on Tuesday last, while passing under bridge near
the Seneca river, large lot of freight in boxes on
the deck struck the ties, and the packet being
under strong Roadway, they were pushed TO the
stern of the boat, forcing overheard lady and
gentleman who convcrsing at the time direct
Iy behind them. Captain Luther in the cabin
writing but on hearing the alarm rushed on deck,
and seeing the drowning persons, who could not
swim, struggling in the water, jumped into the
river TO rescue them But the current being very
strong, they by this time had been carried some
distance down the stream, and the water being
very cold he became almost benumbed. AT his SO

he caught the lady and dragged her to shore life

sprang in, swan nearly across the river, and res

tration. We do not believe that the rank
and file of the Opposition are animated
by the same passions which sway their or
gans. We have an abiding faith that many
of them will not condemn to the "btter
end," OF follow the headlong lead of those
who have enlisted for the war reckless OF
what the future may bring forth. Upon
the great Republican Wing party the Ad-
ministration may lean with confidence ;
and the ranks of its friends will swell with
the development Of its policy The Pre-
sident has seen darker and drearier days
than are before him. Ii was never his
fortune yet to win easy victories. His
has been no holiday career. He is equal
to the gloomiest crisis. His course lies
straight before him. The interests of the
nation and the happiness of the people
are the goal of his exertions-of nation
whose annals are brilliant with the glory
of his deeds, and people whose hearth
stones he has defended when many of
them were yet in the helplessness of in
fancy.
