1t is remarkable fact, says the New

1t is remarkable fact, says the New
York Herald, that the men last rescued
had drifted on their frail support nearly
sac hundred miles from. the spot where
the steamer sunk, before they were rescu-
ed dreary voyage-whose terrors, with
a protracted and agonizing death staring
them in the face, no one but themselves
can realize. After enduring the most
terrible sufferings ON the open sea for nine
days, without food or water, drenched by
the waves, exhausted from exposure, re-
duced to skeletons By starvation, and ten
of their number having persisted, they
were mercifully snatched from death in
the darkest hour of despair.
One of them, Mr.. Triee, the second
engineer, was drifting on a plank for II
hours, when cspying one of the damaged
life-boats, he fortunately succeeded in
reaching it, and soon after fell in with
the other two, Grant and Dawson, cling
ing to the hurricane deck of the steamer,
and took them off
MR.. GRANTS STATEMENT.
From the ". y Herald
Our reporter visited Mr.. Grant at his
house, yesterday afternoon, and there
found him in the heart of his family, sur
rounded by three or four female friends,
and so entirely changed in dress end APP
pearance that he was scarcely recognized
AZ the same person whom he saw at Cas-
tie Garden in the morning, he having
donned an entire new change of wearing
apparel, and otherwise corrected and
amended his toilet. His wife did not for
some time after hearing of his safety,
believe it, and was at first quite indig-
nant with the person who informed her
of the fact, thinking that he was trihing
with her feelings, and not being able to
see how he could have possibly been sa-
we'd. When he was at length driven to
the door in a carriage, and she became
satisfied that he had really been saved,
her joy and expressions of satisfaction
and thankfulness, as may we'll be conceiy-
cd, were unbounded What was Joy to
her however, proved to be utter grief an /
woe to another poor woman on the same
floor with her, named Wilson, whose hus-
band was one Of those lost by the wreck.
The news of Mr.. Grants safety fell like
thunder clap upon her, and upon learn
ing that he had no intelligence from her
husband, she swooned away, and eontin-
ued from one fainting fit to another, for
several hours, before she could command
sufficient strength to resist her feelings.

Party Politics.

How many men seem. to be acting with
party, asking rich, fat Office for their
reward for their services, and, when fail
ing to get their demands, Immediately boil
ting the party. Have certain men claims
On other men for Office for doing right?
True we all feelthat men can and might re-
ward us for good and Trustworthy deeds
in the cause Of justice, but do all men
get their just deserts in this world?
We need great reform in political
parties What violeut, unreasonable,
and dishonest spirit is exhibited by so
many party publications Low, vulgar,
offensive epithcts are frequently spread
over th:se partisan sheets, which are cir
cuIatcd rs family newspapers" and the
young and rising generation are RECALLED
weekly with scandslous vituperation and
indecent epithets. To raise the moral
tone of political parties, to make prinei-
pie the irst object, and all aspirations,
political at least, subserycnt to principle,
should be the object of all politicians.
We have too many political demagogues
and too much political dishonesty. We
need reform, and let US have it. Let
good liberal-lninded men take hold Of
this matter, and compel political dishon-
esty to close its mouth and induce the
people to discountenance all rillainy in
political matters az well As elsewhere
Let US have more publications laboring
for the good of the human race, and new
er hositating to denounce an evil in what
sver form it may be found We do not
expect thorough reform at once, but
partial one may be very soon made, aud
let us never be weary in well-dong. Flu
ture generations will appreciate our labors
and We may terminate our existance here
with the conviction that We have tried
TO do cur duty.
