She corroborates the statements of her husband
concerning the conduct of the prisoner after the
murder, and gives evidence concerning the decla-

The Central America Disaster.


The circumstance that the Central America
was the George Law under new name has given
rise to some discussion IA to the propriey Of
changes. She was not liked by many who had
sailed in her Ii Is stated that Rev. DR.. Happier
sett one Of the secretaries Of the Board Of Do
mestic Missions Of the Presbyterian Church, sent
message home that he should leave California
OH a certain day, provided the George Law was
not the connecting steamer this side Of the line
The George Law was the connecting steamer, but
disguised as the Central America, and his friends
are uncertain whether DR.. Happersett has thus
been allured to his death or not 1t Is remem-
bered that the steamer Norfolk which foundered
In Chesapeake bay, was the old Penobscot She
first ran between Boston and Bangor; having
been much used and worn, she came to the Della
ware river, and was put on the line between Phil
adelphia and New York. Ii Is remar kable that
the only two steamers lost In the late storm were
those which had changed their names. The old
law which made it obligatory to have an act Of
Congress for this purpose ought to be again en-
forced.
Hope is yet entertained Of the safety Of Lieut..
Herndon Mr.. Easton, now In New York went
down with Herndon, and rose near him and Van
Rensselaer,. He spoke to him after he rose
Herndon had on a good cork life preserver, as is
known to several passengers-Mr. Jones, one of
the survivors, seeing him with Ii on. Mr. Van
Rensselaer, was devoted to Herndon, sunk and
with him, and declared he would not leave
him. Herndon, II Is believed, was seen on a
piece Of the wreck some time AFTER he was sepa-
rated from Easton, and with his life preserver
there Is ground for hope. Moreover, lights were
seen in the neighborhood Of the wreck after the
Marine left.
The New York papers blunder very strangely
over the number so far reported to have been
saved from the wreck. The Tribune puts the
number at 100, the Herald at 1865, and the Times
at ls2, and each Of these papers give an alpha
betical list Of names supporting these figures.
There have been none ed except by the bark
Ellen and the brig Marine, and the number
brought In by these vessels was, as reported by
their captains, 100 in the brig and 40 in the bark
total lI9. . . .. =

SPIRIT or THE MORNING PRESS.
The Union publishes aninteresting biOgraph-
icaI sketch of General (Baron) Steuben, of Rev
dictionary fame, the occasion being the recent
proceedings of the Germans of Richmond, Va,

The Union also moralizes over the inevita-
bility of Republican party inanciering when in
power, as last illustrated by the fact that al
ready the Republican party government of New
York have reduced the credit of the State so
low as that she cannot borrow the money neces-
