DREADFUL SCENE ON BOARD SHIP
WRECKED VEssKL.-It has been already
stated that the ship Chauncey Jerome
had gone ashore below New York on
Wednesday night, the 11th inst. On
the next day all the passengers, except
ten, and the crew were got on shore and
and the ship left by the captain in
charge of the second mate until morn
ing, in consequence of an increase in
the Storm No sooner had the captain
left than the crew mutinied, broke into
the cabin, robbed trunks, and took pos
session of keg of whisky, of which
they drank freely, and the leader,
seizing an axe, declared himself captain.
AS all the lower decks were under
water, the remaining passengers were
obliged to take refuge with the seamen
in the foreeastle; the consequence was,
that as soon as the liquor began to have
its effect, the crowded forecastle became
a perfect pandemonium. The wild roar
of the surf, as it rolled over the beach
and dashed against the ship, became
broken with the rioting of the bach
anals; and soon the whole party became
quarrelsome; and the head fellow be-
gan the fight by attacking Dutch sail
or; and the fight became general; fists,
boots, knives, hammers, Delaying pins,
handspikes, and marling spikes were
freely handled.
The fight continued for long time,
without the second mate being able to
exert any effectual check upon their
proceedings. In the meantime one of
the frightened passengers jumped over
board, but was fortunately washed
ashore by the surf. Harry Wilson. one
of the sailors attacked by the drunken
party, had his skull fractured and one
of his hands broken Geo. Chambers,
another sailor, Lad thumb on one
hand, finger on the other bitten off,
and when found, on the following day,
were both lying senseless and bleeding.
The leader of the revolt has since been
arrested tlE tT -TfllrI sff

SANTA ANNA.-A correspondent of
the New Orleans Delta, writing from
Vera Cruz under date of the 7th inst,
makes the following statements with
reference to Santa Anna, and two other
men of distinction in Mexico:
Santa Annals power is increasing to
all appearances-and probably in reali-
ty-from day to day. The papers are
filled with new 'adhesions' to the present
plan or platform Some over-zealous
adherents--imitating the example Of
obscure village papers in the United
States, who are anxious to be the first
to hoist the name of new candidate
for the Presidency-insist upon it, that
nothing less than the comforting of the
title of Emperor upon him, can prove
their sense of what he deserves of his
country Meanwhile, the recipient of
these honors is paying one of the penal
ties of greatness. He lives in constant
apprehension of attempts upon his life
by poison-eats nothing but that which
faithful and devoted sister prepares
and sends to him, carefully locked upin
a large covered tray. 1t is said that at
his own bsnquets he dare not eat.
Uneasy rests the head that wears crown"
The General Lombardain, recently
dead, is suspected to have been pois-
oned. and the French physician who
attended him during his fatal illness
has been arrested. r ...
Gen. Alverez, called the chief of the
PintOs, or Painted people, who has been
quite thorn in the side of Santa Anna,
as well as other Mexican rulers, has
been completely pacified and won over
to the present Government by judicious
and conciliatory measures, among other
things the bestowal upon him of the
Grand Cross of the order of Guada-
lupe. III. .-., .f ,-.- r..f /

The fly spider lays an egg as long as

Hook discovered fourteen thousand mir

The body of every spider contains four

all the threads to the amount of thOus-

they come out and make the single

The Loss OF A WIFE.-In comnari-
son with the loss of a wife, ali other
bereavements are trifing. The wifel
she who fills so large space in the do
mestic heaven; she who busted herself
so unwesriedly for the precious ones
around her; bitter, bitter is the tear
that falls upon her cold clayl You
stand beside her coffin and think of the
past. 1t seems an amber colored path
way, where the sun shown upon beauti-
full flowers, or the stars hung glittering
ovehead. Fain would the soul linger
there. No thorns are remember above
that sweet clay. save those your hands
may unwillingly have planted. Her
noble, tender heart lies upen to your
inmost sigh. You think Of her now as
all gentleness, all beauty, all purity
But she is dead! The dear head that
laid upon your bosom, rests in the still
darkness, upon a pillow of clay. The
hands that have administered so un-
tiringly, are folded, white and cold, be-
meath the gloomy portals. The heart
whose every beat measured an eternity
of love lies under your feet. The flow
ers she bent over with smiles, bend now
over her in tears, shaking the dew from
their petals, that the verdure may be
kept green and beautiful.
There is no white, arm over your
shoulder; no speaking face to look up
into the eye of Love; no trembling lips
to murmur, %, it is so sad.'
There is so strange hush in every
room, no light footstep passing around.
No smile to greet you at the nightfall.
And the old clock ticks and strikes, and
ticks-it was such music when she could
hear it. Now it seems knell on the
hours through which you watched the
shadows of death gathering upon her
sweet face.
And every day the clock repeats that
old story. Many another tale it telleth,
too, Of beautiful words and deeds that
are registered above. You feel-O,
how often-that the grave cannot keep
her.

A HERO AND HIS GRAvE.-A cores
pondent at Shepardstown, Va, who wa:
fellow-soldier, has paid the following
brief tribute to a gallant hero, who
now has his grave in the rolling surge
of the Atlantic:
Col. John NJ. Washington, who was
lost from on board the Inflated steamer
San Francisco, and whose death viii
send shock to thousands of his friends
in the United States, in Mexico was as
gallant a soldier, as perfect gentleman,
and as pure man as ever breathed the
breath Of life. i knew him well, Hora-
ito, and believe that if the acts of his
life had been written on his forehead,
he would not have drawn his hat over
it.
1t will be recollected that he COM
manded the breast-work battery on the
extreme right of our line at the battle
Of Buena Vista-where, with his four
guns, he effectually checked every effort
of the enemy to turn their flank. His
other two guns were on the field, under
the command of subaltern. At the
close of the battle, when the enemy
made his last and expiring effort to re
cover the day, by the charge of FIVE
thousand lancers upon McKee's Ken
lucky, and Harding's Illinois Regi-
ments, Washington's guns were loaded
with shell, and fearing that in their ex-
plosion they might injure our own
troops, he deliberately drew every shell,
then reloaded with round shot, and as
the enemy came down on the devoted
regiments, he opened his fire again. and
moved them down like hay before
the scythe. By this timely and unusual
change Of projectiles, he saved the regi-
ments until Bragg's battery came into
action again, which, combining with
Washington's, drove the enemy from
the field and won the day.

A SINGULAR TREE.-Seven miles
from Oregon City, there is a species Of
evergreen tree, which abounds plenti-
fully, of character altogether pecu-
liar. 1t is thus described: 49, -
"The tree varies in heighth from one
to seven feet; the leaf resembles that
of the pear, while the trunk and branch
es look like those of the orange tree
The upper side of the Ieafis thinly coat
ed with gum having the appearance Of
oil, and of the consistence Of honey
Handling them causes the gum to ad-
here lightly to the fingers. The gum,
as well as the leaf and bark, are highly
odorous. The fragrance, which is quite
strong, resembles that of Bergament or
ripe fruit, and a few leaves are sufi-
cient to perfume room. A leaf, fully
wrapt up in paper, so as to be entirely
concealed, was handed TO several per-
sons, with a request that they would
tell. by the smell, which it was. All
expressed themselves highly delighted
with the fragrance, but gave different
answers as to its character. Some said
that it smelled like ripe pears; some
that it was Bergamont; while others
thought it smelled like ripe apples
The flower resembles that Of the white
Jessamine." r,-f -.
