A Washington correspondent Of The Times
says:
Little doubt now exists in the minds of
the knowing ones that the Pres, dent is can
didste for denomination. He has thrown his
pledges to the dogs, and in q few months will be
openly in the field. Tie Bright clique have
been busy in persuadhg him to this course.
DespairiDg of electing one of their number,
they have centred on the old man, as the best
means by which their present control of the
Government can be prolonged. They have
persuaded him that Northern man must be
run, and that Douglas is the only stumbling
block to the successful result of his wishes.
This has served to impaft an additional sharp.
ness to the rancor with; which the President is
making his minions pursue theT' little giant.
He has always hated Douglas, bat this last
idea has added the green eye of jealousy, i'm.
posing fresh poison in tie venom of his heart"
In several of the Congressional districts of
the city of New York. she Republicans have
appointed committees Of conference to meet
similar committees from other organic atoms
that oppose the present Administration.
The Republicans of he tenth Congressional
district of Massachusetts, nominated Charles
Delano for Congress on the fifteenth ballot.
DR.. Chaffse, the present member, was also a
candidate for the nomination.

Halifar, Sept. 27.-The burnt steamer fell
in with at sea was the steamer Austria. Twelve
of the rescued passengers have arrived here,

tria, which left Hamburg on the 4th instant,
and which was burnt at sea on the 18th inst
A passenger reports that a little after two
o'clockSon the afternoon of the 18th instant a
dense volume of smoke burst from the after en-.
trance to the steerage. The speed of the
steamer was instantly slackened one half, at
which speed she continued until her magazine
exploded, when the engineers, it is supposed
were instantly suffocated. The fire next burst
through the heights amidships, travelling aft
with fearful rapidity. A boat was let down on
the port side, but it was instantly crushed An
other boat on the starboard side was swamped,
from the numbers rushing into it. All the first
cabin passengers were on the poop, excepting
a few gentlemen, who must have been smoth.
cred in the smoking room.
Many Of the second cabin passengers were
also on the poop, but a number were shut in the
cabin by the fire. Some were pulled up
through the veutilators, but the greater number
persisted in the flames. The last woman who
was drawn up said six were already suffocatsd
Several men and women on the poop deck
jumped into the sea by twos and threes. Some
women were already wrapped in flames. Others
hesitated to jump till driven at the last moment
by the advance of the flames. In half an hour,
not soul was left on the poop.
The French barque Maurice, Capt. Ernest
Remand, came alongside at five o'clock, and
rescued forty passengers, who were chiefly
taken from the bowsprit, but some were found
struggling in the water. At eight o'clock, one
of the metallic boats came up with twenty-five
persons, including the first and third officers.
Subsequently,, four men were picked up floating
on piece of a broken boat. The second off.
Ger was afterwards rescued from the water.
Both he and the third officer were severely
hurt. Many of the male passengers are fright
fully burnt. Six women only we're saved, three
of whom are shockingly burnt.
A Norwegian barque went alongside the
steamer next morning, and sent boat. She
may have picked up a few persons. The barque
Maurice had no communication with her.

scrlbes visit to the residence of the poet
Whittier:
Amesbury, a 81. all manufacturing village
about fifty miles east of Boston, is situated in
the midst OF the romantic scenery of eastern
Massachusetts. Around us the balls lift their
lofty heads, and the green meadows smile at
their feet as if worshipping in Joy their glorious
grandeur-while the Merrimac winds its silvery
way in their midst, toward old ocean, which, at
short distance, sings its monotonous song
forever and ever
"In little cottage, surrounded by wavi2g
trees, lives the Quaker poet, Whittier, one Of
New Engand's choicest bards and from this
quiet spot have gone forth those songs of labor
and freedom which have made his poetry so
popular, although his opinions on some sub
Jects may be acceptable but to few. He is
grave, quiet looking man, with an intellectual
countenance, and one of the 6rmest, most express
sive mouths L ever met with. 1t is the at
tractive feature OF his face, on meeting him !;
the idea OF intellectual power and firmness
would at once suggest itself, while his plain
garb but adds to the effect"
