SAMUEL IL. LEWIS, Esq. Of Rocking
ingham, has been elected Brigadier Gen.
erai Of the 9Th Brigade. to supply the va
cancy occasioned by the promotion Of
Gen. B. G. BALDWIN. Col. LEWIS was
the senior Colonel in commission in the
Brigade. His competitor was Mr.. AL.
ExANDER r. OWENS. Of Augusta, gem
tieman who not only holds no commits,
sion in the military service, but who no.
toriously has lost all relish for it. and
who was brought forward mainly on party
grounds. The result, therefore, reflects
credit on that portion OF the dominant
party in the Legislature who showed
themselves superior to such petty cousid
eratione.

AMONG THE SHIP
PING.

Great distress continues among the
shipping of the Northern ports. We
could fill two or three columns with har.
rowing details on this subject. 1t is in
deed on awful reflection to think of the
painful and desperate condition of the
poor mariner in such trying scenes. 1t
is impossible to imagine the intensity OF
suffering they experience: The fine
spray transformed into frost as it is las ed
from the waves-the canvass stif1y fro
Zen, and the deck all covered with ice
at such time, the vessel disabled-con-
tinual currents of ice cutting its sides.
and every moment leaving it less able TO
stand out.-then hurried by the pressure
out OF the channel, and forced upon the
shore, leaving the poor seamen aud pas.
sengers scarcely an alternative but to per-
Ish Many enshrouded in ice, give
way and expire before the cutting blast
And at such time and under such
state of the temperature, to think of the
utter neglect Of the Pilots Yesterday
we recorded another wreck near New
York. That of the Tamorac. The
want OF pilot caused her sad fate also.
The N. Z. Herald says she arrived at
Sandy Hook with a fleet of from 30 to
% square rugged vessels. Here their
difficulties commenced:
1.-The unfortunate barque Mexico, and
many others were among them. The
greater was for pilots" pilots" "pi.
lots" Where were they ?" "Wbat
could they be doing :" Guns were fired
in succession-every signal was hoist.
ed-all the vessels tried to ou.strip each
other in awakening the sleepy seutineIs
Of the port Of New York. No pilot
came. Not single rag of canvass was
to be seen. The captsin--the crew.
the passengers In the midst of the
cold--looked, gazed, and strained their
eye balls. No pilot came"
The Herald thus describes the feelings
OF the passengers of the ship Tamorac
after they had been rescued from their
periious condition

TIE SURPLUS.

A scheme has been submitted by Mr..
STUART 10 the Committee on the DISPOSE.

by their direction. proposing to invest the
money in Bank S,ocks-borrow five mil.
lions Of dollars in yearly instruments of one
million. for the purpose of Internal I'm.
provement, and apply the dividends 10 the
payment Of The interest, and the creation Of
sinking fund for the redemption of the
loan. According to Tho estimates submit.
ted, the whole debt thus contracted could he
paid in 1868. leaving a surplus OF 1886 500,
without touching the capital sum invested,
end calculating the average profits ON the
Improvements constructed, after five wears.
at but three per cent. The project contains

The whole of Mondays sitting In the
House OF Representatives was occupied
Id the consideration ofthe subject. which
consumed SO much time at the last session,
OF the mode Of treating memorials to
Congress for the abolition Of Slavery
within the District of Columbia. Az
ter good deal ofdebate and some ex-
element. the House deliberately decid-
ed to receiue the petition on which the
debate arose, and then decided without
debate or excitement. by a vote of about
three to one, to lay Il on Meta6le. The
subsequent presentation ofa memorial
OF similar character re-opened, indeed,
the debate on the question OF reception
and it was not concluded when the House
adjourned.-Nat. Int.

The New York papers express great
indignation at the conduct Of the pilots
at that place, TO whose negligence most
OF the recent marine disasters at the en-
trance ofthe barbor are attributed. The
Journal OF Commerce says, the present

combine together in idleness, and yet
secure I'll the emoluments Of industry.
