Further Concerning the Disaster.

According to letters received from Hat
'eras Inlet, Gen Burnside did everything
possible for bis men and vessels. He was
full Of hope, sympathy and thong htful-
ness lie refused to take rest, exclaiming !:
" The contractors hare ruined me, bet God
holeS me an Has palm, and all will yet be
we'll"
1t is charged that some of his captains
tried 10 wreck the vessels in order to
make profitable sale TO the Government.
Several instances occurred of Infamous
hardheartedness towards eath other.
The steamer Poeahontas, having 113
splendid horses belonging to the Rhode
Island battery en- board, is a total wreck.
During the gale she blew ont her boiler,
which was patched. ard broke her steer
ing gear. Her 81 okepipe blew down, and
a leak was sprung, and finally the hulk ran
ashore.
Drunkenness and disorder prevailed
aboard her. All the horses but twenty
four were lost, but no men This vessel
was worthless craft. built in 1929. She
was chartered from Baltimore. M;srepre
sensations as to draft of water both pesees-
ed by and required by vessels were made
to Burnside, who suspects bot few as
traitors aboard.
Great Indignation prevailed in conse-
qnence Of frauds in purchases and charter
ing Of transports.
