The following telegraphic dispatches from
the Philadelphia Bulletin contains the latest
particulars Of the wreck:
ABsEcoM, N. j., April 2l.-About thirty
bodies III all have come ashore on Absecom
beach. They appear from their dress to be
the better class of Germans, from the fact that
some of the children were, neatly and hand.
somely clothed. Mrs. Burr took charge Of the
bodies of the females and children, and, after
washing them, had them respectfully inferred.
She has preserved such portions Of their cloth
ing as was marked, in the hope that it may
some TIME lead to the recognition fthe bodies
of the unfortunate victims.
Not vestige Of the vessel has come ashore.
| A mattress was found on the beach.
/ Four or FIVE bodies came ashore on Brigan-
tine beach this morning. Mr. and Mrs. Hor-
ner are reported to have picked up thirty bodies
on this beach themselves. Mr.. Beniaglin Tur-
ner, resident Of Brigantine beach, thinks that
altogether, between fifty and sixty bodies have
been found there. He deserves much praise
for the generous manner in which he attended
| to the requirements of the dead.
/ One of the women found was about eighteen
years Of age, Of handsome features, and appa-
rently an American.
The clothing of another of the victims,
about twenty years of age, showed her to be.
long to the wealthy class of Germans. She
was beautifnllooking creature, even as she
lay in death. On her fingers she wore two
rings-one plain, and the other having heart
attached to it. They were marked P. s." and
"B. ST." 1854.
Among the bodies is man who was appa-
rently one of the officers of the vessel.
1t is reported that there has been about forty
bodies washed ashore on Long beach.
This will make the total number of bodies
ashore about one hundred and thirty.
About fifty bodies have been taken to Smith
vile for interment. Most of the people here
are afraid to touch them, which leaves the whole
work for few to perform. A number Of the
women and children washed ashore had nothing
! on but their night clothes, showing that the
ship must have gone down in the night. The
bodies of nearly all are badly bruised, and
some of them could not be recognised by their
most intimate friends. One interesting little
girl, about eleven years of age, was in her bare
feet; her right eye was knocked out and the
right side Of her lace was black and blue.
A little boy, about eight years of age, came
alongside of her. His face was swollen up to
twice its natural size. A man, apparently a
sailor, who came ashore about the same time,
had his skull broken. The bodies had the
appearance of having been dashed against the
wreck.
The general impression here is that the bo-
dies were all from the wreck of the ship Pow
hatan, which went ashore in the dreadful gale
of the 18th, on Long beach.
A report from Little Egg harbor states that
a German was picked up there alive. He has
been delirious ever since, and Of course we can
not get any information from him.
| We have Just received a report that the cap
tain and mate of the Powhatan have been
saved on Long. beach.
Several of the dead bodies on Brigantine
beach are reported to have been robbed
! Some dead bodies have been picked up
twelve miles below here.
WRECK OF THE MANHATTAN, FROM PHILA-
DELpHIA.-The schooner Manhattan. of Ban
4 gor, Maine, Captain Fields, came ashore about
mile below the Powhatan, on Sunday night.
After considerable thumping on the bar, she
was driven over and was beaten up on the
shore. The sea ran very high, and drove her
up within fifty yards of the beach.
| Captain Jennings repaired to the spot, and
endeavored to persuade the captain and crew,
seventh number, to oletthemselves down by a rope
from the end of the jib-boom, which, when the
surf ran out, was hanging over the land, aud
/ they could easily have got ashore. Instead of
following the advice Of Captain Jennings, the
captain and all the crew shut themselves up in
the after cabin, thinking, most probably, that
the vessel would outlive the gale, and would be
high and dry. the next morning. The waves,
however, soon made quick work of the Man.
haitian, and in on hour or so she went all to
pieces.
Five Of the men endeavoredr to get ashore on
spar, but only one Of them, man named
George Grifiths, of Bangor, Maine, succeeded
in getting ashore. He was found the next day,
in an insensible condition, lying among the
bushes, and was quickly conveyed to the near
est habitation, where everything was done to
relieve his condition. He continued raving
for many hours, and was under the impression
