Others have not yet been heard from, but all thdse recounted above have been totally wrecked, and their crews have not been accounted for, except in very rare instances; and the few who were saved pould not give any definite intelli? gence of those they had loft behind them. Ont of 4,000 souls only 175 have been aooounted for. Most of these vessels were dashed to pieces on iceberg! and fields of ice, during a terrifio burn cane.

The res only fifteen, out of ninety-eight, don to the broken spars, and were, b chance, picked up by the' crew of tb Retriever. The day after the storm, tL ice opened, and the steamship Retrievi made land; on reaching which, she soo and keeled over, but her crew suoceede in escaping to the shore. She was tl only vessel that reaohed the shore, out i the fleet of sixteen that were in her vic nity, daring the hurricane. Hundrei of the fleet are still to be heard fror and their fate may be even aa gloomy i that of the forty-one vessels, of whioh tl abort account is given by the Time The disaster occurred on the night the 11th of April.

Somebody writing in the New York Times, from Clarksville, Va., advocates a novel plan for taking the wind out of j the Liberal Bepublioan sails and carry . ing tho South en masse over io Grant. It is nothing less than that the Philadel? phia Convention shall insert a plank in its platform in favor of the remunera? tion of the Southern people for the loss of their slave property. If suoh a pro? position should.bo mudo in the Conven? tion, what a breeze it would raise! And yet stranger things have happen od in this year pf political surprises. A bright little girl in Williamsport, having been desired to write a sentence introducing the word "carrion," pea-, sented the following to her teaohor: "Bad ohildren often oarri-on in church when they ought to bo quiet." SUCH IS FAME.-When Bryant, the poet, was in Mexico recently, be met an American lady, and after the introduo tion shu said toa friend: "Everybody io New York knows Mr. Bryant, and they all go to hear his minstrels stag." A Kentucky schoolmaster lately mar? ried one of hts pupils, a girl of twelve. SOCIAL DECEIT.-One of the funniest little bits of semi-hypocrisy to which, certain mien of a social tarn of mind re? sort when questioned too closely by in? judiciously oarioas wives ss to their goings ana comings, is a sort of partner? ship deception, in which they are aided and abetted by the proprietors of liquor saloons and places of resort. It is a most lamentable trntb that many men are fond of concealing petty vices which canses them to desert the domestic fire? side for aa hoar or two, that they may eojoy a pleasant game of billiards aod a | segar, or have a quiet ohat with an old friend over a glass or two of liquor or ale. Whether a- man, over whose wretched head continually hangs the grim prospeot of a Oaudle lecture, is jus? tified in thuB deoeiving his wife, is a question in ethics we are not prepared to discuss. Every man. must settle that little matter with his own conscience and his own wife. Ours is to deal with facts as we find them. American hus? bands are too shrewd to break into open rebellion againt the lawful authority of their wives, aad so they strivo by deceit to accomplish that temporary release from conjugal supervision which they nover could achieve by bold, outspoken mutiny. In this undertaking, the hus? bands have secured the willing co-opera? tion of saloon-keepers, who have en? tered into the couspiraoy with a keen relish that proves them to be good judges of human nature. Scores of the porter-houses, billiard saloons and other tippling-pluces are called by names in? vented for thu express purpuso of con? cealing their true charactor. Many a wife sees her husband leave tho domestic fireside with a High for the urgent busi? ness that apparently keeps him every night so late at "the store," or "the office.*' Tho truth doubtless is, how ' ever, that the places known by these de? ceptive names are nothing more or less than liquor saloons. Many a loving wife hus seeu her treacherous spouse go to tho "lodge," and wished that women might belong to the order, so she could go with him. But tho "lodge" he means is only an? other specimen of man's deceit to con? ceal his failings. The "armory," too, is aa institution which naturally demands a great deal of the time and attention of those young and euthuf tastio soldiers who constitute the life and soul of our National Guard. But there is an "armory" where neither musket, carbine nor sword is ever seen where the only weapons are made of fragile glass, where a great many "loads" are put dowu, but not with ram-rods, and where tho ammunition used, though perhaps equally as fatal as gun-powder, does not usually kill quite as quick. The "drill-room" is another favorite military resort. Tho drilling is usually done ia small squads, and the evolutions are exceedingly simple. The "manual 1 of arms," as here taught, consists of but few motions, easily learned, and with whioh most young mon are already fa- j miliar. The old, quaint and in many oases ut? terly senseless names selected by the proprietors of chop-houses and drinking salooas are almost beyond computation. Among the latter may be mentioned "The 10 40 Loon," the house kept by Harry Lazarus at the tim*? of his mur der, and "The X-10-U-ate," (extenuate,) from which plaoe the murderer, Barney Friery, oume to strike the fatal blow. The war naturally suggested a number of military names. lu addition to those already mentioned, there were "The Knapsack," the "Reveille," the "Assem? bly," the "Cartridge-Box," "Headquar? ters," besides macy special regimental, oorps and company resorts. For the sailors, there are also certain special names, though they mostly lack originality, being simply "Sailors'Sung Harbors, " ' 'Seamen's R J treats, " or some? thing equally commonplace. The attempts to catch tho oyo of tra? velers, and win their custom by some fancied home association, are many, nnd "Our House," "The Cottage," "The Old House at Home," and other titles are supposed to appeal especially to all who are strangers in a strange land. The "House of Lords" aod "House of Caramons," as may bo supposed, are English houses. There ure, of course, mauy houses, the names of whioh appeal to national feel? ing and prejudices, as "Tho Thistle," tho "Bagpipes," the "Plaid and Tar? tan," for Scotch; "Erin go Brugb," the "Green lalo," tho "Fenian," tho "Oulti Dart," and others, for the Irish; the "Telegraph," the ''Express," "Cobweb Hall," the "Sido Pocket," the "Club Boom," and tho "Star," all lind numer? ous customers, und there are pleuty of "Shades" to be found even in the bright? est sunshine. M. Pavy, a French gentleman, who I has projeoted a voyugo to the North Pole on au ludia rubber ruft, will start from Sun Francisco shortly, with three com? panions. Of his associates, ono is Capt. 1 Hicks, who is the daring neuman who crossed the Atlantic on the raft Nonpa? reil. Tho present raft is of similar con? struction with that. The expeditiou goes first to Petropaulowski, thence to Wrangol's Island. After this, they ex? pect to make their way to the open Polar Sea, launching their raft, iu which they hope to reach the coast of Green? land. How TUB ILLINOIS DBHOOIUOY WILL Go.-Gun. E. L. Merritt, editor of the Illinois Slate Register, and the' contra! organ of the Democracy of .that State, wiites, under date of the 15th instant, that "the Illinois Democracy will go to the Baltimore Convention solid for Gree? ley und Brown." He adds a list of the entire Democratic press of the Stato, in which only four papers oppose the Libe? ral ticket. E J. Worihy, of Chester Couaty, has beeu presented by ?tho gruod jnry for disturbing a religious assemblage nt Brushy Fork Church oa Sunday, the 19th instant. TUB POLICY OF ras G KANT RADIOALB. A Grant Radical, of more zeal thea dis oretion, declared on the street recently, to a Greeley Democrat, that the Admi- \ castration party would spend $2,000,000 at the Baltimore Convention, to influence the Democrats to make a straight-out Democratic nomination. This shows clearly the animus of the party in power, and admonishes Demo? crats to be not deceived by the silver tongued serpenta of the Badical party who are endeavoring to flatter them into I the nomination of a straight-out Demo? cratic ticket at the Baltimore Conven? tion. I They will lose no occasion, from now until the Demooratio Convention assem? bles, to offer to the an wary Democrat thia apple of discord, and, like their pro? genitor of old, beg of them to "eat, for ye shall not surely diet" But we can say to this party who have gained and expect to perpetuate their power by bribery, that delegates will be sent from this State to the Baltimore Convention who oannot be purchased for gold or place into a betrayal of the peo? ple's trust. And we have an abiding hope that every State will be equally guarded in the eleotion of delegates to this most important Convention ever held upon the American continent. I Galveston News. Henry S. Foote, of Tennessee, in an? nouncing himself as a candidate for Congress, says: "Having been magnani? mously relieved from oivil dissbilities about three days since by a wiso and pa? ternal Government, and feeling desirous of making a proper display of gratitude therefor, I announoe myself a candidate for a seat in the House of Representa? tives of the United States Congress for the State at large, declining to submit my claims as a candidate tq a caucus of any or either politioal party. I shall support Greeley aad Brown, and stand firmly and inflexibly by the principles embodied ia tho Cincinnati platform, I and on Greeley's noble letter of acoept I ance." Portugal, in a hundred years, has not quarreled with any power.
