The Loss Of the Independence.

On tho 10th of March last, this vessel
was lost on the island of Margaritta, of
the coast Of California, 167 miles from
the point known as Cape St. Lucas, and
nearly $50 lives lost, including Edwin C.
Marvin late of Bradford county and A.
Schofeld also of Pean'a. The "Tribune"
says
We print this morning the complete de-
tails of this dreadful event as given by the
journals of San Francisco. The story is
summarily as follows: The steamer was
going fl, ely in smoth water when her course
was suddenly arrested by sunken reef.
She was got of and it was presently dis
covered that her bottom had been broken
in, and tha. there were already eight feet
o. water in the hold. As matter of course
the Captain decided to run her ashore, but
to do this properly and with the least risk
to life, 1t was necessary to find safe place:
during the search for such a spot along
the rock-bound and surf-beaten coast, the
water was steadily rising in the hold and
threatening to put out the fires under the
boilers, which were heated to the highest
pitch in order to hurry the ship forward
finally the water rose so as to obstruct the
flues and stop the draught, when the fla
ming fires which i had not yet qucnched,
were forced out through the furnace doors,
causing the conaagration and the shocking
loss of life which ensued.
The fire caught to the powder magazine
and blew the stern of the vessel to pieces
the coal took fire and completed the de.
struction Of the vessel. The passengers
who were saved remained on an unipbab.
ited island for two days and half before
they were rescued.

To THE You've L,D1Es.-I have found that Tho
men who are really The most fond of the ladies.
who cherish Tor them the highest rcspec, are sci.
dom the most popular with the sex. Men of great
assurance, whose tongues are highly hung, who
make words supply the place OF ideas, and place
compliment in the room of sentiment, are their
iavor''es. j due respect for women leads to re-
sPectfui action towards them; and respectful is
usually distant action, and this great distance is
mistaken by them for neglect or want of interest.
