shipmaster, spoke again, “who is going ?” No answer. “Then’ if uo one else will go, 1 will;” and off he threw his coat and jacket and jiithped into’ the boat. This stirred the prid” of the young men, who immediately rushed into' the boat, for more than were wanted—and the old captain was turned out. The one legged sailor again ihrew off' his wooden supporter and maintained his place at the' oar. AM being ready, the boat was once launch ed, and at ihe word all hands pulled stoutly; and bping unincumbered by the stern line,' after a persevering struggle, they reached the anxious mariners on hdard. On the first return they brought away one man and a boy, and'a line to aid them in going back for tiie rest, who came off safely the next time—in all there were five, wet, worn out, cxatistFd creatures. The schooner was the Groton, Yates, of Waldoboro’, Me. She had made a harbor at Cape Ann during the storm, but drifted out about midnight, and was thus driven into peril in the morning. She now lies, supposed to be bilged, on the beach. Having seen all hands safe, and well cared*, for, I can look hack witli a deep feeling of satisfaction, that 1 have been enabled to witness the sublime yet dreadful scene ; and to experience the wildness of emotion* attendant upon a shipwreck—sympathy, curiosity, fefrror, hope, fear, strong desire to aid, and a sense of entire impotence, are mingled in my recollections of four hours, so that it were frditl* ad to attempt to analyze them. 1 shall not attempt it, but will leave this detail of occurrence, with only the remark, that 1 have seen to-day evidence of active hum.inilf, which make me feel a c warmer attachment to mankind.
