Additional of the Central America.

SAVANNAH, Sep 18.-Henry Ii. Childs, one Of the
passengers above named, makes statement follows
The Central America left Havana on Tuesday, the
8th with delightful weather, which had been the
from Aspnwall. During the afternoon fresh breeze
sprang up and on the next morning amounted to gale
which continued to increase throughout Wednesday, and
for part of the time accompanied with heavy rain. On
Thursday the gale changed to hurricane, and the
was rolling very high This storm continued, and on
Friday about IL i. NJ, it was well known to the
passengers that the vessel had sustained leak which
threatened to fill rapidly. All hands were put to the
pumps in relief parties and for while gained far
to allow rekndng of fire in the engine room which had
been quenched by the water.
This gain was soon lost, and the fires again extn-
guished The work of bailing went on over the ship
throughout Friday evening and night the passengers
and keeping good hearts and hoping that with day
light they would speak some vessel ...- ...t. .
About 2 P NJ, on Saturday, the storm abated and a
calm ensued and this continued the hopes of ALL and
nerved them for the work of bailing.
At4 p. M., a sail was announced, and the steamship
fired signals and displayed colors at half mast. This
proved to be the brig Marine of Boston, which came
up and spoke so as to receive our report and then laid
off mile The steam ship had but three boats left, liz
to which all the women and children put, and
transferred to the brig. Later in the evening another
sail was seen fast approaching at ala a.
Captain HERNDoN reported his condition, and asked

4 Battle Incident.

At the battle of the Thames laughable incident oc
cured which is thus related by one who was in the en-
gagement ..
The British General had formed his men in open or
der, with their pointing down the road by which
the Americans were advancing Gen. Harrison imme
dlatey took advantage of this and ordered Col John
son mounted regiment to charge at speed by heads Of
companies so as to expose the least possible 'front.' pass
through the open intervals and form the rear of the
British forces This movement brilliantly executed
by the battalion under the command of 1t Col James
Johnson his brother Col. r. NJ. Johnson at the same
time charging the Indians with the other battalion.
1t happened that in of the companies under James
Johnsons command there was huge, bravney fellow
named Lamb; he weighed about 24O lbs, was q brave
man, and as good humored as big-brave men proven
blaly are. Lamb had broken down his Kentucky horse
by his great weight, and was mounted instead, upon
short stout, Wild Canadian poney from whose sides his
long limbs depended almost to the ground while his bull
ky frame rose high above the beastooking not unlike
an OverSrown boy astrdc of a rough sheep.
When the charge was made, Lambs pony took fright,
and broke into run Lamb pulled until the bit broke
in the animals mouth, and all command of him was
lost The little pony stretched himself as to the work.
ashcd out of the ranks soon outsrpped all the flelead
Crs and pushed on in advance of the company Lamb
longer master of his horse himself and he
in quandary If he rolled off he would be tramped to
death by his friends if the horse rushed upon the Brit
ish lines with him. so far ahead Of the rest he must be
killed Either way death seemed inevitable; and to
use his expression he thought he'd iist say something
they could tell his friends in Kentucky when they went
home
He stuck both heels into the ponys anks and urged
him to his utmost speed. On they drove, some fifty
yards in front Of the leading file Lambs gigantic person
swaying from side to side and his legs swinging in a
most portentous fashion-the little Canadian pulling
foot all he knew how, his tail strait his nosris dstend
ed, his ears pinned back and his eyes flashing from
der their shaggy oretop, with all the spite and spleen Of
born devil Just as he got within stride or two Of
the British Lamb hourshcd his rifle and roared out in
voice of thunder Clear the way, Cd d-n you!
for I'm coming"
To his surprise the lines opened right and left and
ishnen at the strange apparition of such rider and
such horse moving upon them, with furious velocity,
that they opened mechanically at his word of command
and let him pass So as he gained the of their
position, Lamb rolled Oh the grass and suffered his pony
to go on his own road. A few minutes more and he
was with his comrades securing the prisoners.

A BITTER LESSON. --Mechanics who have
heretofore had good wages and steady en-
ployment and yet expended all they made, are
having bitter lesson administered which may
not be unproductive of beneficial results. The
great majority of the American people always
live up to their income whatever it may be-
Many who managed to live on seven dollars per
week few years ago, now expend $40 and
Sl2, and if they were paid $50 it would be all
used as rapidly as earned. There is petty
spirit of rivalry among the families of mechan-
les as we'll as among those of merchants and
professional men, which is productive of much
evil, kading hundreds and thousands TO live
above their incomes, and finally involving them
in difficulty. like to see mechanics and
laborers live snug'y and comfortably, but at
the same time, every one should not only live
within his income but endeavor to save some
thing when work is abundant and fair prices
are paid therefore, so that he may be in
position to live a fewweeks in case of sickness,
accident, or a suspension of business. There
should not be niggardly stintIng nor wanton
waste but judicious and prudent economy
that turns everything to the best account. In
short something should be laid by every week,
let the amount be ever so small, and at the end
OF the year the sum will be found NOT to be so
inconsderable. Fifty cents a week amounts
to $26 in the year, 81 to $50, and 50 to Sl04.
Hundreds who lay by nothing, could easily
save the latter sum, particularly young men, if
they would make the effort. The amount
squandered by this class, is almost inconceiya-
BILE, and the result is that many who might ac-
cumulate handsome competency, remain
poor as long as they live. Ten years of well
directed effort on the part of single man
would enable him to engage in almost any kind
of business, and instead of being an employee
be an employer. Ifhe preferred, however, TO
continue as a journeyman, he could purchase
a house or invest his money as to yield a
handsome return, and add to his yearly income.
If men would save what is worse than wasted,
In drinking rum or INDUCING in the lesser
vices of chewing and smoking, and going on
excursions or parades, we should hear far less
complaint of poverty, want, Wretchedness, and
demands for work or bread. Hereafter We
hope to witness more thrift and economy, and
If such be the case the present suspension will
not have been without some beuea:.
