TERRIBLE DISASTER!
STEAMER ARCTIC SUNKH
Awful Loss of Life!!!

New YORK, Oct. 1.-THE New York and
Havre steam packet Union has arrived, with
dates from Liverpool to the 23d instant. She
brings the following heartrending intelligence.
The Collins steamer Arctic, bound from
Liverpool to New York, on the 9th Septem-
Der, Zone week OUT ran into a steam propeller,
and leaking very rapidly, soon began to sink,
and extinguished the fires under the boilers.
Five boats were launched with all expedition,
and were filled with the crew and q few pas
sengers. Captain Luce, the commander OF The
Arctic, and the mates remaining with the rest
of the passengers, and set about the construc-
ton of a raft, only one boat remaining with
the ship. Before the raft was fairly completed,
a sadden panic seized the passengers. who
rushed into the boat and on the raft. In three
minutes afterwards the Arctic went down. All
in the boats were saved, but only one out Of
seventy.two that were on the raft escaped.
Among the last persons seen OF the deck OF
the Arctic before she went down were =. X.
Collins, (principrl owner and agent OF the
Collins line,) and his two children. Mr.. Brown,
"a relation of the principal partners of Brown,
Shipley & Co.. and his family, the Due de
Grammoud, (of the French embassy at Wash>
ington,) and J. Cook, of Opelousas, La.
There were 43l persons on board the Arctic
ut the time of the collision, and of these one
hundred and three are known to have been
saved.
1t was the wife and children, not MI. E. K.
Collins, as reported above, who was lost.

Confidence in ONES Ssy.-When a crisis
befalls you and the emergency requires moral
courage and noble manhood to meet it; be
equalto the requirements Of the moment and
rise superior TO the obstacles in your path.
The universal testimony of men, whose ex-
perience exactly comedies with yours. furn>
ishes the consoling reflection that difiuclties
may be ended by opposition. There is no
blessing equal 10 the possession Of . stout
heart. The magnitude Of the danger needs
nothing more than a greater effort than ever
at your hands. If you prove recreant in the
hour oftrial, You are the worst of recreants,
and deserve no compassion. Be not dismayed
nor unnamed, when you should be bold and
daring, unfinching and r~esolnte. The cloud
whose threatening m you hear with
fear and dread its pregnant with blessings, and
the fr0wn whose sternness now makes YOU
shudder and tremble, will ere long be succeed
ed BY smile Of bewitching sweetness and
benignity. Then be strong and manly, oppose
equal forces 10 open ~dificullies keep 4 stiff
upper lip; and trust in Providence. Greatness
can only be achieved by those who are tried.
The condition Of that achievement is confidence

he escaped, and was brought in by one Of the
married men living o. the outskirts Of the

federation to me and my countrymen, should
ever hold Office here, or power Of any kind to
persecute US for our religious opinions. No
man who acknowledges allegiance to any for
eign potentate OF power, or who holds himself
under obligations to obey the edicts of any
such potentate or power, shall be by my vote
placed in any post or Office under the American
government. / would defend the rights Of
man of all religions to the full extent to which
those rights are guaranteed by the American
Coostitution. But while | would advise every
American citizen to defend the religious rights
of all others, even at the hazard Of his life, l
would at the same time advise him to peril his
life not less freely in defence of his own,
l do not undertake to enter into the subject
how far foreigners, who are not naturlized in
this country, should be permitted to hold office.
Yon will find that you can lay down no general
rule upon this subject, to which there will not
necessarily be exceptions. 1t is sufficient for
my purpose, standing as l do, without the pow.
er, and without the wish to have the power, to
confer Offices upon others, to say that in my
Judgment a native American citizen, under
equal circumstances of qualifications and merit,
is better entitled to the honors and Offices of
the country than a foreigner, whether natural
lied or not.
And now, seeking no office from you or your
friends, or anybody else, / have the honor to
subscribe myself, very sincerely and respect
fully, your friend,
