She was a foe looking vessel, barqpe rugged,
of three hundred tons borihen, and was laden
with cargo Of miscellaneous articles. This
occurred on the morning of Friday, 2lst of
May. A Tremendous iceberg struck the ship
amidships. cutting her down to the waters

The shock was fearful and The terror and
dismay of the passengers was painfully great.
Not a moment was losl 10 lowering the boats,
and placing the passengers 10 them. Two
boats. containing the captain, fourteen Of the
crew and fourteen passengers, succeeded in
getting clear of the wreck, but the third, with

who have q, least injured him. ! refer
moro particularly to his editorial on the sub
ieci Of Publishing the proceedings Of the
Wing Mass Meeting in Lancaster.
10 that article he leads his readers to the
irresistible inference. that the Wing Meeting
in question, had directed the Secretary to
furnish his paper with MSS. copy Of the
proceedings. aud that the Secretary had prom
lsed q 10 SO; but that in violation Of The or.
ders Of the meeting, as well as his promise he
did not do SO. until the concern had become
too stale The facts are ialse--lhe Wing
Mass Meeiing'did not contemplate the publ.

the meeting, to ACT as the organ OF he Wig

have dene so. unless prevented By good and

ed ilby their order requiring the Secretary TO
20 furnish The Herald only, with a coPy--re.

Bn6alo and Mississippi Railroad.
This is the name Of railroad char
tered by the legislatures Of Ohio and
Indiana, and which, when completed,
will form connecting link between
Toledo at the western extremity OF
lake Eric, and Chicago on the south
western point OF Lake Michigan. -
The whole length Of the road, accord
ing to survey, will be 232 miles, and
will run in nearly straight course
through the whole tier Of northern
counties in Ohio and Indiana, across
the neck Of the Peninsula formed by
lakes Huron and Michigan. We
have before US the report of the. engi-
necr, who surveyed the route, and
from il we learn that the whole cost
Of The road is estimated At S2,2l5,-
600 The grades present no iorml-
dable obstacles. II the reader Will
look al the map, lie cannot fell to see
that the road, whenever built, must
do an immense business. 1t would
form o channel Of communication
which would not fail to expedite lrav-
ell and business 10 and from the south
crn portions Of Iowa and Wisconsin,
northern Illinois and southern Michi-
gan and tie whole northern regions OF
Indiana end Ohio. The immense
quantities Of breadstufls seeking a mar-
kct in the Atlantic regions, and the
tide Of travel between tie cast and
west, Two sld furnish an amount of busl-
ness whose value can hardly be exag-
Grated. Soon after the Erie road
shall have been completed at Dunkirk
and we trust this important work is
not much longer 10 be delay we
shall expect 10 see continuous line OF
railroad from New York, Boston and
down cast TO Chicago, IN. Y. Tri.
