THE MADISONIAN.

We understand that the malignant and false
rumor, that the Madisonian would, ultimately,
be discontinued, which originated among the
Clay offce-holders in this city, when Mess,s.
Clay, Mangum, and Bolts contrived to deprive
us of the Executive printing, has been revived,
and extensively circulated by our enemies. We
have been surprised and mortified to receive let
tiers from distant States asking us if there was
any truth in the rumor
We beg to remark, once for all, that the re.
sources of the Madsonian are now more ample
than ever they have been since its establish
ment; and that under the next Administration
its means and facilities wM be stH farther
Increased We beg our editorial brethren,
who may have heard any such rumor as we
have indicated above, to aid US in putting an
end to it.

OF the Navy Yard, Pensacola, oeiober ~, isti.
SIR. The painful circumstance OF The cspsiSne
of one Of the boats Of this ship, BY which Lsu,enani
Ferdinand Piper, Professor William =. fox, aud six
Of the crew.. las per msrgInl including two boys,
were drowned, compels me 10 make the following
statement:
At meridian yesterday, Lieutenant Piper let This
ship in the first cutter. with Of eleven men
for the City of Pensacola, to obtain supply Of mess
stores, accompanied by Mr.. Fox and Mdshipman L.
c. Harris, in charge Of the boat; when, about mid
way, sudden flaw Of wind struck the boat, aud be-
fore sail could be shortened she wen, over All on
board, encouraged by the good conduct Of Lieutenant
Piper succeeded In securing hold Of Il! boat which
fortunately oated, and strong hopes entertain
ed that she might be bailed out, and all would be
well-but their endeavors were frustrated by heavy
sea which bafled all exertions.
The survivors continued drift about the Bay till
eight o'clock at night when, proydentialy, small
sail from st. Rosas Sound, bound for Pensacola,
passing near the sufferers and being seen, went along
side and rescued those that yet remained, with the
exception of one who was so. much exhausted that
when the rope was thrown to him he had not strength
10 hold on and persisted in the effort.
BY this affecting dispensation the service has lost
ia Lieutenant Piper one largely endowed with all
those attributes that 80 to make up the good officer,
and his associates all that render dear to his
fellow man. His generosity and manly heart shone
conspicuously under his last trying circumstances for
his greatest efforts and anxiety seemed only for those
around him. cheering all with prospects of relief and
hope of assistance.
MIR. Fox was young and amiable, and the main
support of an aged parent.
Midshipman Harris (son of the Chief of the Bureau
of Medicine and Surgery showed great fortitude
and endurance, and set most praisewortby example
after the death Of Mr.. Piper
Nor can withhold that CONNIE ndation that is Just
ly due to George Gray, CoIswain of the Cutter, who
t,Des succeeded in rescuing MIR. Piper when he lost
his hold of the boat
The men, for their good conduct on this and all
other occasions, may be considered loss to the
Navy.
On looking round for Of censure in this sad
affair, can see none. Lieutenant Piper steered the
boat himself, and it only be looked on as one of
those incidents necessarily connected with pro-
fessioD, and from which 1t would no foresight
can at times exempt those connected with it.
The Gutter we have since recovered, and every
exertion has been made to find the bodies but as yet
without success
