FROM WASHINGTON.

WAsHIEGToF, June 4.
The following has been received by
Secretary Welles, dated United States
ship Deeota, Gulf Of Mexico, May 18th,
1868:
SR:-I have the honor to inform you
that yesterday noon I discovered the
smoke Of q steamer and steered for it soon
after. We made the steamer at G o'clock.
She stopped and two boats pushed off from
her, carrying her officers and crew. i'm
mediately lowered boat and took one Of
the boats containing her principal officers,
whom I held as security for the
lives OF my own men, and then
boarded the steamer. As soon as
the boats had got alongside Of her the
flames burst out as I had anticipated az
ter having had the assurance that there
was no danger Of her blowing up, I went
near enough to the burning ship to lead
our hose on board, but all efforts to sup
press the flames were unavailing, and by
sunk beneath the waves Of the Gulf in lat
itude 2S;47o, longitude 87:5So.
It is estimated upon reliable authority
that the cargo was worth, in Havana,
100000, and if landed in Alabama would
have been worth a million and quarter.
I have her officers and crew on board, and
shall deliver them 20 the authorities at
Key West.

NAsHIhGTOA, June 4Lns
A telegram was received tonight, ex-
traeted from the Richmond Sentinel Of the
Sd inst, as follows:
JACKSON, June 1st.-General Grant de-
manded the surrender Of Vicksburg on
Thursday, giving three days to General
Pemberton to consider the demand. Gen
eral Pemberton replied that he did not
want fifteen minutes, and that the troops
would die in the trenches before they
would surrender.
The enemy's gunbOats fire heavy shot at
the city. Port Hudson is invested. The
gentleman who forwarded this dispatch to
the Government adds: There is nothing
in the Richmond Examiner Of the 4th.
Dispatches have been received directly
from General Grants army, of the 28th,
29th, SOth and 31st ultimo, and while they
mention the progress Of the siege, they say
nothing Of any assault on the 2lst and
25th, which last was not very heavy. Our
troops are represented as being in good
health and spirits. There was not any
immediate danger on Grants rear. GEN
eraI Banks had Port Hudson invested.

RELIGION OUR COMFORT.

often feel sad when my mind runs apace,
TO the home of my youth-that ever loved place
When think o. the loved ones that oft gathered there
To kneel at the hearthstone and offer up prayer.
Yes. sad, when / think that that circle no more
Wen ALL meet together-as often before
Wen all offer prayer at the same altar-Home-
Or rejoice there iHhope of the life that's to come.
But still, though I'm sad, my heart will rejoice,
To ieel that those loved ones do ALL with one voice,
Still pray to high heaven, for each one q seat,
When our sins are forgiven, at Jesus feet.
OF yes, though I'm sad, sweet comfort destroys
And often turns sadness and gloom into joys;
For the christians hope-thoEgh from friends he be
riyen-
Makes for US here often a ~foretaste Of heaven.
If the Lord is our strength, our hope and our all,
1t matte S not when or where we shall fall;
Let US die on the field in blood if ~forgiv'n,
We then can rejoice in the prospect OF heav'n.
When thus 1 am parted from the ones I love best.
What cares and deep anguish would torture my breast
Were l lot assured that my friends and my wife,
Are seeking repose in the same christian life.
Why then need you care, if I suffer contempt?
No chrRtian, in life, from this is exempt:
Come let US rejoice Tor the days are but few,
Till thepoor christian soldier will get honor due.
For Goo will be judge, our cause He'll maintain,
And The christian He'll free from sorrow and pain

EARTHQUAKE AT GUATEMALA letter
from Guatemala gives an interesting descrip-
ton Of an earthquake which occurred there
on the 18th of December last. The quaking
and Trembling of the earth commenced about
seven o'clock in the morning, while nearly
all the population were in the streets, march
ing churchward, with music and other proud
display; suddenly the music ceased, and all
was quiet except the buzz of the praying
~popuhce, in a h~alf-audible tone, calling up
on Mary and all the imaginable saint. for
deliverance. Probably half were upon their
knees, many upon their faces, and the rest
staggering like tipsy people towards their
homes. .The earth's crust was agitated like
a teakettle cover when the water has a su-
perabundance Of heat. The rumbling con-
tinued but two or three mimi ties, but in that
time the wall and frame of every house was
cracking and creaking, and it is said that
the clappers of some church bells struck
merely from the undulating motion of the
earth. Antigua" a few leagues from Gaute-
mala, and which was twice before shaken to
dust, is again in utter confusion from similar
