New YoRK WEEKLY WHiG.-We have re-
ceived the first number Of this journal, and re-
gardng il as such paper as may probably meet
the wishes of many of our readers, we present
its prospectus in our advertising columns. From
the Judgment we have formed Of it from the first
number, as well as from the prospectus, we hail
it as a most important and promising auxiliary
TO the cause Of Wing principles. The prospec
tus promises rich treat, aud from the sample
we have seen, we cannot but anticipate that the
promise vii be creditably redeemed.
Ma WIsE.-The evidence Of Mr. Wise, be-
fore the Committee appointed by Congress, to
nvestigate the causes that led TO the late duel,
is in our columns TO day. The part taken by
Mr.. w. in that unfortunate affair, has drawn
upon him the aninadyersions OF the ignorant
aud rejudced. He has been stigmatized by a
partizan press, as the blood thirsty destroyer Of
MIR, Cilley, and every epithet that party ma
lignit, could invent, has been applied to him,
by those who wish 10 turn the death of their fel.
low partizan, Ito them Unexpectedly to polti.
cal advantage. Those who are thus ende-vor-
ing to jure Mr. W., are very careful to keep
out OF view, any extenuating circumstances that
may come TO their knowledge, or to mould and
fashion them TO the end they have in view. To
counterfeit impressions thus created, we have
this day spread Mr.. Wise's own account of the
affair, before our readers, that they may have the
opportunity Of Judging whether no he can just
ly be charged with having been engaged in the
late duel from other than motives Of friends ship
to Mr.. Graves. Mr.. Wise is noble minded
and generous man, and is incapable, we verify
believe, Of stepping so far from the course of a
gentleman, as TO carry challenge for y man.
merely because he was politically opposed TO
the challenged party. Public opinion, howev
ever in this part Of the country, is getting right
with regard TO the matter, and, however much
it was, at the frs, blush, disposed to attribute
the fatal termination of the duel any efforts of
Mr.. Wise. it now very justly considers Mr.
Ciliey's death, as hav ing been brought about by
his own double dealing with Mr.. Graves, and
his own choice of a weapon which he had salts.

that Mr.. Graves did not hold Mr.. Gil

point Of their controversy when the
plea ofMr. Cilley's privilege of debate
would not have been held sacred and
sufficient by Mr.. Graves and his

table in defence only Of his own vera
city, and Of the honor OF one for whom
he had Undertaken to vouch as a gen.

Such are the more prominent causes
known to me which made this duel
bloody, which made Mr.. Graves insist

Buffalo Commercial Advertiser. When
this paper first appeared as a daily sheet
on a very small scale, some years ago, we
predicted that ere long that establishment
would be under the necessity of running a
power press to supply the wants ofthe bust
ness Of that city--we stated this ut the time
from the knowledge we had of the adyan-
tages to be derived from these presses in
cases where quick despatch in the business
was necessary, and believing that Buffalo
would soon demand such facilities. We
now learn that paper is supplied with a
power press, which is in full operation, and
competent to strife Of one thousand sheets
IN an hour.

having spent some years in the same es-
adjustment, obtaining an honest livelihood

From the Charleston Patriot of June "a.


The Rev. Mr.. hurry, of Edis.o, who had
been dashed TO part Of the bow of the Pu-
laski, was washed off soon after the mis-
fortune occurred, and Mr.. Hugh S. Ball
was lost in endeavoring TO swim from the
bow to the stern of the boat, to his lady,
whom he perceived in that part of the stea.
mer.
The party of thirty saved on those por-
tons of the wreck, and taken OF by the
Rober: Cameron, it will be perceived were
four days exposed to the weather, violent
gale Of wind blowing from Sunday morn.
ing to the evening of tho same day, with
nothing to subsst on, as we have been in.
formed by one of them, but little flour and
water.
Of the whole number of passengers and
crew, one hundred and seventy, it will be
rccollected that sirleen were rescued in the
two small boats which reached Wilmington
last Sunday. The entire number saved,
so far as asccrtaincd, is, therefore, fly
nine. .s 49, tn .et
We feel warranted, from all the circsm-
stances in expressing some ground of hope
that portion of the passengers and crow
who occupied the stern Of the Pulaski, just
after the explosion occurred, have been
saved. .-,.-
1t will be recollectcd that the captain Of
the schooner Active, arrived here yester-
day from New York, stated, that he en-.
countered on the 10Th inst, last Tuesday,
what he supposed TO be "a part of the after
cabin" of the Pulaski. 1t is reasonable,
therefore, TO conclude, that at least some
portion, if not nearly the whole of the pas
sengers who resorted TO the stern of the P.
for safety, were taken off by some of the
numerous vessels going from Southern to
Northern ports, in the period which elaps-
ed from time Of the explosion on Thursday
night last to the subsequent Tuesday, when
the schr. Active met with this part Of the
| steamer.
A large portion Of the promenade deck
of the Pulaski was attached TO the after cab.
in, and around the promenade deck there
was rail three feet high, to which the pas
sengers could cling or support themselves,
without the risk of being washed of. In the
period that elapsed from the explosion to
the temporary submersion of the stern OF
the boat, there was also ample time to have
dashed all who were in this part of her,
Our conclusion from these circumstances
is, that as the whole of the passengers, with
the single exception of the Rev. Mr.. MUIR
ry, of Edisto, who were dashed to the bow
of the boat were saved; that at least,
some portion Of those who occupied the
stern have been also rescued from watery
grave. .

Alleghany river, burst one other boilers on
the night ofthe 10TH, ult. about thirty miles
below Franklin, by which two 6remen were
severely and one slightly scalded. The

WILMINGTON, June 81.

The North Carolina went out yesterday
as soon as she could get ready. after her

some of the wreck, but no living soul. The
pilot boats arc all out in pursuit. The brig
Hibernian arrived this morning, and reports
having fallen in with the stern of the Pulas.

had the greatest number on ii, therefore it
is highly probable that it has been fallen in

say it was yesterday; but water boat has

get all they can. The weather is fine.

IncendiariSm- Sunday morning, the
railroad bridge across the river Rouge, on
the central road, was discovered to be on
fire, and before the flames could be extin-
guishcd considerable portion of the work
was destroyed, not so much, however, as to
prevent all communication. The train
which left this city on Sunday morning
passed safely over the passengers walking.
1t is clearly tho work of incendiaries, and
taken in connection with the otherrecento OBJ
struction of the road, would seem to indi-
cate a settled design somewhere to destroy
the works. No pains or expense should
be spared by the commissioners to ferret
out the authors of this cold blooded villainy
and TO visit upon their heads the most sum-
mary and condign punishment of the law.
