Further Particulars.

Major Heath and twenty-one others,
were rescued from portion of the wreck
Of the Pulaski, after having been up
on it four days and four nights, without
food or water. The suffering became so
intense as to produce proposition to sacri-
fee one of the party by lot, for the susie
nance and support of the rest-but was a.
bandoned TO Major Heath's firm and deter
mined opposition.
Major Heath thinks the ladies cabin
went down in mass, carrying down about
fifty ladies', most of whom, it is supposed,
had not risen from their berths.
The surviving passengers Major Heath
represents, are unanimous in charging the
Chief Engineer with having caused the
dreadful calamity.
There were -four. parts of the wreck to
which passengers clung-two of them, it is
supposed, went down-from the other two,
twenty-five were thrown overheard, having
died with fatigue and excitement.
No baggage of any kind was saved. All
the passengers had money, which was
in their trunks, and it is estimated that at
least $l50,000 in bank notes and specie
have been lost, and upwards of $4,000 in
watches and jewellry.

The railroad is washed away in Sd
