The LOST STEAMsHIP.-It is probable that
no more definite traces of the lost steamer
City of Glasgow viii ever be found than that
we announced yesterday-the discovery of q
chest evidently belonging to a sailor on
board of her. 1t is now nearly six months
since she left Liverpool for this port, with
nearly five hundred human beings on board.
1t Is a pitiable sequel to the known history
of the voyage begun SO prosperously-that
sight of a seaman's chest, floating in the
wide ocean. 1t can tell no story Of the rude
to destruction nor of long, wearying, ex-
hausting imprisonment among the icebergs;
nor of the thousand horrors that gather
around a helpless wreck. Nor can 1t tell
of the deeds of heroism which must have
been done there of the sublime faith that
upheld the responding and comforted the
despairing even in the last terrible hour;
of the courage, greater than that of soldiers,
that battled with grief and despair, and
quieted the clamorous sorrows of wretched
women and children. of the noble heroism
of woman, who so often, in an hour when
mans courage fails, are miraculously en-
dowed with a superhuman moral strength,
that upholds them and makes them minis
tering angels indeed. These are all parts
of the worlds unwritten history, and per-
haps it is the best that they should remain
unwritten. Among the thousands who had
relatives or friends on the lost ship, there
are some, perhaps, who still fondly cling to
a hope~of safety, and such a delusion is bet
ter than the rude realities of the wreck and
its horrors.'-Phl. Bulletin.
Capt. K~lockgether, of the ship Windsor,
which arrived at Baltimore from Brennan, a
few days since, met with quite an incident
on the passage over. When forty days at
sea, the weather being clear, an open boat
was deserted in the distance, with, as it was
supposed, no one in it. The Captain inn
mediately bore down upon it, when on ex-
animation, it was found to contain four hu-
man bodies, or, in other words, skeletons, as
the flesh had been entirely stri pped from the
bones. The boat was filed with water. but
being of a light airy structure, had continued
to float for days perhaps months upon the
turbulent deep. In the boat were large num-
Der of fish, which no doubt preyed upon the
bodies. A few remnants of clothing were
found in the frai1 bark, but so much torn as
) to preclude the possibility of telling whether
they belonged to seamen or passengers
There can be no doubt that the bodies were
| those of some Of the many pnfortunates who
: were wrecked in some of the missing vessels.
Is it not probable that they were a part of
the crew of the missing steamer City of Glas-
gov?

Guilford and Yorktown.

Col. Benton, in his new political book, has
formed n high and just estimate of the effect
Of the battle Of Guilford Court House, in
putting an end to the Revolutionary War
1t may not be a new idea, but we have not
seen 1t so distinctly stated, as in this book.
We quote from the pages lis, 116:
The philosophy ofhistory has not laid hold
OF the battle Of Guilford, its consequences and
effects. That battle made the capture of
Yorktown. The events are told in every his.
tory their connection and dependence in
none. 1t broke up the plan of CORVALLIS
IN the South, and changed the plan Of Wash
ington in the north. CORVALLIS was to SUBJ
due the Southern States, and was going it
until Greene turned upon him at Guilford.-
Washington was occupied with Sir Henry
Clinton, then in New York with $4,000
British troops. lie had formed the heroic
design to capture Clinton and his army 1.-THE
French fleet co.operating) in that city, and
thereby putting an end to the war. All his
preparations were going on for that grand
consummation when he got the news of the
battle Of Guilford, the retreat of CORVALLIS
to Wilmington, his inability to keep the field
in the South, and his return northward
through the lower part of Virginia. He saw
AAo Nv FAAAAAAO- h9A PAOJ- bAlO oNhAAO
result, If successful. CORVALLIS or Clinton,
either of them captured, would put an end
to the war. Washington changed his plan,
deceived Clinton, moved rapidly upon the
weaker general, captured him and his 1000
men and ended the Revolutionary war
The Battle of Guilford put that capture into
Washington's hands and the philosophy of
the history shows their dependence, and that
the lesser event was father to the greater
The State Of North Carolina gave General
Greene q, 900 acres Of western land for that
days work, now worth q million of dollars {:
but the day itself has not yet obtained its
proper place in American history.
That the above is n correct opinion, is ap-
parent from the dispatches Of Greene himself,
and from the records of history. Greene
took the resolution of attacking CORVALLIS,
being persuaded Ito uso his own l~anguage)
that if we were successful, it would prove
r%uinous to the enemy, and if otherwise, it
would only prove a partial evil to us IT.
said he, i nm forced to retreat, or am van
quished, the country is in no worse condition
than it is now, overrun by the enemy.
If | am victor, or cripple Lord CORVALLIS,
he andthe royal cause are ruined in the State
CORVALLIS, crippled by the action Mt Gull
ford Court house, declined a Encouragement
proffered by Greene, retreat, rs above stated,
to Wilmington, thence to Virginia, and at
Yorktown fell an easy prey to Washington.
We agree with Col. Benton, that the battle
of Guilford Court House had a very decided
effect in bringing about the fortunate catas-
trophe at Yorktown and that the day itself
has never received its proper position in A
merican history.
