lat. 2S deg. 80 m. West, long. 93 deg. 81 m. The
Sarah Bartlett had capsized in gale five days pre-
vious. The Perseverance took from the wreck a
boy named James Van Horn, from New Orleans
and sailor known as Charley in state of extreme
exhaustion. the last named deranged. They had
elung to the wreck ever since the accident. Capt
Sanders and four men were lost.
The wreck was sunk TO the rails. The vessel after
capsizng lost her masts when she partially righted

She had specie on board, but though divers were
sent down from the Perseverance, of it could be
found II is supposed to have been lost with the
cabin The survivors stated the amount of specie at
$50 OO0 but this is more than she would probably
have carried in the trade in which she was engaged
The schooner Sarah Bartlett was new vessel, and
was owned by Capt. Sanders, whose wife resides in
this city. The boy James Van Horn is about Is
years of age, and is son of Mr.. t. D. Van Horn, Of
this office. He states that he was sleeping in the
cabin, and was awakened at about O'Clock in the
morning by the falling of lamp, thrown down. b,

getting his leg severely hurt by water cask, got
upon shelf to save himself from being crushed by
articles tumbling about. This saved his life, for al

shattered to pieces by the waves, he clung to the
shelf, and when the vessel nghted went forward and

Another Outrage upon an American Vessel.


Messrs. Barelli Co., of this city, have received
Tampco letters of the lst inst. from Mr. Franklin
Chase. our Consul at that port, and from Captain
Sbisa, OF the schooner Virginia Autometa belonging
to that firm These letters state that Captain Sbisa
after having cleared his vessel at the Tampico Gus

18th ut When sailing past one Of Garzas batteries

atey dispatched message to Garza demanding an
explanation of the affair. The reply was vague and
unsatisfactory but Cara stated that the vessel could
proceed TO sea. At the bar he was boarded by one
OF Garzas officers, who wished to search the vessel
This Captain s. would not suffer him to do, and was
accordingly informed that the schooner could not
proceed to sea without the payment of export duty
on the specie on board. Having paid all duties at
the Custom House the Captain refused this, and is
detained in consequence. The brig Stateseu is also
detained at the bar, the besiegers refusing to allow
her to 90 up to the city The Consul has written for
q manof-war.
Mr.. Chase writes that cannonade Is opened upon
the city three times day, and that the shots are
aimed at private dwellings. ball passed through
the residence of the French Consul who, with his
lady, had very narrow escape. Prompt action on
the part OF our Government would make these revo
lutonary rascals alitte careful how they trie with
the rights and lives OF American citizens but our
faith that any decided notice will be taken Of the
affair is small indeed.

BALL OF SOUTHwEsTERN LoDGE.-For want Of
room we have not sooner alluded to the very delight
fnl ball which Southwestern Lodge, No. 40, l. o. o.
F., gave last Thursday night, at Odd Fellows Hall.
The attendance was fine, and Terpsichore has seldom
received the honors Of more beautiful and gallant
assemblage Of her devotees, or honors more joy
6hsly and handsomely rendered The acquaintance
ship OF the assembly was extensive, and the cordial
spirit of the occasion perfect. 1t was therefore not
to be wondered at that the hours should fit by unno-
tced and that mornings early beam should have
the opportunity of glimmerng in upon the finale OF
the festivity. We were present several hours, and
would have been less than human had we not expe-
renced full share of the oyousness of the occasion

The FAIR AT ST. JOHN SGHo0LHOUsR.-we were
in error in stating that the popular fair on Dryades
street would close on Saturday night last-it con-
tinues throughout the present week. and will be con-
Quoted as before, in manner worthy the benevo.
lent object to which the proceeds are to be applied.
The fair ladies of the classic regions of Mepomene,
Apollo Dryades, Terp-chore Thalia, Calliope, Clio,
Erato, Hercules and Bacchus streets are not tn be
surpassed in their taste aud benevoence, and we
trust the masculine portion of the community will
see that they duly assisted and honored in their
praseworthy object.

IMPORTANT TO THE PuBLIc.-We would be negli.
gent of our duty public journalists were we to
neglect apprising our readers that DR.. Ealing the
distinguished chiropodist, is about leaving New Or
leans. To his genuine skill and great efficiency in
operating for diseases Of the feet need scarcely
advert, as his fame here is thoroughly established
and his enviabe European reputation most substanti
ally confirmed. The many evidences he has given to
our citizens Of his superior knowledge of the struct
ure OF the foot and the judgment he has displayed in
curing the most inveterate diseases to which it is
subject are conclusive proofs that his experience is
not of yesterday" Many years of study and close
application must have been expended before he
could have attained to such proficiency in the branch
Of surgical art at which he stands at the head There
are doubtless many who have neglected from various
causes to consult him, and to such we would With
confidence recommend to call on him before he leaves
the city; and we have no doubt but they will not
only be surprised but delighted with his painless,
easy and eficacions mode of treatment

removes the excitement of quarrel from
annoying others in a company, and by CIV
ing time for reflection and the Intervention
Of seconds, affords the best hope of recon.
Citation But then it makes the wrong
worse when done. A man may kill in heat,
and it is manslaughter. But let him sleep
over it, and it is murder. 1t may test his
pluck better to be able to receive shot in
cold blood, but it adds fearfully to the guilt
of firing it.
Yet it is not easy TO supersede this Gus
tom except by the working out of t,Uo prin-
ciples. One is that no man need or ought eu-
er 10 carry his rerenge further 'rith his scorsl
enemy than simply 10 decline speaking 10 him or
Of him under any circumstances This, and a
little patience, will place any man who is
in Tho wrong low onsughi e-ASeymen thus
protect themselves, and thus alone, and are
not more insulted than others. Ia the next
place, there must be the most full, legal
protection for those who have the courage
to decline fighting. But If a man is posted!
Inhict exemplary damages, and it will soon
be broken up. If public officer challenge,
especially any other officer, let it at once
exclude him from his post. If a man is
killed in duel, let his family have ample
damages and support from the property of
the survivor.

IL LIFE-The mere lapse of years is not
life. To eat, drink and sleep; TO be expos
ed 10 darkness and light: to pace around in
the mill of habits and turn the mill of
wealth 10 make reason our book'keeper,
and thought an impliment of trade this is
not life. In all this but a poor fraction OF
the unconsciousness ofhumanity is awaken
ed, and the sanctites still slumbers which
makes it worth while TO be. Knowledge,
truth, beauty, love, goodness, faith alone
can give vitality to the mechanism of exis-
tence; the laugh of mirth which vibrates
through the heart the tear which freshens
the dry wastes within, the music that brings
childhood back, the prayer that calls the
future near, the death which startles us
with mystery the hardship which forces us
to struggle, the anxiety that ends in being.
