and found to possess the Jeffersonan qualfca-

Mrs. E. X Collins and family were among the

SECOND DISPATCH.
The Arctic came in collision with the pro-
peller at noon on the 9th, about 40 miles off
Cape Race, in a dense fog. The speed of the
Arctic at the time was about Is knots an hour.
The propeller had all sails set, with a strong
fair wind 1t was supposed at first that the Arc
tic had sustained little or no damage. Assist
ance was Immediately rendered to the propeller
which was frightfully damaged, but it was soon
discovered that the Arctic was also leaking fast,
and it gained so rapidly that the fires were soon
extingnished.
Every effort was then made TO save those
OH the Arctic, but rs four or five boats had left
to render assistance TO the propeller, and as
there was only one left, which was soon filled, n
raft was hastily constructed, and panic took
possession of those on board the Arctic, and they
crowded for the raft Large numbers reached it.
others were drowned in the attempt. All this
time the vessel was rapidly sinking, and sudden
ly, with all remaining on board, was engulfed in.
the sea.
All on the raft, except one, who chung to it
for "a hours, were drowned At 8 o'clock on
the p. m. of the 29th the bark Huron, of st. An
drews, N. b., hove in sight and took those on
board, 80 in number, Is of them were subse-
quently transferred to the ship Lebanon and ar
rived at this port at an early hour this morning.
The most Of those who were saved belong to the

DEcLINED.-Mr. PLATT, Democratic nominee
for Sheriff, comes out in handsome letter where.
in, we are sorry to see, he declines running for
that Office. The letter came too late for publ
cation but it shall appear next week. After
consultation with such delegates as we have
been able to meet, and also with many other
prominent citizens, we have concluded to gil the
vacancy cccasioned on our ticket with the name
Of STEPHEN L. LOWING. We have had no
opportunity of consulting with Mr. LOWING in
the matter, but We hope most sincerely that he
will allow his name to be used. He is pecul-
arly well qualified for the office of Sheriff. and
we know well that it would exactly accord with
the wishes of the people to have him fill that
position.

To OUR READERs.-An exciting election is
at hand. Consequently the reading matter of
the Times will be for few weeks of political
character. If this is Objectionable to any of our
patrons we trust they will bear with US. We
have thus far been very moderate in dealing out
political items. If we deviatc a little just now
from the ordinary course, it can not certainly be
the subject of serious complaint. The MAORI
ty of our readers we are satisfied will approve
the change. A great interest has been created
in the result of the struggle now going on, and
truth.tellng political articles, which are the on
ly ones that can find place in our columns,
will be received generally with relish. Ex-
ceptng the little space we may occupy with
original matter, We shall principally fiji up with
the most pointed articles to be found in the
leading political journals Of the day. On this
page will be found several selections which are
just now well worthy attention. This is espe-
cially the case in regard to those entitled "The
Opposition" and Why shall Leave my Par
ty." We ask for each of these careful peru
sal from every elector who takes our paper.
They are replete with wholesome TRUTH clearly,
forcibly and happily expressed They arc time
ly and candid. Read them, not only once, but
repeatedly. Ponder over them, and if you are
satisfied of the correctness Of the statements
therein made, assist in giving these general
currency.

ent parts OF the District, besides large crowd
of outsiders who viewed the action Of the Con-
vention with evident interest. From the pub
lished proceedings which appeared in our paper
last week, it will be seen that the first informal
ballot disclosed an almost perfect unanimity of
sentiment throughout the whole body of dele
gates.
The nominee, MoRDEcAI l.. HOPKINS hardly
needs an introduction at our hands. He has re-.
sided in Ottawa county for several years, and is
known personally or by reputation to nearly
every voter in the District. He is a young
man, but he stands preeminent among us, both
for natural and acquired ability. He is vigilant,
active and faithful. He is we'll worthy the high
position for which he has been nominated; and
if elected he will reflect honor on both himself
and those whom he represents. The nomina-
ton so far as we can learn is cordially received,
and in common with all we have heard express an
opinion, we think the selection of the Conven-
ton fortunate one. Mr.. HOPKINS will undoubt-
edly carry larger vote than any other man that
could have been proposed, and he can not fail of
a triumphant election. He will receive the uni
ted support of the party and Young America
will rally for him with real enthusiasm.

AWFUL CALAMITY.

Loss of the Steamer Arctic 400 Lives Lost !!
Only thirty-ti0o Sared!

spatch TO Fillmore city, six miles distant for assist
ance. A party of seven Mormons took guide
and went to the scene Of massacre, about twenty
four miles from the main camp, and, without mo-
lestation recovered all the animals save one that
had been killed together with the arms, instru-
ments, aud minutes OF survey Of the party.
All that remained of the murdered men were
the disjointed bones, picked clean by the wolves.
The only parts that could be identified were a
thigh bone, believed TO be thst Of poor Gunnson,
and skull Of Potter, Gunnison's Mormon guide.
The remains were all carefully collected and
buried, and the party returned and forwarded the
properly Of the expedition TO camp. The conduct
of Captain Morris is severely commented upon
for allowing the bodies Of his comrades to be
eaten up by the wolves, as il is said his force
sufficient to have whipped all the Indians in the
valley.
Mr. Ross remained eighteen days in that re-
gion and had frequent interviews with the chief of
the Pauvans, Jesus. The whole tribe, he thinks,
does not number forty men, The chief often ex-
pressed great regret at the death of Gunnson.
The attack was made without his knowledge, by
his people, who had become enraged at the indig-
mites practised upon them by parties of emigrants.
We hope TO be able TO give more full particulars

Further Particulars In Relation to the
Massacre of Lieutenant Gunnis0n's Party
The Los Angeles Star gives additional particu-
lars in relation 10 the massacre of Lieutenant Gun
nison and his companions. II states that the Pau
van Indians attacked Captain Gunnson's party
to revenge their recent defeat at Cedar springs by
the Hildreth party in which eleven Indians were
killed and several wounded.
Mr.. Hildreth's account of his difficulty with the
Pauvans, who are Utahs living in the Pauvan val.
ley, is as follows: .@s
"The party numbered about thirty men, many
Of them with families. One evening, soon after
encamping some twenty five Indians came into
the camp to trade, and proposed to remain. Mr..
Hdreth was absent at the time. A young man
of ihe party proposed TO dsarm the Indians,
as they might commit some outrage during the
night. This movement the Indians resisted, and
in the struggle an American received an arrow in
his side. The Indians then left the camp. After
wards. while encamped in Cedar springs, one
night Just before the moon rose, they were at
tackled by large body Of these Indians the latter
sustaining bad defeat, with the loss of eleven
killed and several wounded. The Indians dis
played considerable sagacity in their way of at

while another body advanced TO attack the camp
expecting thus 10 create confusion and flight, and
the fugiives might be cnt of by ambush But
their expectations were defeated. Not man
