crew Of The Lyonnaise.
Fourteen Of the restored were taken on
board the Bremen vessel.
Among the saved was the second mate
Of the Lyonnaise, who furnishes the above
account.
The second mate and those with him
left the steamer on the afternoon Of the Sd,
and were consequently six days in the boat.
; The mate says that to his knowledge the
captain and all the others on board left the
vessel the next morning.
The Lyonnaise had on board thirty-nine
cabin passengers, making her crew, officers
and steerage passengers, about $50 per-
sons. She had also $23, 900 in specie.
The collision occurred in dense fog.
The stern of the ship was cut clean of, and
is supposed to have sunk Immediately, as
she was not seen afterward.
The latter had forty on board, but it is
thought that they could not have lived
through the rough weather that followed.
The boat picked up was the only boat on
board. Nothing whatever is known of the
raft or the five other boats. 1t is feared
that those in them, about one hundred and
thirty in number, have perished
The Lyonnaise was built at Southamp-
ton, and temporarily placed in the New
York and Havre line. She was still afloat
when abandoned. The passengers saved
suffered terribly from cold, their limbs
having been frozen
The Lyonnaise had but small freight on
board. which was valued at $50, 900, and
partially insured here. The ship with
which she came into collision was built on
the Clyde, and wasvalued at about $780,
900, which is insured in Europe.
The Captain Of the Vigo, the consort Of
the Lyonnaise, states that the latter vessel
was built with seven water tight compart-
ments, and if all were gone but two, the
hull would still have kept aAoats

BUCHANAN NOT ELEoTED.-It may strike
some folks strangely to learn that Mr.. JAMES
BUCHANAN is not yet elected President Of
the United States, for the four years, COM
mencing the Fourth Of March next. 1t is
understood, however, that the majority Of
the Electors elected to elect President,
are for Buchanan. Those Electors can,
however vote as they please, and the N.
Y. Herald has a despatch from Richmond,
Va, dated Nov. 18th, in whichit is assert
ed that scheme is afoot in the ultra South
to extort pro-slavery pledges more intense
than have yet been given from Mr. Buch-
anan, previous to the vote by the Electors,
or to defeat him. They have fears of the
stabilityof Mr. Buchanan on the Cincinnati
Platform, and Of the reliability of the
members of Congress elect in the North
as Democrats. But we presume this Her
aid despatch is humbug, for while itmay
possibly be the revelation Of an important
movement, tits full Of improbabilities. ~
Let it be remembered, however, that Blu
chanan is not yet elected.

Rulers, at Great Salt
day Of August, 1885,

A remarkable discovery Of title deeds Of
property, embracing some fifty thousand
acres Of land in New Jersey, besides a
large tract situated in the centre of New
York city, is reported to have been made
recently at Oswego, New York; and if the
statements made by the Palladium Of that
place are reliable, some litigation Of impor-
lance and changes of ownership may fol-
low. If there is any truth in the story
we shall doubtless hear more of it hereaf-
ter. AT any rate the narrative is interest
ing, if not reliable. It seems that at the
breaking out of the revolutionary war an
old lady, then residing upon farm now
embracing the most central part of New
York city, unwilling to encounter the
troubles incident to the approaching strug-
gle, returned to her native place in Hol-
land leaving daughter in New York,
and sons in the country, Dying soon af-
ter, search was everywhere made for the
deeds to her farm and other property in
this State and the city of New York, but
they could not be found; and amid the
disorders of the time the family was de-
prived Of their estates, and scattered in
different directions. A female relative Of
the old lady, residing near oswego, New
York, had for Longtime been in possess
sion Of an ancient chest Of drawers, upon
the bottom Of which she had observed a
large square piece Of tin. Curious to dis
cover its Use, she tore it off few days
ago, and on doing 80 discovered seven
title-deeds on parchment, in the Dutch
language, all in a perfect state Of preserva'
ton. These deeds, upon examination
proved to be the long-missing instruments
whose loss has prevented the lawful heir'
from claiming very valuable property il
New York city now held by the corpora
ton; also about fifty thousand acres of lant
in New Jersey, leased to different individ
uals in small farms for term Of ninety
nine years. which leases are now about =
expire. The necessary steps for recover
| ing all these lands will be Immediately ia
ken. -. .NesOark Daily Adp.

duty IS plain. There aEe two principa
parties in the country one issfor ua, an1
lthe other against as ~
The. Democi iatic Convention in Cincin-
matt, which nominated James Buchanan
for President, passed the following resolu-
ton:
"Resolued, That Congress- has no power
under the Constitution to interfere with OF
control the domestic institutions of the
several States, and that all such States are
the sole and proper Judges of everything
appertaining. to their own affairs not pro-
hibited by the Constitution"
This is a principle of the Democratic
party, which they have extended to Terri
tories as well as States, and the doctrine Of
squatter sovereignty applies to us in Des-
eret as well as to the settlers in Kansas and
Nebraska.
The Democratic party is the instrument,
in Gods hand, by which is to be effected
our recognition as sovereign State, with
the domestic institutions Of Slavery and
Polygamy, as established by the patriarchs
and prophets of old, under divine authori-
ty, and renewed to the saints of latter days,
through Gods chosen rulers and prophets.
In the Republican Convention assembled
at Philadelphia, which nominated John G.
Fremont for President, it was
Resolued, That the Constitution confers
upon Congress the sovereign power over
the Territories of the United States for
their government, and that in the exercise
Of that power it is both the right and the
imperative duty Of Congress to prohibit in
the Territories those twin relics of barbar-
ism, polygamy and slavery.
This is blow aimed directly at our
rights as citizens of one Of the Territories,
at our sacred institutions and our holy
religion,
Saints Of the latter days, to whom God
reveals his will through his chosen proph-
cts, stand steadfast in your faith; for the
time is at hand which was foretold by the
prophet of old, and recorded in the ancient
scriptures; "And in that day shall seven
women lay hold Of one man, and they will
say, 'letu eat of our own bread and wear
our own apparel; only let us be called BY
thy. name 70 take away our reproach. ~

EE-Another Territory, we learn, is
about to be organized by "a portion Of its in
habitants. On the first Of September, an
election was held at various points in the
Gadsen Purchase fordelegates to the Ter

erection Of an independent Territorial Gov

chosen. How much of New Mexico they
desire to have included within the new

population Of perhaps a thousand persons,
Of whom one-half are Indians, and a third

The KIND OF People WHO vorRD FOR
BUcHANAN-A good many people have ex-
pressed astonishment that there were SO
few Fremont votes in the Ninth, or Egyp-
tian district, (southern Illinois, J and that
the efforts to spread the truth there have
have been SO unavailing. The following
extract from the late census, giving the
number of adult persons who could not
read or write may explain the reason.
The population there is mostly native and
consequently the true state of society may
be inferred from these statistics:

now believe assured, or despond in our
hopes for the triumph Of freedom, they are
greatly mistaken. We consider ourselves,
in common with large number Of our
countrymen, to have gained one step in
our march to a certain success, We have
only not succeeded in accomplishing every
thing at one blow. When the Nebraska
Bill was passed, there was no party of free
dom in this country. Thewhole country was
given up to compromises. The Nebraska
Bill gave shock to the moral sense Of the
country. A new party was founded, which
in two years has only not succeeded in the
first great battle fought. In defeat, it
commands the moral strength Of the coun-
try, and will be heard with respect by any
administration which can be formed.
In losing one battle we have gained two
victories, great, real, and efficient yicto-
ries. We have compelled the dismissed of
the worst administration this country ever
knew, and compelled its successor to come
in with minority, as itnow seems in every
free State Of this Union Plaralitiss, by
the disunion of his opponents, have ena-
Died the candidate Of the Pro-Slayery party
to assume the reins Of administration.
These victories are valuable No party,
no President, can disregard the moral
weight of one half the nation. If they
could utter destruction would soon await
Them a truth which the elections Of 1854
and 1856 have demonstrated to all minds.
But we have done more than gain even
these important Victories
We have laid afoundation for the future,
which neither time nor talent can shake.
We have put the great powerful, and en-
frightened States Of New York and Ohio,
side by side,, in the cause Of Freedom. We
have added glorious New England We
have the far North West. We shall con-
tinue to battle for Freedom and Humanity,
rolling its chariot on, till we have every
State from the Atlantic to the Pacific. VIZ
again give our standard sheetto the winds,
freely, hopefully, and shall shrink from nc
duty, nor sink under any calamity, which
| finds us supporting the Liberty, and seek
ing the happiness Of Man. Cin. Gazette

nrTba Raw. nlr. MIC. ministe,

EWThe Rev. DR.. NC, minister of
Douglas in Clydesdale, was one day dining
in large party where the Honorable Hen
ry Erskine and some other lawyers were
present. A great dish Of crosses being
presented after dinner, DR.. MIC, who was
extravagantly fond Of vegetable, helped
himself much more largely than any other
person, and The ate with his fingers, with
peculiar vorasity of manner, Mr.. Erskine
was struck with the idea that he resembled
Nebuchadnezzer in his state Of condemna-
ton. Resolved to give him hit for the
apparent grossness Of taste and manner Of
eating, the wit addressed him with CDR.
NC, ye bringme in mind of the great king
Nebuchadnezzer;" and the company were
to litter at the ludicrous allusion;
when the reverend vegetable devourer re-
piled, "Ay, do Imind ye O. Nebuchadnez-
ger? That'll be because I'm eating among
the brutes!"
INDIAN SAeGo1TY.--A correspondent of
the Tribune, writing from Philadelphia,
says:
"Apropos of Gov. Floyd; when he.was
in the gubernatorial chair of Virginia, it
became his duty, as Chief Executive of the
State, to pay overa certain tribe Of Indians
a sum Of money which had been bequeath-
ed to them by a distinguished son Of Vir-
pinia. in whose veins coursed Indian blood
| The Indians assembled at the Executive
chamber to receive the money. The Gov.
ernor, of course, was bound to make 8
speech on the occasion. He commenced
grandly by saying: "Brethren-l an
proud to call you brothers, for the blood o.
the red man courses through my veins as
we'll as your own.'s Whereupon an ole
chief stepped up to the Governor, put hi
finger down the back Of the Governors

the loss efsaNiie, all other bereave1ilents
are triiies. The wife, who fills SO large a
space in the domestic heaven, she who is
SO busted, SO unwearied, bitter, bitter, is
the tear that falls on her clay You stand
beside her grave, and think Of the past; it
seems an amber covered pathway, where
the sun shone upon beautiful flowers, or
the stars hung glittering overhead. Fain
would the soul linger there. No thorns
are remembered above the sweet clay, save
those your own hand may have unwittingly
planted. Her noble, tender heartlies open
to your inmost sight. You think of her
as all gentleness; all beauty and purity.
But she is dead. The dear head that has
so often laid on your bosom, now rests on
a pillow Of clay. The hands that admin
istered SO untiringly, are faded, white and
cold, beneath the gloomy portals. The
heart whose every beat measured an eter-
nifty of love, lies under your feet. And
there is no white arm over your shoulders
now-no speaking face to look up in the
eye of love-no trembling lips to murmur
-"oh, it is too sadp' There is strange
hush in every room! No smile to greet
you at nightfall-and the clock ticks, and
ticks, and ticks! It was sweet music
when she could hear it! Now it seems
to knell only the hours through which you
watched the shadows Of death gathering
upon the sweet face. But many tale it
telleth of joys past, sorrows shared, and
beautiful words registered above. You
feel that the grave cannot keep her. You
know that she is often by your side; an an
gel presence. Cherish those emotions;
they will make YOU happier, Let her holy
presence be as a charm to keep you from
evil. In all new and pleasant connections
lgiye her a place in your heart. Never for
get what she has been to you-that she
has loved you. Be tender of her memory
