lies in thirty-six feet or water j uv over the bar
sixteen miles from the city. She rests on a hard
shell bottom, and lies northwest and southeast,
upright on her keel. The water out here is beau?
tifully blue and clear, and the divers prosecute
their work with much less difficulty than at the
Weehawken. Her decks, masts and rigging have
all been eaten away by the worms, and little
else ls now left ol her but the huge black hull.

several years ago. The government has a buoy
planted about three hundred yards east south?
east or this wreck, which enables the wreckers to
gneBs pretty closely as to her whereabouts. To
render the lintier a certainty, however, Captain
Soames, when he leaves her to come up to tba
city, marks her position with a buoy fastened to
the centre of her hull. About twenty feet south
of the wreck of the doomed ship lies the hull or
her destroyer, the
CONFEDERATE TORPEDO-BOAT.

THE SONS OP TEMPERANCE-EXCURSION AND
P?BLiq MSSTINO.-The members of the Grand
Division uuder the auspices and as the guests of
the Palmetto -Division, enjoyed an excursion
around the harbor yesterday afternoon on the
steamer Emilie. The steamer left tbewharf at
half-past 3 o'clock, and visited the various points
of interest about the harbor. A fine band of
music regaled the excursionists at Intervals with
delightful airs, and the presence or a large num?
ber of the gentle sex added not a little to the
pleasnrea of the trip. The clouds which over?
spread the sky formed a pleasing shade from the
fierce rays of the sun, aud the party landed about
7 o'clock, after spending a inost delightful after?
noon on the water.
lu the evening the Sous assembled at the Se?
cond PresTiy erlan Church for the public meeting.
The unexpected shower at the appo nted time
prevented a large nuinb' r ?if persona from attend?
ing, but. a good many, who were not members of
the order were present, and showed a decided in?
terest in the proceedings. The exercises were
opened by a fervent prayer from the Rev. Brother
O. F. Gregory, arter which the presiding officer,
BrotherB. D.Townsend P. M. W. P;, Introduced
the speakers tn a few appropriate and compli?
mentary remarks. Addresses showing the bene?
fits and good influence or thc order, and advocat
tlieprlnclples or total abstinence, were delivered
by the Revs. Brother John Culpeper, or Darling?
ton, Brother Carlisle, of Trinity Church, and
Brother J. T. Wightman, of the Spring Street
Methodist Church. Several beautiful hymns were
song between the addresses, and the meeting
closed with the Benediction.
The convention of the Sons .or Temperance In
this city shows the affairs of the order to be as
prosperous as coold be hoped for, and gives
gronnd for good hope In the future. The nucleus
now organized bids fair to spread its Influence
on every Bide, and the speedy reorganization of
various divisions in the upper portion or the
State betokens a degree of prosperity only
equalled by the ante-bellum records of the Sons
in this State.

ness of mucb benefit to our city, with earnest?
ness abd enterprise he sought, in a private and
public capacity, to advance the Interest of our
people, and when we reflect upon the results of
nts error ts we naturally repeat what we h ive so
often felt, our indebtedness to that great conptry
from which he came for another of its worthy and
nocle-sops.
-We feel- it-to be our sad privilege to speak of
om* esteem for the man. and of oar loss tts a
member or this board. Therefore, be it
Resolved, That in the death of our esteemed
member, John Campeen, this beard lament with
heartfelt sorrow the loss they have sustained, and
offer their sympathies to his widowand the mem?
bers of his family In their Bad bereavement.
Resolved, That a blank- page in our minnie
book be dedicated to his memory.
Resolved, That a copy of this preamble and the
resolutions be sent to the widow cf the deceased.
Resolve-i, Thar .the same be published ?a the

Wbteh being unanimously adopted, Mt. W. 0.
bee offered the following tribute to the late Mr.
Kure:
Mr. President-lt will be my mournful privi?
lege to submit for the action of this board, pro?
ceedings* In relation' to the demise ot one of our
late directora, and design efl te ex-press our sense
or the calamity to which yon have so feel! gly re?
ferred.
Ours, Hr. President, ls not a foss confined to
Dar own circle, with the church, -of which oe
was a consistent and devoted member: with the
ioclet[ei and boards, ewer which he presided, or
?MK whose members he counselled'-with-thtw
large and influential class of whioh he was a
modi-1 representative: with that Inner circle of
close and tender relations,- whose grief ls sacred
-we mourn the death of Robert Mure.
It ls not my purpose. Hr. President, to attempt
even a brief review of the life and character of
our late lamented director., It would be merely
reiterating what has been said, and better said,
from the sacred pulpit, ta the nubile Journals, and
by those organized bodies of nts fellow citizen
who have been convened to give expression * to
their experience and their sorrow.
I only desire to add my testimony td the troth
fulness of th? picture which-has bee?'thun'pre?
sen ted. For many, many years. Mr. President,
lt was my" privilege to be associated with Mr,
Mure ia works of usefulness and benevolence.
Sreater diligence In the discharge of duty, more
faithfulness In the ex?cution of trusts, loftier in?
tegrity, more freedom from gulle I have never,
known; and firmly do I believe that he ls now In
the enjoyment of that bliss "which eye hath not
seen nor ear heard, neither have entered Into the
heart of man, the things which God hajji pre?
pared for them that l-ve him."
There was one trait of Mr. More's character to
which I have seen na special allusion-one so
rare, so beautiful-that I c innot, refrain irom
briefly noticing lt. I allude, Mr. President, to
that reticence with regard to the foibles and frail?
ties or others. Detraction for him had no charms.
I have seen him tested, when circumstances of a
personal nature must have proved-a strong temp?
tation to depart from what appeared to.be a rule
of his life. But where he could neither commend,
lustily, palliate, nor excuse, his Ups were sealed.
With this feeble tribute to th : memory or our
'eceased friend, I will now, Mr. President, EUD
mlt for the consideration of the board; the pro?
ceedings to which I referred:
Mr. Bee then offered the following preamble and
resolutions: ' . .
Emanating from original bodies of thc highest
position and influence in this community-from
the social clrclt-from the House of God-notes of
lamentation still sound In our ears, and a vacant
seat at this b -aril, silently, yet eloquently reit?
erates the mournful tidings that aa axemolary
man-a valued citizen-a christian gentleman
has passed from time to ?'that bourne from whloh
no traveller retorna."
Of one so justly esteemed, so deservedly honor?
ed, so universally respected, naught remains but
the example of a well spent life; the memory of
vlrtnes which a native modesty rendered more
lustrous, and of attributes which revealed and
dignified the man.
Upon the altar of friendship and affection, con?
secrated to his memory, lt is our sad privilege to
place a feeble tribute tn testimony of his worth
and of our esteem. Therefore,
Resolved, That In the demise of Robert Mure
this board bas been deprived of one of Its earliest,
most valued and efficient membe a whose rip
experience, inflexible Integrity and enlarged
views enlightened it? oonnarls, dignified Its ac?
tion, and Imparted confidence tc Its measures.
Resolved, That we will ever cherish the recollec?
tion or that urbanity, Impartiality anti thoughtful
consideration, which marked his official relations
tv Uh each member of the board.
Resolved, That a page in our minute book be
inscribed with his nama, and dedicated to his
memory.
Resolved, That a copy of these proceedings be
transmitted to the family of our late lamented di?
rector, with tficasSurance cf the respectful and
sincere sympathy of each member or the board
In their sad and Irreparable bereavement, and
that a copy be famished the dally papers for
publication.
Unanimously adopted, and ordered that the
proceedings be published ta the dally papers, and
that copies be furnished the families bf the de?
ceased.
