Letter from Meridian.


FDrroRs CLARION As our town has no
organ at present, we will have to ask
lttle space in your paper TO chronicle the
raising Of a company of volunteers among
us, called the Meridian lnyincibles, who
rendered their services to the Governor
some time in April Previous to that
time a movement had been made at one
Of our nearest nelghboring villages to
raise a company which was successful, and
many of the young men from our vcn-
ity joined that company-the "Pettus
Guards, and elected Mr.. SAMUEL K. RAN
DIE their Captain, Ia most excellent selec-
tion.) This movement retarded for a
while the rapid ioremation of our com
pany, but it soon grew to respectable
numbers a large portion being from our
little town, some from West and South
east Lauderdale, and few from Newton
county. A finer looking set Of men, or a
body Of more respectable men will proba-
bly, not travel the Lincoln road"

From the London Shipping Gazette
Our correspondent refers 10 the proceedings IN
the case of the Hiawaths, of which proceedings he
was an eyewitness: 81 attended [he saysl iG Court
during the progress of the suit relating to the H1
watha and one or two others. / was mere spec
tator-that is | neither knew the owners nor any
of the persons concerned in suy one Of the ships
in question-and assure you, at least in the case
of the Hiawstha, more law points were made by
the Judge 10 endesvor to sustain the alleged run
ming the blockade, than were put forward by the
District Attorney e., the public prosecutor. We
have already expressed deliberate opinion upon
the case Of the Hiswstha and upon the judgment
of Judge Belts land have no doubt that the com
meuts of our correspondent on the conduct Of the
proceedings are quite accurate.
Judge Belts rested the case upon the right of the
President 70 proclaim blockade. and on the duty
of all men to obey such proclamation. II is for
this that Fhe Judgment in question has received the
applause Of the New York press, as not only able
but "patriotic" This is a new term a. applied to
a judicial decision and is no doubt understood IN
America if not here. 1t means that Judge Belts
hss done the wish or bidding Of those who appoint
ed him We did not require to be told, as our corr
respondent tells US the result Of his personal
periepee that "there is an obvious, an avowed ea-
9eruess on the part of officials and Judicial suthori
Ties 10 condemn British ships upon any possible le
Gal ouibbe or techuicality." Equally certain is it
that British vessels in the pursuit Of their legti-
mate trade have been boarded, searched, and occs-
sonay detained without Just grounds or that Brit

Wreck OF the North B,itOu.- No Lives
were Loaf.

MONTREAL. Nov 1.-The third cfhcsr Of ths
steamship North BritOn has arrived at Father Point
in 3 schooner. He reports that the North BritJn
struck on Parquet Island, at one o'clock on the
morning of the fifth. Il was then blowing gale.
She wss totally wrecked, but no lives were lost
The passengers and crew were landed at Port Miu-
gan. One boat with seven hands has not been
heard from since il left the boat
The North Britou sailed Saturday November %,
with ffty-one cabin and thirty-eght steersge pas
sengers from Liverpool.
The following is the statement Of Mr. Brown, ths
third officer: When the ship struck it was blowing
gale, and the weather was very thick. The ship
continued striking very hard the reef on Friday
night and all day Saturday, and it was expected
she would go to pieces every moment. A boat
with the crew broke away from the wreck before
1t was loaded, and could not be brought back untl
Tuesday morning, after daylight, when all the pass
sengers were taken of without accident and trans
ferred to two schOOners which landed them at Port
Mingsn and at a few houses about nine miles be-
low.
At Port Mingsn the passengers were all housed in
9 stOrehouse, having few blankets which were got
from the wreck 70 sleep upon.
The store rooms were all under water, causing
scarcity Of provisions. The lower cabin was all
broken up, and most Of the baggage. Only few
OF the mail bags were saved, and those were per-
fectlv saturated.

Dan Trewhltt the traitor, has written over q hall
bushel of letters from time to time, from Kentucky
to the rebelionists Of this county urging them 70
prompt decisive energetic action. he tells them that
he will come to their assistance and with an addi-
tional force of 400 men, he can take or reduce
Chattanooga, the stronghold Of corruption" to
ashes. (Of course we know that Dan will not be
in command, as he is the most pusilanimOus, cow
ardIy traitor in Lincoln's army The last message
from his Danship las we are infoEmed) was to one
Col Cliff, of this county, who is now marching
with about 500 or 1000 men, (perhaps mOre,) to
Jamestown to join the Lincoln forces as per Trew-
hits arrangement. Col Cliff left under the i'm
preston that all the bridges had been burned on the
