REMAINS OF THE STEAMER PRESI-
DENT.

We learn from captain Jepson, of the schr. Mo-
kina, from the Cape de Verde Islands, that the
stern boat of the i'll fated steamer President, and
also several water casks, bearing her name, had
been picked up and carried into ST. Nicholas, one
of the said islands. Capt. Jepson did not himself
see these interesting relics Gas he sailed from an
other island, Bonavista,) but was assured OF the
fact by a respectable English gentleman who had
seen them The latitude and longitude where
they were picked up, we are unable to state. The
boat, as well as the water casks, had the name
sPresident" upon it. This is the first trace which
has vet been discovered of the wreck OF that noble
steamer.
The Cape de Verbs are situated about N lat.
is. and w lon. 49, If the casks and boat were
picked up any where in that vicinity, they must
have drfted great distance from the place where
the steamer foundered which indeed was to be
expected It's generally supposed that she went
down during the gale which occurred on the second
or third day after her departure from this port.

THE USE OF THE ASSEMBLY CHAM
RER
BER,

Mr.. D. r. F. Jones, from the select committee
'tconsisting Of himself, Messrs. Humphrey and Nc
Murray to whom were referred two applications
for the use of the assembly chamber, one from the
trustees of the Methodist E. church, of the Alba
ny west staton for the purpose of the delivery of
lecture on the history of ancient Babylon, illus
trated by transparencies, the avails to be appro-
.priated in aid of the new Methodist church in
Washington street, and the other from the agent
of an association of colored citizens proprietors of
a paper called the 6 Northern Star and Freemen's
Advocate" for the purpose of holding meeting
in aid of that publication, submitted report, con-
'cluding follows:
6 That while the committee express no hostili-
'ty to the objects intended to be accomplished by
the applicants, yet from certain insurmountable
reasons, which are herein briefly stated, they feel
constrained to report adversely thereon The
committee ibelievethat the of the Assembly
chamber should never be granted for any purposes
of sectional or local character, however merlto-
,rious or unobjectonabe, and they would only
sent to its for objects of general nature, and
of state concern something in which the whole
state may be supposed to be interested, or which
may be deemed to have connection with its le-
gislation, sc. The committee in addition to these
considerations, upon enquiry, have ascertained
that the expense of lighting the Assembly chamber
amounts to about 80 or $50, and the contingent
fund from which this expense is to be supplied is
too low already to admit of further draft upon IT.
For these reasops, and the additional one that the
papers, documents &C. of members, are necessa-
rily and unavoidably thrown into state of confu-
sion, and frequently lost, occasions of the use of
the Assembly chamber, the committee had instruct
ed him to offer'' &c, the usual resolution denying
both applications

ALMOST CLEAN swEEP.-There is little place
on the East River, on the l.. |. side called White
Stone, where there are many as six or eight
grog shops, and drunkenness was, not long ago,
most sadly prevalent A few weeks since, some
of the reformed drunkard missionaries made Wis
it there and presented their case SO convincingly
that every Incorporate man in the place signed the
pledge, except two, and these, it was expected,
would be persuaded by another visit. The place
is entirely reformed. The grog shops have two
customers between them all. Six months ago, a
gentleman passed six drunken men in walking two
miles in the town, but at the recent election there
was not drunken or noisy man to be found-N

THE FREsHET.


The late freshet appears to have been yery dis
astrous along the valley of the Chenango We
learn from the Oxford Times, that so sudden and
unexpected was the rise, that whole focks ofsheep
were carried away by the current. We have
heard of one or two instances where cows and
other stock were swept off by the current, before
they could be rescued. We are informed that
factory belonging to Mr.. Wilcox, situated four or
five miles. below this village, was turned over and
the machinery destroyed. Loss estimated at Sl,
900. We understand that much damage was done
to the premises known as Van Wagener's mills,
situated about three miles northeast of the village.
Loss estimated at 900.
The canal III this section has been considerably
injured, to what extent, however, we can form no
estimate.
The bridge across the Unadlla river at Mt. Up
ton, has been rendered impossible, in consequences
of portion of it being carried away the bridges
of South Bainbridge and Nineveh, across the
Susquehannah, and also the one over the Chenan-
90 at the forks, have been swept away. We hear
also that the food has been tremendous at Bing-
hampton, Owego, and through all that section OF
the country
At Canajoharie, as we learn by the Radii, on
Friday morning the buildings attached to the dis
tillery were washed away, with four or five hun
dred hogs, which were taken down the stream
miller by the name of WiIky, went among the
ice to procure wood, when the water came IN such
a torrent that he was swept away in the mass, in
full view of his agonized family.
At Rochester the freshet was very heavy. The
water continued to rise during the whole of Sun-
day. The Post of Monday says:
2 o'clock P. M The river is steadily rising
vet, and unless the flood is checked very soon, We
fear there may be serious trouble with US at Ro-
chester.
AT Nunda, Allegany co. the bridge on State st.
south of the village is almost entirely swept away
A shanty occupied by two families of Irish, few
rods below the BRIDGE the margin of the kish-
aqua creek, swept off, and the beds, furniture,
pork, beef and flour carried away by the force OF
the water The east end of the bridge, on Mill st.
near Ashley's tannery, was carried away.-Duiiy

[From the Total Abstinent. ]


Mr. Edtor-This is the day on which we are
accustomed to wish our friends happy new year;
but mere wishes unaccemPanied by appropriate
means or action, will not usually produce much
happiness. In this month most or all the towns
in the state will hold meetings to decide, by a
major vote of the electors present. whether wines
and spirituous liquor shall be indscriminately sold
the present year. To decide questions wisely, it
IS sometimes best to take a retrospective view OF
the past and enquire whether the same causes are
not likely to produce the same effects: and if we
shall find from facts or otherwise, that the sale of
wines and spirituous liquors at every corner, has
heretofore tended to increase pauperism, crime,
misery and DEATH would it not be well to accom-
pany our wishes to friends this year, for pros
peritv and happiness, by our acts and votes, and
to endeavor to stop the indscrlminate sale OF these
articles in our respective towns? And now, Mr..
Editor, propose to give few reasons why shall
vote aoainst it-reasons founded on facts which
have come under my own observation within the
last thirty years, amongst population OF about
two thousand. might go into particulars, and
state many things which would be appalling and
heart rending, in connection with these facts, but
| forbear.
1st. A majority Of the state and town taxes, aba
ted by the selectmen, were to the lntemperate, or
bv reasons of intemperance.
Cd A large proportion of the taxable polls aba
tod bv the assessors and board of relief on account
If " sickness, inirmity and disability" were from
the ranks of the ntemperate.
3rd. A majority of those persons who have
,ean assisted by the town paupers, were direct
II Or indirectly reduced by strong drink
18th. Persons under the influence OF ardent splr--
is have committed crimes which have carried
them to the state prison.
5th. And many more from the same cause have
committed crimes that have carried them to the
county prison.
The northern star and freemen's advocate., 1842-02-17

9th. One hundred persons have died in the place
Cor died abroad, who belonged here,) under 60
years OF age, whose death was caused or fastened
by lntemperance and was SO considered by the
public generally at the time of their decease, "A
of whom died under 5O-34 under 40, and II un-
der 80 years of age.
7th. Ten of the above came to an untimey
death by drowning, falling, or dying in the fields
Sth Thirty-sx were either themselves or their
families, expensive to the town.
9th. Twenty -four were buried at the expense
of the town.
10th. Twenty spent all their estates, thrty-two
part and the residue Except ten) had very little
if any to spend
18th. Wives and parents have been to the Sc
lectmen, and with tears entreated that something
might be done to prevent their husbands and sons
from getting ardent spirits.
10Th. In all probability, more than 100000
have been expended in this town for that which
is not bread, and that which satisfies not.
This, probably, is fair specimen of what has
occurred in most of the towns in this state for the
last thirty years And now / would ask wheth-
er we shall be permitted to experience great an
amount Of evil from this source for the next thir-
ty years, as we have the past thirty Are multi
tudes to have their taxes abated, that they may
indulge themselves in an unlawful and vicious ha-
because they have thus ruined their health? Are
our almshouses to be thronged by those who have
spent their all in the purchase and use of strong
drink Are some of our citizens under it's infu-
ence going to commit crimes, that will carry them
to the state and county prisons Are hun
dred persons more, during the next thirty years,
in one town. to be by this fell destroyer cut off in
the bloom of youth or in middle life, and brought
down by delirum tremens, drowning, falling. &c.
to premature death Are more than one third
of them to become expensive to the town. Are
the sober and industrious to continue to be taxed
for those who waste their estates and beggar their
families by their trade with the retailer in the pur
chase of strong drink F? Are wives and parents to
continue to plead with the selectmen, that some
thing may be done to prevent their friends from
getting strong drink, that deadly foe to domestic
peace and happiness? With these facts before my
eyes, as respects the past, and these fears as re-
CARDS the future, shall not give my vote this
year to license persons to continue this traffic.

DRowNED-Two men, one an Irishman by th.
name of Edwarl Lathing, and the other colored
man by the name of William Honnywill, were
drowned in Cross Pond in the town of Poundridge,
on Wednesday last They had been out fishing,
and on recrossing the pond, when about half a
mile from the shore, the ice gave way, and they
both went in. Their bodies were found the next
day. One other person, in company with them,
fortunately escaped.-Hudson River Chron.
