the spreading of any disease, the captive
crew was landed yesterday at Castle Pinck-
ney. This step was taken, of course, by
authority, and with the consent of all con-
ccrned, and the transfer was made by the
steamer Gen. Clinch, chartered for that
purpose by James Conner, Esq, United
States District Attorney. A guard, de-
tailed from the United States forces iii this
command, has been assigned to Castle
Pinckncy
AS the -Africans passed from the steamer
to Castle Pinckney wharf, they presented
a sad and affecting sight, which was closely
observed by all present. Many were re-
duccd to walking skeletons, and some eyi-
IDENTITY In dying condition. A few cases
indicated dropsies, and there were instan-
ccs of hernia. Some also exhibit traces of
other diseases, but goodly number were
apparently in health. Many of them arc
very young.
Sixteen scamen of the captured crew
were brought up to the city in the steam-
tug Aid, and have been lodged in jail, un-
der charge of the United States Marshal.
They are ablc-bodicd and fine looking sea-
mcn-thc profits of this trade being suffi-
cicnt to secure the best crews.
Others of the crew who were expected
by the Catawba did not arrive, and two of
the crcw-a German and Il Portugese-are
at large at Key West.
The Captain-or the one supposed to have
been in command of the Echo--is still q
prisoner in the Dolphin, and will probably
be taken to Boston for trial.

ter, which it says is from reliable source, to the
effect that Mr.. Loba has just made his escape from
Salt Lake City and reports the Saints in condi-
ton quite different from that which has heretofore
been currently stated. He does not believe they
will fight the u S. soldiers, if the latter 60 in num-
bers sufficient to be at all formidable He says they
have no powder, no cannon, no military stores OF
any kind ana that all the stories of their having
large force perfectly drilled and ready for service
are all nonsense. The whole number of their men
capable of being good soldiers does not exceed $500

ly to the Southern characteristics of any Of that class
Of public speakers whose oratory is the reflex Of their
more frigid cline and colder temperament. His
style is coored by the hues of fancy quickly excited
to action by natural or moral beauty-by what u
graceful in art benefcent in science. lofty in passive
rather than active courage by what is noble in pat.
riotism and self sacrificing. His 'Oration on Wash.
ington gave numerous tokens Of this high appreca-
ton of intellectual and moral elevation But It Was
more than this. in certain passages II glowed
with fires Of that enthusiasm that kindied q conta.
gion in listening multitudes-that warmed up rapt
auditors to pitch of kindred excitement and wide
spread sympathy
Accordingly this appears to have been the impres.
sion produced by Mr.. Everett's Grafton on Wash.

dazzling by profusion Of imagery. II was rich in
poetcsi phrase and felicitous combinations OF Ian
guage, without meritricious diction II was morally
beautiful from highly cultivated sense of truth and
right. II was orderely from PERCEPTION Of fitness
and propriety. The parts were nicely adjusted and
the lights and shadows harmoniously blending, like
those Of judicious historical picture because from
the constitution Of Mr.. Everetts mind he could have
written other description Of discourse But that
he is capable Of stirring the depths Of passion, and OF
awakening in the popular heart those pulsstions
which give back to mpassioned eloqnence the tribute
of tears there significant testimonies last night
There were among that numerous auditory those
that acknowledged the full supremacy Of that cuti-
waited ability aud scnsibty excellence which ia,
not only the real well spring of intellectual influence

The Coalition.

The opposition to the Democratic party in this
State is composed of the odds and ends ofncongrui
ties all bunglngy welded together by the sot.sorder
of the humbug distribution. DispairIng Know Moth
ings and disappointed, dsorganizng Democrats are
endeavoring make common cause not for the pur-
pose or with the expectation Of getting their shares
of the public lands but with hope that they may
he able to distract and divide the Democratic party
and with reckless indifference to the conse-
quences, so that they obtain power and place. -
II few-a very few-of these incongrui,ies seem
to have assumed the special power Of bringing out
an opposition candidate for Governor against Judge
Ellis, the regular democratic nominee. Messrs.
Venable and McRae have been in consultation with
Mr. Syme, the editor of the Register, and the arch
enemy of the Democratic party. The coalition ap-
pears to be formed among the gentlemen just named,
together with Mr. Arlington Of Nash, TO say moth
ing of MIR. L. N. B. Battle fourth corporal to Mr..
Arlington. These few arrcgate to themselves the
privilege Of selecting of their own number
candidate for Governor, and the standard bearer
of the Know Nothing American-Whig Distribution
fragments. The impression here now is, that Mr..
McRae will be the candidate. 1t is understood that
Mr.. Venable declined positively but pledged his CO.
operation; and we learn that he last week declared
himself distribution candidate to represent Gran
vile county in the next House of Commons. Mr..
Arlington will no doubt "go bobbing around, ;" and
do what little he can for the coalition candidate,
while Mr. Battle will hold himself in readiness to be
useful whenever opportunity occurs, and Mr.
Syme's place in the programme will be to keep up
general cIatter by ringing thousand and one
changes distribution in general and North-Caro.
\linas share in particular.
NS6ch is the tremendous power now being brought
to bear upon the compact ranks Of the Democratic
party; and really reminds one of the little bull
that attacked the locomotive Perhaps less courage
is displayed but in point of judgment the difference
is small.
Ii has not been long since Messrs Venable and
Battle were members of Democratic Conventions
thereby giving in their adhesion to Democratic prin
cipes and usages. But little while ago MIR. McRae
accepted office under Democratic administrations
Scarcely vet have the echoes Of Mr.. Symes denun
cations against foreigners and Catholics died away
and now they all mingle in coalition against th'
Democratic party renegades from their former pc
sitions. For such men the Democratic party has al
iron heel
All we have to do is 10 maintain our organization
adhere to our long tried and approved principles
and our nominee will count his majority by tens Q
thousands. +
