Two lives preserved by child twelve
Years old.

On Monday afternoon, Sept. l., party OF ladies'
consisting Of Mrs James Cakes Of this city, her
two sisters, Mrs. Knapp, of Newbuyport, and Mrs
Mosely Of Boston, and Mrs. O.'s daughter, Miss
Garafelia Cakes, who will be IL years old in De-
cember,-went from Newburyport to Plum Island
to battle. They all came out of the water except
Mrs Mosely, and went a short distance upon the
beach TO dress. While they were dressing, Mrs. r.
N. Berry, Of this city, who was also upon the
beach, heard Mrs. Mosely scream "Save me save
me p Mrs. Berry called to Mrs. Knapp, and told
her that her sister was drowning Mrs. Knapp.
with natural impulse, rushed into the water to
save her sister, but Immediately found herself be-
yond her depth, and called upon Mrs. Berry to save
her, Mrs. B. was in full dress, not having been in
to battle, but she waded in up to her neck, and
reaching out, seized part of Mrs Knapps cloth
ing and drew her shore. BY this time Mrs
Cakes heard the screaming, and seeing her sister
Mrs. Mosely houndering in the water, pushed out
to attempt her rescue; but she, too soon found
herself sinking, and in her turn cried out to her
daughter "Garafelia save me save your mother y
Mrs Berry saw that both ladies must inevitably
drown without prompt succor, and with great pres
ence Of mind, she advised Garafelia TO put on her
life preseryer and save her mother. Quicker than
lightning, Ito Mrs. Berrys words) the heroic
girl had on her preseryer, plunged in, swan to the
spot where her mother sinking, seized her by
the hair of her head which was all that was above
water and dragged her to Mrs. Berry, who had wa
ded in to receive her and together they laid her
upon the beach, perfectly insensbe, and with eve
ny appearance of a drowned person. But Mrs.
Beny's selfpossession had not deserted her, and
she mplored Garafelia now to leave her mother and
rescue her aunt. Mrs Mosely, who had already
sunk As she rose, Garalelia swan towards her,
calling out, keep up, Aunty keep up Pm com
ing; I've saved mother, and will you p and
with these words she reached the drowning woman,
and drew her also on shore, unconscious of ALL
DIR. Atkinson, of Ncwburypoit who happened to
be upon the island, was soon at hand, and assisted
in restoring animation to the two ladies who had
been in such imminent danger. He said that nei-
ther of them could have lived two minutes longer
in the water. Mrs Atkinson, Mr. Thompson, the
hotel keeper, and his family, and Mr.. and Mrs. j.
NJ. Titcomb were also extremely kind to the dis
tressed party
1t appears that Mrs Mosey was seized by cramp,
lost her selEcontrol, and was drawn by the current
into water 10 or Is feet in depth The GOODNESS of
of Mrs. Berry and the admirable courage and
quickness of Miss Cakes, prevented catastrophe
that would have been affective beyond description.

Latest from Corpus Christi--Arriyal Of
the Alabama--NO Fighting yet--IIealth Of
the Trnnns &c

By the arrival yesterday morning Of the steamship
Alabama Wndle, from Aransas Bay, we have intelli-
gence from Corpus Christi up 10 Wednesday evening
last One ofthe editors OF the Pienyune passen-
ger in the Alabama, and brings the latest news.
The most important intelligence, perhaps, is the
REORGANIZATION of the many late exciting reports rel
alive TO the movements ofthe Mexican army, and the
probability of an engagement between the forces under
Gen. Taylor and the Mexicans. So far there is no
prospect Of fight Gen. Taylor himself does not an-
ticpate such event.
Gen. Arista is at Matnmoras with about 1000 men,
entenchng HIMSELF and knows Of Gen. Taylor's posi-
ton Ii is believed that il Arisa had marched nj once
upon Gen. Taylor when the latter first landed he
might easily have overcome him, and so on with other
attachments they continued to arrive; but il is now
too late. Our army at Corpus Christi this time
numbers some 1000 strong, and is now in q condition
10 resist four FIVE times that number Of Mexcans-
The country, too, between the Rio Grandc and Cor
pus Christi, cannot now support an army in attack
one of the principal impediments being a scarcity of
water, of which there is little or at oil.
On Sunday, the Gath inst, the Alabama anchored
off ST. Joseph's Island, in 53 hours from the Balize,
with the troops and volunteers from this city On the
passage there little rough weather, with consid-
cradle thunder and lightning, but no accident
red, and all arrived in good condition.
The next morning all the troops landed and went in
TO camp on St. Joseph's On Tuesday the volunteers,
Major Galy's and Capt Fono's companies of artillery,
embarked for Corpus Christi, IS miles distant on
board the steamboat Dayton, and joined Gen. Taylor's
encampment tho evening.
When the Alabama left Aransas Bay, the U. S.
troops the Island preparing TO start for Corpus
Christi, and probably by this time they have all been
removed, except few TO protect the stores, &c.
The Monmouth and Dayton, however were busy in
transporting the stores, and every thing will be
removed.
The brig " lillian Ivy, which was chartered in this
city time since, TO take two companies Of the 9TH
Infantry to Arkansas Bay arrived the Gath inst Just
before the Alabama. On her passage she encountered
a squat which knocked her on her beam end, but she
fortunately Tighted in few minutes without damage.

The State Election.

The Tertium Guilds aud the liberal ticket
which was organized in some parts Of the State
have probably prevented a choice Of Governor, &c,
by the people The Wings and patent democrats
stand relatively about the same as last year Both
have less votes-but we think both have lost about
the same per cent The third party have gained
generally, though they have lost in many parts of
the State.
TIM LEGIsLATURE will be strongly Wing. The
Wings will have something like 40 or so majority
in the Representative branch and in the Senate
they will have two-thirds Of the Misunderstanding
gained two in CALEDONIA, and one in Grand Isle,
| and lost none.
Had there been a full vote, the Wing ticket
would probably have been elected by the people
We have no reason to complain-the bright
Wing star of the Green Mountains still shines and
we trust il is destined to continue shining in oil its
moral beauty, for many years to come. II would
be dark day, indeed, whenever Dor and Ryn-
ders democracy should triumph in the free aud truly
Democratic State Of Vermont.

tETs Popular Lectures Science and Art, by DR..
Ladner. These truly valuable Lectures continue TO
be issued by Greeley & McElrath, New York. They
are neatly printed and done up in pamphlet form,
each number, part, containing about eighty pages.
The price of each number is twenty-five CENTS. We
have received all the numbers published (nine) except
the 9Th, which we very sorry 10 lose. We con-
slider these Lectures worth all the works Of fiction that
have been published in this country for the last FIVE
years. We hope the American public will show their
good taste and sound sense by giving them liberal
circulation and extensive reading.

o. The KNIcKERBocKER for September has
been received. We have been pretty constant
reader Of this New York Magazine for abou, nine
years, and we do not hesitate to pronounce it The
most entertaining Monthly in the United States, with
which we are acquainted. The present number is
one Of the best we have ever read. There are in
the September issue twenty original articles by
contributors, several literary notices, and the Edit
or's Table, which alone in the course of the year
well pays the reader for the money paid for the
whole work "a visit to Belgrade" "The Dead
Mans Sermon" and Fleeing a LAWYER" are
among the most interesting articles. If our friends
will procure the Knickerbocker. and read it for
themselves, they will then know whether we are
merely putting to Order" or whether speak the
simple truth, in seriousness, We are willing to
stake our reputation in recommending this work

ranked among the best Medical Journals in Great
Britain. 1t is some time since we have seen il reg
