The correspondence now going on between
hon. VIM. L. Yancey, Of Alabama, and Mr..
Pryor, Of the Richmond South, discloses the
important fact that Yancey was an applicant
for seat in Mr. Buchanan's S cabinet, and that,
at the very time the honorable gentleman was
endeavorng to carry out his scheme for sepa-
ration Of the cotton States from the Union, he
was also candidate for q. S. senator from
Alabama.
Yancey attempted to play the same game that
a seat in PIerce's cabinet, made himself danger
GUS as secessionist, when ''poor Pierce" APP
peased him by making him secretary of war.
Yancey tried to make himself dangerous, but
no one was afraid of him, and instead of be-
coming a cabinet minister, he is only a disap-
pointed democratic Office seeker.

 When the rescued people reached the Man rice, they were kindly received by Cant Re maud and his men, who set about nroy;dinp them with clothes, and binding up their wounds. The boats were kept plying between the brig ana tile steamer until Dightfall. At that time probably from ten to twenty persons were iiangiig to the bowsprit of the steamer and the ropes suspended from it. Capt. Renaud was afraid to risk tie lives of his men in all open boat, after dark, so the good work was suspended. Soon after sunset one of the life
 boats Of the steamer. containing the first off
 cers, and about twelve others, among them
 Mr. Smith, of Chelsea, Mass, and some Swe- dish sailors. Mir. Brew aud German named Kohn, were taken from the fragments of an- other boat
 Most of the. .reseued people were nearly na- ked some of tfhein scislisrss;,s gspts Renaua
 had distributed all the clothing they had to them, reseryIng to their own use only that which they had Oil. The people saved in the iiit-boat were wet and chilled through, this l boat having been upset several times these were also furnished with suitable clothing. Capt. Rcnaud concluded to remain all night near the steamer, ani renew the search in the morning. During the night d kind of tent of old sails and spars was made on deck, uli9er which about 40 people slept Prof Glauhe,.- sklee and about l2 others laid down on the quarter-deck under another sail. All tie night Capt Rcnaud devoted himself to attending to | those persons who were burned dressing their wounds with his own hands. Of the six wo- men saved, five Of them were burned, some of them most dreadInlly some of the men were also terribly scorched
 About A. o'clock next morIing, a breeze slrang up from the north, when the bark's sails were set, and she was headed once more for the burning steamer. At aybre;k they saw Norw, gian bark near tue Austria, and one of her boats passing around the steamer
 The Maurice did not pass the bark within halllus distance, but they hailed the boat, without however receiving an answer, as she had no speaking-trumpet. As it was apparent even to the naked eye that there were no more people on the wreck nor Aoating around t, and If there had been, that the Norwegi- ans boat had picked them up, Capt. Rcnaud availed himself of the favorable breeze and proceeded on his course. He was bound iron, l Newfoundland to the Mauritius, and had about
 four months provisions ol board for a crew of
 ten or twelve persons. But as these would
 not last very l>ng for the sxty-eight just ad-
 ded to lis ships company, he concluded to
 bear up for Fayal. Subsequently they fell iu

 sor Glaubensklee and eleven others, and took
 them into Halifax, wheucc the captain of the

A NEW STYLE OF G0oDs D. W. Johnson & Co.,, No. 20 Asylum street. have just received from New
 York class of India rubber guOds never before oier
 ed for sale in this city They consist of curry eombs
 interfering straps. horse blankets, leggngs, over as, hats caps, capes, Overcoats, panaOons. boots, &c, &c All these al ticles manufactured of vul- canized rubber prepared as to be unaffected hy the severest cold a great dcsderatum in our cli- mate. For persons engaged in any pursuit Tequir- ing an exposure 10 the weather rubber coat, hat and over alls ts almost indispensable. The coats vary a price from three to ten dollars, according to their material and style. They have some mauutac- tured of aIapaca expressly for travelling and other light wear, which are reversible, making either an alapaca or an India rubber coat. These aIe very light, durable and cheap, and are quite an elegant outer garment. Being imperyious to the air they are more comfortable cold and windy day than the thickest oyercoat. For the same reason the horse blankets are valuable where horse is to be left standing in the open air. Amongst the most useful articles that noticed were India rubber aprons intended for the use of ice-men and others who are obliged to lean against damp dirty iur- face. They keep the clothing perfectly clean ard never have to '' go into the wash" We would re- fer our readers to Mir. Johnson's advertisement in another column. and advise them to call and exam inc these unique and useful gouds.
 They have also great variety of the latest styles of patent baby carriages of the most beautiful fas ions and finish. These ornamental wagons are mus'h prettier lighter and more desirable than the s'll fashioned wicker concerns and are fast coming into general appreciation and use.
 The principal business of D. w Johnson & Co b the manufacture of trunks and other travelling fur niture and we know of no place in the Union Wher6 better made articles can be found They always giva entire satisfaction both regards the price and the finish and cordially recommend them to the blic-Hartford Courdf.

FEARFUL Acc1DENT-A Horse Dragging e Dead Body for 1Aree Heehs .-Eary m August, John Kowle, lad of l6 years, living in VoIcana, Amador County, who had Sainly attempted to obtain his fathers consent to go to Fraser River, disappeared, taking with h'm valuable horse belonging to the family. It was supposed that he had started for Frazer River, and so little anxiety was felt in regard to him. On the 18th of,August his body was found in Butte Ditch, a few miles east of Jack son, attached by "lariat'' to a half dead horse. From appearances, the boy on the night after leaving home, lay down to sleep with the horse tied to his person, to prevent his escape. The animal became un,nanagea- ble through fright during the night, had run of, and dragged his master by the rope until the boys life was extinct. Afterwards the horse had continued to graze around, dragging the body along for three weeks. Finally, the corpse had been draggedinto the ditch, where it became entallgled beyond the horses streng gth to extricate it. In his efforts to pull loose. the horse had cut his neck to the bone with the rope. The boys remains were horribly mutiated. Most of his limbs were broken, and the flesh rubbed bare from the bone.

The speaking occupied about two hours of an evening, and was listened to with deep interest by Sleghted audience, Each pesformed his part ueil Ain some instances clicting the surprise and admiration of the listener. Masters D. and II. Tom linson, of New York, D. and J. S. Marble of Chicago, H. L, Beach, Bellows, Mccall, A. Schack, R. Kim bail, Franklin Doughty and Little, all to, rart in tfe exercises of the evening, and each in his turn was greeted with applause J. Crossman, in addi- tion to the piece assigned him on the programme recited .'Ihe Fireman" with characteristic energy and good effect. "Individual Effort" by John Booth was spoken with clear and distinct voice and with delberation and manlincss. and ir fact one of the best performances of the occasion George Jones and Clarence Deming (both of Litch tied lads not than eight years of age recitec their pieces well and with little show of embarrass rent. The subject of the first was 'The Ocean, while the latter repeated The Light Brigade" b, Tennyson Antony Address to Caesar, by Ru dolph Schack of New York, was admirably done Indeed the exhibition as a whole and in detail, re
 ected the highest credit upon the ability, skill and of the principal and assistants of Elm Park.

Large donations have been made, and the Institution [nnder the patronage af tlseaState] will be an Important one The belief of those engaged in tbc matter is that drunkenness is disease requiring medical treatment, as much as cases of insanity.
 Tine progress of this enterprise will be watch ed with much interest That it has enlisted the good will of the public and that much is hoped from it, is evident from the fact that such men as Edward Everett, Daniel s. Dick ilson, Benjamin F. Butler, and Rev. Dr Bel lows were present and took part in the ccre- monies. Thousands of people were iu atten- dance.
