At Florence, we understand, there are
some p more Of the passengers who were
saved from the wreck, several of whom are
dangerously burned, and nearly all entire
ly destilu'e, being members Of poor families.
We learned the names of the following:
Joseph Yorty and wife, John Yorty, wife,
and three Children-two of the children very
badly burnt, and not expected to live; young
man named Bumgardner dangerously wound
ed family of SIX persons-names are not
known.
Two ofthe children of a Mr.. Breet, were
saved, and are in charge of Mr.. Ndigh.-
The whole family was reported lost. Three
Of the children Of MIR. Funk were very badly
burned.
Among th7se missing and supposed to be
drowned, are family by the name Of De
wee, seven in number-Amos Yordy, Jere-
miah Bumgarden and Joseph Kelar; also
two families whose names were not recolIect-
ed.
The great portion Of the deck passengers
were from Lancaster and Dauphin counties
Pennsylvania, and were emigrating TO Iowa.
1t appears that the family OF MIR. Wing re-
ported lost, was saved, as we see his name
enumerated among those brought down by
the Diadem.
Mr.. Woods, who was saved. together with
his wife and seven children, refused all pecu-
mary aid. though he had lost everything. He
said he was eal,hy and able bodied had been
so fortunate as to save his entire family-was
happy and conlented. He wanted nothing
more.

The state.

We have at length the fill Official
Vote of each County for State Officers, as
returned by the Canvassers of the several
Counties to those of the State. WASHING
TON HURTS exact majority for Governor
is tloo hundred and .ftly-eight, which the
State Canvass cannot vary a dozen votes.
Church has 1914 for Lieut.. Governor,
(having received the Hunker, Barnburner,
Anti-Rent and most of the Abolition votes)
while Mather for Canal Commissioner has
l,056. He is the only man elected by the
Castle Garden Union movement. Ben
ton for Clerk of the Court of Appeals and
Angel for State Prison Inspector (being on
the Anti-Rent Ticket have also consider
able majorities.
The inference will be readily drawn from
this that the State is against the Wings,
and that the election of Mr.. Hunt is an ac-
cident But in opposition to this we have
the fact that onthe Congress tickets through
out the State the Wing majority exceeds
Six Thousand, while it is as large or larger
on the Legislative tickets. These are Po-
litical stations, which those of Clerk of APP
peals and Prison Inspector properly are not.
While it is probably true, therefore, that
all the other parties in the State combined
could overmatch the Wings it is clear that
they cherish views so diverse, so hostile,
that they cannot unite in acting to any dis
tinct and definite Political end. This diff
ficulty will increase as another Presidential
Election approaches The Wings were
never more distracted than this year, and
especially on the Congressional tickets. In
the Monroe, Erie, Chautauque, Oswego and
ST. Lawrence Districts, our candidates ran
far behind the Wing strength; our adyer-
saries had the benefit of the Anti-Rent
nomination in the Columbia and Rensse-
laer, we in the Albany and Delaware Dis
tricts. We consider the Congress vote a
fair test of party strength upon distinct
party issue. Here are the full votes for
Governor, &c.
