INCIDENTS OF THE WRECK

LIEUT.. MAYNARD OF THE NAvy-In the Newark Daily we find this letter from Lieut.. Maynard detailing the heroic con duct of Dr. Hassler, who unfortunately was one of the victims of the wreck.
 My Dear Sir-l have observed that in not one of the papers, giving an account of the wreck of the Atlantic, has the name fDr. Hassler received passing notice for his noble and disinterested efforts to assist the women and children.-He thought not of himself until they were all provided with floats and life preseryers, and placed in a position to be the more readily alter ded to when the vessel struck: for you must know that we counted fully on her striking some 20 or 40 yards from shore, where there was a stiff, muddy bottom m which case there would have been ample time 10 provide for them all, and the floats would have been of great assistance. But his noble heart stopped not here: for there was a child and q little boy, whose parents were too feeble 10 take care of them One only had been provided for, and the other he would
 
 advise to the contrary, as considered him too weak and feeble for the task, and ho would only have involved them both in a common ruin. He then went, at my request, in search of some more TO- bust person, for l thought that had seen among the passengers one or two gentle. men who had the appearance of sea- faring men. and felt assured that no ttuehearted tar wonld hesitate a moment to undertake the task
 l believe that Ispoke to you about the conduct of William Edwards, who behaved so well afle: the vessel had struck on the rocks"
 Dr. Hassler graduated at Rutgers Col lege in New Brunswick. He was abont 40 years of age and has left wife, n widowed mother, and four children to mourn his loss.
 On arriving at Boston from his three years cruise, he notified his wife (for. merly Miss Nourse of Washington ,ha, he would be with them on Thanksgiving Day.

only Of his risdom but Of his knowledge Of public

paper Of Sept H. instant
"Thcre are two members Of the Senate absent in

H. Barbour, Of Bartholomew and Jennings, aud Bril-
gadier General Lane Of Vanderburgh. Should the

Now it 80 happens that Brigader General LANE

On the first Monday Of August last, the vacancy
was filed by the election of DR.. w. H. SrocKwELL

pIishments, and against whom the Wings dared make
no opposition though claiming clear majority in the
county Of Yanderburgh Of between 100 and geo. DR..
Slockwell is Democrat and in point Of talents pro-
badly has not a superior in the Senatorial body. So
much for the Americans statements concerning this

most intelligent Wing editors of Indiana to make !
