Loss of the Arctic If
Oar Northern mails bring us the particulars f
of this sad calamity. The following ae- (
count is furnished the New York papers by ,
Mr. George H. Burns, the express messen- 't
ger of Adams & Co., who was on board, '
and fortunately escaped the terrible perils
of the disaster;
The steamship Arctic, with 22t> passon- (
gers, exclusive of children, *75 employers, (
a valuable cargo, and heavy mail, is lost? ,
Of the more than four hundred souls who ,
left Liverpool on the 20th ult full of hope, i
gayety and health, mauy returning from j
an Europeun tour of pleasure.only thirty two (
are known to have been saved, and certain,
ly not more than one hundred can, by any
possibility, have escaped a watery grave.
In addition to this, another large steamer,
freighted with hundreds of human beings.
has, in all probability, met a like fate.
The details of the horrible disaster are as
follows:
On Wednesday, September 27, precisely
at 12 o'clock M., in a dense fog, wo came in
contact with a bark.rigged Iron propeller,
with black hull, salmon colored bottom,
lead cob-red poop and boats and black pipe.
She was bound eastward, and I Mid uli sail |
set, with a strong, fair wind. The speed of
i tne Arctic at the time was about thirteen
iknota an hoar. The shock to us appeared
slight, but tho damage to the other vessel
frightful Capt. Luce instantly ordered
the quarter boats cleared away, and the chief
mate, boatswain and three sailors went to
her relief; before other boats left, tne order
was countermanded. The Arctic then described
a eircle twice round tho wreck, during
which tiinc I caught a glimpse of more
than two hundred people clustered on her
hurricane dock.
At this juncture it was first ascertained I
that we had sustained injury, nnd tho water j
was pouring in at our bows W ben the first |
oracer eaine along side to report tho captain |
viw un-Mi< to take Mm up, but headed N.
N. W., in the hope of making land Our
poaition on the previous day, at 12 o'clock,
waa latitude 48 39, longitude 45 27. We
had run about three hundred and ten milea
from the time of this observation until the
moment of collision, and were supposed to
bo foity miles from Cape Rico. The pumps
were vigorously worked, and an anchor
chain thrown overboard; but, in spite of all
exertion, tho engines stopped, and the water
extinguished the fires.
Four of the five other life bonts, believed
lo have been well provisioned .containing tin
engineers, sailors, a few passengers and all
the officers, except the captain and thi'd
mate, left the ship at un early stage. J he
majority of the passengers were working at
the pumps, some firing the signal guns, and
others launching spars, under the direction
of Captain Luce ard, Mr. Dorian, the third
mate, to form a raft.
In order to facilitate this latter work the
sixth and last boat was lowered. Dorian,
one or two Are men, three of tho ether passcngera
saved, and myself, were busily engaged
lashing watercasks and settees to the
main yard, two topgallant yards and several
smaller spars?the captain, with a number
of gentlemen, protecting the work by keep
iog back the crowd, when a panic seized all
on board, a rush was made, passengers and
firemen precipitated themselves headlong
over tho bulwarks on to the raft, and in a
moment our little boat was full and in im
minunt danger of being sunk. In this emergency,
Dorian ordered the rope which held
us to the steamer to be cut, and with our
hands and axes we paddled from the ratYs
aide. The mate, who throughout prei.eved
great presence of mind, and labored with he <
r??ic energy, cried out; "For God's sske,
captain, clear the raft, so that we can work.
? .? . .L- ?fc-t IM -

her above water."
'Jut the sen was now flush with the dead
lights. In less than three minutes t'rnm the
time he spoke the stern sunk?the fount
went boiling over the tumbling heap of human
beings?many were dashed forward
against the pipe. I heard one wild yell
(still ringing in my ears) and saw the Arctic
and the struggling mass rapidly engulph
ed. Numbers yet clung to the imperfectly
i-onstructed raft; but, alas, we could render
mem no aid. Our own situation was no
less precarious; and cruel as it (teemed, we
were forced to abandon them to fute. Heaven
forbid that i should ever witness such
another sceno. We however picked up two
more men, and then, with an overloaded
host, without oars, tholepins, food or drink,
avoiding with difficulty tho fragments of
the wreck, and passing many dead females,
prepared for a night upon the ocean. We
soeured a flouting pumpkin and cabbage to
guard against immediate starvation, lushed a
spar to the bow of our boat to keep her
head to the wind and uea, and thus drifted
until daylight; the night wuscold and foggy
with a heavy swell, sad in a cramped,
drenched, and half nuked condition, we suffered
terribly.
Without dwelling upon our miseries, alleviated
much by the consciousness that we
had endeavored to do our duty to our fellow*
men, suffice it to ssy thst at 6 o'clock on
the afternoon of the 38th we espied u toil,
and raised a handkerchief to attract attention.
Wo were successful. With the rude

ted during the day by lushing plank* to
capstan bars, witli a view of attempting to
gain when the eei aubnidod, we pulled towards
the ship On our way we piutsed the
remnant of the raft, with one man on it apparently
alive.
The bark proved to be the Hnron, of St.
Andrews, N. S., Captain A. Wall, bound for
Quebec. Our men sife on liourd, the
nooie-nearteu iiuruu, with some of the
Huron's crew, returned to Uie raft and rescued
the poor fellow, who for twenty-six
hours had clung to the spars, tie states
I that after the steamship sunk ho counted
seventy-two men and four Wouiuu on the
raft, but at (ty o'clock lie was the ouly one
alive. In the morning iwo bodies were beside
him, much eaten by fishes, aud ut the
time he saw our bust he was on the point
of voluntarily drnppiog into the sea to end
bis sgony. Coming troin t..e rait, uorutii
soeouutered aud examined the life cur of iho
Arctic. It cuntuiued a bottle of wuter,
some cheese and a lady's garoieut
By ths humans captain of the Huron anu
Mr. Wellington Cameron, a sou of the
owner, ws ware received with greet kindness,
our wounds dressed, tires kindled, and
food and clothing provided in ubuudauce.?
UurtBg the night of the Mtli, Capt. Wall
hung out extra lights, tired rockets, and
kept s horn blowing, in hopes of falling in
with the remainder of the boats, hut his 1
endeavors were fruitless. On ths sveuimr 1

Court Week.?The Court of Common
Pleas commenced its session here on .Monday
last, Judge O N kali., presiding. Although
there is not a great deal of business
before the Court, we believe there is euough
to consume the week. There is no case of
any great importance, excepting the State
against Johnson. Our readers will remember
that Johnson was apprehended and lodged
in Jail, on suspicion of being impliested
someway in the murd r of Thurlowi^
Beckham, which occurred a short time since
at the Camp Ground.

on Friday, the 29th December next.

We would cult the attention of the citizens
residing in the neighborhood of New
Salem to the ndverliament of Messrs. Connor*
& Mobley. We learn from one of the

and assorted stock of goods, which we arc
sure they will take pleasure in showing to
their friends, und much greater pleasure in
selling to them.

The Condition of the Conntr *.
Speculations inay bo indulged in, prcdicions
made as to our future prospects, and
lopes buoyed and fluttered with the explication
of "better times," but none of us
in foretell what the future will bring forth.
We doubt very much, if the money in ir
tet h ?s ever been so string-nt, and pro'.sions
so scarce and consequently high
triced, as has been the case for the past
hreo months, and even ut this 'iino. The
milks of the State, have granted no nccom

milks abuse the authority given them by

lotes become due in the spring, and failing
n making collections, he again npplies to
the bank, but the bank is more obdurate
