sr Thel British steamer Vesuyius, from
st. Johns, n. f., for Boston, on the 10Th at
midnight, on the northeastern part of Georgia
Bank, during thick fog, came into collision
with the ship Joseph Holmes, Capt. Crosby,
from Boston 18th, for Rio Janeiro, striking
her on the starboard side and cutting her
down to the waters edge. The Yesuyius took
her in tow and brought her into port. AL
though the ship received a pretty hard blow
she leaks but slightly. The steamer only lost
bowsprits.

LEA California correspondent of the Ban
gor Jeflersonian says the newly elected Gov
ernor of that State Gov. Lowe) is native OF
Belfast in this State. and that he is deservedly
popular and will make an excellent governor.
We have no doubt on that point. Maine men
generally make good governors, especially il
their politics happen to be right. We are not
at all anxious for the honor of the State that
Henry W. Paine, Maine "boy," should be
elected Governor Of Massachusetts, as another
Maine "boy," of whom we are proud, runs
against him.

This work is acquiring wide reputation. 1t
has been not appropriately styled the Amer

and in the list of writer's we notice such names

perhaps equal merit.

From Charleston - Suspicious More,,ients Of
Rebel Troops.
NEW YORK, Oct. -.
A Folly Island letter to the Herald says:
Within the past week a movement among
the rebel troops on James Island has been dis
cernabe. Long lines of wagons have been
observed passing Secessionyille, and going
toward the city, and through the woods be-
yond We have made out volume of dust.
indicating pretty clearly the march of COL
umn of infantry. Increased watchfulness on
the part of our pckets has failed 10 discover
anything in the shape of an attacking force
1t may be that Bragg is calling to his aid
portion OF the army about Charleston.
The Tribune's Folly Island letter says moth
ing whatever of interest has occurred the past
week. There has been little firing on either
side. The Confederates appear to be waiting
the opening of Gen. Gilmore's guns on the
city. In the mean time they are not idle,
new battery having belched forth its thunder
from James Island, proving that they are still
adding to the number of the Notifications.
1t is stated that the rebels have several rams
in Pocotaligo River. which causes no little I'M
easiness in regard to our vessels in Port Royal
harbor. 1t is proposed to place number of
torpedoes across the stream to prevent their
egress.
A Morris Island letter to the Times, of the
18th, stat IS that during the past three or four
days there has been but little firing on either
side. The enemy is evidently waiting for the
iron-clads to come up, for which event he is
reserving his ammunition
Admiral Dahlgren, a short time since, ex-
pressed his determination to an officer high in
rank, to go up to Charleston on the next trial,
or else assure himself that the iron-clads are
unequal to the task. This will enhance the
excitement of the conflict, and do much to-
ward settling the dispute as to the amount of
work the iron-elads are capable of performing.
1t is believed that James Island is occupied
by 5000 rebel troops. Sullivan's Island is
supposed to be occupied by about the same
number. In the immediate vicinity of Charles
ton are quartered 10000 men, making an ag-
gregate force of about 20,00C.

The Port Royal correspondent of the Herald
under date of the 18th, says;
The steamboat Boston. Capt. Faircloth,
from St. Augustine and Eernandina, reports
that a small side-wheel tug, loaded with cot
ton, turpentine and resin, in charge of lieu
tenant and prize crew from the gunboat Ito
ga, Commander Cleary was lying at St Au-
gustine, 'wooding up, on her voyage to Bos-
ton. She was captured about ten days since,
off the Bahama banks, after a short chase by
the Tioga, which had run into smooth water
to paint ship in a place rarely visited by our
blockaders. On board were found 225 bales of
cotton, some turpentine and a few barrels OF
resin, besides about $4,000 in gold, and with
which the owners, who were captured on her,
proposed to purchase new vessel for their
trade. All OF these valuable articles were
taken possession of and the vessel ordered to
Boston for condemnation. The prize was for
merly tug-boat on the Savannah and St.
John rivers, under Capt. Freeboro, who is
still captain and part owner, She ran ont OF

CORNWALL.

The death of Geo. W. Beardsley, Esq, ei this town, which occurred of an abscess formed upon the liver, after an illness of + weeks, on the 3lst of March, seems to require more than passing notice. He was young man, as many of our Cornwall readers know, of unusual robustness of frame and vigor of constitution, whose prospects of long life were surpassed by few. His death makes a vacancy in his native town, not easily supplied. Not only is he missed, but his loss is univer- sally lamented As citizen, neighbsr and friend, his industrious habits, business capac- ity, integrity of purpose, peaceable, quiet de pertinent, and consistent Christian character, commanded not only the respect and esteem, but the confidence of all who knew him. His age was 27.
