My larger signal, tou continued to drift ne nearer, to hei track, and took mne almost out of sighi of my two companions. When withir about two or three miles of .s, and ,hout an hour and a half after shel first hove in sight, we were relieved b her backing her sails, altering het eeurse, and laying to for a while, theti hoisting a signal on her spanger gail she put about and bore away, on and on fhr in the distance on the opposite tack until my heart began to fail Agirif.doubting, whether-she was beat Ing to windward for us, or had gom on her way rejoiceing in the discove.sy and reecue ut only a portion of Lhe unifrttunate wretches withing range ol her. Butvagainjhow light and buov. art was the joy as tihe at last put about and standing directly for us ; on and un she advanced likea saving angel, until we could see her noble lookinu hull distinctly rise and fall within lit tie over a mile distant fron us, when she backed her sails again, and waited for some time in prosecution of her mission of mercy, no doubt; relieving some of our scattering comipaluionis fLom a like precarious state. Soon she tilled away again, and at last laying to close by the two firemen, I saw her boat lowered with fire men in it, who, picking Up the two firemen in their course, came dashing along direct for my rafi, and soon bouncing alongside, I allowed myself to tumble aboard of them, unable physically to adopt anything of a graceful action, and morally overpowered with gi ti tude to- God and to those his instru ments... l'renained speechless until I got on board the ship. I'elore getting en board,. however, the boat. went away fdr some distance to windward, and picked usp the three other fit omen, who I had seen leave the Arctic, but who had been ever since out of view. We all got huddled upon the deck somehow, although rather awkwardly, and making my way down to her neat, little cabin, as well as my stiff feet and legs would allow, I had the pleas ure of' paying my respects to Captain John Xaussell, and f'ound myself on board the ship Cambria, of Greenock, bound from Glascow to Quebee. Capt. Russell, Rev. Mr. Walker, if the Free Church of Scotland, and his very kind and attentivet lady, Mr, Sither land, of Caithnesshire in Scotland, M r. JohA McNaught, and several of the passengers of the steerage, paid every attention that I could ha% e desired Capt. Russell giving moe up the berth which he had bee& using- himself; and putting pverything on board in requi sition that might tend in the least to relieve and maike us comfortable. I was surprised Lo learn that the old Frenchman, whom we had picked up from the Vesta, was our good genius on this occasion. Being directly in the track of the approaching Cantiria, he was picked up by the second mate of the Cambria. Mr. loss, jumping overboard with a line, and seizing hold of the nan, they were both pulled on board, and the rescued Frenchman, in the best English he could muster, made Catpt. Rluawell aware that others were necar, who then~ went to the masthead and with his glass made out the other four pieces of wreck, which we were all on, and making his long tack to windward, .eamne back in the midst of'us, piemiing up first. from that half'round piece oi wreck that I saw burst above the sur. face at the time of the shuip going un. der, Capt. Luce, Mr. George F. Allen,~ of the Novelty Works, and a young German, a passenget' on the Arctic, by the name of Fer'dinand Kaye. They, along with eight others of' those whoe went down with the ship, had gained this piece of wreek, which turned ont to be a segment of one of' the pad 1, boxes, and, singulair as it .senms, Capt. Luce, who had stuck by his sinking ship to the last minute, was thtus saved ~a& last on the verty boards which as commander were his po)st ofi dumty; prauctically his post of duty saved hin, rhe same thing, how~~ever, had calused the death of' an interestinig son, by striking or falling on him as it bur-st above water. The eight others, who had gained it with-them, htad fromt tinte to timie per. ished on it, and Mr. Kayo was on ahe foint of making the ninth; wheni the. Cambria hove in sight heo had becomec simuost a lunatic from extreme thirst, from eating biscuit soaking in sea wa ter, and attempted to quiencht it by blood sucked f'romi veins of his arnm opened with his penknif'e, amnd attempt. Ing to drowvn himself several times, he had been prevented by Catpt. Lutce and Mr. Allen, until longer entdurane seemed impossible with him whlen the Camubria appeared. Mr. Allen too. although saved himrself, had too much reason to fear the loss of hais wife and several other relatives, who were on hoard with him and whtom lie saw~ * lsoed. on thme raft of' spars before the -ship went under.

It is hut a few days sin1ce Governor - Birr left his home in Penidleton District to assumne the oflicial duties to wvhiich he htad been appointed by the President; his death was unexpected and wvill be universalty regretted. Governor Burr was comp'ai itively a young but fromt the ability lae had already displayed, gave promise of a brilliant fututre. The Mails. The a bsorbing topie with the Charles, ton ad Columbia papers, at this time, is the dispute bietween the P'ostmiaster Getnerad atnd the President of the South Carinia lIiroad, in relation to the tratisportation of the mii s. This is the day oni which the mii is to lbe discotinuedl (on the Sotuth Carolina tirai f the trsproposed bythe Presidet.it.of that. road are not complied wvithi. Should thuis event take place a serious disarrangement of the mails will take place, but we cannot think thiat suach will be the c ase. The Chiarlestoni chambier of coinmiert e have sent a delegate to WVashington to confer with the Postmaster General upon the subaject : the matters in dispute will doubtless be0 thorouaghly investigated and wl.ich ever party is in thte wron~g, public opinion will force to yield. rnir Johna Frazakin. The i nforma tion, whlich wve published in our last issue relative to the discov. cry of the remaitts of a portion of Sir JonN FRtANKLtN's party, has been eon firmed by further reports. Tho Indi. ans who brought the intelligence, had in their possessioni a number of articles, that have been identified as belonging to the expedition, and which have been purchased from them to be sent to Europe. Sim Jouw FRANKLIN'S expedi. tion left England in 1845, since which time, until now, nothing had beoen beard of it. It is estimated that she various expeditions sent out upon its search costs over four millions of dollars Our New Volume. With this number the Bunner comnibn ces its 9th volume and presents a favotab opportunity for those who feel disposed ti patronize their District papers, to subscrib and thus place it in the power of the Prr prietors to improve and add to the presen publication. Of the importance of a frec honest, and independent Press to any con munity, there can be no question, and tI support such is a duty every man owes I himself and society. ,Tp' those who wisl to advertise, the Banner presents a happ: opportunity, our rates are low and o subscription list larger than at any fornio period ; the inportance -too of advertisini and making ones business known is nov universally acknowledged, and without i no man can hope to succeeedi if he de pends upon the public 'for support. Th< people of this section of the State are ever, day becoming more enlightened, bette educated and more alive to their true in terests. With this advancement the cir enlation of the paper extends and with i the reputation, credit and acquaintance o the advertisor. We hope our friends wil not be slow to perceive and take hold u the advantages thus offered. To oar Subscribers. We have heard, within the inst few weeks, so niirk complaint from sub scribers abotit not receiving. their pa pers, that we are compelled, injustic< to ourselves, to say the fiIu/I is not woitA us. In several instaices, lately, wher persons have conic to our olice wit: the usual " what's the matter we havei not got our Banner this week," they have bectn taken to the Post oflice and bad it, proved to their satisfaction, tha the Banner had been mailed for theim and our duty in the premises faithful. ly discharged. This is all we can do, After the paper is mailed our duty is done, and if it is not received then, it i6 because some I'ost.Master, througli whose hands it has to pass, neglects tC do his duty in forwarding or delivering it. We hold ourselves ready and able to show that we always mail every subscriber's paper, and we hope if any of our friends ftil to get their paper hereafter, they will notify us of it and we promise t4) use every exertioi tc let the blame rost, where it should, and to remedy the evil.
