The Georgia Rail Road has already greatly obviated those disadvantages ; the facility with which we are conveyed by that establish ment is truly gratifying lo every person travelling that line, the orderly and steady habits of the en gineers seem to guarantee the safely of the train, and lo allay the apprehensions of even the mo.-t timid; whilst the politeness and atlon'ion of the conductor are such, as to make every passenger feci comfortable and at home. g But with all these advantages on the Georgia I -Tail Road, passengers have ample cause to com plain, and ilo complain. It is true that the source of their complaint is a cause of merriment to the Tavern-keeper—it is great sport to him to hurry his guests when the train-bell rings and lo sco them exit with half a meal, instead of a whole one ; but it is not an occasion to induce so merry a mood (as Boniface exhibits) in him who, hav ing paid fifty cents for his breakfast oi dinner, is compelled lo retire without value teceivcd.

Office of the Wilmington Advertiser ) Juno 18, IS3B. \ HEART-RENDING CATASTROPHE ! LOSS OF STEAM PACKET PULASKI. Ihth u Cvcw of 37, at id 159 or 160 I J usseugei's. On Thursday the 14th inst- the steamer Pulas ki, Capt. Dubois, lelt Charleston for Baltimore with about 150 passengers, of whom about 50 were ladies. At about II o’clock on the same night, while oil tlio North Carolina coast, say 00 miles from land, weather moderate and night dark—the star board boiler exploded and the vessel was lost, • with all the passengers and crew, except those whose names are enumerated among the saved in the list to be found below. We have gathered the following facts from the Ist. mate, Mr. Hibberd, who had charge of the boat at the time. Mr. Hibbcffi stales that at 10 0 clock at night, ho was called to the command 01 the boat, and that ho was pacing the promcn - adc deck, in front of the Steerage house. That ho found himself shortly after upon the main deck, lying between the mast and side of the boat. That upon the return of consciousness, be had a confused idea of having heard an explosion something like that of gunpowder, immediately before he discovered himself in his then situation. Ho was induced, therefore, to rise and walk aft where ho discovered that the boat amidships was blown entirely to pieces; that the head of the starboard boiler was blown out, and the top torn open—that the timbers and plank on the star, board side were forced assunder, and that the boat took in water whenever she rolled in that direction. He became immediately aware of the horrors of their situation, and the danger ol letting the passengers know that the boat was sinking, before lowering the small boats. Upon dropping the boat, ho was asked his object, and he leplied that it was to pass around the Steamer to nsrertain her condi tion. Before doing this, however, ho look in a ' couple of men. Ha onleroiUJ* p, ucbo c J via! -i.vo J.yj but they leaked so much in consequence of their long exposure to the sun, that one of them sunk alter a fruitless attempt, to hail her. He had in the interim taken several from the water until the number made ten. In the other boat afloat there were eleven. While they wore making a fruitless attempt to ball the small boat the Pulaski went down with a dreadful crash—in about 44 minutes after the explosion. Both boats now insisted upon Mr. Hibberd’s directing their course to the shore but ho resisted their re monstrances; replying that ho would not aban don the spot until day light. At about 8 o’clock in the morning, they started in the midst of the wailings of the hopeless beings, who were float ing around in every direction, upon pieces of the wreck, to seek land which was about thirty miles distant. Alter puffing about 13 hours, the per sons in both boa s became tired and insisted that Mr. Hibberd should laud; this he opposed, thin king it safest to proceed along the coast and to enter some one ol its numerous inlets, but he was at length forced to yield to the general desire, und to attempt u landing upon the beach, a liltle east of Slump Inlet. Ho ad vised Mr. (deeper, of (la. who had command of the other boat, and a cm plo of ladies, with two children under his charge, to wait until his boat had first landed, as ho up. prohended much danger in the attempt, and should they succeed, they might assist him and the ladies, and children. Theic vve.-e eleven persons in the mate’s boat, (having taken two black women from Mr. Coop er’s.) Os the. u, two passenger,*, one of the crew, and tire two negro women drowned, and six gain ed the shore. After wailing for a signal, which bo received from the mate, Mr. Cooper and his companions landed in about three hours after the 11. it boat, in safely. They then proceeded a short d: c.aiica across Chump Bound, to Mr. Redd’s, of Onslow county, where they remained from Fti day evening until Sunday morning, and then started for Wilmington. Tne mate and two passengers reached hero this morning, (18th,) about 9 o’clock. Thus have we hurriedly sketched the most painful catastrophe that has ever occurred upon the American coast. Youth, ago, and infancy have l.oto boon cut elfin a single night, and found a common death under the same billow. “ Days, months, years and ages will circle away, Amt still the vast waters will over than roll.” We have never seen a deeper sensation per. vadc our community than the reception of this in telligence has produced. Tho profoundcst sym pathy is engraved on every countenance, and all wear the aspect of those sorrowing for their own dead. Wo feel assured that all fool an anxious solicitude to alleviate the distress of those unfor tunate survivors who may come among us, and vehicles have already been sent out to bring them into our town, and provision made for their re ception.

To-day the House resumed the consideration of the Report of the Committee on Foreign As. fairs, for the discharge ol that Committee front the further consideration of the memorials for the e annexation of Texas; with the motions of Mr * Cushing, Mr. Thompson, and Mr, Adams, (each -of which I noticed particularly in yesterday’s " letter.) ! Mr. Adams, who was entitled to the floor, addressed the House at considerable length on the general questions involved. He began with ! some allusions to the reply of Mr. Dhomooolk, ’ of Virginia, to his question as to whether the 1 Committee had given any consideration to the I petitions, memorials, and resolutions on the an * nexation of Texas, which had been referred to them. Mr. Dhomgoole replied, that he would not 1 consent to he catechised as to the proceedings of the Committee. Mr. Adams commented on the evasion, as ho termed it ; and in consequence of his remarks, 1 Mr. Legahe, a member of the Committee, rose, and volunteered the statement, that ho had not 1 looked into one ol the papers referred to. ! Mr. Adams asked if ho was right in under -1 standing the gentleman to say that he had nol looked into one of the papers! Mr. Lkgaue replied, “not one.” Mr. Adams then quoted thej 70th rule of the 1 House, which prescribes, qmong tbc duties of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, that it shall ex amine and report on ihc papers referred to them. Mr. A. proceeded to comment with some severity on what he called the failure to do dns duly, im plied by Mr Leg auk’s answer. Mr. Leg aims said tbc gentleman must not sup pose that ho had nut fully considered the matters Mr. Adams then called up all his powers of raillery and sarcasm, for the purpose of casting ridicule on the idea he attributed to Mr. Lkgaue, of considering the papers referred to the Commit tee, without having read one of them. The Ex-President, from that point, went into the subject of the right of petition, which he said was not enjoyed, unless the petitions were impar tially considered and fully reported upon. Ho declared that to receive a petition, and yet not consider it, was a distinction unworthy of a man in private life, and much more unworthy of a grave deliberative body. No wooden nutmeg system of a Y&nkec was more to bo" reprobated. It was indeed the wooden nutmeg system of the House, to treat the petitions of the people, and the resolutions of slate legislatures in that manner. ’ He was proceeding in this way, when the Speaker interrupted him by anouncing the termi nation of the morning hour, and calling the orders of the day. The House went into Committee of the Whole, and after some time spent therein, re ported the following bills from the '100010; A act authorising the appointment of persons to test the usefulness of inventions to improve and render safo the boilers of steam engines 1 against explosions. A bill to authorise the President of the Uni ed 1 States to have the invention of Samuel Raub 1 applied to steam engines in the use of the United Stales. ’ In the Senate, to-day, Mr. Buchanan prc-cn ’ i (cd a memorial from citizens of Philadelphia city, ’ I and county praying the immediate passage of the ’ 1 Sub-Treasury Bill. The occurrence ol a paper 1 j of this kind, now and then is quite a God send to ’ the Subservallves ! On motion of Mr. Roane, the Secretary of the I Navy was directed to communicate tolh j Senate the proceedings of a Court Martial held at GO.l - port, on the case of Captain William H.uisai ol j the Navy. The Bill to establish an additional Land Office in Louisiana, and the Bill to incorj vy Yard Beneficial Society of the City of Vv’a.ih ' ington, were read a third lime and passed. 1 ’fire Bill to create the office of Surveyor Gen eral of the public lands in Michigan was taken up, and alter some discus-don was laid on tiro ta ble. The Senate then proceeded to the consiilcra lion of private bills ; and were engaged with bu 1 si ness of that character during the remainder ol ' the silting. ' The Sub Treasury Bill will he called up by 1 Mr. Cam dueling, on Tuesday next. The op -1 ponents of (ho measure have no disposition to s debate it: but the friends of the Administration " are anxious to do so ; and lire determination ol J 1 our friends is to give them speech for speech. A 1 I proposition will be made to strike out tiro first ’ I section of the bill : and the debate will probably I continue for a week or ten days. The Bill wil; c 1 be rejected. M. J From the N. Y.

On the departure of Relief, it was deemed important by those more in advance to fall hack upon the rear division under Marctz, n which they accordingly did, but still they were f. far too widely scattered, as well as too confi n ding in the good tailli and professions of friend -0 ship of the natives of the country. It scorns r. that a few days after Reliefs departure h tho Zoolas suddenly made a night attack s upon the encampment. Those in front were soon aroused, Hew to their arms, r > and commenced firing, which speedily al- i 1 armed those in the rear; hut still tho as -1 sailants were not repulsed until 115 ot the ’ emigrants, comprising n:cn, women and chil -1 dren, had fallen by tho murderous spear and knife of the barbarians. Many ot the assuil mils fell, however, in this rencounter; and they were pursued so hotly the next day by t Martcz that the sheep which had been taken I in the firs', instance were recovered, ami a considerable number ot the Zoola force slain, The emigrants subsequently received infornm . tion from tlie natal seniors that Relief and all his party had been cut off by order of Dingaan. t It is also stated that the farmers were collec ting their forces—that Martcz had already commenced active operations against lire cue. >t my—and that but one feeling pervaded the whole of the emigrants, viz: a burning desire to avenge the savage slaughter of their ill-fa -0 ted countrymen. c Moroka, chief of the Borolongs, inhabiting • the country North of the Orange River, had . issued a proclamation in the Dutch, English ' and Sichuatm languages, prohibiting the traf fic in ardent, spirits throughout Ins domin ions.

To clasp her t person in that manner was a pleasure which , lie contemplated with such a transport, as is • known only to real lovers; for none others . know how respect heightens the joy of dis : pensing with formality, and how dispensing , with formality enables and makes grateful the I cspect. Thu lady stood by tho side of her father, 1 pale, desirous and dreading. She thought , tier lover would succeed, but only because she thought her lover in every respect the noblest t of Ins sex, and that nothing was too much fur , his strength and valor. Great fears came . over her nevertheless. She knew not wind { might happen in the chances common to all. She fell the bitterness ol being hcrsclflhe bur . den.to him and the task, and dared neither to I look ut her hither nor tho mountain. She . fixed her eyes now on the crowd, (which nev B erllieles she saw not,) and now on her lingers’ Q ends, which she doubled up towards her with . a pretty pretence,—the only deception she had ever usud. Once or twice a daughter or t a mother slipped out of the crowd, and com- J ing up to her, notwithstanding their fear of i the lord baron, kissed,that hand which she , knew not whut to do with. The father said, “Now, sir, to put an ord Tho, H ))£9Ui.Uv&/td d 1 <yi „U> >;po, the ...manner as if encouraging his inislrcss. They mount the hill; they proceed well; he halts an in stant before he,gets midway, and seems refu. sing something; then ascends at a quicker rale; and now being at the midway point, shills the lady from one side to Die oilier. The spectators gave a great shout. The baron, with an air ot indifference, biles the tip of ins gauntlet, and then casts on them an eye of rebuke. At the shout tho lover re sumes liis way. fSlow, but not feeble in bis step, yet it gets slower. Ho slops again, »ud they think they see the lady kiss him on the orehead. The women begin to ticrnblo, but the men say lie will bo victorious, lie re sumes again; lie is halfway between the mid lo and the lop; Jio rushes, lie stops, lie stag ers; but lie dues not full. Another shout from the men, and ho rc sumes once more, two thirds of tho n main* mg part ol the way arc conquered. They are certain the lady kisses him on the forehead and on the eyes. The women burst into tears, and tlie stoutest men look pale. Ho ascends dower than ever, but seeming to be more sure. He bulls, but it is only to plant his loot to go on again; and thus be picks Ilia way, planting bis foot at every step, and then gaining ground with an effort. The lady fill up her arm :, as if to lighten them. Ueo —he is almost ot the lop, he slops, he struggles, he moves sideways, taking very little steps, mid bringing one loot every time close to the other. Now—lie is all but on the lop; ho halls G id; ho era. A groan i the multiti .

The baron put spurs lo bis horse, the crowd following him. Half way lie is obliged to dismount; they ascend the rest of the lull to- i getber, Iho ciowd s.lent and happy, the baron j ready lo burst with shame and impatience. They reach the top. The lovers are lace to face on the ground, the lady clasping him with both arms, Ins lying on cadi side. “Traitor!” exclaimed the baron, “thou hast practised this feat before uii purpose lu de ceive me. Arise!” “You cannot expect it, sir,” said a worthy man, who was rich enough to speak his mind: “.Samson himself might lake his rest after such a deed.” “Part them!” sa d the baron. Hcverul persons went up, not lo part them, ’ but lo congratulate and keep them together. ; The people look close; they kneel down; they ’ bond atl ear; they bury their faces Upon thorn; | “God forbid they should ever be parted more,” t said a venerable man; “they can never be.” ‘ He turned bis old face, streaming with tears, r and looked up at the baron;—“£ir, they arc J dead.” i jl/JOLASSIvS.— 40 Mills fine New Orleans Mo ; XT J liiw.es, on consignment, hv r j Juno ’-ill JOHN M- COOPER & S J.\. i-xvccliEy.J—Vo!.
