Wreck of the Bohemian.

PORTLAND, Feb. 23.-The steamship Ro-
hemlan, Captain Boreland, from Liverpool,
struck on Alden Rock, four miles outside
Of Cape Elizabeth, about nine o'clock last
evening. She beat over the rock, turned
her head toward the shore, and sunk in an
hour and half, about two miles from the
shore OF Richmond Island, having stove a
hole IN her engine compartment. Part of
her steerage passengers are supposed to be
lost. Her bridge is covered at high water.
and the seas are breaking over her The
| night was clear and the Cape Light house in
full view
From James Scott, the Second officer,
learn that all the officers were on deck when
the steamer struck 1t was FIVE minutes
past eight o clock, and the watch was being
changed when the ship struck on rock and
went over. Orders were immediately given
TO clear away the boats and soon the ship
was headed for shore. but shortly afterwards
she sunk IN four fathoms of water Boat
No. ], under the care Of the boatswains
mate, made two trips to the shore saving
on the first trip about eighty persons, and
on the second trip about seventy. Boat

charge Of the Second officer, landed about
ninety-tour persons. In the broad cove boat
No. g. under the charge of the First and
Third officers, landed twenty-five persons.

These numbers include the officers and crew

| the parties concerned being old and infuen-
tial citizens. The particulars of the TRACE
dy are briefly these: Mr. Joseph Moore,
auctionecr Of Johnstown, on his recent re-
turn from nine month S service In the army,
ascertained that his domestic happiness had
been destroyed, it is alleged, by Mr.. Jordan
Marbourg, a wealthy merchant of the town.
On hearing Of the intimacy said to exist du-
ring his absence between Marbourg and Mrs
Moore, who is represented as preposSessing
in appearance and of gay and dashing dis
position, Moore called upon the former, and
shoot him. Mrs. Marbourg, hearing OF
Moore threats appealed to him not to
take her husbands life, but the outraged
husband would not listen to her
On Friday morning Moore arose ear
ly, and, leaving his house, visited a grocery
store near the Post-office, where he remain
ed until between eight and nine o. clock,
when Marbourg passed by. Moore started
out Immediately, and caught Marbourg by
the collar, saying. Get down on your knees :;
[ am going to kill you My wife made a
clean breast of it last night She told
me all, and gave me portion of the money
which you paid her. Saying this, he drew
revolver and fred-the first shot taking
effect in the region of the heart Marbourg
fell forward, and Moore discharged two balls
into his head and then fired fourth, which
took effect in the left arm Marbourg fell
over and almost instantly expired. Moore
walked to a magistrate Office, surrendered
himself and was committed to jail to await
the action ofthe authorities.

derer has wife and one child the latter

My days among the dead are passed
Around me / behold,
Where'er these casual eyes are cast,
The mighty minds OF old;
My never failing friends are they,
With whom L converse day by day.
With them take delight in veal,
And seek relief in woe;
And while I understand and feel
How much to them | owe.
NV cheeks have often been bedewed
With tears of thoughtful gratitude.
My thoughts are with the dead; with then
I live in long past years;
Their virtues love. their faults condemn,
Partake their hopes and fears;
And from their lessons seek and find
Instruction with an humble mind.
My hopes are with the dead; anon
My place with them will be,
And l with them will travel on
Through all futurity;
Yet leaving here a name trust,
That will not perish in the dust.

Special Order No SIT is the painful
duty of the General Commanding the Divis-
ion to announce the death, at the hands of
the enemy, of Major JAMES H. LARRIMER,
Acting assistant Inspector General of the
Division. Major LARRIMER entered the ser
vice in June 1861, as lst Lieutenant in the
5th Regiment p. r. v C. from which po-
sition he rose TO the rank of field officer
ever jealous in the discharge of his duties,
faithful in camp, fearless in the field. Ma
jor LARRTMER united with reserved and
unobtrllsive department the highest ouali-
ties of a soldier. His love to his brother
officers, and the Division, will be keenly
felt. The officers, and the staff, at these
Head Quarters, will wear the prescribed
badge of mourning for thirty days

The Escape Of Prisoners.

Over one hundred Union prisoners sue
ceeded in escaping from Libby prison about
two weeks since. A portion of them have
arrived at Washington, but many were re-
captured by the rebels They made their
escape by passing down chimney into the
cellar and from thence by means of tun-
mel which they dug-passing under street
to shed opposite the prison
This escape Of Union prisoners from the
Libby Prison in Richmond is one of the fin
est episodes of the war Nowhere in history
can a parallel be found for such general
jail delivery. To this exchange of prisoners
the Rebels can have no objections, as the
ghost of all their fears, General Butler, had
no visible hand in the matter The escape
of General Morgan and his companions is
cast in the shade by the exploit of Colonel
Streight and his gallant associates. Dig
ging tunnels is game that both parties can
work at, and the Union prisoners have made
the biggest and the longest hole yet worked
under ground in the 'Coufederacy Our
soldiers have beaten them III the field in ev-
cry fair fight with anything like equal num-
bers, and our prisoners have beat them dig
ging.

The Copperheads of the Ohio Legislature
are irving to secure the release of George
w. Buckley, the founder Of the reasonable
order of ''Knighs of the Golden Circle,
who was arrested in Kentucky few nights
ago, and has since been imprisoned IN the
Ohio penitentiary They threaten that, un-
less he is released peaceably, they will re-
lease him forcibly. By their interest in the
behalf of an original traitor, they give gn-
mistakable evidence that they belong to his
traitorous secret organization.
