attribute the dreadful calamity which has
overwhelmed myself and officers with the
deepest and most painful feelings, the
destruction Of our noble ship.

No breezy lawns no cool meandsring streams,

an insurrection was prepared for the

TO Sicily, and has taken to fortify Messina

from 76--of which the Democrats have
carried 4s, and gained IL, and the wings
2s, and gained 6-making the democrat
iC strength relatively better than at the
last fall elections, when we swept the
State with a new broom. This result is
the more gratifying because the Fsder-
alis,s have strained every nerve 10 carry
amajority Of the towns, in order to cheer
up their brsthern in the other States
but the result proves that the Dem.
