Aiiito' leeward considerably as she advanced, stil I felt suto' if she kept on the same'tack she would undoubt edly see' our signals beibro passing beyond. My larger signal, too,, continued to drift mo nearer to her track, aitid took me almost out of sight of my two conpatliois. When within about two or three miles of' us, and about an hour and a half after site first - hove in sight, we were relieved by her backing her sails, altering her eurse, and laying to for a while, thetn olisting a signal on her spanger gaff she put about an..d bore away, on and on fhr in the distande on the opposite tack until my heart began to fiail agirf.doubiig. whether-sie was beat ing to windward for us, or had gone ei her way rejoiceing in the disco-ve.ty and rerue of only a portion of'the ianqrttunate wretches withing range of her But"againyfhow light and buoy. ant was the joy as she at last put about and astanding directly for us; on and -in the advanced like a saving angel, until we could see her noble looking hull'distinctly rise and fall within lit tIe over a mile distant from us, whent she backed her sails again, and waited for some time in prosecution of her inission of mercy, no doubt; relieving some of our bcattering companions fhom a like precarious state. Soon she filled away again, and at last laying to close by the two firemen, I saw her boat lowered with five men in it, who, picking up the two firemen in their course, came datshing along direct for in) rafi, and soon lounaeing alongside, I allowed myself to tumtble aboard ofthen, utable physically to adopt anything of a gracefil action, and morally overpowered with giati tude to. God and to those his instrai mnents.. Iremained speechless until I got on board the ship. Ilelore getting on board,. however, the boat went away fbr some distance to wind ward, and picked tap the three other fa iemen, 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 ts my stiff feet and legs would allow, I had the pleas ure of paying my respects to Captain John Russell, and found myself on board the ship Cambria, of Greenock, bound fron Glascow to Quebec. Capt. Russell, Rev. Mr. Walker, of the Free Church of Scotland, and his very kind and attentive lady, Mr. Suather Jand, of Caithnesshire in Scotlanid, M r. Aohn McNaught, and several of the passengers of the steerage, paid every atention that I could ha% e desired Capt. iRussell giving tme up the berth which he had beea using himself, and putting everything on board itt requi. fition that night tend in the least to relieve and ake us comfortable. I was surprised to leuarn that the old Frenchman, whon we had picked up from the Vesta, was our good getiaus on this occasion. Being directly in the track of the approaching Cambria, he was picked up by the second mate of the Catmbria. Mr. Ross, jumping overboard with a line, atnd seizing hold of the man, they were both pulled on board, and the rescued Frenchman, in the best English he could mutster, made Ca~pt. ltausel aware that others were neat', who then~t went to the masthecad and wvith htis glass made out the other four pieces of wreck, which wve were all ont, and miaking his long tack to winadwardh, .came back in the midst of'us, pieann up first, from that haltf rounad piece of. wreck that I saw~ burst above the sur. face at the tiare of the ship going un-t der, Capt. Luce, Mr. George F. Allent, of the Novelty Works, and a young German, a passenger on thte Arctic, by the namne of Ferdinand Kaye. They, along with eight others of' those who went down with the ship, had gained this piece of wreek, which turned out to be a segment of one of' the paidi 1 boxes, and, singular as it seems, Capt. Luce, who had stuck by his sinkinag ship to the last minute, was thus saved .a& last on the vet y boards which as comantder were his post of' duty; practically his post of duty savedI hitm. The same thing, however, htad catused the death of' an inaterestling sona, by striking or fulling on him as it but-st above water. The eight others, who had gained it with'thern, htad fronm time to timea per. ished eta it, and Mr. K(aye was ona :he jint ofrimaking the ninath; whena thec Cambria hove in sight he hand becomec almorst a lunatic frora extreme thirst, from sating biscuit soaking itt sea wa. ter, and attempted to qutenach it by blood sucked f'romn veins of' hais arim opened with his penknife, nad attempt ing to drown himself' several times, he had been prevented by Capt.

BWaT, recently appointed Goveanor of(Nebraska, had died in thte Territory on thte 18tht instattt. It is but a few days since Governor BLuar left htis htome in Petndleton District to assum'e the uflicial duties to which he hatd been appointed by the President.; his deatht was unexpected and will be universally regretted. Governor BtT was compearitively a youtng but front the ability heo had already displayed, gave promise of a The MYails. 1iThe absorbing topic with thte Chtarles. ton and( Colutmbia papers, at this time, is the disputte h'etwceen the P'ostntaaster General antd the President ofthte Southt Car-olina lRailroad, ini relatiorn to t'ts trantsportation of the mtails. 1'Tis is the dauy (on whichl the mail is to be disotntnedl otn the Sotuth Carolina liailroa~d, if the terms proposed by the Presidet. of thtat, road are ntot complied with. Should this evctnt take place a serais disarrangement of the mails will take place, but we cannot thitnk that sneh will be thte e ise. The Chles~Ltont chanmber of commerL- a have setnt a delegate to WVashaington to contfer withI the P'ostumster G;eneral upont the subject :the mtatters in dispute will doubtless be thorouighly investigated and wl.ich ever party is in the wror~g, public opinion will force to yield. riir Johan Fankiss.. Thie ino~rmnationt, which we published in otur last issue relative to the discov. ery of thte remains of a portion of Sir Jomn FRAN KLJN's party, htas beteotn. firmed by further reports. The Indi ans who brought the intelligence, had in thteir possession a number of articles, that have been identified as belonging to the expedition, and whticht have been pturchased from them to be sent to Europe. Sta Jons FRANmcr.tN's expedi tion left Englantd in 1845, since which time, until now, nothting htad been heard of it. It is estimated that she various expeditions sent out upon its search costs over four mbillions of Our New Volume. With this number the Bunner comnAbn. ces its 9th volume and presents a favotable opportunity for those who feel disposed t' patronize their District papers, to subscribe and thus place it in the power of the Pro prietors to improve and add to the present publication. Of the importance of a free, honest, and independent Press to any coim munity, there can be no question, and to support such is a duty every man owes to himself and society. 'To those who wish to advertise, the Banner presents a happy opportunity-, our rates are low and our subscription list larger than at any forniar period; the importance - too of advertisink and making ones business known is unw universally acknowledged, and without it no man can hope to succeeed if ha de. pends upon the public 'for -support. The people of this section of the State are every day becoming more enlightened, better educated and more alive to their true in. terests. With this advancement the cir. culation of the paper extends and with it the reputation, credit and acquaintance of the advertisor. We hope our friends will not bo slow to perceive and take hold of the advantages thus offered. To our Subscribers. We have heard, within the last few weeks, so inocih complaint from sub. scribers about not receiving. their pa pers, that we are compelled, in justice to ourse ves, to say thefiII/t is not with us. In several instances, lately, where persons have come to our oflice with the usual " what's the matter we have not got our Banner this week," they have been taken to the Post oflice and had it provcd to their satisfaction, that the Banner had been mailed for them 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 theni, it is becauso some Post-Master, through whose hands it has to pass, neglects to 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 ftiends fitil to get their paper hereafter, they will notify us of it and we promise to use every exertion to let, the ldame rest where it should, and to remedy the evil. We charge no paeticular individual we wish it un. derstood, with neglect of duty, but we speak in justice to ourselves and must be excused in saying we are deterin ined, if possible, to have justice done to ourselves. Southera Qauarterly Re-d ViCw. We have neglected, through ;nna. vertance to notice until now the Oc tober of the Southern Quarterly Review, which was received in due course. The Review is now Iublished in Columbia and sustains a r'epu tat ion secoend to no similar publication in the United States. In recommending it to the warm and hearty support of our readers, we consider ourselves only performing a duty, which we owe to Southern interests. T1he following are the contents of the presenit number: I. On the unity of the Iluman Race. 2. East Florida: her Lands and Agricultural Productions. 3. Marriage and Divorce, 4. Essay on American Society, as seen through Southern Spectaelos, 5. Political Elemnn. 6. The Respects and Policy of the Southi. 7. Petrarch's Lanea. 8. Political Philosophy of South 9. Northern Periodicals versus the South. 10 Critical ntot ices. Every WIord T1reuc. We clip the following from an cx. change anmd pronounce every word true. We arc a poorly paid class of the comn. umunity and it is impssible for News paper pumblishers to keep up at the present rates of subscription unless by increased anmbersa and large aw'rtis. ig b~usiness. The Editors of the~ Ncw York Tri. bune amnd Sun, redutced some time since. the size of their respective pa. pers, in consequence of the increased expecnses incurred in their publication, the rise ii paper, wages, rents, muel, and provisionls: and now, we notice that. the pruoprietors of four daily jour. nals of Cincinnati, have agreed, not to a reduction in size, but what is equiva lent thereto, to an advance in the price of their papers. As has been well re. marked, the publication of newspapers is less profitable than any other busi ness requtirinlg a similar outlay of cap. ital, talent, anid labor; and a v'ery er roneouis idlea seenms to prevail, that while there may be an advance in thme prosecution of every department of business, that time publication of news pers is not to be etlfected likewise; but that their h west rate of cheapne~.e is yet to be reached; whether the expen. ses are doubled or quadrupled. We do not say that the price of papers should fluctuate as with the turn of the market; but wo do say, that when the expenses are increased fifty or thirty per cent, that otn advance on the rates should be demanded by publish. erB, and cheerfully submi.,ed to by tha nublie News of the Week.
