that she was abaut to be engulphed fori *> erer. He had just time to sever his own rope, and give the word to the mate, when the yawning deep swallowed up the ship and passengers, accompanied by a terrible shriek. Not a fragment remained to tell where she was after the sea closeed ovecjjer, except a large water cask. Both * ^ .nnvt I boaTkft^femaiued near me now. i,CAk morning', when the horrors of their situation were fully disclose-!. Capt. Harris' boat was 12 feet long and contained 9 persons, while the long boat had crowded into it forty persons! He ^ >8ays they were so thick they could not move. They literally stood and lay upon each other. Most of the females were in r' their night clothes, and many of them L> Were chilled to insensibility the next [ morning from the severity- of the wether. ^ The oars could not be reached, the water remained unbailed, and the boat lay utter- ( . 1 y helpless upon the surface of the water. | After taking a list of those on board and , * advising them to be of good cheer, Capt. , Harris determined to try and reach New- ( ^ foundland. He had in his boat forty - ?M C..A ' pounds of bread and a canister who u?c gallons of water. He immediately put all on short allowance of half a gill of water three times a day, and at morning and evening one third of a sea buiscuit. The case of his sail needles, which he exhibited to us, was the little vessel out of which j* he drank this precious allowance of water. "During the six days and nights they were in the boal, it rained and hailed, and the ' Sailors suffered bitterly with cold in their hands and feet. They could not change their position, and of course had no exercise, and the bottom of the boat was continually covered with water. The feet ofi -the men had been frozen badly, but the | woman did -not suffer much as the sailors .each contributed of their clothing to preserve her from the cold. During this period of time, Ca'pt. Harris says he is not viconcious of haying slept a moment. He w-as at.ihe helm constantly. It required vthe.almost.care, to prevent his little boat from shippingjsea*, which would at once ,rAL--- i -11.. In,r| a blanket -iia?e swmi.|>ru u^i. a., - as a sail.

Their joy was intense, j but when within half a mile, stte changed 1 her course. A fog came up, and they lost-14 sight of oac^ other. Almos' frantic, he!' made erery possible cry of distress, and a J' / .horn was hcared in the fog. Two days ? clasped after this before they were taken tip 1 by the French craft which rescued them. ' t ... lie said his icsolution and courage were strong to the last, although the famished 1 condition of iiis fellow sufferers told him < fh^y could not hold out much longer. < Yet when he readied the deck of the ship I :j?nd fell that he was safe, his strength failed and he fell senseless. At this time, I he supposed the next day would have i enabled him to reach land. It was his intention to gel provisions and prosecute bis perilous voyage. 11c found he was j 200 miles from shore, among ice, and in a:j suffering state, and he abandoned the!, thought, and received every possible kind- . tinss.from those who had rescued him and i; liis companions from ilieir peril-;. |] ^Capt. Harris believes nothing tvas clone 1 ( ou board the Long Boat, but what inexora- 1 ble necessity demanded. The Mate said , before they parted, that some of them'( would perish with exposure and want of - provisions and c slight breeze would - i swamp the. boat. lie relieved her by committing to a watery grave, those who were insensible and nearly dead, and thus-' savetf'the'living. The idle fictions about ? cruelties practised, were set on float by! < French news runners In conclusion, out < of 82 souls on board. 33 were swallowed ,< . tip in the fathomless ocean with the ship. It Their anguish was terrific, and the scene ? . appalling, as they crowded upon her bul- f *,warks and rigging, still imploring of the t . hapless survivors to save them. Bul in J t that hour of terror, all considerations hut i self-preservation were forgi?tten. While vainly pleading for help, the mighty deep yawned, and husband and wife, child and , parent, were instantly in the "deep ocean ( buried." Capt. Harris slates that even ( -now, he starts involuntarily in his sleep at , .the. recollection of the .appalling scenes he , has witnessed.

Our National Anniversary was colebrated on Sat- i urday last witli the samo spirit and enthusiasm which has heretofore marked the return of the birtft-day of our National Independence. The day was ushered i in by the firing of cannon and the ringing of bells. At 9 o'clock the citizens assembled at the Court House, and proceeded t> the election of an orator for trie next Anniversary, winch resulted in tne cuoicu of B. B. Salmond Esq, The following gentlemen were appointed a Commitico of Arrangements for that occasion: J. Cantev, W. Carlisle and K. S. Moffat. After the election, the citizens and Military, un- ' tier tho direction of Adjutant Gen. Cantev, assisted t( by Maj. J. D. Murray, marched in procession to J the Presbyterian Church, when, after an appropriate 1 and impressivo prayer by the Rev. VV. C. Kirkland, 1 the following anthem from the accomplished pen of Miss Phelps was sung by the choir. ] All hail tho glorious dead, That fell in Freedom's Cause? ' That for Columbia's soil have blod, I Her Liberty and Laws. ' < 'Mid triumph's peals to-day ( The trump's exulting tone, t Shall we forget the slumbering cloy ( That rest beneath yon slono?

For thee each passion swells, And from her fountains deep and clear Our fond devotion wells. Then lot each valiant band Her "Stars and Stripes" display. And proud unsho ith the glittering brand In dark oppressions day. Yes! rally round her fanes. And guard her bulwarks woll, That while America remains, Fair Freedom there may dwell. B. B. Salmond Esq. then read, in a peculiarly "clicitous manner, the declaration of Independence. Hail Columbia" was then sung in fine style by the ihoir, after which, Tnos. S. Anderson Esq. dclivcr;d an eloquent and patriotic oration. On no former occasion have wo soen an audience more gratified than on the present. The orator was frequently intcrruplcd by the repeated plaudits of the assembly., In the afternoon, a sumptuous barbacue was provided, of which a large number of our citizens partook, and the day passed off without the occurrence if nnv pv(-ni to mar the ceneral joy which seemed | .o pervade the community. The toasts drank on tho occasion wero handed in ' .00 lato for publication this week. They shall apscar in our next. Major General Alexander Macomb died at Wash, ington on Friday the 25th ult. in tho GOth yfcar of !jis age. Ho entered the army at a very early age, and was brcvcttcd as Major General on the 11th Sept. 1814 " for distinguished and gallant conduct in defeating the enemy at Plaltsburg." In May 1828 he was appointed Commander in Chief as the suc:essor of the late Gen. Brown. Gen. Scott, it is rumoured, has been nominated hy the President, to succeed Gen. Macomd, as Soncral in Chief. EXECUTION OF JOHN SWEAT. Tho execution of John Sweat, for the murder of ruomas P. Picket, took place in pursuance of his lentence, on Friday last, at Lancasterville. A :orresnondont on the spot has sent us the following ' jommunication containing the last and dying words )f tho criminal. We have no room for remarks, ? it length, on this paper, but from a hasty perusal, t md from all we have heard of the case before and t 'incc, the trial of Sweat, wc arc inclined to ques. 8 ion tho impartiality and entire correctness of all t .licsc dying words. Our correspondent has, however, 8 we doubt not, faithfully reported thcin: ' I SWEATS CONFESSION. r As I am about to suffer the sentence of tho law for he murder of Thomas P. Pickett, it is, perhaps, ex- r jectcd, and in accordance with that expectation I ^ icsire to make a statement of tho facts which led on ^ ;o, and ended in his death?as well that I may put c ny country in possession of the true state of the c Tacts, as that, by so doing, I my do all in my power 11 o atone for the violated justice of my country by a f .rue and open confession of my guilt, so far as an ? mpartial country, after hearing this, my confession, ihall judge me guilty?and as that, by it I may bear c his, my last and dying testimony to the soul.deslroy. 0 ng and accursed consequences of Drunkenness and a Jabbath-breakinq?tho two great crying sins of 1 he day.

I hope, therefore, my fellow f< :itizens will receive it, as indeed it is, tho truth, and rr tothing but the truth. And I will here observe that C hough it inay appear in making this statement, I am r< ather advocating my cause, and maintaining my in- b locencc, nothing is farther from my object. No!

I take this jF jeeasion to say, that what I shall say is not said in li 1 spirit of unkiudnesa. No?so far from there being w my spirit of unkindness in my breast towards any I person, I can say, in view of eternity, and in the siu- h jerity ofmy soul, that I am in charity with thojphole B world?nor is there any spirit of malice, revenge, or w my other unholy passion in my heart?God is wit- b ness?But I fp.ryer-.tly love the whole family of man- n v ' "* ' .f ' * *<yiV? /f" ' .- : ". - N *-.'.

S; On Saturday, the 13 th of March, tlio day .previous tl to the day on which the deplorable event occurred, I tii was taken sick, and remained in bed all day; the next C morning (Sunday) I sent for a neighbor, who came and bled me; after which, feeling better, I accompa- a nied him to Mrs. Moore's; after remaining there a al Bhort time, 1 went to Mr. Crenshaw's, and took some ir dinner; thence, in company with Chapman Moore, I w I went to tire river for the unhallowed purpose of as- ai Bisting hiin in repairing his batteau?which done, we m went to the fishery or fish house, the scene of the ai murder. This was about two hours by sun. Up to ! J this time, I had not drank any thing, and my only vi inducement in going there was drink and idle com- C party. After we had been there some short time, si Pickett, the deceased, came, accompanied by Abncr is D. Johnson, Asa Crenshaw and I believe some one pi else, not now recollected. Ho had been drinking, di k.?* mm* kit* n oIiasI I'miA V\/?P/\rn llO SI UUl liVt lUUtil?W?UJ UIUIU- UUb u OllVJb UIII6 Ubiv.v uw offered me repeated and unprovoked insults, both by ol ivords and acts?calling me a negro, a d?d negro, ol See., striking the house (against which I was leaning aj for support, being weak,) near my head with a frow cl with which, together with a pistol, he was armed? j bi pushed tho pistol against my car, took my sore arm, hi ivhieh was in a sling, while I was leaning against 1 si the house, and pushed it violently and repeatedly a- r) ja.inst the house. During all this time, which las. ted perhaps an hourvI am not conscious of saying or te Joing any thing to provoke his insults. Or! the con- m trary, I did hope to appoase him by silence and sub- w mission?and this my disposition was induced by the th fact that I was sick, weak, had a sore arm in a sling, I irunk and felt therefore perfectly unprepared and m indisposed to fight. The only words I utter, to id or the most offonsivo I used on the occasion, wcro, "Tom, put up your pistol?there is no use 'or it amonir vour friends." These words I used C " J ivhcn be pushed his pistol, cocked it and let it down 01 cpoatedly, in my face. After this, he repeatedly )' presented his pistol in my face, levelled it with ray ni jars, and shoved ino in my breast with its muzzle, J' lis thumb at the same time on the cock. *v This continued until about, or a littlo after sun. ^ lot, when James Moore took me out and confidentialy told me that he heard Picket say lie would shoot b'l ne before I left tho place: I replied, "if he in- VI lends doing so, he must make a sure shot, or then ft le will never make another." We then went in- ft .0 the house, wliero Picket was, but \vithout no- P .icing him, I went to tho board and took a drink. Vl Picket immediately steped up, took tho tumbler, and b cashed it, took his Pistol and laid it from behind me, over my shoulder, on a level with, and very tear my car, and at the same time observed in an jvcrbcaring and insulting way that when he drank, ic did so with white folks. I pushed him from me, ^ jbserving, "let mo alone Tom?go and sit down," ^ le replied, "you are not fit to talk with me, G?d 'a D?n you, shut up your jaw. He then turned e' ound, and walked off, but immediately returned vith the Frow in his right hand in a threatening m nanner. I told him to let me alone, after which I 111 oft the house. This was about night fall. When jut, I threw up, being sick with tho liquor on an ' ' jmpty stomach; as I returned into the house I picked up a stone in tho yard, with tho sole view of 01 epellingany more insults; J. Moorcbeing inthoyard, ind seeing nie pick up the stone, lie having a light, ' equcsted nic never to mind hiin, as wo (Picket and nysclf) were drunk. I replied that if Picket in- J tulted me any more that night, I would use it, or itrike hhn with it. As I went into the house, I net Picket with tho Frow and Pistol; having heard ny remarks to Mooro as I suppose, for he advanced mi me with the Frow raised in the act of striking, tj [ then struck him, or intended to strike him with ic Lho stone, he almost simultaneously knocked inc r j lown with the Frow, jumped on me, and while jeating and gouging me, I put my hand in my pocket, took out my knife, and after calling out sc- fc reral times to part us, in the act of parting and while yet on the ground, under tho excitement of ? he moment, I stabbed him, and thus deprived a ttJ fallow creature of life against whom, I most solemnly protest, I have not nor ever had tho least v; nalice; and done an act which under any other cir- \\ ;umstances, I would not have committed for ten housand worlds?which I immediately, 0:1 learning lis situation most deeply deplored, and for which I low, and ever have most sincerely grieved. ? It was stated on the trial by one of the witness. :s, that I expressed threats, that I stated that I had :omo there to kill Picket, and that I would do so >oforc I left the ground. To say the least, I must jjj iay, with duo respect for the witness, he was rnis. akon. My expressions to' him, as I have before tated, were: that if (Picket) intended to shoot me, ic must make a sure shot or then he would never J nakc another. ^ It was also stated by another witness that the lost morning, when I was tied and in custody, . confessed to him I intended to kilt the deceased. 10 This I positively deny. As I was sober, in this, I :ant.be mistaken, and am only astonished how he ^ ould have been. If these witnesses mado wilful nisreproscntations in order to prejudice my cause, I iray God to grant tliem repentance. It will bo rc- ^ ollcctea too, that according to the testimony bo- j ^ ore the Court, and on the trial, I stabbed tho de- j ^ eased some time after we were parted, showing old, deliberate malice; this I deny being the case, nd have given upon tho whole, a true statement of' ^ he principal and material facts of tho case accoring to the best of my recollection. ? Tho foregoing statement, as I premised, is not ar tho purpose of exciting the commiseration of ] ly fellow citizens or easing my conscience of the (le uilt which I have most justly and righteously incur, la I 3d?that guilt can never be erased, but by a Saviour's S. lood. I confess I am guilty ot the blood of my bro- VV ler, and in the sight of Hiin of whoso judgment its lone, at this awful period, I should alone be coccorn- ry 3.
