Loss or THE FRENCH STEAMER LYoSSArs-FuR-
THEIR EXPLANATIONS NEcEssARY.-The HERALD of
this day week announced in its marine list the
arrival at Gloucester, Mass, on the 4th Of No
vember, instant, Of the bark Adriatic, Capt. Dur
ham, Of Belfast, Maine, bound to Savannah, which
had put In for repairs. She proves to be the den-
teal vessel which ran into the French steamer
Lyonnais, whose loss was not known in this city
till late in the evening of the 18TH and that from
the arrival in port Of some Of the survivors Of the
wreck. Thus it appears that for nine days a
profound silence prevailed on the subject Of the
collision, although Captain Durham could have
made II known on the 4th, In mach more salts
factory manner than merely writing TO his owners
at Belfast. A most distressing loss Of time was
the consequence, and prevented an early effort
on the part Of the agents in New York to rescue
the steamer, Its passengers and crew.
Let us hear what Captain Durham has TO say
for not lying to, after the collision, to see how
much damage he had done, and what assistance
was required by the unfortunate passengers and
crew Of the Lyonnais.

organizing conspirators, we take the liberty Of
warning Mr.. Buchanan. He must crush them
in the outset, or they will ruin him in the
end. Their course is spoliation, robbery,
discord and confusion-his true course is
a return from the fatal course of poor
Pierce to the landmarks of the constitution,
and to decent respect for the opinions Of man
kind" He may thus destroy not only this disor-
ganizing disunion faction of Southern nullifers
and their Northern coniederates for the plumber,

PRACTICAL BENEv0LENGE IN A New LIGHT
Our philosophc contemporaries of the Tribune are
"nothiDg If not critical" Having labored for
some years with view Of reforming the entire
human race, and having met, to say the least,
with only partial success, they have now turned
their attention to u.s. and fire away increasingly
because we do not think precisely as they
do on all matters. The last phi broad
side is a criticism upon our views in relation to
the new Corporation. The Tribune states that
we supported scamps for Office in order to give
them a chance to reform, and that this shows our
kindness Of heart, amiability and bepevolence.
1t is not true that we supported any Of the per-
sons on the ward tickets. But the philosophers
of the Tribune have no such word as truth in their
vocabulary; and as certain persons are to be an
swered according to their folly, we viii ask our
friends whether or not our philanthropic enter
prises are not attended with more success than
their Owl. We remember that the Tribune has
attempted to reform scamps by making them live
upon bran bread and vegetables, but man being
carniverous, stole the money to buy beef steaks.
We remember that the Tribune desired to prevent
crime by breaking down all social distinctions
by returning to first principles, modernized by
Fourier and Saint Simon-by division Of pro-
perty-by SO facilitating divorce that marriage
would be nullity, and by prohibitory laws
against the sale Of liquors How have the Tri-
6une's pupils turned outs They are gaunt, rag
ged fellows, with seedy clothes, great shaggy
boards wild eyes and tOsa ensemble strongly re-
minding one of the incurables in lunatic
asylum.
Now, look at our fine fellows who are put in
good position by magnanimous and a confding
people. They are perfect gentlemen. They dis
play financial abilities which would do Gre
dit to Colbert himself. On salaries of fifteen
hundred a year they live splendidiy, dress mag
drive fast horses, have country seats
and interminabls corner lots and rows of brown
stone front houses in good streets up town.
When they die they shall have great funerals,
nice notices in the papers, and little cherubs
shall drop on their urps their marble tears.
Now, we put 1t to the people, is not our bene-
violence truly practical beneftting the objects Of
our paternal solicitude, instead Of running them,
physically, mentally and pecuniarily, with fine
spun theories after the fashion Of our phloso-
phical contemporaries Of Spruce street, What

and in Philadelphia Z B. Morgan in this city,
and Mesers. Fry and Gibbons in Philadelphia,
were the leading managers, and lost the battle by
their eiunders. The Philadelphians gave to Gov
Ford, Of Ohio, twenty thousand dollars as a sub
yention for the country papers in Pennsylvania
to support Fremont, and that amount was actual
~ given to Fillmore journals, and used to forward
the Fillmore interest.
In looking over the secret operations Of these
men, we cannot resist the conclusion that Thur
low Weed and his compeers actually undertook
to defeat the election Of Col. Fremont hoping
thereby to benefit Seward in relation to the cam
paign of 1860.
