The miners' express. (Dubuque, Iowa) 1849-1854, 1852-09-01

It is q most deplorable affair and merits the
most searching investigation. From the state
of feeling at EIie and other points just after the
accident we Judge that there was gross nsgli- |
sence some where and that the parties will be
severely scrutin zed and dealt with.

Passengers, who came to this city, and were
on the Mavf1ower, say that she spoke the Cirva-
land, who had been searching for the wreck, but
4 anft a q
| wreck had gone down
II seems that the bow Of the Atlantic sank
first, leaving a small portion Of the stern above
| water for some time, to which many nf the pas
| sengers some say near hundred, were clnging
| when taken off by the propeller. It is snid that
when near Erie the Ogdensburgh being IN
sinking condition, discharged her passengers
and hose from the Atlantic on the steamer Sui
| tana. some Of whom were taken to Cleveland,
| and others to Erie.
