To both of these clinrjcos, our plea is the geu oral otic of "not guilty," for tho truth of which we appeal to our renders ; and, with their permission, proceed to "(lance attendance" upon tho Court, at Anderson, for a day or two. Judgo Wakim.aw presided with his accustomed urbanity and ability, dispatching the business before him with promptness, and t? the general satisfaction of those eoncorncd. There wore no important cases up for adjudication, and it was thought the Court would adjourn on Thursday. Tho attendance, both of lawyers and spectators, owing probably to the leanness of tho dockets and the inclomency of the weather, was smaller than usunl. Monday throughout was an cxccoilingly inclement day. In the afternoon, vain and snow, whirlod furiously in almost every direction l?y the over-varying wind, fell in disastrous confusion, causing great suffering to those exposed to its fury. It continued during a portion of tlio night, and was followed hy a freeze. The sun of the succeeding day produced a thaw, with its attendant disngreeablonoss. On Tuesday. Cols.

To insure tins, t motive forces which act upon it must constant, harmonious, and judioiously t plica. Without a motive power, it wor be a mere uinchino, cold, useless, and im endive ; by the nid of such a power, it 1 comes a thing of life, a positive oxistem each pulsation of which is rcplcto with c( sequences.

(Joing forward to the cabin, vhieh is on deck, with a slightly raised valk round three sides of it, 1 found the nptain's wife, son and the second mate. I hen kn?w we were run into, and cut twobirds through the deck just abaft the ,nain < i tannic, starboard, on the lec side. The captain's wife exclaimed : " The hip is sinking; oh! suve mo, somebody." t was too true, and while flic spoke the hip settled t'nHt. I wont aft n^uu to tho liilliacle.

Then T wan carried far down with lie ship, and came up to struggle with tho vaves with the others. The time of these iccurrcuoes must he counted by seconds, as lot more than nvo minutes elapsed from he first shock until the ship went down.

When ill saved were mustered wo numbered wolvo, viz : the captain and his son, mnto, toward, cook, wx men and myself. The laptnin's wife, second mate and eight men <>:'.ig lost. Tho ease of the second mate is Hiculiufly distressing. lie was the only on of his mother, and she was a widow. iYo had overy kindness sbown us on board ho steamer, and the passengers rained uionenough to give the mate and the tight crow ill each.
