Brig Gorencr EndicoH-I'hp Salem Gazette
Of Thursday last says, rumor was prevalent "n
Tuesday evening, that the brig Governor Erd-
colt. OF New York, foundered in the Indian
Ocean On the l9th of last July. and that al On
board, but one of the mates and two men, had e..
nshed. We allnde to the report, without enter.
ing into particulars, merely for the purpose Of
saying, that it yet wants authorization, and
ousht not to be received as true, til il is n'es-
tigated further.
DauM " WidmS. the survivor Of the three pa.
triots who captured Major Amber. was to ap ear
on the stage of the Bowery Theatre, Ne" York.
on Saturday evening last. to relate the Par'ed
lars OF the capture. This it appears to u.s. wa,
an unseemly expedient for raising money, and
The manager should not have taken advantage"
Of the old mans good nature, or dotase, to make
such an exhibition.
From the Legislature of South Carolina VIC
