GOOD NEWS FROM THE PULASKI.
Our readers viii be not less surprised
than delighted at the news from Whining
ton. Ii is good beyond the widest hope.
In addition to the articles from the AdUer-
tiseT, we have been favored with the follow
ing particulars, communicated in a letter
to gentlemen Of this city, from which
it viii be seen that the people of Whining
ton were making every exertion to pre-
serve any who might still be floating on
fragments of the wreck.
We regret to add that of the number
thus miraculOusly preserved, there are en-
ly three belonging to our city, Mr.. G. Y.
DAVIS, Mr.. ROBERT D. WALKER, and
Master T. w. DowNIR, so far as we
have been able to ascertain. We learn
from gentleman, passenger in the N.
c., and one Of the number sa1ed, that the
following persons died on one of the RATS
or fragments Of the PuIzskt, on which
they had taken refuge:
Mrs. B. F. Smith Of Charleston.
Mr.. Rowand, do
Mrs. Stanfeld, of Savannah.
Rev. Mr.. Woart and Lady.
Dr.. Ash, of New York.
A daughter of Mr.. Robert Hutchin-
son, of Savannah.
DIR. Stewart and Master T. Lamar.
Mr.. Joseph Auze, formerly, merchant
in Savannah, and recently in Mobile. was
killed in the forward part of the Pulaski.
by the fall of the mast.
The Rev. Mr.. Murray, who had been
dashed to a part of the Pulaski. was
washed off soon after the misfortune oc-
CURED, and Mr.. Hugh s. Ball, of this
city, was lost in endeavoring 70 swim
from the bow to the stern Of the boat. to
his lady, whom he perceived in that part
Of the Steamer. n 49,

were four days exposed to the weather, and
a violent gale ofwind blowing from Sunday
morning to the evening Of the same day,
with nothing to subsist on, as we have
been informed one Of them, but a little
-four and water.
Of the whole number of passengers
and crew, one kaadred and sebentv,it will
be recollected that sixteen were rescued
in the two small boats which reached
Wilmington last Sunday. The entire
number saved, so far as ascertained is,
therefore, Gy-nine. We feel warranted,
from all the circumstances, Ia expressing
some ground Of hope that a portion Of the
passengers and crew who occupied the
stern Of the Pulaski, just afer the exblo-
sion occurred have been saved. II viii
be recollected that the Captaino Of the schr.
ActiUe, arrived here on Thursday from N.
York, stated that he encountered on the
18th inst. last Tuesday what he supposed
to be s4the after cabin" Of the P,,d1sIi,.
Il is reasonable therefore, to conclude that
