A Steamer Observation-Disclosures Of
the Crew. n

New York, June pa Newbern, N. c.,
letter, dated June 18 says: The United
States transport, John Farren, Capt. Small
man, has arrived here FROM Beaufort N. c.,
which place she left on the morning of the
10Th inst. The Captain reports having, on
his way, taken off fourteen of the crew of
the gunboat Lavender, which ran on Cape
Lookout shoals on the night of the 1lth
inst. Capt Smallman's attention was first
attracted by signal from the wreck, and
upon nearing it he found the men clinging
to small portion of the hull, which was
just out of water. There was heavy sea
running, which made it almost impossible
to relieve the sufferers; but small boat
was manned by the Captain and q chosen
crew. On approaching the wreck the poor
fellows, mad with hunger and thirst rushed
into the boat, which Immediately capsized,
throwing the whole party into the breakers.
1t was then some time before all got back to
the wreck again. Capt. Smallman then
sprang on the boat, which he succeeded in
righting, and after time got her bailed
out and went back to the Farren. ..
He then contrived to run line from the
Farren to the wreck, by which means, after
much difficulty, all were brought on board.
Some of the men were bruised in a fearful
manner and so much exhausted as to be

wreck four days and nights without food.
Captain Gleason, of the Lavender, reports
having run on the shoals at II O'Clock on
the night of the 11th.
The Lavender was q new boat, this being
her first trip. She was built ut Philadel-
phia, from which port she sailed few days
before for the blockading squadron off
Charleston, where she was to have been
used as tender. When she left Philadel-
phia her crew consisted of twenty-three
all told; nine of them were either drowned
or died from exposure. The Farren re-
manned for some time to try and save some-
thing from the wreck, but in two hours it
went to pieces. Upon the arrival of the
Farren the survivors were sent to the naval
hospital, where they will be cared for
Captain Gleason, Of the Lavender, begs to
return his sincere thanks to Captain Small
man for his gallant and timely aid in res
cuing himself and crew from their perious
situation; and also to all the officers of the
Farren for their kind treatment of them
while on board.

Attack by the Rebels on White
HOuse-The Rebels RepuIsed.

FORTRESS MONROE, June 22.-The steam
er from White House yesterday morning, re-
ports that at o'clock on the Goth, Fitzhugh
Lee and Wade Hampton attacked our forces
intrenched there under Gen. Abercrombie,
but were repulsed and driven back by our
gunboats. The rebels then planted bate
ry and fired on the boats and land forces,
which was continued until 4 o'clock. The
rebel loss was comparatively heavy. Pris-
oners capturned state that our gunboats
were mistaken for transports, and the rebels
expected to capture our troops before Sher-
idan could come to their assistance. At
O'Clock Sheridan arrived with his entire
command. Our loss was only three wound
ed. Abercrombie received a dispatch from
Grant during the engagement to hold the
place at all hazards. There was some skir-
mishing Yesterday.

Morality in Columbus.

EDITORS STATESMAN 81 observe that the
Ohio State Journal has a spasm of morality
almost every day since the decision in the
case of its proprietor aud publisher, and
since Mr.. HURT is assured that his sentence
is 'only dishonorable dismissal from the
SERVICE" the Local of that paper has taken
the moral welfare of the city upon his
shoulders, and talks about vigilance COM
mittees, &c. (Query- What chance would
its publisher stand with vigilance COM
mittee?) That department also contains
what was intended to be very seuere at
tack upon the police, wherein the force is
denounced as weakened and inefficient.
That paper is notorious for its promises to
Investigate" and 'ventilate," but it never
does anything more than promise. Its re-
porter has promised to investigate so many
things that have never since been heard of
that its readers begin to suspect that they
never will hear of them. If the police is
"inefficient and weak-kneed," why don't
that paper recite instances and expose cases?
The general charge of inefficiency, unsup-
ported by either evidence or instances, is
unjust and without sense or reason. The
reference to disreputable women may be
accepted as one instance, but the columns
of the Journal, within the last month, atte st
the fact that the police do all they can in
suppressing the nuisance, but they are des-
titute of the power and means to do more
than they are now doing. To stigmatize
Columbus as being a cesspool of vice and
wickedness in the general terms that the
Journal INDUCES in, and intimating that
vigilance committee Unnecessary to reform it,
is not only fagrantly unjust and untrue,
but it is Injurious to the business and good
name of Columbus. LAW.

The RECENT HIGHWAY RoBBERY-John-
ny White and VIM. Watt, the two men ar
rested for perpetrating the audacious rob-
berry upon the soldier, johnson Adams, on
Broad street, Wednesday, were examined
before the Mayor yesterday, and committed
to the county Jail, to await trial, in default
of $1,000 bail. 1t appears that the robbers,
after knocking their victim down, supposed
him to be dead, and they carried him some
distance to board pile to conceal him
Some persons who witnessed the transac-
tion, took the senseless man into room
and restored him to consciousness. The
amount of money stolen by the robbers
was an Insignificant sum, the soldier hav-
ing fortunately left the most of his bounty
at his boarding house. Adams is from
Cleveland, and although terribly beaten, he
is fast recovering, and will be able to re-
turn home in few days.

SOLDIERS PETs.-A few daysag regi-
ment which had formed part of the unfor-
tunate Red River Expedition returned to
this city on their veteran flrlough, and
among the privates there was one bronzed
and weather beaten soldier who attracted
considerable attention by carrying little
pink-eyed rabbit in his shirt bosom. lie
had carried the little creature with him in
all the battles he had been in during the last
eighteen months and it had become sort
of companion to him. Through heat and
cold, and fire and smoke Mr.. Rabbit nestled
in his place and had never attempted to
runaway, either from his master or the
perils they encountered. The creature had
been picked up on the battlefield when quite
young, and the soldier said his pet had seen
enough of war and would be allowed to
spend the remainder of its days with his
children at home. Soldiers have great
penchant for pets, and we have heard of
instances where pet bears, cats, wildcats,
and game cocks have been carried through
entire campaigns. We remember of seeing
a Wisconsin regiment going into the battle
of Iuka with huge grey eagle perched
upon a cross piece on the regimental flag
staff; and we also remember of seeing the
same bird similarly situated at the battle of
Corinth, when Price and Van Dorm at
tempted to storm that classic village. The
fighting was pretty severe and when bullets
were flying uncommonly thick, or the smoke
was unusually dense, the eaglewould arouse
himself and utter his protest in sharp and
piercing scream which could be heard above
the din of battle. Though leaden compli-
ments were received and returned in deadly
showers, the Wisconsin bird came out all
right and unscathcd. What other engage
ments he participated in we know not, but
he has assuredly escaped to become vet
eran, for we notice in Chicago paper that
the 9Th Wisconsin veterans passed through
that city the other day on their way home,
with the identical old eagle pcrched above
their tattered banner-as dignifed and ma
jestic as the emblem of our nationality
should be.

Conflagration in the suburbs-De.
structien of Wn. A. NeIl's Rcs-

Family-Heavy Loss.

About FIVE O'clock yesterday morning a
fire broke out In the country residence of
VIM. A. Neil, Esq, about two miles from
the city-being the old homestead Of the
Neil. family-and before any assistance
could be rendered the whole building was
enveloped in flames. A neighbor discover
ed the smoke and fire in time TO warn the
family, and they made their escape from the
burning dwelling through the windows, just
in time to avoid being buried In the ruins,
for the roof Immediately fell in with tre-
mendous crash. So sudden was the alarm
and so fierce and overwhelming the conla-
grafton that the family, consisting Of Mr..
and Mrs. Neil, Mrs. Nevins the mother of
Mrs. Neil, as well as the servants, had not
time to collect their wordrobes which were
entirely consumed. Nothing was saved
but few pieces Of furniture in the lower
rooms. The escape of the inmates of the
dwelling from terrible death was
indeed q narrow and fortunate one.
The building was an excellent one COM
posed of frame and brick work. Though
somewhat old 1t had been repaired and ex-
tended until it was the largest in the
neighborhcod. The origin of the fire is not
known. There was no fire about the prem
ises that any Of the family were aware of
and the hired man who left the house to go
to market but few minutes before the fire
was discovered, noticed nothing unusual
about the dwelling. The total loss by the
fire is estimated at fifteen thousand dollars
on which there is an insurance of nine
thousand.

New YORK June 23.-The following is
from Washington specials: The Senate
committee on Foreign Affairs resolved to
take no definite action on the Mexican res
olutions until next session. This determi-
nation was partly consequent on Corwin's
visit.
The Judiciary committee will be ready
in few days to report their decision on the
Arkansas case, and will probably recon-
mend that States which have not been en-
tirely reclaimed from rebellion shall not be
allowed votes in the electoral college.
General Grant has ordered the distribu-
ton of q whisky ration to our troops in
