Not one Woman or child saved!

The n. Y. Express denounces in eloquent and
feeling terms the conduct of portion of those on
board the Arctic 1t says
According to the statement of one of the saved,
Capt. Grann,) no sooner the ship found to be
sinking, than two of the quarter boats were taken
possession of by the second and fourth officers and
crerc, another boat (making the third,) taken
possession of by the engineers, supplied with provi-
sions, wafer, &c. In this last boat, it seems there
were but eight or ine persons 1t could have safe
ly accommodated many more, but revolvers were
drawn by those on board against those who were
shrieking and struggling to go on board In that
fearful struggle were many helpless women and chill
dren, but their piful appeals for life unheeded
by the robust EDWARDS who had stolen the boats, and
turned their backs upon those whom it their duty
to preserYe-or at least TO endeavor to preserve
Oh what manly spectacle must that have been!
Hardy, rough handed, broadshouldered, strong franz
ed men accustomed to business, toO the constant
hazards of which would naturally think deadens
in some degree everything like personal fear-men
like these treacherously deserving feeble and delicate
women, and shutting their to cries from little
children that should have touched hearts Of adamant
1t is enough to make all ashamed of humanity, and
envy the better nature of the beasts OF the field.
Not one womGn SaUed Not one child at least we
have al the moment we write this, no assurance OF
the fact.
The circumstances connected with the loss of the
British steamer Birkenhead, on the coast of Africa
not many.months since, are still fresh in the memo
ries of all. The steamer struck on hidden rock,
stove plank at the bows, and went to the bottom,
we believe, in half hours time. There was a
regiment of troops on board. AS as the alarm
was given and it became apparent that the ships
fate sealed, the roll of the drum called the sold
iers to the upper deck That call was propt-
ly obeyed. though every gallant heart there knew
that it was his death summons There they stood as
if in battle array-a motionless of brave men
men who were indeed. The ship every moment
was going down and down-but there trail
tors, no deserers no cravens there. The women and
children were got into the boats, and were all, or
nearly all, saved there boats for the troops
but there was no panic, no blanched, pale culver
ing lips among them. Down went the ship, and down
went that heroic band shoulder to shoulder, firing
fen de joie as they sank beneath the waves. Men
like these never perish their bodies may be given tc
the fishes of the sea, but their memories are they
ought to be-immortal."

A New ALLY.-There is standing order in the
United States Navy against permittlttlng women to
accompany their husbands in government vessels
The highest officer is not allowed tie society of his
affectonate spouse, except by special permission
When that permission has been granted great NEON
venience generally follows unusual wear anC tear
of the ships canvass in taking SAIL and in every fresh

ships boats when in harbor. 1t would seem pity
that the same rule was not embraced by the French

Arnaud took in the invasion of the Crimea. there
she was nevertheless busy and prominent as eV-
er. The delay in the departure OF the expedltlon
was it is we'll known, occasiOned by the large amount
of baggage which this lady took out with her from
France amounting, it is said, to something like nj
teen hundred bandboxes. AS French wOman's traps
are exceedingly frai, and require delicate handling
it was found necessary to provide additional trans
ports for their conveyance to the Chersonnean pen
insula. 1t is said that the determination to attack
Sebasopo was the result of coup de tee on the part

Joseph Lane There is something highly interesting in
the character of this warrior statesman He is peculiarly

ardor of the soldier and the sagaciy of the weskilled
legislator Those who board his thrilling speeches during
the last session of Congress n defence of the army and in
sunport of his various territorial bills will never forget
the modesty with which he avoided all alaaoNs to ms own
gallant doeds though then only just returned ron fatal
conflict with the Indians. Oregon should be proud OF
