vEHY LATE FROM CHAxLssros.--By the steam
packet Columbia Capt Wright seventy-two hours
from Charleston, arrived last evening we inform
ed that number of the surviving passengers of the
steamer Home arrived in Charleston in the steamer
Boston from Wilmington N. G. on Thursday last
The following, from the Charleston Courier contains
the emily detail of interest =
| AT eleven o'clock at night, the Home grounded,
about 100 yards from the shore. The ladies had all
been requested to go forward, as the place where
they were more likely to reach the shore, being
nearest the beach, but heavy sea struck her
there, and swept nearly one half of them IN
to the sea- and they were drowned One boat
was stove at this time. Another small boat was
launched with two or three persons in H. but cansz-
ed. The long boat was then put overheard, filled
with persons rs IN number it is supposed, but did not
get Is feet from the side of the steamer before she
upset, and it is the belief of informant that not
of the individuals in her reached the shore.
The sea was breaking over the boat at this time
with tremendous force, and pieces of her breaking
oil at times and floating towards the shore, on some
of which persons were cllnging. One lady, with
child in her arms, in the act of mounting the stairs
TO the upper deck, when the smoke stock fell, and
doubtless killed her and her child on the spot.
OOnle lew Vi the iduts were ldoUeu W uoul-
Mrs. Schroeder was confined in this manner TO
one of the braces of the boat and another lady was
tied to the same piece of timber. Mr.. Vandezee was
standing near them, when the latter lady slipped
along the brace that the water broke over her.
Mr. " seized her by the clothes and held her up for
some time and made every exerllon that was posi-
BILE release her, but failed She herself endeavored
to unloose the rope, but unable 10 do SO, and
shortly afterwards the brace broke Oft from the boat
and went towards the shore, Mrs. Schroeder still
fastened to il, while her unfortunate companion slip
ped off and was lost Mrs. S. after striking the
beach, with great presence of mind drew the tim Der
up on the beach far as to prevent it from being
washed away by the waves, and was thus saved.
The hull of the boat broke into three pieces, and
the shore was completely sirewed with portions Of
the wreck, luggage &c. for five or six miles in ex-
tent, the next morning.
Captain White, with six or seven other PERSONS
chung to piece of the forward part Of the boat, and
reached the beach in safety. Mrs. Lacoste foated
ashore nearly exhausted and had she not been taken
up would most probably have persisted.
Mr.. Vanderzee was not the person who was saved
by the life preserver but saved himself by swimming,
and nearly drowned before he reached the island,
in encounering portion of the wreck Of considera
BILE length, which he wa obliged 10 climb over. Mr..
II. Anderson was the gentleman who wore the pre-
server and doubtless entirely indebted 10 II for
his preservation, as he was utterly unable to SWIM
Ii was fixed under his arms, and every that struck
him. whlried him over once or twice but immediate
ly came "heads up" and is fortunately, a. living evil
dence of the usefulness of this invaluable INVENTION
with which every person who goes 10 sea should pro
vide themselves.
Mr. Lovegreen was on the upper deck, and tolled
the bell of the boat until almost every had left her.
