A correspondent, writing from Sebastopol
under date of November 5, says:
We had terrible excitement on board one
day last week. One of the divers, Harris, the
English marine spoken of BEFORE a frst-rate
fellow, and bold as lion goes down examining
the outside OF the ship on which they are at
work He had been forward and was going aft,
along the bottom, in sixty feet Of water, when
he suddenly signaled for more air, and though
the pressure was instantly increased, two more
signals for air, and to come up followed in
rapid succession, and then ceased all reply to
signals given. Thinking the fault was in the
air-Pump, the speed was increased until pipe
bursting near the engine showed that the hose
was foul. Then shouted to the other party i'm
rowb boat at little distance to come to the
rescue, that diver was brought up by his tend
ers, and they commenced rowing for the steam
er. Meanwhile, poor Harris made no more re-
sponse to the anxious signaling of his tenders,
and they had tried in vain to haul him up; the
lifeline was also foul. The pump was kept
slowly in motion, but no bubbles came up from
the water, and we knew that no air was reach
ing him. The boat was coming as fast as
possible, but thought it never would arrive
At last they came alongside. The divers he'll
met was closed, strong hands worked rapidly
and silently, and in an instant he was lowered
out of sight, the hose of his sufocating compan-
ion in his hand, There was an interval of two
or three minutes of fearful suspense, in which
no word was spoken by any of the score of men
gathered there, save one whisper. 1t must be
too late Suddenly second column of rising
air-bubbles appeared. The hose lie cleared =
he has air, several voices spoke eagerly.
"Then followed the signal for rising, and up
they eame-poor Harris all stark and motion
less. Stop the pump, he is dead, said one,
unscreying the eye-glass through which he saw
the CHASTITY countenance and frotby lips. But
the cold air striking his livid face, the eyelids
half opened and closed again. He is aliven
they all cried joyfully, and removing the un-
slightly helmet and dashing water on his head
and breast, he presently began to breathe per-
ceptibly, and after an hours diligent rubbing
from many 8 rong and willing hands as
could get around him, be began to come to con-
sciousness. He suffered great pain for hours
in the head and breast, but is now altogether
recovered, and diving as usual"

party of seventeen, composed of the Wards and
their friends, attacked the Jail and attem pied
to rescue the prisoner. The people now gath
cred from all quarters and drove back the res
