Incidents of the Meeting at Raymond.
As Judge Johnston was about to com
mence his address 10 tho meeting, Mr..
I. j. Wharton enquired Of the chairman,
If those opposed to the objects Of the
meeting would be allowed to participate
in the proceedings-to discuss and vote
on the resolutions that might BE- present
ed. This question was more c~reditable
to the gentleman's chiUazry than to his
modesty. The President replied, that
as the privilege of free discussion had
not been rendered by the Nashville con-
ventionists at their Ratification meeting
on the Cd, but they had deIiberated among
themselves without molestation, the I'm.
ion party wished to do the same, without
interference. He remarked, however,
that If the gentleman and his friends
desired discussion, he presumed they
could be accommodated on a proper &C.
%casioa. -
In the course Of his speech at Ray
mond, Chas. Scott. Esqi, paid a beautiful
tribute to the patriotism OF Cass, Clay,
Webster and Foote, as manifested by
their late course in the Senate. In re.
Spouse to his a%lIusion to Gen, Foote, the
meeting greeted him with a round of
heavy applause. 1t will doubtless be
gratifying to Gen. Foote to know, that
although he has been assailed by many
for his adhesion to the Union, his course
meets with the hearty appreciation Of a
very large proportion (f not a Majority
Of the people of Mississippi, and that
they are ready to greet him on his re-
turn with the heart-cheering welcome
of we'll done, thou good and faithful
servant !"
One of the most eloquent and effective
speeches made or this occasion, was by
Gen. Greaves, a Democrat. From the
fact of his politics being democratic, and
the further fact that he had not previ.
ously given any public expression 10
his sentiments, the many fine points in
his speech were applauded to the echo
in theatrical parlance, he " brought down
the house at every period. We no.
ticed some "36 80 or fight" mon who
looked quite chap fallen at the effect
produced upon the meeting by such
noble sentiments so boldly and honestly
avowed. After he had concluded. we
overheard the following dialogue be.
tween q young gentleman and an old
one--boih Democrats, we supposed.
We'll, what do you think Of Greayes.
no'o?" said the former.
"Why, | think he made a frst.rate
speech" replied the latter.
Well ! doat-I have always been
for Greaves, heretofore, but now I am
against him, and against eUery body that's
for him."

The loss Of valuable life on board the ill., IA ted
Elizabeth gives sad interest 20 the incidents CON
nected with the shpwrcck.
Captain Hasty died eight days after leaving Leg
horn Of the smallpox, and his remains were com
mitted 10 the deep off Gibraltar Count Ossoli' =
many days his life dcsparcd Of but he was
bright and well on his arrival upon our coast
The vessel reached our coast on Thursday night
after a voyage of month, and all were in glad cx
pectaton of landing on the morrow, and had pre-
pared Themselves accordingly
MIR. Bangs, the mate, took soundinqs at half past
two O'Clock, and found twenty one fathoms Of wa.
ter. He declared all safe, and went 10 bed In
one hour the vessel was aground, and struck with
great violence. Though a brig Of only five years
old. and 53l tons, the waves, which were sweed
by the gale made a complete breach over the ship.
The passengers, however, remained a while ON
board in safety, but the boats we're torn away and
broken. The crew and passengers were for a time
separated from each other, and the last were in the
after part of the ship while the sailors were in the
forecastle.
The child Of Margaret ossoh was carried for.
ward in bag tied around a sailors neck the
mother going before and nearly losing her life by
the waves Here the women we're urged TO try
first the experiment of taking each plank, and
committing themselves to the waves Margaret
refused 10 be separated from husband or child.
She was willing To live or die with them but not to
live without them, Mrs. Hasty tried the plank {.
and reached the shore utterly exhausted. She
landed three fourths of mile distant, owing to the
current. The last who came ashore reported that
the child had been washed away from the man " he
held IL, before the ship broke up; that Qsso had In
like manner, been washed from the foremast tc
which he was clinging; but in the horror of the
moment, Margaret never learned that tbose she a.
clung TO dead. Those who remained of tho
crew had persuaded her TO trust herself to a plank
