REBECCA LAMAR,

An atfec ting incident relative to this lady, who ,
it will be remembered was one of the female
vivors of the ill-starred passengers board the
Pulaski, has Just come TO our nowlcdge. Miss
Lamar, says gentleman from Charleston whose
life was saved on the same portion OF the wreck,
guardian angel, cheering the Responding,
aleyialng the SORROWS OF those who had seen
the of the ocean close their nearest
and dearest relatives, and administering hope
and consolation even to the veteran sailor, to whom
scenes of terror and dismay had long been faniI-
lar. So great III fine, the confidence she
inspired in the heart of every member of our un-
fortunate band, that those whose fate i, was never
to reach the shore alive, when they felt their hour
approaching, requested as favor, that they might
be allowed to rest their heads upon her lap and
breathe out their diving moments with all the con-
ISOLATION she was capable of affording. And thus
all those who were unable to survive the horrors
Of that awful hour; with their last looks turned
towards her who had never aua;Ied or blanched
beneath the terrors of the scene, although the
stoutest hearts had failed, and the boldest trem-
bled in anticipation of their fate.
How do the glories of Catharine, "A Semari-
mis-, or Margaret de Valdemar, pale before the
vitues of such woman. Let those vino bear
the name of Lamar, henceforth cherish it more
proudly, than if 1t conferred wealth, power,
nobility upon the possessor-[ Boston Times.
