Signals were made which were shortly ? answered from the outer light ship. , ^Shortly afterwards, a very heavy squall came \ on, and the Nacody, finding his vessel drifting I o "mltfialldw water, let go his anchors. In the ' {j tnidifle of the night, the ship laboring ami roll- ^ iog very mucb, lost her rudder, soon after this, (j .the cable parted, and site drove on the Island i n of Kenery. Daylight found the bottom of the i n ship gone, and the remains of the wreck driven | s along side the fort wall; the boats broken or | washed away. Many of the passengers step- j ped from the vessel on the walls, but numbers were cast into the sea and drowned. Nearly p one hundred and seventy five are missing. This p is another instance of the awful sacrifice of life ^ oceernng from a vessel being lost from the ^ want of sails, anchors &c., and the absence of effiefant officers to manage her. The sails ot the Alii t Rohoman were blown away, and there were^no others to replace them, and she appears to have been sadly deficient in anchors. ! ^ Fugitive Slave Given Up.?A fugitive slave ; was arrested last week near Columbia, Pa. and ! t carried-to Harrisburg, and after a hearing be- ' fore Commissioner Mc A lister, was remanded ' ( to'his owner.

I ? , The Weather. Showers have been of almost daily occurrence: ' or several weeks piw?t, and have been of great' | le'rvice to the.crops.

( Our semiweekly paper had just been issued op Fuceday last, when the alarm of fire was given, j vhicfcfproved to be the cotton house ofCr J. Shan- t ion, Esq^J containing upwards of two hundred { irtd fifty bales of cotton, of which about twenty >nly, were saved. The cotton was mostly owned ? ly Col. L. J. Patterson of this District, and as we I inderstand not insured. The loss is estimated, i iver seven thousand dollars. The building was evidently set on fire, and it is ' ligh time that our citizens should be on the look tut for villains. A Committee of Vigilance ought J o be formed, whose especial business (as well as hat of all good citizens) should be to exercise a , trict-scrutiny into the character of suspicious j lersops. ? ( Palmetto Regiment. As previously announced, a meeting of the sur. won of this gallant Regiment was held in Co- | umbia on the 20th inst., in commemoration of the ] tattle of Churubusco, and to make suitable ar- i angements to erect a monument to the lamented 1 ?ol. Pierce M. Butler. We understand by a 1 nember of this Regiment in attendance, that the | neeting was a large one, and every thing went ' iff well. Committees were appointed for the se- ( reral Districts throughout the State to solicit sub- ' icriptions to build a monument to the memories ' )f all our gallant men who fell in Mexico. It will | vill be recollected that out of a large number of , >ravc men who left their homes and firesides to j ight the battles of their country, but few wepe ] spared to see their homes and friends?^but few vere left to tell their tale of woe.

Now is the time, if ever, for the co-op-1 nation party to define their position, and erect lome boundary to their patience?to say how nuch more they will be imposed upon before j 'forbearance ceases to be a virtue," and what 1 hey propose doing when (hey are assured co-op- ( iration cannot be obtained.

Twiggs, some weeks before the Pampero sailed, notified the Collector that an expedition was on foot, bat the Collector replied that it must be a mistake. Alter the Pampero had sailed,, he wrote to Geo. Fwiggsand protested his ignorance of.the expedition. Gen. Twiggs, as commander of .the southern military district^ was onder jnstrup-; tions to keep an eye over the Fillibusteroe.TBut if the Government officers and the most popular and'influential presses and < politicise in New Organs are Fillibusteros, it" is quite idle to make.any opposition to their projects. \l ne Uoited States Marshall for the District of New Orleaos is here; and the District Attorney, Mr. Hunton was recently here. General Campbell, late Consul at Havana is also hem; ind thus the government, i. e. the small part of t now at the sest of government, must be well idvised as to the state and prospect of Cohan i flairs.
