North Carolina Election.
We find the following telegraphic dispatch in
the Nashville Union & American :
Louisville, August 4.—The democrats gen
erally gain in North Carolina. It is believed
they' have elected a majority of Congressmen.
A Fine Present.
On Saturday last, we were presented by Mr. 1
J. F. Leonard, of this city, with a bottle of gen
uine old brandy—pure and unadulterated, and
superior in quality to any thing of the kind we
have seen or tasted in years. For medicinal
purposes, it is invaluable ; and for the trade it
cannot be excelled any where in the State. We
learn that Mr. Leonard lias a quantity of thia
fine article for sale, and to druggists, hotels,
and the trade generally, he will dispose of it upon
reasonable terms. Let judges try it, and our
word for it, they will pronounce it, good!
“Read and Circulate."
At the request of an intelligent gentleman
and friend in this city, who oliserves with a
watchful eye, the progress of proscription in
the North, we publish an article taken from the
Raleigh. North Carolina, Standard, headed as
above. In the main, the article contains the
opinions of such men as Nathaniel Macon—
whose name is still venerated by every patriot—
Alfred Dockery, Judge Gaston, and would you
believe it, reader, Kenneth Rayner then an apos
tle of civil and religious liberty; >tw, a perse
cutor of Catholics and Foreigners 1 Bead the
document, people of Georgia. Hear what Ken
neth. Rayner did say, when in the Convention
that was held in Raleigh to alter the Constitu
tion of hie State, and compare it with what the
miserable traitor is now advocating I Read it,
too, that you may know what were the opinions
of good, old NATHANIEL MACON, than
whom a purer Republican, and better man, nev
er breathed.
John L. Stephens, Esq,
This gentleman addressed a large number of our
citizens on Friday night last. In his speech he an
nounced that lie was a candidate for Judge of this
circuit, and, as such, occupied the novel position
of being the first candidate for judiciary honors;
that had ever appeared before the people to ad
dress them on political issues, and as being the
first man in Georgia, that had ever, over his
own signature, in a newspaper, denounced Know
Nothingism. With regard to his appearance
before the people, he stated that he was actu
ated by the important motive of letting the
people know where he stood in the great battle
now being fought between the “Secret Order'
and the advocates of civil and religions liberty •
and of urging upon them an enquiry into the
position of all men, whether thoy lx? candidates
for political, or judicial stations. Ho also re
viewed the principles of the “American Party”-
—declared his determination to vote for John
son and Wamer ; and was ready to support, if
the Anti-Know Nothings of the circuit would
meet in Convention, and nominate a candidate
for Judge, any Anti-Know Nothingwhomthey
might nominate. Until then he was a candi
date, and. as such, would proceed to cauvass the
circuit, until the day of election. This was his
first speech, but the pneplc of the circuit should ■
hear from him in the several counties comparing
it.
From the Raleigh Standard.
READ AND CIRCULATE!
The opinions of Judge Gaston,
Rev. Josiah Crudup, Nathaniel
Macon, Alfred Dockery, and
Kenneth Rayner on the subject
of Religious Liberty.
We invite the attention of tho people to the
following opinions on the subject of religious
liberty, extracted from the Debates of the
Convention of 1835. We commence with
those of William Gaston, a Catholic, and one
of the purest and ablest men which this or any
other State over produced. Among other
things, Judge Gaston said:
"But it has been objected Unit the Chat hoi ic
religion is unfavorable to freedom—nay, even
incompatible with Republican institutions.—
Ingenious speculations on such matters are
worth little, and prove still Ires. Let me ask
who obtained tne great charter of English
• freedom. but tho Catholic prelates and barons
nt Kunnymcdo ? The oldest, the purest d<“
mocracy on earth, is the little Catholic Repub
lic of St. Marino, not a day's journey from
Romo. It has existed now for fourteen hundred
years, and is so jealous of arbitrary power, flat
the executive authority is divided’befcveea two
governor?. who are elected every three months.
Was William Tell, the founder of Swiss liber
ty, a rovalist? Are tho Catholics of Swiss
Cantons tn love with tyranny'! Are the Irish
Catholics friend- to obedience and nou-resist
tince? Was Lafayette, Pulaski, or Kosciusko, I
a fix-to civil freedom ? Was Charles Carroll, I
of Carrollton, unwilling to jeopard fortune in i
tho cause of liberty 1 Let me give you. howev- ‘
er. the testimony of George Whashiiigton. On
his accession to the Presidency, he was ad- j
dressed by the American Catholics, who ad- I
verting to tho restrictions on their worship,
■then existing in some of the States, express (
themselves thus: ‘The prospect of national;
prosperity is peculiarly pleasing to us on anoth
er account: because, while our country pre
serves her freedom and independence, we shall
have well-founded title to ciaim from her jus
tice equal rights of citizvnsliip. as the price of
our blood spilt under your eye. and of our com
mon exertions for her defence under your au
spicious conduct. ’ This great man, who was
utterly incapable of flattery and deceit, utters
in answer tiie following sentiments, which 1
give in his own \vords: ‘As mankind become
more liberal, they will be more apt to a .
that all those who conduct themselves s j
thv members of the community, are c
titled to the protection of civil gov®
ihoptrwwseeAnwhamonj-U v..
nations in examples of justice and liberality : I
and I presume that your fellow-citizens will not
forget the patriotic part which you the
accomplislunent of their Revolution iw.i the
establishment of their government, or im
portant assistance which they received Lorn a
nation in which the Roman Catholic ftath is
professed.” By tht- bye sir, I would juiasa a
moment to cull the attention of this committe
to some of the names sutabscribed to this Ad
dress. Among them are those of Julni Oar
roll, the first Roman Catholic Bishop in the
United States. Charlra Carroll, of Carrollton,
and Thomas Fitzsimmons. For the character
of these distinguished mtn. il they need vouch
ers, I would confidently cal) on’the venerable;
President of this Convention. Bishop Carroll;
was one of the best of men, and mwt devout of j
Christians. I shall never forget a t ribute to his |
memory paid by the good and venerable Pro-1
testant Bishop White, contrasting the piety ‘
with which the Christian Carroll met death.;
with the cold trifling that characterized the last I
moments of the skeptical David Hume. I I
knew not whether the tribute was more honor-1
able to die piety of the dead, or to the charity i
of the living prelate. Charles Carroll, of Car-;
rollton, the last survivor of the Signers of Amer-1
icau Independence—at whose death both Hous-i
es of the Legislature of North Carolina unan-(
imously testified their grief, as at a national be- i
reavement! Thomas Fitzsommons. one of the •
illustrious Convention that framed the Consti-1
tution of the United States, and for several i
years the Representative in Congretß of the city !
of Philadelphia. Were these, and such im these
foes to freedom and unfit for Republicans?—
Would it be dangerous to permit such men to
be sheriffs or constables in the land ? Rend the
funeral eulogium of Charles# Carroll, delivered
at Rome by Bishop England—one of the great
est ornaments of the American Catliolic Church
—a foreigner indeed by birth, but an American
by adoption, and who, on becoming an Ameri
can, solemnly abjured all allegiance to every
foreign king, prince and potentate whatever—
that eulogium which was so much carped at by
English royalists and English tories—and I
think you will find it democratic enough to suit
the taste and find an echo in the heart of the
sternest republican amongst us. Catholics are (
of all countries—of all governments—of all pi-1
litical creeds. In all. they are. taught that the i
Kingdom of Christ is not of this world, aud
that it is their duty to render unto Ctesar the
things that are Caesar’s, and unto God the
things that are God’s.”
Referring to the charge that catholics owe
temporal allegiance to the Pope of Rome Judge
Gaston said:
“It. has been asked, whether the allegiance of
catholics to the people be spiritual, only, and
true learned gentleman from Halifax has unques
tionably shown that they do not owe him civil
allegiance. Sir, I object in toto to the term al
legiance as characterizing the connection be
tween the catholic and chief Bishop of his church.
I owe no allegianoe to any man or set of men
on earth, save only to the State of North Caro
lina, and so far as she has parted with her sov
ereignty, to the United States of America.—
The charge tliat catholics owe allegiance to tho
Pope, is wholly false.
See Debates of the Convention, page
293.
We give ne< the speech of the Rev. Josiah
Crudup, of Granville county—a distinguished
minister of the Baptist Church :
“ Mr. Crudup said, as he should bo called up
on to vote on this question before the Commit
tee, ho thought it necessary to give some of tlte
reasons which would govern his vote. No man
could hold the rights of conscience more sacred
than ho did. He t bolieved tlx? Article in ques
tion had been considered as a perfect nutility,
aud had, therefore, done no real injury to any
one. Liberty of conscience has on all hands
been considered us an unalienable right. No
government can interfere between man and his
Maker. Mr. C. said ho made a distinction be
tween partial and complete toleration, and took
a pretty general view of the state of religion
in different countries. All the institutions of
this country, he said, acknowledged the truth
of the Christian religion; and who impedes its
progress is considered as impeding tl>e happiness
of man.
Mr. 0. staid though he came to thOjConven
tion with an intention of voting for an amend
ment of this Article, hie intention had lxx.n
somewhat staggered by the arguments used in
favor of the measure. Nor did he think the
true merits of the question had yet 1-xwu touch
ed.
It had been remarked by the gentleman from ;
Orange, that the Convention must Ire careful
how it approaches the Article in question; that
the passions of the wople are excited, and that
tho ratification of t.ne Constitution would be
hazarded by meddling with it. Mr. C. enter
tained a high respect for public opinion, but he
should think that it would be generally admit-1
ted that no profesaing believer of Christianity
ought to be excluded from office—further than
this, ho was unwilling to go.
With the gentleman from Halifax, (Mr.
Daniel.) he believed the Pope of Home possess
ed no temporal power, except over a small pro
vince in Italy. He had therefore no fear of
his temporal power encroaching on this coun
try. Indeed the despots of Europe would at all
time keep him in check.
Mr. Ci did not believe that Popery was
changed. He believed it would continue an
unit, and be tho saute. He knew that it had
been an opinion long urged against the Catho
lics of this country, that they held principle?
inimical to free government: but nothing of
this kind had ever been substantiated against
them, and facts were the best evidence in their
favor. Mr. C. then adverted to the persecutions
which the Catholics had undergone tn different
ports of Europe, and eejiecially in Ireland.
The spirit of tho age, said Mr. C., calls
aloud for mor® liberal opinions on the subject
of religious liberty. He had hoped that the
time had passed fur entertaining any fears
for I’o]fery in this country. The Bible Socie
ties of England aud America had done much
in enlightening and liberating the public mind
on the subject of religion in id! parts of the
world.
The only proper mode of meeting the ef
forts which aro said to lx- now making by
the Catholics in the Valley of the Mississippi
and elsewhere, to spread their doctrines, is for
the Protestants of all sects to become more unit
ed amongst themselves. By doiug away all
petty divisions and strifee. and exerting all their
moral influence in supiiori of the gMit doc
trines of ’lie Reformation, the? would then
have nothing to fear on the scon of their re
ligion.
Mr. C. concluded with expressing bis belief
that great prejudice and excitement exisfexi on
this subject, which it would require some time
to allay.”
See Debates of Convention, page 245. !
On the same occasion, the wise and vcrreralife i
Nathnuiol Macon raised his voice in favor of
religious freedom. Hear him. ami pondiwwhat,
ho says;
"Mr. Macon said he took the bnnd ground I
that tn.V' alone was respontiino to his Creator;
for hi- religious faith, aud that no human power;
had auv right to interpose tn the matter, or to ■
prtvwrib? any particular opinions a® ate-t of
titnres for office. If a Hindoo -.■ re t come
among as, and was fully qualified to discharge'
the duties of any office to which he might as
pire, his religious belief would not constitute an;
objection, in his opinion, why he should lie de- j
burred. Who made man a judge, that he should j
presume to iuterti-re in die sacred rights of con
science '? He had always thought that e mix
ture of politics aud religion wai the very ewence
ot' hypocracy.
ilr. M- said some gentlemen had exq-Tiwed
tho opinion that th;? Article, as it now stood,
could do no harm. Who can tell to what the
spirit of proscription, on which it is baerf. may
lead. A spark may fire the world. Event’s 1
push each other Mong, aud one passion but
serves to enkindle another. So tar’os he was
individually concerned, it mattered not what
provisions were incorporated in tiie Constitu
tion. His time had most cm-?. But this Ar
; tide was the only feature in the old Constitu
tion which he had ever heard objected to out of
■‘•e; and the objection was always coup-
• ■> expression of surprise that 'it could
■othold in a State where the princi
y were so well understood. There
. a when a man, if a tpue patriot, miat
stake himself for die good of his country. The ;
present was a crisis of that kind.
When our country was in distress, said Mr.
M.. in our Revolutionary struggle, we applied
to Catholics for assistance, and it was gener
ously extetidixi. Without foreign assistance,
we never should have achieved our independence.
Mr. M. said a part of the article referred to
Atheists. He did not believe there ever was
un Atheist, whatever hw nation or color. It
was impossible for any man to look at himself,
at the water, at the animal and vegetable king
dom. at the sun, moon or stars, without ae- ■
kuowledging the existence of a great first ’
CAt'SE.
What gave rise to the first settlement in j
North Carolina? 'lhe persecution.-: in New l
England and Virginia. New England, to use
the language of u great man, was settled by
the Puritans of die Puritans—Virginia was
settled by Episcopalians. These two States
never had any intercausc until the Revolution.
Tills goodly land, we inhabit, was discovered
by Catholics. .Should not this fact occur to
us when we talk about disfranchising them'.
To him it appeared too plain a question to
argue, that every man may worship God ac
cording to the dictates of bis own conscience.—
But it is a practical denial of its truth to debar
a man from office, because he may entertain
eertiJn ■ religious opinions. There was one |
member of this Convention whose father had
been inhumanly murdered by die Tories in our
Revolution struggle—lie begged pardon for the
allusion, but it was history—and shall it be
said, that his son baptised, as it were, in the
blood of his father, is unworthy a seat in the |
Legislature of our country? No, sir, no gen
tleman would say this. The Christian Reli
gion was founded on good will and peace to
man. Examine the Redeemer’s sermon on the
Mount—is there any persecution there? And
who made us greater than Hz, that we should
proscribe our brethren for opinion’s sake. You
might as well attempt to bind the air we breathe,
as a man’s conscience—it is free—liberty of
thought is his unalienable birth-right. ’ He.
never heard this great out-cry against Religious
freedom, but what he was forcibly reminded of
the Pharisee and Publican. He was too tired
to repeat it; but every body remembered it.
Roger williams of Rhode Island, Mr. M.
said, was the first man to establish toleration in
North America-—he was r. Puritan. Charles
Carroll, of Carrollton, the man who staked
more by signing tho Declaration of Indepen
dence than any other individual, was a Catho
lic. As he stepped up to sign, some person re
marked, “ there goes two millions with the
dash of a pen Another friend remarked,
“ Oh. Carroll, you will get off, there are so
many Charles Carrolls.” He stepped back
and added, “of Carrollton." A man so pure,
that even sectarian bigotry could find nothing
to allege against him. It was not, therefore,
the particular religious notions, which a man
entertained that made him a good ctiizen or a
good man.
Mr. M. said, fears seemed to be entertained
by some gentlemen, that the Roman Catholics
would overrun the country. They might do it,
but he did not think it was half as probable,
as that a mouse would kill a buffalo 1 Let
them come when they will, Mr. M. said, ho
wauld lay a wager that the Protestants con
verted two to the Catholics one. As for him
self, he was inclined to the Baptist Church, and
he did not care who knew it; but he was far
from believing in all their doctrines*. Neither
did be believe it essential, that a man should
attach himself to any particular Church. If
he faithfully discharged all his duties on earth,
and obeyed the precepts of the Gospel, be
would not be asked, when he readied Heaven,
to what acet he belonged.
Mr. M. said, in conclusion, he would not have
troubled the Committee, but he did not wish
any one to believe that he was disposed to shulfi
from responsibility. Ho was not vain enough
to believe that his opinions would have any
weight in that body, but he must bo allowed to
say, that he considered the decision of this
question as involving the future character of
North Carolina.”
See Debates of the Convention, page 246.
On the same occasion, Gen. Alfred Dockery,
the late Whig candidate for Governor, said
that “after the satifactory exposition of the
principles of the Catliolic faith by the gentle
man from Craven, he was willing, individually
to amend the Article, but could not jeopard
their whole labors here by interfering with it.”
(Seo Debates, page 404.) Gen. Dockery was
ready to establish religions freedom, but be
feared the Constitution would be rejected if it
was altered in thia respect; but Mr. Rayner
declared that if there was no other way to en
sure the ratification of the Constitution “ but
by sacrificing the great principle of religious
liberty, then, in the name of all that is sacred,
let it be consigned to an eternal oblivion."
Yes, so anxious was Mr. Rayner that permis
sion should be given Catholics to hold office,
that he declared “it were better that society
should be dissolved into its original
better that the tide of colonial vassalage should
again sweep over this extensive country, from
the seaboard to the mountains, and we should
be left again to grapple for our freedom with
the tyrant’s chain, or the bigots scourge—to
wade to our liberty through ocean’s of tears and
seas of blood, than in this enlightened age, when
the march of mind is onward, we should prove
so recreant to the spirit of liberty, as to light
anew the torch qf persecution, and extinguish
forever tlx? fond liopes of philanthropy and
freedom." [See Debates, page 262.]
Mr. Rayner says now. we understand, that
he has nothing to take back—that he would
make the same speech aud give the same vote
again; and yet he is, this day, engaged in “light
ing anew the torch of persecution”—he is en
deavoring to exclude “from the honors, the
profits and emoluments of the State " a certain
portion of our citizens Iwcause they are Catho
lics ; and such exclusion, according to his own
recorded opinions, which he declares he still
holds, “is the highest persecution which public j
opinion will tolerate in any Christian country;
in this enlightened age.’’ Kenneth llavner, I

aistencesl He says he would not rule the
Catholics out by the Constitution, but would
only vote them out at the polls I Why what a
schoolboy sophistry is that 1 He insists in one
breath that Catholics shall hare Constitutional
rights, and in tho next got*? to the polls and
denies them these rights, and pcrsix-ntes them
because they are Catholics 1 That is a speci
men both of his honesty and his logic.
We make the following extracts from the
speech of Mr. Rayner, already referred to; and
wo ask special attention to thos. port ions which
are in italics:
“Bus it is said, if the Catholic fe excluded
ib m office, that will deprive him of tho right of
worshipping God according to the dictates of I
his own conscience. Sir, the right of worship-1
ping G‘xi, free from all personal pains and pt-!

any country in Christendom. An exclusion from -

is the highed pirsecutton which public e>prnto:i \

It was a favorite saving of’ Napoleon that
there was but one step from the sublime to the
ridiculous: and on the same principle there is

bitter and intolerant persecution.

the exclusion from office foi opinion's sake, in
this enlightened age. proeixxls from the same
spirit of bigotry and siqx'rstitiun which lacs
preyed upon mankind from the building of Ba
bel to the present time ; it is the same spirit
which presented the cup to Socrates, which
confined Galileo in his dungeon, which bound
Craltaic-r to the stake of martyrdom, which
drove the Hugenots from France —nay, more. •
sir, it is the same spirit which led the Saviour
of the world to Calvary’s awful summit.
Sir, what must be situation of the emigrant
who comes to thi« conntry for tlie sake of Reli-j
gious freedom, if the appearance of the good old
North State should induce him to make it his

fathers? What mustjie the feelings of the pi-1
ous mother, when looking on In i- tender infant.:

er this proscription Is in accordance with the {

Does it accord with that meekness and forebear-;

journ among men? Does it ueeord with that
benevolence for the human family, that charity
for othcip, without which, the Apostle says a
practible exercise of ali Christian duties, coup
led with a faith strong enough to remove moun
tains. is “as sounding brass and u tinkling
cymbal.”
“Sir, is this Convention ready to incorporate
into our fundamental law, the doctrine, that
“honesty, capability, and faithfulness to the con-;
stitution," is not a sufficient qualification for
office, but that he who obtains it, must abjure
a certain particular faith? Sir. who constitu
ted us judges of tho hearts aud conscience of
men? Wlmt right have we to impugn the mo
tive; of our fellow-men ? It is assert ing one of;
the attributes of the Deity himself: for it is the
Lord alone that poudereih the heart.—Sir, you
may carry on this system of persecution, put
there Is one point beyond which you cannot go.
You may subject, the body to privation aud
torture, but you cannot tether the mind—fetters
cannot bind it—tyrants cannot enchain it—dun
geons cannot confine it—it will rise superior to 1
the powers of fate, and aspire to him who gave
it.”

The Young Peddler.,
One rainy afternoon, in the earliest part of Au
tumnz I heard a low knock at my back door, and
upon opening it, found a peddler. iVowpeddlera
aro a great vexation to me; they leave the gates
open, they never have anything I want, nd I
don’t like the laces that belong to most of them,;
' especially those of the strong men who go about'
with little packages of coarse goods, and I al-1
ways close the door upon them, saying to myself;
lazy.
This was a little boy, and he was pale and ;
wet, and looked so cold, I forgot he was a pod- I
diet, and asked him to come in by the fire. 11
thought he appeared as though he expected I I
was going to buy something, for he commenced j
opening his tin box, but I had no such intention.
He looked up in my face very earnestly and sad
ly, when I told him to -w arm himself by the fire,
and that I did not wish to purchase .anything.—
He rose slowly from his seat and there was some
thing in his air which reproached me, and I de- ■
tained him to inquire why he v. as out jn the rain ■
He replied.
“I am out every day, and can’t, stay in for a
itlle rain; besides, most peddlers stay at home
then, and I can sell more on rainy days.”
“ ow much do you earn in a day?”
“Sometimes two shillings, sometimes one, and
once in a while I get nothing al! day. and then,
ma'am I am very tired,”
Her® he gave a quick, dry c urb, which start
j led me. j
“How long have you had that c mgh?"
i “1 don’t know, ma'am*
I “Does it hurt you ?”
“Yes, Ma'am.”
'!Where does your mother live?"
“In heaven, ma'am," said he 'lumoved
“Have you a father?”
“Yes, ma'am, ho is with mother.” h<- replied hi
the same tone.
“Have you any brothers or sisters?”
-‘I have a little sister, but she wont to mother '
about a month ago.”
“What ailed her?"
“Bhe wanted to see mother, and so do I, and I
guess that's why I cough so,”
“Where do you live?” :
“With Mrs. Brown, on N*——street."
“Doe* she give you any medicine for your
! cough?”
j “N.'-t doctors’ medicine—she is too poor, but
| she makes something for me to take."
“Will you take something if I give it to
“No. ma’am. I thank y ou; mother took medi
cine. and it didn't help her. though she wanted
to stay, and you see 1 want to go; it would not
stop my cough. Good day, ma’am.”
“Wail a minute,” I said, “1 want to see what
you carry."
He opened his box, and for once I found what j

And so it wanders round.
From ear to lip—from Up to ear
Until it reac eda gentle heart,

The only heart 'twas meant to foi l.
When first its necetits woke;
It reached that tender heart at last.
And that —it broke.

That guileless girl so pure and true !

And thus her happy heart, that beat !
With love and hope, so fast and sweet. !

A Methodist Preacher and Daugh
ter Drowned.
A most delplorahlc accident occurred at Coney.;
Island on Wednesday, which will carry mourn
ing and grief to more than one family. It ap
pears a large party of ladies and gentlemen star
ted from Williamsburg. New York, on Wednes
day morning on a pleasure trip to Coney I*'® lll '
at which place they arrived about noon. 1 hey
stopped at Wycoti's Hotel; below the Oceanic
House, and went from there to the shore, where ;
thev went in bathing. There were other bathers ;
in the water, indeed tho beach was lined with
them. All passed off pleasantly until a cry was
raised, “The undertow !” “the undertow! and ,
on looking towards the ocean the company saw
with dismay five, cf their party drifting out
sea.
Great confusion immediately prevailed, amt ct-1
torts were made to procure a boat, but none could
be found for a mile either way along the beach.
No other resource being left, the doors ot the
bathing houses were torn off and shoved out alter
the persons in the water, and two' ot them were
sav d thereby.
But the most melancholy part of this story
remains to be told. It appears the difficulty orig
inated bv a young lady named Mary Ann Elli
ott getting beyond her depth, and feeling the
undertow talking her out she screamed out, “1
am sinking, save me!” Her father, Kev, John
Elliott, who was in the water, seeing the danger
of his child, swam towards her; but before reach
in.. the spot where she was, he was also taken
with tho current and drifted out to sea and soon
sank. He rose once to the surface and threw
his arms up wildly in the air, then sank again
and was seen no more.
The peril of Miss Elliott was also seen by a
Mr. Thomas Gibbons, the affianced husband of
the lady, who immediately waded and swam to
where she was struggling in the water, and sue
ceceded in holding her up lor some time. Ihe
greatest excitement prevailed at the moment
the tragedy was being enacted, and no one seem
ed able to offer any assistance. Iho couple
were borne out rapidly and thoso on the shore
gave them up for lost, when it was seen that Mr.
Gibbons had secured a piece ot timber, and had
seized it for support, but unfortunately it, was
not large enough to uphold both, and Mr, Gib
bons disengaged himself from Mies Elliott and
told her to grasp the suspenders of bis bathing
dress behind, while he held on the wood. This
she did for a time, but with a true woman s de
votion, seeing that her liner was sinking, and
fearinfs that he would drown, she suppressed
in thatmioment of peril, when the horrors of death
were clustering around her, the selfish instinct
of her, for life, and let go her hold though
he begged her for God’s and her own sake to nev
er mind him but herself. She soon sank and
was seen no mor®. Mr. Gibbons was fortunately
drifted towards a point ot the island where he
found a foothold and was dragged ashore by
means of ropes. ,
Two other persons, a Mr. Henry Boyd, Jr.
and a Miss Eastman, were also caught in the
same current, but fortunately managed to secure
one of the boards floating about and were towed
towards the shore. .Miss Eastman had sank
once or twice, and was so overcome by terror and
her injuries that it is feared she will not recover.
She was taken to the Ocean House, and now lies
there in a dangerous condition. Mr. Boyd esenp
ped unhurt.
