6th.-At 6 p. NJ saw schooner to windward
but the state of the sea would not allow us 10
reach her. A@ Il
10 7th.-Heavy swell, tempestuous sea, but ra-
ther moderating. Had little rest during the
day. Evening, a calm. e
Sth.-Early in the morning saw three masted
vessel about five miles of. Pulled towards her.
but taking no notice of the signals made by us,
she kept on her course towards the north We
followed in the same direction until
9th.--Sunday A. NJ. saw sail near
horizon. Rowed towards her, but a breeze
springirg up, and the ship going in the same dl-
rection as ourselves, we could not reach her.
1t was at this time that deponent saw another
sail on the port side, bearing down towards
them. After three hours of fatigue and hard
rowing, we reached her, and found her to be
the bark Elise, of Bremen, Capt Nordenbolott,
bound from Baltimore to Bremen. The Cap
tain took us all on board and seemed happy in
giving all the care and attention required under
the circumstances Our boat with all 1t con-
tanned, was hoisted on board Deponeut asserts
that with the courage and energy displayed by
his men, they could have kept the sea in Their
boat four days longer, which fact leads him
strongly to believe that the other boats VIII
also be picked up.
l0th.-At A. NJ, the vessel on which they
were spoke another, of the same name, from
Hamburg going to New York. The Captain
kindly consented to take those of us on board
who desired to go to New York. All avaiied
themselves of this offer, with the exception Of
Mr. Schcdell. (late British Vice ConsuD and his
wife, who preferred going to Bremen After
four days sail the bark Elise landed us in New
York, the nth Nov, at 2. NJ.
Capt. j. B. Durham, of the bark Adriatie,
makes the following statements
On Sunday night, Nov. 2, before IL o'clock,
discovered steamer about three or four points
on the weather bow. The night was starlight
but hazy. Should think we saw the light twenty
minutes or more before we struck. The steamer
continued on her course, which would carry her
by our stern, If not altered, but upon nearing
us she suddenly changed her course, which rem
dered collision inevitable. We then endea-
vored to save ourselves by tacking, but II was
/ too late, and in few minutes We were afoul,
/ striking the steamer abaft the wheelhouse car
| rying away our jibboom bowsprt. and ripping
up the topgailant forecastle, and starting the
whole STAFFORD bow from the deck frame, and
the wood end forward. We then hailed the
steamer and requested them not to leave us,
but received no answer. We then kept away
before the Miud to prevent losing our masts,
and to ascertain our damage. Saw the steamers s
| lights and kept in view ten or fifteen minutes,
until lost in the distance, supposing that she
had received but little injury and continued on
I her course. We secured our masts, and repaired
/ the damage as well as possible, and then shaped
our course for the nearest port and arrived ut
/ Gloucester Nov. 4, at III p. NJ. The statement
with regard to the weather being foggy is en-
| tirely incorrect. as it was starlight, with but a
/ slight haze in the atmosphere.

The Election.

Next Saturday, the 2Sth inst, is the
day that has finally been determined upon
by the democracy of Thurston county as
the day for holding the convention for the
nomination of candidates TO fill the various
county offices. A full representation from
all the precincts is most anxiously expect
ed. 1t is well known that the contest will
be between dark lanterns and woolly hair
e.. E. sectionalsm, on the one hand, and a
national party on the other Itwould only
be pure loss of time to attempt to discuss
the whole facts bearing upon this PROPOSE
ton. II we know any thing about parties,
in the political sense, in our country, we
can find but three. First, National
Democratic party, bearing aloft the banner
that procured the triumph of the principles
advocated by Jefferson, Madison, jackson,
and Pierce, with their confederates-op-
posed, as always those principles have
been, by the deVotees of federalism. Be
Iieving that the people are the true sover'
egns of the soil, and that the world was
framed by an All-Wise Creator for the
benefit of those who existed thereon, we
have only to appeal to the people, that
they come forward and sustain such men to
Office, whom they have reason to believe
will prove true 10 their interests.

hereto subjoined. 1t will be remembered
that the meeting was perhaps the largest
ever convened in this vicinity, aside from
public festivals, and that series Of resolu.

Stevens in his declaration Of martial law as
above, in conformity with the representa-

teer authorities and the executive, with an
object, as we fully believe, of procuring an
abandonment Of the volunteer service, and
the prostration of those that had its drec.
tion in charge. Although loud declama.
tions were made on the ocOasien, as to the
legality of the steps taken by governor Ste
vens, the mass of the meeting quietly took
its departure, after the almost unanimous
adoption of the resolutions, with the graft
dcation of knowing that the " "viper" which
sought to distract its deliberations, merely
gnawed file"

do so. 1t might be proper to relate that

not by any means all that have or could BE-
obtained. In this community there Is but
one common sentiment on the subject ofths
